15. Indemnification. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, whether express or implied, or any obligation or duty at law or in equity, neither the Sole Member nor any Manager, director, Officer or employee of the Company, and no shareholder, member, director, officer or employee of its affiliates (each, a “Covered Person”) shall be liable to the Company for any act or omission (in relation to the Company or this Agreement, any related document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby) taken or omitted in good faith by a Covered Person and in the reasonable belief that such act or omission is in, or is not contrary to, the best interests of the Company and is within the scope of authority granted to such Covered Person by this Agreement, unless such act or omission resulted from fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Covered Person. Nothing herein shall constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which the Company may have under applicable securities laws or of any rights under other laws which may not be waived.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall severally indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements, as fines and penalties and legal or other costs and reasonable expenses of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim) of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which the Covered Person may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its management of the affairs of the Company or which relates to or arises out of or in connection with the Company, its property, its business or affairs, including its status as a member therein. A Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 15 with respect to any claim, issue or matter in which such Covered Person has engaged in fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct, gross negligence, or a violation of applicable securities laws, except that nothing herein shall constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which the Company may have under applicable securities laws or of rights under other laws which may not be waived. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself (except insofar as such judgment, order, settlement or plea shall itself specifically provide) create a presumption that the Covered Person acted in bad faith or in a manner constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct or materially breached this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding may, with the approval of the Board, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 15.

(c) To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company, such Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement or the advice of accountants and counsel. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they expand or restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Board to modify to that extent such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

(d) Except as otherwise provided by the Act, or otherwise agreed in writing, the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Covered Person shall be obligated personally for any such debt, liability or obligation of the Company solely by reason of being a Covered Person.

16. Governing Law. This Agreement, including its existence, validity, construction and operating effect shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

17. Amendments. This Agreement may only be amended by a writing duly signed by the Sole Member.

18. Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) No membership interest or any instrument exchangeable for or convertible into membership interests of the Company may be Transferred without the prior consent of a majority of the Managers. No Transfer of any membership interest shall be deemed completed until the prospective transferee is admitted as a Member of the Company in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any membership interest or instrument exchangeable for or convertible into membership interests of the Company in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void, no such Transfer shall be recorded on the Company’s books and the purported transferee in any such Transfer shall not be treated (and the purported transferor shall continue to be treated) as the owner of such membership interest or instrument exchangeable for or convertible into membership interests of the Company for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, any Transfer of a membership interest or instrument exchangeable for or convertible into membership interests of the Company permitted by this Agreement shall be deemed a sale, transfer, assignment or other disposal of such membership interest or instrument exchangeable for or convertible into membership interests in its entirety as intended by the parties to such Transfer, and shall not be deemed a sale, transfer, assignment or other disposal of less than all of the rights and benefits associated with such membership interest or instrument exchangeable for or convertible into membership interests of the Company, unless otherwise explicitly agreed to by the parties to such Transfer.
