5.2         
Right to Indemnity.  If any Member or assignee or any trustee, director, officer, partner, member, or director of any Member or assignee serving on behalf of the Company or any Officer of the Company (an “Indemnitee”) was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving a cause of action or alleged cause of action for damages or other relief arising from or related to the business or affairs of the Company, the Company (but without recourse to the separate assets of the Member or any assignee) shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all losses, costs and expenses, including judgments and amounts paid in settlement and attorney’s fees actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the action, suit, proceeding or investigation, so long as the Indemnitee has performed his, her or its duties in good faith, in a manner he, she or it reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company, and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a similar position would use under similar circumstances and, with respect to any criminal action, proceeding or investigation, that she, he, or it had reasonable cause to believe his, hers or its conduct was not unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation by judgment, order, settlement or conviction upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that an Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner she, he, or it reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances and, with respect to any criminal action, proceeding or investigation, that she, he, or it had reasonable cause to believe his, hers or its conduct was not unlawful.

5.4         
Advancement of Expenses.  Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any Indemnitee in defending any action, suit, proceeding or investigation shall be paid by the Company as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, proceeding or investigation, upon the terms and conditions as the Member shall determine.

5.5         
Other Rights to Indemnity or Reimbursement; Survival.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, indemnification under this Article 5 shall be provided only with respect to losses, costs, expenses, judgments and amounts which otherwise are not compensated for by insurance carried for the benefit of the Company. Any indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any rule of law (whether common law or statutory), agreement or arrangement, whether as to action in an official capacity or as to action in another capacity while holding such position or while employed by or acting as agent for the Company, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in any capacity on behalf of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, executors and administrators of the Indemnitee.

4

5.6         
Indemnification of Employees and Agents.  The Company may indemnify any employee or agent of the Company and any employee or Affiliate of any Member serving on behalf of the Company upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Member considers appropriate.

5.7         
Savings Clause.  If this Article 5 or any portion of this Article shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including any action by or in the right of the Company, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Article 6.  Dissolution and Final Liquidation

6.1         
Dissolution. Notwithstanding the retirement, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of the Member, or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued membership of the Member in the Company, the term of the Company shall continue from the date of its formation in perpetuity, unless earlier dissolved on the earliest to occur of:

An election to dissolve the Company made by written consent of the Member; or


(B)
The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under the Act.

6.2         
Winding Up.  On the dissolution of the Company, the Company’s affairs shall be wound up as soon as reasonably practicable. The winding up shall be accomplished by the Member.

6.3         
Distribution of Assets.  On the winding up of the Company, its assets shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of priority, provided for in the Act.

Article 7.  General

7.1         
Governing Law. This agreement is governed by and is to be construed under the laws of Delaware, without giving effect to its rules of conflicts of laws.

7.2         
Construction.  The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and do not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
