13.1 Right to Indemnification. Each individual who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in, any action, suit or proceeding, whether pending or threatened, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such individual is or was a Member, manager or officer of the Company, or is or was a manager or officer of the Company and is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, limited liability company,

partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, (an “Indemnitee”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, as same exists or may hereafter be amended (but in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment) against all expenses, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, judgments, fines, excide taxes or penalties pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith.

The right to indemnification shall extend to the heirs, executors, administrators and estate of any such Member, manager or officer. The right to indemnification provided in this Section 13.1: (a) will not be exclusive of any other rights to which any individual seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled, including without limitation, pursuant to any contract approved by the Member or a majority of the Board of Directors of the Member (the “Board”), (whether or not the directors approving such contract are or are to be parties to such contract or similar contracts); and (b) will be applicable to matters otherwise within its scope whether or not such matters arose or arise before or after the adoption of this Section 13.1. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company may adopt resolutions, or enter into one or more agreements with any individual, that provide for indemnification greater or otherwise different than provided in this Section 13.1 or the Act and any such agreement approved by the Member will be a valid and binding obligation of the Company regardless of whether one or more members of the Board, or all of the Board, are parties thereto or to similar agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.1, in the event that the Company enters into a contract with any individual providing for indemnification of such individual, the provisions of that contract will exclusively govern the Company’s obligations in respect of indemnification for or advancement of fees or disbursements of that individual’s attorney(s) and any other professional engaged by that individual. Any amendment or repeal of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with this Section 13.1 will not adversely affect any right or protection existing hereunder, or arising out of events occurring or circumstances existing, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption, and no such amendment, repeal or adoption will affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any contract entered into or right granted prior to the effective date of such amendment, repeal or adoption.

Pursuant to NRS 86.431, any indemnification under NRS 86.411. or 86.421, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to NRS 86.441, may be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case by the Member that indemnification is proper in the circumstances.

13.2 Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in Section 13.1 shall include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) reasonably incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “Advancement of Expenses”); provided, however. that, if the Act so requires, an Advancement of Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a Member, manager or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Indemnitee. including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking

(an “Undertaking”), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “Final Adjudication”) that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 13.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in Sections 13.1 and 13.2 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a Member, manager or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors, administrators and estate.

If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (a) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an Advancement of Expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (b) any suit brought by the Company it shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a Final Adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Act Neither the failure of the Company (including the Member or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Act, nor an actual determination by the Company (including the Member or independent legal counsel) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of-conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee. be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an Advancement of Expenses hereunder, or brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such Advancement of Expenses, under this Section 13 or otherwise shall be on the Company.

13.4 Non-Exclusivity of Rights.
