(a)           Subject to the limitations set forth below in this Article X, each of the Managers, the Officers, the Affiliates of the Managers and the Officers, and the liquidator (if any), (each such Person being referred to hereafter as an “Indemnitee”), shall be indemnified by the Company (but only out of Company assets, including the proceeds of liability insurance) against any claim, demand, controversy, dispute, cost, loss, damage, expense (including attorneys’ fees), judgment and/or liability incurred by or imposed upon the Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (including any proceeding before any administrative or legislative body or agency), to which the Indemnitee shall become a party or shall be threatened to become a party, by reason of the Indemnitee’s being at the time the cause of action arose or thereafter, a Manager, an Officer, an Affiliate of a Manager or an Officer,, a liquidator (if any), or a director, officer, member, partner, employee, consultant or other agent of any other organization in which the Company owns an interest, which other organization the Indemnitee serves or has served as director, officer, manager, member, partner, employee, consultant or other agent at the request of the Company (whether or not the Indemnitee continues to serve in such capacity at the time such action, suit or proceeding is brought or threatened). Each Indemnitee may be entitled to such indemnification notwithstanding that the Company has sold, assigned, distributed or otherwise transferred its investment in such other organization prior to the time that such action, suit or proceeding is brought or threatened.

 

(b)           The Indemnitee shall not be indemnified with respect to matters as to which the Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudicated in any such action, suit or proceeding (i) not to have acted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that the Indemnitee’s action was in accordance with such Person’s obligations to the Company or to have acted with gross negligence or a willful disregard of his duties, or in breach of his fiduciary obligations, or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, not to have had cause to believe beyond any reasonable doubt the Indemnitee’s conduct was criminal. In the event of settlement of any action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened, the indemnification provided for in this Article X shall

 

7



 

apply to all matters covered by the settlement except for matters as to which the Company is advised by counsel (who may be counsel regularly retained to represent the Company) that the Person seeking indemnification, in the opinion of such counsel, did not act in good faith or acted with gross negligence or a willful disregard of such Person’s duties, or in breach of such Person’s fiduciary obligations, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that the Person seeking indemnification had reasonable cause to believe such Person’s conduct was criminal.

 

(c)           The right of indemnification provided for in this Article X shall be in addition to any rights to which any Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors or assigns of each such Indemnitee.  Such Indemnitee shall first use reasonable efforts to pursue other readily available sources of indemnification before pursuing a claim for indemnification against the Company under this Article X.

 

SECTION 10.02          Advance Payment of Expenses.  The Company shall pay the expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, or in opposing any claim arising in connection with any potential or threatened civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnitee satisfactory to the Managers to repay such payment if he shall be determined to be not entitled to indemnification therefor as provided herein; provided, however, that in such instance the Indemnitee is not commencing an action, suit, or proceeding against the Company, or defending an action, suit or proceeding commenced against the Indemnitee by the Company, or opposing a claim by the Company arising in connection with any such potential or threatened action, suit or proceeding.

 

SECTION 10.03          Insurance.  At its election, the Managers may cause the Company to purchase and maintain insurance, at the expense of the Company and to the extent available, for the protection of the Managers, the Officers, the Affiliates of the Managers and the Officers, any liquidator, and the directors, officers, employees, consultants or other agents of any such Person, against any liability incurred by any such Person in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company has the power to indemnify such Person against such liability. The Managers may also cause the Company to purchase and maintain insurance for the protection of any officer, director, employee, consultant or other agent of any other organization in which the Company owns an interest or of which the Company is a creditor against similar liabilities, whether or not the Company has the power to indemnify any such Person against such liabilities.
