hold office until such officer’s successor is appointedor until such officer dies, resigns or is removed. An officer may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Member and such resignation shall be effective upon receipt by the Member unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some other event. An officer may be removed as an officer for any reason by the Member at any time. Appointment of an officer shall not of itself create contract rights. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company shall remain vacant until filled by the Member. Unless otherwise determined by the Member in writing, each officer shall, in the performance of such officer’s duties, owe to the Company and the Members duties of the type owed by the officers of a corporation to such corporation and its stockholders under the laws of the State of Delaware.
7. Indemnification; Exculpation.
(a) The Company hereby agrees to indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless any Person (each an “Indemnified Person”) to the fullest extent permitted under the Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Company is providing immediately prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Person by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a member of the Company, is or was serving as an officer or authorized person of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer, manager, director, principal, member, partner, employee or agent of another legal entity, joint venture or other enterprise; provided that, unless in connection with such officer’s appointment the Member specifies otherwise, no officer shall be indemnified for any damages, judgments, penalties, fines, settlements or expenses (i) to the extent attributable to such officer’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or violation of law, (ii) for any breach of any fiduciary duty of such officer; (iii) for any breach of any representations, warranties or covenants by such officer contained in any other agreement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (iv) in any action brought by such officer, such officer’s affiliates or the Person of whom such officer is the legal representative. Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any such Indemnified Person in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, including any appeal therefrom, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. The Company may, by action of the Member, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Company with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of members, officers and authorized persons.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any indemnity by the Company shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Member shall have no personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity of the Company.
(c) None of the Indemnified Persons shall be liable to the Member or the Company for mistakes of judgment, or for action or inaction, taken in good faith, or for losses due to such mistakes, action or inaction, or to the negligence, dishonesty, or bad faith of any employee, broker or other agent of the Company, provided that such employee, broker or agent was selected, engaged, or retained with reasonable care. Any party entitled to relief hereunder may consult with legal counsel and accountants in respect of affairs of the Company and be fully protected and justified in any reasonable action or inaction that is taken in good faith in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel or accountants, provided that they shall have been selected with reasonable care.
