PURCHASERS’ REPRESENTATIVE
Authorization of Placement Agent as Purchasers’ Representative
|
8.1
|
(a)
|
The Placement Agent is hereby appointed, authorized and empowered to act, or to refrain from acting, as a representative, for the benefit of the Purchasers, as the exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Purchasers, in connection with the exercise and enforcement of Purchasers’ rights under the Units, in accordance with the written consent of holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Units as of the date of such consent (the “Requisite Holders”).
|
|
(b)
|
In connection with its appointment as the Purchasers’ representative hereunder, and in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Placement Agent hereunder, (i) the Placement Agent shall incur no responsibility whatsoever to any of the Purchasers by reason of any error in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted hereunder or in connection with any other agreement, instrument or document, excepting only responsibility for any act or failure to act which represents willful misconduct, and (ii) the Placement Agent shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of the Placement Agent pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject the Placement Agent to liability to any of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser shall indemnify, on a pro rata basis (based on their respective principal amount of Units (the “Contribution Amount”) at the time any claim, action, proceeding or investigation (a “Claim”) arose), the Placement Agent against all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, obligations, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and other experts’ fees and the amount of any judgment against them, of any nature whatsoever (including any and all expense whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened or any claims whatsoever), arising out of or in connection with any Claims or in connection with any appeal thereof, relating to the acts or omissions of the Placement Agent hereunder, or under the Units or otherwise. The foregoing indemnification shall not apply in the event of any action or proceeding which finally adjudicates the liability of the Placement Agent hereunder for its willful misconduct. In the event of any indemnification hereunder, upon written notice from the Placement Agent to the Purchasers as to the existence of a deficiency toward the payment of any such indemnification amount, each Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the Placement Agent full payment of his, her or its ratable share of the amount of such deficiency (based on their respective Contribution Amounts).

The grant of authority provided for herein is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any of the Purchasers.
