  (d) Expenses incurred in defending any action or proceeding for which indemnification is required pursuant to Section 11(a) or for which indemnification is permitted pursuant to Section 11(b) following authorization thereof by the Board of Managers shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 11.

 

  (e) The indemnification provided by this Section 11 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, vote of members or disinterested managers or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, to the extent that such additional rights to indemnification are authorized in the Certificate of Formation of the Company.
