To the extent permitted by law, GEM II hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.  The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to GEM II for any act or failure to act, except for the Administrative Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
