against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment of the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.</font></p>

Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 18-108 of
the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act empowers a Delaware limited
liability company to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other
person from and against all claims and demands whatsover. Section 7.7(a) of
our limited liability company agreement (the "LLC Agreement") provides that to
the fullest extent permitted by law as it currently exists and to such greater
extent as applicable law hereafter may permit, but subject to the limitations
expressly provided in the LLC Agreement, Linn Energy shall indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or otherwise
requires representation of counsel in connection with, any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of Linn Energy) by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of Linn
Energy, or, while serving as a
2
director or officer of
Linn Energy, is or was serving as a tax matters partner or, at the request of
Linn Energy, as a director, officer, tax matters partner, employee, partner,
manager, fiduciary or trustee of Linn Energy or any of its subsidiaries or any
other person (each an "Indemnitee") or by reason of any action alleged to have
been taken or omitted in such capacity, against losses, expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, damages, penalties, interest, liabilities
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good
faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of Linn Energy, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was
unlawful.
Section 7.7(b) of
our LLC Agreement provides that to the fullest extent permitted by law, but
subject to the limitations expressly provided in the LLC Agreement, Linn Energy
shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to, or otherwise requires representation of counsel in connection with,
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, by or in the
right of Linn Energy to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact
that such person was serving as an Indemnitee, or by reason of any action
alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against losses,
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, damages, penalties,
interest, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Linn Energy and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to Linn Energy unless
and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in
which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem
proper.
Any indemnification
pursuant to Section 7.7 of the LLC Agreement shall be made only out of the
assets of Linn Energy, it being agreed that the members of Linn Energy shall
not be personally liable for such indemnification and shall have no obligation
to contribute or loan any monies or property to Linn Energy to enable it to
effectuate such indemnification.
Section 7.7 further
provides that expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in
defending any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 7.7(a) or
(b) shall be paid by Linn Energy in advance of the final disposition of
such action, suit or proceeding and in advance of any determination that such
Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, upon receipt of an undertaking by
or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to
appeal that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by Linn Energy as
authorized in Section 7.7.
Section 7.8 of the
LLC Agreement provides that no director shall be liable for monetary damages to
Linn Energy or the members of Linn Energy for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director except (i) for a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to Linn
Energy or the members of Linn Energy; (ii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law; or (iii) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. Furthermore, the board of directors is not
responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent appointed
by the board of directors in good faith.
In addition, the LLC
Agreement provides that Linn Energy may purchase and maintain insurance, on
behalf of its directors and officers, and such other persons as the board of
directors shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against
or expense that may be incurred by such person in connection with Linn Energy's
activities or such person's activities on behalf of Linn Energy, regardless of
whether Linn Energy would have the power to indemnify such person against such
liability under the provisions of the LLC Agreement.
Reference is made to Item
9 for Linn Energy's undertakings with respect to indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which
offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease
in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the
low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however,
That paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of
this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8,
and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to
the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement;
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such
4
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or
section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated
by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described
under Item 6 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment of the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it
has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for
filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be
signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City
of Houston, State of Texas, on June 12, 2008.
