13. Additional Members. Additional persons may be admitted as members of the Company in the discretion of the Member. To the extent that the admission of an additional member (or a substituted member pursuant to Section 12) causes there to be Members other than Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, this Agreement shall be amended or amended and restated to reflect that the Company has more than these Members.
14. Compensation. Each Member or each Executive Officer may receive compensation for services rendered to the Company, as decided by the Members.

15. Dissolution. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the earliest to occur of (a) the decision of the Members, or (b) an event of dissolution of the Company under the Act unless, if permitted by the Act, the Company is continued without dissolution (or the dissolution is revoked) in accordance with the Act.
16. Distributions upon Dissolution. Upon the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 15 hereof, the Company shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors, and the Members shall not take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Company’s business and affairs; provided that all covenants contained in this Agreement and obligations provided for in this Agreement shall continue to be fully binding upon the Members until such time as the property of the Company has been distributed pursuant to this Section 16 and the Certificate of Formation has been cancelled pursuant to the Act and this Agreement. The Members shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Company. Upon the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 15 hereof, the Members shall take full account of the Company’s liabilities and assets and shall cause the assets or the proceeds from the sale thereof, to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the Members, after paying or making reasonable provision for all of the Company’s creditors to the extent required by the Act.
17. Certificate of Cancellation. Upon completion of the liquidation and winding up of the Company in accordance with Section 16 hereof, the Members shall promptly cause to be executed and filed a Certificate of Cancellation in accordance with the Act and the laws of any other jurisdictions in which the Members deem such filing necessary or advisable to thereby terminate the Company.

19. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only in a writing signed by the Members.
20. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA, EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPAL THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
21. Severability. Except as otherwise provided in the succeeding sentence, every term and provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable, and if any term or provision of this Agreement is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the legality or validity of the remainder of this Agreement. The preceding sentence shall be of no force or effect if the consequence of enforcing the remainder of this Agreement without such illegal or invalid term or provision would be to cause any party to lose the benefit of its economic bargain.
22. Relationship between the Agreement and the Act. Regardless of whether any provision of this Agreement specifically refers to particular Default Rules, (a) if any provision of this Agreement conflicts with a Default Rule, the provision of this Agreement controls and the Default Rule is modified or negated accordingly, and (b) if it is necessary to construe a Default Rule as modified or negated in order to effectuate any provision of this Agreement, the Default Rule is modified or negated accordingly.
