(a) the unanimous vote of all of the Members;

(b) the occurrence of a Membership Termination Event as to the last and only remaining Member if the Manager and that Member’s successor-in-interest fail to consent to the continuation of the Company in accordance with Section 8.1 within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of that event;

(d) the occurrence of an event which makes it unlawful for the business of the Company to be continued.

10.2 Date of Dissolution. Dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Company shall not terminate until the assets of the Company have been liquidated and distributed as provided herein. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Company, prior to the termination of the Company the business of the Company and the rights and obligations of the Members, as such, shall continue to be governed by this Agreement.

10.3 Winding Up. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 10.1, the Company shall continue solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets and satisfying the claims of its creditors. The Manager shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and liquidation of the Company, shall take full account of the liabilities and assets of the Company, shall cause its assets either to be sold or distributed, as they may determine, and shall cause the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient, to be applied and distributed as provided in Section 10.5. The Manager shall give written notice of the commencement of winding up by mail to all known creditors and claimants whose addresses appear on the records of the Company.

10.4 Distributions in Kind. Any non-cash asset distributed to one or more Members shall first be valued at its fair market value to determine the Net Profit or Net Loss that would have resulted if that asset had been sold for that value, the Net Profit or Net Loss shall then be allocated pursuant to ARTICLE VI, and the Members’ Capital Accounts shall be adjusted to reflect those allocations. The amount distributed and charged to the Capital Account of each Member receiving an interest in the distributed asset shall be the fair market value of the interest (net of any liability secured by the asset that the Member assumes or takes subject to). The fair market value of that asset shall be determined by the Manager.

10.5 Order of Payment of Proceeds Upon Dissolution.

(a) Liquidating Distributions. After determining that all known debts and liabilities of the Company, including, without limitation, debts and liabilities to Members who are creditors of the Company, have been paid or adequately provided for, the remaining assets shall promptly be distributed to the Members in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances, after taking into account income and loss allocations for the Company’s taxable year during which the liquidation occurs.

(b) No Liability. No Member shall have any liability to the Company, any Member or any creditor of the Company on account of any deficit balance in its Capital Account.

10.6 Limitations on Payments Made in Dissolution. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each Member shall be entitled to look only to the assets of the Company for the return of that Member’s positive Capital Account balance and shall have no recourse for its Capital Contributions and/or share of Net Profits (upon dissolution or otherwise) against the Manager or any other Member.

10.7 Certificate of Cancellation. Upon completion of the winding up of the Company’s affairs, the Manager shall cause a Certificate of Cancellation to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State.

10.8 Compensation for Services. The Persons winding up the affairs of the Company shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from the Company for their services.

INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Members and Manager, and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, trustees, beneficiaries, employees, agents, heirs, assigns, successors-in-interest and Affiliates, (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities and expenses, (including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts (collectively “Liabilities”) reasonably incurred by any such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether threatened, pending or completed (collectively a “Proceeding”), in which any such Indemnified Person may be involved or with which any such Indemnified Person may be threatened, with respect to or arising out of any act performed by the Indemnified Person or any omission or failure to act if (a) the performance of the act or the omission or failure was done in good faith and within the scope of the authority conferred upon the Indemnified Person by this Agreement or by the Act, except for acts of willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty, or acts which constitute a material breach of this Agreement or from which such Indemnified Person derived an improper personal benefit or (b) a court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that, in view of all of the circumstances, the Indemnified Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification from the Company for such Liabilities as such court may deem proper. The Company’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall apply not only with respect to any Proceeding brought by the Company or a Member but also with respect to any

Proceeding brought by a third party. As a condition to the indemnification and other rights granted to an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Article, however, that Indemnified Person may not settle any action, suit or proceeding without the written consent of the Manager.

11.2 Contract Right; Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in this ARTICLE XI shall be a contract right and shall include the right to require the Company to advance the expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Act so requires, the payment of such expenses in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnified Person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this ARTICLE XI or otherwise.

11.3 Indemnification of Officers and Employees. The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Manager, grant rights to indemnification and to advancement of expenses to any officer, employee or agent of the Company to the fullest extent of the provisions of this ARTICLE XI with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Members and Manager of the Company.

11.4 Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was an agent of the Company against any liability asserted against that Person and incurred by that Person in any such capacity or arising out of that Person’s status as an agent, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify that Person against liability under the provisions of Section 11.1 or under applicable law.
