(b) Proper and complete records and books of account of the business of the LLC, including Annex A, shall be maintained at the LLC’s principal place of business. The Member acknowledges and agrees that the LLC is a domestic entity with one owner and is intended to be classified and treated as a disregarded entity for United States federal, state and local income tax purposes. The LLC’s books of account shall be maintained on a basis consistent with such treatment and on the same basis utilized in preparing the Member’s United States federal income tax returns.

The records of the LLC shall be maintained for three years following termination of the LLC.

15. Admission and Withdrawal of Additional Members. One or more additional member(s) may be admitted to the LLC with the written consent of the Member. The Member may resign from the LLC at any time. Upon the admission to the LLC of any additional member(s), if the LLC then has two or more members, the members shall cause this Agreement to be amended and restated to reflect the admission of such additional member(s) and the initial capital contribution, if any, of such additional member(s) and the intention of the members to cause the LLC to be classified as a partnership for United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, and to include such other provisions as the members may agree to reflect the change of status of the LLC from a single member limited liability company to a limited liability company with two or more members.
16. Liability of the Member. The Member, in its capacity as member of the LLC, shall have no liability for the obligations or liabilities of the LLC except to the extent provided in the Act and applicable law. Nothing expressed in or implied by this Agreement shall be construed to confer upon or to give any person, except the Member, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
17. Dissolution.
(a) Subject to the occurrence of an event of dissolution pursuant to Section 17(b), the LLC shall have perpetual existence.
(b) The LLC shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of the following:

(iii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act.

As part of the winding up process, any amounts permitted to be distributed to the Member in accordance with Section 18-804 of the Act shall be distributed to the Member.
18. Indemnification.
(a) The Member and its affiliates and their respective partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and associates and, with the approval of the Member, any agent of any of the foregoing (including their respective executors, heirs, assigns, successors or other legal representatives) (each, an “Indemnified Person”) shall not be liable to the LLC or the Member for any loss or damage occasioned by any acts or omissions in the performance of services under this Agreement, or otherwise in connection with the LLC, its investments, or its operations, unless such loss or damage has occurred solely by reason of the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or willful or reckless disregard for such Person’s duties to the LLC or the Member, of such Indemnified Person or as otherwise required by law; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as waiving any legal rights or remedies which the LLC may have under state or federal securities laws of the United States.
(b) Each Indemnified Person shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law by the LLC against any cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgment or liability incurred by or imposed upon it in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (including any proceeding before any judicial, administrative or legislative body or agency) to which it may be made a party or otherwise be involved or with which it shall be threatened by reason of being or having been the Member or its having provided services to the LLC; provided that the Indemnified Person shall not be so indemnified to the extent such cost, expense, judgment or liability shall have been finally determined (i) in a decision on the merits in any such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) on a plea of nolo contendere, to have been incurred or suffered by such Indemnified Person solely by reason of the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or willful or reckless disregard for such Person’s duties to the LLC or the Member, of such Indemnified Person. The right to indemnification granted by this Section 18 shall be in addition to any rights to which the Indemnified Person may otherwise be entitled and shall inure to the benefit of the successors or assigns of such Indemnified Person. The LLC shall pay the expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnified Person to repay such payment if there shall be an adjudication or determination that it is not entitled to indemnification as provided herein. In any suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnified Person or any other person claiming a right to indemnification is not entitled to be indemnified, or to an advancement of expenses, hereunder shall be on the LLC (or the Member acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the LLC) unless otherwise required by applicable law. Each Indemnified Person may satisfy any right of indemnity or reimbursement granted in this Section 18 or to which it may be otherwise entitled out of the assets of the LLC only, and the Member shall not be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnity or reimbursement. The Member may obtain appropriate insurance on behalf, and at the expense, of the LLC to secure its obligations hereunder.
(c) To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnified Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the LLC or the Member, an Indemnified Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the LLC or the Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.
(a) Each Indemnified Person shall be deemed a third party beneficiary (to the extent not a direct party hereto) of this Agreement and, in particular, the provisions of this Section 18. No amendment to this Agreement shall reduce or restrict the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided to Indemnified Persons under this Section 18 with respect to any events, actions or omissions occurring prior to the date of such amendment.
19. Amendments. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Act, this Agreement may only be amended by the written consent of the Member to such effect.
20. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors, executors, administrators, legal representatives, heirs and legal assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and, except as otherwise provided herein, their respective successors, executors, administrators, legal representatives, heirs and legal assigns.
21. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed under, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws, and all rights and remedies shall be governed by said laws. The Member intends the provisions of the Act to be controlling as to any matters not set forth in this Agreement.
22. No Benefit of Third Parties. The provisions of this Agreement are intended only for the regulation of relations among the Member and former or prospective members of the LLC. This Agreement is not intended for the benefit of any other person.
23. Separability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable, and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law, such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement that are valid, enforceable and legal.
