(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 20 by the Company shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Member shall not have personal liability on account thereof; and provided further, that so long as any Obligation is outstanding, no indemnity payment from funds of the Company (as distinct from funds from other sources, such as insurance) of any indemnity under this Section 20 shall be payable from amounts allocable to any other Person pursuant to the Basic Documents.
(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 20.
(d) A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Member might properly be paid.
(e) To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to any other Covered Person, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement or any approval or authorization granted by the Company or any other Covered Person. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Member to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, unless the Lender (for so long as any Obligation is outstanding) agrees in writing otherwise, any indemnity of any Covered Person under this Section 20 or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to any Obligations, shall not constitute a claim against the Company in the event that the Company’s cash flow is insufficient to pay such Obligations and shall not be paid whenever any amount is past due under the Loan Documents.
(g) The foregoing provisions of this Section 20 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 21. Assignments.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any successor to the Member by merger or consolidation in compliance with the Basic Documents shall, without further act, be the Member hereunder, and such merger or consolidation shall not constitute an assignment for purposes of this Agreement and the Company shall continue without dissolution.
Section 22. Resignation.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as any Obligation is outstanding, the Member may not resign, except as expressly permitted under the Loan Documents and if an additional Member is simultaneously admitted to the Company pursuant to Section 23. If the Member is permitted to resign pursuant to this Section 22, an additional member of the Company shall be admitted to the Company, subject to Section 23, upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a counterpart signature page to this Agreement. Such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the resignation and, immediately following such admission, the resigning Member shall cease to be a member of the Company.
Section 23. Admission of Additional Members.
One or more additional members of the Company may be admitted to the Company with the written consent of the Member.
Section 24. Dissolution.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of the Member or any additional member shall not cause the Member or additional member, respectively, to cease to be a member of the Company and upon the occurrence of such an event, the Company shall continue without dissolution.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Member and any additional member waive any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve the Company upon the Bankruptcy of the Member or additional member, or the occurrence of an event that causes the Member or additional member to cease to be a member of the Company.
(d) In the event of dissolution, the Company shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets and property of the Company in an orderly manner), and the assets and property of the Company shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in Section 18-804 of the Act.

The Member shall not have any interest in any specific assets of the Company, and the Member shall not have the status of a creditor with respect to any distribution pursuant to Section 16 hereof.
