4
6.5 Management Powers and Responsibilities. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.1 hereof, the Manager shall have power and authority, on behalf of the Company:

(f) Upon written approval by the Sole Member, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company as part of a single transaction or plan so long as such disposition does not violate or otherwise cause a default under any other agreement to which the Company may be bound;
(g) To execute on behalf of the Company all instruments and documents, including, without limitation, checks, drafts, notes, and other negotiable instruments, mortgages or deeds of trust, security agreements, financing statements, documents providing for the acquisition, mortgage or disposition of the Company’s property, assignments, bills of sale, leases, partnership agreements, and any other instruments or documents necessary, in the opinion of the Manager, to the business of the Company;

The fact that the other contracting party is the Sole Member or the Manager or is directly or indirectly affiliated or connected with the Sole Member or the Manager shall not prohibit the Manager from dealing with such Person on the Company’s behalf;
(i) To make an assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Company, file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or appoint a receiver for the Company, provided such action has been approved in advance in writing by the Sole Member;
(j) To enter into any and all other agreements on behalf of the Company with any other Person or entity for any purpose, in such forms as the Manager may approve;

6,9 Exculpation of the Manager. Any act or the failure to do any act by the Manager or, if the Manager is not an individual, any manager, member, stockholder, trustee, officer, director or employee of such Manager, the effect of which results in loss or damage to the Company, shall not give rise to any liability to the Company by the Manager if done in good faith to promote the best interests of the Company or if done pursuant to advice of independent legal counsel, accountants or other experts selected, engaged or retained by the Company with reasonable care. The preceding sentence shall not relieve any Person of liability for gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or misappropriation of Company assets.

The Company shall fully indemnify the Manager, or, if the Manager is not an individual, any manager, member, stockholder, trustee, officer, director, member, manager or employee of such Manager to the same and fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable
6
law may hereinafter from time to time permit. The Company shall also have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Manager against any liability asserted against the Manager and incurred by the Manager in any such capacity or arising out of his, her or its status as a Manager, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify the Manager against such liability under the provisions of this Section 6.10 or applicable law.

The Manager shall determine the title, duties, responsibilities and compensation of each Officer, and shall be entitled to delegate to each Officer those duties and obligations of the Manager as set forth herein or as otherwise permitted hereby or by the Act that are consistent with such Officer’s position and scope of responsibility; provided, however that each Officer shall be subject to such restrictions on authority and conduct as the Manager may determine in the Manager’s sole discretion, and provided, further, that no such delegation shall relieve the Manager of such Manager’s duty to act in good faith and in a manner that such Manager reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company. Subject to the provisions of any written contract of employment that may be entered into between the Company and any such Officer, each Officer shall hold his or her office at the pleasure of the Manager and may be removed by the Manager at any time in the Manager’s sole and absolute discretion. Alternatively, any Officer may resign upon prior written notice to the Manager, and the acceptance of resignation shall not be required to make it effective.
