giving due regard to the activity and condition of the relevant market and general financial and economic conditions.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β The Liquidator shall have all of the rights and powers with respect to the assets and liabilities of the Company in connection with the liquidation and termination of the Company that the Managing Member would have with respect to the assets and liabilities of the Company during the term of the Company, and the Liquidator is hereby expressly authorized and empowered to execute any and all documents necessary or desirable to effectuate the liquidation and termination of the Company and the transfer of any Company assets.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Liquidator which is not a Member shall not be deemed a Member and shall not have any of the economic interests in the Company of a Member; and such Liquidator shall be compensated for its services to the Company at normal, customary and competitive rates for its services to the Company, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member.
Β
SectionΒ 12.3Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Distribution in Liquidation.Β The Companyβs assets shall be applied in the following order of priority:
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β first, to pay the costs and expenses of the windingβup, liquidation and termination of the Company;
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β second, to creditors of the Company, in the order of priority provided by law, including fees, indemnification payments and reimbursements payable to the Members or their Affiliates, but not including those liabilities (other than liabilities to the Members for any expenses of the Company paid by the Members or their Affiliates, to the extent the Members are entitled to reimbursement hereunder) to the Members in their capacity as Members;
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β third, to establish reserves reasonably adequate to meet any and all contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company; provided, however, that at the expiration of such period of time as the Liquidator may deem advisable, the balance of such reserves remaining after the payment of such contingencies or liabilities shall be distributed as hereinafter provided; and
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β fourth, the remainder to the Members in accordance with SectionΒ 5.1.
Β
If the Liquidator, in its sole discretion, determines that Company assets other than cash are to be distributed, then the Liquidator shall cause the Fair Market Value of the assets not so liquidated to be determined (with any such determination normally made by the Managing Member in accordance with the definition of βFair Market Valueβ being made instead by the Liquidator).Β Such assets shall be retained or distributed by the Liquidator as follows:
Β
(i)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β the Liquidator shall retain assets having a value, net of any liability related thereto, equal to the amount by which the cash net proceeds of liquidated assets are insufficient to satisfy the requirements of clausesΒ (a), (b), and (c)Β of this SectionΒ 12.3; and
Β
Β
(ii)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β the remaining assets shall be distributed to the Members in the manner specified in clauseΒ (d)Β of this SectionΒ 12.3.
Β
(e)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β If the Liquidator, in its sole discretion, deems it not feasible or desirable to distribute to each Member its allocable share of each asset, the Liquidator may allocate and distribute specific assets to one or more Members as the Liquidator shall reasonably determine to be fair and equitable, taking into consideration, inter alia, the Fair Market Value of such assets and the tax consequences of the proposed distribution upon each of the Members (including both distributees and others, if any).Β Any distributions in-kind shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management thereof as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable.
Β
SectionΒ 12.4Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Final Reports.Β Within a reasonable time following the completion of the liquidation of the Companyβs assets, the Liquidator shall deliver to each of the Members a statement which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date of complete liquidation and each Memberβs portion of distributions pursuant to SectionΒ 12.3.
Β
SectionΒ 12.5Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Rights of Members.Β Each Member shall look solely to the Companyβs assets for all distributions with respect to the Company and such Memberβs Capital Contribution (including return thereof), and such Memberβs share of profits or losses thereon, and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against any other Member or the Managing Member.
Β
SectionΒ 12.6Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Deficit Restoration.Β Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon liquidation of a Memberβs Interest in the Company (whether or not in connection with a liquidation of the Company), no Member shall have any liability to restore any deficit in its Capital Account.Β In addition, no allocation to any Member of any loss, whether attributable to depreciation or otherwise, shall create any asset of or obligation to the Company, even if such allocation reduces the Capital Account of any Member or creates or increases a deficit in such Capital Account; it is also the intent of the Members that no Member shall be obligated to pay any such amount to or for the account of the Company or any creditor of the Company.Β No creditor of the Company is intended as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement nor shall any such creditor have any rights hereunder.
Β
SectionΒ 12.7Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Termination.Β The Company shall terminate when all property owned by the Company shall have been disposed of and the assets shall have been distributed as provided in SectionΒ 12.3.Β The Liquidator shall then execute and cause to be filed a Certificate of Cancellation of the Company.
