ARTICLE VI – MEMBER liability
6.01 Limitation of Liability. The Member shall not be liable for the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company. The failure by the Company or the Member to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers and management of the Company’s business and affairs under this Agreement or the Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Member.
6.02 Right to Indemnification. Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided in this Article VI, each Person (each an “Indemnified Person”) who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative (herein referred to as a “Proceeding”), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that such Indemnified Person or another Person of which such Indemnified Person is the legal representative (i) is or was a Member, or (ii) while a Member is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, representative, officer, partner, director, principal, member, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another Entity, shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all losses, liabilities, judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with such Proceeding. Any indemnification under this Article VI shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity that initially entitled such Indemnified Person to indemnity hereunder. The rights granted pursuant to this Article VI shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Article VI shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings arising prior to any such amendment, modification or repeal. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding in this Article VI, however, unless the Member otherwise consents, no Indemnified Person shall be indemnified for any expenses, liabilities and losses suffered that are attributable to such Indemnified Person’s or his, her or its Affiliates’ gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violation of law, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of loyalty, misappropriation of business opportunities, or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such Indemnified Person or his, her or its Affiliates contained herein or in other agreements with the Company.
6.03 Advance Payment. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article VI may include, in the sole discretion of the Member, the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company the reasonable expenses actually incurred by the Indemnified Person of the type entitled to be indemnified under Section 6.02 above in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding; provided, however, that the payment of such reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding may be conditioned, in the sole discretion of the Member, upon delivery to the Company of a written affirmation by such Indemnified Person of his, her or its good faith belief that he, she or it has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under this Article VI together with a written undertaking backed by an irrevocable letter of credit or other security in form and an amount acceptable to the Member, in its sole discretion, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI or otherwise; and provided, further, that in the case of any Proceeding between the Company and/or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Person claiming to be an Indemnified Person, on the other hand, the Company and its Affiliates shall have no obligation, and such other Person shall have no right, to advancement of any payments or reimbursements to such Person prior to final disposition of a Proceeding, except if and to the extent the Member, in its sole discretion, may otherwise determine.
6.04 Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Company, by adoption of a resolution of the Member, may indemnify and advance expenses to an employee or agent of the Company to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it may indemnify and advance expenses to Indemnified Persons under this Article VI. The Company, by adoption of a resolution of the Member, may indemnify and advance expenses to Persons who are not or were not a Member, employee or agent of the Company but who are or were serving at the request of the Company as a manager, representative, officer, director, principal, member, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another Entity against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in such a capacity or arising out of his, her or its status as such a Person to the same extent that it may indemnify and advance expenses to Indemnified Persons under this Article VI.
6.05 Appearance as a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, the Company may pay or reimburse, in the sole discretion of the Member, expenses incurred by any Indemnified Person in connection with his or her appearance as a witness or other participation in a Proceeding at a time when such Indemnified Person is not a named defendant or respondent in the Proceeding.
6.06 Nonexclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right that an Indemnified Person or other Person indemnified pursuant to this Article VI or otherwise may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Certificate of Formation, this Agreement or approval of the Member or otherwise.
6.07 Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Indemnified Person or other Person indemnified pursuant to this Article VI, or otherwise against any expense, liability or loss under this Article VI, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Indemnified Person or other Person against such expense, liability or loss under the provisions of this Article VI or otherwise.
8 |
6.08 Member Notification. To the extent required by law, any indemnification of or advance of expenses to an Indemnified Person in accordance with this Article VI shall be reported periodically in writing to the Member, but in any case, within the twelve (12)-month period immediately following the date of the indemnification or advance.
6.09 Savings Clause. If this Article VI or any portion of this Article VI shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person or other Person indemnified pursuant to this Article VI or otherwise as to costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
6.10 Indemnity Limited to Company Assets. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including in this Article VI), any indemnity by the Company relating to the matters covered in this Article VI shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Member shall have no liability on account thereof and shall not be required to make additional capital contributions to help satisfy such indemnity of the Company.
6.11 Fiduciary Duties and Obligations. The Member shall have no fiduciary duties of loyalty or otherwise with respect to the Company.

(b) the liquidator shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including, without limitation, all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including, without limitation, the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine); and
(c) the liquidator shall distribute all remaining assets of the Company to the Member.
8.03 Cancellation of Certificate.
