Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting, without prior Notice and without a vote if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Members having not less than the minimum Percentage Interests that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting of the Members. Prompt Notice of the taking of any action taken pursuant to this Section 3.4, “Action Without Meeting”, by less than the unanimous written consent of the Members shall be given to those Members who have not consented in writing.

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
5.1 Liability of Members and Managers. A Member shall only be liable to make the payment of the Member’s initial Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 2.1, “Initial Capital Contributons”, hereof. No Member or Manager shall be liable for any obligations of the Company or any other Member or Manager, unless personally guaranteed by the Member or Manager pursuant to a separate document. No Member, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Act, shall be obligated to pay any distribution to or for the account of the Company or any creditor of the Company.
5.2 Indemnification. The Members, the Managers, any officers of the Company appointed by the Managers, and their Affiliates, and their respective stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers, partners, agents and employees (individually and collectively, an “Indemnitee”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (each a “Claim”), in which the Indemnitee may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise by reason of such Indemnitee’s status as any of the foregoing, which relates to or arises out of the Company, its assets, business or affairs, if in each of the foregoing cases (i) the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, (ii) the Indemnitee’s conduct did not constitute gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct, (iii) the Indemnitee did not breach his, her or its duty of loyalty to the Company or the Members, and (iv) the Indemnitee did not receive any improper personal benefit with respect to the transaction at issue. The termination of any action,
8
suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above. Any indemnification pursuant to this Article V, “Liability and Indemnification”, shall be made only out of the assets of the Company, and no Manager or Member shall have any personal liability on account thereof.
In the event that an amendment to this Agreement reduces or eliminates any Indemnitee’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Article V, “Liability and Indemnification”, such amendment shall not be effective with respect to any Indemnitee’s right to indemnification that accrued prior to the date of such amendment. For purposes of this Section, a right to indemnification shall accrue as of the date of the event underlying the Claim that gives rise to such right to indemnification. All calculations of Claims and the amount of indemnification to which any Indemnitee is entitled under this Article V, “Liability and Indemnification”, shall be made (i) giving effect to the tax consequences of any such Claim and (ii) after deduction of all proceeds of insurance net of retroactive premiums and self-insurance retention recoverable by the Indemnitee with respect to such Claims.
5.3 Expenses. Expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding described in Section 5.2, “Indemnification”, may, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, in the discretion of the Managers, upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article V, “Liability and Indemnification”.
5.4 Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this Article V, “Liability and Indemnification”, shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any statute, the Act, the Certificate, this Agreement, any other agreement, a vote of Members, a policy of insurance or otherwise, and shall not limit in any way any right which the Company may have to make additional indemnifications with respect to the same or different Persons or classes of Persons, as determined by the Managers. The indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this Article V, “Liability and Indemnification”, shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a named Indemnitee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of such a Person.
5.5 Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Indemnitees against any liability asserted against them and incurred by them in such capacity, or arising out of their status as Indemnitees, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify them against such liability under this Article V, “Liability and Indemnification”.
5.6 Duties. A Member or Manager shall discharge his, her or its duties hereunder in good faith, with the care a corporate officer of like position would exercise under similar circumstances, in the manner he, she or it reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the Company, and shall not be liable for any such action so taken or any failure to take such action, if he, she or it performs such duties in compliance with this Section 5.6, “Duties”. Except as provided in this Section 5.6, “Duties”, and any Person who is a Member and who is not a Manager shall have no duties to the Company or to the other Members solely by reason of acting in his, her or its capacity as a Member.

ARTICLE VI
TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS AND ASSIGNMENTS; WITHDRAWAL
6.1 General Restrictions.
6.1.1 | No Member may Transfer all or any part of such Member’s Interest, except as provided in this Article VI, “Transfers of Interests and Assignments; Withdrawal”. Any purported Transfer of an Interest or a portion thereof in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect. If the Managers determine in their sole discretion that any Transfer will result in a termination of the Company under Code § 708(b)(1)(B), then the Managers may deem such Transfer shall to be null and void. A permitted Transfer shall be effective as of the date specified in the instruments relating thereto. Any transferee desiring to make a further Transfer shall become subject to all the provisions of this Article VI, “Transfers of Interests and Assignments; Withdrawal”, to the same extent and in the same manner as any Member desiring to make any Transfer. |
6.1.2 | No Member shall have the right to withdraw voluntarily from the Company as a Member, except upon ninety (90) days’ Notice to the other Members and with the consent of a Majority in Interest. Payment if any, to any Member who voluntarily withdraws in accordance with this Subsection 6.1.2 shall be made in accordance with Section 6.6, “Purchase Terms Varied By Agreement”. |
6.1.3 | All voting rights shall be forfeited with respect to all or any part of an Interest which is Transferred other than to a transferee who becomes a substitute Member (in accordance with Section 6.3, “Substitute Members”), whether such Transfer is voluntary or involuntary, by order of a court or by operation of law. |
6.1.4 | A Person shall cease to be a Member upon assignment of all such Member’s Interest. |
6.1.5 | In the event, that an Assignee exists, the voting percentages of all the Members (other than the Member who has withdrawn from the Company as a Member or has Transferred his, her or its Interest) shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis to equal 100%, until such time as the Assignee of the Interest is admitted as a substitute Member pursuant to Section 6.3, “Substitute Members”, at which time, the voting percentages shall then be adjusted again on a pro rata basis to equal 100%, taking into account such substitute Member’s Interest. An Assignee has only those rights described in the definition of Assignee. |
6.1.6 | If a Member who is an individual dies or a court of competent jurisdiction judges the Member to be incompetent to manage his or her person or property, |
10
then the Member’s executor, administrator, guardian, conservator or other legal representative shall automatically become an Assignee of such Member’s Interest. |
6.1.7 | The Company, each Member and any other Person having business with the Company need deal only with the Members who are admitted as Members or as substitute Members, and they shall not be required to deal with any other Person by reason of Transfer of an Interest by a Member or by reason of the death of a Member, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. In the absence of the substitution (as provided in Section 6.3, “Substitute Members”) of a Member for a Transferring or a deceased Member, any payment to a Member or to a Member’s executors or administrators shall acquit the Company of all liability to any other Person who may be interested in such payment by reason of a Transfer by, or the death of, such Member. |
6.2 Permitted Transfers. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, each Member shall have the right to Transfer (and the transferee will become a substitute member upon compliance with Section 6.3, “Substitute Members”), by a written instrument, all or any part of such Member’s Interest, if, and only if (i) the Managers have consented in writing to such Transfer, or (ii) if a Manager or Affiliate of a Manager is the transferor, a Majority in Interest (determined by excluding the Manager involved) has consented in writing to such Transfer, or (iii) if the Transfer is to a Permitted Assignee. Upon the death of a Member (or upon the death of the grantor of a trust which is a Member) all or any portion of such Member’s Interest may be Transferred by the terms of the trust that is the Member, or by will, or by the terms of a trust created during the life of a Member (or during the life of the grantor of a Member), or by any other non-probate Transfer document executed by the Member during such Member’s life, to one or more Permitted Assignees.
6.3 Substitute Members. No transferee of all or part of a Member’s Interest shall become a substitute Member in place of the transferor unless and until: the transferee has executed an instrument accepting and adopting the terms and provisions of the Certificate and this Agreement; and the transferee has caused to be paid all reasonable expenses of the Company in connection with the admission of the transferee as a substitute Member.
6.4 Effect of Admission as a Substitute Member. A transferee who has become a substitute Member has, to the extent of the Transferred Interest, all the rights, powers and benefits of and is subject to the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under the Certificate, this Agreement and the Act. Upon admission of a transferee as a substitute Member, the transferor of the Interest so acquired by the substitute Member shall cease to be a Member of the Company to the extent of such Transferred Interest.
6.5 Additional Members. After the formation of the Company, any Person acceptable to a Majority in Interest may become an additional Member of the Company for such consideration as a vote of a Majority in Interest shall determine, provided that such additional Member complies with all the requirements of a transferee under Section 6.3, “Substitute Members”. Prior to the admission of an additional Member, the Manager may revalue the Capital Account balances of the Members consistent with the provisions of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g). No additional Member shall be entitled to any retroactive allocation of losses, income or expense deductions incurred by the Company.
11
6.6 Purchase Terms Varied By Agreement. Provided that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement have been satisfied, nothing contained herein is intended to prohibit the Members from agreeing upon other terms and conditions for the purchase by the Company or any other Member of the Interest (or any portion thereof) of any Member desiring to retire, withdraw or resign.
ARTICLE VII

Upon an Event of Withdrawal of a Member or upon the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of a Member in the Company, the Company shall not be dissolved and the business of the Company shall continue. Each Member hereby specifically consents to such continuation of the business of the Company upon the Event of Withdrawal of any Member. Within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of an event that terminates the continued membership of the last remaining Member, the personal representative of such last remaining Member or its nominee or designee shall be obligated to agree in writing to continue the Company effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of the last remaining Member, and such personal representative or nominee or designee shall automatically be deemed admitted as a Member, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of the last remaining Member.

First, to the payment of debts and liabilities of the Company in the order of priority as provided by law (including any loans or advances that may have been made by any of the Members to the Company) and the expenses of liquidation.
Second, to the establishment of any reserve which the Managers may deem reasonably necessary for any contingent, conditional or unasserted claims or obligations of the Company. Such reserve may be paid over by the Managers to an escrow agent to be held for disbursement in payment of any of the aforementioned liabilities and, at the expiration of such period as shall be deemed advisable by the Managers, for distribution of the balance in the manner provided in this Article VII, “Dissolution and Termination”.

7.4 In-Kind. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Managers shall determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Property would cause undue loss to the Members, or the Managers determine that it would be in the best interest of the Members to distribute the Property to the Members in-kind (which distributions do not, as to the in-kind portions, have to be in the same proportions as they would be if cash were distributed, but all such in-kind distributions shall be equalized, to the extent necessary, with cash), then the Managers may either defer liquidation of, and withhold from distribution for a reasonable time, any of the Property except that necessary to satisfy the Company’s debts and obligations, or distribute the Property to the Members in-kind.
