SECTION 5
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION
5.1 Liability to the Company. None of the Sole Member, any of the Sole Member’s managers, any Manager or any Officer shall be liable to the Company in damages for any action that such Person takes or fails to take in such capacity, unless it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction that such action or failure to act was undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the Company or with reckless disregard for the best interests of the Company.
5.2 Liability to Others. The Sole Member intends that the Company not be a partnership (including, without limitation, a limited partnership) or joint venture. It is the intention of the Sole Member that it shall have the benefit of Section 101.114 of the LLC Law. The debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) are solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and neither the Sole Member, the Managers nor the Officers shall be liable therefor solely by reason of being a member of the Company or acting as a manager or an officer of the Company. No failure of the Company to observe any corporate or other formality or requirement relating to the exercise of its powers or the management of its business or affairs under this Agreement or the LLC Law shall be grounds for imposing liability on the Sole Member, any Manager or any Officer (or any member or other holder of an equity interest in the Sole Member or any director, manager, board observer, officer or employee of any of the foregoing or any of their affiliates) for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company.
5.3 Right to Indemnification. Each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he, she or it is or was the Sole Member, a Manager, an Officer, or an officer, manager or member of the Sole Member in its capacity as sole member of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager or officer of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as an equity holder, manager, director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as an equity holder, manager, director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company, to the fullest extent permitted or required by the LLC Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such
amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits broader indemnification rights than such law permitted prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended and as may be further amended from time to time (“ERISA”), or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 5.6 with respect to Proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company shall indemnify any such Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Managers.
5.5 Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in Section 5.4 shall include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “Advancement of Expenses”); provided, however, that if so required by the LLC Law, an Advancement of Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking (an “Undertaking”), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “Final Adjudication”) that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 5.5 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in Section 5.4 and this Section 5.5 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be the Sole Member, Manager, Officer, or other equity holder, manager, director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.
5.6 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 5.4 or 5.5 is not paid in full by the Company within 60 calendar days after a written claim has been received by the Company, except in the case of a claim for an Advancement of Expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 calendar days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (a) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an Advancement of Expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (b) any suit brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a Final Adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the LLC Law. Neither the failure of the Company (including the Sole Member, the Managers or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met any applicable standard of conduct set forth in the LLC Law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including the Sole Member, the Managers or independent legal counsel) that the Indemnitee has not met any such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an Advancement of Expenses hereunder, or brought by
the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or to such Advancement of Expenses, under this Section 5 or otherwise, shall be on the Company.
5.8 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in this Section 5 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any law, the Certificate of Formation, this Agreement, any agreement, any action by the Managers or the Sole Member, or otherwise.
5.9 Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Person who is or was serving as the Sole Member, the Sole Member’s managers, officers or members, a Manager, an Officer, or an employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such expense, liability or loss under this Section 5.
5.10 Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Managers, grant rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses to any employee or agent of the Company (other than the Indemnitees) to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the indemnification and Advancement of Expenses of the Indemnitees. For purposes of this Section 5.10, an “employee” or “agent” of the Company (other than an Indemnitee) includes any Person (a) who is or was an employee or agent of the Company, or (b) who is or was serving at the request of the Company as an employee or agent of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan.
5.11 Repeal or Modification. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 shall not adversely affect any right of indemnification or limitation of liability of an Indemnitee, employee or agent of the Company relating to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
5.12 Savings Clause. If this Section 5 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee or any other Person indemnified pursuant to this Section 5 as to all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Person in connection with any Proceeding to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 5 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
SECTION 6
BOOKS AND RECORDS; FISCAL YEAR
6.1 Books and Records. The Company shall keep adequate books and records at its principal office as described in Section 1.4, setting forth a true and accurate account of all transactions and other matters arising out of and in connection with the conduct of the Company’s business, which books and records shall be otherwise kept in accordance with the provisions of the LLC Law. The Company’s books and records shall be maintained according to the same methods of accounting used by the Sole Member.
6.2 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Company shall end each year on the same day that the fiscal year of the Sole Member ends, unless a different fiscal year is required by applicable law.
SECTION 7
TRANSFER OR PLEDGE OF MEMBERSHIP INTEREST
The Sole Member shall be entitled, in its sole and absolute discretion at any time and from time to time, to sell, mortgage, hypothecate, transfer, pledge, assign, donate, create or grant a security interest in or lien upon, encumber, give, place in trust (voting or other) or otherwise dispose of, all or any portion of its Membership Interest.
SECTION 8
DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP OF THE COMPANY
8.1 Dissolution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the LLC Law, the Company shall dissolve only upon the written consent of the Sole Member. Moreover, the Sole Member shall not cease to be a member of the Company solely as a result of the happening of any of the events specified in the LLC Law.
8.2 Winding Up. Upon dissolution, the Company shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets and satisfying the claims of its creditors and the Sole Member. The Managers shall not take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Company’s business and affairs. The Company’s assets shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, shall be applied and distributed in the following order and priority:
(a) First, to the payment and discharge of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities to creditors (including the repayment of any loans or advances made by the Sole Member or any Manager to the Company), and the expenses of liquidation and dissolution;
(b) Second, to the setting up of any reserves reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company; and
(c) Third, to the Sole Member.
