issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 15, (i) "Proceeding" includes any action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing and any other proceeding (including any appeals from any of the foregoing) whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative that arise out of or otherwise relate to this agreement and the terms hereof and (ii) "Claims" means demands, demand letters, claims, actions, notices of noncompliance or violation, or other proceedings.

Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by the Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of any Indemnitee to repay any expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such expenses.

(d) All duties and liabilities (fiduciary and otherwise) of the Member and its affiliates are restricted to those expressly stated in this agreement.

16. Admission of Additional Members. One or more additional members of the Company may be admitted to the Company with the written consent of the Member.

As used in this Section 18, "Transfer" means any sale, assignment (other than a Collateral Assignment) or conveyance and any transfer occurring as a result of or in connection with the enforcement or realization by a secured party of its security interest granted by means of any encumbrance, collateral assignment, mortgage or pledge by the Member of all or any portion of its membership interest in the Company, whether occurring voluntarily or by operation of law or the disposition of any of its membership interest pursuant to a foreclosure or sale in lieu of a foreclosure.

Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Company's liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any person or entity who may have an interest in such payment by reason of assignment or otherwise.

(d) If any mutilated Membership Certificate is surrendered to the Company, then the Company shall issue a new Membership Certificate evidencing the Interest as the Membership Certificate so surrendered. Upon delivery by the record holder of an Interest of an affidavit and indemnity, both in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that a previously issued Membership Certificate has been lost, destroyed or stolen, the Company shall issue a new Membership Certificate evidencing the Interest.

(e) Each Membership Certificate, including the rights attendant thereto, shall be a security governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code in any jurisdiction (a) that has adopted revisions to Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code substantially consistent with the 1994 revisions to Article 8 adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and (b) the laws of which may be applicable, from time to time, to the issues of perfection, the effect of perfection or non-perfection and the priority of a security interest in membership interests of the Company.
