(b) Advancement of Expenses. Such right shall include the right to be paid by the Company expenses (including, attorneys’ fees, court costs, and costs of investigation and appeal) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent permitted under the TBOC. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder is not paid in full by the Company within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Company, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim.

Dissolution and Termination

6.1 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved upon the first to occur of the following events: (i) the election of the Member to dissolve the Company at any time; (ii) the death, disability, insanity, legal incapacity, bankruptcy, retirement, resignation, or expulsion of the Member; or (iii) the occurrence of any “event requiring winding up” (as defined by the TBOC).

6.2 Accounting. After the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 6.1, the books of the Company shall be closed, and a proper accounting of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and operations shall be made by the liquidator, all as of the most recent practicable date. The Member shall serve as the liquidator of the Company unless it fails or refuses to serve or the Company has been dissolved as a result of any event specified in Section 6.1(ii).

If the property of the Company is not sufficient to discharge all of its liabilities and obligations, then the liquidator shall (i) apply the Company’s property, to the extent possible, to the just and equitable discharge of its liabilities and obligations (including liabilities and obligations owed to the Member (other than for distributions)) or (ii) make adequate provision for the application of such property. After the Company has discharged, or made adequate provision for the discharge of, all liabilities and obligations, the liquidator shall distribute the remainder of the Company’s property, in cash or in kind, to the Member. At the time final distributions are made to the Member, a Certificate of Termination in respect of the Company, together with a certificate from the Comptroller of the State of Texas to the effect that all franchise taxes in respect of the Company have been paid (the “Tax Certificate”), shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Texas in accordance with the TBOC. Except as may be otherwise provided by Chapter 11 of the TBOC, the legal existence of the Company shall terminate upon the filing of the Certificate of Termination and the Tax Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas.

6.4 No Negative Capital Account Restoration Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Member, if it has a negative capital account upon final distribution of all cash and other property of the Company, be required to restore such negative capital account to zero.
