the purposes of the LLC; and any action taken by the Member shall be binding on
the LLC.
7. INDEMNIFICATION OF REPRESENTATIVES, COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND EMPLOYEES
7.1. INDEMNIFICATION
The LLC shall indemnify and hold harmless the Member and each
director, manager, officer, employee, shareholder, controlling person, agent and
representative of the LLC and of the Member (individually, in each case, an
"Indemnitee") to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and
all losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, liabilities (joint or several),
reasonable expenses of any nature (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from
any and all claims, causes of action, demands, actions, suits, or proceedings
(unless asserted by the LLC against the Indemnitee), whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, in which the Indemnitee may be involved, or
threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, arising out of or incidental
to the business or activities of or relating to the LLC (a "Claim"), regardless
of whether such Indemnitee continues to be a Member or a director, manager,
officer, employee, shareholder, controlling person, agent or representative of
the LLC or the Member at the time any such liability or expense is paid or
incurred, if such Indemnitee determined in good faith that such conduct was in
the best interest of the LLC and such Indemnitee's conduct did not constitute
fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct and was within the scope of the
Indemnitee's authority; provided that all claims for indemnification by an
Indemnitee shall be made only against and shall be limited to the assets of the
LLC and no Indemnitee shall have recourse against the Member with respect to any
such Claim. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its
equivalent shall not, in and of itself, create a presumption or otherwise
constitute evidence that the Indemnitee's conduct did constitute fraud, gross
negligence, or willful misconduct.
7.2. EXPENSES
Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any Claim
subject to this SECTION 7 shall, from time to time, upon request by the
Indemnitee, be advanced by the LLC prior to the final disposition of such Claim
upon receipt by the LLC of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to
repay such amount, together with interest on any such advance or advances at the
rate equal to two percentage points above the "Federal short-term rate" as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code section 1274(d)(l)(C)(i) or the maximum
rate permitted under applicable law, promptly upon (and in no event more than
ten days after) a determination in a judicial proceeding or a binding
arbitration that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized
in this SECTION 7.
7.3. OTHER RIGHTS
The indemnification provided by this SECTION 7 shall be in
addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any
agreement or as approved by the Member, as a matter of law or equity, or
otherwise, both as to an action in such Indemnitee's capacity as the Member or
as a director, manager, officer, employee, shareholder, controlling person,
agent or representative of the LLC or the Member, and as to an action in another
capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such
capacity with respect to those periods during which such Indemnitee served, and
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, and administrators
of the Indemnitee.
7.4. NOTICE
Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any
Claim, an Indemnitee will, if indemnification in respect thereof is to be sought
against the LLC under this SECTION 7, notify the LLC of the initiation thereof,
but the omission so to notify the LLC will not relieve the LLC from any
liability that the LLC may have to such Indemnitee otherwise than under this
SECTION 7, or under this SECTION 7 except to the extent that the LLC is
adversely affected by such lack of notice.
7.5. COUNSEL
The LLC shall have the right to undertake, by counsel or other
representatives of its own choosing, the defense or other resolution of any
Claim. In the event that the LLC shall elect not to undertake such defense or
other resolution, or within a reasonable time after notice of such Claim from an
Indemnitee, the LLC shall fail to defend or otherwise resolve such Claim, such
Indemnitee (upon further written notice to the LLC) shall have the right to
undertake the defense,
compromise, or settlement of such Claim, by counsel or other representatives of
its own choosing, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the LLC.
7.6. OTHER PERSONS
The provisions of this SECTION 7 are for the benefit of the
Indemnitees and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any
other person or entity.
8. DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION
8.1. EFFECT OF DISSOLUTION
Upon dissolution, the LLC shall cease carrying on its business
but shall not terminate until the winding up of the affairs of the LLC is
completed, the assets of the LLC shall have been distributed as provided below
and a Certificate of Cancellation of the LLC under the Delaware LLC Act has been
filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
8.2. LIQUIDATION UPON DISSOLUTION
Upon the dissolution of the LLC, sole and plenary authority to
effectuate the liquidation of the assets of the LLC shall be vested in the
Member, which shall have full power and authority to sell, assign and encumber
any and all of the LLC's assets and to wind up and liquidate the affairs of the
LLC in an orderly and business-like manner. The proceeds of liquidation of the
assets of the LLC distributable upon a dissolution and winding up of the LLC
shall be applied in the following order of priority:
(i) first, to the creditors of the LLC, which may include
the Member as a creditor, in the order of priority provided by law, in
satisfaction of all liabilities and obligations of the LLC (of any nature
whatsoever, including, without limitation, fixed or contingent, matured or
unmatured, legal or equitable, secured or unsecured), whether by payment or the
making of reasonable provision for payment thereof; and
(ii) thereafter, one hundred percent (100%) to the Member.
8.3. WINDING UP AND CERTIFICATE OF CANCELLATION
The winding up of the LLC shall be completed when all of its
debts, liabilities, and obligations have been paid and discharged or reasonably
adequate provision therefor has been made, and all of the remaining property and
assets of the LLC have been distributed to the Member. Upon the completion of
the winding
up of the LLC, a Certificate of Cancellation of the LLC shall be filed with the
Delaware Secretary of State.
9. AMENDMENT

instrument executed by the Member.
