The assumption or guarantee in good faith by one or more financially responsible persons shall be deemed to be an adequate means of providing for such obligations and liabilities.

If any excess funds remain in such reserves at the end of such reasonable time, then such remaining funds shall be distributed by the Company pursuant to Section 9.6.
9.6 Distribution of Proceeds. Subject to any contrary requirements of the Act, upon final liquidation of the Company but not later than the Distribution Date, the net proceeds of liquidation remaining following the settling of accounts in accordance with Section 9.5 hereof shall be distributed to the Member. In the event the Company has more than one Member, then such distribution shall be made to the Members in proportion to their relative Percentage Interests.
9.7 Certificate of Cancellation. Upon dissolution and liquidation of the Company, the liquidator shall cause to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, a certificate of cancellation in accordance with Section 18-203 of the Act.
ARTICLE 10
INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 Indemnification: Proceeding Other Than by Company. The Company may indemnify any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the Company, by reason of the fact that such Person is or was an officer, Director, Member, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a member, director, officer, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if such Person acted in good faith and in a manner which such Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such Person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such Person had reasonable cause to believe that such Person’s conduct was unlawful.
10.2 Indemnification: Proceeding by Company. The Company may indemnify any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such Person is or was an officer, Director, Member, employee or agent of
- 10 -
the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a member, director, officer, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if such Person acted in good faith and in a manner which such Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a Person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Company or for amounts paid in settlement to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
10.3 Repeal or Modification. Any repeal or modification of this Article 10 by the Members of the Company shall not adversely affect any right of an officer, Director or Member of the Company existing hereunder at the time of such repeal or modification.
