Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company shall be filled by the Member.

In the absence of the Chairman and President or in the event of their inability to act, any Vice-Presidents in the order designated by the Member (or, in the absence of any designation, in the order of their appointment by the Member) shall perform the duties of the Chairman, and when so acting, shall have all the powers of and be subject to all the restrictions upon the Chairman. Vice-Presidents, if any, shall perform such other duties and have such other powers as the Member may from time to time prescribe.

(c) Fiduciary Duties of the Officers.

Officers shall also refrain from competing with the Company in the conduct of the Company's business.

(iii) Duties Only to the Company. Officers' fiduciary duties of loyalty and care are to the Company and not to any future Members or officers.

An officer who so performs their duties shall not have any liability by reason of being or having been an officer.

(iv) Reliance on Reports. In discharging their duties, officers are entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, if prepared or presented by:

• 2. Legal counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters the officer reasonably believes are within the person's professional or expert competence.
• 3. A committee of Members of which the affected officer is not a participant, if the officer reasonably believes the committee merits confidence.

Dissolution.

(a) Limits on Dissolution. The Company shall have a perpetual existence and shall be dissolved, and its affairs shall be wound up only upon the provisions established in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the bankruptcy of any Member shall not cause such Member to cease to be a Member of the Company. Upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of the Company shall continue without dissolution.

Each Member waives any right that it may have to agree in writing to dissolve the Company upon the bankruptcy of any Member or the occurrence of any event that causes any Member to cease to be a Member of the Company.

(b) Winding Up. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in the earlier "Duration" section above, the Company shall continue solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors. The Member, or in the event of multiple Members, one or more Members selected by the remaining Members, shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and liquidation of the Company. The responsible Members shall take full account of the liabilities of the Company and its assets, shall either cause its assets to be distributed as provided under this Agreement or sold, and if sold, as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair market value thereof, shall cause the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient, to be applied and distributed as provided under this Agreement.

(c) Distributions in Kind. Any non-cash asset distributed to one or more Members in liquidation of the Company shall first be valued at its fair market value (net of any liability secured by such asset that such Member assumes or takes subject to) to determine the profits or losses that would have resulted if such asset were sold for such value. Such profit or loss shall then be allocated as provided under this Agreement. The fair market value of such asset shall be determined by the Members or, if any Member objects, by an independent appraiser (any such appraiser must be recognized as an expert in valuing the type of asset involved) approved by the Members.

(d) Termination. The Company shall terminate when:

(i) All of the assets of the Company, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities, and obligations of the Company, shall have been distributed to the Member in the manner provided for under this Agreement; and

(ii) The Company's registration with Texas shall have been canceled in the manner required by Texas law.

(e) Accounting. Within a reasonable time after complete liquidation, the Company Treasurer shall furnish the Members with a statement which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as at the date of dissolution and the proceeds and expenses of the disposition thereof.

(f) Limitations on Payments Made in Dissolution. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each Member shall only be entitled to look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its initial contribution and shall have no recourse for its initial contribution and/ or share of profits (upon dissolution or otherwise) against any other Member, if any other such Member exists.

(g) Notice to Texas Authorities. Upon the winding up of the Company, the Member with the highest percentage of membership interest in the Company shall be responsible for the filing of all appropriate notices of dissolution with Texas and any other appropriate state or federal authorities or agencies as may be required by law.

Exculpation and Indemnification.

(a) No Member, officer, employee, or agent of the Company and no employee, agent, or affiliate of a Member (collectively, "Covered Person") shall be liable to the Company or any other person who has an interest in or claim against the Company for any loss, damage, or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person

shall be liable for any such loss, damage, or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage, or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement. Expenses, including legal fees, incurred by a Covered Person defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company. The Covered Person shall be liable to repay such amount if it is determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Agreement.

No Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage, or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of such Covered Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions unless such Covered Person is a Member of the Company, who shall have full indemnity against gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any indemnity under this Agreement shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only.

(c) A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports, or statements presented to the Company by any person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other person's professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports, or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Member might properly be paid.

(d) To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to any other Covered Person, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Member to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

(e) The foregoing provisions of this article shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Insurance.

The Company shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance, including insurance on behalf of any Covered Person against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such Covered Person in any such capacity, or arising out of such Covered Person's status as an agent of the Company, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the applicable law provision.

General Provisions.

(a) Notices. All notices, offers, or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and may be personally served or sent by United States mail and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or three business days after deposit in United States mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, and properly addressed, by or to the appropriate party.

(c) Execution of Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

(d) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and separable from each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.
