12. Indemnification.

(a) The Company shall indemnify any person (each, an “Indemnitee”) who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding brought by or against the Company or otherwise, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including, without limitation, any action by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee is or was a Member or an officer of the Company, or at the relevant time, being or having been a Member or officer, that such Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a partner, director, officer or trustee of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be provided to or on behalf of any Indemnitee if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such Indemnitee establishes that (i) such Indemnitee’s acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and, in either case, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated or (ii) such Indemnitee in fact personally gained a financial profit or other advantage to which such Indemnitee was not legally entitled.

(b) The Company may pay expenses incurred by any Indemnitee in defending any action, suit or proceeding described in Section 14(a) in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to this Section 12.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 14 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 12 shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a Member or an officer of the Company (or other person indemnified hereunder) and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such person.

13. Dissolution. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the decision of the Member to dissolve the Company.
