Section 10. Officers.
(a) Officers. The Member may, from time to time, designate one or more persons to be officers of the Company (each an "Officer"). Any Officer so designated shall have such title and authority and perform such duties as the Member may, from time to time, delegate to them; provided, however, that except as otherwise delegated by the Member, the Officers shall have such authority and perform such duties as officers with similar titles of business corporations organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Each Officer shall hold office for the term for which such Officer is designated and until its qualified successor shall be duly designated or until such officer's death, resignation or removal as provided herein. Any Officer may be removed as such, with or without cause, by the Member at any time. Any Officer may resign at any time upon written notice to the Company. Such resignation shall be in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein or, if no time is specified therein, at the time the Member receives such written resignation. The initial Officers of the Company designated by the Member are listed on Schedule B attached hereto. The Member may from time to time by resolution authorize a person who is not an Officer to act on behalf of the Company and to execute and/or attest documents as an authorized representative of the Company, subject to such specific authority and such specific limitations as the Member shall in its sole discretion determine and as shall be set forth in the resolution, and such person shall have such title as shall be set forth in the resolution. The action of such person taken in accordance with the authority
| 2 |
granted to such person in the resolution shall bind the Company, and such person shall have the same fiduciary duty of loyalty and care as the Officers.
(b) Officers as Agents. The Officers, to the extent of their powers set forth in this Agreement or otherwise vested in them by the Member not inconsistent with this Agreement, are agents of the Company for the purpose of the Company's business and, the actions of the Officers taken in accordance with such powers shall bind the Company.
(c) Duties of Officers. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, each Officer shall have a fiduciary duty of loyalty and care similar to that of officers of business corporations organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
Section 11. Limited Liability. Except as otherwise expressly provided by the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be the debts, obligations and liabilities solely of the Company, and the Member shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation, or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member of the Company.
Section 12. Capital Contributions. The Member has contributed to the Company property of an agreed value as listed on Schedule A attached hereto.
Section 13. Additional Contributions. The Member is not required to make any additional capital contribution to the Company. However, the Member may make additional capital contributions to the Company at any time at its sole discretion. To the extent that the Member makes an additional capital contribution to the Company, the Member shall revise Schedule A of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 13, are intended to benefit the Member and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be construed as conferring any benefit upon any creditor of the Company and the Member shall not have any duty or obligation to any creditor of the Company to make any contribution to the Company or to issue any call for capital pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 14. Allocation of Profits and Losses. The Company's profits and losses shall be allocated to the Member.
Section 15. Distributions. Distributions shall be made to the Member at the times and in the aggregate amounts determined by the Member.

Section 16. Exculpation and Indemnification.
(a) Neither the Member nor any Officer, employee or agent of the Company nor any employee, representative, agent or Affiliate of the Member (collectively, the "Covered Persons") 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.

(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, except that 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; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 16 by the Company shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Member shall not have personal liability on account thereof.
(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be finally determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 16.
(d) 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.
(e) 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.
(f) The foregoing provisions of this Section 16 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining member of the Company to cease to be a member of the Company or that causes the Member to cease to be a member of the Company, to the fullest
| 4 |
extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such member is hereby authorized to, and shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member in the Company, agree (x) to continue the Company and (y) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of the Company, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of the last remaining member of the Company or the Member in the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of the Member shall not cause the Member to cease to be a member of the Company and upon the occurrence of such an event, the Company shall continue without dissolution.
(c) In the event of dissolution, the Company shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly manner), and the assets of the Company shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in Section 18-804 of the Act.
