MANAGEMENT

2.1 Management. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or required by the Act, the management, operation and control of the Company and its business and affairs shall be vested exclusively with the “manager” (within the meaning of the Act) of the Company. The Company shall have one (1) manager (“Manager”) who need not be a member of the Company. The Manager shall be designated in writing by the Member and shall serve as such until such person resigns as Manager or is removed as Manager by the Member. The acts of the Manager in carrying on the business and activities of the Company (and the management, operation and control thereof) as authorized herein (including execution of any agreement by the Manager) shall bind the Company. Except as otherwise provided herein, only the Manager and such officers, employees or other agents of the Company authorized by the Manager shall have the authority to bind, or conduct the affairs of, the Company. The initial Manager shall be Steven Purdy.

2.2 Officers. The Manager may appoint from time to time one or more officers of the Company with such titles, powers, duties, compensation and other terms as the Manager may determine to be necessary or appropriate. Any such officers shall serve, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified. Any officer may be removed by the Manager at any time with or without cause.

2.3 President. The Company shall have a President. The President shall be the principal executive officer of the Company and, subject to the control of the Manager, shall in general supervise and control all of the business and affairs of the Company. He shall sign any deeds, mortgages, bonds, contracts, or other instruments which the Manager has authorized to be

 

2


executed, except in cases where the signing and execution thereof shall be required by law to be otherwise signed or executed; and in general he shall perform all duties incident to the office of President and such other duties as may be prescribed by the Manager from time to time. The initial President shall be Steven Purdy.

2.4 Indemnification. The Company (to the extent of its assets) does hereby agree to indemnify and to hold each person who at any time serves or has served as the Organizer or as a Manager or President of the Company (each an “Indemnified Party”) wholly harmless from any loss, expense, or damage (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) suffered by such party by reason of anything such Indemnified Party may do or refrain from doing hereafter for and on behalf of the Company and in furtherance of its interests or by reason of their status or involvement with the Company; provided, however, (a) that the Company shall not indemnify any Indemnified Party for any loss, expense, or damage which such Indemnified Party may suffer as a result of any act or omission by such party that constitutes fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence; and (b) that the indemnity set forth herein is limited to the assets of the Company and no Member or Manager will be required to make any additional capital contributions with respect to such indemnity. The Company will advance costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by any such Indemnified Party in defending any such claim in advance of the final disposition of such claim upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party to repay amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 2.4 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Indemnified Party may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, or otherwise.

ARTICLE III

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

3.1 Capital Contributions. The Member shall make such contributions to the capital of the Company, and on such terms and conditions, as the Member may from time to time determine in the Member’s sole discretion. The Member shall have no duty or obligation to make any other contributions to the capital of the Company for any purpose. All capital contributions by the Member shall be recorded on the books and records of the Company. Property owned by the Member shall in no event be deemed owned by the Company unless there is a writing affirmatively evidencing the Member’s intent to transfer title to such property to the Company.

3.2 Distributions. The Company shall make such distributions of money and other property to the Member at such times and in such amounts as determined from time to time by the Member. The Member shall not be required to return all or part of any distributions made to the Member by the Company. Neither the Company nor any creditor of the Company or any other person shall have any claim against the Member with respect to any distribution made by the Company to the Member, and any such claim that the Company, any creditor of the Company, or any other person might have for the return of all or part of such distribution shall be deemed to be “compromised” within the meaning of the Act by the terms of this provision.

ADMISSION OF NEW MEMBERS; DISSOLUTION

The Member may assign, transfer and otherwise convey (collectively, “convey”) all or part of the Member’s membership interest in the Company only by executing a written instrument of assignment, duly describing the membership interest in the Company being conveyed to the transferee and the rights and obligations that the transferee shall have in respect of such interest (including whether the transferee is to be admitted as a member of the Company); provided, however, that the Member may distribute to its equity holders all or part of the Member’s membership interest in the Company pursuant to action by the governing body of such Member authorizing such distribution and no further action, approval or documentation is required to effect any such distribution. Any attempted or purported conveyance of all or part of a membership interest in the Company that does not comply with the preceding sentence shall be null and void and not recognized by the Company.

4.2 Admission of Additional Members. The Manager may issue membership interests to other persons and admit such persons as members of the Company; provided, however, that if the Member distributes to its equity holders all or part of the Member’s membership interest in the Company, such equity holders of the Member shall be admitted as members of the Company immediately upon such distribution with no further action, approval or documentation required hereunder. Any attempted or purported admission of a member that does not comply with the preceding sentence shall be null and void and not recognized by the Company.

4.3 Dissolution and Winding Up. The Manager, with the Member’s written approval, may cause the Company to dissolve and wind up its affairs. Upon its 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.

ARTICLE V

CONTRACTS, LOANS, CHECKS AND DEPOSITS

5.1 Contracts. The Manager may authorize any officer or officers, agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute and deliver any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Company, and such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

5.5 Execution of Instruments. All agreements, indentures, mortgages, deeds, contracts, conveyances, transfers, certificates, declarations, receipts, discharges, releases, satisfactions, settlements, affidavits, notes, evidences of indebtedness, or other instruments in writing, or any assignment or endorsement thereof, may be signed, executed, acknowledged, verified, delivered or accepted in behalf of the Company by the President or any manager. Any such instruments may also be executed, acknowledged, verified, delivered, or accepted in behalf of the Company in such other manner and by such other officers as the Member may from time to time direct.

5.6 Member Pledge of Membership Interest. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Member shall be permitted to pledge or hypothecate any or all of its membership interest to any lender to the Company (or any affiliate of the Company) or any agent acting on such lender’s behalf, and any conveyance of such membership interest pursuant to any such lender’s (or agent’s) exercise of remedies in connection with any such pledge or hypothecation shall be permitted under this Agreement with no further action or approval required hereunder. Upon the exercise of remedies in connection with such pledge or hypothecation, (a) such lender (or agent) or transferee of such lender (or agent), as the case may be, shall become a Member under this Agreement and shall succeed to all of the rights and shall be bound by all of the obligations of a Member under this Agreement without taking any further action on the part of such lender (or agent) or transferee, as the case may be, and (b) without complying with any other procedures set forth in this Agreement, and following such exercise of remedies, the pledging Member shall cease to be a Member and shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Member shall constitute any necessary approval of such Member under the Act to the foregoing provisions of this Section. This Section may not be amended or modified so long as any portion of the Member’s membership interest is subject to a pledge or hypothecation without the pledgee’s (or the transferee of such pledgee’s) prior written consent.
