(e) Vacancies. A vacancy occurring for any reason may be filled as determined by the Member.

(f) Manager as Agents; Other Business Activities. The Manager is an agent of the Company for the purpose of the Company’s business, and the acts of the Manager, including the execution in the Company’s name of any instrument, bind the Company. All documents executed on behalf of the Company shall require the signature (or written consent in lieu of signature) of the Manager, unless such authority has been delegated to other persons or entities. No Person transacting business with the Company shall be under a duty to inquire as to the authority of the Manager to act on behalf of the Company. The Manager may engage in any other business activity, including business activities which may be in competition with the Company.

(g) Duties of the Manager. The Manager shall discharge the Manager’s duties as a manager in good faith, with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances, and in a manner the Manager reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company.

(h) Reliance on Reports. A Manager shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports and statements presented to the Company by any of its other Managers, Members, officers, employees or committees of the Company or any other person as to matters the Manager reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits or losses of the Company or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members might properly be made.

(j) Indemnification. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, indemnify, hold harmless, and advance expenses to, the Manager and any of its or the Company’s members, managers, directors, principals, officers, and employees from, against, and for any and all losses, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, and demands sustained by reason of any acts or omissions, or alleged acts or omissions, including judgments, settlements, penalties, fines, or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in a proceeding to which the Manager, any of its or the Company’s members, managers, directors, principals, officers, or employees is a party or threatened to be made a party because the person holds or held such position; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any person for actions or omissions that constitute fraud, deceit, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person against any liability or expense asserted against or incurred by the person in any such capacity or arising out of such person’s status, whether or not the Company could indemnify the person against such liability.

5. Capital Contributions; Accounting.

(a) The Member will have no obligation to make any capital contributions to the Company.

Funds of the Company will be deposited in the name of the Company with the financial institutions and in the accounts as determined by the Manager, subject to authorized signatures that the Manager may determine.

6. Additional Members. The Company may admit one or more additional Members upon such terms and conditions, and for such capital contributions, as may be determined by the Company and the Member. No additional members may be admitted unless a new limited liability company agreement is adopted that provides for voting rights, allocations of profit and loss, timing of distributions, designation of a tax matters partners, and other matters customarily addressed in a limited liability company agreement. Any admission of an additional member without such actions will be void.

7. Distributions. Distributions of cash or other assets of the Company will be made at such times and in such amounts as the Manager may determine; provided, however, that a distribution will not be made if the Company would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or the Company’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities, except as permitted by the Act.
