6. Management. The Company shall be managed by the Member. The Member shall be considered the “manager” of the Company within the meaning of the Act. The Member, on behalf of and in the name of the Company, shall possess and may exercise full, complete and exclusive right, power and authority to manage and conduct the business and affairs of the Company. All directors, managers and officers of the Company are hereby removed and, as of the date hereof, the officers of the Company shall be those individuals set forth on Schedule I attached hereto (the “Current Officers”). The Member may, from time to time after the date hereof, appoint, employ and retain such persons as may be necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the Company’s business and affairs.

The Current Officers shall take such action and execute, attest, deliver and file such instruments, documents and certificates as the Current Officer taking such action deems necessary to effect the previous sentence.

8. Dissolution. The Company shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up at such time, if any, as the Member may elect. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no other event will cause the Company to dissolve.

9. Exculpation; Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, whether express or implied, or any obligation or duty at law or in equity, no person who is the Member or an officer, director, equity holder, partner, employee, affiliate, representative or agent of the Company or the Member, in each case, after the Closing (as such term is defined in that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated February 23, 2015 between the Member and the persons identified on Schedule 2.1 thereto) (each, a “Covered Person”), shall be liable to the Company or to any other person for any act or omission (in relation to the Company, its property or the conduct of its business or affairs, this Agreement, any related document or any transaction or investment contemplated hereby or thereby) taken or omitted by a Covered Person in the reasonable belief that such act or omission is in or is not contrary to the best interests of the Company and is within the scope of authority granted to such Covered Person by the Company, provided such act or omission does not constitute fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith, or gross negligence. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person from and against any and all civil, criminal, administrative or investigative losses, claims, demands, liabilities, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings (“Claims”), in which such Covered Person may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its management of the affairs of the Company or which relates to or arises out of the Company or its property, business or affairs. A Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8 with respect to (a) any Claim with respect to which such Covered Person has engaged in fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or (b) any Claim initiated by such Covered Person unless such Claim (or part thereof) (i) was brought to enforce such Covered Person’s rights to indemnification hereunder or (ii) was authorized or consented to by the Company. Expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending any Claim shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Claim upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized by this Section 8.
