The Company is hereby authorized and agrees at all times to make payments (“Withholding Advances”) with respect to each Member in amounts required to discharge any obligation of the Company (as determined by the Tax Matters Member based on the advice of legal or tax counsel to the Company) to withhold or make payments to any federal, state, local, or foreign taxing authority (a “Taxing Authority”) with respect to any distribution or allocation by the Company of income or gain to such Member and to withhold the same from distributions to such Member. Any funds withheld from a distribution by reason of this Section 7.02(b) shall nonetheless be deemed distributed to the Member in question for all purposes under this Agreement. If the Company makes any Withholding Advance in respect of a Member hereunder that is not immediately withheld from actual distributions to the Member, then the Member shall promptly reimburse the Company for the amount of such payment, plus interest at a rate equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the date of payment plus two percent (2.0%) per annum (the “Company Interest Rate”), compounded annually, on such amount from the date of such payment until such amount is repaid (or deducted from a distribution) by the Member (any such payment shall not constitute a Capital Contribution). Each Member’s reimbursement obligation under this Section 7.02(b) shall continue after such Member transfers its Units.

 

(c)          Indemnification. Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any liability with respect to taxes, interest, or penalties that may be asserted by reason of the Company’s failure to deduct and withhold tax on amounts distributable or allocable to such Member. The provisions of this Section 7.02(c) and the obligations of a Member pursuant to Section 7.02(b) shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation, and winding up of the Company and the withdrawal of such Member from the Company or Transfer of its Units. The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Member under this Section 7.02, including bringing a lawsuit to collect repayment with interest of any Withholding Advances.

 

(d)          Overwithholding. Neither the Company nor the Manager shall be liable for any excess taxes withheld in respect of any distribution or allocation of income or gain to a Member. In the event of an overwithholding, a Member’s sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate Taxing Authority.

An assignee of any Units shall be entitled to receive allocations and distributions attributable to such interest from and after the date of such assignment; provided, however, that any assignment made in contravention of this Section 9.01 shall be void ab initio and shall not be registered or effective for any purpose.

Company to the effect that such Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act or any other applicable state securities or blue sky laws;

 

(ii)           if such Transfer would cause the Company to be considered a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code or otherwise become an association taxable as a corporation;

 

(iii)           if such Transfer would affect the Company’s existence or qualification as a limited liability company under the BOC;

 

(iv)           if such Transfer would cause a termination of the Company for federal income tax purposes;

 

(v)           if such Transfer would cause the Company to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; or

 

(vi)           if such Transfer would cause the assets of the Company to be deemed “Plan Assets” as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or its accompanying regulations or result in any “prohibited transaction” thereunder involving the Company.

 

(c)           Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Units in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void, no such Transfer shall be recorded on the Members Schedule, and the purported Transferee in any such Transfer shall not be treated (and the purported Transferor shall continue to be treated) as the owner of such Units for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b)           Standard of Care. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any other Covered Person for any loss, damage, or claim incurred by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Covered Person in good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, so long as such action or omission does not constitute willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud by such Covered Person.

 

(c)           Good Faith Reliance. 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 (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports, or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, Net Income, or Net Losses of the Company or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions might properly be paid) of the following Persons or groups: (i) any Member; (ii) one or more Officers or employees of the Company; (iii) any attorney, independent accountant, appraiser, or other expert or professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of the Company; or (iv) any other Person selected in good faith by or on behalf of the Company, in each case as to matters that such relying Person reasonably believes to be within such other Person’s professional or expert competence. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person’s right to rely on information to the extent provided in § 3.102 or § 3.105 of the BOC.

 

Section 10.02 Liabilities and Duties of Covered Persons.

 

(a)           Limitation of Liability. This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any Covered Person. Furthermore, each of the Members and the Company hereby waives any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may be implied by Applicable Law, and in doing so, acknowledges and agrees that the duties and obligations of each Covered Person to each other, to the Members and to the Company are only as expressly set forth in 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 Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

(b)          Duties. Whenever in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted or required to make a decision (including a decision that is in such Covered Person’s “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude), the Covered Person shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Covered Person desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other Person. Whenever in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted or required to make a decision in such Covered Person’s “good faith,” the Covered Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or any other Applicable Law.

 

Section 10.03 Indemnification.

 

(a)          Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by the BOC, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution, or replacement, only to the extent that such amendment, substitution, or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the BOC permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment, substitution, or replacement), the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless, defend, pay, and reimburse any Covered Person against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines, or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against such losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines, or liabilities, and any amounts expended in settlement of any claims (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Covered Person may become subject by reason of:

 

(i)           any act or omission or alleged act or omission performed or omitted to be performed on behalf of the Company, any Member, or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the foregoing in connection with the business of the Company; or

 

(ii)          such Covered Person being or acting in connection with the business of the Company as a member, shareholder, Affiliate, manager, director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, any Member, or any of their respective Affiliates, or that such Covered Person is or was serving at the request of the Company as a member, manager, director, officer, employee, or agent of any Person including the Company;

 

provided, that (x) such Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner believed by such Covered Person to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, and (y) such Covered Person’s conduct did not constitute willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud. In connection with the foregoing, the termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Covered Person did not act in good faith or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Covered

Person’s conduct was unlawful, or that the Covered Person’s conduct constituted willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud.

 

(b)          Reimbursement. The Company shall promptly reimburse (and/or advance to the extent reasonably required) each Covered Person for reasonable legal or other expenses (as incurred) of such Covered Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend, or defending any claim, lawsuit, or other proceeding relating to any Losses for which such Covered Person may be indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.03; provided, that if it is finally judicially determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to the indemnification provided by this Section 10.03, then such Covered Person shall promptly reimburse the Company for any reimbursed or advanced expenses.

 

(c)          Entitlement to Indemnity. The indemnification provided by this Section 10.03 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 provisions of this Section 10.03 shall continue to afford protection to each Covered Person regardless of whether such Covered Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Covered Person became entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.03 and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, legatees, and distributees of such Covered Person.

 

(d)          Insurance. To the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, the Company may purchase, at its expense, insurance to cover Losses covered by the foregoing indemnification provisions and to otherwise cover Losses for any breach or alleged breach by any Covered Person of such Covered Person’s duties in such amount and with such deductibles as the Manager may reasonably determine; provided, that the failure to obtain such insurance shall not affect the right to indemnification of any Covered Person under the indemnification provisions contained herein, including the right to be reimbursed or advanced expenses or otherwise indemnified for Losses hereunder. If any Covered Person recovers any amounts in respect of any Losses from any insurance coverage, then such Covered Person shall, to the extent that such recovery is duplicative, reimburse the Company for any amounts previously paid to such Covered Person by the Company in respect of such Losses.

 

(e)          Funding of Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any indemnity by the Company relating to the matters covered in this Section 10.03 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Member shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity by the Company.

 

(f)          Savings Clause. If this Section 10.03 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person pursuant to this Section 10.03 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this

Section 10.03 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

 

(g)          Amendment. The provisions of this Section 10.03 shall be a contract between the Company, on the one hand, and each Covered Person who served in such capacity at any time while this Section 10.03 is in effect, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Company and each such Covered Person intend to be legally bound. No amendment, modification, or repeal of this Section 10.03 that adversely affects the rights of a Covered Person to indemnification for Losses incurred or relating to a state of facts existing prior to such amendment, modification or repeal shall apply in such a way as to eliminate or reduce such Covered Person’s entitlement to indemnification for such Losses without the Covered Person’s prior written consent.

Section 11.04 Tax Matters Member. With respect to tax years beginning on or before December 31, 2017, a Member designated by the Manager shall act as the “tax matters member” under Section 6231 of the Code, subject to replacement by the Manager (in such capacity, the “Tax Matters Member”). The Manager shall serve as the initial tax matters partner. The Tax Matters Member is authorized to take such actions and to execute and file all statements and forms on behalf of the Company which may be permitted or required by the applicable provisions of Code or Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. The Tax Matters Member shall have full and exclusive power and authority on behalf of the Company to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. The Tax Matters Member shall keep the Members informed as to the status of any audit of the Company’s tax affairs, and shall take such action as may be necessary to cause any Member so requesting to become a “notice partner” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code. Without first obtaining the approval of the Manager, the Tax Matters Member shall not, with respect to Company tax matters: (a) enter into a settlement agreement with respect to any tax matter which purports to bind Members, (b) intervene in any action pursuant to Code Section 6226(b)(5), (c) enter into an agreement extending the statute of limitations, or (d) file a petition pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 6226(a) or 6228. If an audit of any of the Company’s tax returns shall occur, the Tax Matters Member shall not settle or otherwise compromise assertions of the auditing agent which may be adverse to any Member as compared to the position taken on the Company’s tax returns without the consent of the Manager. The Tax Matters Member, with the approval of the Manager, may elect (at such time and in such form and manner as the Internal Revenue Service may prescribe) for the amendments to Internal Revenue Code Sections 6221-6241 made by Section 1101 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (H.R. 1315) to apply to any return of the Company filed for taxable years beginning after November 2, 2015 and before January 1, 2018 (a “Partnership Representative Election”).

and all Members shall be bound by the actions taken by the Partnership Representative in such capacity. The Partnership Representative shall be reimbursed by the Company for all expenses incurred in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting proceedings, and is authorized to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. The Partnership Representative shall keep the Members informed as to the status of any audit of the Company’s tax affairs. Without first obtaining the approval of the Manager, the Partnership Representative shall not, with respect to Company tax matters: (a) enter into a settlement agreement with respect to any tax matter, (b) enter into an agreement extending the statute of limitations, or (c) file suit. If an audit results in an imputed underpayment by the Company as determined under Section 6225 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Partnership Representative, with the approval of the Manager, may make the election under Section 6226(a) of the Internal Revenue Code within 45 days after the date of the notice of final partnership adjustment in the manner provided by the Internal Revenue Service. If such an election is made, the Company shall furnish to each Member of the Company for the year under audit a statement reflecting the Member’s share of the adjusted items as determined in the notice of final partnership adjustment, and each such Member shall take such adjustment into account as required under Section 6226(b) of the Code and shall be liable for any related interest, penalty, addition to tax, or additional amount.

 

Section 11.06 Tax Returns. At the expense of the Company, the Manager (or any Officer that it may designate pursuant to Section 8.06) shall prepare and timely file (including extensions) all tax returns required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Code as well as all other required tax returns in each jurisdiction in which the Company owns property or does business. As soon as reasonably possible after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Manager or designated Officer will cause to be delivered to each Person who was a Member at any time during such Fiscal Year, an appropriate Schedule K-1, Partners’ Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., to such Member allocating to such Member its share of all income, gain, loss, deduction and credit associated with its Membership Interest and such other information with respect to the Company as may be necessary for the preparation of such Member’s federal, state, and local income tax returns for such Fiscal Year. The Members shall take into account their respective allocated share of all income, gain, loss, deduction and credit reported to them on their Schedule K-1 in filling out their individual tax returns and pay any taxes due.

(c)          The occurrence of a nonwaivable event under the terms of the BOC which requires the Company to be terminated; or

 

(d)          The entry of a judicial decree ordering winding up and termination under § 11.314 of the BOC.

 

Section 12.02 Effectiveness of Termination. The Company shall begin to wind up its business and affairs as soon as reasonably practicable upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 12.01 (if such event has not been revoked or cancelled), but the Company shall not terminate until the winding up of the Company has been completed, the assets of the Company have been distributed as provided in Section 12.03, and the Certificate of Termination shall have been filed as provided in Section 12.04.

 

Section 12.03 Liquidation. If the Company is to be terminated pursuant to Section 12.01, the Company shall be liquidated and its business and affairs wound up in accordance with the BOC and the following provisions:

 

(a)          Liquidator. The Manager or other Person designated by the Manager shall act as liquidator to wind up the Company (the “Liquidator”). The Liquidator shall have full power and authority to sell, assign, and encumber any or all of the Company’s assets and to wind up and liquidate the affairs of the Company in an orderly and business like manner.

 

(b)          Accounting. As promptly as possible after the event requiring winding up and again after final liquidation, the Liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which such event occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable.

 

(c)          Notice. The Liquidator shall deliver to each known claimant of the Company the notice required by § 11.052 of the BOC.

 

(d)          Distribution of Proceeds. The Liquidator shall liquidate the assets of the Company and distribute the proceeds of such liquidation in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of Applicable Law:

(ii)          Second, to the establishment of and additions to reserves that are determined by the Manager to be reasonably necessary for any contingent unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company; and

 

(iii)          Third, to the Members in accordance with the positive balances in their respective Capital Accounts, as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the taxable year of the Company during which the liquidation of the Company occurs.

 

(e)           Discretion of Liquidator. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.03(d) that require the liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 12.03(d), if upon winding up of the Company the Liquidator reasonably determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or could cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator may defer the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Company liabilities and reserves, and may distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.03(d), undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distribution in kind shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operating of such properties at such time. For purposes of any such distribution, any property to be distributed will be valued at its Fair Market Value.

 

Section 12.04 Certificate of Termination. Upon completion of the distribution of the assets of the Company as provided in Section 12.03(d), the Manager shall execute and cause to be filed a Certificate of Termination in the State of Texas and shall cause the cancellation of all qualifications and registrations of the Company as a foreign limited liability company in jurisdictions other than the State of Texas and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company. Upon acceptance of the Certificate of Termination by the Texas Secretary of State, the Company shall be terminated.

 

Section 12.05 Survival of Rights, Duties, and Obligations. Dissolution, liquidation, winding up, or termination of the Company for any reason shall not release any party from any Loss that at the time of such dissolution, liquidation, winding up, or termination already had accrued to any other party or thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to such dissolution, liquidation, winding up, or termination. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing shall replace, diminish, or otherwise adversely affect any Member’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.03.

 

Section 12.06 Recourse for Claims. Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for all distributions with respect to the Company, such Member’s Capital Account, and such Member’s share of Net Income, Net Loss, and other items of income, gain, loss, and deduction, and shall have no recourse therefor (upon termination or otherwise) against the Liquidator, the Manager, or any other Member.
