(d) Assets and Liabilities Associated with a Series.

 

(i) Assets Associated with a Series. All consideration received by the Company for the issuance or sale of Series Interests of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, and all income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, from whatever source derived, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds, in whatever form the same may be (collectively, the “assets”), shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, be held for the benefit of the Series, and not for the benefit of the Company or any other Series, for all purposes, and shall be accounted for and recorded upon the books and records of the Series separately from any assets associated with the Company or any other Series. Such assets are herein referred to as “assets associated with” that Series. In the event that there are any assets in relation to the Company that, in the Member of the Company’s reasonable judgment, are not readily associated with a particular Series, the Member of the Company shall allocate such assets to, between or among any one or more of the Series, in such manner and on such basis as the Member of the Company deems fair and equitable, and in accordance with the Allocation Policy, and any asset so allocated to a particular Series shall thereupon be deemed to be an asset associated with that Series. Each allocation by the Member of the Company pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph shall be deemed conclusive and binding against each and every Series. Separate and distinct records shall be maintained for each and every Series, and the Member of the Company shall not commingle the assets of one Series with the assets of any other Series.

 

(ii) Liabilities Associated with a Series. All debts, liabilities, expenses, costs, charges, obligations and reserves incurred by, contracted for or otherwise existing (collectively the “liabilities”) with respect to a particular Series shall be charged against the assets associated with that Series. Such liabilities are herein referred to as “liabilities associated with” that Series. In the event that there are any liabilities in relation to the Company that, in the Member of the Company’s reasonable judgment, are not readily associated with a particular Series, the Member of the Company shall allocate and charge (including indemnification obligations) such liabilities to, between or among any one or more of the Series, in such manner and on such basis as the Member of the Company deems fair and equitable and in accordance with the Allocation Policy, and any liability so allocated and charged to a particular Series shall thereupon be deemed to be a liability associated with that Series. Each allocation by the Member of the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be deemed conclusive and binding against each and every Series. All liabilities associated with a Series shall be enforceable against the assets associated with that Series only, and not against the assets associated with the Company or any other Series, and except to the extent set forth above, no liabilities shall be enforceable against the assets associated with the Company or any other Series prior to the allocation and charging of such liabilities as provided above. Any allocation of liabilities that are not readily associated with a particular Series to, between or among one or more of the Series shall not represent a commingling of such Series to pool capital for the purpose of carrying on a trade or business or making common investments and sharing in profits and losses therefrom. The Member of the Company has caused notice of this limitation on inter-series liabilities to be set forth in the Certificate of Formation, and, accordingly, the statutory provisions of Section 18-215(b) of the Delaware Act relating to limitations on inter-series liabilities (and the statutory effect under Section 18-207 of the Delaware Act of setting forth such notice in the Certificate of Formation) shall apply to the Company and each Series. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no distribution on or in respect of Interests in a particular Series, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any distribution made in connection with the winding up of such Series, shall be effected by the Company other than from the assets associated with that Series.

(e) Ownership of Series Assets. Title to and beneficial interest in Series Assets shall be deemed to be held and owned by the relevant Series. Any Series Assets may be held or registered in the name of the relevant Series, in the name of a nominee or as the Member of the Company may determine; provided, however, that Series Assets shall be recorded as the assets of the relevant Series on the Company’s books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Series Assets is held. Any corporation, brokerage firm or transfer agent called upon to transfer any Series Assets to or from the name of any Series shall be entitled to rely upon instructions or assignments signed or purporting to be signed by the Member of the Company or its agents without inquiry as to the authority of the Person signing or purporting to sign such instruction or assignment or as to the validity of any transfer to or from the name of such Series.
