 5 









	 	
or of the Member arising out of the Company. Such reserves will be paid over by the Board of Managers to a person satisfactory to the Board of Managers to be held in escrow for such period as the
Board of Managers deems advisable and for distribution at the expiration of such term in the manner hereinafter provided.

 12. Indemnification. The Company will have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a member,
Manager, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and
in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not, of itself, create a presumption that such person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. 

13. Certificates. Ownership will be maintained in an ownership ledger kept in electronic format and no certificates will be issued unless specifically
requested by a member. Each member whose units have been paid for in full will be entitled to and may request a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of units standing on the books in the member’s name. Each certificate will be
numbered, bear the signatures of the president or vice president, and the treasurer or an assistant treasurer or the secretary or an assistant secretary, certify the number of units represented by the certificate, bear the seal of the Company and be
issued according to the numerical order maintained in the electronic ownership ledger. A record of each certificate issued will be maintained by the Company. Any or all the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer,
transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate will have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Company with the
same effect as if the person who signed the certificate was such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

 14. Transfer. The secretary will transfer units on the books of the Company on receipt of proper evidence
of succession, assignment or authority to transfer and evidence of compliance with any agreement restricting transfer by which the member is bound, or if a unit certificate has been previously issued, the surrender of the certificate or certificates
representing the transferred units duly endorsed or accompanied by the foregoing proper evidence. Surrendered certificates will be canceled and, if requested, new certificates issued to the member entitled thereto. 

15. Miscellaneous. It is further agreed that: 
  

	 	15.1.	Amendment. Any amendment of this Agreement or the Articles will require the written approval of the Member. 

  

	 	15.2.	Governing Law. This Agreement has been executed, delivered and is intended to be performed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and the substantive laws of the State of Oklahoma will govern the validity, construction and
enforcement of this Agreement.

If any part of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the balance will nevertheless be carried into effect. 

  

	 	15.4.	Notices. Any notice, payment, demand or communication required or permitted to be given by any provision of this Agreement will be deemed to have been given when delivered personally to the Member or Manager or
