sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly manner), and the assets of the Company shall be applied
as follows: (i) first, to creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of liabilities of
the Company (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof); (ii)
second, to be held as reasonable cash reserves for known, potential, or contingent liabilities in such
amount as the Member (or Liquidator) deems appropriate, in his, her, or its discretion, and (iii) thereafter,
to the Member.

(e) Upon the completion of the winding up of the Company, the Member (or
Liquidator) shall file a Certificate of Cancellation in accordance with the LLC Act.

(f) Any Reserves shall be distributed to cover liabilities as determined by the
