None of the Member, the Manager, and any officers, employees, and agents of the LLC or the Member shall be obligated personally for any debt, obligation, or liability of the LLC solely by reason of his, her, or its status as such Member, Manager, officer, employee, or agent. The failure of the LLC to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business or affairs under the Act or this Agreement shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Member, the Manager, or the officers, employees, and agents of the LLC or its Member for liabilities of the LLC.
