Transfers by Members No holder of Units shall Transfer any interest in any Units, except Transfers (a) pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 10.02 and 10.09 or (b) approved in advance and in writing by the Manager, in the case of Transfers by any Member other than the Manager, or (c) in the case of Transfers by the Manager, to any Person who succeeds to the Manager in accordance with Section 6.04. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Transfer” shall not include (i) an event that terminates the existence of a Member for income tax purposes (including, without limitation, a change in entity classification of a Member under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3, a sale of assets by, or liquidation of, a Member pursuant to an election under Code Sections 336 or 338, or merger, severance, or allocation within a trust or among sub-trusts of a trust that is a Member), but that does not terminate the existence of such Member under applicable state Law (or, in the case of a trust that is a Member, does not terminate the trusteeship of the fiduciaries under such trust with respect to all the Units of such trust that is a Member) or (ii) any indirect Transfer of Units held by the Manager by virtue of any Transfer of Equity Securities in the Corporation.
Management by Members Management of the Company shall be vested in its members. The members shall have the exclusive right, power and authority to manage and operate the business and affairs of the Company and to authorize any act or transaction on behalf of the Company. The members may from time to time appoint and delegate authority to act on behalf of the Company to such officers as the members deem appropriate. Any deed, agreement or other instrument, whether or not for apparently carrying on in the usual way the business or affairs of the Company, shall be binding on the Company and may be relied upon by any person or entity which is supplied with such executed deed, agreement or other instrument, if the same is executed on behalf of the Company by a member.
New Members No person may be admitted as a member of the Company without the approval of the Member.
Communications by Holders with Other Holders Holders may communicate pursuant to TIA § 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes. The Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of TIA § 312(c).
Limitations on Suits by Securityholders No Holder of any Security of any series or of any Coupon appertaining thereto shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each affected series then Outstanding (treated as a single class) shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.09; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Security or Coupon with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities of any series or Coupons appertaining to such Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holder of Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities of the applicable series and Coupons appertaining to such Securities. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Agent Unless Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Rights of Members (a) Each Member irrevocably waives any right that it may have to maintain an action for partition with respect to the property of the Company.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (i) each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contributions, and (ii) no Member shall have priority over any other Member as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions or allocations.
Determinations by Trustees The Trustees may make any determinations they deem necessary with respect to the provisions of this Declaration of Trust, including the following matters: the amount of the assets, obligations, liabilities and expenses of the Trust or any Series or Class; the amount of the net income of the Trust or any Series or Class from dividends, capital gains, interest or other sources for any period and the amount of assets at any time legally available for the payment of dividends or distributions; which items are to be treated as income and which as capital; the amount, purpose, time of creation, increase or decrease, alteration or cancellation of any reserves or charges and the propriety thereof (whether or not any obligation or liability for which such reserves or charges were created shall have been paid or discharged); the market value, or any other price to be applied in determining the market value, or the fair value, of any security or other asset owned or held by the Trust or any Series or Class; the number of Shares of the Trust or any Series or Class issued or issuable; and the net asset value per Share.
Duties of Members Each Member must have a duty as set forth in Exhibit 1 to this agreement. The Members agree that the failure to satisfy a Member’s duties may result in the expulsion or removal of that Member.
(a) If a Member fails at their duties for a period of one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days, the Member will lose their membership interest. The start date of the failure must be documented.
(b) If a Member fails to do their duties for one hundred twenty (120) days out of any two hundred thirty nine (239) day period, the Company will consider such a failure and whether the Member will be expelled and lose their membership interest in accordance with this Article and Section 00-00-000 of the Act. The dates of failure in question must be documented.
(c) If a Member disputes the completion of another Member’s duties and attempts to take over that Member’s interest, they must do so in writing by certified delivery to the Member’s residential address as listed in Exhibit 1. If certified delivery is not available, hand delivery by a third party is acceptable.
(d) If a Member receives a complaint as described above, the Member must fulfill their established duties within fourteen (14) days.
(e) If there is a dispute as to what any Member’s duties are or if those duties are being fulfilled, and the Members have gone through the dispute process outlined in the above subsections (a) through (d) of this Section 4.06, the Members agree to enter into binding mediation or arbitration to decide if the Member’s duties are being performed in compliance with the agreed duties as outlined in Exhibit 1 of this Agreement. If the Members fail to reach an agreement through arbitration or mediation, the Members in dispute agree to file a complaint in the appropriate Court to procure a decision as to the fulfillment of Members’ duties. Upon a decision by the Court that a Member has failed to meet its duties, the Member will assign and forfeit their membership interest to the other remaining Member(s). The assignment of the non-compliant Member’s membership interest will result in a debt owed to the non-compliant Member by the Company. The debt owed to the expelled Member shall be the aggregate sum of any capital contributions submitted to the Company by the expelled Member.
(f) The value of the non-compliant Member’s interest being transferred to the remaining Member(s) must be determined before the transfer can be completed. During the course of the transfer, the non-compliant Member will maintain complete powers of membership in the Company.
(g) In the event of a dispute of Member’s duties, Members may negotiate an exchange of membership interests for a lesser amount of Member duties, provided that modification is memorialized and attached to Exhibit 1.
