The rights, privileges, property, debts, liabilities and duties that remain vested in or remain attached to the LLC are not deemed to have been transferred for any purpose under Delaware law.
This Notice has been delivered to you as a courtesy and is not required pursuant to any provision of the Agreement. For reference, attached is an updated Schedule A to reflect the name change.
We hereby request that you acknowledge the receipt of this Notice by returning a signed copy of this letter to the undersigned at the above address.
