TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS
Section 6.1 Restriction upon Ownership and Transfer of Ownership Interest. The Interests
and the transferability of Interest in the Company are substantially restricted. Except as
specifically permitted below, neither record title nor beneficial ownership of an Interest may be
transferred or encumbered without the consent of all Manager and Members (an “authorized
transfer”). This Company is formed by parties who know and trust one another, who will have
surrendered certain management rights (in exchange for limited liability) based upon their
relationship and trust. Capital is also material to the business and investment objectives for the
Company and its federal tax status. An unauthorized transfer of a membership interest could create
a substantial hardship to the Company, jeopardize its capital base, and adversely affect its tax
structure. These restrictions upon ownership and transfer are not intended as a penalty, but as a
method to protect and preserve existing relationship based upon trust and the Company’s Capital and
its financial ability to continue.
Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions upon transfer and ownership, a Member may
transfer, assign or convey all or any part of his Interests at any time and from time to
time during his life or upon his death to a Related Party or Related Parties without the consent of
the other Members or Mangers, provided the transferee assumes all of the obligations of the
transferring Member hereunder. In such event, each transferee shall became a Member in the Company.
The term. “Related Party”, as used herein, shall mean any member of a Member’s Immediate Family or
any trust, corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity in which a Member
and/or a member or members of a Member’s Immediate Family own a majority of the beneficial
interest. The term “Immediate Family”, as used herein, shall mean a Member’s spouse, children
(whether naturally born or legally adopted by the Member) and decedents through all generations
(whether naturally born or legally adopted by their parent).
The ownership and transfer of an Interest is subject to the following disclosure and
condition:
THE
MEMBERSHIP INTEREST OF THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY HAS NOT BEEN NOR WILL BE REGISTERED OR
QUALIFIED UNDER FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE MEMBERSHIP INTEREST OF THE LIMITED LIABILITY
COMPANY MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS SO REGISTERED
OR QUALIFIED, OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM RESISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION EXISTS. THE AVAILABILITY OF
ANY EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION MUST BE ESTABLISHED BY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR
THE OWNER THEREOF, WHICH OPINION OF COUNSEL MUST BE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE LIMITED
LIABILITY COMPANY.
The Company will not be required to recognize the interest of any transferee who has obtained
a purported interest as the result of a transfer of ownership which is not an authorized transfer.
If the interest is in doubt, or if there is a reasonable doubt as to who is entitled to a
distribution of the income realized from an Interest, the Company may accumulate the income
9
until such issue is finally determined and resolved. Accumulated income will be credited to the
capital account of the Member whose Interest is in question.
If any person or agency should acquire the Interest of a Member as the result of an order of a
court of competent jurisdiction which the Company is required to recognize, or if a Member makes
(or proposes to make) an unauthorized transfer of a Interest which the Company is required to
recognize, the Interest of the transferee may then be acquired by the Company upon the following
terms and conditions:
(a) | The Company will have the option to acquire the Interest by giving written notice to the transferee of its intent to purchase within 60 days from the date the Company receives actual notice of the unauthorized transfer or from the date it is finally determined that the Company is required to recognize the transfer. | ||
(b) | The Company will have 60 days from the first day of the month following the month in which it delivers notice exercising its option to purchase the Interest. The valuation date for the Interest will be the first day of the month following the month in which the Company is placed on notice pursuant to subparagraph (a) above. | ||
(c) | Unless the Company and the transferee agree otherwise, the purchase price payable by the Company (or its assignee or assignees) for such Interest will be the lesser of (i) the price at which such Interest was (or is supposed to be) sold to a third party in such unauthorized transfer or (ii) the fair market value of such Interest determined on the basis of an appraisal conducted by a non-affiliated person or firm selected by the Manager of the Company. | ||
(d) | Closing of the sale will occur at the registered office of the Company at 10 o’clock A.M. on the first Tuesday of the month following the month in which the value of the Interest is determined. The `transferee (unless the transferee is a Member) will be considered a nonvoting owner of the Interest, and entitled to all items of income, deduction, gain or loss from the Interest, plus any additions or subtractions, therefore, until the Closing Date. | ||
(e) | In order to reduce the burden upon the resources of the Company, the Company (or its assignee or assignees) will have the option, to be exercised in writing delivered at closing, to pay the purchase month obligation in not more than five equal annual installments with interest thereon at prime rate of interest published in the Money Rates Section of the Wall Street Journal from time to time during the closing, and subsequent annual installments, with interest due thereon, will be due and payable, in order, on the dame day of each subsequent calendar year until the entire amount of the obligation, principal and interest, if fully paid. The Company (or its assignee or assignees) will have the right to prepay all or any part of the purchase money obligation at any time without premium or penalty. | ||
(f) | The Manager may assign the Company’s option to purchase to one or more of its Members, and in such even, any rights or obligations imposed upon the Company will instead become, by substitution, the rights and obligations of the Members who are assignees. |
10
(g) | Neither the transferee of an unauthorized transfer or the Member causing the transfer will have the right to vote during the prescribed option period, or if the option to purchase is timely exercised, until the sale is actually closed. |

discretion
