Until a transfer is so recorded, the owners of record of Shares shall be deemed to be the owners for all purposes hereunder and neither any Member nor the Company shall be affected by any notice of a proposed transfer.
ARTICLE 10
DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION
10.1 Dissolution. The Company shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up on the first to occur of the following:
(a) the written Consent of the Authorized Members;
8
(b) the unanimous written Consent of the Managers; or
(c) entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under the Act.
10.2 Liquidation and Termination. On dissolution of the Company, the Company shall appoint one or more Members as liquidator. The liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and under the Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the liquidator shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Managers. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:
(a) as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;
(b) the liquidator shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including, without limitation, all expenses incurred in liquidation or otherwise make adequate provisions for payment and discharge thereof (including, without limitation, the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine); and
(c) all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with their respective ownership of Shares.
All distributions in kind to the Members shall be made subject to the liability of each distributee for costs, expenses, and liabilities theretofore incurred or for which the Company has committed prior to the date of termination and those costs, expenses, and liabilities shall be allocated to the distributee pursuant to this Section 10.2. The distribution of cash and/or property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member with respect to its Shares and all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of the Act. To the extent that a Member returns funds to the Company, it has no claim against any other Member for those funds.
10.3 Articles of Dissolution. On completion of the distribution of Company assets as provided herein, the Company is terminated, and any Member (or such other Person or Persons as the Act may require or permit) shall file Articles of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to Section 2.5 and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.
10.4 Events of Bankruptcy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the events described in § 18-304 of the Act shall cause a Member to cease to be a Member of the Company and, upon the occurrence of any such event, the Company shall continue without dissolution.
9
ARTICLE 11
MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Binding Agreement. Subject to the provisions set forth herein, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Members and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns. Whenever in this instrument a reference to any Member is made, such reference shall be deemed to include a reference to the heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each Member.
11.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
11.3 Enforceability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provisions to any other Person or circumstance shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
11.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, unless subsequently amended, contains the final and entire Agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes any prior written or oral agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein.
11.5 Effect of Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Company. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.
11.6 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED UNDER AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, REGARDLESS OF CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
11.7 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified upon the Consent of the Authorized Member(s); provided, however, that any amendment or modification that materially and adversely affects a Member’s economic interest in the Company shall not be effective as to such Member without the Consent of such Member.
11.8 Conflict of Interest; No Implied Duties. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Members holding more than 50% of the Shares have duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating to the Company or any other Member, such Members shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, which, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities or rights and powers otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties, liabilities, rights and powers. No Member shall be required to act hereunder as its sole and exclusive
10
business activity and any Member may have other business interests and engage in other activities in addition to those relating to the Company, including those which might compete with the Company. Neither the Company nor any Member shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement in or to any other interests or activities or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom. A Member may transact business with the Company and, subject to applicable laws, has the same rights and obligations with respect thereto as any other Person. No transaction between a Member, its Affiliates, and the Company shall be voidable solely because a Member has a direct or indirect interest in the transaction.
11.9 Notices. Any Notice to the Members required under the terms of this Agreement shall be sent to their respective addresses, as set forth on the register of Members maintained by the Company. All Notices and copies thereof provided for herein shall be hand delivered with receipt therefor, sent by overnight courier service with receipt therefor, or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and first-class postage prepaid. Changes of address may be given to the Company and the Members by Notice given in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.9. Time periods shall commence on the date that such Notice is delivered or attempted to be delivered if receipt thereof is refused by the recipient. Any Notice that is required to be given within a stated period of time shall be considered timely made or given if delivered or postmarked before 11:59 p.m. local time, on the last day of such period.
11.10 References. References herein to the singular shall include the plural and to the plural shall include the singular, and references to one gender shall include the others, except where the same shall not be appropriate
11.11 Titles and Captions. Section titles or captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed a part of the content of this Agreement.
