RECITALS
A. The Members have previously entered into the respective Agreements.
B. The Members now desire to amend the respective Agreements, in accordance with the terms thereof, to provide for the equity interests in each Company to be certificated.
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, covenants and agreements, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreements, the parties hereto do hereby promise, covenant and agree as follows:
1. Recitals and Capitalized Terms. The Recitals set forth hereinabove are hereby incorporated for reference as though fully rewritten herein. Unless otherwise set forth herein, all capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as set forth in the respective Agreements. All references to “Agreement” in each of the Agreements shall be deemed to refer to such Agreement as modified by this Amendment.
2. Certificate of Limited Liability Company Interests. Each of the Agreements shall be amended by inserting a new article in the appropriate numerical order at the end of each Agreement as follows:
“ARTICLE [ ]
RIGHTS OF SECURED PARTY
“Section [ ] Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any interests in the Company (the “Membership Interests”) have been pledged or are subject to the granting of a security interest or other encumbrance therein (a “Pledge”) by the holder thereof (the beneficiary of a Pledge being referred to herein as a “Secured Party”), (a) all rights and remedies of such Secured Party (including but not limited to voting rights) with respect to the Membership Interests contained in any document, agreement or instrument giving effect to or governing such Pledge and the rights and remedies associated therewith (a “Security Document”) shall be given effect by the Company and the Members, (b) the Company and the Members shall take all such action and shall execute and deliver all such agreements, documents or instruments
2
as may be required by the terms and conditions of the Security Document and (c) if the Secured Party becomes the holder of such Membership Interests, then, at such time, the Secured Party shall have all of the rights associated with such Membership Interests under this Agreement and applicable law.
“Section [ ] Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all restrictions on transfer and assignability of any Membership Interests shall be inapplicable, and of no force and effect, as to any transfer of any Membership Interest to a Secured Party in connection with any exercise of rights or remedies by the Secured Party in accordance with the Security Document or as may be permitted by applicable law. Contemporaneously with any transfer of any Member’s Membership Interests to the Secured Party, the transferor Member shall cease to be a member of the Company.
“Section [ ] All of the Membership Interests shall be evidenced by a certificate showing the name of the Member and the percentage of Membership Interests held by that Member. Each Membership Interest certificate shall be signed by an officer of the Company or of its manager or managing member, as the case may be, and such certificates may be signed in counterparts.
“Section [ ] Each of the Membership Interest certificates representing the Members’ interest in the Company shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of (A) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the state of organization of the Company and (B) the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995. Each Member hereby agrees that its interest in the Company and in its Membership Interests for all purposes shall be personal property. The Members have no interest in specific Company property.
“Section [ ] At all times prior to the termination of any Pledge of the Membership Interests in accordance with the Security Document (the date of such termination, the “Termination Date”), neither the Members nor [Managers/Directors] will, without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, (i) amend this Agreement to provide that any Membership Interests (x) shall not be evidenced by a certificate or (y) shall not be securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code or (ii) otherwise “opt out” of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
“Section [ ] The provisions of this Article [ ] shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and any future Members [or Managers/Directors] and their respective successors and assigns.
“Section [ ] At all times prior the Termination Date, none of the provisions of this Article [ ] or any other provision of this Agreement may be amended in any way which alters, limits, restricts or adversely affects a Secured Party’s ability to exercise its rights with respect to the Membership Interests, without the prior written consent of such Secured Party.”
3. Miscellaneous. All other terms and provisions of each Agreement which are not expressly amended hereby are hereby ratified, affirmed and approved. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instruments. Facsimile signatures shall be valid as if manually signed.
