4. | Series Members. |
a. Initial Capital Contributions. The Series Members shall make the initial capital contributions (the “Initial Capital Contributions”) to the Series as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Schedule of Members”) as a condition of becoming a Series Member. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Capital Contributions” shall mean the Initial Capital Contributions, plus any additional capital contributions made by the Series Members.
b. Loans. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Series Member or Series Manager from making secured or unsecured loans to the Series by agreement approved by such Series Manager, as the case may be, in order to provide for additional working capital of the Series.
c. Units; Sale of Additional Units. Each Series Member’s interest in the Series is represented by units (“Units”) of membership interest (“Membership Interest”) each having identical rights and privileges, except as otherwise provided in this Series Agreement. An unlimited number of Units is hereby authorized. Outstanding Units shall be shown on the Schedule of Series Members kept with the Company’s registrar or transfer agent. Nothing in this Agreement prevents the Series Manager from selling additional Units in the Series in order to provide for additional working capital of the Series, including to existing Series Members or the Series Manager.
d. Distributions of Distributable Cash. The Series Members may receive Distributable Cash from the Series. “Distributable Cash” shall mean net proceeds after the payment of certain liabilities, expenses or contractual obligations and sufficient working capital and related reserves. The Series Manager intends to operate the Series Assets of the Series in such a manner as to generate Distributable Cash for distribution to the Series Members. The Series Manager shall evaluate Distributable Cash quarterly or at more frequent intervals, in the Series Manager’s sole discretion. Distributable Cash shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Series Manager. Distributions of Distributable Cash to Series Members, when made, will be allocated among them in proportion to their Membership Interests in the Series. So long as the Series holds the Series Assets, the Series Manager will manage the Series so as to pay to the Series Members, on a pro rata basis, a quarterly distribution in the amount of the applicable Minimum Distribution Percentage (as defined below). If the Yield (as defined below) is less than the Minimum Distribution Percentage with respect to any quarter for which a distribution is payable to the Series Members hereunder, then the Series Manager shall advance to the Series sufficient funds to pay the applicable Minimum Distribution Percentage. The Series Manager shall have the right to reimbursement for any sums advanced to pay the Minimum Distribution Percentage.
e. Withdrawal or Reduction of Series Members’ Contributions to Capital. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Series Member may not receive out of the Series’ property a return of any part of such Series Member’s capital contributions until all other liabilities of the Company have been paid or there remains property of the Company sufficient to pay such other liabilities. A Series Member shall not be entitled to demand or receive from the Series the liquidation of such Series Member’s Membership Interest in the Series until the Series is dissolved in accordance with the provisions hereof or other applicable provisions of the Act.
f. Restrictions on Transferability. The Series Manager may refuse a transfer by any Series Member of all or any portion of its Units in the Series if such transfer would result in (a) the assets of the Series being deemed “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA, (b) a change of U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Company and/or the Series, or (c) the Company, the Series, the Membership Interests of the Series, or the Series Manager being subject to additional regulatory requirements. Furthermore, as the Units of the Series are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), transfers of Units of the Series may only be effected pursuant to exemptions under the Securities Act and as permitted by applicable state securities laws. Any transferee (including a donee) of any Units of the Series must be a person or entity which would have been qualified to purchase a Membership Interest in the original offering of such Membership Interest. No transferee may become a substituted Series Member without the consent of the Series Manager. A transferee who does not become a substituted Series Member will own an economic interest which entitles him or her only to the share of income or return of capital to which the transferor would be entitled.
4 |
g. Voluntary Transfer; Right of First Refusal. Subject to Section 4.f, in the event any Series Member (a “Selling Member”) wishes to sell all or any portion of its Units of the Series (the “Offered Interest”), such Selling Member must first present its offer to sell and proposed price (terms and conditions) in a Notice of Sale submitted in writing to the Series Manager. The Series Manager and/or the other Series Members shall have thirty (30) days to elect to purchase the entire Offered Interest, which shall be offered to each in the order of priority described below:
i. First, the Series Manager (or its members) may elect (but shall not be required) to purchase the entire Offered Interest proposed for sale on the same terms and conditions as contained in the Notice of Sale.
ii. Second, if the Series Manager (or its members) do not purchase the entire Offered Interest, than all or part of the Series Members (the “Purchasing Members”) may (but shall not be required to) purchase the entire Offered Interest on the same terms and conditions as contained in the Notice of Sale; the Purchasing Members will be given priority to purchase the Offered Interest on a pro rata basis before allowing existing Series Members to purchase disproportionate amounts;
iii. Third, if the Series Members elect to purchase less than the entire Offered Interest, the Series Manager (or its members) may combine in any ratio to purchase the remaining Offered Interest, provided the overall purchase is of the entire Offered Interest and on the same terms and conditions as contained in the Notice of Sale; and
iv. Fourth, in the event the Series Members and/or Series Manager (or its members) fail to respond within thirty (30) days of the Selling Member’s Notice of Sale, or if the Series Manager and/or Members expressly elect not to purchase the entire Selling Member’s Interest, the Selling Member shall have the right to sell its Interest to the third party on the same terms and conditions contained in the original Notice of Sale.
v. Fifth, in the event the Selling Member receives or obtains a bona fide offer from a third party to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Interest, which offer it desires to accept, then prior to accepting such offer, the Selling Member shall give written notice (the Notice of Sale) of such offer to the Series Manager. The Notice of Sale shall set forth the material terms of such offer, including without limitation the identity of the third party, and the purchase price and terms of payment.
vi. Sixth, if the terms are different than the original Notice of Sale offered to the Series Manager, the Selling Member must comply again with the terms of this Section 4.g (giving the Series Manager and the Series Members the first right to purchase the Offered Interest on the same terms and conditions offered by the third party) with respect to the existing offer and all subsequent third party offers.
vii. If the Series Manager approves the sale of the Offered Interest to the third party, such sale must be completed within three (3) months of the Notice of Sale. If the sale to the third party is not consummated on the terms contained in the approved Notice of Sale within three (3) months following the date of the Notice of Sale, then the Selling Member must seek a renewed approval from the Series Manager, who may require that the Selling Member again comply with the first right of refusal provisions of this Section 4.g.
viii. With respect to any purchase by the Series Members or the Series Manager (or its members) as described above, the Series Manager will automatically adjust (or cause to be adjusted) the Membership Interests of the Purchasing Members and Selling Members to reflect the respective number and class of Units transferred, and the Series Manager shall update (or cause to be updated) the list of Series Members and the number of Units held by each Series Member as appropriate to reflect such transfer.
In the event that the Series Manager (or its members) or the Series Members elect to purchase the Offered Interest as provided this Section 4.g, the cost of such transaction, including without limitation, recording fees, escrow fees, if any, and other fees, (excluding attorneys’ fees which shall be the sole expense of the party who retained them) shall be borne by the Selling Member. The Selling Member shall deliver all appropriate documents of transfer for approval by the Series Manager at least three (3) days prior to the closing of such sale for its review and approval. The Series Manager may deduct its costs of sale from Distributable Cash of the Selling Member, unless other reimbursement is received.
5 |
5. | Dissolution. |
a. Authority to Dissolve Series. The Series Manager may dissolve the Series at any time once the Series Assets have been sold. The dissolution may only be ordered by the Series Manager or the Company, not by an owner of Series Membership Interests or by any Series Member of the Series.
b. Distribution upon Dissolution. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Series Assets of the Series will be distributed as follows:

vi. Thereafter, for any Yield exceeding ten percent (10%), fifty percent (50%) to the Series Manager and fifty percent (50%) to the Series Members on a pro rata basis.

6. | Redemption Plan |
a. At any time after one (1) year following the purchase of Interests, the holders of Interests may request redemptions of the Interests in accordance with this Section 6; provided, however, that the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to grant such request.
b. The redemption price will be made at a price equal to the purchase price at which the Interests in that Series were purchased, less the pro rata amount (if any) paid to the Manager as compensation for due diligence services in evaluating, investigating and discovering the Series Assets (the “Redemption Price”). All redemption requests received will be paid in accordance with the terms set forth herein on the first day of each quarter or the first business day thereafter (“Redemption Payment Date”); provided Members must make a redemption request no less than ten (10) days prior to the Redemption Payment Date. Members may increase or decrease their redemption requests at any time prior to the Redemption Payment Date and may cancel or withdraw their redemption request for any reason at any time prior to the Redemption Payment Date. A Member making a redemption request would be entitled to receive any distributions made between the date of the redemption request and the Redemption Payment Date and such distributions will not affect the Redemption Price.
