j. Article 11 is hereby amended to add in its entirety the following Section 11.6:
2
11.6 LLC Interest Certificates; Article 8 Opt-In. (a) The limited liability company interests of the Company shall be designated as “Units,” and the Company shall issue certificates in the name of the Member or such other holders of limited liability company interests (“LLC Interest Certificates”). Each such LLC Interest Certificate shall be denominated in terms of the number of Units evidenced by such LLC Interest Certificate and shall be signed by a member of the Board of Directors on behalf of the Company. Each LLC Interest Certificate shall bear, in effect, the following legend: “Each limited liability company interest in the Company represented by this certificate evidences an interest in the Company and shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware and (ii) Article 8 of 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 (and each limited liability company interest in the Company shall be treated as such a “security” for all purposes, including, without limitation perfection of the security interest therein under Article 8 of each applicable Uniform Commercial Code as the Company has “opted-in” to such provisions).” This provision shall not be amended, and no such purported amendment to this provision shall be effective until all outstanding certificates have been surrendered for cancellation.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no consent of the sole Member shall be required to permit (i) the sole Member to pledge its Units or Interest as security for a loan to such sole Member or any affiliate of such sole Member, or (ii) a pledgee of the sole Member’s membership interest in the Company to transfer such membership interest in connection with such pledgee’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect thereto, or to permit such pledgee or its assignee to be substituted for the sole Member under this Agreement in connection with such pledgee’s exercise of such rights and remedies.
(c) Each Unit shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware, and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law and not inconsistent with Article 8 of the Delaware UCC (defined below) or Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction. The Company shall maintain books for the purpose of registering the transfer of Units. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any non-waivable provision of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware (6 Del. C. § 8-101, et seq.) (the “UCC”), such provision of Article 8 of the UCC shall control.
(d) All of the Member’s Units, in the aggregate, represent the Member’s entire limited liability company interest in the Company. The Member hereby agrees that its Units and interest in the Company shall for all purposes be personal property. A Member has no interest in specific property of the Company.
Section 2. Effect of Amendment. Except as set forth in Section 1 of this Amendment, the provisions of the Agreement shall not be amended or altered by this Amendment and shall continue with full force and effect.
Section 3. Miscellaneous. This Amendment shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware.
