Notice of a meeting of the Board need not be given to any manager who signs a waiver of notice before, during, or after the meeting. Attendance of a manager at a meeting constitutes a waiver of notice of that meeting and waiver of all objections to the time and place of the meeting, and the manner in which it was called or convened, except when the manager attends the meeting solely to object, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of that meeting.
A majority of the managers present, whether or not a quorum exists, may adjourn any meeting of the Board to another time and place.

Section 7.16 Method of Meeting.

Section 7.17 Action Without a Meeting. Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the managers, or any action that may be taken at a meeting of the managers or a committee of the managers, may be taken without a meeting if a written consent, setting forth the action to be taken and signed by all the managers or committee members, is filed in the minutes of the proceedings of the Board or the committee before the action is taken. All managers need not sign the same document. A unanimous, written consent has the same effect as a unanimous vote.
Section 7.18 Manager Conflicts of Interest. No contract or other transaction between the Company and one or more of its managers or any other limited liability company, corporation, firm, association or entity in which one or more of the managers are managers or officers or are financially interested, shall be either void or voidable because of that relationship or interest or because the manager or managers are present at the meeting of the Board or a committee that authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction or because the vote(s) of a manager(s) are counted for that purpose, if:
(a) the existence of the relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the Board or committee that authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction by a vote or consent sufficient for the purpose, without counting the votes and consents of the interest managers; or
7
(b) the existence of the relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the Member and it authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction by a vote or written consent; or
(c) The contract or transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company at the time it is authorized by the Board, a committee, or the Member.
