(d) Any action or actions taken by the Board pursuant to the provisions of subsections (b) or (c) of this Section shall be deemed an amendment and supplement to, and shall become a part of, this Agreement.

 

SECTION 5.3. Voting. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Designation with respect to any class or series of Interests, the holders of Interests shall have full voting rights and powers with respect to all matters relating to the operations or governance of the Company required hereunder or under this Agreement to be submitted to the vote, or which requires the consent, of the Members and each Member shall be entitled to one vote for each Unit held by such Member on all such matters.

 

 

SECTION 5.4. Status of Interests Redeemed, Transferred or Dissociated.

 

(a) All Interests redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company shall be cancelled and thereupon restored to the status of authorized but un-issued Interests.

SECTION 5.5. No Preemptive Rights. No Member shall as a result of or pursuant to this Agreement be entitled as a matter of right to subscribe for or purchase, or have any preemptive right with respect to, any part of any new or additional issuance of Interests of any class or series whatsoever, whether now or hereafter authorized and whether issued for cash or other consideration or by way of distribution.

 

SECTION 5.6. Persons Deemed Members. The Company may treat the Person in whose name any Interest shall be registered on the books and records of the Company as a member and the sole holder of such Interest for purposes of receiving distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claims to or interest in such Interest on the part of any other Person, whether or not the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof.

 

ARTICLE VI - CONTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

 

SECTION 6.1. Capital Contributions.

 

(a) Each Member shall make the contribution, if any, and shall perform any commitment described in the Admission Agreement (or Option or Warrant, as the case may be) entered into between the Company and such Member pursuant to which such Member acquired its Interest, or, in the case of the Initial Members, the contributions described in Schedule B hereof. The value of such contribution and the time for making such contribution shall be set forth in such agreement.

 

(b)    Except to the extent expressly agreed to in writing by the Company, no interest shall accrue at any time on any contribution to the capital of the Company or on any Member’s Capital Account. No Member shall have the right to Dispose of its Interest, except to the extent provided in Section 9.1, or be repaid any contribution or any part of such member’s Capital Account, except to the extent provided in Section 7.5 (relating to distributions) and Section 12.3 (relating to dissolution).

 

SECTION 6.2. Maintenance of Capital Accounts.

 

(a) The Company shall establish and maintain a separate Capital Account for each Member. Separate Capital Accounts shall be maintained with respect to the various classes and series of Interest. Each Member’s Capital Account shall initially equal the fair market value (as such fair market value is determined by the Board at the time of contribution), net of liabilities assumed by the Company, of the property contributed by such Member to the capital of the Company for such Member’s Interest.

 

 

(b) Each Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of any additional money contributed by the Member to the capital of the Company, (ii) the fair market value of any additional property (other than money) contributed by the Member to the capital of the Company, as such fair market value is determined by the Board at the time of contribution, net of liabilities assumed by the Company or subject to which the Company takes such property within the meaning of Section 752 of the Code, and (iii) the Member’s share of Profits as determined in accordance with Article VII.

 

(c) Each Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by (i) the amount of any money distributed to the Member by the Company, (ii) the fair market value of any Property distributed to the Member, as such fair market value is determined by the Board at the time of distribution, net of liabilities of the Company assumed by the Member or subject to which the Member takes such Property within the meaning of Section 752 of the Code, and (iii) the Member’s share of Losses as determined in accordance with Article VII.

 

SECTION 6.3. Adjustments to Capital Accounts upon Distribution of Assets. If the Company at any time distributes any Company Property (other than money) in-kind to any Member, the Capital Account of each Member shall be adjusted, to the extent not previously adjusted pursuant to Section 6.4, to account for that Member’s allocable share (as determined in accordance with Article VII below) of the Profit or Loss that would have been realized by the Company had it sold the assets that were distributed at their respective fair market values immediately prior to their distribution.

 

SECTION 6.4. Revaluation of Company Property. The Capital Accounts of the Members shall be increased or decreased to reflect a Revaluation of Company Property (including intangible assets such as goodwill) on the Company’s books upon the occurrence of a Revaluation Event. Upon such Revaluation: (i) the Book Value of all Company Property shall be adjusted based on the fair market value (as determined by the Board) of such Company Property (taking into account Section 7701(g) of the Code) on the Revaluation Date; (ii) the unrealized income, gain, loss, or deduction with respect to such Company Property (that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously) shall be allocated among the Members as if there were a taxable disposition of such Company Property for such fair market value on the Revaluation Date; and (iii) upon the occurrence of a Revaluation Event pursuant to either clause or (vi) of such definition, (A) the Capital Account of the new or existing Member exercising a Warrant or Option, as the case may be, shall be increased by an amount equal to the aggregate Capital Accounts of all the holders of Interests (after giving effect to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section and including the amount such Member contributes to the Company upon exercise of such Warrant or Option (the “Exercise Amount”)) times a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Conversion Interests issued upon such exercise and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Interests outstanding immediately following such exercise (the “Adjustment Amount”); (B) the Capital Accounts of each of the existing Members (including any Capital Account of the Member exercising the Warrant or Option, as the case may be, attributable to such Member’s Interest in the Company prior to exercise of such Warrant or Option) shall first be increased as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section (including an increase in respect of the Exercise Amount) and then reduced by an amount equal to the Adjustment Amount times a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Interests held by each such Member (excluding the Conversion Interests issued upon such exercise) and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Interests outstanding (excluding such Conversion Interests); and (C) notwithstanding the foregoing, no Capital Account shall be reduced below zero by reason of this clause (iii), and any reduction which otherwise would reduce such Capital Account below zero shall reduce the Capital Account of the Members in a manner reasonably determined by the Board. In the event the Book Value of any Company Property is adjusted pursuant to this Section, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction for purposes of Federal, state and local taxes with respect to such property shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for Federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c).

 

 

SECTION 6.5. Transfer of Capital Accounts. In the event of a sale, exchange or other transfer of some or all of an Interest and only to the extent such sale or exchange is permitted hereunder, the Capital Account of the Member transferring such Interest shall become the Capital Account of the Transferee to the extent it relates to the portion of the Interest transferred. Such transferee shall be deemed a Member only in accordance with Article X.

 

SECTION 6.6. Compliance with Section 704(b) of the Code. The provisions of this Article as they relate to the maintenance of Capital Accounts (other than Section 6.4(iii)) are intended, and shall be construed, and, if necessary, modified, to cause the allocations of profits, losses, income, gain and credits pursuant to Article VII to have substantial economic effect under the Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, in light of the distributions made pursuant to Article VII and the contributions to the Company made pursuant to this Article. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a deficit restoration obligation or to otherwise personally obligate any Member to make a contribution in excess of the contribution of the Member required by Section 6.1.

 

ARTICLE VII - ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

 

SECTION 7.1. Allocations of Profit and Loss. Except as may be required by Section 704(c) of the Code and the Sections of this Article and the Designation establishing any preferred class of Interests, the Company’s Profit and Loss for each Taxable year shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Members on a per Interest basis. To the extent practicable and subject to the other terms and conditions herein, during each year (i) items of income, gain, loss or deduction on the sale or other disposition of investment assets during such year shall be allocated to the Members as of the date such items are realized by the Company and (ii) all other items of income, gain, loss or deduction generated during such year shall be allocated pro-rata to the Members (including Members who transferred Interests during such year) taking into account the number of days in such year and the number of days each Member and former Member was a Member during such year.

 

SECTION 7.2. Allocation of Profit. Except as may be required by Section 704(c) of the Code and this Article and the Designation establishing any preferred class of Interests, the Company’s Profit for each Taxable Year shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Members in the following priority:

 

(a) First, to the Members to the extent of and in proportion to the excess of (1) the aggregate amount of Losses allocated to each Member pursuant to Section 7.3(b) over (2) the aggregate amount of Profits previously allocated to each Member pursuant to this subparagraph (a);

 

(b) Next, to the Members to the extent of and in proportion to the excess of (i) the aggregate amount of Net Losses allocated to each Member pursuant to Section 7.3(a) over (2) the aggregate amount of Net Profits previously allocated to the Members pursuant to this subparagraph; and

 

(c) The balance, if any, in proportion to the number of Units held by each Member.

 

 

SECTION 7.3. Allocation of Loss. Except as may be required by Section 704(c) of the Code and this Article and the Designation establishing any preferred class of Interests, the Company’s Loss for each Taxable Year shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Members in the following priority:

 

(a) First, to the Members having positive Capital Account Balances up to an amount necessary to reduce such positive Capital Account Balances to zero, pro rata, in proportion with the ratio that each Member’s positive balance in its Capital Account bears to the aggregate positive balances in all Members’ Capital Accounts; and

 

(b) The balance, if any, in proportion to the number of Units held by each Member.

 

SECTION 7.4. Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain for a Taxable year, each Member shall be allocated items of income and gain for that Taxable year equal to that Person’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain. A Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain is the amount of the total net decrease multiplied by such Person’s percentage share of the Company Minimum Gain at the end of the immediately preceding Taxable Year. A Member’s share of any decrease in Company Minimum Gain resulting from a Revaluation of Company Property shall equal the increase in such Person’s Capital Account attributable to the Revaluation to the extent the reduction in minimum gain is caused by the Revaluation. A Member shall not be subject to the Company Minimum Gain chargeback requirement of this Section to the extent the Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain is caused by a guarantee, refinancing, or other change in the debt instrument causing it to become partially or wholly a Recourse Liability or a Member Nonrecourse Liability, and the Member bears the economic risk of loss of loss (within the meaning of Section 1.752-2 of the Regulations) for the newly guaranteed, refinanced, or otherwise changed liability.

 

SECTION 7.5. Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. If during a Taxable Year there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain, any Member with a share of that Member Minimum Gain (“partner minimum gain” as determined under Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations) as of the beginning of that Taxable year shall be allocated items of income and gain for that Taxable Year (and, if necessary, for succeeding Taxable Years) equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in the Company Minimum Gain. A Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 1.704-2(g)(2) of the Regulations. A Member shall not be subject to the Member Minimum Gain chargeback requirement of this Section, however, to the extent the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain arises because the liability ceases to be Member Nonrecourse Liability due to a conversion, refinancing, or other change in the debt instrument that causes it to become partially or wholly a Company Nonrecourse Liability. The amount that would otherwise be subject to the Member Minimum Gain chargeback requirement of this Section shall be added to the Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain. In addition, rules consistent with those applicable to Company Minimum Gain shall be applied to determine the shares of Member Minimum Gain and the Member Minimum Gain chargeback requirement of this Section to the extent provided under the Regulations issued pursuant to Section 704(b) of the Code.

 

SECTION 7.6. Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that a deficit in a Member’s Capital Account is created or increased (taking into account any allocations, adjustments, or distributions described in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6) of the Regulations) in excess of such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain, plus the amounts, if any, that the Member is obligated to restore to the Company, such Member shall be allocated items of income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of income and gain for such year) in an amount and manner sufficient to offset such deficit as quickly as possible.

 

 

SECTION 7.7. Tax Distributions. Unless the holders of seventy-five per cent (75%) of the outstanding Interests shall agree otherwise, the Board shall within a reasonable time after the end of each Taxable Year, distribute to each Member on a per Interest basis, without regard to class or series, cash in an amount intended to provide each Member with funds for the payment of federal, state and local income taxes resulting from the allocations made pursuant to Article VII to such Member for such Taxable Year. Any distributions paid pursuant to this clause shall be based upon a notional tax rate reasonably determined by the Board and applied to all such profit allocations regardless of the tax status of individual Members.

 

SECTION 7.8. Discretionary Distributions. After making any tax distribution required by Section 7.7, subject to the terms of any Designation establishing a Preferred Class, the Board may distribute cash to the Members in accordance with the following order of priority:

 

(a) First, to and among the Members as necessary to cause the Members’ Capital Accounts to be proportionate to their relative Membership Interest ownership; and

 

(b) Thereafter, the balance, if any, to the Members in proportion to their Membership Interest.

 

ARTICLE VIII - TAXES

 

SECTION 8.1. Elections. The Board may, in its discretion, make or refrain from making any tax elections for the Company allowed under the Code or the tax laws of any state of other jurisdiction that it deems necessary or advisable, including, without limitation, any election under Section 754 of the Code or any successor provision.

 

SECTION 8.2. Taxes of Taxing Jurisdictions. To the extent that the laws of any Taxing Jurisdiction requires, the Company may withhold and pay over to such Taxing Jurisdiction the amount of any tax, penalty or interest required to be withheld and paid over under such laws with respect to items of income, gain and any other amounts allocable to any Member hereunder. Any such payments shall be treated as a distribution for purposes of Article VII.

 

SECTION 8.3. Tax Matters Partner. Justin Schreiber is hereby designated as the “tax matters partner” of the Company pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. The Board may, in its discretion from time to time, designate any other Member as the “Tax Matters Partner”, provided such Member agrees to such designation. The Board is specifically directed and authorized to take whatever steps it deems necessary or desirable to perfect each such designation. The Tax Matters Partner shall take such action as may be necessary to cause each other Member to become a notice partner within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code. Any Member who is designated tax matter partner may not take any action contemplated by Sections 6222 through 6232 of the Code without the consent of the Board. Expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Partner, in its capacity as such, will be borne by the Company.

 

SECTION 8.4. Method of Accounting. The records of the Company shall be maintained on the accrual method of accounting.

 

SECTION 8.5. Company Tax Returns. The Board shall cause to be prepared and timely filed all tax returns required to be filed for the Company.

 

SECTION 8.6. Tax Reports. The Board shall, as promptly as practicable after the end of each Taxable Year, but no later than September 15th, cause to be prepared and mailed to each Member of record federal income tax form K-1 and any other forms which are necessary or advisable.

 

 

SECTION 8.7. Taxation as Partnership. The Members recognize that the Company will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the Board shall operate the Company in such a manner as will preserve its treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

ARTICLE IX - DISPOSITION OF INTERESTS

 

SECTION 9.1. Dispositions.

 

(a) No Member may Dispose of all or any portion of that Member’s Interest unless such Disposition complies with subsection (b) of this Section and unless:

 

(i) Such Disposition, alone or when combined with other transactions, would not result in (a) the taxation of the Company as a corporation; (b) the termination of the Company for tax purposes; and (c) an obligation on the part of the Company to register as an investment company;

 

(ii) The Company upon request receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Board that such Disposition is subject to an effective registration under, or exempt from the registration requirements of, the applicable state and federal securities laws; and

 

(iii) The Company receives from the transferee of such Interest the information and agreements that the Board may reasonably require, including but not limited to any taxpayer identification number and any agreement that may be required by any Taxing Jurisdiction.

 

(b) In addition to the requirements set forth in subsection (a) of this Section no Member may Dispose of all or any portion of that Member’s Interest unless (i) such Disposition is approved by the Board or (ii) such Disposition is to an existing Member, the spouse of a Member, an ancestor or descendant of a Member, the spouse of an ancestor or descendant of a Member, an entity in which any such individual holds or in which such individuals hold substantially all of the equity interests, the personal representative of a Member’s estate or the legatees or beneficiaries thereof, a trust established primarily for the benefit of any such individuals, or a corporation, organization or other entity contributions to which are deductible for Federal income and estate tax purposes under Sections 170 and 2055 of the Code. In addition to the requirements set forth in subsection (a) of this Section, no Member may Dispose of all or any portion of that Member’s Interest unless such Disposition is made in accordance with Section 9.2, 9.3 or 9.7.

 

SECTION 9.2. Right of First Refusal.

 

(a) Transfer Notice. If a Member proposes to Transfer any of its Interests to one or more third parties pursuant to an understanding with such third parties (a “Transfer”), then, unless otherwise permitted by Section 9.1, such Member (the “Selling Member”) shall give the Company written notice of the Member’s intention to make the Transfer (the “Transfer Notice), which Transfer Notice shall include (i) a description of the Interests to be transferred (the “Offered Interests”), (ii) the identity of the prospective transferee(s), and (iii) the consideration and the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made. The Transfer Notice shall certify that the Selling Member has received a bona fide offer from the prospective transferee(s) and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the Transfer is obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed Transfer.

 

 

(b) Company’s Option. The Company shall have an option for a period of 90 days from receipt of the Transfer Notice to elect to purchase the Offered Interests at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice. The Company may exercise such purchase option and, thereby, purchase all (or a portion of) the Offered Units by notifying the Selling Member in writing before expiration of such 90-day period as to the number of Interests comprising such Member’s Interest it wishes to purchase. If the Company gives the selling Member notice that it desires to purchase any Interests, then payment therefore shall be in the same form as the third party offer (cash, note, etc), against delivery of the Interests to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefore, which shall be no later than 45 days after the Company’s receipt of the Transfer Notice, unless the Transfer Notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third party transferee(s). If the Company fails to purchase all of the Offered Interests by exercising the option granted in this Section within the period provided, the Offered Interests shall be subject to the options granted to the other Members pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(c) Additional Transfer Notice. Subject to the Company’s right set forth in Section 9.2(a), if a Selling Member proposes a Transfer and the Company fails to purchase all, or a portion of, the Offered Interests, the Company, on behalf of the Selling Member, shall give each other Member an “Additional Transfer Notice” which shall include all of the information and certifications required in a Transfer Notice and shall additionally identify the Units included in the Offered Interest which the Company has failed to purchase (the “Remaining Interests”) and briefly describe the Members’ rights of first refusal and, in the case of a sale subject to Section 9.3, co-sale rights with respect to the proposed Transfer.

 

(d) Members’ Options. The Members shall have an option for a period of 90 days from the delivery of the Additional Transfer Notice from the Company set forth in Section 9.2(c) to elect to purchase their respective pro rata share of the Remaining Interests at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Additional Transfer Notice. Each Member may exercise such purchase option and, thereby, purchase all or any portion of his, her or its pro rata share (with any reallotments as provided below) of the Remaining Interests, by notifying the Selling Member and the Company in writing, before expiration of such 15-day period as to the number of Interests which he, she or it wishes to purchase (including any reallotment). Each Member’s pro rata share of the Remaining Interests shall be a fraction of the Remaining Interests , of which the number of Interests (including Interests issuable upon conversion of any convertible securities outstanding) owned by such Member on the date of the Transfer Notice shall be the numerator and the total number of Interests (including Interests issuable upon conversion of any convertible securities outstanding) held by all Members on the date of the Transfer Notice shall be the denominator. Each Member shall have a right of reallotment such that, if any other Member fails to exercise the right to purchase its full pro rata share of the Remaining Interests, the other participating Member may exercise an additional right to purchase, on a pro rata basis, the Remaining Interests not previously purchased. Each Member shall be entitled to apportion Remaining Interests to be purchased among its partners and Affiliates, provided that such Member notifies the Selling Member of such allocation. If any Member gives the Selling Member notice that it desires to purchase its pro rata share of the Remaining Interests and, as the case may be, its reallotment, then payment for the Remaining Interests shall be by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Remaining Interests to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than 30 days after the Member’s receipt of the Additional Transfer Notice, unless the Transfer Notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third party transferee(s).

 

 

9.3. Prohibited Transfers.

 

(a) In the event any Selling Member should sell any Interests in contravention of the co-sale rights of the other Members under this Section 9.3 (a “Prohibited Transfer”), the Members, as the case may be, in addition to such other remedies as may be available at law, in equity or hereunder, shall have the put option provided below, and such Selling Member shall be bound by the applicable provisions of such option.

 

(b) In the event of a Prohibited Transfer, each Member shall have the right to sell to such Selling Member the type and number of the Interests equal to the number of Interests each Member would have been entitled to transfer to the third-party transferee(s) under Section 9.3 hereof had the Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in compliance with the terms hereof. Such sale shall be made on the following terms and conditions:

 

(i) The price per Interest at which the Interests are to be sold to such Selling Member shall be equal to the price per Interest paid by the third-party transferee(s) to such Selling Member in the Prohibited Transfer. Such Selling Member shall also reimburse each Member for any and all fees and expense, including legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Member’s rights under Section 9.

 

(ii) Within 45 days after the later of the dates on which the Member (A) received notice of the Prohibited Transfer or (B) otherwise become aware of the Prohibited Transfer, each Member shall, if exercising the option created hereby, deliver to such Selling Member the certificate or certificates representing Interests to be sold, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer.

 

(iii) Such Selling Member shall, upon receipt of the certificate or certificates for the Interests to be sold by a Member, pursuant to this Section 9.5, pay the purchase price therefor and the amount of reimbursable fees and expenses, as specified in Section [4.4(e)], in cash or by other means acceptable to the Member.

 

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any attempt by a Selling Member to transfer the Interests in violation of this Agreement shall be void and the Company agrees it will not effect such a transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee(s) as the holder of such Interests without the written consent of a majority in interest of the Members.

 

SECTION 9.4. Exceptions to Right of Co-Sale. The right of co-sale provided in Section 9.3 shall not apply to (i) sales of Interests by any Selling Member in a firm commitment underwritten public offering; (ii) sales of Interests by any Selling Member in connection with a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or reorganization of the Company; (iii) a pledge of Interests by any Selling Member that creates a mere security interest, provided the pledgee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; and (v) except as otherwise provided therein, the transfer of any or all of any Selling Member’s Interests in accordance with Section 9.1.

 

 

SECTION 9.5. Stop-Transfer Orders. Each Member agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop- transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Interests that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Section 9, or (ii) to treat as owner of such Interests or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Interests shall have been transferred.

 

SECTION 9.6. Notices. Any notice required to be given by any party to this Agreement shall be given pursuant to Section 14.8 hereof.

 

SECTION 9.7. Compelled Sale.

 

(a) If at any time a proposal for a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s securities to or a merger with or into a person who is not directly or indirectly an Affiliate of the Company or any Member for a specified price payable in cash, securities or any other consideration and on specified terms and conditions or any other change of control event (a “Sale Proposal”), shall have been consented to by a Majority in Interest of the Board of Managers and approved by a Majority in Interest of the Members (the “Approving Members”), then the Approving Members may require all of the Members (the “Remaining Members”) to sell all of the Interests held by them to the party or parties whose Sale Proposal was accepted as hereinabove provided, for the same per Interest consideration (equitably adjusted to take into account the exercise price of any options or warrants) and otherwise on the terms and conditions provided in this Section 9.7.

 

(b) The Company, if instructed in writing by the Approving Members, shall send written notice (the “Compelled Sale Notice”) of the exercise of the rights of the Approving Members pursuant to this Section 9.7 to each of the Remaining Members setting forth the consideration per Interest to be paid pursuant to the Sale Proposal and the other terms and conditions of the transaction. Each Remaining Member, and, if applicable, the Company, upon receipt of the Compelled Sale Notice, shall be obligated to (i) vote its Interests in favor of such Sale Proposal at any meeting of the Members of the Company called to vote on or approve such Sale Proposal, (ii) sell all of its Interests and participate in the transaction (the “Compelled Sale”) contemplated by the Sale Proposal and (iii) otherwise take all necessary action, including, without limitation, providing access to documents and records of the Company, entering into an agreement reflecting the terms of the Sale Proposal, surrendering Membership Interest certificates, giving any customary, reasonable and accurate, as applied to such Member, representations and warranties given by any other Member and executing and delivering any certificates or other documents, reasonably requested by the Approving Members and their counsel, to cause the Company and the Approving Members to consummate such Compelled Sale. Any Compelled Sale Notice may be rescinded by the approving Members by delivering written notice thereof to all of the Remaining Members.

 

(c) The obligations of the Members pursuant to Sections 9.7(a) and (b) are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

(i) in the event that the Members are required to provide any representations, warranties or indemnities in connection with the Compelled Sale (other than representations, warranties and indemnities concerning each Member’s valid ownership of its Interests , free of all liens and encumbrances (other than those arising under applicable securities laws), and each Member’s authority, power and right to enter into and consummate the Compelled Sale without violating any other agreement), then each Member shall not be liable for more than its pro rata share (based upon the consideration received) of any liability for misrepresentation, breach of warranty or indemnity and such liability shall not exceed the total purchase price received by such Member for its Interests and such liability shall be satisfied solely out of any funds escrowed for such purpose; and

 

 

(ii) upon the consummation of the Compelled Sale, all of the Members shall receive the same proportion of the aggregate consideration from such Compelled Sale as such Members would have received if such aggregate consideration had been distributed by the Company in connection with a liquidation or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company pursuant to this Operating Agreement as in effect immediately prior to such Compelled Sale (giving effect to applicable orders of priority and/or the right and option of holders of any Interests of convertible securities to convert any such securities in connection with such Compelled Sale to the extent such shares shall be so converted).

 

(d) The Members shall bear their pro rata share (based upon the amount of consideration received) of the costs of any sale of Interests pursuant to a Compelled Sale to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all Members and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the purchaser in such Compelled Sale. Costs incurred by any Member on its own behalf will not be considered costs of the Compelled Sale hereunder.

 

SECTION 9.10. Sales Free and Clear. All transfers of Interests under this Section 9 by a Selling Member shall be made free and clear of any and all liens, claims, encumbrances or other restrictions or limitation, other than this Agreement.

 

SECTION 9.11. Dispositions not in Compliance Void. Any Disposition or attempted Disposition of an Interest, or any part thereof, not in compliance with this Article shall be, and is declared to be, null and void ab initio.

 

ARTICLE X - ADMISSION OF SUBSTITUTE AND ADDITIONAL MEMBERS

 

SECTION 10.1. Admission of Substitute Members.

Subject to Article V, the Board shall have the authority to admit Additional Members and to determine the capital contributions of such Members and to issue such Interests in such classes or series and in such number of Units as the Board shall deem necessary or advisable.

SECTION 11.3. Damages. The provision set forth herein shall not effect any claim for damages the Company may have against the Dissociated Member if such Dissociation is in violation of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII – DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

SECTION 13.1. Agreement to Use Procedure. The Members have entered into this Agreement in good faith and in the belief that it is mutually advantageous to them. It is with that same spirit of cooperation that they pledge to attempt to resolve any dispute amicably without the necessity of litigation. Accordingly, they agree that if any dispute arises between them relating to this Agreement (a “Dispute”), they will first utilize the mediation procedures specified in this Article (the “Procedure”) prior to any Additional Proceedings, as such term is defined in Section 13.5 of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 13.2. Initiation of Procedure, Selection of Mediator, Time and Place of Mediation. The Member(s) or Manager(s) seeking to initiate the Procedure (the “Initiating Party,” whether one or more) shall give written notice to the other Member(s) and Managers), describing in general terms the nature of the Dispute, the Initiating Party’s claim for relief, and identifying one or more individuals with authority to settle the Dispute on such Member’s or Manager’s behalf. The Member(s) and Managers) receiving such notice (the “Responding Party,” whether one or more) shall have five (5) business days within which to designate by written notice to the Initiating Party, one or more individuals with authority to settle the Dispute on such Member’s or Manager’s behalf. The individuals so designated shall be known as the “Authorized Individuals”. The Initiating Party and the Responding Party shall collectively be referred to as the “Disputing Parties” or, individually, as the “Disputing Party.” The Authorized Individuals shall have thirty (30) business days from the date of the Responding Party’s written response to the Initiating Party to select a mutually agreeable mediator. In consultation with the mediator selected, the Authorized Individuals shall promptly designate a mutually convenient time and place for the mediation, and unless circumstances require otherwise, such time to be not later than forty-five (45) days after selection of the mediator.

 

SECTION 13.3. Conduct of Mediation. In the mediation, each Disputing Party shall be represented by an Authorized Individual and may be represented by counsel. In addition, each Disputing Party may, with permission of the mediator, bring such additional Persons as needed to respond to questions, contribute information, and participate in the negotiations. The Disputing Parties commit to participate in the proceedings in good faith with the intention of resolving the Dispute if at all possible.

 

SECTION 13.4. Termination of Procedure. The Disputing Parties agree to participate in the mediation procedure to its conclusion. The mediation shall be terminated (i) by the execution of a settlement agreement by the Disputing Parties, (ii) by a declaration of the mediator that the mediation is terminated, or (iii) by a written declaration of a Disputing Party to the effect that the mediation process is terminated at the conclusion of one full day’s mediation session. Even if the mediation is terminated without a resolution of the Dispute, the Disputing Parties agree not to commence any Additional Proceedings prior to the expiration of five (5) days following the mediation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Disputing Party may commence Additional Proceedings (as defined in Section 13.5 of this Agreement) within such five (5) day period if the Dispute could be barred by an applicable statute of limitations.

 

SECTION 13.5. Arbitration. The parties agree to participate in good faith in the mediation to its conclusion. If the Disputing Parties are not successful in resolving the Dispute through mediation, then the Disputing Parties agree that the Dispute shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“Additional Proceedings”), and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The parties further agree that the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may include an award of attorneys’ fees and costs related to the Additional Proceedings.

 

SECTION 13.6. Fees of Mediation; Disqualification. The fees and expenses of the mediator shall be shared equally by the Disputing Parties. The mediator shall be disqualified as a witness, consultant, expert or counsel for any Disputing Party with respect to the Dispute and any related matters.

 

 

SECTION 13.7. Confidentiality. The entire mediation process is confidential, and no stenographic, visual or audio record shall be made. All conduct, statements, promises, offers, views and opinions, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any Disputing Party, their agents, employees, representatives or other invitees and by the mediator are confidential and shall, in addition and where appropriate, be deemed privileged. Such conduct, statements, promises, offers, views and opinions shall not be disclosed to anyone not an agent, employee, expert, witness, or representative of any of the Members or Managers.

 

ARTICLE XIV - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

SECTION 14.1. Amendment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Designation of any class or series of Interest, this Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time only by a written instrument adopted by Members holding of record a Majority in Interest of Members.

 

SECTION 14.2. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior written oral agreements, and all contemporaneous oral agreements, relating to such matters.

 

SECTION 14.3. Indemnification.

 

(a) No Personal Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by the Law, a manager of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or the Members for monetary damages for breach of duty as a manager. Without limiting the foregoing in any respect, a manager of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or the Members for monetary damages for breach of duty as a manager, except for liability (i) for any breach of the manager’s duty of loyalty to the Company or the Members, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or (iii) for any transaction from which the manager derived an improper personal benefit. If the Law is amended to further eliminate or limit the personal liability of managers, then the liability of a manager of the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Law, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Section shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a manager of the Company existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

 

(b) Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a manager or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (whether such request is made before or after the acts taken or allegedly taken or events occurring or allegedly occurring which give rise to such proceeding), including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a manager, officer, employee or agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 14.3(c), the Company shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification pursuant to this subsection in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board. In the event a manager or officer of the Company shall serve as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of any limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in which the Company maintains an investment it shall be conclusively presumed for purposes of the indemnification provided for herein that such service has been undertaken at the request of the Company; and provided, further, unless otherwise agreed, once the Company disposes of its entire interest in any such entity, such indemnification shall cease as to all proceedings relating to such other entity arising from actions taken after such disposition. The foregoing presumption shall apply regardless of whether such manager or officer is serving such entity at the request of a third party or that his or her service with such entity was commenced prior to the effectiveness of this Section or prior to his or her becoming an officer or manager of the Company. The right to indemnification conferred herein shall be a contract right based upon an offer from the Company which shall be deemed to be accepted by such person’s service or continued service as a manager or officer of the Company. Any party entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be entitled to be reimbursed for the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a manager or officer in his or her capacity as a manager or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a manager or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such manager or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such manager or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. The Company may, by action of the Board, provide indemnification to employees or agents of the Company with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of managers and officers.

 

 

(c) Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 14.3(b) is not paid in full by the Company within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Company, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Company) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Law for the Company to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including the Board, independent legal counsel, or its Members) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including the Board, independent legal counsel, shall be a members) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

(d) Nonexclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Agreement, the This Agreement, any other agreement with the Company, vote of the Board or the Members or disinterested managers or otherwise.

 

 

(e) Insurance. The Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any manager, officer, employee or agent of the Company or another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Law or this Agreement.

 

(f) Severability. If any subsection of this Section shall be deemed to be invalid or ineffective in any proceeding, the remaining subsections hereof shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect.

 

SECTION 14.4. Successors; Counterparts. This Agreement (a) shall be binding as to the executors, administrators, estates, heirs and legal successors, or nominees or representatives, of the Members and (b) may be executed in several counterparts with the same effect as if the parties executing the several counterpart had all executed one counterpart. Except to the extent expressly provided herein, no Person other than the Members and their respective executors, administrators, estates, heirs and legal successors, or their nominees or representatives, shall obtain any rights by virtue of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 14.5. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by in construed in accordance with the laws of Puerto Rico without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

 

SECTION 14.6. Filings. Following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Board shall promptly prepare, or cause to be prepared, any documents required to be filed and recorded under the Law, and the Board shall promptly cause each such document to be filed and recorded in accordance with the Law and, to the extent required by local law, to be filed and recorded or notice thereof to be published in the appropriate place in each jurisdiction in which the Company may hereafter establish a place of business. The Board shall also promptly cause to be filed, recorded and published such statements or other instruments required by any provision of any applicable law of the United States or any state or other jurisdiction which governs the conduct of its business from time to time.

 

SECTION 14.7. Additional Documents. Each Member, upon the request of the Company, agrees to perform all further acts and execute, acknowledge and deliver any documents that may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

To the extent any Member, by word or action, represents to another person that any other Member is a partner or that the Company is a partnership, the Member making such wrongful representation shall, notwithstanding any exculpatory provision herein to the contrary, be liable to any other Member who incurs personal liability by reason of such wrongful representation.

 

SECTION 14.10. Breach; Injunctive Relief. The Members hereby agree the subject matter of this Agreement is unique, unusual and extraordinary in nature such that it has a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at Law.  Each Member, therefore, expressly agrees that the other Member, in addition to any other rights or remedies which the other Member may possess, shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or remedy a breach of this Agreement by a Member, including, without limitation, any breach arising out of a Member’s failure to perform the services described.

 

SECTION 14.10. Rights of Creditors and Third Parties. This Agreement is entered into among the Members for the exclusive benefit of the Company, its Members, and their successors and assignees. This Agreement is expressly not intended for the benefit of any creditor of the Company or any other Person.

SECTION 14.13. No Waiver. The failure or delay on the part of any Member, the Company or the Board in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, will not operate as a waiver thereof. The express waiver by any such Person of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by any other Person shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by said Person. No waiver will be effective unless and until it is in written form and signed by the waiving party.
