35


Company’s income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and other items arising under contracts entered into before the effective date of the issuance or transfer of Membership Interests to the extent that such income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and other items arise after such effective date.

(ii) by the unanimous written agreement of all Members; or

(iii) upon the entry of decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act.

(b) The death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of any Member or Manager or the occurrence of any event that terminates the continued membership of any Member in the Company shall not in and of itself cause a dissolution of the Company and the Company shall continue as a limited liability company.

(c) If a Member who is an individual dies or a court of competent jurisdiction adjudges him to be incompetent to manage his person or his property, the Member’s executor, administrator, guardian, conservator, or other legal representative may exercise all of the Member’s rights for the purpose of settling his estate or administering his property. If a Member is an Entity and is dissolved or terminated, the powers of that Member may be exercised by its legal representative or successor.

(a) A Series shall be terminated and its affairs wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) upon the dissolution of the Company;

 

36


(ii) At the election of any of the Members associated with such Series, and upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to all other Members;

(iii) at the time in which there are no Members associated with such Series; or

(iv) upon the entry of a decree of judicial termination of the Series under Section 18-215(1) of the Act.

(b) Other than in connection with a transfer of Membership Interests in accordance with this Agreement or pursuant to Section 16(a)(ii) above, a Member associated with a Series shall not take any voluntary action (including, without limitation, resignation) that directly causes it to cease to be a Member of the Company associated with such Series. Unless otherwise approved by Members associated with a Series owning a Majority Interest of such Series, a Member who ceases to be a Member associated with such Series (a “Resigning Member”), regardless of whether such termination was the result of a voluntary act by such Member, shall not be entitled to receive any distributions from the Company with respect to such Series in excess of those distributions to which such Member would have been entitled had such Member remained a Member associated with such Series. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, a Resigning Member shall immediately become an assignee associated with such Series. Damages for breach of this Section 16.2(b) shall be monetary damages only (and not specific performance), and such damages may be offset against distributions by the Company with respect to such Series to which the Resigning Member would otherwise be entitled.

(c) The termination and winding up of a Series shall not cause a dissolution of the Company (unless there are no remaining Series) or the termination of any other Series. The termination of a Series shall not affect the limitation on liabilities of such Series or any other Series provided by this Agreement and the Act.

(d) The LLC Managers may require that a formal legal termination of a Series be delayed for up to twenty-four months and that the capital of the Series Members remain in the Series for that time if necessary in order to maintain adequate capitalization of the Company or to satisfy capital or net worth covenants in agreements between the Company and third parties. However, the Series need not actively engage in business during any period for which it is required to remain in existence by the LLC Managers pursuant to this Section 16.2(d).

16.3 Winding Up, Liquidation and Distribution of Assets of a Series Upon Termination of Such Series.

(a) Upon termination of a Series, an accounting shall be made of the accounts of the Company with respect to such Series and of the assets, liabilities and operations associated with such Series, from the date of the last previous accounting until the date of such termination. The Series Managers associated with such Series shall immediately proceed to wind up the affairs of such Series.

 

37


(b) If a Series is terminated and its affairs are to be wound up, the Managers associated with such Series shall:

(i) Sell or otherwise liquidate all of the assets of such Series as promptly as practicable (except to the extent such Series Managers may determine to distribute any assets to the Series Members in kind);

(ii) Allocate any Net Income or Net Losses resulting from such sales to the respective Capital Accounts of the Members associated with such Series in accordance with Section 12 hereof;

(iii) Satisfy (whether by payment or reasonable provision for payment thereof) all liabilities of the Company with respect to such Series, including liabilities to Members or Managers who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, other than liabilities to Members for distributions (for purposes of determining the Capital Accounts of the Members associated with such Series, the amounts of any Reserves created in connection with the liquidation of such Series shall be deemed to be an expense of the Company with respect to such Series); and

(iv) Distribute the remaining assets of such Series to the Members associated with such Series in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for all periods.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if upon the termination and liquidation of any Series, any Member associated with such Series has a deficit balance in its Capital Account associated with such Series (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, allocations and other Capital Account adjustments for all taxable years, including the year during which such termination and liquidation occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to make any Capital Contribution, or otherwise restore the deficit balance in such Members’ Capital Account associated with such Series, and such deficit Capital Account balance shall not be considered a debt owed by such Member to the Company with respect to such Series or otherwise, to any other Member or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever.

(d) The Managers associated with a Series shall comply with all requirements of applicable law pertaining to the winding up of the affairs of the Company with respect to such Series and the final distribution of its assets.

16.4 Winding Up, Liquidation and Distribution of Assets of the Company Upon Dissolution of the Company. Upon the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 16.1, the Company shall be wound up by winding up each Series in the manner contemplated by Section 16.3. The Company shall continue as a separate legal entity until the cancellation of the Certificate of Formation in accordance with the Act.

16.5 Returns of Contributions Nonrecourse to Other Members. Except as otherwise provided by applicable laws, upon termination of a Series, each Member associated with such Series shall

 

38


look solely to the assets of such Series for the return of its Capital Contributions made with respect to such Series, and if the assets of such Series remaining after payment of or due provision for the debts and liabilities of the Company with respect to such Series are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, such Members shall have no recourse against any other Series, the Company or any other Member, except as otherwise provided by law.

17. Resignation and Admission of Series Manager.

17.1 Resignation of a Series Manager. A Manager for any Series shall be entitled to resign as a Manager for such Series 30 days after delivery of written notice to the Company and the Members admitted to such Series of the Manager’s intention to resign, or upon such earlier date as the Manager’s resignation is accepted by Members holding a Majority Interest in the Series.
