If the day fixed for the annual meeting shall be a legal holiday, such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day.

The Member(s) may by resolution prescribe the time and place for the holding of regular meetings and may provide that the adoption of such resolution shall constitute notice of such regular meetings.

Special meetings of the Member(s), for any purpose or purposes, may be called by any Member.

Written or electronic notice stating the place, day, and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than three (3) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, to each Member(s) of record entitled to vote at such meeting. When all the Member(s) of the Company are present at any meeting, or if those not present sign a written waiver of notice of such meeting, or subsequently ratify all the proceedings thereof, the transactions of such meeting shall be valid as if a meeting had been formally called and notice had been given.

At any meeting of the Member(s), the presence of Member(s) holding a majority of the Members’ Percentage Interests, as determined from the books of the Company, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the conduct of the general business of the Company. However, if any particular action by the Company shall require the vote or consent of some other number or percentage of Member(s) pursuant to this Agreement, a quorum for the purpose of taking such action shall require such other number or percentage of Member(s).

A Member may assign all or any part of such Member’s interest in the allocations and distributions of the Company to any of the following (collectively the “permitted assignees”): any person, corporation, partnership or other entity as to which the Company has given consent to the assignment of such interest in the allocations and distributions of the Company by the affirmative vote or consent of Member(s) holding a majority of the Members’ Percentage Interests.

An assignment, pledge, hypothecation, transfer, or other disposition of all or any part of the interest of a Member in the Company or other person holding any interest in the Company in violation of the provisions hereof shall be null and void for all purposes.

No assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any part of the interest of any Member permitted under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Company unless and until a duly executed and acknowledged counterpart of such assignment or instrument of transfer, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, has been delivered to the Company.

No assignment or other disposition of any interest of any Member may be made if such assignment or disposition, alone or when combined with other transactions, would result in the termination of the Company within the meaning of Section 708 of the Internal Revenue Code or under any other relevant section of the Code or any successor statute. No assignment or other disposition of any interest of any Member may be made without an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such assignment or disposition is subject to an effective registration under, or exempt from the registration requirements of, the applicable Federal and State securities laws. No interest in the Company may be assigned or given to any person below the age of 21 years or to a person who has been adjudged to be insane or incompetent.

Anything herein contained to the contrary, the Company shall be entitled to treat the record holder of the interest of a Member as the absolute owner thereof and shall incur no liability by reason of distributions made in good faith to such record holder, unless and until there has been delivered to the Company the assignment or other instrument of transfer and such other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Company to establish to the satisfaction of the Company that interest has been assigned or transferred in accordance with this Agreement.

a.)   Ownership of Company Property (Applies ONLY if Multi-Member): The Company's assets shall be deemed owned by the Company as an entity, and the Member shall have no ownership interest in such assets or any portion thereof. Title to any or all such Company assets may be held in the name of the Company, one or more nominees or in "street name," as the Member may determine.

Except as limited by the Statutes, the Member may engage in other business ventures of any nature, including, without limitation by specification, the ownership of another business similar to that operated by the Company. The Company shall not have any right or interest in any such independent ventures or to the income and profits derived therefrom.

a.)   Right of First Refusal (Applies ONLY if Multi-Member): If a Member desires to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of their interest in the Company, such Member (the "Selling Member") shall first offer to sell and convey such interest to the other Member(s) before selling, transferring, or otherwise disposing of such interest to any other person, corporation or other entity. Such offer shall be in writing, shall be given to every other Member, and shall set forth the interest to be sold, the purchase price to be paid, the date on which the closing is to take place (which date shall be not less than thirty nor more than sixty (60) days after the delivery of the offer), the location at which the closing is to take place, and all other material terms and conditions of the sale, transfer or other disposition.

Within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of said offer, the other Member(s) shall deliver to the Selling Member a written notice either accepting or rejecting the offer. Failure to deliver said notice within said fifteen (15) days conclusively shall be deemed a rejection of the offer. Any or all of the other Member(s) may elect to accept the offer, and if more than one of the other Member(s) elects to accept the offer, the interest being sold and the purchase price, therefore, shall be allocated among the Member(s) so accepting the offer in proportion to their Members' Percentage Interests, unless they otherwise agree in writing.

If any or all of the other Member(s) elect to accept the offer, then the closing of title shall be held in accordance with the offer, and the Selling Member shall deliver to the other Member(s) who have accepted the offer an assignment of the interest being sold by the Selling Member(s) and said other Member(s) shall pay the purchase price prescribed in the offer.

If no other Member(s) accepts the offer, or if the Member(s) who have accepted such offer default in their obligations to purchase the interest, then the Selling Member(s) within one-hundred and twenty (120) days after the delivery of the offer may sell such interest to any other person or entity at a purchase price which is not less than the purchase price prescribed in the offer and upon the terms and conditions which are substantially the same as the terms and conditions set forth in the offer, provided all other applicable requirements of this Agreement are complied with. An assignment of such interest to a person or entity who is not a Member(s) of the Company shall only entitle such person or entity to the allocations and distributions to which the assigned interest is entitled, unless such person or entity applies for admission to the Company and is admitted to the Company as a Member(s) in accordance with this Agreement.

If the Selling Member(s) does not sell such interest within said one-hundred and twenty (120) days, then the Selling Member(s) may not thereafter sell such interest without again offering such interest to the other Member(s) in accordance with this Agreement.

a.)   Admission of New Members (Applies ONLY if Multi-Member): The Company may admit new Member(s) (or transferees of any interests of existing Member(s)) into the Company by the unanimous vote or consent of the Member(s).

As a condition to the admission of a new Member(s), such Member(s) shall execute and acknowledge such instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such Member(s) to be bound by all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Agreement, as the same may have been amended. Such new Member(s) shall pay all reasonable expenses in connection with such admission, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the cost of the preparation, filing or publication of any amendment to this Agreement or the Articles of Organization, which the Company may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such admission.

No new Member(s) shall be entitled to any retroactive allocation of income, losses, or expense deductions of the Company. The Company may make pro-rata allocations of income, losses, or expense deductions to a new Member(s) for that portion of the tax year in which the Member(s) was admitted in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder.

In no event shall a new Member(s) be admitted to the Company if such admission would be in violation of applicable Federal or State securities laws or would adversely affect the treatment of the Company as a partnership for income tax purposes.

b.)   Withdrawal Events (Applies ONLY if Multi-Member): In the event of the death, retirement, withdrawal, expulsion, or dissolution of a Member(s), or an event of bankruptcy or insolvency, as hereinafter defined, with respect to a Member(s), or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of a Member(s) in the Company pursuant to the Statutes (each of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as a “Withdrawal Event”), the Company shall terminate sixty (60) days after notice to the Member(s) of such withdrawal Event unless the business of the Company is continued as hereinafter provided.

Notwithstanding a Withdrawal Event with respect to a Member(s), the Company shall not terminate, irrespective of applicable law, if within the aforesaid sixty-day period the remaining Member(s), by the unanimous vote or consent of the Member(s) (other than the Member(s) who caused the Withdrawal Event), shall elect to continue the business of the Company.

In the event of a Withdrawal Event with respect to a Member(s), any successor in interest to such Member(s) (including without limitation any executor, administrator, heir, committee, guardian, or other representative or successor) shall not become entitled to any rights or interests of such Member(s) in the Company, other than the allocations and distributions to which such Member(s) is entitled, unless such successor in interest is admitted as a Member(s) in accordance with this Agreement.

The Company, its receivers, trustees, successors, assignees and/or transferees shall indemnify, defend and hold the Member(s) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, that are incurred by the Member(s) (including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in settlement of any action, suit, demand, investigation, claim or proceeding ("Claim"), as fines or penalties) and from and against all legal or other such costs as well as the expenses of investigating or defending against any Claim or threatened or anticipated Claim arising out of, connected with or relating to this Agreement, the Company or its business affairs in any way; provided, that the conduct of the Member(s) which gave rise to the action against the Member(s) is indemnifiable under the standards set forth herein.

Upon application, the Member(s) shall be entitled to receive advances to cover the costs of defending or settling any Claim or any threatened or anticipated Claim against the Member(s) that may be subject to indemnification hereunder upon receipt by the Company of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Member(s) to repay such advances to the Company, without interest, if the Member(s) is Judicially Determined not to be entitled to indemnification as set forth herein.

The termination of any Claim or threatened Claim against the Member(s) by judgment, order, settlement or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, cause the Member(s) not to be entitled to indemnification as provided herein unless and until Judicially Determined to not be so entitled.
