The transferee shall only be entitled to receive the share of the profits or other compensation and the return of contributions, if any, to which that Member would otherwise be entitled.

 

5.3       First Right of Refusal. Upon the proposed transfer of Units the remaining Members shall have the option to purchase the interest of the transferring Member in the Company or the interest intended to be transferred by the Member. All such purchases shall be on terms and conditions as follows:

 

(a)                If the selling Member and the other Members are not able to agree upon the value of the applicable interest, then such interest will be appraised by an Appraiser selected and paid for by the selling Member. The other Member(s), within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such appraisal, may object to the appraisal. In such an event, the interest shall be appraised by two (2) new Appraisers, one (1) of whom shall be selected and paid for by the Member wishing to sell or assign his, her or its interest, and one (1) by the remaining Members of the Company.

 

(b)               The appointed Appraisers will appraise the Company interest and affix thereto a dollar value. In the event that the Appraisers are unable to arrive at the same appraisal figure, after attempting to do so in good faith, then in that event the average between the two (2) appraisal figures shall be used to arrive at the appraisal value upon which the purchase price is fixed.

(c)                Each remaining Member shall have the right to subscribe for such interest in the proportion that his holdings of interest bear to the then total interests owned by all of the remaining Members. In the event any of the remaining Members fail to subscribe for all of their proportionate share of such interest, then the remaining Members who purchased their full share shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, have the right to purchase proportionately such interest until each remaining Member has the opportunity to purchase all of such interest of the selling Member.

(d)               The appraised sum so determined shall be paid to the selling Member over a period of time and in such amounts as determined by the Members by mutual agreement. If no agreement can be reached, then the sale shall be for a term of five (5) years at an interest rate equal to the applicable federal rate in effect at the date of sale.

(e)                If the other Members do not elect, within thirty (30) days following the date on which the appraised sum for the interest is determined, to purchase the interest that is proposed to be transferred, then the transferring Member may transfer such interest at any time during the one hundred and twenty (120) day period following the date on which the appraised sum for the interest is determined.

(f)                No such transfer by a selling Member shall of itself effect dissolution of this Company. Any such transfer of an interest shall be reflected by a properly amended version of this Agreement.

(g)               No person who obtains the interest of any Member in the Company shall have the right to become a substitute Member without the unanimous written consent of all of the Members.

5.4        Prohibition on Hypothecation by Members. No Member shall mortgage or grant a security interest in his, her, or its interest in the Company.

Unless required to the contrary by regulations, a Member’s capital account shall be his, her, or its original capital contribution, increased by his, her, or its share of (a) income, (b) gain, and (c) tax-exempt income of the Company, and reduced by his or her share of (d) distributions of money or property, (e) deductions, (f) losses, and (g) other Company expenditures.

(c)       The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under § 18-802 of the Act.

12.2       Effectiveness of Dissolution. Dissolution of the Company will be effective on the day on which the event described in Section 12.1 occurs, but the Company will not terminate until the winding up of the Company has been completed, the assets of the Company have been distributed as provided in Section 12.3 and the Certificate has been cancelled as provided in Section 12.4.

 

12.3       Liquidation. If the Company is dissolved pursuant to Section 12.1, the Company will be liquidated and its business and affairs wound up in accordance with the Act and the following provisions:

(a)       Liquidator. The Manager will act as liquidator to wind up the Company (in such capacity, the “Liquidator”). The Liquidator will have full power and authority to sell, assign, and encumber any or all of the Company’s assets and to wind up and liquidate the affairs of the Company in an orderly and business-like manner.

(b)       Accounting. As promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the Liquidator will cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized and reputable firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable.

(c)       Distribution of Proceeds. The Liquidator will liquidate the assets of the Company and distribute the proceeds of such liquidation in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable law:

(i)                 First, to the payment of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities to its creditors (including Members, if applicable) and the reasonable expenses of liquidation (including sales commissions incident to any sales of assets of the Company);

(ii)               Second, to the establishment of and additions to reserves that are determined by the Liquidator in its reasonable discretion to be reasonably necessary for any contingent unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company; and

(iii)             Third, to the Members in the same manner as distributions are made under Section 10.

(d)       Discretion of Liquidator. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.3(c) that require the liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 12.3(c), if upon dissolution of the Company the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or could cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator may defer the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Company liabilities and reserves, and may, in its reasonable discretion, distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3(c), undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distribution in kind will be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the

 

Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operating of such properties at such time. For purposes of any such distribution, any property to be distributed will be valued at its fair market value.

12.4       Cancellation of Certificate. Upon completion of the distribution of the assets of the Company as provided in Section 12.3(c), the Company will be terminated and the Liquidator will cause the cancellation of the Certificate in the State of Delaware and of all qualifications and registrations of the Company as a foreign limited liability company in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware and will take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.

12.5       Survival of Rights, Duties and Obligations. Dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination of the Company for any reason will not release any party from any loss which at the time of such dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination already had accrued to any other party or which thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to such dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing will replace, diminish or otherwise adversely affect any Member’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 13.3.

12.6       Recourse for Claims. Each Member will look solely to the assets of the Company for all distributions with respect to the Company and such Member’s capital account and will have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against the Manager, the Liquidator or any other Member.
