5. A new Article 11 is hereby added to the Agreement as follows:
“ARTICLE 11
SERIES
11.1 Establishment of Series. Pursuant to Section 18-215 of the Act and this Agreement, the Company is authorized and empowered to establish one or more series of limited liability company interests, with separate and distinct rights, powers, duties, obligations, businesses and objectives (each, a “Series”) and appoint a manager for each Series (each, a “Series Manager”). The number of Series admitted, and the rights and obligations of the Members of any Series (each, a “Series Member”), shall be governed by this Agreement and the limited liability company operating agreement of that Series and any associated schedules thereto (collectively, the “Series Operating Agreement”), each of which may be in the form of the agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D or such other form as the Series Manager may determine, provided it is consistent with the terms of this Agreement. A Person may be admitted to the Company as a Member associated with a Series by the issuance of Series Interests for such consideration as the Series Manager associated with such Series shall determine. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Series Operating Agreement, the Series Operating Agreement shall control.
| 2 |
11.2 Applicability of Series Article. This Article 11 governs all Series of the Company established pursuant to Section 18-215(a) of the Act, whether or not such Series complies with Section 18-215(b) or is a registered series under Section 18-218. Certain provisions herein may apply only to Series that maintain separate assets and liabilities under the Act, in whole or in part. To the extent a Series is not a protected series, such provisions shall not apply and the Series shall be governed primarily by its Series Operating Agreement.
11.3 Membership in Multiple Series; Admission Standards. A Series Member may be a member of one or more Series. Any Member holding more than one Series Interest shall have separate rights under this Agreement with respect to each Series Interest held by such Member. No Person shall be accepted as a Series Member associated with a particular Series unless the Series Manager of such Series, after a reasonable review of the proposed new Series Member, reasonably believes that such new Series Member of such Series has the ability, experience and financial resources appropriate for participation as a Series Member, and that admission of the new Series Member would not violate any law applicable to the Company or any of its Series and would not invalidate any contract or regulatory approval which affects the Company or any of its Series.
11.4 Recordkeeping and Asset Allocation by Series Type. The Company shall maintain separate and distinct records for each Series that is intended to qualify as a protected series under Section 18-215(b) of the Act, and shall separately hold and account for the assets of each such Series. For Series that are not protected series, the Company may maintain internal administrative tracking of such Series for recordkeeping and investor communications, but such Series shall not be treated as having separate assets or liabilities under the Act. Such administrative tracking may include the assignment of rights or obligations through schedules or contractual designations, but shall not be treated as having separate assets or liabilities under the Act, and shall not benefit from any liability shield provided by Section 18-215(b) of the Act.
11.5 Maintenance of Separateness. Each Series Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the limited liability company existence of the Company and each Series therein separate and apart from one another and from the existence of each Series Member, any Affiliate of each Series Member and any Affiliate of the Series Manager’s Series, including maintaining the Series’ books and records on a current basis separate from that of any Affiliate of the Series or any other Person. In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the foregoing, each Series shall (a) maintain or cause to be maintained by an agent under the Series’ control physical possession of all its books and records, (b) account for and manage all of its liabilities separately from those of any other Person, including payment by it of any taxes or other governmental charges levied against the Series and (c) identify or cause to be identified separately all its assets from those of any other Person. The obligations in this Section 11.5 shall apply only to Series intended to qualify as a protected series or registered series under the Act.
| 3 |
11.6. Member Cooperation and Legal Compliance. Each Series Member shall promptly execute and deliver such documents and perform such acts consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the relevant Series Operating Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to comply with the requirements of law for the formation, qualification and continuation of existence of a series of a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware and any other jurisdiction in which the Company or any Series conducts business.
11.7 Title to Series Assets. To the extent a Series is structured to qualify as a protected series under Section 18-215(b) of the Act or a registered series under Section 18-218 of the Act, all assets of such Series shall be deemed to be owned exclusively by the Series as an entity, and no Series Member shall have any direct ownership interest in such assets. With respect to any Series that is not a protected series or a registered series, the Company may internally allocate or track assets for administrative purposes, but legal title shall remain with the Company.
11.8 Series Members; Series Interests. The name, address and Series Interest of each Series Member shall be maintained by the Company’s transfer agent, Colonial Stock Transfer Company, Inc. Except as otherwise set forth in the relevant Series Operating Agreement, the rights, obligations and restrictions applicable to the Series Members and the Series Interests shall conform to those of the Members holding Common Interests (excluding the Skybound Members) and the Common Interests, respectively, as set forth in this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Series Operating Agreement or schedule of Series rights.
11.9 Management of the Series.
11.9.1 The business and affairs of each Series shall be controlled, directed and managed by a Series Manager. Except when the approval of the Series Members is expressly required by the Act, this Agreement or the relevant Series Operating Agreement, the Series Manager shall have the full, exclusive and complete authority, power and discretion to operate, manage and control the affairs, business and property of the relevant Series, to make all decisions related to that Series’ affairs, business and property and to perform any and all other acts or activities customary or incident to the management of that Series’ affairs, business and property, including, without limitation, (a) signing agreements and otherwise binding the Series in its own name, (b) effecting distributions to Series Members, and (c) taking any other action that may be necessary or appropriate for the continuation of the relevant Series’ valid existence and authority to do business as a Series of a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware and of each other jurisdiction in which such authority to do business is, in the judgment of the Series Manager, necessary or advisable.
11.9.2 Each Series Manager, as applicable, may agree to (a) delegate any matters or actions that it is authorized to perform under this Agreement or the relevant Series Operating Agreement to employees or agents of the Series Manager or third parties and (b) appoint any Persons, with such titles as the Series Manager may select, to act on behalf of the Series, with such power and authority as the Series Manager may delegate from time to time to such Persons.
| 4 |
11.9.3 The Series Manager or its representative shall be the signatory on any bank accounts of the relevant Series.
11.9.4 Third parties dealing with a Series may rely conclusively upon any certificate of the relevant Series Manager, as applicable, to the effect that it is acting on behalf of the Series. The signature of the relevant Series Manager shall be sufficient to bind the Series, as applicable in every manner to any agreement or on any document, without any requirement for further corporate (or other similar) action.
11.9.5 Except as otherwise set forth in the relevant Series Operating Agreement, the rights, duties and other obligations of each Series Manager shall conform to those of the Managers as set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 5.4.
11.10 Termination of a Series.
11.10.1 A Series shall be terminated upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
11.10.1.1 upon the dissolution of the Company;
11.10.1.2 at the election of the Series Manager associated with such Series, and upon forty-five (45) calendar days’ prior written notice to all Series Members; or
11.10.1.3 upon the entry of a decree of judicial termination of the Series under Section 18-215(b)(11) of the Act.
11.10.2 The termination and winding up of a Series shall not cause a dissolution of the Company or the termination of any other Series.
11.10.3 The Series Manager may require that a formal legal termination of a Series be delayed for up to twenty-four (24) months. During such twenty-four (24) months, the capital of the Series Members of that Series may remain in that Series for such time if necessary, in the sole discretion of the Series Manager, in order to maintain adequate capitalization of the Company, to satisfy capital or net worth covenants in agreements between the Company and third parties, or as otherwise reasonably determined by the Series Manager. A Series need not actively engage in business during any period for which it is required to remain in existence by the Series Manager pursuant to this Section 11.10.3.
11.11 Liquidation of a Series. Except as otherwise set forth in the relevant Series Operating Agreement, subject to Section 11.10.3, upon termination of a Series, the affairs of the Series shall be wound up and distributions of liquidation proceeds shall be made in accordance with Article 8 of this Agreement.”
6. Except as expressly set forth in this Eighth Amendment, the Agreement remains in full force and effect with no further modifications. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Agreement and the terms of this Eighth Amendment, the terms of this Eighth Amendment shall control.
7. This Eighth Amendment shall form a part of the Agreement for all purposes, and each party to the Agreement shall be bound hereby. From and after the execution of this Eighth Amendment by the Requisite Holders, any reference to the Agreement shall be deemed a reference to the Agreement and this Eighth Amendment.
8. This Eighth Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by a party hereto of an electronic transmission of this Eighth Amendment executed by such party shall constitute delivery by such party of an original hereof.
