 (1) Any sale, exchange, assignment, conveyance, alienation or other transfer of all or any portion of any Member’s interest in the Company.
  
 (2) Any mortgage, transfer in trust, pledge, collateral assignment, grant of security interest, encumbrance of any Member’s interest in the Company; and any anticipation or borrowing against any Member’s interest in the Company.
  
 (3) Any attachment, execution, garnishment, lien, levy, seizure, forfeiture, apprehension, confiscation or similar procedure by which all or any portion of a Member’s interest in the Company is taken or held to satisfy or secure the satisfaction of any judgment, debt, liability or other obligation of any beneficiary.
  
 (4) Any general assignment for the benefit of creditors by or on behalf of any Member which includes all or any portion of such Member’s interest in the Company.
  
 (5) Any filing by or against any Member of a petition to have such Member adjudged bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law pertaining to bankruptcy or insolvency as a consequence of which all or any portion of such Member’s interest in the Company becomes subject to the claims of creditors.
  
 (6) Any appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of any portion of a Member’s assets which include all or any portion of such Member’s interest in the Company.
   	 
	 
	 
 
	 

  
 (7) Any other event by which, or as a result of which, any person other than a Member may obtain any legal or equitable right, direct or indirect, with respect to all or any portion of any Member’s interest in the Company.
  
 (b) No assignment any portion of a Member’s interest in the Company shall necessarily result in a dissolution of the Company.
  
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in or inferable from any provision of this Agreement and notwithstanding any right of assignment otherwise afforded by law, no interest in the Company may be assigned in any assignment other than a Permitted Assignment, unless the remaining Member approves of, and consent to, such assignment, in writing, which approval may be arbitrarily given or withheld for any reason or no reason, in the sole, absolute and unrestricted discretion of such remaining Member, and all of the conditions for the assignee to become a Substitute Member pursuant to Section 5.02 of this Agreement have been fully satisfied. Any action which would purport to be an assignment without such approval or without satisfying such conditions shall be absolutely void ab initio and of no force or effect whatsoever; the Company shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any interest in and of the Company as the holder in fact of such interest, for all purposes and shall not be required to recognize any equitable or other interest therein claimed by any other person, regardless of whether or not the Company has any actual or constructive notice of such claim or interest.
  
 (d) Each Member shall have the right, however, to make an assignment which, when consummated, will constitute a Permitted Assignment but no Permitted Assignment of any portion of any Member’s interest in the Company shall necessarily entitle the Member’s assignee to vote or otherwise participate in the management of the business and affairs of the Company or to obtain any information or account of Company transactions or to inspect Company books. Unless an assignee in a Permitted Assignment becomes a Substitute Member as provided in Section 5.02, such assignment merely entitles the assignee to be allocated and/or receive, to the extent assigned, only the share of Profits, Losses, and distributions to which the assigning Member would otherwise be entitled under the terms of this Agreement and the assigning Member shall be and remain liable and responsible for all of such Member’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Nevertheless, any such assignee shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement with the same effect as if the assignee were a party to this Agreement.
  
 (e) Except to the extent otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement regarding the assignment of an interest with respect to which the assignee has become a Substitute Member, a Member which has purported to assign any of such Member’s interest in the Company in one or more assignments, any of which does not constitute a Permitted Assignment, shall automatically forfeit all rights to vote or otherwise participate in the management of the business and affairs of the Company to obtain any information or account of Company transactions, and to inspect Company books, unless the remaining Member consents, in writing. Absent such consent, the assigning Member shall be deemed to have no interest in the Company for purposes (but only for purposes) of performing acts, executing documents, casting votes, exercising discretion or making designations. Instead, the voting and management participation rights which would otherwise be held by the assigning Member shall be deemed, for such purposes, to be held by no Member, and the rights that would otherwise be ascribed to the assigning Member for such purposes shall belong to the remaining Member, exclusively.
   	 
	 
	 
 
	 

  
 Section 5.02. Substitute Members. No assignee of an interest in the Company shall have any right to become a Substitute Member with respect to such assigned interest unless (i) 75% of the Managers consent, in writing, to such substitution.
  
 Section 5.03. Limitations on Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in or inferable from any provision of this Agreement, no interest in the Company may be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, in an assignment that would or might (i) violate State law (ii) adversely affect the classification of the Company for federal income tax purposes; (iii) result in a termination of the Company or alter the Company’s fiscal year for federal income tax purposes; or (iv) constitute an assignment not permitted by applicable state or federal securities laws. Any action which would purport to be such an assignment shall be absolutely null, void ab initio and of no force or effect whatsoever.
  
 Section 5.04. Timing. Unless otherwise agreed by the assigning Member, the assignee and the Managers, any assignment of an interest in the Company or substitution of a Member made in conformance with this Article shall be effective as of the first day of the calendar month succeeding the month in which the execution and filing of instruments, agreements, certificates, amendments and other documents and the performance of other acts by the assigning Member, the assignee and the Managers are completed and all required approvals of any regulating governmental authorities, if any, have been obtained.

Therefore, each Member hereby covenants and agrees that such Member shall not (i) withdraw, retire or resign from the Company or attempt to do so, or (ii) exercise any right or power under any provision of applicable law or otherwise which could possibly cause a dissolution of the Company.

 Section 7.03. Optional Basis Adjustment. Inthe event of the transfer of all or any part of an interest of a Member, or upon a distribution of property to a Member, the Managers shall be authorized to adjust the federal income tax basis of Company property in accordance with IRC §754 in the manner provided in IRC §§734 and 743 thereof and the regulations promulgated thereunder. However, notwithstanding an election pursuant to IRC §754 with respect to the interest of any Member, the determination of Profits, Losses, and Capital Account balances shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be made without taking into account any adjustments resulting from such election, and such adjustment shall only be taken into account on the income tax returns of the Members affected thereby.

Upon the occurrence of an event of dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 8.01, the Company’s business shall be wound up and the Managers shall proceed without any unnecessary delay to liquidate and distribute the Company’s property and assets. However, if 75% of the Managers determine that an immediate sale of a portion or all of the Company’s property would cause undue loss to the Members, in order to avoid such loss, the liquidation of such property may be deferred as long as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances or the Managers may distribute assets in kind, unless otherwise required by the Act or any other applicable law. The winding up of the affairs of the Company and the distribution of its assets shall be conducted exclusively by the Managers. All assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 3.06. Each Member shall only have recourse against Company assets as consideration for such Member’s interest and no Member of the Company shall be personally liable to any other Member for any amounts in excess of such Member’s share of Company assets. Upon complete liquidation and dissolution of the Company, the Members shall cease to be Members of the Company and each and every Manager and Member of the Company shall cease to have any duties or obligations to the Company and the remaining Members.
