The LLC documents may provide for the taking of an action, including the amendment of the LLC documents, without the vote or approval of any director, manager, member or holder of financial rights or of any class or group of directors, managers, members or holders of financial rights, including an action to create a class or group of directors, managers, members or holders of financial rights under the LLC documents. The LLC documents may denominate membership interests or financial rights as units, shares, percentages, participations, distribution interests, ownership or economic interests, with or without voting rights, and with or without fixed or variable rights to participate in distributions, assets and properties, allocations of profits and losses and fixed or variable obligations to the LLC or any combination of these things.
