(b) If a member has a buyer of member’s interest, the other current member(s) have first right of refusal to purchase the exiting members interest for the agreed purchase price.  If there are more than one current remaining members, remaining members may combine funds to purchase the exiting members interest.  Exiting member must show that potential purchaser has full certified funds, or the ability to get full certified funds before the first right of refusal period starts.  Current members have 60 days to buy exiting members interest if they so desire.

(c) Pursuant to the applicable law, current members may unanimously approve the sale of exiting members’ interests to grant full membership benefits and functionality to the new member.  The current remaining members must unanimously approve the sale, or the purchaser or assignee will have no right to participate in the management of the business, affairs of the Company, or member voting rights.

(a) A value must be placed upon this membership interest before assigned.  

(b) If exiting member and current members do not agree on the value of this membership interest, exiting member must pay for a certified appraiser to appraise the LLC company value, and the exiting members’ value will be assigned a value according to the exiting members’ interest percentage.  

(c) The current members must approve the certified appraiser used by exiting member. Current members have 30 days to approve the exiting members certified appraiser.

(f) Current members’ appraiser must be completed within 60 days or right of current members to dispute the value of exiting members interest expires.  

(g) Upon completion of current members certified appraiser, the exiting member must approve the value placed on exiting members’ interest.  Exiting member has 30 days to approve this value.

(h) If exiting member does not approve current members’ appraiser value, the value of the LLC will be determined by adding both parties’ values, then dividing that value in half, then creating the value of the exiting members’ interest according to the exiting members’ percentage of membership interest.

7.2 DISTRIBUTION OF EXITING MEMBERS INTEREST.  Upon determination of exiting members’ interest value, the value will be a debt of the LLC.  The exiting member will only be able to demand payment of this debt at dissolution of the LLC or the following method:

(a) LLC will only be required to make payments towards exiting members’ debt if LLC is profitable and profit is distributed to current members.

(b) LLC must make a debt payment to exiting member if LLC distributes profit equal to, or exceeding 50% of the total determined value of the exiting members’ interest in one taxable year.  (Example: If exiting members’ value was $100,000 and current member(s) received $50,000 taxable income in the taxable year, the LLC would owe a debt payment to exiting member.  If current member(s) only received $90,000 in distributed profits, there would be no payment due.)

(c) Debt payment must be at least 10% of the value of the distributed profit to current LLC members.

(d) LLC must make payment to exiting member within 60 days of the end of the taxable year for the LLC.

(e) Payment schedule will continue until exiting members debt is paid by LLC.  

(f) If LLC dissolves, exiting member will be a regular debtor and payment will follow normal LLC dissolution payment statutes.

(g) Exiting members’ value of membership interest it assigned current members may NOT accrue interest.  

(h) LLC can pay off amount owed to exiting member at any time if it so desires.
