Officers owe fiduciary duties of loyalty and care to the LLC and may, as Members, rely on reports provided to them by other Members, Officers, LLC employees, attorneys, accountants, or other professionals, so as long as the Officer reasonably believes in the competency of the individual and therefore the report being provided.

a. President. The President shall have the power and responsibility to oversee the general business of the LLC. The President shall preside over the meetings of the LLC and will be responsible for enacting all business voted on. The LLC members may elect to allow the President to act additionally as the Chief Operating Officer of the LLC or the LLC members may elect a Chairperson to do so. If the President is Chief Operating Officer, the President shall be permitted to execute contracts on behalf of the LLC unless someone else's signature is explicitly required by the contract or applicable law.

b. Secretary. The Secretary shall be responsible for maintaining all records of the LLC and completing any filings, except financial filings, as required by applicable law.

d. Additional officers. The LLC may elect additional Officers, including, as mentioned above, a Chairperson. Additional elections may also include any number of Vice-Presidents, as required and contemplated by the Members. Assistant Officers may be elected to manage responsibilities for the Officers at any time the Officers may not be present or if the Officers need additional help.


Article 9 - DISSOLUTION/WRAPPING UP:

a. Term. The LLC may dissolve upon the occurrence of any of the events listed in the Article entitled "Duration," above, or upon a unanimous vote of the Members. If the LLC is dissolved, the Members must participate in the winding up of the business of the LLC.

b. Winding up. Winding up the business of the LLC will be the responsibility of the Members. Duties in winding up may include satisfying any creditors, liquidating assets, ensuring the cancelation of outstanding contracts, and any other actions the Members deem appropriate.

c. Accounting. The Treasurer of the LLC shall be responsible to provide an accounting to the Members of the final assets and liabilities, including liquid funds, if any, to the Members at dissolution.

d. Funds priority. At dissolution, liquidated funds will be disbursed with the following priority:

1. to satisfy non-Member creditors;

2. to satisfy Member creditors to whom the LLC has a debt obligation;

3. recovery of Members' initial contributions;

4. remaining distributions to Members.

e. Asset distributions. For any assets which may remain after satisfying creditors, Members may elect to distribute those assets amongst the Members. Members may also elect to liquidate those assets and distribute any remaining funds. If Members choose to distribute tangible assets, Members will first agree on a fair market value of the assets (including the subtraction of any liabilities which may be due on the assets) and then distribute. If Members do not agree on a fair market value, an appraiser may be employed.

f. Distributions not possible. If distributions are not possible after an accounting has been made, Members may be eligible to receive their initial contributions back, but only after all outside creditors have been satisfied.

g. Dissolution complete. Dissolution of the LLC will be complete when all of the remaining assets or funds of the LLC have been used to satisfy final creditors or distributed to the Members. Additionally, final termination of the LLC requires any state registration provided to the relevant Secretary of State to be canceled.
