86.296 Classes of members or managers; series of members.
1. The articles of organization or
operating agreement of a limited-liability company may create classes of
members or managers, define their relative rights, powers and duties, and may
authorize the creation, in the manner provided in the operating agreement, of
additional classes of members or managers with the relative rights, powers and
duties as may from time to time be established, including, without limitation,
rights, powers and duties senior to existing classes of members or managers.
The articles of organization or operating agreement may provide that any
member, or class or group of members, has voting rights that differ from other
classes or groups.
2. The articles of organization or
operating agreement of a limited-liability company may authorize the creation
of one or more series of members, or vest authority in one or more members or
managers of the company or in other persons to create one or more series of
members, including, without limitation, rights, powers and duties senior to
existing series of members. A series may be created as a limited-liability
company, without the filing of articles of organization with the Secretary of
State, by the adoption of an operating agreement by the members of the series.
The operating agreement of the series may provide that any member associated
with the series has voting rights that differ from other members or series, or
no voting rights at all. A series may:
(a) Have separate powers, rights or duties with
respect to specified property or obligations of the company or profits and
losses associated with specified property or obligations;
(b) Have a separate business purpose or
investment objective;
(c) Sue and be sued, complain and defend, in its
own name;
(d) Make contracts in its own name;
(e) Purchase, take, receive, lease or otherwise
acquire, own, hold, improve, use and otherwise deal in and with real or
personal property, or an interest in it, wherever situated; and
(f) Sell, convey, mortgage, pledge, lease,
exchange, transfer and otherwise dispose of all or any part of its property and
assets.
3. The debts, liabilities, obligations and
expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a
particular series are enforceable against the assets of that series only, and
not against the assets of the company generally or any other series, if:
(a) Separate and distinct records are maintained
for the series and the assets associated with the series are held, directly or
indirectly, including through a nominee or otherwise, and accounted for
separately from the other assets of the company and any other series; and
(b) The articles of organization or operating
agreement provides that the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses
incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular
series are enforceable against the assets of that series only, and not against
the assets of the company generally or any other series.
4. Unless otherwise provided in the
articles of organization or operating agreement, any event described in this
chapter or in the articles of organization or operating agreement that causes a
manager to cease to be a manager with respect to a series does not, in itself,
cause the manager to cease to be a manager with respect to the company or with
respect to any other series. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of
organization or operating agreement, any event described in this chapter or in
the articles of organization or operating agreement that causes a member to
cease to be associated with a series does not, in itself, cause the member to
cease to be associated with any other series, terminate the continued
membership of a member in the company or cause the termination of the series,
regardless of whether the member was the last remaining member associated with
the series.
