A New Hampshire limited liability company

This Operating Agreement (this “Agreement”) of ____________________ LLC (the “Company”) is made effective ____________________ (the “Effective Date”) by ____________________, the Company's sole member (the “Member”).

1.2 The Act. “Act” means the New Hampshire Revised Limited Liability Company Act, as amended from time to time. Where this Agreement is silent, the Act governs. Where the Act lets an operating agreement change one of its rules, this Agreement controls.

1.3 Name. The Company's name is ____________________ LLC. The Company may also do business under any other name chosen by the Member, after filing any assumed-name or fictitious-name registration the law requires.

1.4 Principal office. The Company's principal office is at ____________________, or at any other place chosen by the Member.

1.5 Registered agent. The Company's registered agent and registered office in the State of New Hampshire are those named in its Certificate of Formation, as changed from time to time by a filing with the state.

1.6 Purpose. The Company may carry on any lawful business for which a limited liability company may be formed under the Act.

1.7 Term. The Company began when its formation filing took effect and continues until it is dissolved and its affairs are wound up under Article 7.

Article 2. Member and capital

2.1 Member. The Member is ____________________, who owns all of the membership interests in the Company.

2.2 Contribution. The Member has contributed or will contribute ____________________ to the Company. The Member may contribute more at any time but is not required to.

2.3 Loans. The Member may lend money to the Company on terms approved by the Member. A loan is a debt of the Company, not a capital contribution.

2.4 Limited liability. No Member is personally liable for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely because of being a Member. The Company's failure to observe formalities is not a ground for holding any Member personally liable for the Company's obligations.

Article 3. Distributions

3.1 Distributions. The Company distributes cash and other property to the Member at the times and in the amounts decided by the Member.

3.2 Limit. The Company may not make a distribution that would leave it unable to pay its debts as they become due or that the Act otherwise prohibits.

Article 4. Management

4.1 Management by the Member. The Company is managed by the Member, who has full authority to manage its business and affairs and to act for and bind it.

4.2 Officers. The Member may appoint officers with the titles, duties and authority the Member sets, and may remove them at any time.

4.3 Compensation and expenses. No Member is paid for services to the Company unless the Member approves. The Company reimburses reasonable expenses incurred on its behalf.

4.4 Indemnification. To the fullest extent the Act allows, the Company indemnifies the Member against any loss, damage, claim or expense, including reasonable legal fees, incurred because of acting in good faith on the Company's behalf, except for gross negligence, willful misconduct, a knowing violation of law or a breach of this Agreement.

Article 5. Taxes, books and records

5.1 Tax classification. As long as the Company has one member, it is disregarded as an entity separate from the Member for federal income tax purposes, unless the Member elects to have it taxed as a corporation (for example, by filing IRS Form 8832 or, for S corporation status, Form 2553).

5.2 Fiscal year. The Company's fiscal year is the calendar year.

5.3 Books and records.

5.4 Bank accounts. The Company's money is kept in accounts in the Company's name and is never mixed with any Member's own money.

Article 6. Transfers and succession

6.1 Transfers. The Member may transfer all or part of the membership interest. A person who receives the whole interest by a written transfer becomes a member when the transfer takes effect. A person who receives part of it becomes a member only if the Member consents in writing.

6.2 Death or incapacity. If the Member dies or is adjudged legally incapacitated, the Member's personal representative, guardian, heirs or other successors may exercise all of the Member's rights, including the right to continue the Company and to admit a successor as a member, to the extent the Act allows. The Company does not dissolve because of the event if a successor is admitted as a member within the time the Act allows.
