MEMBERS AND UNITS
SECTION 4.01. Member. As described in more detail on Schedule A attached hereto, the sole Member of the Company shall be Mission Cares Services, LLC
unless and until such limited liability company transfers one or more membership units or the Company hereafter issues additional membership units.
SECTION 4.02. Units.
(a) Interests in the Company shall be represented by units of interest (individually, a “Unit” or “Membership Unit” and collectively, the “Units” or “Membership Units”). All Units shall carry equal rights, powers and duties.
(b) A Member’s interest in the Company shall be proportionate to the number of Units held by such Member relative to the total number of Units issued and outstanding by the Company.
SECTION 4.03. Voluntary Withdrawal of Member. Upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Company, a Member may withdraw from the Company. If a Member shall voluntarily withdraw from the Company, the Company shall pay to said withdrawing Member an amount equal to the Buy-Out Price. The Buy-Out Price shall be paid in accordance with the terms of Sections 4.05 and 4.06.
SECTION 4.04. Death of Member. In the event of and concurrently upon the death of a Member such Member’s Units shall be redeemed by the Company and in exchange the Company shall pay to the estate of the deceased Member a sum of money equal to the Buy-Out Price. The Buy-Out Price will be paid in accordance with the terms of Sections 4.07 and 4.08.
SECTION 4.05. Buy-Out Price. For purposes of this Operating Restated Agreement, Members who voluntarily withdraw pursuant to Section 4.05 or Members who have died shall be individually referred to as “Former Member” and collectively referred to as “Former Members”. The Buy-Out Price to be paid to Former Members shall be the fair market value of a Member’s interest. The fair market value shall be determined by agreement between the Former Member or, in the case of a Member’s death, the personal representative, executor or other appointed person who has the primary authority and duty to administer the Former Member’s estate whether such appointment was made by the Former Member via estate planning documents or by a probate court (the representative appointed by the Member or appointed by probate court shall be referred to herein as “Legal Representative”). If the Former Member, of the Legal Representative, as the case may be, and the Company cannot agree on the fair market value of the Former Member’s Units within fourteen (14) days, the fair market value of such Units shall be determined by appraisal. The Company and the Former Member, or Legal Representative, as the case may be, shall each choose one appraiser no later than ten (10) days after the 14-day timeframe has expired and the parties have failed to reach Restated Agreement. The two appraisers so chosen shall chose a third appraiser within ten (10) days. Thereafter, but no later than thirty (30) days after selecting the third
appraiser, all three appraisers shall meet and confer until at least two of the appraisers agree on an appraised value of the Former Member’s Units. The decision of a majority of the appraisers as to the fair market value of such Membership Units shall be binding and may be enforced by legal proceedings. The Former Member or his/her estate and the Company shall each compensate the appraiser appointed by him/her/it and the compensation of the third appraiser shall be borne equally by such parties.
SECTION 4.06 Payment Terms.
(a) Payment of the Buy-Out Price shall be made on the following terms (the “Payment Terms”). Any such payments will be made in twenty-four (24) equal consecutive monthly payments of principal together with interest which shall accumulate at the prime lending rate as published in the Wall Street Journal until fully and completely paid. The first payment shall occur on the first day of the month following the month in which the fair market value has been determined in accordance with Section 4.07 (the “Initial Payment Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing payment schedule, in any calendar year the aggregate amount payable by the Company to Former Members shall not exceed fifty-five percent (55%) of the Company’s net profits, as defined in Section 6,04, in the immediately preceding fiscal year. If, in any year, the Company is obligated to make payments to more than one Former Member, and the foregoing limitation applies, the amounts payable to all such Former Members (or their Legal Representatives) shall be reduced on a proportionate basis, in accordance with the amount due to such Former Members (or their Legal Representatives) in such year.
(b) The unpaid balance of the Buy-Out Price may be prepaid without penalty in full or in part at any time and from time to time.
(c) If the Former Member is indebted to the Company for any reason, such amounts shall be offset against the amounts payable to the Former Member, and if the Company has entered into any guarantee on his/her behalf, such guarantee shall be discharged before any payment is made to such Former Member. Any amounts owing to the Company, in excess of the amounts owing to such Former Member, shall become immediately due and payable on demand.
SECTION 4.07. Waiver of Action for Partition. Each Member irrevocably waives any right to maintain an action for partition with respect to the property of the Company.

The Initial Manager identified in this Section and only such Initial Manager shall have the authority to take such action as described in Section 5.02.1 unilaterally and without seeking or obtaining approval by eighty percent (80%) of the then outstanding Units.

During any period of time in which a successor Manager is serving the Company, “available funds” shall mean any amount in excess of the Company’s gross receipts over the Company’s expenditures and which the Manager determines need not be retained by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall retain no more than those funds remaining after paying the Members: (1) the amount necessary to pay federal and state income taxes on the Company’s profits attributable to the Members at the then highest tax rate for individuals, and (2) ten percent (10%) of the net profit attributable to the Members.
