If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, the Managers present at such meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee, as the case may be.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any officer shall have the right to vote any securities or equity interest of another entity held by the Company. Any delegation pursuant to this Section may be revoked at any time by the Board. An Officer may be removed with or without cause by the Board.
