3.3 Meetings of Members. (a) Meetings; Notice of Meetings. Meetings of the Members, including any special meeting, may be called by the Board from time to time. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Members not less than five (5) nor more than thirty (30) Business Days prior to the date of such meeting and shall state the location, date and hour of the meeting and the agenda for the meeting. Meetings shall be held at the location (within or without the State of Delaware) at the date and hour set forth in the notice of the meeting. (b) Waiver of Notice. No notice of any meeting of Members need be given to any Member who submits a signed waiver of notice, whether before or after the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Members need be specified in a written waiver of notice. The attendance of any Member at a meeting of Members shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the Member attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. (c) Quorum. Except as otherwise required by the Delaware Act, by the Certificate of Formation or this Agreement, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a Majority in Interest shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting. (d) Voting. If the Board has fixed a record date, every holder of record of Units entitled to vote at a meeting of Members or to consent in writing in lieu of a meeting of Members shall be entitled to one vote for each such Unit outstanding in such Members name at the close of business on such record date. If no record date has been so fixed, then every holder of record of such Units entitled to vote at a meeting of Members or to consent in writing in lieu of a meeting of Members shall be entitled to one vote for each Unit outstanding in his name on the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is given or the first consent in respect of the applicable action is executed and delivered to the Company, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. Except as otherwise required by the Delaware Act, the Certificate of Formation or this Agreement, the vote of a Majority in Interest at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient for the transaction of any business at such meeting. (e) Proxies. Each Member may authorize any Person to act for such Member by proxy on all matters in which a Member is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by the Member or such Members attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of three years from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Member executing it unless otherwise provided in such proxy, provided, that such right to revocation shall not invalidate or otherwise affect actions taken under such proxy prior to such revocation. (f) Organization. Each meeting of Members shall be conducted by such Person as the Board may designate.

(g) Action Without a Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, any action which may be taken at any meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting, upon five (5) days prior written notice to all Members (unless such notice has been waived in writing by each Member failing to receive notice, whether prior to or after such action has been consented to) and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by a Majority in Interest and the writing or writings (including any waivers of notice) filed with the minutes of the proceedings of Members. Prompt notice of the taking of the action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those Members who have not consented in writing. |
