Members Agreement
THIS MEMBERS AGREEMENT is made as of the ____ day of _________, [YEAR], by and among
[YOUR COMPANY NAME] (“Company”), [PARTNER 1], and [PARTNER 2], ETC. (collectively,
“Members” and each individually as a “Member”).

RECITALS

The Members currently own 100% of the equity interest (the "Membership Interests") in the Company,
as set forth on Schedule "A". The Members and the Company wish to set forth their duties and
obligations with respect to the ownership, purchase, sale and disposition of the Membership Interests of
the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

1. TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

(a) No Member shall sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of his, her or its
Membership Interests unless the sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, or other disposition is specifically
authorized by this Agreement. In the event of the divorce of a Member, all Membership Interests
owned or formerly owned by such Member shall be deemed to be offered for sale hereunder as
provided in this paragraph.

(b) If a Member (the "Selling Member") wishes to sell any of his, her or its Membership Interests
(the "Offered Membership Interests"), the Selling Member shall first offer the Membership Interests to
the Company by giving a written notice (the "Notice") thereof to the Company. The notice shall specify
the terms and conditions upon which the Selling Member wishes to sell the Offered Membership
Interests. The Company shall have the option to purchase all, or any portion, of the Offered
Membership Interests at the lesser of: (aa) the price determined under paragraph 3 hereof; or (bb) the
price set forth in the Notice. The purchase shall be on the terms set forth in paragraph 4 hereof. The
Company must exercise its option to purchase the Offered Membership Interest no later than thirty (30)
days after it receives the Notice (or, if later, fifteen days after the purchase price· has been determined
under paragraph 3 hereof). The failure of the Company to exercise its option within such period shall
be deemed a rejection thereof.

(c) The Company and the Selling Member shall consummate the transfer of the Offered
Membership Interests no later than thirty (30) days after the Company has exercised its option to
acquire the Offered Membership Interests.

(d) If the Company does not purchase all of the Offered Membership interests, the Selling Member
shall offer the remaining Offered Membership Interests to the other Members ("the "Buying Member(s)")
by delivering a written notice (the "Second Notice") to the Buying Member setting forth the terms and
conditions upon which he wishes to sell the Offered Membership Interests (which terms and conditions
shall be the same as the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice). The Buying Member(s)
thereafter shall have the option to purchase the Offered Membership Interests. If a Buying Member(s)
elects not to purchase the Offered Membership Interests, the Selling Member may sell such
Membership Interests to any other person eligible to be a Member in the Company as provided in
clause (F )below. No person is eligible under this provision if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company,
the addition of such person as a Member could adversely affect the tax treatment of the Company at
the time of such proposed sale. The price of any Offered Membership Interests purchased by the
Buying Member(s) shall be the lesser of: (aa) the price determined pursuant to paragraph 3 hereof; or
(bb) the price set forth in the Second Notice. Any such purchase shall be on the terms set forth in

Page 1 of 6
[YOUR COMPANY NAME]
Members Agreement
paragraph 4 hereof. The Buying Member(s) shall exercise his rights hereunder no later than thirty days
after receipt of the Second-Notice. The failure of the Buying Member(s) to exercise his option within
thirty (30) days after receipt of the Second Notice shall be deemed a rejection of the option by the
Buying Member(s).

(e) The Selling Member and each Buying Member shall consummate the transfer of the Offered
Membership Interests no later than thirty (30) days after the Buying Member has exercised his, her or
its option to purchase all or a portion of the Offered Membership Interests.

(f) If the Company or the Buying Member(s) do not purchase all of the Offered Membership
Interests, the Selling Member may, subject to paragraph 5 hereof, sell all unsold Offered Membership
Interests to a bona fide purchaser. However, the Selling Member may not transfer the Offered
Membership Interests on prices or terms more favorable to the purchaser than those offered to the
Company or to the Buying Member(s). The Selling Member's right to transfer the Offered Membership
Interests to third parties shall expire ninety (90) days after the expiration of the last thirty (30) day period
during which the Buying Member could have exercised his option to purchase the Offered Membership
Interests.

2. DEATH OF MEMBER(S)

(a) Upon the death of a Member, at the option of the surviving Members, either the surviving
Members or the Company shall purchase, and the deceased Member's estate shall sell, all
Membership Interests owned by the deceased Member at the time of his death at the purchase price
specified in paragraph 3 hereof and on the terms set forth in paragraph 4 hereof. Such sale shall be
consummated no later than ninety (90) days after the date of the Member's death (or, if later, fifteen
(15) days after the purchase price has been determined under paragraph 3 hereof).

(b) In the event of the simultaneous death (which for purposes hereof shall mean the occurrence of
the second death within three business days of the first death) of both Members, the Company's then-
current auditor shall be deemed to be, and is hereby appointed for such purpose by the Members (in
their capacity as members of the board of directors of the Company), as an officer of the Company for
the purposes of and with full power and authority to liquidate all of the Company's assets, which m a ybe
by way of one or more sales as such officer shall determine, and this Agreement shall be and constitute
the act of the board of directors of the Company for all such purposes. Net liquidation proceeds shall
be distributed to the estates of the deceased Members, and there shall be no sale of the Membership
Interests of the deceased Members as provided in clause (a) above.

3. PURCHASE PRICE

Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs 1 and 10 hereof, the price of each Membership Interest for
any transfer hereunder shall be its fair market value determined in accordance with the provisions of
this paragraph as of the last day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the transfer. The
following provisions shall govern the determination of the fair market value:

a) The fair market value of each Membership Interest may be established at any time during the
term of this Agreement by the unanimous consent of the parties hereto.

(b) If the parties are unable to agree upon the fair market value of each Membership Interest, an
appraiser shall establish the fair market value. The parties shall select a mutually agreeable appraiser
within fifteen (15) days after a written request for appraisal is sent by any party to all other parties

hereto. If the parties cannot agree upon an appraiser within such fifteen (15) day period, the American
Arbitration Association shall select an appraiser. The Company shall pay the full amount of any charges
made for an appraisal hereunder, and the Company shall at its cost promptly provide the appraiser with
such financial statements and other materials as the appraiser may request in connection with such
appraisal.

(c) If the fair market value of the Membership Interests is determined hereunder by the
parties or by an appraiser as of the last day of any calendar quarter, such value shall also be deemed
to be the fair market value of the Membership Interests as of the last day of the next succeeding
calendar quarter.

4. PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 10 hereof, the Company or a Member, as the case may be,
shall pay: (a) not less than 10% of the price of the Membership Interests purchased under the terms of
this Agreement in cash on the date of closing; and (b) the remaining portion of the price by delivery of a
promissory note (the "Note") representing the balance of the total purchase price. The Note shall be
payable in four (4) equal annual installments of principal (commencing one year from the date of
closing) plus accrued interest at an annual rate of 8%. The Note shall be secured by a pledge of all the
Membership Interests purchased by the Company or the Member, as the case may be, and shall be in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the payee thereof. If the Company is the beneficiary
under any life insurance policy on a deceased Member's life, the Company shall apply the full amount
of the proceeds payable under such policy to purchase the deceased Member's Membership Interests
(except to the extent that such proceeds exceed the purchase price).

provisions of this Agreement, that he, she or it will assume all liabilities of Members under this
Agreement, and that he, she or it will perform all obligations and duties of Members under this
