writing. At this point exiting Member may not make this intention publicly known. If such other
Members decline or fail to elect such interest within sixty (60) days, the exiting Member may
advertise its membership interest for sale as it sees fit.
(b) If a Member has a buyer of that Members interest, the other current Members have first right
of refusal to purchase the exiting Member’s interest for the agreed purchase price. If there are
more than one current remaining Members, the remaining Members may combine funds to
purchase the exiting Member’s interest. The exiting Member must show that the potential
purchaser has full certified funds, or the ability to get full certified funds before the first right of
refusal period starts. Current Members have 60 days to buy the exiting Member’s interest if they
so desire.
(c) Pursuant to the applicable law, the current Members may unanimously approve the sale of
exiting Member’s interests to grant full membership benefits and functionality to the new
Member. The current remaining Members must unanimously approve the sale, or the purchaser
or assignee will have no right to participate in the management of the business, affairs of the

Member’s interest percentage.
SM COMMERCE LLC - OPERATING AGREEMENT
Page 7
(c) The current Members must approve the certified appraiser used by the exiting Member.
Current Members have 30 days to approve the exiting Member’s certified appraiser. If the
current Members disapprove the certified appraiser, they must show evidence to support their
disapproval of the certified appraiser as a vendor qualified to make the LLC’s business appraisal.
The current Members may not stall the process by disapproving all certified appraisers.
(d) Upon completion of a certified appraiser placing a value on the LLC, a value will be placed
on exiting Member’s interest according to the exiting Member’s percentage of membership
interest.
(e) If the current Members disagree with the value placed on the exiting Member’s interest, the
current Members must pay for a certified appraiser to value the LLC and the exiting Member’s
interest according to the same terms.
(f) The current Members’ appraiser must be completed within 60 days or right of the current
Members to dispute the value of the exiting Member’s interest expires.
(g) Upon completion of the current Member’s by certified appraiser, the exiting Member must
approve the value placed on the exiting Member’s interest. The exiting Member has 30 days to
approve this value.
(h) If the exiting Member does not approve the current Members appraisal value, the value of the
LLC will be determined by adding both parties’ values, then dividing that value in half, then
creating the value of the exiting Member’s interest according to the exiting Member’s percentage
of membership interest.
7.3. DISTRIBUTION OF EXITING MEMBER’S INTEREST. Upon determination of the
exiting Member’s interest value, the value will be a debt of the LLC. The exiting Member will
only be able to demand payment of this debt at the dissolution of the LLC or the following
method:
(a) LLC will make timely payments.
(b) LLC will only be required to make payments towards the exiting Members’ debt if LLC is
profitable and passed income to the current Members.
(c) LLC must make a debt payment to the exiting Member if LLC passed income of 50% of the
total determined value of the exiting Member’s interest in one taxable year. (Example: If the
exiting Member’s value was $100,000 and the current Member(s) received $50,000 taxable
income in the taxable year, the LLC would owe a debt payment to the exiting Member. If the
current Member(s) only received $90,000 in passed income, there would be no payment due.)
(d) Debt payment must be at least 10% of the value of the passed income to the current LLC
Members.
(e) LLC must make payment to the exiting Member within 60 days of the end of the taxable year
for the LLC.
(f) Payment schedule will continue until the exiting Member’s debt is paid by LLC.

normal LLC dissolution payment statutes.

a Member or Substitute Member.

Interest or (ii) the decedent whose Membership Interest will pass under his or her last will and
