Title 2.5. LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES |
Chapter 6. Distributions and Withdrawals |
Section 17252.
-
(a) The articles of organization or a written operating agreement may provide that a member may withdraw, resign, or retire from a limited liability company at the time or upon the happening of events specified in the operating agreement or that the member shall not have the right to withdraw, resign, or retire as a member of a limited liability company. Notwithstanding any restriction upon the right of a member to withdraw, resign, or retire, a member may withdraw from a limited liability company at any time by giving written notice to the other members. However, unless the articles of organization or written operating agreement provide otherwise, the withdrawn member shall not be entitled to payment for the member's interest in the limited liability company, and, beginning on the date of the withdrawal, the withdrawn member shall have only the right of a holder of an economic interest with respect to that withdrawn member's interest in the limited liability company, and then only with respect to distributions, if any, to which a holder of an economic interest is entitled under the operating agreement of the limited liability company, and the withdrawn member shall no longer be a member of the limited liability company. If the withdrawal, resignation, or retirement is in violation of the operating agreement, the limited liability company shall have the right to offset any damages for the breach of the operating agreement from the amounts, if any, otherwise distributable to the withdrawn member with respect to the withdrawn member's economic interest in the limited liability company.
(b) Upon the withdrawal of a member, the list required to be kept pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 17058 shall be amended accordingly.
