MANAGEMENT OF COMPANY
2.01. Management. The full and exclusive right, power and authority to manage the Company is retained by, and reserved to, the Member. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to designate or appoint, or authorize the designation or appointment of any “managers” as such term is defined in the Act. The business and affairs of the Company shall be conducted, and its capital, assets and funds shall be managed, dealt with and disposed of, and all decisions to be made by the Member shall be made solely by the Member.
2.02. Officers. (a) The Member may, from time to time, designate one or more persons to be officers of the Company. Any officers so designated shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Member may, from time to time, delegate to them. The Member may assign titles to particular officers. Unless the Member decides otherwise, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed under the Florida Statutes, as amended, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such officer of the authority and duties that are normally associated with that office, subject to any restrictions on such authority imposed by the Member. Any number of offices may be held by the same person. Any delegation pursuant to this Section 2.02 may be revoked at any time by the Member. Without regard to the general delegation to the officers as set forth above, each officer with the title of “Treasurer,” “Chief Financial Officer,” “Secretary,” “Vice President” or “President,” acting alone, shall have the power, and is hereby authorized, to (i) enter into, execute and deliver any and all agreements or other instruments (the “Instruments”) as such officer shall determine to be necessary or appropriate to be executed by the Company in connection with the Company’s business and affairs and to make such changes or modifications to any Instruments as such officer deems necessary or appropriate from time to time; (ii) execute and deliver any other agreements, certificates, undertakings or other instruments contemplated by the foregoing or otherwise deemed necessary or appropriate by such officer in connection with the transactions contemplated by any Instruments; (iii) file all such applications, notices, certificates, documents and other instruments as shall appear to such officer to be necessary or appropriate with any federal, state, local or foreign governmental authorities in connection with the transactions contemplated by any Instruments, and to seek such approval from and give such notices to, any private persons or entities as are necessary or appropriate, or are reasonably deemed necessary or appropriate by such officer, to consummate the transactions contemplated by any Instruments; and (iv) to take any and all other actions as such officer may approve as being necessary or appropriate to carry out and effectuate the transactions contemplated by any Instruments. In each case, the execution and delivery of such agreements or other documents, or the taking of such actions, shall be conclusive evidence of such officer’s approval thereof, or any necessary determination with respect thereto, and no further approval by the Company shall be required.
2
(b) Each officer’s term of office shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date upon which his or her successor shall be duly designated and qualified and (ii) his or her death or resignation or removal in the manner hereinafter provided.
(c) Any officer may resign as such at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time is specified, at the time of its receipt by the Member. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation.
