Arkansas § 4-32-706 - Right of assignee to become member.

§ 4-32-706. Right of assignee to become member.

Unless otherwise provided in writing in an operating agreement, an assignee of a limited liability company interest may become a member only if the other members unanimously consent. The consent of a member may be evidenced in any manner specified in writing in an operating agreement, but in the absence of specification, consent shall be evidenced by a written instrument dated and signed by the member. An assignee who becomes a member has to the extent assigned the rights and powers and is subject to the restrictions and liabilities of a member under the articles of organization, any operating agreement, and this chapter. An assignee who becomes a member also is liable for any obligations of the assignor to make contributions under § 4-32-502. However, the assignee is not obligated for liabilities of which the assignee had no knowledge at the time he or she became a member and which could not be ascertained from the written records of the limited liability company kept pursuant to § 4-32-405. Whether or not an assignee of a limited liability company interest becomes a member, the assignor is not released from his or her liability, if any, to the limited liability company under § 4-32-502. Unless otherwise provided in writing in an operating agreement, a member who assigns his or her entire limited liability company interest ceases to be a member or to have the power to exercise any rights of a member when the assignee becomes a member with respect to the entire assigned interest.
