There is a third option too. We just propose that we will assign RSP’s 45% share to Devon, Chris, Rob and me and then we just come to a “settlement” with you on what we owe you for your share. (Or if there is an issue with me being one of the assignees it just be to Devon, Chris and Rob.) It still requires a vote of 80% of the partners to do so, but it might make it cleaner. The key to this agreement would be a requirement that any new LLC agreement drafted make the assignees full members, that it continue to require an 80% vote of the partners to remove a member and that there be no vesting over time. That might make this a difficult option. But those qualifications should be key even if Hunter and I are removed from RSTP altogether that no revised RSTP LLC agreement include the section Will included in his original draft that a “majority of the members” can kick someone out if they determine they are not spending sufficient time on the fund. This sets this up a year from now, Devon, for them to kick you out by a majority vote. Eric D.

That agreement that Will sent allows you to remain in RSTP I, Alpha and Bravo and fully vest (although it allowed John and Will to throw you out at any time for any reason they want it still envisioned a scenario where you could receive 100%).
