The Member intends for the Company to be disregarded as an entity for federal income tax purposes and for state income tax purposes in those states that follow federal tax classifications.
 
Section 7.          Management of the Company. The business affairs of the Company shall be managed by a Manager. Except as expressly provided herein or as otherwise required by applicable law, the Manager shall have complete and exclusive control of the management of the Company’s business and affairs.

Each Officer shall hold office until such Officer’s death, incapacity, resignation or removal or until the appointment of a successor.
