(b)(1) To the extent that, at law or in equity, a member or other person has duties, including fiduciary duties, to the limited liability company, or to another member or to another person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by a limited liability company agreement, the member's or other person's duties may be expanded or restricted or eliminated by a written limited liability company agreement, but the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing may not be eliminated. (2) A written limited liability company agreement may provide for the limitation or elimination of any and all liabilities for breach of contract and breach of duties, including fiduciary duties, of a member or other person to a limited liability company or to another member or to another person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by a limited liability company agreement, but a limited liability company agreement may not limit or eliminate liability for any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. (3) A member or other person shall not be liable to a limited liability company or to another member or to another person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by a limited liability company agreement for breach of fiduciary duty for the member's or other person's good faith reliance on the limited liability company agreement.

(5) A penalty or consequence that may be specified under paragraph (4) of this subsection may include and take the form of reducing or eliminating the defaulting member's or transferee's proportionate interest in a limited liability company, subordinating the member's or transferee's transferable interest to that of non-defaulting members or transferees, forcing a sale of that transferable interest, forfeiting the defaulting member's or transferee's transferable interest, the lending by other members or transferees of the amount necessary to meet the defaulting member's or transferee's commitment, a fixing of the value of the defaulting member's or transferee's transferable interest by appraisal or by formula and redemption or sale of the transferable interest at that value, or other penalty or consequence. (6) A written limited liability company agreement may supersede, in whole or in part, the provisions of Division C of Article 3 of Chapter 1. (c) A limited liability company agreement may not: (1) vary the nature of the limited liability company as a separate legal entity under Section 10A-5A-1.04(a); (2) vary the law applicable under Section 10A-5A-1.05; (3) restrict the rights under this chapter of a person other than a member, dissociated member, or transferee; (4) vary the power of the court under Section 10A-5A-2.05; (5) eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing as provided under Section 10A-5A-1.08(b)(1); (6) eliminate or limit the liability of a member or other person for any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing as provided under Section 10A-5A-1.08(b)(2); (7) waive the requirements of Section 10A-5A-4.04(c); (8) vary the law applicable under Section 10A-5A-4.06(c); (9) reduce the limitations period specified under Section 10A-5A-4.06(d) for an action commenced under other applicable law; (10) waive the prohibition on issuance of a certificate of a transferable interest in bearer form under Section 10A-5A-5.02(c); (11) vary the power of a court to decree dissolution in the circumstances specified in Section 10A-5A-7.01(d) or in Section 10A-5A-11.09(e); (12) vary the requirement to wind up a limited liability company's activities and affairs as specified in Section 10A-5A-7.02(a); (13) vary the provisions of Section 10A-5A-8.01; (14) vary the right of a member under Section 10A-5A-10.09; or (15) waive the requirements of Section 10A-5A-11.02(b).

Section 10A-5A-4.04 Liability for contribution. (a) A member's obligation to make a contribution to a limited liability company, or a series thereof, is not excused by the member's death, disability, or other inability to perform personally. If a member does not make a contribution required by an enforceable promise, the member or the member's estate is obligated, at the election of the limited liability company, or series thereof, to contribute money equal to the value of the portion of the contribution that has not been made. The foregoing election shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights, including the right to specific performance, that the limited liability company, or series thereof, may have under the limited liability company agreement or applicable law. (b)(1) The obligation of a member to make a contribution to a limited liability company may be compromised only by consent of all the members.

(2) A member has a right to a distribution before the dissolution and winding up of a limited liability company as provided in the limited liability company agreement. A decision to make a distribution before the dissolution and winding up of the limited liability company is a decision in the ordinary course of activities and affairs of the limited liability company.

(3) A member does not have a right to demand and receive a distribution from a limited liability company in any form other than money. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10A-5A-7.06(c), a limited liability company may distribute an asset in kind if each member receives a percentage of the asset in proportion to the member's share of distributions.

Section 10A-5A-5.02 Transfer of transferable interest. (a) A transfer, in whole or in part, of a transferable interest: (1) is permissible; (2)(A) does not by itself cause a member to cease to be a member of the limited liability company; and (B) does not by itself cause a member to cease to be associated with a series of the limited liability company; (3) does not by itself cause a dissolution and winding up of the limited liability company, or a series thereof; and (4) subject to Section 10A-5A-5.04, does not entitle the transferee to: (A) participate in the direction or oversight of the activities and affairs of the limited liability company, or a series thereof; or (B) have access to records or other information concerning the activities and affairs of the limited liability company, or a series thereof. (b) A transferee has the right to receive, in accordance with the transfer, distributions to which the transferor would otherwise be entitled. (c) A transferable interest may be evidenced by a certificate of transferable interest issued by the limited liability company, or a series thereof. A limited liability company agreement may provide for the transfer of the transferable interest represented by the certificate and make other provisions with respect to the certificate. No certificate of transferable interest shall be issued in bearer form.

Section 10A-5A-5.03 Charging order. (a) On application to a court of competent jurisdiction by any judgment creditor of a member or transferee, the court may charge the transferable interest of the judgment debtor with payment of the unsatisfied amount of the judgment with interest. To the extent so charged and after the limited liability company has been served with the charging order, the judgment creditor has only the right to receive any distribution or distributions to which the judgment debtor would otherwise be entitled in respect of the transferable interest. (b) A limited liability company, after being served with a charging order and its terms, shall be entitled to pay or deposit any distribution or distributions to which the judgment debtor would otherwise be entitled in respect of the charged transferable interest into the hands of the clerk of the court so issuing the charging order, and the payment or deposit shall discharge the limited liability company and the judgment debtor from liability for the amount so paid or deposited and any interest that might accrue thereon. Upon receipt of the payment or deposit, the clerk of the court shall notify the judgment creditor of the receipt of the payment or deposit. The judgment creditor shall, after any payment or deposit into the court, petition the court for payment of so much of the amount paid or deposited as is held by the court as may be necessary to pay the judgment creditor's judgment. To the extent the court has excess amounts paid or deposited on hand after the payment to the judgment creditor, the excess amounts paid or deposited shall be distributed to the judgment debtor and the charging order shall be extinguished. The court, may in its discretion, order the clerk to deposit, pending the judgment creditor's petition, any money paid or deposited with the clerk, in an interest bearing account at a bank authorized to receive deposits of public funds. (c) A charging order constitutes a lien on the judgment debtor's transferable interest. (d) Subject to subsection (c): (1) a judgment debtor that is a member retains the rights of a member and remains subject to all duties and obligations of a member; and (2) a judgment debtor that is a transferee retains the rights of a transferee and remains subject to all duties and obligations of a transferee.

Section 10A-5A-8.02 Death or disqualification of member. (a) In the case of a limited liability company performing professional services, upon the death of a member, upon a member becoming a disqualified person, or upon a transferable interest being transferred by operation of law or court decree to a disqualified person, the transferable interest of the deceased member or of the disqualified person may be transferred to a qualified person and, if not so transferred, subject to Section 10A-5A-4.06, shall be purchased by the limited liability company as provided in this section. (b) If the price of the transferable interest is not fixed by the limited liability company agreement, the limited liability company, within six months after the death or 30 days after the disqualification or transfer, as the case may be, shall make a written offer to pay to the holder of the transferable interest a specified price deemed by the limited liability company to be the fair value of the transferable interest as of the date of the death, disqualification, or transfer. The offer shall be given to the personal representative of the estate of the deceased member, the disqualified person, or the transferee, as the case may be, and shall be accompanied by a balance sheet of the limited liability company, as of the latest available date and not more than 12 months prior to the making of the offer, and a profit and loss statement of the limited liability company for the 12 months' period ended on the date of the balance sheet. (c) If within 30 days after the date of the written offer from the limited liability company the fair value of the transferable interest is agreed upon between the personal representative of the estate of the deceased member, the disqualified person, or the transferee, as the case may be, and the limited liability company, payment therefor shall be made within 90 days, or such other period as the parties may agree, after the date of the offer. Upon payment of the agreed value, the personal representative of the estate of the deceased member, the disqualified person, or the transferee, as the case may be, shall cease to have any interest in, or claim to, the transferable interest. (d) If within 30 days from the date of the written offer from the limited liability company, the personal representative of the estate of the deceased member, the disqualified person, or the transferee, as the case may be, and the limited liability company do not so agree as to the fair value of the transferable interest, then either party may commence a civil action in the designated court, and if none, in the circuit court for the county in which the limited liability company's principal office within this state is located, and if the limited liability company does not have a principal office within this state, then in the circuit court for the county in which the limited liability company's most recent registered office is located requesting that the fair value of the transferable interest be found and determined. The personal representative of the estate of the deceased member, the disqualified person, or the transferee, as the case may be, wherever residing, shall be made a party to the proceeding as an action against that person's transferable interest quasi in rem. Service shall be made in accordance with the rules of civil procedure. The personal representative of the estate of the deceased member, the disqualified person, or the transferee, as the case may be, shall be entitled to a judgment against the limited liability company for the amount of the fair value of that person's transferable interest as of the date of death, disqualification, or transfer. The court, in its discretion, may order that the judgment be paid in installments and with interest and on terms as the court may determine. The court, if it so elects, may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers shall have the power and authority as shall be specified in the order of their appointment or an amendment thereof. (e) The judgment shall include an allowance for interest at the rate the court finds to be fair and equitable in all the circumstances, from the date of death, disqualification, or transfer. (f) The costs and expenses of any proceeding shall be determined by the court and shall be assessed against the parties in a manner the court deems equitable. (g) The expenses shall include reasonable compensation for and reasonable expenses of the appraisers and a reasonable attorney's fee but shall exclude the fees and expenses of counsel for and of experts employed by any party, but: (1) if the fair value of the transferable interest as determined materially exceeds the amount which the limited liability company offered to pay therefor, or if no offer was made by the limited liability company, the court in its discretion may award to the personal representative of the estate of the deceased member, the disqualified person, or the transferee, as the case may be, the sum the court determines to be reasonable compensation to any expert or experts employed by the personal representative of the estate of the deceased member, the disqualified person, or the transferee, as the case may be, in the proceeding; and (2) if the offer of the limited liability company for the transferable interest materially exceeds the amount of the fair value of the transferable interest as determined, the court, in its discretion, may award to the limited liability company the sum the court determines to be reasonable compensation to any expert or experts employed by the limited liability company in the proceeding. (h) If the purchase or transfer of the transferable interest of a deceased member, a disqualified person, or a transferee is not completed within 12 months after the death of the deceased member or 12 months after the disqualification or transfer, as the case may be, the limited liability company shall forthwith cancel the transferable interest on its books and the personal representative of the estate of the deceased member, the disqualified person, or the transferee, as the case may be, shall have no further interest in the transferable interest other than that person's right to payment for the transferable interest under this section. (i) This section shall not require a limited liability company to purchase a transferable interest of a disqualified person if the disqualification is for less than 12 months from the date of disqualification. A limited liability company may require the disqualified person to sell the disqualified person's transferable interest to the limited liability company upon any disqualification. (j) Any provision of a limited liability company agreement regarding the purchase or transfer of a transferable interest of a limited liability company performing professional services shall be specifically enforceable in the courts of Alabama. (k) Nothing in this section shall prevent or relieve a limited liability company from paying pension benefits or other deferred compensation. (Act 2014-144, p. 265, §1; Act 2020-73, §10.)

(a) When a conversion takes effect: (1) all property and contract rights owned by the converting organization, or series thereof, remains vested in the converted organization without transfer, reversion, or impairment and the title to any property vested by deed or otherwise in the converting organization shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the conversion; (2) all debts, obligations, or other liabilities of the converting organization, or series thereof, continue as debts, obligations, or other liabilities of the converted organization and neither the rights of creditors, nor the liens upon the property of the converting organization shall be impaired by the conversion; (3) an action or proceeding pending by or against the converting organization, or series thereof, continues as if the conversion had not occurred and the name of the converted entity may, but need not, be substituted for the name of the converting entity in any pending action or proceeding; (4) except as prohibited by law other than this chapter, all of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers, and purposes of the converting organization, or series thereof, remain vested in the converted organization; (5) except as otherwise provided in the plan of conversion, the terms and conditions of the plan of conversion take effect; (6) except as otherwise agreed, for all purposes of the laws of this state, the converting organization, and any series thereof, shall not be required to wind up its affairs or pay its liabilities and distribute its assets, and the conversion shall not be deemed to constitute a dissolution of the converting organization, or series thereof; (7) for all purposes of the laws of this state, the rights, privileges, powers, interests in property, debts, liabilities, and duties of the converting organization, and all series thereof, shall be the rights, privileges, powers, interests in property, debts, liabilities, and duties of the converted organization, and shall not be deemed as a consequence of the conversion, to have been transferred to the converted organization; (8) if the converted organization is a limited liability company, for all purposes of the laws of this state, the limited liability company shall be deemed to be the same organization as the converting organization, and the conversion shall constitute a continuation of the existence of the converting organization in the form of a limited liability company; (9) if the converted organization is a limited liability company, the existence of the limited liability company shall be deemed to have commenced on the date the converting organization commenced its existence in the jurisdiction in which the converting organization was first created, formed, organized, incorporated, or otherwise came into being; (10) the conversion shall not affect the choice of law applicable to matters arising prior to conversion; and (11) If the Secretary of State has assigned a unique identifying number or other designation to the converting organization and (i) the converted organization is formed pursuant to, or its internal affairs are governed by, the laws of this state or (ii) the converted organization is, within 30 days after the effective date of the conversion, registered to transact business in this state, then that unique identifying number or other designation shall continue to be assigned to the converted organization. (b) A converted organization that is a foreign entity consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state to enforce any debt, obligation, or other liability for which the converting limited liability company, or series thereof, is liable if, before the conversion, the converting limited liability company was subject to suit in this state on the debt, obligation, or other liability. If a converted organization that is a foreign entity fails to designate or maintain a registered agent, or the designated registered agent cannot with reasonable diligence be served, then service of process on that converted organization for the purposes of enforcing a debt, obligation, or other liability under this subsection may be made in the same manner and has the same consequences as provided in Section 10A-1-5.35.

(e) A dissolved series that published a notice under this section may file an application with the circuit court for the county in which the limited liability company's principal office is located in this state and if the limited liability company does not have a principal office within this state then the circuit court for the county in which the limited liability company's most recent registered office is located, for a determination of the amount and form of security to be provided for payment of claims that are contingent or have not been made known to the dissolved series or that are based on an event occurring after the effective date of the dissolution of the series but that, based on the facts known to the dissolved series, are reasonably estimated to arise after the effective date of the dissolution of the series. Provision need not be made for any claim that is or is reasonably anticipated to be barred under subsection (c). (f) Within 10 days after the filing of the application provided for in subsection (e), notice of the proceeding shall be given by the dissolved series to each potential claimant as described in subsection (e).

(i) Nothing in this section shall be deemed to extend any otherwise applicable statute of limitations. (j) If a claim has been satisfied, disposed of, or barred under Section 10A-5A-11.12, this section, or other law, the person or persons designated to wind up the affairs of a limited liability company, and the owners of the transferable interests receiving assets from the limited liability company, shall not be liable for that claim.
