10/18/13 2:14:04 PM This portion of the website is made available by Plymouth Energy, LLC ("Plymouth Energy") to allow the posting of nonbinding offers or indications of interest for the sale or purchase of units of Plymouth Energy in order to provide a means for the initiation of contact between, and the matching of, members who have an interest in selling any of their units and persons who have interest in buying units.
The availability of this matching service and your use of this matching service is subject to all of the following:
1. Plymouth Energy may amend or modify this matching service, and suspend or discontinue this matching service for any period of time, at any time and for any reason, and without any notice. For example, Plymouth Energy may amend this matching service to require the payment of a fee to Plymouth Energy for the use of this matching service. As another example, Plymouth Energy may suspend this matching service for the remainder of any tax year of Plymouth Energy if 10% of the outstanding units have been transferred during that taxable year.
2. Plymouth Energy reserves the right, for any reasonable cause, to (i) prohibit any person from posting any sell or buy offers in this matching service or from selling or purchasing any units from the use of any information from this matching service, or (ii) remove, without notice, all of the posted sale information or the posted buy information of any person. "Reasonable cause" includes the person (i) breaching any agreement the person enters into to sell or buy any units or the person engaging in any misrepresentations or other misleading acts or omissions in connection with any sale or purchase of any units; (ii) breaching the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Plymouth Energy in connection with any sale or purchase of any units; or (iii) using this matching service in any manner that could be argued to make the units of Plymouth Energy to be readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof.
3. Plymouth Energy will not provide any information or otherwise participate in any negotiations for the sale or purchase of any units, and all sales and purchases must be based on the seller's and buyer's own independent investigation, knowledge and belief. No information on Plymouth Energy's website is provided for purposes of providing information for any sales or purchases of any units, so you cannot rely on any information on Plymouth Energy's website as a basis for making any decision to sell or buy any units.
4. All sales and purchases must comply with the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Plymouth Energy; and in particular Article 9 of the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement. For example, all sales and purchases of units are subject to the approval of the managers of Plymouth Energy under Section 9.1 of the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement. Given that manager approval is necessary for all sales, you should not exchange any funds or otherwise finalize any sale or purchase of any units unless and until the approval of the managers has been obtained.
As another example, the seller and buyer in any transaction will be required to provide Plymouth Energy with an executed and properly completed unit assignment application, and the seller will also be required to provide Plymouth Energy with the certificate or certificates for the units being sold, properly endorsed for transfer.
You should review the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement before submitting a unit assignment application and any certificates for units to Plymouth Energy.
