LLC.1.1.080 Tribe as Owner

(a) The Tribe shall form or become an Owner of a Tribally-owned LLC formed under this Code only upon a tribal resolution by the Tribal Governing Board.

(b) If the Tribe or a Tribal Entity is an Owner of an LLC formed under this Code, any action which the Tribe is required or permitted to take with respect to any vote, approval, consent, appointment, direction, or other matter shall be taken as specified in Section LLC.1.9.120 of this Code or, as to actions related to the managers of a manager-managed LLC, as stated in the LLC's Operating Agreement approved by the Tribal Council.

(c) If the Tribe is the sole Owner of an LLC formed under this Code, such Tribally-owned LLC shall possess all of the privileges and immunities of the Tribe, including the Tribe's sovereign immunity from suit except to the extent otherwise provided in its Operating Agreement.

(d) If the Tribe or a Tribal Entity is an Owner with a Majority in Interest in an LLC formed under this Code, such LLC may possess the privileges and immunities of the Tribe, including sovereign immunity from suit, to the extent allowed by Federal law, this Code or its Operating Agreement.

(e) In no event shall any manager not an Owner of an LLC in which the Tribe is an Owner, bind the Tribe in any manner; provided that the Tribe's interest as an Owner may be bound by manager or Owner actions as stated in this Code and the Operating Agreement of the LLC.

(f) Nothing contained in this Code shall be construed as creating any liability or waiving of sovereign immunity of the Tribe in any manner; provided that the assets of the LLC in which the Tribe holds an interest may be subject to liabilities and claims unless otherwise provided herein. In no event shall any action taken by the Tribe as Owner concerning the exercise of any right or privilege or discharge of any duty with respect to an interest in an LLC be construed as a waiver of immunity or creation of a liability on the part of the Tribe separate and apart from its interests as an Owner of the LLC.

(g) For all Tribally-owned limited liability companies, the additional provisions of Part 9 of this Code shall apply.
