Capital Contributions and Ownership Interests

Each Member shall contribute to the {{entity_type}} capital in the amounts or in kind as set forth in Schedule A attached hereto. Ownership interests shall be proportional to capital contributions, unless otherwise agreed in writing by all Members.

No Member shall be required to make any additional capital contributions without the express written consent of all Members.
