What is an Amendment To LLC Operating Agreement?
An amendment to an LLC operating agreement is a formal change to the legal document that governs the operations of a limited liability company. An LLC's members may want to amend their operating agreement if they decide to add more members, remove member units, or make other changes in order to keep up with changing business conditions.
Amendments to LLC operating agreements can also be necessary when there are changes in state law that affect the company’s tax status or structure. For example, if an LLC decides it wants to taxed as an S-Corporation (a form of small business ownership that offers some unique tax advantages), then it might need an amendment.
An amendment is a formal alteration or addition to an existing document. Amending the terms of your LLC allows for changes that are not covered by default rules set forth by state law.

7.2 No Additional Capital Contributions. No additional capital contributions shall be required under this Agreement. It is hereby acknowledged that MTT has become a member of the Company in part in reliance on GFES honoring its obligations under the Installation Agreement and the Maintenance Agreement, each effective as of September 22, 2011, by and between GFES and the Company.

Furthermore, for the avoidance of doubt, if a Default occurs under the terms of and as defined in the indenture governing the Notes or a default occurs under the terms pursuant to which any bank or other financial institution shall extend secured credit to GFES, the collateral agent or any other agent acting on behalf of the Note holders or such bank or financial institution (or any designees of such agent), will be admitted as and will become a Member of the Company without any further vote or any other type of approval by the Member or Members at such time and without the necessity of executing and delivering any instruments contemplated by Article 15, including this Agreement.”
