# ForProfitOpAgreement
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is the operating agreement (in combination with items found in the CommonBoilerplate repo)
|
||||||
|
used by :
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Suborbital Systems Development Co LLC
|
||||||
|
* RackRental Operating Company LLC
|
||||||
|
* (and a basis for) Redwood
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(you can find the redwood agreement in its own repo )
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
No warranties, express or implied. It's worked well for us, YMWV!!!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also no build pipeline is provided. Our private repos have a build pipeline (bash script with
|
||||||
|
cat and pandoc, nothing fancy). You should be able to knock something up easily.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here's an old version of our pipeline. It should get you started.
|
||||||
|
Don't open issues re build of the contract, they will be closed WONTFIX and your LDAP account disabled

||||||
|
"**Officer**"). Any Officer so designated shall have such title and
|
||||||
|
authority and perform such duties as the Board Of Directors may, from
|
||||||
|
time to time, designate. Unless the Board Of Directors decides
|
||||||
|
otherwise, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a business
|
||||||
|
corporation, the assignment of such title shall constitute the
|
||||||
|
delegation to such Officer of the authority and duties that are normally
|
||||||
|
associated with that office, subject to any specific delegation of
|
||||||
|
authority and duties made to such Officer by the Board Of Directors.

||||||

||||||
|
time by the Board Of Directors. Any Officer may resign as such at any
|
||||||
|
time. Any Officer may be removed as such, with or without Cause, by the

||||||
|
Board Of Directors. Designation of an Officer shall not, in and of
|
||||||
|
itself, create contract rights.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

||||||
