Operating Agreement
An Operating Agreement governs internal management and ownership rights of a limited liability company. This playbook highlights voting procedures, capital contributions, and dissolution mechanics.
Force Majeure
Negotiation strategy
Ensure the clause includes specific events like 'acts of God,' 'war,' 'terrorism,' and 'natural disasters.' Verify notice requirements specify a reasonable timeframe (e.g., 10 days) and include mitigation obligations.
Negotiate to adjust the notice period or list of events to align with your operational realities, ensuring core protections remain intact.
Essential elements
1
Force Majeure Events
Events beyond reasonable control.
2
Notice Requirements
Timely notification of events.
3
Mitigation Obligations
Efforts to minimize impact.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if the clause lacks specific events or reasonable notice periods.
EDIT
Reject if the clause unduly favors one party or lacks mutual protections.
ADD
Add language for termination rights after prolonged events.
PRO TIP
Ensure the clause reflects the company's risk management policies and operational realities.
Real-world examples
FAVORABLE
Preferred Clause
"Force Majeure Event" means any event or circumstance, or combination of events or circumstances, that is beyond the reasonable control of the affected party, including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, civil commotion, labor disputes, natural disasters, governmental actions, and any other similar events.
NEUTRAL
Fallback Clause
If negotiation requires, adjust the notice period or list of events to align with the counterparty's concerns, ensuring core protections remain intact.
UNFAVORABLE
Unbalanced Clause
"Force Majeure Event" includes only natural disasters, excluding other critical events like war or terrorism.
Alternative scenarios & positions
High-Risk Projects
In high-risk projects, ensure the clause covers industry-specific risks and includes detailed mitigation plans.
Long-Term Contracts
For long-term contracts, consider adding termination rights for prolonged force majeure events to protect against indefinite obligations.
Cross-Border Agreements
In cross-border agreements, account for varying legal interpretations of force majeure and include comprehensive notice requirements.
