(a)Board-Managed. With respect to a board-managed LLC, the election or appointment of a person as a manager or agent does not, of itself, create contract rights. An LLC may enter into a contract with a manager or agent for any period of time if, in the board of governors‘ judgment, the contract would be in the best interests of the LLC. The fact that the contract may be for a term longer than the terms of the governors who authorized or approved the contract does not make the contract void or voidable.
