Presumably, in this context, such duties would include a duty to promote the best interests of the LLC, to be candid in disclosing material information such as an offer of purchase, an obligation not to compete, and an obligation to refrain from grossly negligent conduct or, put another way, a duty to exercise reasonable care subject to one's business judgment. …" @default.
