A limited liability company shall have two one or more members at the time of its formation.

Except as otherwise set forth in the articles of organization or a member control agreement, any other assignment of any governance rights is effective only if all the members, other than the member seeking to make the assignment, approve the assignment by unanimous written consent. Subject to subdivision 6, a member may grant a security interest in a complete membership interest or governance rights without obtaining the consent required by this subdivision. However, a secured party may not take or assign ownership of governance rights without first obtaining the consent required by this subdivision. If a secured party has a security interest in both a member's financial rights and governance rights, including a security interest in a complete membership interest, this subdivision's requirement that the secured party obtain consent applies only to taking or assigning ownership of the governance rights and does not apply to taking or assigning ownership of the financial rights.

A member control agreement may waive, in whole or in part, a member's dissenting rights under sections 322B.383 and 322B.386, but may not waive dissenters' rights under section 322B.873, subdivision 2, clause (1).
