Typically this is for an LLC to spell out who owns what. For Example, in a corporation ownership is determined by who owns what shares, if there are 100 shares and you own all of them then you own 100% of the company.

In an LLC, owners are referred to as "members" and they own a percentage of the LLC. Since the State does not ask who owns what percent, an llc operating agreement states which members own the percentage(s) of the LLC.
