The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 5.10(a), subject to Sections 5.10(b) and (e), shall include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition. The Company may, by action of its Board, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Company with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of Managers and Officers. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement except Section 5.13 hereof, a Manager or Officer shall have no right to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.10 for any loss or damage incurred by such Manager or Officer by reason of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of such Manager or Officer or any breach of his fiduciary duty.

(b) Procedure for Indemnification of Managers and Officers. Any indemnification of a Manager or Officer of the Company under Section 5.10(a) or advance of expenses under Section 5.10(e) shall be made promptly, and in any event within 30 days after the Company’s approval of the written request of the Manager or Officer seeking indemnification. If the Company is required under the terms of this Agreement to make a determination as to whether the Manager or Officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.10 and the Company fails to make such determination within 30 days from receipt by the Company of a written request from the Manager or Officer seeking indemnification, the Company shall be deemed to have approved the request.

(c) Section Not Exclusive. The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section 5.10 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Manager or Officer may have or hereafter acquire under the Act or other applicable law, provisions of the Certificate of Formation, this Agreement, or otherwise.

(d) Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any Person who is or was a Manager, Officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Company or was serving at the request of the Company or any Affiliate thereof as a manager, officer, employee or agent against any liability asserted against such Person in any such capacity, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under this Section 5.10.

(e) Expenses. Expenses incurred by any Manager or Officer described in Section 5.10(a) in defending a Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of such Proceeding’s final disposition unless otherwise determined by the Board upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Manager or Officer to repay such amount if ultimately it shall be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board deems appropriate.

(f) Employees and Agents. Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.10 and who are or were employees or agents of the Company, or who are or were serving at the request of the Company as employees or agents of an Affiliate, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the Board.

(g) Contract Rights. The provisions of this Section 5.10 shall be deemed to be a contract right between the Company and each Manager and Officer (or any other Person entitled to indemnification under the terms contained in, and in accordance with, this Section 5.10), who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Section 5.10, the Certificate of Formation or the relevant provisions of the Act or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Section 5.10, the Certificate of Formation or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or Proceeding then existing.

(h) Merger or Consolidation. For purposes of this Section 5.10, references to “the Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting Company, any constituent company (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, managers, officers, and employees or agents, so that any Person, who is or was a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of such constituent company, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent company as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Section 5.10 with respect to the resulting or surviving Company as he or she would have had with respect to such constituent company, if its separate existence had continued.

5.11 Transactions with Managers, Officers and Affiliates. Subject to the prior approval of the Independent Manager, the Board may appoint, employ, contract, or otherwise deal with any Person, excluding the Independent Manager, but including without limitation any Manager, Officer or their respective Affiliates, and with Persons, who or which have a financial interest in any Manager or Officer or in which any Manager of Officer has a financial interest, for transacting the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ or other Affiliates’ businesses; provided, however, that the fees or other payments to any such Persons shall not be in excess of prevailing competitive rates for the transaction in question and the terms of which shall be at least as favorable to the Company as the terms available to the Company from an independent third-party in an arms-length transaction.

5.12 No Exclusive Duty to Company. The Managers shall not be required to manage the Company as the Managers’ sole and exclusive function and the Managers may have other business interests and may engage in other activities in addition to those relating to the Company, provided that it does not compete with the business of the Company or otherwise breach the Manager’s agreements with the Company. Neither the Company nor any Member or Manager shall have any right, by virtue of this Agreement, to share or participate in such other investments or activities of the Manager or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom. A Manager shall incur no liability to the Company or to any of the Members or the other Managers as a result of engaging in any other business or ventures.

(1) has caused the Class B Units issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Purchase Right (the “Issuable Units”) to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Securities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the Commission, including without limitation Regulation A, or has determined, upon the opinion of counsel, that there exists another exemption or exception from registration under the Securities Act applicable to the Issuable Units; and

(2) has caused the Issuable Units to be registered or qualified under the state securities or “blue sky” laws of the state of the Holder’s residence, or has determined, upon the opinion of counsel, that there exists an exemption or exception from registration of the Issuable Units in the applicable state.

(1) The Company agrees to prepare and file with the Commission an Offering Statement on Form 1-A, or, in the discretion of the Company, such offering document as may then be required to be filed with the SEC to seek an exemption pursuant to Section 3(b)(2) of the Act (any of the foregoing, an “Offering Statement”) with respect to the Issuable Units associated with the Purchase Period and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Offering Statement to be declared qualified by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter. Such Offering Statement shall be filed with the Commission sufficiently in advance, in the Company’s commercially reasonable judgment, to provide for such Offering Statement to be declared effective on or prior to the Purchase Period.

(2) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Offering Statement continuously qualified for at least that period beginning on the date on which the Offering Statement is declared qualified and ending on a date sufficient to allow for the expiration of the Purchase Period. During the period that the Offering Statement is qualified, the Company shall supplement or make amendments to the Offering Statement, as required by the Securities Act or other law, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such supplements and amendments declared qualified, if required, as soon as practicable after filing.

(3) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify Issuable Units under applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws as of the date of qualification of the Offering Statement or as soon as practicable thereafter, but only to the extent legally required to do so, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as the Offering Statement remains qualified with the Commission.

(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) – (c) of this Section 12:

(A) the Company shall have no obligation to file or seek qualification of an Offering Statement with the Commission if the Company has determined, upon the opinion of counsel, that another exemption or exception from registration under the Securities Act is applicable to the issuance of the Issuable Units; and

(B) the Company shall have no obligation to register or qualify the Issuable Units under any state’s securities or “blue sky” laws if the Company has determined, upon the opinion of counsel, that another exemption or exception from registration or qualification under the applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws is applicable.

The Purchase Right associated with any Holder of Class A Units may be exercised prior to the expiration of the applicable Purchase Period by tendering a Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A properly completed and duly executed by the Holder or on behalf of the Holder by the Holder’s duly authorized representative, to the Company at its principal office. The Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by payment in cash or by check payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the Unit Purchase Price multiplied by the number of Class B Units to be purchased pursuant to the Purchase Right (the “Exercise Purchase Price”). Upon receipt by the Company of the Notice of Exercise, together with the applicable Exercise Purchase Price, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Class B Units purchased pursuant to such exercise, notwithstanding that certificates representing such Class B Units may not actually be delivered to the Holder or that such Class B Units are not yet set forth on the books of the Company.

(e) No Preemptive or Other Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, or otherwise approved or granted by the Board, no Member shall have any preemptive, participation, first refusal, option, or other right to subscribe to, or acquire, any Units or other interests authorized, sold and issued by the Company. To the extent a waiver is required by the Act or any law, each Member waives any such right by its execution and delivery of this Agreement.

7.4 Return of Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member shall be entitled to a return of any part of his, her or its Capital Contribution or to receive any distribution from the Company, and there shall be no obligation to return to any Member any part of such Member’s Capital Contribution for so long as the Company continues in existence.

7.6 Guarantor Payments.

If such Guarantor is not a Member, the Manager shall cause the admission of such Person as a Member and such Member will be deemed to have made an additional Capital Contribution to the Company equal to the amount paid to the lender pursuant to the Guaranty. A “Guarantor” is a Manager, Member or an Affiliate of a Manager or Member (other than the Company) that is a guarantor of the debt of the Company, or has pledged collateral to secure such debt or has provided other credit support on behalf of the Company.

8.4 Revisions to Reflect Issuance of Units. If, in accordance with this Agreement, the Company creates, authorizes and/or issues any new Units, the Board may make such revisions to this Section VIII, the Company Register and the books and records of the Company as it deems necessary to reflect the terms, including without limitation the rights and preferences of such Additional Units relative to all other Units, as well as the issuance of such Additional Units, all without the consent or approval of any Member.

8.5 Distributions Solely to Record Holders. Each distribution in respect of Units shall be paid by the Company, directly or through the Transfer Agent or through any other Person or agent, only to the Record Holder of such Units as of the Record Date set for such distribution.

SECTION X

TRANSFERS AND THE ADDITION, SUBSTITUTION AND

WITHDRAWAL OF MEMBERS

10.1

Restrictions on Transfer; General Provisions Respecting Transfers.

(a) Units may be, in whole or in part, and directly or indirectly, sold, pledged, encumbered, mortgaged, donated, bequeathed, assigned or otherwise transferred (whether voluntarily or by operation of law) (each, a “Transfer”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, this Section 10.1. A Member seeking to Transfer Units shall provide the Board (at the Company’s principal place of business) with Notice of its intent to Transfer his, her or its Units, including without limitation a description of the proposed Transferee. The Board shall have seven (7) days to object to the Transfer. If the Board has not responded to a request to Transfer within such 7-day period, then the Board shall be deemed to have consented to such Transfer. The Board shall not withhold its consent to a Transfer unless the Board believes in good faith that the Transfer: (i) will cause the assets of the Company to become “plan assets” under ERISA, (ii) will cause the Company to violate any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, including without limitation federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state, or (iii) will cause the Company to become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. A Transfer shall not include the acquisition of Units by exercise, exchange or conversion of options or warrants to purchase, or other securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, Units. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of Units in violation of, or without full compliance with, as applicable, this Agreement shall be absolutely void ab initio and without legal effect other than to give rise to a cause of action on the part of the Company against the purported transferor. The Members acknowledge the reasonableness of the restrictions on Transfer imposed by this Agreement.

(b) Each Transferee (including any nominee, agent or representative acquiring Units for the account of another Person, who shall be subject to Section 10.1(c) below) (i) shall be admitted to the Company as a Member with respect to the Units so transferred to such Person when any such Transfer is reflected in the books and records of the Company and such Member becomes the Record Holder of the Units so transferred, (ii) shall become bound, and shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound, by the terms of this Agreement, (iii) shall be deemed to represent that he, she or it has the capacity, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and (iv) makes the consents, acknowledgements and waivers contained in this Agreement, all with or without execution of this Agreement by such Person. A Person may become a Member without the consent or approval of any of the other Members. A Person may not become a Member without acquiring Units and until such Person is reflected in the books and records of the Company as the Record Holder of such Units.

(c) With respect to any Member that holds Units for another Person's account (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation, or an agent of any of the foregoing), in whose name such Units are registered, such Member shall, in exercising the rights of a Member in respect of such Units on any matter, and unless the arrangement between such Persons provides otherwise, take all action as a Member by virtue of being the Record Holder of such Units at the direction of the Person who is the beneficial owner, and the Company shall be entitled to assume such Member is so acting without further inquiry.

(d) Any Member who has transferred his, her or its Units shall cease to be a Member upon the Transfer of all of the Member’s Units and thereafter shall have no further powers, rights, and privileges as a Member hereunder but shall, unless otherwise relieved of such obligations by written agreement of the Board or by operation of law, remain liable for all obligations and duties incurred as a Member.

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions above, a Transferee who becomes a substitute Member is liable for any obligations of his, her or its transferor to make Capital Contributions as provided in this Agreement or in the Act.

10.2 Additional Members.

(a) Additional Units Generally. Additional Units may be offered and issued pursuant to a determination by the Board to do so. A new Member’s admission to the Company will cause a pro rata reduction in each Member’s Percentage Interest unless the Board determines otherwise.

(b) Each Person issued Additional Units shall be deemed to have taken the actions and made the representations set forth in Section 10.1(b).

(c) Subscription Agreements. In addition to, and not as a limitation upon, any other provision of this Agreement, as a further condition to becoming a Member, the Board may require each Person subscribing for Additional Units to have executed and delivered a subscription agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Board.

(d) The Board shall, or shall cause the Transfer Agent to, reflect the admission of such additional Members in the Company Register.

10.3 Class A Members Redemption Rights.

(a) Partial Redemption Right. Within 30 days of the Effective Date, the Company shall be required to redeem $500,000 of Class A Units from Class A Members, pro rata, at the original investment price of $10.00 per Class A Unit (the “Partial Redemption”).

(b) Secondary Redemption Rights. After the Partial Redemption and the Split, the Class A Units held by a Class A Member may be redeemed at the option of the Class A Member in four installments equal (i) to one-quarter of such Class A Member’s Class A Units then held or (ii) all of such Class A Member’s Class A Units, whichever is less, for the Redemption Price (each a “Secondary Redemption” and collectively, the “Secondary Redemptions”).

(c) Notice and Timing of Secondary Redemptions. The Secondary Redemptions will occur in the Redemption Years. If a Class A Member wishes to participate in the Secondary Redemption for a given year, such Class A Member shall provide their Notice of Redemption (a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B) on or before June 1st of that year. Beginning in 2018 and continuing until the fourth Redemption Year, the Company’s obligation to redeem in a given year is subject to its achievement of EBITDA of at least $1,500,000 for the twelve months preceding June 30th of such year. The Company shall notify Class A Members on or before November 15th of the applicable year as to whether they have achieved EBITDA of at least $1,500,000 and provide the supporting financial statements in such notice. Such notice may be accomplished by making a public filing with the Commission via its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system. If the Company achieves an EBITDA of at least $1,500,000, the Company shall redeem the Class A Units tendered by the Class A Members on or before December 31st of such year. If a Class A Member does not tender its Class A Units in a Redemption Year, such Class A Member’s Secondary Redemption right with respect to those Class A Units that would have been redeemable in such Redemption Year shall expire and be void.

(d) Redemption Price; Payment. The redemption of a Class A Member’s Class A Units shall be effected upon the payment by the Company of a cash sum equal to $6.25 per Class A Unit redeemed in an applicable Redemption Year (the “Redemption Price”).

(e) Effect of Transfer. The redemption rights contained in this Section 10.3 shall inure only to the benefit of Class A Units held by Class A Members on the Effective Date. In the event that Class A Units are transferred following the Effective Date, the redemption rights associated with those Class A Units shall immediately expire and be void.

(f) Effect of Redemption. Immediately upon payment in full of the Redemption Price to a Class A Member, the number of Class A Units of such Class A Member being redeemed shall be immediately deemed canceled. If the entirety of such Class A Member’s Class A Units have been redeemed, then such Class A Member will automatically cease to be a Class A Member and will no longer have any right, title or interest in the Company as a Class A Member. The exercise of the rights set forth in this Section 10.3 shall in no way affect the right, title or interest of a Class A Member as a Class B Member or other owner of Units in the Company, including the ownership of, or the right to exercise, any Purchase Right. The Board, or the Transfer Agent, as the case may be, shall reflect the foregoing transactions in the Company Register.

10.4 Company Rights to Convert Class A Units.

(a) If Class A Units remain outstanding following the fourth Redemption Year, then the Company shall have the right to convert the remaining outstanding Class A Units into Class B Units at the Company’s discretion, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.4.

(b) At any time following the fourth Redemption Year, the Company may elect to convert all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Class A Units into Class B Units.

(c) As of the Conversion Date, each Class A Member’s Class A Units will be canceled, and such Class A Member shall be issued Class B Units equal to such Class A Member’s number of Class A Units owned immediately prior to conversion. The Class A Members shall then cease to be Class A Members of the Company and shall be admitted as Class B Members of the Company with no further action required. The Company’s exercise of its conversion rights under this Section 10.4 shall in no way affect the right, title, or interest of a Class A Member as a Class B Member or other owner of Units in the Company, including the ownership of, or the right to exercise, any Purchase Right. The Board, or the Transfer Agent, as the case may be, shall reflect the foregoing transactions in the Company Register.

10.5 Registration and Transfer of Units.

(a) The Board shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, by the Transfer Agent in whole or in part, the Company Register.

(b) The names and addresses of Record Holders as they appear in the Company Register, as applicable, shall be the official list of Record Holders of the Units for all purposes. The Company and the Board shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder as the Member with respect to any Units and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such Units on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company or the Board shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law or any applicable rule or regulation to which the Company is subject. Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring and/or holding Units, as between the Company on the one hand, and such other Person on the other, such representative Person shall be the Member with respect to such Units upon becoming the Record Holder and have the rights and obligations of a Member hereunder as, and to the extent, provided herein, including Section 10.1(c).

(c) Upon the receipt of proper Transfer instructions from the Record Holder of uncertificated Units and provided that the Board has not objected to such Transfer in accordance with Section 10.1, such Transfer shall be recorded in the Company Register. No Transfers of Units represented by Unit Certificates shall be recognized or recorded in the Company Register until the Unit Certificates representing the Units to be transferred are surrendered for registration of transfer and are accompanied by a transfer application, duly executed by the transferee, indicating the identity of the transferee and such other information as may be required by the Board (the “Transfer Application”). Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Units represented by Unit Certificates and receipt of a duly executed Transfer Application, the appropriate Officers of the Company, and the Transfer Agent, if applicable, will countersign and deliver, in the name of the transferee or transferees, one or more new Unit Certificates evidencing the transferred Units.

10.6 Reserved.

10.7 Unit Certificates.

(a) The Company may, in the discretion of the Board, upon the issuance of Units to a Record Holder of the Units, issue such Record Holder a certificate evidencing the Units being issued, in form to be determined by the Board (a “Unit Certificate”).
