The following comprises confidential information regarding the offering of securities of Pipiles

Before deducting expenses of the offering, payable by the Fund, as described in the section USE OF PROCEEDS
below.
RISKS OF INVESTMENT, NOTICES, & REPRESENTATIONS

Pipiles LLC (“the Fund”) reserves the right to reject any offer to purchase interests in The Fund,
in whole or in part, for any reason. The information provided related to the Fund, and the
Offering is not to be used, in whole or in part, for any other purpose. Any reproduction or
distribution of any information provided related to the Fund or its prospects, in whole or in part,
or the disclosure of any such information is prohibited without the prior written consent of the
Fund.

No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made by the Fund or its manager as to the
accuracy or completeness of the information provided herein, and nothing contained in the
information is, or shall be relied upon as, a promise or representation by the Fund or its
representatives as to the future.

In making an investment decision, prospective investors must rely on their own examination of
the Funds’ prospects and the terms of the Offering, including the merits and risks involved.
These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, any federal, state, or foreign securities commission, or regulatory authority, nor has
any authority passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this memorandum. Any representation to
the contrary is a criminal offense.

An investment in these securities is suitable only for investors who have sufficient knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the merits and risks of the
investment and who have the financial means to bear the economic risks of this investment.
Pipiles LLC is not offering securities through this memorandum or otherwise to any person who
does not provide information demonstrating that the person meets the suitability standards for an
investment in the securities. Pipiles LLC will not sell any securities to a person unless such
person confirms that they are familiar with this Offering and understand its terms, risks, and
merits before such person invests.

Certain projections of operations (the “projections”) prepared by the Fund are included in the
information attached. The projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or
compliance with published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or being reviewed by
independent accountants. Accordingly, no opinion or other form of assurance is expressed. In
addition, the projections were based on a number of assumptions and are further subject to
significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Fund’s and its
manager’s control. There is no assurance that they will be realized. Actual results may vary
significantly from those set forth herein or in any projections hereinafter provided. The
distribution of the projections should not be relied upon in purchasing the securities offered

1
hereby. In particular, this memorandum does not undertake to provide the detailed disclosures
required in connection with a registration of securities under the Securities Act. It is expected
that a person contemplating an investment in the proposed transaction will conduct an
independent investigation and analysis in the exercise of its own due diligence, and a decision to
invest should be based solely on such independent investigation and analysis.

Prospective investors will be required to make representations with respect to their net worth or
income and to represent, among other things, that they are familiar with and understand the terms
of this Offering and have all requisite authority to make such investment.

Prospective investors should not construe the contents of this memorandum as investment, tax,
legal, or accounting advice. This memorandum and the other documents delivered herewith, as
well as the nature of an investment in the securities offered hereby, should be reviewed by each
prospective investor and such investor’s investment, tax, legal, accounting, and other relevant
advisors.

These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under
the securities laws of any state and are being offered and sold in reliance on exemptions from the
registration requirements of those laws. As a result, the securities are subject to restrictions on
the transfer thereof imposed by federal and state securities laws. In addition, there is no public
market for the membership interest, and none is expected to develop. The securities should
therefore be purchased only for purposes of long-term investment. The units are subject to
restriction on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted
under said act and such laws pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom and except as
otherwise permitted in accordance with the Fund’s operating agreement.

This Offering involves certain substantial risks (see "risk factors"), and investors should consider
if they are able to bear the loss of their investment. Investors should be aware that they will be
required to bear the financial risks of their investment for an indefinite period of time. The
manager and affiliates will derive substantial benefits from this Offering and from the business
of the company (see "ownership interest of manager and management fees").

This memorandum does not make an offer to you and does not make an offer or solicitation in
any state or jurisdiction in which an offer or solicitation is not authorized. The distribution of
confidential information provided to potential investors related to the Fund and the offer or sale
of the securities may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. Persons into whose possess the
information related to this Offering or any of the securities must inform themselves about and
observe any such restrictions. Each prospective purchaser of the securities must comply with all
applicable laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, or sells

2
the securities or possesses or distributes any of the information related to the Fund and the
Offering and must obtain any consent, approval or permission required by it for the purchase,
offer or sale by it of the securities under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to
which it is subject or in which it makes such purchases, offers or sales, and the Fund shall not
have any responsibility therefore.

No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations other than
those contained in this memorandum or contained in a written statement furnished pursuant to
the undertaking set forth in the next paragraph, in connection with this Offering, and if given or
made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by
Pipiles LLC.

Neither the delivery of this memorandum nor any sales hereunder shall, under any circumstance,
create any implication that there has been no change in the information contained herein since
the respective dates at which such information is given herein or since the date hereof. The date
of this memorandum is March 15, 2023.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND

FUND AND PURPOSE

Pipiles LLC was formed on July 25, 2018 for the purpose of investing in real estate in the
Columbus Ohio MSA which meets the investment criteria established by the Manager,
specifically the following properties within the following LLC.

Pipiles, LLC:
3723 - 3724 Abney Rd, Columbus OH, 43207
3349 - 3361 E Broad, Columbus OH 43213
1274-1276 Lockbourne Rd, Columbus, OH 43206

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND CRITERIA

Management has chosen Real Estate located in the Columbus Ohio MSA for the investment of
the Fund's funds. The Fund’s objective is to effectively deploy the net proceeds of this Offering
in an asset that is designed to:

17
● Provide Members with a Preferred Distribution with an overall IRR of 15%; and
● Ultimately provide Members with a targeted full return of capital contributions with
interest paid monthly.
Columbus, Ohio was chosen as an effective location to deploy capital to meet the above
objectives because:
● Columbus is the 15th largest city in the United States and is home to more than two
million people. It is the fastest growing metropolitan area in the Midwest. The Columbus
Region is located within a 10-hour drive of 47 percent of the U.S population and is in a
prime location for international dealings.
● Columbus has become the preferred choice for many regional and national headquarters.
Columbus is home to 15 Fortune 1000 headquarters—seventh among major metros. No
single industry sector represents more than 18 percent of employment, resulting in an
exceptionally stable economy.

The Fund’s strategy will be to produce attractive risk-adjusted returns by managing, operating,
and repositioning of strategic and undervalued single-family and multi-family assets located
within certain target markets. The Manager has identified multi-family assets as described above,
but the Manager may be required to invest in substantially similar, but not identical to the
property located at the following properties: in order to meet the Fund’s objectives.

The Manager believes that Fund performance will be enhanced by focusing its performance
strategies that ensure the security of the Fund’s assets.

Management Fees Property Management Fees. The Manager and/or its

24
affiliates shall be entitled to receive market rate
property management fees in the amount of 10.00% of
Gross Income for all properties owned by Pipiles LLC
and be reimbursed for all out-of-pocket costs, to be
paid monthly, for investments owned and operated by
the Fund. In addition, the Manager and/or its affiliates
shall be entitled to receive market-rate fees and be
reimbursed for all out-of-pocket costs for any
construction and/or construction management fees
with respect to such services provided to each such
property.

Asset Acquisition Fee. The Manager or its affiliate


shall be entitled to a $26,660.00 Asset Acquisition Fee
for the formation of the business plan. The Asset
Acquisition Fee is based on the reasonable FMV of the
Asset in question and payable at the closing of the
Offering (June 30th, 2023), or at such later time, in
arrears, as the Manager may determine in its sole
discretion.

Special Purpose Vehicles Where the Manager deems it appropriate, the Fund
shall use special purpose entities as subsidiaries,
including corporations, limited liability companies,
and limited partnerships to make and hold investments.
The Manager may also cause the Fund to invest
through corporations, limited liability companies,
limited partnerships, joint ventures (both with third
parties and affiliates of the Manager), or other
arrangements in which the Fund has an economic
interest and where such arrangements are reasonably
expected to preserve in all material respects the overall
economic relationship of the Members.

whole or in part (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or

transferability of Interests is also restricted under the

Fund Structure The Fund expects to be classified as a “partnership”


for federal income tax purposes. The Fund will own all
its investments substantially directly or indirectly
through one or more holding companies. The Fund
does not anticipate holding any of its investments
directly or indirectly through a subsidiary Real Estate
investment trust but may do so if, in the Manager’s
sole discretion, it is in the Fund’s best interest to do so.

Income Tax Considerations Provided that the Fund is treated as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes, the Fund generally will
not be subject to federal income tax directly, but rather
each member of the Fund will be required to include in
computing its federal income tax liability its allocable
share of the items of income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit of the Fund, regardless of whether any
distributions have been made by the Fund to that
Member.

The Fund will not implement procedures to avoid or


minimize the impact of “unrelated business taxable
income” (or “UBTI”) to tax-exempt Investors.

Exculpation; Exculpation. The Manager, its affiliates, officers,


Indemnification employees, members, managers, and agents (the
“Indemnified Parties”) shall not have any liability to
the Fund or its Members for any action (or inaction)
which is undertaken (or omitted) in connection with
such Indemnified Party’s performance of its duties
under the Operating Agreement or to the Manager or
its affiliates in connection with the Fund’s business

26
unless such act or omission was performed or omitted
fraudulently or in bad faith.

Indemnification. The Indemnified Parties shall be


indemnified by the Fund against losses, judgments,
expenses, etc., with respect to acts and omissions taken
on behalf of the Fund, unless such act or omission was
primarily attributable to an act or omission constituting
fraud or bad faith. All indemnities shall be paid, first,
from the Fund’s assets and, if the assets of the Fund
are insufficient to fully satisfy any such obligation,
then from the return of member distributions (on a pari
passu basis and in proportion to Member’s respective
Capital Contributions). The Fund will be obligated and
liable to pay indemnification obligations pursuant to
the governing documents for any subsidiaries
established by the Fund, and the Fund shall make
disbursements (on such pro rata basis) to such
subsidiaries as necessary to pay such indemnification
obligations.

Expense Advancement. Indemnification expenses shall


be advanced and paid when due (even if prior to a final
determination of availability of indemnification),
provided that (i) the claimant is not a Member (other
than the Manager or any affiliate of the Manager with
respect to any interest it owns as a Member) and (ii)
the claimant covenants to repay such funds advanced if
it is finally determined that indemnification is not
available for such claimant.

Insurance. At the Fund’s expense, the Manager may


cause the Fund to purchase insurance coverage for acts
for which indemnification would be available,
including coverage for the Indemnified Parties.
Reliance on Professionals. The Manager, its officers,
and Affiliates shall have no liability for acts taken
upon the advice of counsel that such acts were
permissible under governing documents and applicable

27
law. To the extent any decision or determination has
been made in reliance upon such advice, such decision
or determination shall be deemed to have been made
without bad faith or fraud for purposes of applying the
provisions of the Operating Agreement.

Member Withdrawal Rights No Member may withdraw from the Fund without the
Manager’s written consent. The Manager has the sole
discretion to withhold any consent if it is not properly
requested. In order to withdraw from the Fund, the
Member must give formal written notice to the
Manager requesting consent to withdraw from the
Fund. Once this formal written notice is received, a
period of 90 calendar days will be effective for the
return of the subscribed capital to the Member.
Monthly Interest payments will be honored until the
time of the Formal Exit from the project within the 90
calendar days stipulated in the formal acceptance of
the withdrawal notice.

Books and Records Members or their authorized representatives shall at all


reasonable times and for any purpose reasonably
related to the business and affairs of the Fund and their
interest therein have access to the Fund’s books and
records.

Reports The Fund’s books shall be on a cash basis for book


purposes. Financial Statements will be prepared
annually within 120 days following the close of each
taxable year and will be available upon request.
Reports regarding the individual investments will be
periodically provided to the Members.

Side Letters The Manager may, in its sole discretion, enter into
agreements on behalf of the Fund that modify or
supplement a Member’s rights and obligations with
respect to its investment in the Fund (each such
agreement, a “Side Letter”). The Manager may grant
concessions to any unaffiliated investor in Side Letters

28
in its sole and absolute discretion.

Amendments The Manager, without the approval of any Members,


may amend the Operating Agreement in order to: (a)
add to the Manager’s duties or surrender any right or
power granted to it; (b) cure ambiguities, make
corrections, comply with changes in the law, or
otherwise clarify terms; (c) delete or add any provision
requested by any federal or state “blue sky” agency to
the extent deemed to be for the benefit or protection of
some or all of the members; (d) effectuate the
admission or withdrawal of Members in accordance
with the Fund’s terms; or (e) improve, upon the advice
of counsel, the Fund’s position in (i) satisfying 1940
Act exemptions, (ii) qualifying for ERISA plan asset
exemptions, (iii) sustaining its tax positions or those of
any of its members (including with respect to UBTI),
(iv) avoiding publicly traded partnership status, or (v)
preventing the Members’ final capital accounts from
deviating from the intended priority cash distributions
described in “Distributions” above.

The Manager, upon the approval of Members


representing at least a majority of the Capital
Commitments of the Members of the Fund, may
amend the Operating Agreement in any manner other
than to: (a) increase the capital commitments of a
Member; or (b) alter the economic interest of a
Member in the Fund from that described in
“Distributions” above, unless the Manager obtains the
consent of such Member.

Use of Professionals and The Manager may, in its sole discretion, engage
Service Providers affiliated professionals and service providers or
outside professionals and service providers on behalf
of and at the expense of the Fund on arm’s-length
terms. When affiliates are engaged, the transaction
shall be on arm’s- length terms. No professional or
other service providers will be disqualified from

29
providing services to the Fund or its affiliates because
of the provision of services by such professional or
service provider to the Manager or its affiliates,
whether related to the Fund’s business or other
activities.

Governing Law The Fund’s Operating Agreement will be governed by


the laws of the State of Ohio.

FUND STRUCTURE

The Manager has endeavored to structure this Fund in a way that balances the Manager’s need
for flexibility, autonomy, and control with respect to Fund policies and investment decisions with
the Investor’s natural desire for safety, oversight, and transparency. It has considered the Fund’s
fee structure, administrative procedures, and third-party service providers, including Fund
administration and accounting services, and have attempted to create a beneficial and proper
alignment of interests between the Manager and the Investors, but there is no guarantee that
interests will be aligned.

The Fund is organized as an Ohio limited liability company. The Fund is making an offering that
is exempt from registration under Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the “Act” or “Securities Act”). The Fund is open to both United States and non-U.S.
Investors. If the Fund has non-U.S. Investors, then it will be subject to U.S. tax withholding
obligations with respect to such Investors. Each Investor in the Fund must be an “accredited
investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D or be a non-U.S. Investor.
Some of the ways Investors can qualify are:
● For natural person Investors, having a net worth of at least $500,000, excluding the value
of a primary residence; or
● For natural person Investors, having an adjusted gross income of at least $200,000 for the
last two years (or $300,000 with a spouse); or
● For natural person Investors, holding, in good standing, a Series 7, Series 82, or Series 65
license; or
● For entity Investors, having assets of at least $5,000,000, or
● For entity Investors, having all of the owners of the entity otherwise be Accredited
Investors.

30
Investor Suitability Standards

The Offering and sales of the Investments offered hereby will be made only to persons and/or
entities who meet or exceed certain suitability standards which the Fund has adopted for the
purpose of determining who will be permitted to invest. The Manager will accept or reject
Subscription Agreements from prospective Investors at its sole discretion. The Manager reserves
the right to reject any Subscription Agreement for any reason.

Investment Options

Investors shall acquire equity ownership in the Fund and shall become Members of the Fund,
subject to the terms of the Operating Agreement, upon executing a Subscription Agreement and
a joinder to the Operating Agreement, payment of all amounts set forth in the Subscription
Agreement, and acceptance by Manager of each Investor’s subscription.

By executing a Subscription Agreement, an Investor unconditionally and irrevocably makes a


commitment to contribute capital in accordance with the terms set forth in the Subscription
Agreement and Operating Agreement.

The Fund seeks to raise the Maximum Offering of up to $1,000,000.00 in Investor capital. The
Manager may or may not raise the full amount during the lifetime of the Fund. The minimum
investment is $15,000.00, which amounts may be adjusted at the sole discretion of the Manager.

FUND MANAGEMENT

Pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement (See Attachment A "Operating Agreement"),
the Fund will be managed by Kamehameha Capital LLC, a (“Manager”).

The Operating Agreement with the Fund provides the Manager will not be liable for any
monetary damages to the Fund for any breach of duties, except for the receipt of financial benefit
to which the Manager is not entitled, voting for or assenting to a distribution to Members in
violation of the Operating Agreement or state law, or knowing violation of law.

The Manager employs a strategy of investing in assets that are well-selected, well-managed, and
disposed of at an optimal time. Our principal targeted assets are investments in properties if

31
compelling opportunities arise that present superior opportunities for above-market returns, that
have quality construction, and desirable locations which can attract quality tenants.

To this end, the Manager may:


● Co-invest in a similar property or properties in quality locations in the Manager’s target
markets, where the Manager can add significant value through the application of its
strategy;
● Buy an asset at below-market prices, or at market prices where there is sufficient upside
potential to obtain above-market returns over the long term;
● Make physical alterations and other improvements to the asset, where the Manager can
achieve significant benefit with minimal capital outlay; and
● Through third-party management, increase the rents to increase the overall value of the
property.

principals:

RISKS OF INVESTMENT

THIS OFFERING IS SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.

The purchase of the Units will involve a number of significant risk factors. Therefore,
Prospective Investors are urged to retain legal, investment, and tax advisors to assist them in
evaluating these risks. The Fund will assist prospective investors and their advisors by answering
such questions as they may have, making available to them, upon request, such information as is
in possession of the Fund or attainable by it without unreasonable expense or effort. Prospective
Investors should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all the other
information, including all other risk factors and conflicts of interest relating to an investment in
the Fund, including those set forth in this Memorandum, before deciding to subscribe for

32
Interests. Because of these factors, as well as other risks inherent in any investment, there can be
no assurance that the Fund will be able to meet its investment objectives or otherwise can
successfully carry out its investment program. The risks described below are not the only risks
relating to an investment in the Fund, and other risks also may adversely affect an investment in
the Fund. In addition to the Above Risks, businesses are often subject to risks not foreseen or
fully appreciated by management. In reviewing this offering memorandum, potential investors
should keep in mind other possible risks that could be important.

The information in this Memorandum (including financial information and information


concerning prior transactions) has been obtained from published and non-published sources,
including the management of certain entities that participated in such prior transactions. Certain
information contained herein has been obtained from published sources prepared by third parties.
While such information is believed to be reliable for the purposes used herein, none of the Fund,
its affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, employees, or
owners assumes any responsibility for the accuracy of such information.

GENERAL INVESTMENT RISKS

Business Risks.
The success of the Fund depends upon the ability of the Manager to identify, select and
consummate an investment that will offer superior returns. The availability of such opportunities
will depend, in part, upon general market conditions. The business of identifying and structuring
a transaction is highly competitive and involves a high degree of uncertainty. Even if the
Manager identifies an attractive investment opportunity, there can be no assurance that the Fund
will be permitted to invest in such opportunities. As a result, it is possible that the Fund might
never be fully invested. However, Members will be required to pay management fees based on
the entire amount of their Capital Contributions. No assurance can be given that the Fund’s
investment will generate any income or will appreciate in value.

Past Performance Not a Predictor of Future Results.


The track record of the Manager, its affiliates, and any real estate companies they have managed
should not be assumed to imply or predict, directly or indirectly, any level of future performance
of the Fund. The performance of the Fund is dependent on future events and is, therefore,
inherently uncertain. Past performance cannot be relied upon to predict future events for a
variety of reasons, including, without limitation, local and national economic circumstances,
supply and demand characteristics, degrees of competition, and other circumstances pertaining to
capital markets.

33
Inability to Achieve Targeted Rate of Return.
The Fund will make an investment based on the Manager’s estimates or projections of internal
rates of return and current returns, which in turn are based on, among other considerations,
assumptions regarding the performance of the investment, the amount and terms of available
financing and the manner and timing of a disposition, including possible asset recovery and
remediation strategies, all of which are subject to significant uncertainty. In addition, events or
conditions that have not been anticipated may occur and may have a significant effect on the
actual rate of return received on the investment.

Lack of Operating History.


The Fund is a newly organized entity and, accordingly, has no operating history upon which
prospective investors can evaluate the Fund’s likely performance. Although the Fund’s
management team has experience in acquiring, developing, asset managing, operating, financing,
and disposing of real estate, there can be no assurance that the performance of those activities
will be reflective or indicative of the future performance of this Fund.

Competition for Investments.


The activity of identifying, completing, and realizing an attractive acquisition of a real estate
asset in the Fund’s targeted property types is highly competitive. The Fund will compete for
these opportunities with many other real estate investors, including public and private REITs,
other real estate funds, and institutional investors. These competitors may have more experience,
more resources and may be willing to accept more risk than the Fund. This competition may
increase prices, reduce returns, and eliminate investment opportunities.

There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to locate and acquire investments that
satisfy its investment objectives.

Lack of Diversification.
The Fund will not have a diversified portfolio and potentially may make a single investment. The
lack of diversification of the Fund investments may impact the Fund in several different ways.
The Fund’s investment, while limited to real estate in the United States, will focus on the Central
and Southeastern portion of the U.S. This lack of geographic diversification could increase the
risk of the Fund depending on pricing and other economic factors in those parts of the country. In
addition, a lack of diversification increases risk because the aggregate return of the Fund will be
contingent on the performance of a single investment.

34
Investment Policies and Strategies.
The Fund may not meet its stated investment strategy and goals, and the Manager has the right to
vary from its strategy and policies if it determines it is in the best interests of the Fund, subject to
the terms of the Operating Agreement.

Investor Failure to Fund Capital Commitment.


If one or more Investors fail to fund their capital commitment obligations when due, the Fund’s
ability to complete its investment program or otherwise to continue operations may be
substantially impaired. A default by one or more Investors who have made Commitments could
limit the Fund’s opportunities for investment and reduce returns to the Fund.

Reliance on Key Persons.


The ability of the Manager to manage the Fund’s affairs currently depends on the management
team and the Manager’s principals. There can be no assurance that the members of the
management team will remain affiliated throughout the term of the Fund or otherwise can
continue to carry on their current duties throughout such term. The inability to recruit and hire
replacement or additional key personnel as needed could have a material adverse effect on the
Fund’s operations.

Co-Investments.
This Fund may co-invest with other parties, including the Manager, its affiliates, any other funds
sponsored by the Manager or its affiliates when and on such terms as the Manager deems
appropriate, including in the event additional capital is needed or desired to support or enhance
the investment property. In such co-investment transactions, the terms of investment of the Fund,
the Manager, or its affiliates may not be identical and may include situations where the Manager
or its affiliates receive returns or fees from such other parties which differ from those received
from the Fund. Co-investment opportunities may not be determined through arm’s length
negotiations with the Fund. The Fund will not be obligated to provide co-investment
opportunities (or provide any concessions granted to any other Investor upon becoming a
Member) to any Investor because such opportunity was made available to any other Investor.

General Economic and Other Conditions.


The Fund’s property value may be adversely affected from time to time by such matters as
changes in general economic, industrial, and commercial conditions, changes in taxes, prices and
costs, and other factors of a general nature that are beyond the control of the Fund. The value is

35
also impacted by the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. mortgage market, and global
economic issues.

No Right to Remove the Manager.


The Investors have no right to remove the Manager.

Absence of Recourse against the Manager.


The Operating Agreement limits the circumstances under which the Manager, and its respective
affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, members, Members, shareholders, employees,
and consultants or agents can be held liable to the Fund or its Investors. Thus, Investors may
have a more limited right of action in certain cases than they would in the absence of this
provision.

Lack of Control by Investors.


Investors will not have an opportunity to evaluate the investments made by the Fund or the terms
of any investment. Investors should expect to rely solely on the ability of the Manager to make
an appropriate investment for the Fund and to appropriately manage and dispose of the
investment. The business of the Fund will generally be managed by the Manager, who will have
significant discretion in managing the Fund’s business. The rights and obligations of Investors
will be subject to the limitations set forth in the Operating Agreement, and except for the rights
specifically reserved to them by the Operating Agreement and applicable law, Investors will have
no part in the management and control of the Fund. Moreover, the Manager is under no
obligation to call or hold any meeting. The Manager may call a meeting of the Fund in such
number and at such times as Manager deems advisable. Members holding at least sixty (60%) of
the Fund’s ownership Interests may call meetings of the Fund in accordance with the terms of the
Operating Agreement. Further, any action taken by Members, whether or not in a meeting, must
be approved in writing by the Manager.

Lack of Marketability
There are significant restrictions on the ability to sell or transfer an Interest in the Fund. There is
no public market for the Interests, and, in addition, the Interests are being sold in reliance upon
exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Thus,
the Interests may not be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities law, if so required, or unless an opinion of counsel or other evidence
satisfactory to the Manager is obtained that states that registration is not required. In addition,
any sale, transfer, assignment, or pledge of an Interest in the Fund must be approved by the

36
Manager, which may be withheld at the Manager’s sole and absolute discretion. Because of those
restrictions, Investors may not be able to liquidate their investment in the case of emergency or
otherwise. The restrictions may also influence the price an Investor would receive if a transfer
were to occur.

Liability of Members for Repayment of Certain Distributions


Under Ohio law (applicable to an investment in the Fund), if an Investor has knowingly received
a distribution from the Fund at a time when its liabilities exceed the fair market value of its assets
after giving effect to the distribution, the Investor is liable to the Fund for a period of three years
thereafter for the distribution. If the Fund is otherwise unable to meet its obligations, the
Investors may, under applicable law, be obligated to return, with interest, cash distributions
previously received by them to the extent such distributions are deemed to constitute a return of
their capital contributions or are deemed to have been wrongfully paid to them. In addition, an
Investor may be liable under applicable Federal and State bankruptcy or insolvency laws to
return a distribution made during the Fund’s insolvency.

Conflicts of Interest
(Also see the section below Conflicts of Interest.) An investment in the Fund involves several
inherent or potential conflicts of interest, which prospective Investors should carefully consider
before subscribing for Interests.

The Manager may make, or cause its affiliates to make, short-term loans to or from the Fund.
The terms of such loans will not be determined through arms-length negotiations, and such loans
will bear interest rates as determined by the Manager, which may not be consistent with the
market rates for such loans.

Investors should note that the Manager will receive investment management fees and has the
right to not take such management fees, in whole or in part, as to any monthly payment period,
and to defer such management fees to such other periods as the Manager may determine. The
Manager and its affiliates may also receive other fees about services provided to the Fund and
the respective properties, including, without limitations, market-rate fees for property
management, construction, and construction management.

The Manager and, at their option, Members, may make advances to the Fund prior to the Initial
Closing to assist in the financing of investment of the Fund. As described in “Summary of Fund
Terms-Pre-Initial Closing Financing”, this bridge financing may be secured or unsecured
financing and will be treated as either equity or debt and will result in a six percent (6%) return

37
to the participants.

The principal and senior executives of the Manager also provide services to other affiliates of the
Manager. The principal and senior executives of the Manager may devote significant time in the
future to the management of their other existing investments and professional activities. No
restrictions are placed upon the Manager or its affiliates with respect to existing real estate
investments or non-real estate investments separate and apart from the Fund. Further, the
Manager and its affiliates and principal may purchase property that meets the Fund’s investment
criteria to complete a Section 1031 like-kind exchange with respect to any properties owned by
the Manager or its affiliates and principal.

In the ordinary course of business, the Manager and its Affiliates may engage in activities in
which such party’s interests conflict with the interest of the Fund, such as leasing office space in
the investment property owned by the Fund. In determining, negotiating, or overseeing
arrangements involving payments to the Fund by the Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager, the
Manager is under a conflict between the incentive to minimize payments made by the Manager
or its Affiliates and the incentive to maximize payments to the Fund. Lease arrangements
between the Fund, on the one hand, and the Manager or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand,
shall not be negotiated at arm’s length, and the Fund may be able to obtain more favorable terms
with a counterparty unaffiliated with the Manager. The Manager intends, however, that the terms
of any such lease arrangement shall be no less favorable than the prevailing rates for similar
office space located in the markets in which the investment is located. The Manager and/or its
Affiliates is under no obligation to lease any space in the investment property owned by the
Fund, including, but not limited to, in the event that the investment property held by the Fund has
vacancies it is unable to fill.

Broad Discretion in Use of Funds

The Fund has broad discretion on how to allocate the proceeds received as a result of this
Offering and may use the proceeds in ways that differ from the proposed uses summarized in this
Memorandum. If the Fund fails to invest and utilize the proceeds effectively, its business and
financial condition could be harmed and there may be the need to seek additional financing to
fund operations.

Investment Delays

There may be a delay between the time the Investor submits the Subscription Agreement to the
Management Company and the time the Minimum Offering Amount is reached, at which time

38
the LLC can commence making or investing in Properties. After the Minimum Offering Amount
is reached, there may be a delay between the time Membership Interests are sold and the time the
proceeds of this Offering are invested in Properties by the LLC. During these periods, the LLC
may invest, but is not required to invest, these proceeds in short-term certificates of deposit,
money-market funds or other liquid assets with FDIC-insured and/or NCUA-insured banking
institutions which will not yield a return as high as the anticipated return to be earned on
property investments.

Management of Investment Properties.


The Manager may engage affiliates of the Manager to manage certain operations of the
investments under management agreement(s) from which they will be paid a fee for its
management and/or administrative services. Accordingly, Investors must carefully evaluate the
personal experience and business performance of such a management team.

Lack of Sufficient Funding.


The success of the Fund and the Manager’s ability to implement its business strategy is
dependent upon the Fund’s ability to raise capital. If the Fund is unable to raise sufficient capital,
it may not be able to carry out all its planned acquisitions. If that were the case, the Fund would
have to be more reliant upon outside financing or third parties to complete its business plan. As
an alternative, the Fund may reduce the number of planned acquisitions and thereby limit its
diversification.

Lack of Distributions

The Fund has not paid any distributions with respect to its outstanding Membership Interests and
cannot predict when, or if, distributions will be paid. The Fund does not currently anticipate
paying any distributions on the Membership Interests until a Property is sold and liquidity is
realized. There is no guarantee the Fund will ever receive any profit from its operations so as to
be able to declare and pay distributions. There can be no assurance with respect to the amount
and timing of any distributions other than to the Members, or that they will ever be made. Future
distributions will be determined by the Manager of the Fund in light of prevailing financial
conditions, earnings, if any, as well as other relevant factors.

Phantom Income.
Although it is intended that distributions will be made on a regular basis, there can be no
guaranty that will be the case. Accordingly, it is possible that Members in the Fund could be

39
allocated taxable income in a given taxable year without corresponding distributions of cash or
property by the Fund to pay such tax liabilities.

RISKS INHERENT IN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS GENERALLY

General Risks.
Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. The yields available from
equity investments in real estate depend on the amount of income earned and capital appreciation
generated by the related properties as well as the expenses incurred in connection therewith. If
the Fund’s property does not generate income sufficient to meet operating expenses, including
debt service and capital expenditures, the Fund’s ownership interest could be adversely affected.
Income from, and the value of, the Fund’s property may be adversely affected by a number of
factors, including the general economic climate, local conditions such as oversupply of
properties, or a reduction in demand for properties in the areas in which it is located, the
attractiveness of the property to potential tenants, competition from other properties, government
actions and policies, the Fund’s ability to provide adequate maintenance and insurance, increases
in operating costs (including insurance premiums, utilities, and real estate taxes), the ability of
the Fund to operate the property in a manner sufficient to maintain or increase revenues in excess
of operating expenses and debt service and, in the case of real property leased to one or more
lessees, the ability of the lessees to make rent payments.

Revenues from a property and real estate value may also be affected by such factors as the cost
of compliance with regulations and the potential for liability under applicable laws, including
changes in tax laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing, the ongoing need for
capital improvements (particularly in older structures), changes in real estate tax rates and other
operating expenses, adverse changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies, civil unrest, acts
of God, including, without limitation, earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters (which
may result in uninsured losses), pandemics, acts of war or terrorism, adverse changes in zoning
laws, and other factors which are beyond the control of the Fund in whole or in part. Certain
significant expenditures associated with an investment in real estate (such as mortgage payments,
real estate taxes, and maintenance costs) generally do not decline when circumstances cause a
reduction in income from the property.

Economic Conditions.
The United States, like the rest of the world, has been adversely affected by the breakout of the
COVID-19 virus. The United States government, many states, and cities have instituted “shelter
in place” orders which have caused the shuttering of many businesses and multiple layoffs. For
this reason, the Manager expects a likely short-term or more protracted long-term downturn in

40
the economy, which will most likely affect Fund revenues, and in turn, affect the returns to
Investors. The effects may be similar to the extraordinary market downturn that began in
mid-2008, where credit markets tightened, property transaction volumes slowed dramatically,
and real estate values experienced significant downward pressures.

Following economic downturns, the cycle of the real estate market typically recovers, and credit
becomes more available. These factors make the valuation of real estate investments more
difficult. Because there is significant uncertainty in the valuation of, or in the stability of the
value of, certain of the Fund’s possible investments, fair values of such investments as reflected
in the Fund’s results of operations may not reflect the prices that the Fund would obtain if such
investments were sold. Thus, there can be no assurance that real estate prices will stabilize in the
near term or that the Fund will be able to select a real estate investment that will generate the
returns the Fund is targeting. If the next cycle in the real estate market is a downward turn, the
Fund may also be required to hold illiquid investments for several years before any disposition
can be affected at acceptable pricing.

Lack of Liquidity of Investments.


The Fund’s real estate investment will generally be highly illiquid compared to other asset
classes. Given the nature of real estate investments, the Fund may be unable to realize its
investment objectives by sale or other disposition at an attractive price within any given period
or may otherwise be unable to complete any exit strategy for its investment. In some cases, the
Fund may be prohibited by contract from selling its investment for a period, or there may be
contractual rights or obligations that may otherwise significantly affect the price and/or liquidity.
In addition, it is expected that the investment will not be sold until several years after it is made.
The types of investment held by the Fund may be such that it requires a substantial length of time
to liquidate. In the event a loan repayment or other funding obligation arises at a time in which
the Fund does not have sufficient cash assets to cover such payment, the Fund may have to
liquidate the investment at less than its expected return to satisfy the obligations, resulting in
lower realized proceeds to the Fund than might otherwise be the case.

Due Diligence and Analytic Risks.


There is generally limited publicly available information about real properties, and the Fund
must therefore rely on due diligence conducted by the Manager and/or its affiliates about its
acquisitions. Should the Manager’s and/or its affiliates’ pre-acquisition evaluation of the physical
condition of a new investment fail to detect certain defects or necessary repairs, the ultimate
investment cost could be significantly higher than originally expected. Furthermore, should the
Manager’s estimates of the costs of improving, repositioning, or redeveloping an acquired
property prove too low, or its estimates of the time required to achieve target occupancy prove
too optimistic, the profitability of the investment may be adversely affected.

41
Joint Venture Risks.
Instead of making investments directly, the Fund may join other parties to make an investment
through a membership, joint venture, corporation, company, or other entity. Such investment may
involve risks not present in a wholly-owned investment, including, for example, the possibility
that a co-venturer or Member of the Fund might commit fraud, become bankrupt, or may have
economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of the Fund, or that such
Member or co-venturer may be in a position to take action contrary to the instructions or the
requests of the Fund or contrary to the Fund’s policies or objectives or otherwise have certain
rights with respect to the investments, which may limit the Fund’s ability to protect its position
and make decisions with respect to its investment. In addition, in certain circumstances, the Fund
may rely upon the joint venture Member for operational expertise, which reliance may ultimately
not be justified. Furthermore, if such co-venturer or Member defaults on its funding obligations,
it may be difficult for the Fund to make up the shortfall from other sources. Any default by such
co-venturer or Member could have an adverse effect on the Fund, its assets, and the interests of
the Investors. In addition, the Fund may be liable for actions of its co-venturers or Members.
While the Manager will attempt to limit the liability of the Fund by reviewing qualifications and
previous experience of co-venturers or Members, such action may not be sufficient to protect the
Fund from liability or loss.

Absence of Operating History in New Markets and New Property Types.


The Fund may invest in properties located in markets in which the Manager has no prior
operating experience. The Fund may also invest in property types with respect to the Manager
has no or limited prior operating experience, such as office properties. Accordingly, the Fund
will be competing for assets with entities that have greater experience and knowledge of such
markets and property types and may have better relationships with sellers, brokers, lenders, or
others in such markets or with respect to such property types. Investments in new markets and
property types may require more management time, staff support, and expense in order to
develop and maintain market knowledge and relationships across a number of markets and
property types.

Value-Add Properties.
The Fund intends to seek higher returns by acquiring an opportunistic and underperforming
value-added property in need of better management, repositioning, physical improvements, and
other enhancements. Thus these properties may not generate positive cash flow (or may have a
cash deficit and require significant cash). There may be unanticipated delays in or increases in
the cost of improving or repositioning such a property, which are beyond the control of the
Manager. Further, there is no assurance the Manager and its affiliates will be successful in

42
improving the cash results of the property, as this depends in a significant part on a number of
factors beyond the Manager’s control, including general or local economic conditions and
demand for hotel rooms, residential and commercial real estate in the local market. Thus, an
opportunistic and underperforming value-added property may pose a greater investment risk than
a fully stabilized property.

Fixed and Variable Cost Risks.


Many costs associated with a real estate investment, such as debt service and real estate taxes,
are not reduced even when a property is not fully occupied, or other circumstances cause a
reduction in income from the investment. These fixed costs increase the risk to the Fund of an
unanticipated delay in achieving target occupancy of a new or redeveloped property. Some costs
associated with a real estate investment, such as maintenance and repairs, may be subject to cost
increases beyond the control of the Fund. Variable-rate debt in a time of rising interest rates
could also result in unanticipated cost increases.

Leverage Risks.
A portion of the purchase price of each of the Fund’s investments is expected to be financed.
Debt financing in respect of the Fund’s portfolio is not expected to exceed 75% of the aggregate
value of all Fund investments as a group determined at the time of acquisition. The degree of
leverage could have important consequences to Investors, including limiting the ability of the
Fund to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures,
acquisitions, or other general corporate purposes and making the Fund more vulnerable to a
downturn in business or the economy generally. Further, the Fund may enter a credit facility to
finance investments or pay expenses. Thus, the Manager may assign certain of the Fund’s rights
with respect to Investor Capital Commitments, including the right to draw down such Capital
Commitments. The use of a credit facility secured by such Capital Commitments will not be
included in the leverage test for the Fund.

Loan Default Risks.


The mortgage loan documents for the Fund’s property will generally contain customary
covenants, such as requirements relating to the maintenance of the property securing the debt,
restrictions on pledging and creating other liens on the property, restrictions on incurring
additional indebtedness, restrictions on transactions with affiliates and in some cases periodic
satisfaction of financial ratios. Failure by the Fund to make timely payments of principal and
interest on mortgage loans or to observe these loan covenants could result in the declaration of a
default by the lender. The consequences of a declaration of default include foreclosure of the
mortgage, resulting in loss of both the property and the income it produces, the incurrence of
substantial legal costs, the imposition of a deficiency judgment if the foreclosure sale does not

43
result in proceeds sufficient to satisfy the mortgage, and potentially adverse tax consequences to
the Investors. In addition, if any loan contains cross-default provisions with other properties, a
default under one loan could result in a default under other loans and impact other properties.

Refinancing Risks.
Mortgage loans on the Fund’s properties may be subject to relatively short maturities, which may
require refinancing before the properties are disposed of. There is no assurance that replacement
financing can be obtained or, if it is obtained, that interest rates and other terms would be as
favorable as for the original loans. Inability to refinance a loan on favorable terms may compel
the Fund to attempt to dispose of the property or other properties on terms less favorable than
might be obtained later.

Americans With Disabilities Act.


Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (the “ADA”), all public
accommodations and commercial facilities must meet certain federal requirements related to
access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with the ADA requirements could involve the
removal of structural barriers from certain disabled persons’ entrances and expanded access to
amenities. Other federal, state, and local laws may require modifications to or restrict further
renovations of properties with respect to such access. Noncompliance with the ADA or related
laws or regulations could result in the imposition of governmental fines or the institution of
claims by private plaintiffs. Costs such as these, as well as the general costs of compliance with
these laws or regulations, may adversely affect the value of the Fund’s property.

Zoning and Environmental Laws.


Governmental zoning and land use regulations may exist or be promulgated that could have the
effect of restricting or curtailing certain uses of existing structures or requiring that such
structures be renovated or altered in some fashion. Such regulations could adversely affect the
value of the Fund’s property. In recent years, the value of real estate has also been adversely
affected by the presence of hazardous substances or toxic waste on, under, or in the environs of
the real estate. A substance (or the amount of a substance) may be considered safe at the time the
real estate is purchased but later classified by law as hazardous. Under environmental laws,
owners of properties have been liable for substantial expenses to remedy chemical contamination
of soil and groundwater at their real estate even if the contamination predated their ownership.
Although the Fund will exercise reasonable efforts to assure that no real estate is acquired that
gives rise to such liabilities, environmental contamination cannot always be detected through
readily available means, and the possibility of such liability cannot be excluded.

44
Risk of Uninsured Losses.
While the Fund intends to carry customary comprehensive liability and casualty insurance,
certain disaster insurance (such as earthquake, wind, and flood insurance) may not be available
or may be available only at prohibitive cost. In addition, losses may exceed insurance policy
limits, and policies may contain exclusions with respect to various types of losses or other
matters. Consequently, all or a portion of the Fund’s properties may not be covered by disaster
insurance, and insurance may not cover all losses. Manager, in Manager’s discretion, shall have
the right to elect not to purchase certain coverages for certain risks and/or assets and elect the
Fund to self-insure if, in Manager’s discretion, it is determined that coverage cannot be obtained
on commercially reasonable terms.

Lack of Outside Due Diligence.


Because the Manager and the Fund have elected not to utilize a managing broker-dealer for this
offering, Investors will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review and
investigation of the type normally performed by an independent underwriter about a registered,
firm commitment offering of securities. Investors will be required to conduct their own due
diligence prior to making a commitment.

Contractors May Underestimate Bids.


The Fund may develop or renovate an asset. If needed, the Fund will hire contractors based on
bids received for the cost of the renovations. The Fund may hire a contractor that underestimates
the material and labor costs, and the property could suffer from cost overruns, which could
adversely affect the value of the investment in the Fund.

Delays in Project May Occur.


The Fund will not realize a profit until the Fund is cash flow positive. Therefore, if there are cost
overruns or multiple unforeseen change orders, the Fund may not realize a return on investment
which could adversely affect Members’ investments.

Low Employment Rates Mean Fewer Buyers for the Property.


If there is a fluctuation in employment rates, the demand for the asset may not be as high as
previously expected or hoped. This could adversely affect the Investors’ investments.

45
RISKS RELATED TO REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES

Tenant Default.
An individual tenant’s default may have a significant impact on the overall financial condition of
an investment, as it will affect cash flow and cause the Fund to incur legal costs and other costs
no likely to be recouped. An unanticipated termination of a lease will also disrupt occupancy. In
light of the current Covid-19 pandemic, there may be an increase in tenant defaults and
vacancies.

Non-Renewal of Leases.
The Fund’s investment will be subject to the risk that, upon expiration, leases may not be
immediately renewed or space re-leased, or the terms of renewal or re-lease, including the cost of
required renovations or concessions may be less favorable than current lease terms. In the event
of any of these circumstances, cash flow from the Fund’s real estate investment and, therefore,
the value of an investment in the Fund would be adversely affected.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX RISKS

Generally, the income tax aspects of an investment in the Fund are complicated. Prospective
Investors should review the discussion herein under the heading “Tax Considerations” and
discuss the applicable tax considerations with their own professional tax advisors familiar with
the Investor’s particular income tax situation and with the income tax laws and regulations
applicable to the Investor and investment partnerships.

The Fund expects to be treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes, with the result
that the Investors, and not the Fund, will be taxed on their distributive shares of the Fund’s items
of income and gain. Investors will have this income tax liability even in the absence of cash
distributions and thus may have taxable income and income tax liability arising from their
investments in the Fund in years in which they receive no cash distributions from the Fund. If
this occurs, the tax on such profits will be an out-of-pocket cost of the Investors.

In addition to Federal income taxes, each Investor may incur income tax liabilities under the
State or local income tax laws of certain jurisdictions in which the Fund will operate and/or own
assets, as well as in the jurisdiction of that Investor’s residence or domicile. State and local
income tax laws vary from one location to another, and Federal, State, and local income tax laws
are both complex and subject to change. In addition, special income tax considerations may
apply to qualified employee benefit plans and other tax-exempt entities, as well as to non-U.S.

46
residents.

No assurance can be given that the Fund’s interpretation of the existing Federal income tax laws
and Treasury Regulations for any given year will not be challenged by the Internal Revenue
Service, resulting in an increase in taxable income or a decrease in allowable deductions.

Changes in the Law- Recent Legislation.


In recent years, numerous changes to the Code have been enacted. These changes have affected
marginal tax rates, personal exemptions, itemized deductions, depreciation and amortization
rates, and other provisions of the Code. There can be no assurance that the present federal
income tax treatment of an investment in the Fund will not be adversely affected by future
legislative, judicial or administrative action. Any modification or change in the Code or the
regulations promulgated thereunder, or any judicial decision, could be applied retroactively to an
investment in the Fund. In view of this uncertainty, prospective Investors are urged to consider
ongoing developments in this area and consult their advisors concerning the effects of such
developments on an investment in the Fund, considering their own personal tax situations.

Risk of Audit.
Information returns filed by the Fund are subject to audit by the IRS. An audit of the Fund’s
return may lead to adjustments, in which event the Members may be required to file amended
income tax returns. In addition, any such audit may lead to an additional audit of an Investor’s
income tax return, which may lead to adjustments other than those relating to such Investor’s
investment in the Fund. The costs of such audit and adjustments would be borne by the affected
Members.

Other Potential Tax Risks.


In evaluating an investment in the Fund, a prospective Investor should also consider, in addition
to the above potential tax consequences, the following tax consequences (amongst others): (i) the
possibility that there may be a recapture of depreciation so that upon a sale of Interests, or of a
Fund real estate investment, a portion of the gain may be taxed as ordinary income tax rates; (ii)
the possibility that his or her income tax liability resulting from a sale of a Fund investment
(including a sale or disposition resulting from the foreclosure or other enforcement of a security
interest) or from a sale or other disposition (e.g., by gift) of his or her Interests may exceed his or
her share of the cash proceeds therefrom (whether or not distributed), and to the extent of such
excess, the payment of such income taxes will be an out- of-pocket expense; (iii) the possibility
that in connection with the reduction or compromise of a debt obligation of one or more of the
Fund’s investments, the Investors may be required to recognize debt forgiveness income without
a corresponding distribution; (iv) the possibility of tax liability on the Fund’s current operating

47
income in excess of amounts that the Manager deems advisable to distribute; (v) the possibility
that foreign, State or local income tax treatment may be adverse; (vi) the possibility that there
may be adverse changes in the income tax laws and their interpretation; and (vii) the possibility
that the interest expense of the Fund might not be allowable as a deduction to some or all of the
Investors. Moreover, there is uncertainty concerning certain other of the income tax aspects of an
investment in the Fund, and there can be no assurance that some of the deductions claimed or
positions taken by the Fund may not be successfully challenged by the IRS.

OTHER REGULATORY AND LEGAL RISKS

Federal and State Securities Laws; Absence of Regulation Applicable to the Fund.
The Fund has not registered and will not register this Offering under the Securities Act in
reliance on the exemption provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D
promulgated by the SEC. The Fund also has relied on exemptions from securities registration
requirements under applicable state securities laws. Investors in the Fund, therefore, will not
receive any of the benefits that registration may be deemed to afford. Given the planned nature of
the Fund’s investments, or pursuant to certain available exemptions, the Fund should not be
required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
and investors in the Fund will not have the protections that may be deemed to be afforded to
investors under such Act.

Liquidity of Interests.
Investors should be aware of the long-term nature of this investment. There is not now and will
not be a public market for the Interests. Because the Interests have not been registered under the
Securities Act or under the securities laws of any State or foreign jurisdiction, the Interests are
“restricted securities” and cannot be resold in the United States except as permitted under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, pursuant to registration thereunder or
exemption from such registration. It is not contemplated that registration of the Interests under
the Securities Act or other securities laws will ever be affected. The Interests may also not be
sold or otherwise transferred without the consent of the Manager and compliance with the
Operating Agreement. Accordingly, an Investor may not be able to liquidate his, her or its
investment in the Fund in the event of an emergency or for any other reason, and an Investor’s
Interests due to the illiquid nature of the Interest and the limitation on transfer may not be
accepted as collateral for loans. Limitations on the transfer of the Interests may also adversely
affect the price that an investor might be able to obtain for Interests in a private sale.

48
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The following is a list of some of the important areas in which the interests of the Management
Company and its Affiliates may conflict with those of the Fund. The Members must rely on the
general fiduciary standards and other duties which may apply to a manager of a limited liability
company to prevent unfairness by any of the aforementioned in a transaction with the Fund. (See
“Fiduciary Responsibility of the Manager” above.)

NON ARMS’-LENGTH COMPENSATION

The Fund or the Management Company will determine in good faith whether or not to enter any
investments in Properties, or to enter into any transaction, on behalf of the LLC. None of the
Management Company’s or its affiliated companies’ compensation described herein was
negotiated at “arms’ length.”

FUND MANAGEMENT NOT REQUIRED TO DEVOTE FULL-TIME

The Manager is not required to devote its capacities full-time to the Fund's affairs. Nevertheless,
the Manager does plan to devote such time to the management of the LLC as the affairs of the
Fund reasonably require.

COMPETITION WITH AFFILIATES OF THE FUND

Although they currently have no intention to do so, there is no restriction preventing the Fund or
any of its affiliates, principals, Members, or management from competing with the Fund by
investing in properties or sponsoring the formation of other investment groups like the Fund to
invest in similar areas. If the Fund or any of its principals were to do so, then when considering
each new investment opportunity, the Fund or such affiliate, principal or manager would need to
decide whether to originate or hold the resulting transaction in the Fund, as an individual or in a
competing entity. This situation would compel the Manager to make decisions that may at times
favor persons other than the Fund. The Operating Agreement exonerates the Fund and its
affiliates, principals and management from any liability for investment opportunities given to
other persons.

OTHER COMPANIES & PARTNERSHIPS OR BUSINESSES

The Management Company and its managers, principals, directors, officers or affiliates may
engage, for their own account or for the account of others, in other business ventures similar to

49
that of the Fund or otherwise, and neither the Fund nor any Member shall be entitled to any
interest therein. As such, there exists a conflict of interest on the part of the Manager because
there may be a financial incentive for the Manager to arrange or originate transactions for private
investors and other mortgage funds. Further, the Manager may be involved in creating other
mortgage or real estate funds that may compete with the LLC.
The Fund will not have independent management and it will rely on the Manager and its
managers, principals, directors, officers and/or affiliates for the operation of the Fund. The
Management Company and these individuals/entities will devote as much time to the business of
the Fund as is reasonably required. The Manager may have conflicts of interest in allocating
management time, services and functions between various existing companies, the Management
Company and any future companies which it may organize as well as other business ventures in
which it or its managers, principals, directors, officers and/or affiliates may be or become
involved. The Manager believes it has sufficient staff to be fully capable of discharging its
responsibilities.

MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES MAY PROVIDE BROKERAGE SERVICES TO FUNDS AND
PRIVATE INVESTORS

The Management Company is required to devote as much time to the LLC as is necessary to
operate the LLC. As such, the Management Company may devote time to other brokerage
services, private investors, and other entities that may compete with the LLC. As such, there
exists a conflict on the part of the Management Company because there may be a financial
incentive for the Management Company to arrange or originate investments for private investors
and other funds. Members must rely on the Management Company’s fiduciary duty to the LLC
to protect their interests under such circumstances.

Further, the Management Company may be involved in creating other funds that may compete
with the LLC. If both the other fund and the LLC has funds to invest in a property, the
Management Company will be conflicted on whether to offer the property to the LLC or to the
other funds sponsored by the Management Company. The Management Company will decide on
which properties to offer to the LLC or other funds, private investors and other entities based
upon a consideration of all relevant factors, including portfolio diversification and the amount of
un-invested funds.

CONFLICT WITH RELATED PROGRAMS

The Manager and its managers, principals, directors, officers and/or affiliates may cause the
Fund to join with other entities organized by the Management Company for similar purposes as
partners, joint venturers or co-owners under some form of ownership in certain investments or in

50
the ownership of repossessed real property. The interests of the Fund and those of such other
entities may conflict, and the Fund controlling or influencing all such entities may not be able to
resolve such conflicts in a manner that serves the best interests of the Fund.

INVESTMENTS IN THE LLC

The Manager or an Affiliate may elect, in good faith, to invest in the LLC through an acquisition
of Membership Interests through the Offering. There is no limitation on the ability of the
Manager to acquire Membership Interests in the Offering or to participate as a result of its
ownership of Membership Interests as a Member in the LLC.

CREDITOR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LLC

If the LLC chooses to employ leverage, the LLC may obtain such leverage from the Manager or
an Affiliate. Any such arrangement would render the Manager or Affiliate, as applicable, in the
position of a creditor vis-à-vis the LLC (which would be a debtor as a result of obtaining such
access to leverage). As a creditor, the Management Company or Affiliate may have interests or
views that are contrary to, or otherwise in conflict with, the interests and views of the Members.
While the Manager would nevertheless be expected to exercise its fiduciary duty for Members in
managing the LLC, the Manager would clearly have a conflict from its or its Affiliate’s creditor
relationship with the Fund.

The entry into a credit or leverage relationship between the LLC and the Manager or an Affiliate
will generally be on terms and conditions that are fair and reasonable for all parties, but no
assurance can be given that the LLC could not obtain better terms and conditions or a more
favorable arrangement from an independent third party.

OTHER SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATES

The Management Company or its Affiliates may provide other services to persons dealing with
the LLC. The Management Company or its Affiliates are not prohibited from providing services
to, and otherwise doing business with, the persons that deal with the LLC, the Membership
Interests, or the Members.

SERVICES TO THE LLC

The Management Company may hire Affiliates as service providers, such as contractors, to
perform work or services associated with the Properties and generally the Fund. The

51
Management Company’s decision will not be subject to review by any outside parties. The LLC
may use the services of an Affiliate at a price that is fair and reasonable for all parties, but no
assurance can be given that the LLC could not obtain a better price or overall service
arrangement from an independent third party.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL ESTATE WITH AFFILIATES

In order to facilitate any purchase or sale of real estate, the Management Company may, but is
not required to, arrange a purchase from, or sale to, persons or entities controlled by it (e.g. to
another limited liability company formed by the Management Company for the express purpose
of acquiring properties from lenders such as the LLC). The Management Company will be
subject to conflicts of interest in arranging such affiliated purchases and sales since it may in
effect represent both parties in the transaction. For example, the LLC and a potential buyer will
have conflicting interests in determining the purchase price and other terms and conditions of
sale. The Management Company’s decision will not be subject to review by any outside parties.
The LLC may purchase a property from, or sell a property to, the Management Company or an
Affiliate at a price that is fair and reasonable for all parties, but no assurance can be given that
the LLC could not obtain a better price from an independent third party.

GENERAL INFORMATION

REQUIREMENTS FOR HOLDERS OF LLC INTERESTS

The limited liability company membership interests (the "Units") offered by the Fund will be
offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and under state securities laws. The Units will therefore be sold to a limited number of
purchasers who are acquiring such Unit(s) for investment and not with a view to resale. To be
eligible to purchase any Unit, an investor must warrant and represent that he or she is acquiring
the Unit for his or her own account and that the Unit will not be resold without registration under
applicable state and federal securities laws or pursuant to an exemption from such laws. Any
transfer shall be conditioned upon the proposed transferor furnishing the Fund with an opinion of
legal counsel, acceptable to the Fund, relative to compliance with or exemption from such state
and federal laws as may be applicable to such resale. Purchasers acquiring Units hereunder will
be required to execute a Subscription Agreement agreeing to such conditions and restrictions.
(See Attachment C, "Subscription Agreement".)

52
Unitholders have no right to require registration of their Units under state or federal securities
laws, and the Fund does not contemplate such registration now or at a future date. Further, the
requirements for the transfer of Units in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of
1933 will not be satisfied. Potential investors should therefore review the significance of these
limitations on transfer with their legal and investment counsel.

Generally, potential investors must be "accredited investors" as that term is defined under
Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. The Fund will require that each prospective investor
verify that they are accredited investors and make the representations in the Subscription
Agreement in order to ascertain whether such prospective investor meets these requirements. To
preserve the confidentiality of information contained in the verification process, all prospective
investors will be required to obtain verification from EarlyIQ, a third-party compliance company.
All financial information submitted to EarlyIQ will not be released to the Fund or its Manager
without the consent of the applicable investor. The Manager of the Fund reserves the right to
make such inquiries of potential investors as it shall deem appropriate, relative to their purchase
of the Units being offered, and further reserves the right to reject or accept subscription
agreements received pursuant to this offering.

THE COMPANY SHALL INCUR NO LIABILITY NOR BE RESPONSIBLE TO ANY


UNITHOLDER FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS MADE IN ANY SUBSCRIPTION
AGREEMENT OR PURCHASER QUESTIONNAIRE SUBMITTED BY A PROSPECTIVE
INVESTOR.

RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS

There are substantial restrictions on the transfer of Units. The Units are being offered and sold
pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
provided by Rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Units are not registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 or under state law. Purchasers of the Units shall not sell, assign,
donate or transfer to any person or entity all or any portion of the Units unless:
1) The Fund has received a favorable opinion of its counsel and/or such evidence as may be
satisfactory to counsel for the Fund to the effect that any such transfer will not be in
violation of the Securities Act of 1933, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder
or any state securities laws; or
2) The sale of such Units is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
under any applicable state securities laws.

53
The Fund does not contemplate registration of the Units, and the holders of the Units will have
no right to require registration.

ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTION

If funds in excess of the Fund's available cash resources are required in order to satisfy an
existing monetary obligation or a readily ascertainable impending monetary obligation of the
Fund, or the Manager agrees that the Members should contribute additional capital for any
reason, then, upon receiving written notice of the additional capital required, the Members shall
contribute such additional capital to the Fund, pro rata, within ten (10) days of the receipt of said
notice. Notice shall be in writing, addressed to each member's mailing address, and shall identify
the amount of additional capital required and the date on which such additional capital is due.

If any Member fails to pay to the Fund, when due, any amount that such Member is obligated to
contribute to the Fund), then, as its sole remedy against the Defaulting Member(s), the Fund shall
reduce the Defaulting Member's Membership Interest to the percentage derived from the fraction
in which the numerator is the total capital actually contributed by it to the Fund and the
denominator is the sum of the capital heretofore contributed to the Fund by all Members plus the
total additional capital required pursuant to the notice giving rise to such default. The difference
between a Defaulting Member's Membership Interest prior to the operation of this, and the
Membership Interest obtained by operation of this, shall be allocated to the Members who
contributed their share of the required additional capital. (See Sections 5.2-5.3 of the Operating
Agreement.)

INVESTMENT SUITABILITY

A prospective investor in determining whether the Units are a suitable investment should
consider such investment to be illiquid and should not utilize funds that are required to be
converted into cash in the near term. There will be a limited number of Units sold, and the
transferability thereof will be limited. No public or secondary market will develop for the Units.
The Units have not been registered under the Act and accordingly cannot be resold unless each is
so registered or an exemption from such registration requirement is available, and the consent of
the Manager is obtained. Each investor will be required to acknowledge in writing to the Fund
that he understands that the Fund's Operating Agreement will contain such restrictions and that
his Units may not be resold except in compliance with such registration provisions. The Fund
will not undertake to register the Units for resale under the Act or to issue public information in
such form as to make available the use of Rule 144 under the Act to resell the Units.

54
The primary benefits of an investment in the Fund are expected to be (i) distributions of cash and
(ii) capital appreciation of real estate owned by the Fund. It is the intention of the Manager to
make monthly cash distributions to investors. There is no assurance that the expected benefits
will be achieved by the Fund.

USE OF PROCEEDS
Upon the sale of the Units offered under this Memorandum, proceeds aggregating $1,000,000.00
will be received if the offering is fully subscribed. Proceeds from the sale of the Units will be
used by the Fund for the costs of organizing the Fund and preparing this offering and to acquire
assets for Pipiles LLC, subject to completion by the Fund of satisfactory due diligence, pursuant
to the Agreement of Purchase and Sale of Real Estate, attached as Attachment E. The costs
associated with acquiring this property will include (all amounts approximate and subject to
change):

Asset Purchase Price: $1,731,000.00


Acquisition Fee: $26,660.00
Reserve Account: $0.00
Class E Holder’s Equity ($757,660.00)
Total Equity Offered: $1,000,000.00

The Manager may elect to advance some of these costs. If the Manager so elects, the Fund will
reimburse it from the proceeds of this Offering.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD SEEK THEIR OWN TAX COUNSEL

The following summary of the tax considerations relating to an investment in the Fund is based
upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), applicable Treasury
Regulations (the "Regulations"), currently published administrative positions of the Internal
Revenue Service (the "Service") and existing judicial decisions. No assurance can be given that
legislative or administrative changes or court decisions may not be forthcoming that would
significantly modify the statements in this summary.

Moreover, a prospective investor should note that the discussion below is necessarily general,
and the applicability or effect of matters discussed below may vary depending on an investor's

55
individual circumstances. It is impractical to comment definitively on all aspects of federal, state,
or local tax law, which may affect each prospective investor with respect to his ownership of a
Unit and participation as a member of the Fund. THEREFORE, EACH PROSPECTIVE
INVESTOR SHOULD SATISFY HIMSELF AS TO THE INCOME AND OTHER TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF HIS PARTICIPATION IN THE COMPANY BY OBTAINING ADVICE
FROM HIS OWN TAX COUNSEL – EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD NOT
RELY ON THE TAX INFORMATION IN THIS SECTION. The following discussion, however,
may be useful to a prospective investor with respect to his evaluation of an investment in the
Fund.

MEMBERS, NOT FUND, SUBJECT TO TAX

Under the Code, the Fund, as an entity, is not subject to federal income taxes. The Fund will file
federal partnership information tax returns reporting its operations on the accrual basis for each
calendar year. Each member will report on his federal income tax return his distributive share, as
determined by the Operating Agreement and specified in the federal information return, of
income and losses realized by the Fund, whether or not any cash distributions are made to the
member during the taxable year. Accordingly, a member may be subject to tax on his distributive
share of Fund income whether or not any cash distribution is made to such member. The
characterization of any item of income and loss (as capital gain or ordinary income and as capital
loss or ordinary loss) will be the same to the member as it is to the Fund. A member is generally
entitled to deduct from income his allocable share of any Fund losses to the extent of his basis in
his interest at the end of the Fund year in which such loss occurs.

MEMBER’S BASIS IN MEMBERSHIP INTEREST

The adjusted basis for a member's membership interest is important for several reasons: it
determines the amount of Fund losses, if any, which a member may deduct, the treatment of cash
distributions, and measures the taxable gain or loss on a sale or exchange of such interest.
Generally, each member's tax basis for his interest will be equal to the price paid for his interest,
plus his share of Fund liabilities. Each partner will increase the tax basis of his interest by (i) his
cash contributions to the Fund; (ii) the amount of his allocable share of the Fund's taxable
income and gain; and (iii) any increase in the member's allocable share of Fund liabilities, and
will reduce the tax basis of his membership interest (but not below zero) by (i) the member's
allocable share of the Fund's deductions and losses; (ii) the amount of any distributions of the
Fund to such member; and (iii) any reduction in his allocable share of Fund liabilities. A member
may include in the basis of his interest in the Fund his share of the principal amount of

56
non-recourse indebtedness equal to his allocable share of profits under the Operating Agreement
and his share of the principal amount of recourse indebtedness equal to his allocable share of
Fund losses, but not to exceed the amount of his actual capital contributions credited to him by
the Fund and the total contribution which the member is obligated to make under the terms of the
Operating Agreement.

DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOSSES

The deductibility of losses from passive activities, which include losses from the Fund, is limited
to the income generated from passive activities (exclusive of portfolio income). It would appear
that net income from the Fund would constitute passive income to a member (unless a member
can establish the material participation in the business of the Fund required by the service to
avoid passive treatment) and would be available for offset against passive losses from other
sources, including other limited liability company investments. Credits from passive activities
will generally be allowed only to the extent of the tax attributable to income from passive
activities in succeeding years. In addition, suspended losses from an activity are allowed in full
when the taxpayer disposes of his entire interest in the activity in a taxable transaction. The
passive loss limitation applies to individuals, estates, trusts, and certain closely held corporations.

A member may not deduct from taxable income his share of the Fund's losses to the extent that
such losses exceed the lesser of (a) the adjusted tax basis of his interest at the end of the Fund's
taxable year in which the loss occurs, or (b) the amount the member is considered "at-risk" under
Section 465 of the Code at the end of that year. In general, a member is initially "at-risk" to the
extent of the amount of cash paid for his interest. A member's "at-risk" amount increases or
decreases as his adjusted basis in his interest increases or decreases, except that only
non-recourse financing, except in special circumstances, does not increase the "at-risk" amount.
Losses disallowed to a member as a result of these limitations will carry forward and will be
allowable to a member to the extent that his adjusted basis or "at-risk" amount (whichever was
the limiting factor) is increased. The "at-risk" limitation applies to an individual member, a
shareholder of a corporate member that is an electing S corporation, and a corporate member if
fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of its stock is owned directly or indirectly by five or
fewer individuals.

UNRELATED BUSINESS TAXABLE INCOME

The Fund's activities would probably cause Investors who are tax-exempt entities (including
pension plans, 401 (k) plans, IRAs, etc.) to realize and be taxed on unrelated business taxable

57
income ("UBTI"). For example, since the Fund intends to leverage its properties, a portion of the
income or gain attributable to such properties will be debt-financed income and consequently
taxed as UBTI. Also, any gains attributable to property deemed held primarily for sale in the
ordinary course of business will constitute UBTI. The rules applicable to UBTI are complex, and
their application to certain types of transactions is uncertain. Members that are otherwise exempt
from state and local income taxes may be subject to such taxes on their share of the Fund's
UBTI. Investment in the Fund by tax-exempt entities, including pension funds, may require a
portion of the assets of the Fund to be depreciated for Federal income tax purposes over a longer
period of time than would otherwise be applicable. Accordingly, prospective Investors who are
tax-exempt should consider the effect of UBTI on an investment in the Fund.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS DISCLAIMER

THE FOREGOING ANALYSIS CANNOT BE AND IS NOT INTENDED AS A SUBSTITUTE


FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING. CERTAIN OF THE TAX ASPECTS OF THE OFFERING
WILL NOT BE THE SAME FOR ALL INVESTORS. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IS
URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THEIR OWN
TAX SITUATION AND THE EFFECTS OF THEIR INVESTMENT AS TO FEDERAL,
STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES. THIS OFFERING MEMORANDUM MAKES NO ATTEMPT
TO SUMMARIZE THE STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO A MEMBER.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Memorandum contains forward-looking statements and forecasts concerning the Fund’s
plans, intentions, strategies, expectations, predictions, and financial forecasts concerning their
future investment activities and results of operations and other future events or conditions. These
statements and forecasts are based on the views and opinions of the Manager. For this purpose,
any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as
“believes,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “intends,” “estimate,” “might,” or “continue” or the negative
or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Additionally, certain sections of this Memorandum, such as “Risks of Investment,”

58
may contain such forward-looking statements, even though such modifying terminology is
absent.

It is important to note that the Fund’s actual results or activities or actual events or conditions
could differ materially from those estimated or forecasted in such forward-looking statements
due to a variety of factors, some of which may be beyond the control of the Fund or the Manager.
See “Risks of Investment” for a discussion of certain other factors that could cause the Fund’s
actual results or activities or actual events or conditions to differ from those anticipated.
Although estimates and assumptions concerning the growth of the portfolio are believed by
Manager to be reasonable, such estimates and assumptions are uncertain and unpredictable. To
the extent that actual events differ materially from the Manager’s assumptions and estimates,
actual results will differ from those forecasted.

These statements include, among other things, statements regarding the Fund’s intent, belief, or
expectations with respect to:
● the type and quality of the properties the Fund may acquire;
● the target returns, internal rate of return, multiple and distributions to Members; and
● the markets in which the Fund may acquire and operate real estate.

Members should not rely on forward-looking statements because they involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Fund’s
control and may cause its actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from
anticipated future results, or the performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.
Among the important factors that could adversely affect the Fund’s performance are:
● changes in general economic conditions;
● changes in government policies or tax rates;
● the Fund’s ability to acquire and operate suitable properties;
● changes in financial markets and interest rates;
● the effect of increased or unexpected competition; and
● each of the other matters described in the “Risks of Investment” sections of this
Memorandum.

While forward-looking statements in this Memorandum reflect the Fund’s estimates and beliefs,
they are not guarantees of future performance. The Fund does not promise to update any
forward-looking statements to reflect changes in the underlying assumptions or factors, new
information, future events, or other changes.

59
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

The Fund's fiscal year will be the calendar year, and the Fund will maintain its books and
accounts on a cash basis. All Members will be provided with a statement of income and a
balance sheet semi-annually and within 75 days of the end of the fiscal year necessary tax
information and tax returns, prepared by the Fund's accountant. Any material matters will be
reported as they occur.

The books and records of the Fund will be maintained at its principal office and will be available
upon reasonable notice for inspection by any Member or a representative of the Members,
reasonable hours during the business day.

CAPITALIZED TERMS

Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Fund’s
Operating Agreement governing the respective rights and obligations of the Members and
Manager of the Fund and the Interests issued thereunder (the “Operating Agreement”).

LITIGATION

There is no litigation pending or threatened against the Fund. The Manager believes that there is
no litigation pending or threatened, which might materially adversely affect the benefits of
ownership of real estate by the Fund.

NOTICE TO INVESTORS

Copies of this offering package will be delivered to all prospective investors, and the Fund
undertakes that it will make available for review by prospective investors and their respective
counsel, advisors, and representatives, all information reasonably requested by them and in the
Fund's possession or accessible to it without unreasonable effort or expense.

The Interests have not been approved or disapproved by the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or by the securities regulatory authority of any State or
foreign jurisdiction, and neither the SEC nor any such authority has passed upon the accuracy or
adequacy of this Memorandum nor is it intended that the SEC or any such authority will do so.
The Interests have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of

60
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any State or foreign
jurisdiction and may be sold only in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of
such laws under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the
Securities Act, and only to persons meeting the definition of “Accredited Investor” under
Regulation D. The Interests may not be resold except under limited circumstances in compliance
with applicable laws and other restrictions described herein.

Furthermore, the Fund will not be registered as an investment company under the Investment
Fund Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) because the Fund does not meet the definition of “investment
company” provided in the 1940 Act. In addition, neither the Fund nor its affiliates will be
registered as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Consequently,
Investors will not be afforded many of the protections available to investors under those laws and
regulations.

Any projections or other estimates in this Memorandum, including estimates of returns or


performance, are forward-looking statements and are based upon certain assumptions that the
Fund and the Manager consider to be reasonable. Other events, which were not considered, may
occur and may significantly affect performance. Any assumptions, projections, or estimates
should not be construed to be indicative of the actual events that will occur. Actual events are
difficult to predict and depend upon factors that are beyond the Fund’s control. Certain
assumptions have been made to simplify the presentation and, accordingly, actual results will
differ and may differ significantly from those presented. Some important factors which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or estimated in any forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in interest rates and financial,
market, economic or legal conditions. In addition, the degree of risk may be increased because of
the leveraging of the Fund’s investments. These and other risks are described under “Risks of
Investment” and elsewhere in this Memorandum, in each case, which Investors are urged to read
and consider prior to investing in the Interests. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that
targeted returns or projections will be realized. Such targeted returns and projections should be
viewed as hypothetical and do not represent the actual returns that will be achieved by an
Investor. Investors should conduct their own analysis, using such assumptions as they deem
appropriate, and should fully consider other available information, including the information
described in “Risks of Investment,” in making an investment decision. Due to the numerous risks
inherent in the investment, investors must be prepared to bear the economic risk of their
investment for an indefinite period and be able to withstand a total loss of their investment.

Investors should bear in mind that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results,
and there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve results comparable with similar funds’

61
past performance or results comparable with the performance of other funds managed by the
Manager.
There is no public market for Interests, and no such market is expected to develop in the future.
The Interests may not be resold or transferred (i) except as permitted under the Operating
Agreement, and under the Fund’s subscription agreement, and (ii) unless such resale is made in
accordance with an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws.

The Interests are also subject to further restrictions on transfer described herein. Because of such
restrictions, it is unlikely that a secondary trading market for Interests will ever develop, and
Investors will bear the risk of their investments for an indefinite period. Investors should note
their limited withdrawal and governance rights described in the Operating Agreement.

The Fund will also provide investors with the opportunity to ask questions and receive written
answers concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering or necessary to verify the accuracy
or evaluate the information provided herein, provided that such answers can be provided without
unreasonable effort or expense on the part of the Fund. The Fund authorizes no such answers or
information unless furnished or approved in writing by the Manager.

Any questions or requests for additional information should be directed to:

positive Capital Account balances in proportion to their respective Capital Account balances
until all such Capital Account balances have been reduced to zero, and any remainder will be
allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Interests.

Contribution. If the Manager adjusts the Fair Market Value of any Company asset, then in
making subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deductions regarding that asset, the
Manager shall account for any variation between the adjusted basis of the asset for federal
income tax purposes and the asset’s Fair Market Value in the same manner provided under
Code Section 704(c).
(c) Member Non-Recourse Deduction Allocations
The Manager shall allocate all Member Non-Recourse Deductions for each Taxable Year to
the Member or Members who bear the economic risk of loss regarding the Member
Non-Recourse Debt to which any Member Non-Recourse Deductions are attributable. The
ratio reflects the Member’s economic risk of loss and complies with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(i)(1).
(d) Company Minimum-Gain Chargeback
If the Company Minimum Gain has a net decrease during any Company Taxable Year, the
Manager shall allocate items of Company income and gain for the year (and, if necessary, for
any subsequent years) in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to
each Member under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and (g). This provision is
intended to comply with the minimum-gain chargeback requirement of Treasury Regulation

before any other allocations under this Article with regard to the Taxable Year and without
regard to any net decrease in Member Minimum Gain during the Taxable Year.
(e) Member Minimum-Gain Chargeback

allocations under this Article have been computed.

Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3).

Operating Agreement of Pipiles LLC

(g) Gross Income Allocation to Restore Capital Account Deficit
If any Member has a Capital Account deficit at the end of any Company Taxable Year that
exceeds the sum of the amount the Member is obligated to restore under this Agreement and
the amount the Member is obligated to restore under the Treasury Regulations, then the
Manager shall allocate items of Company income and gain in the amount of the excess as
quickly as is practicable. The Manager shall make an allocation under this provision only to
the extent that an affected Member would have a remaining Capital Account deficit after all
other allocations under this Article have been computed.
(h) Allocation from Disposition of Property Not Revalued
If properties of the Company are not revalued under Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and the Capital Accounts of the Members are not adjusted accordingly
upon the admission of a Member or the liquidation of Interest, the Manager shall allocate
gain or loss recognized upon the sale or other disposition of Company property among the
Members. This allocation must take into account the variation between the adjusted basis of
the property and the property’s Fair Market Value on the date the Member was admitted or
the Interest was liquidated, as the case may be, under Code Section 704(c).
(i) Allocation Related to Adjustments in Tax Basis
If Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) requires an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any
Company asset, Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) must be taken into
account in determining the Capital Accounts. The amount of the adjustment to the Capital
Accounts must be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the asset’s basis) or
loss (if the adjustment decreases the asset’s basis). The Manager shall allocate this gain or
loss to the Members consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1.
(j) Allocation Related to Capital-Event Adjustments
If the gross Book Value of any asset of the Company is increased or decreased for special
events, the Manager shall allocate gain or loss as required for Capital Account purposes. The
Manager shall take into account any difference between the asset’s adjusted basis for federal
income tax purposes and the asset’s gross Book Value for any later allocations of income,
gain, loss, or deductions regarding any adjusted asset.
(k) Allocation Consistent with Distributions
The Manager shall allocate net profits and net losses in a manner consistent with:
● the requirements for distributions of cash described elsewhere in this Agreement;
● the requirements for distribution of assets upon its dissolution and winding up in
accordance with Capital Account balances as specified in the procedures
described below; and
● the requirements of applicable Regulations under Code Section 704(b).
(l) Allocations to Comply with Regulations and Intentions of Members
The allocations of net income, gains, net losses, and deductions set forth in this Agreement
are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b), Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv), and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2, and are intended to have
substantial economic effect within the meaning of those Regulations.
The allocations could be inconsistent with the Members’ intentions. Accordingly, the
Manager is authorized to allocate net profits, net losses, and other economic items among the

Operating Agreement of Pipiles LLC


11 of 47
Members to prevent the allocations from distorting the manner in which distributions are
intended to be divided among the Members under this Article. In general, the Members
anticipate that these allocations will be accomplished by specially allocating other net profits,
net losses, and items of income, gain, loss, and deductions among the Members so that the
net amount of the allocations and any special allocations to the Member is zero. If, for any
reason, the Manager determines that the allocation provisions of this Agreement are unlikely
to be recognized for federal income tax purposes, the Manager may amend this Agreement’s
allocation provisions to the minimum extent necessary to give effect to the plan of allocations
and distributions in this Agreement.
SECTION 6.04 DETERMINING NET PROFITS AND NET LOSSES
For purposes of this Article, the terms net profits and net losses mean the amount of the
Company’s taxable income or loss for any year or period, determined under Code Section 703(a).
All items of income, gain, loss, or deduction required to be stated separately under Section
703(a)(1) will be included in taxable income or loss. This determination of net profits and net
losses includes the following items:
● any income of the Company that is exempt from federal income tax and is not
otherwise taken into account in computing taxable income or loss under this Article;
● any expenditures of the Company described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) relating to
nondeductible expenses that are not otherwise taken into account in computing
taxable income or loss, and
● if any Company asset’s value is adjusted, the amount of the adjustment will be taken
into account as gain or loss from the disposition of the asset.
Any other items that are specially allocated under this Article will not be taken into account in
computing net profits and net losses.
SECTION 6.05 ALLOCATION OF GAIN AND LOSS ON LIQUIDATION
Upon liquidation of the Company, the Manager shall allocate the Company’s estimated net loss
for the year and any loss realized by the Company on liquidation, including any book adjustment
loss, and its estimated net gain for the year and any gain realized upon liquidation, including any
book adjustment gain, under Article Five and Article Six. If any Company property is
distributed to the Members in kind, then, for purposes of reflecting the allocation of gain or loss
from liquidation in the Members’ Capital Accounts, the Company shall make a book adjustment
with respect to the property distributed in kind as provided in the Treasury Regulations under
Code Section 704(b).
SECTION 6.06 CHANGE FOR LEGAL COMPLIANCE
The Manager may change the allocation provisions of this Section if the Company’s legal
counsel advises the Company that this change is required under the Code based on the manner in
which the Members have agreed to bear losses and to share profits and distributions under this
Agreement.

noncash property held by the Company. In any in-kind distribution, the securities or property

Fair Market Value cash equivalent. Before making an in-kind distribution, the Manager must
adjust the Members’ Interests to account for any difference between the established Fair Market
Value and the Book Value of the in-kind property.
Any distribution of securities is subject to the conditions and restrictions the Manager requires to
ensure compliance with Applicable Law. The Manager may require the Members to sign and

share of that distribution. The Company’s creditors are deemed to have notice of the provisions
of this Article and of the fact that Members are not required to return a distribution unless the
request for return of the distribution has been approved by a Majority Vote of the Voting
Members.

expenses incurred in the Company’s formation and organization.
The Manager may delegate management functions to any corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, or other entity qualified to manage the property and to conduct the business

this Section and Section 14.07 is null and void ab initio.
SECTION 14.02 PERMITTED TRANSFERS
Despite the transfer restrictions in Section 14.01, a Member may transfer an Interest without the
written consent of the Manager if:
● the transferee is the transferring Member’s Immediate Family or

Operating Agreement of Pipiles LLC


25 of 47
● the transferee is a revocable or irrevocable trust for the sole benefit of the transferor
during his or her life or transferor’s Immediate Family.
● The transferee is an LLC or other legal entity that is wholly owned by the Member or
the Member’s Immediate Family.

● the transfer does not result in any event of default as to any secured or unsecured
obligation of the Company;
● the transfer does not cause a reassessment of any real property owned by the
Company; and
● the transfer does not cause any adverse material impact to the Company.
A transfer to a revocable or irrevocable trust for the sole benefit of the transferor’s Immediate
Family or their descendants will be considered a transfer to Immediate Family for purposes of
this Section if the trustee and any successor trustees of the trust are also Immediate Family. For
a trust to be considered a Permissible Transferee, the trustee must be specifically and irrevocably
prohibited from gifting, selling, or distributing the Interest held by the trust to a person other than
Immediate Family.

The transferee of an Interest will hold the interest only as an Assignee until the transferee
satisfies all the requirements of Section 14.07 to become an Additional Member. As an
Assignee, the transferee will have only those rights in Section 14.06.
SECTION 14.06 ASSIGNEE’S RIGHTS, LIMITATIONS, AND OBLIGATIONS
An Assignee may receive distributions from the Company to the same extent that the transferring
Member would receive distributions under this Agreement, but otherwise has substantially fewer
rights than a Member. An Assignee only holds a right to receive economic benefits when

obligations of a Member. If an Assignee fails to fulfill any monetary obligation imposed on
Members under this Agreement, then despite any other provisions of this Agreement, any
amount that otherwise would be paid or distributed to the Assignee under Article Seven or

transfer of Interest, the assigning Member and the Assignee shall sign, acknowledge, and
deliver instruments of transfer and assignments to the Company, in the form and substance
satisfactory to the Company.

requested by the Manager. These instruments include a Member Joinder or other written

amend the Operating Agreement, the Articles of Organization, or both to reflect any substitution
or addition of the Additional Member. The Company may assess any associated fees, costs, or
other expenses associated with that Additional Member.
SECTION 14.10 VOTING RIGHTS OF TRANSFERRED INTERESTS
A Voting Member who transfers Voting Interest to an Assignee will continue to hold all voting
rights associated with the assigned Interest until the Assignee of the transferred Interest satisfies
all of the requirements to become an Additional Member under Section 14.07.
If an Assignee acquires an Interest due to the death of a Voting Member, the voting rights
associated with the transferred Interest will be suspended and disregarded for purposes of
calculating votes until the Assignee of the transferred Interest satisfies all of the requirements to
become an Additional Member under Section 14.07.
SECTION 14.11 EFFECT OF IMPROPER TRANSFER
Any attempted transfer of an Interest or the admission of an Additional Member in violation of
this Article and Article Fifteen is null and void ab initio. No such transfer or admission may be
recorded on the Company’s books and the purported transferee or Member in any such transfer
will not be treated (and, in the case of a transfer, the purported transferor will continue to be
treated) as the owner of such Interest for all purposes of this Agreement. If the ownership of
Interest is in doubt, or if there is reasonable doubt as to who may receive a distribution
attributable to an Interest, the Manager may accumulate the amounts to be distributed until this
issue is finally determined and resolved. The Manager shall credit any accumulated amounts to
the Capital Account associated with the Interests.
SECTION 14.12 CREDITOR RIGHTS; CHARGING ORDER SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
If a creditor obtains a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction against any Member or
Assignee, the court may charge the Member or Assignee’s Interest with payment of the
unsatisfied amount of the judgment from distributions attributable to the affected Interest, but
only to the extent permitted by the Act. To the extent any Interest is charged with satisfaction of
a judgment, the judgment creditor will receive no more than the rights of an Assignee under
Section 14.06 and will not be admitted as a Member of the Company.
The charging order is the exclusive remedy by which a judgment creditor of a Member or an
Assignee of an Interest may obtain any satisfaction from the Company toward any judgment
against the Member or Assignee. This Section does not deprive any Member or Assignee of
rights under any exemption laws available to the Member or Assignee.
SECTION 14.13 ASSIGNEE OR CHARGING ORDER HOLDER ASSUMES TAX LIABILITY
The Assignee of an Interest and any person who acquires a charging order against an Interest
shall report income, gains, losses, deductions and credits regarding the interest for the period in
which the Assignee interest is held or for the period the charging order is outstanding.

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

SECTION 15.01 MEMBERS RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL


No Member may transfer any Interest without first offering in writing to sell the Interest to all
other Members as provided in this Article.
SECTION 15.02 NOTICE OF INTENT TO TRANSFER
Before transferring an Interest, a Member shall first give notice of the intent to transfer to the
Manager and to all other Members. Any notice of intent to transfer must include a copy of any
written offer to purchase the Interest that the Member has received. If the Member received only
an oral offer, a written explanation of the oral offer must be attached to the notice. The written
explanation must completely detail the purchase price and payment terms.
SECTION 15.03 MEMBERS’ RIGHT TO PURCHASE
The Members have the first right to purchase any portion of the Interest according to the terms of
the offer. If some or all of the purchase price stated in the offer consists of non-cash
consideration, a Member may pay the equivalent cash value in lieu of the non-cash
consideration. A Member may exercise this right to purchase by giving notice of intent to
purchase to the selling Member within 30 days of receiving the written notice of the offer.
Despite the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement, only a Voting Member may purchase
the Interests of a Voting Member and only a Non-Voting Member may purchase the Interests of a
Non-Voting Member in the Company.
SECTION 15.04 PAYMENT TERMS UNDER PRIORITY RIGHT TO PURCHASE
If a Member exercises the priority right to purchase an Interest as provided above, then a
purchasing Member shall pay the purchase price according to the payment terms specified in the
written notice of the offer provided by the selling Member.
SECTION 15.05 CLOSING ON PURCHASE BY THE MEMBER
Any purchase of an Interest under this Section will close at the Company’s principal office
within 30 days from the date that the purchasing Members exercise their priority right to
purchase an Interest.
SECTION 15.06 TRANSFER TO THIRD PARTY AFTER NON-EXERCISE OF PRIORITY RIGHT
If no Members exercise their priority right to purchase the Interest, the selling Member may
transfer its Interest to the party that made the original offer for the purchase price and on the
terms in the original offer.
Any transfer to a Third Party under this Section must close within 30 business days from the
earlier of:
● the date on which priority rights of the other Members to purchase expire; and
● the date on which the other Members have provided written notice of their intent not
to exercise their priority rights to purchase.

If the Interest is not sold to the prospective purchaser within the specified time, the other
Members will again be offered an opportunity to exercise their priority rights to purchase the
Interest under Section 15.03.

ARTICLE 16
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

SECTION 16.01 DISSOLUTION EVENTS


The Company will be dissolved only if an event described in this Section occurs.
(a) Dissolution by the Members
The Company will be dissolved by the Members, subject to any special vote required by
Article Ten.
(b) Judicial Dissolution
The Company will be dissolved upon the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution by a court
of competent jurisdiction.
After dissolution, the Company may only conduct activities necessary to wind up its affairs.
SECTION 16.02 EFFECT OF DISSOLUTION
Dissolution of the Company will be effective on the day on which the event described in Section
16.01 occurs, but the Company will not terminate until the winding up of the Company has been
completed, the assets of the Company have been distributed as provided in Section 16.03, and
the Company’s Articles of Organization has been cancelled as provided in Section 16.06.
SECTION 16.03 LIQUIDATION
After dissolving the Company, the Members will have full authority to sell, assign, and
encumber any or all of the Company’s assets and to wind up and liquidate the affairs of the
Company’s in an orderly and businesslike manner. The Members shall liquidate the Company’s
assets and apply and distribute proceeds from the liquidation of the assets as follows.
(a) Creditor Payment
The proceeds from the liquidated property will first be applied toward or paid to any
non-Member creditor of the Company in the order of payment required by Applicable Law.
(b) Provision for Reserves
After paying liabilities owed to non-Member creditors, the Members shall set up such
reserves as the Members determine is reasonably necessary. The Members may, but need
not, pay over any reserves for contingent liabilities to a bank to hold in escrow for later
payment.
After the Members are reasonably satisfied that any liabilities have been adequately resolved,
the Members shall distribute any remaining reserves to the Members or their assigns as
provided in Section 16.03(c).
(c) Distributions to Members
After paying liabilities owed to non-Member creditors and establishing reserves, the
Members shall satisfy any debts owed to the Members with any remaining net assets of the

Operating Agreement of Pipiles LLC


30 of 47
Company, and then distribute any remaining assets to the Members in proportion to their
positive Capital Account balances.
SECTION 16.04 IN-KIND DISTRIBUTIONS IN LIQUIDATION
Despite the provisions of Section 16.03 that require the liquidation of the Company’s assets but
subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 16.03(c), if upon dissolution of the Company
the Manager determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be
impractical or could cause undue loss to the Members, the Members may defer the liquidation of
any assets except those necessary to satisfy Company liabilities and reserves. If the Members
determine the assets are not suitable for liquidation, the Members may distribute undivided
interests in the Company’s assets to the Members instead of cash. This in-kind distribution must
be made to the Members as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section
16.03(c). Any in-kind distribution will be subject to any conditions relating to the disposition
and management of the properties that the Members determine to be reasonable and equitable
and to any agreements governing the operating of such properties at that time. If any in-kind
assets of the Company are to be distributed, those assets will be distributed using their Fair
Market Value at the distribution date, as determined by the Members.
SECTION 16.05 COMPANY PROPERTY SOLE SOURCE
Company property is the sole source for the payment of any debts or liabilities owed by the
Company. Any return of Capital Contributions or liquidation amounts to the Members will be
satisfied only to the extent that the Company has adequate assets. If the Company does not have
adequate assets to return the Capital Contributions, the Members will not have any recourse
against the Company or any other Members, except to the extent that other Members may have
outstanding debts or obligations owing to the Company.
SECTION 16.06 CANCELLATION OF ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION
Upon completing the distribution of the Company’s assets as provided in Section 16.03(c), the
Company will be terminated and the Members shall cause the cancellation of the Articles of
Organization in the State of Ohio and of all qualifications and registrations of the Company as a
foreign limited liability company in any other jurisdictions and shall take any other actions
necessary to terminate the Company.
SECTION 16.07 SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITY RIGHTS, DUTIES, AND OBLIGATIONS
For purposes of Article Seventeen, including any Member’s right to indemnification under
Section 17.04, the Company’s dissolution, liquidation, winding up, or termination for any reason
will not release any party from any loss that, at the time of the dissolution, liquidation, winding
up, or termination, had already accrued to any other party or which may accrue because of any
act or omission occurring before the dissolution, liquidation, winding up, or termination.
SECTION 16.08 COMPANY ASSET SALES DURING TERM OF THE COMPANY
The sale of Company assets during the term of the Company does not constitute liquidation,
dissolution, or termination of the Company as defined under this Article. The Manager may
reinvest the sale proceeds in other assets consistent with the business purposes for the Company.
Further, the Manager may participate in any real property exchange as defined in Code Section
1031 if the exchange fulfills the business purposes of the Company.

ARTICLE 17
EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 17.01 EXCULPATION OF PROTECTED PERSONS


No Protected Person is liable to the Company or any other Protected Person for any loss,
damage, or claim incurred because of any action taken or not taken by the Protected Person in
good-faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. This exculpation is only effective if the
action or omission is not an Unprotected Act and does not protect any Voting Member from a
court order to purchase the Interest of another Member who successfully contends that the
Member committed actionable, oppressive acts against the other Member.
SECTION 17.02 GOOD-FAITH RELIANCE
A Protected Person is fully protected if the Protected Person relies in good faith on the
Company’s records or on information, opinions, reports, or statements of the following Persons
or groups:
● another Manager;
● one or more employees of the Company;
● any attorney, independent accountant, appraiser, or other expert or professional
employed or engaged by or on behalf of the Company; or
● any other person selected in good faith by or on behalf of the Company, in each case
as to matters that the relying person reasonably believes to be within the other
person’s area of professional expertise.
The information, opinions, reports, or statements referred to above include financial statements;
information, opinions, reports, or statements as to the value or amount of the Company’s assets,
liabilities, income, or losses; and any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from
which distributions might properly be paid.
In no way does this provision limit any person’s right to rely on information as provided in the
Act. Any act, omission, or forbearance by a Protected Person on the advice of the Company’s
counsel must be conclusively presumed to have been in good faith.
SECTION 17.03 DECISION-MAKING STANDARDS
When this Agreement permits or requires a Protected Person to make a decision (including
discretionary decisions and other grants of similar authority or latitude), the Protected Person is
entitled to consider only the interests and factors as the Protected Person chooses, including its
own interests, with no obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting
the Company or any other person. When this Agreement permits or requires a Protected Person
to make a good-faith decision, the Protected Person shall act under this express standard and is
not subject to any other standard imposed by this Agreement or any Applicable Law.
SECTION 17.04 INDEMNIFICATION
The Company shall indemnify, hold harmless, defend, pay, and reimburse any Protected Person
against all losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines, or liabilities, including reasonable legal
fees or other expenses incurred in their investigation or defense, that arise in connection with any
actual or alleged act, omission, or forbearance performed or omitted on behalf of the Company

Operating Agreement of Pipiles LLC


32 of 47
or any Member in connection with the Company’s business. If the act or omission is not an
Unprotected Act, the Company shall also reimburse any amounts expended in settling any claims
(collectively, Indemnity Losses) to which the Protected Person may become subject because:
● of any act or omission or alleged act or omission on behalf of the Company, or any
Member;
● the Protected Person is or was acting in connection with the Company’s business as a
partner, member, stockholder, controlling Affiliate, manager, director, officer,
employee, or agent of the Company; any Member; or any of their respective
controlling Affiliates; or
● the Protected Person is or was serving at the Company’s request as a partner, member,
manager, director, officer, employee, or agent of any person including the Company.
A Protected Person’s conduct will be determined under a final, nonappealable order of a court of
competent jurisdiction. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a
presumption that the Protected Person did not act in good faith or, with respect to any criminal
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful or constituted fraud or
willful misconduct.
The indemnity provided by this Article extends to the full extent permitted by the Act as it now
exists or may later be amended, substituted, or replaced, but only if the amendment, substitution,
or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than those the
Act permits.
SECTION 17.05 REIMBURSEMENT
The Company shall promptly reimburse and may provide advancements to each Protected Person
for reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to
defend, or defending any claim, lawsuit, or other proceeding relating to any Indemnity Losses for
which such Protected Person may be indemnified under Section 17.04. If it is finally judicially
determined that the Protected Person is not entitled to the indemnification provided by Section
17.04, the Protected Person shall promptly reimburse the Company for any reimbursed or
advanced expenses.
SECTION 17.06 ENTITLEMENT TO INDEMNITY
The indemnification provided by Section 17.04 does not exclude any other indemnification
rights under any separate agreement or otherwise. Section 17.04 will continue to protect each
Protected Person regardless of whether the Protected Person remains in the position or capacity
under which the Protected Person became entitled to indemnification under Section 17.04 and
will inure to the benefit of the Protected Person’s executors, administrators, legatees, and
distributes.
SECTION 17.07 INSURANCE
To the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, the Manager may purchase, at the
Company’s expense, insurance to cover Indemnity Losses covered by these indemnification
provisions and to cover Indemnity Losses for any Protected Person’s breach or alleged breach of
the Protected Person’s duties. The Manager will determine the coverage amounts and the

Operating Agreement of Pipiles LLC


33 of 47
deductibles. A decision not to purchase insurance will not affect a Protected Person’s right to
indemnification (including the right to be reimbursed, advanced expenses, or indemnified for
Indemnity Losses under any other provisions of this Agreement) under this Agreement. A
Protected Person that recovers any amount for any Indemnity Losses from any insurance
coverage shall reimburse the Company for any amount previously received from the Company
for those Indemnity Losses.
SECTION 17.08 INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION FUNDING
Despite anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any indemnity by the Company relating to
Section 17.04 will be provided out of and to the extent of the Company’s assets. No Member
will have any personal liability or will be required to make Capital Contributions to help satisfy
the indemnity unless the Member otherwise agrees in writing.
SECTION 17.09 SECURITIES INDEMNITY
Each Member agrees to hold the Company harmless from all expenses, liabilities, and damages
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from a disposition of Interest in any manner that
violates the Securities Act, any applicable state securities law, or this Agreement. This
indemnification includes the Company’s Members, Manager, Member principals, organizers, and
controlling persons (as defined in the Securities Act), and any persons affiliated with any of them
or with the distribution of the Interest.
SECTION 17.10 SAVINGS CLAUSE
Article Seventeen survives the Company’s dissolution, liquidation, winding up, and termination.
If Article Seventeen or any portion of it is invalidated on any ground by any court of competent
jurisdiction, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Protected Person under any
applicable portion of this Article that was not invalidated and to the full extent permitted by
Applicable Law. To the extent possible, Article Seventeen supersedes any Ohio law to the
contrary.
SECTION 17.11 AMENDMENT
Article Seventeen is a contract between the Company and, collectively, each Protected Person
who serves in that capacity at any time while Article Seventeen is in effect. The Company and
each Protected Person intend to be legally bound under this contract. No amendment,
modification, or repeal of Article Seventeen that adversely affects a Protected Person’s
indemnification rights for Indemnity Losses incurred or relating to a state of facts existing before
the amendment, modification, or repeal will apply without the Protected Person’s prior written
consent.

Agreement for any period is not a waiver of that Member’s right to demand strict compliance in

administered according to the laws of Ohio, as from time to time amended, and any applicable
federal law. No effect is given to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law provision or rule (whether

courts) in any cause of action arising out of this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, each party irrevocably waives any objection that it may have now or later to the
venue of any action arising out of this Agreement in any of these courts, including an
inconvenient-forum petition.

brought in any court.
SECTION 18.08 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

Agreement is likely to involve complicated issues. Therefore, each party irrevocably and
unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury for any cause of action arising out
of this Agreement.
SECTION 18.09 EQUITABLE REMEDIES
Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that its breach or threatened breach of any of its
obligations under this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm to the other parties and
monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, each party to this Agreement
agrees that if any party breaches or threatens to breach any of its obligations, each of the other
parties to this Agreement will be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining
order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other equitable relief available from a court
of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond). These equitable remedies are

determines that any provision is invalid, the remaining provisions of this Agreement are to be
construed as if the invalid provision had never been included in this Agreement.
Subject to Section 13.03, upon a determination that any provision is invalid, illegal, or

other agreements specifically referred to in this Agreement, constitutes the sole and entire
agreement of its parties with respect to the Agreement’s subject matter. This Agreement

warranties with respect to the subject matter. As between or among the parties, oral statements
or prior written material not specifically incorporated in this Agreement have no force or effect.
The parties specifically acknowledge that, in entering into and executing this Agreement, each is
relying solely upon the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement and no
others.
SECTION 18.16 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES
Except as provided in Article Seventeen, which benefits and is enforceable by the Protected
Persons it describes, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of its parties and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, successors, and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or
implied, confers any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever upon
any other person, including any creditor of the Company.

original. Any person may rely on a copy of this Agreement that any Manager certifies to be a
true copy to the same effect as if it were an original.
SECTION 18.19 DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE
The Fair Market Value of any asset is the purchase price that a willing buyer having reasonable
knowledge of relevant facts would pay a willing seller for that asset in an arm’s length
transaction on any date, without time constraints and without being under any compulsion to buy
or sell. Fair Market Value is a good-faith determination made by the Manager based on factors
the Manager, in its reasonable business judgment, considers relevant.

parties to this Agreement will be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining
order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other equitable relief available from a court
