WITNESSETH
 
WHEREAS, RF Grocery, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the “Company”), is currently governed by that certain Operating Agreement of RF Grocery, LLC, dated as of May 12, 2020 (the “Existing Agreement”), for the purpose of setting forth the understandings and agreements of the Manager and Members with respect to the organization and operation of the Company and the scope and conduct of its business; and,
