ARTICLE II – REDEMPTION OF NOTES

2.1. General.

(a)

The Notes may be called for redemption, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Company at a price, based on the public offering price of $5,000 per Note regardless of the actual subscription price paid, equal to:

	(i)		100% of the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, if the redemption is in whole; or

	(ii)		100% of the portion of the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, if the redemption is in part;

			together with accrued and unpaid interest as of the redemption date (the “Redemption Price”). If the Company elects to redeem the Notes, it shall, not later than thirty (30) days before the redemption date (the “Redemption Date”), deliver notice of its election to the Trustee, the Registrar the Paying Agent and the Noteholders, and provide a Company Order to the Paying Agent and the Registrar directing them to affect the redemption. Any redemption of the Notes shall be without premium or penalty, and all redeemed Notes shall be cancelled and not reissued by the Company. Subject to Section 2.1(b), all payments to Noteholders pursuant to a redemption of the Notes shall be allocated among the Noteholders as their respective interests appear in Exhibit 1 to the Master Note.

	(b)		Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a), a Noteholder may request in writing redemption of all or a portion of the Noteholder’s Notes at the price set forth in clause (c) of this Section 2.1 (the “Presentment Price”) beginning on a date at least one year after the Offering Termination Date. Any request for redemption by a Noteholder shall be in a form satisfactory to the Manager, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar, and shall be subject to the Company’s determination, in its sole discretion, that:

	(i)		the redemption will not impair the capital or operations of the Company and the Company has adequate Net Cash Flow to effect the redemption;

	(ii)		the redemption will not materially impair the Company’s ability to repay its remaining Note obligations under this Indenture and the Master Note; and

	(iii)		the redemption is otherwise in the best interest of the Company under the circumstances.

Redemption requests must be signed by all of the Noteholders owning the Notes or the portion of the Notes to be redeemed, and generally may be accepted by the Company, subject to the foregoing, in order of receipt by the Company. If, however, the Company receives requests to redeem more Notes than it has funds to redeem in the Company’s sole discretion, then it expects to give priority:

	•		first, to hardship redemptions (e.g., requests arising from death, major medical expense, family emergency, disability, a material loss of family income, etc.);

	•		second, to provide liquidity for IRAs or qualified plans to meet required distributions; and

	•		third, to all other redemption requests.

			The Company shall notify a Noteholder requesting the redemption of the Noteholder’s Note within thirty (30) days of receipt whether the Company will approve the redemption request and, if the redemption is approved, the Redemption Date. If the Company agrees to redeem a Note, the Company shall provide a notice of redemption to the Trustee, the Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Noteholder in accordance with Section 2.2. In addition, any related transfer expenses and fees shall be paid by the transferor Noteholder as provided in Section 1.7(a)(vi) or deducted by the Company from the Presentment Price.

	(c)		The Presentment Price for one Note shall equal the public offering price of $5,000 per Note, regardless of the actual subscription price paid, less:

(i)

any Dealer-Manager Fee, sales commission and reimbursements of accountable bona fide due diligence expenses paid per Note;

	(ii)		the Manager’s 2% organization and offering expense allowance in an amount equal to $100 per Note; and

	(iii)		any unpaid principal payments on the Note on or before the Redemption Date;

			which Presentment Price shall be set forth in the notice of redemption from the Company to the Trustee, the Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Noteholder as provided in Section 2.2, below.

	(d)		Any Note redeemed by the Company shall be deemed to be paid in full on payment to the Noteholder of the Redemption Price or the Presentment Price, as the case may be. Following the completion of any redemption, Exhibit 1 to the Master Note shall be amended accordingly by the Registrar

	(e)		If all of the Outstanding Notes are redeemed as provided above, the Company may deliver the Master Note to the Trustee for cancellation as set forth in Section 1.8.

2.2. Notice of Redemption. With respect to every Note to be redeemed:

	(a)		At least ten (10) days, but not more than sixty (60) days, before the Redemption Date the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Noteholder whose Note will be redeemed, in whole or in part, and provide a copy of each notice to the Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agent. Except as provided by Section 2.3, an inadvertent failure to give the notice of redemption to any Noteholder, or any immaterial defect in the notice, shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any Note.

	(b)		The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

	(i)		the Redemption Date;

	(ii)		the Redemption Price or the Presentment Price, as the case may be;

	(iii)		the name and address of the Paying Agent; and

	(iv)		that interest on the Notes, with respect to the portion of the unpaid principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date.

2.3. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption has been given, the Notes to be redeemed shall be redeemed on the designated Redemption Date. On surrender to the Paying Agent of written confirmation by each Noteholder of the redemption as the Paying Agent may require, if any, the Notes shall be paid at the Redemption Price or the Presentment Price, as the case may be. Unless the Company fails to deposit the Redemption Price or the Presentment Price, as the case may be, as provided in Section 2.4, no interest shall accrue on the Notes for any period after the Redemption Date.

2.4. Deposit of Redemption Amount. At least one (1) Business Day, or such longer period as the Paying Agent may reasonably request, but not to exceed, in any event, ten (10) Business Days, before the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price or the Presentment Price, as the case may be, on the Notes to be redeemed that date. Pursuant to a Company Order the Company’s immediately available funds shall be segregated and held by the Paying Agent for the purpose of redeeming the Notes on the Redemption Date. If the deposit is made in this manner, the amount payable on the Notes shall be limited to the Redemption Price or the Presentment Price, as the case may be, for the Notes, without any premium or penalty, and no interest shall accrue on the Notes to be redeemed or the Redemption Price or the Presentment Price, as the case may be, of the Notes for any period after the Redemption Date.

The Trustee shall have the right to conduct the sale on the Company’s premises without charge, and the sale may be adjourned from time to time in accordance with applicable law. The Trustee shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Assets, or any part of the Assets, for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and any Noteholder may purchase all or any part of the Assets at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, may set off the amount of the purchase price against the Secured Obligations due to the Noteholder.

	(d)		Priority of Payments. The Proceeds realized from the sale of any Asset shall be applied:

(i)

first, to reimburse the Trustee for all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys^‘ fees incurred by the Trustee in collecting the Secured Obligations, in enforcing the rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders under this Indenture and the Master Note and in collecting, retaking, completing, protecting, removing, storing, advertising for sale, selling and delivering any Asset;

	(ii)		second, to pay any unpaid fees, costs or indemnification payments owed to the Trustee by a Noteholder transferring the Noteholder’s Notes under Section 1.7(b)(vi) or owed by the Company to the Trustee or any other Indemnified Person, as that term is defined in Section 8.6(b), under Section 8.6;

Without precluding any other methods of sale, the sale of the Asset or any portion of the Asset shall be conclusively deemed to be made in a commercially reasonable manner if conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of creditors disposing of similar property; but in any event the Trustee or its agent may sell the Asset on any terms and to any purchaser(s) as the Trustee or its agent may choose, without assuming any credit risk and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind other than as required under applicable law. A Noteholder may not prejudice the rights of the Trustee or any other Noteholder or obtain any preference or priority over the Trustee or any other Noteholder with respect to the Asset or the application of the Proceeds of the sale of the Asset (including, without limitation, as a result of any judgment obtained against the Company by any Noteholder).

7.8. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

(a)

The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion, or pursuant to the direction of a Majority of the Noteholders as provided in this Indenture or the Master Note, in order to have any claims of the Trustee and the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings related to the Company, the Company’s creditors or the Company’s Assets, and the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other Assets payable or deliverable on any of those claims.

	(b)		Nothing contained in this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt, on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of the Company affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any proceeding.

7.9. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.

	(a)		From time to time the Company shall pay to the Trustee, as compensation for its services under this Indenture, the amounts that are agreed on from time to time by the Trustee and the Company. In addition, the Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly on request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it for its services under this Indenture. Those expenses of the Trustee shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and outside counsel. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law related to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust.

	(b)		The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its successors and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys (the “Indemnified Persons”) against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs (including the costs and expenses of defending itself), expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Trustee and those other Indemnified Persons in connection with the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Indenture. The Trustee and those other Indemnified Persons shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it or they may seek indemnity, but failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 8.6. The Company, however, shall not be required to pay any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, the Company shall not be required to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or any other Indemnified Person through the Trustee’s or the other Indemnified Person’s gross negligence, bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct.

	(c)		The obligations set forth in this Section 8.6 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the payment of the Notes.

	(d)		When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1(d) or (e), the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the bankruptcy laws.

8.7. Replacement of Trustee.

(a)

The Trustee may resign at any time on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Company. A Majority of the Noteholders may remove the Trustee at any time on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and the Company. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

	(i)		the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; or

	(ii)		a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property.

	(b)		Subject to Section 8.7(c), if the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. The resignation or removal of the Trustee shall not be effective until a successor Trustee has been appointed and has assumed the responsibilities of Trustee under this Section 8.7(b).

	(c)		Notwithstanding Section 8.7(b), if the Trustee is removed by a Majority of the Noteholders, then a Majority of the Noteholders may appoint a successor Trustee, but only by naming the successor Trustee in the notice of removal of the Trustee given to the Trustee and the Company. If no

			successor Trustee is so named, then the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. The Manager and its Affiliates, if they own Notes, shall have no right to vote on the removal or replacement of a Trustee, and for these purposes the Notes owned by them shall not be taken into account in determining a Majority of the Noteholders.

	(d)		A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately thereafter, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all Assets held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee. On delivery to the retiring Trustee of the successor Trustee’s written acceptance of its appointment, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and the retiring Trustee shall cease to be Trustee under this Indenture and shall be discharged from any responsibility or obligations for actions taken (or not taken) by any successor Trustee. The successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture, but shall have no responsibility or obligations for actions taken (or not taken) by any previous Trustee. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession as Trustee under this Indenture to each Noteholder.

	(e)		If a successor Trustee does not take office within sixty (60) days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or a Majority of the Noteholders may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

8.8. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.
