ARTICLE VI

ALLOCATIONS

Section 6.01 Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss. For each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof), except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Income and Net Loss (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss or deduction) of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that, after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.02, the Capital Account balance of each Member, immediately after making such allocations, is, as nearly as possible, equal to (i) the Distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 13.03(c) if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Book Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each Nonrecourse Liability to the Book Value of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the Company were Distributed, in accordance with Section 13.03(c), to the Members immediately after making such allocations, minus (ii) such Member's share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.

Section 6.02 Regulatory and Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.01:

(a) If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain (determined according to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d)(1)) during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated Net Income for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.02(a) is intended to comply with the "minimum gain chargeback" requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member that has a share of such Member Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated Net Income for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to that Member's share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.02(b) is intended to comply with the "minimum gain chargeback" requirements in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or Distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), Net Income shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations or Distributions as quickly as possible. This Section 6.02(c) is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VI (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Net Income and Net Losses among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Net Income and Net Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

Section 6.03 Tax Allocations.

(a) Subject to Section 6.03(b) through Section 6.03(e), all income, gains, losses and deductions of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses and deductions among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by the Code or other Applicable Law, the Company's subsequent income, gains, losses and deductions shall be allocated among the Members for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other Applicable Law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

(b) Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the traditional method of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b), so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value.

(c) If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) as provided in clause (c) of the definition of Book Value, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c).

(d) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Board taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(e) The Company shall make allocations pursuant to this Section 6.03 in accordance with the traditional method in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d).

(f) Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.03 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Losses, Distributions or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

Section 6.04 Allocations in Respect of Transferred Units. In the event of a Transfer of Units during any Fiscal Year made in compliance with the provisions of Article X, Net Income, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company attributable to such Units for such Fiscal Year shall be determined using the interim closing of the books method.

Section 6.05 Curative Allocations. In the event that the Tax Matters Member determines, after consultation with counsel experienced in income tax matters, that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss or deduction is not specified in this Article VI (an "Unallocated Item"), or that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss or deduction hereunder is clearly inconsistent with the Members' economic interests in the Company (determined by reference to the general principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and the factors set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(3)(ii)) (a "Misallocated Item"), then the Board may allocate such Unallocated Items, or reallocate such Misallocated Items, to reflect such economic interests; provided, that no such allocation will be made without the prior consent of each Member that would be adversely and disproportionately affected thereby; and provided, further, that no such allocation shall have any material effect on the amounts distributable to any Member, including the amounts to be distributed upon the complete liquidation of the Company.

ARTICLE VII

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 7.01 General.

(a) Subject to Section 7.01(b), Section 7.02 and Section 7.04, the Board shall have sole discretion regarding the amounts and timing of Distributions to Members, including to decide to forego payment of Distributions in order to provide for the retention and establishment of reserves of, or payment to third parties of, such funds as it deems necessary with respect to the reasonable business needs of the Company (which needs may include the payment or the making of provision for the payment when due of the Company's obligations, including, but not limited to, present and anticipated debts and obligations, capital needs and expenses, the payment of any management or administrative fees and expenses, and reasonable reserves for contingencies).

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any Distribution to Members if such Distribution would violate § 57D-4-05 of the North Carolina Act or other Applicable Law.

Section 7.02 Priority of Distributions. After making all Distributions required for a given Fiscal Year under Section 7.04 and subject to the priority of Distributions pursuant to Section 13.03(c), if applicable, all Distributions determined to be made by the Board pursuant to Section 7.01 shall be made in the following manner:

(a) First, 100% to the Members pro rata in proportion to their holdings of Preferred Units, until Distributions under this Section 7.02(a) equal the Preferred Unit Bonus Amount in respect of all the Preferred Units owned by the Members as of the time of such Distribution;

(b) Second, 100% to the Members pro rata in proportion to their holdings of Preferred Units, until Distributions under this Section 7.02(b) equal the Preferred Capital Value in respect of all the Preferred Units owned by the Members as of the time of such Distribution;

(c) Third, 100% to the Members pro rata in proportion to their holdings of Common Units, until Distributions under this Section 7.02(c) equal the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions attributable to the Members in respect of their acquisitions of Common Units; and

(d) Fourth, 100% of any remaining amounts to the Members holding Preferred Units and Common Units pro rata in proportion to their aggregate holdings of Preferred Units and Common Units treated as one class of Units.

The Sponsor hereby grants Simple Growth the right to convert amounts to be distributed to Simple Growth under this Section 7.02 into the Sponsor’s common stock at a 20% discount to the 10-day volume-weighted average price of the Sponsor’s common stock at the time of such distribution, and the cash that would have been distributed to Simple Growth, which shall have been retained by the Company instead of being paid out to Simple Growth, shall be considered capital contributions of the Sponsor.

Section 7.03 [Reserved].

Section 7.04 Tax Advances.

(a) Subject to any restrictions in any of the Company's and/or any Company Subsidiary's then applicable debt-financing arrangements, and subject to the Board's sole discretion to retain any other amounts necessary to satisfy the Company's and/or the Company Subsidiaries' obligations, at least five (5) days before each date prescribed by the Code for a calendar-year corporation to pay quarterly installments of estimated tax, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Distribute cash to each Member in proportion to and to the extent of such Member's Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount for the applicable calendar quarter (each such Distribution, a "Tax Advance").

(b) If, at any time after the final Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount has been Distributed pursuant to Section 7.04(a) with respect to any Fiscal Year, the aggregate Tax Advances to any Member with respect to such Fiscal Year are less than such Member's Tax Amount for such Fiscal Year (a "Shortfall Amount"), the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Distribute cash in proportion to and to the extent of each Member's Shortfall Amount. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Distribute Shortfall Amounts with respect to a Fiscal Year before the 75th day of the next succeeding Fiscal Year; provided, that if the Company has made Distributions other than pursuant to this Section 7.04, the Board may apply such Distributions to reduce any Shortfall Amount.

(c) If the aggregate Tax Advances made to any Member pursuant to this Section 7.04 for any Fiscal Year exceed such Member's Tax Amount (an "Excess Amount"), such Excess Amount shall reduce subsequent Tax Advances that would be made to such Member pursuant to this Section 7.04, except to the extent taken into account as an advance pursuant to Section 7.04(d).

(d) Any Distributions made pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as advances on Distributions pursuant to Section 7.02 and shall reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the amount otherwise Distributable to such Member pursuant to Section 7.02.

Section 7.05 Tax Withholding; Withholding Advances.

(a) Tax Withholding. If requested by the Board, each Member shall, if able to do so, deliver to the Board:

(i) an affidavit in form satisfactory to the Board that the applicable Member (or its members, as the case may be) is not subject to withholding under the provisions of any federal, state, local, foreign or other Applicable Law;

(ii) any certificate that the Board may reasonably request with respect to any such laws; and/or

(iii) any other form or instrument reasonably requested by the Board relating to any Member's status under such law.

If a Member fails or is unable to deliver to the Board the affidavit described in Section 7.05(a)(i), the Board may withhold amounts from such Member in accordance with Section 7.05(b).

(b) Withholding Advances. The Company is hereby authorized at all times to make payments ("Withholding Advances") with respect to each Member in amounts required to discharge any obligation of the Company (as determined by the Tax Matters Member based on the advice of legal or tax counsel to the Company) to withhold or make payments to any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority (a "Taxing Authority") with respect to any Distribution or allocation by the Company of income or gain to such Member and to withhold the same from Distributions to such Member. Any funds withheld from a Distribution by reason of this Section 7.05(b) shall nonetheless be deemed Distributed to the Member in question for all purposes under this Agreement and, at the option of the Board, shall be charged against the Member's Capital Account.

(c) Repayment of Withholding Advances. Any Withholding Advance made by the Company to a Taxing Authority on behalf of a Member and not simultaneously withheld from a Distribution to that Member shall, with interest thereon accruing from the date of payment at a rate equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the date of payment plus two percent (2.0%) per annum (the "Company Interest Rate"):

(i) be promptly repaid to the Company by the Member on whose behalf the Withholding Advance was made (which repayment by the Member shall not constitute a Capital Contribution, but shall credit the Member's Capital Account if the Board shall have initially charged the amount of the Withholding Advance to the Capital Account); or

(ii) with the consent of the Board, be repaid by reducing the amount of the next succeeding Distribution or Distributions to be made to such Member (which reduction amount shall be deemed to have been Distributed to the Member, but which shall not further reduce the Member's Capital Account if the Board shall have initially charged the amount of the Withholding Advance to the Capital Account).

Interest shall cease to accrue from the time the Member on whose behalf the Withholding Advance was made repays such Withholding Advance (and all accrued interest) by either method of repayment described above.

(d) Indemnification. Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any liability with respect to taxes, interest or penalties which may be asserted by reason of the Company's failure to deduct and withhold tax on amounts Distributable or allocable to such Member. The provisions of this Section 7.05(d) and the obligations of a Member pursuant to Section 7.05(c) shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company and the withdrawal of such Member from the Company or Transfer of its Units. The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Member under this Section 7.05, including bringing a lawsuit to collect repayment with interest of any Withholding Advances.

(e) Overwithholding. Neither the Company nor the Board shall be liable for any excess taxes withheld in respect of any Distribution or allocation of income or gain to a Member. In the event of an overwithholding, a Member's sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate Taxing Authority.

Section 7.06 Distributions in Kind.

(a) The Board is hereby authorized, in its sole discretion, to make Distributions to the Members in the form of securities or other property held by the Company; provided, that Tax Advances shall only be made in cash.

(b) Any Distribution of securities shall be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Board determines are required or advisable to ensure compliance with Applicable Law. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Board may require that the Members execute and deliver such documents as the Board may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with all federal and state securities laws that apply to such Distribution and any further Transfer of the Distributed securities, and may appropriately legend the certificates that represent such securities to reflect any restriction on Transfer with respect to such laws.

ARTICLE IX

PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS

Section 9.01 Pre-emptive Right.

(a) Issuance of New Securities. The Company hereby grants to each holder (each, a "Pre-emptive Member") the right to purchase its Applicable Pro Rata Portion of any New Securities that the Company may from time to time propose to issue or sell to any party including, without limitation, an existing Member.

(b) Definition of New Securities. As used herein, the term "New Securities" shall mean any New Interests and any Units approved for issuance by the Board and proposed to be issued by the Company for cash consideration from time to time after the date hereof. For clarity, the Sponsor shall always be issued New Securities in the form of Preferred Units in exchange for any capital contribution made by the Sponsor after the date of this Agreement and Simple Growth shall always be issued New Securities in the form of Common Units in exchange for any capital contribution made by Simple Growth following the date hereof, provided, that the term "New Securities" shall not include Units issued or sold by the Company in connection with: (A) any acquisition by the Company or any Company Subsidiary of any equity interests, assets, properties or business of any Person; (B) any merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company or any Company Subsidiary; (C) the commencement of any transaction or series of related transactions involving a Change of Control; (D) any subdivision of Units (by a split of Units or otherwise), payment of Distributions or any similar recapitalization; (E) any private placement of warrants to purchase Membership Interests to lenders or other institutional investors (excluding the Members) in any arm's length transaction in which such lenders or investors provide debt financing to the Company or any Company Subsidiary; or (F) a joint venture, strategic alliance or other commercial relationship with any Person (including Persons that are customers, suppliers and strategic partners of the Company or any Company Subsidiary) relating to the operation of the Company's or any Company Subsidiary's business and not for the primary purpose of raising equity capital.

(c) Additional Issuance Notices. The Company shall give written notice (an "Issuance Notice") of any proposed issuance or sale described in Section 9.01(a) to the Pre-emptive Members following any meeting of the Board at which any such issuance or sale is approved. The Issuance Notice shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the proposed issuance or sale, including:

(i) the capital proposed to be raised, the then Applicable Pro Rata Portion of each Member and the price per Unit for the New Securities; and

(ii) the proposed issuance date, which shall be no later than five (5) Business Days from the date of the Issuance Notice.

The Issuance Notice shall also be accompanied by a current copy of the Members Schedule indicating the Pre-emptive Members' holdings of Preferred Units and Common Units, as applicable in a manner that enables each Pre-emptive Member to calculate its Applicable Pro Rata Portion of any New Securities. The Common Unit Member acknowledges and agrees that the price per Unit for Preferred Units and Common Units included in the New Securities shall be the same. The Common Unit Member agrees not to challenge the price per Unit of New Securities or bring any claims with respect to such price per Unit so long as the Company complies with its obligations under this Article IX.

(d) Exercise of Pre-emptive Rights. Each Pre-emptive Member shall for a period of five (5) Business Days following the receipt of an Issuance Notice (the "Exercise Period") have the right to irrevocably purchase all or any portion of its Applicable Pro Rata Portion of any New Securities, as applicable, as set forth in the Issuance Notice by delivering a written notice to the Company (an "Acceptance Notice") specifying the number of New Securities it desires to purchase together with the purchase price for such New Securities. The delivery of an Acceptance Notice by a Pre-emptive Member shall be a binding and irrevocable offer by such Member to purchase the New Securities described therein. The failure of a Pre-emptive Member to deliver an Acceptance Notice together with full payment for any New Securities covered by such Acceptance Notice by 5 p.m. Mountain Time on the last day of the Exercise Period shall constitute a waiver of its rights under this Article IX with respect to the purchase of such New Securities, but shall not affect its rights with respect to any future issuances or sales of New Securities.

(e) Over-allotment. Following the expiration of the Exercise Period, the Company shall notify each Pre-emptive Member in writing of the number of New Securities that each Pre-emptive Member has agreed to purchase (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where such number is zero) (the "Over-allotment Notice"). Each Pre-emptive Member exercising its rights to purchase its Applicable Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities in full (an "Exercising Member") shall have a right of over-allotment such that if the other Pre-emptive Member has failed to exercise its right under this Article IX to purchase its full Applicable Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities (each, a "Non-Exercising Member"), such Exercising Member may purchase such Non-Exercising Member's unpurchased Applicable Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities.

(f) Closing of the Issuance. The closing of any purchase of New Securities by any Pre-emptive Member shall be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the issuance or sale described in the Issuance Notice. The Company, in the discretion of the Board pursuant to Section 3.06(a), may deliver to each Exercising Member certificates evidencing the New Securities. Each Exercising Member shall deliver to the Company the purchase price for the New Securities purchased by it by certified or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each party to the purchase and sale of New Securities shall take all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the purchase and sale including, without limitation, entering into such additional agreements as may be necessary or appropriate in the discretion of the Preferred Unit Member.

ARTICLE X

(a) Each Member acknowledges and agrees that such Member (or any Permitted Transferee of such Member) shall not Transfer any Units except as permitted pursuant to Section 10.02 or in accordance with the procedures described in Section 10.03 through Section 10.07, as applicable. No Transfer of Units to a Person not already a Member of the Company shall be deemed completed until the prospective Transferee is admitted as a Member of the Company in accordance with Section 4.01(b) hereof. The Common Unit Member acknowledges and agrees that its Affiliates may not Transfer or cause the Transfer of any Units except as provided herein and such Affiliates may not transfer their equity interest in the Common Unit Member except in accordance with this Article X. For clarity, any equity interest in the Common Unit Member owned by an Affiliate of the Common Unit Member shall be subject to the restrictions of this Article X and the right of first refusal rights, drag-along and tag-along rights of the Sponsor under this Article X to the same extent and in the same manner as the Units held by the Common Unit Member.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 10.02), each Member agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, Transfer any of its Units, and the Company agrees that it shall not issue any Units:

(i) except as permitted under the Securities Act and other applicable federal or state securities or blue sky laws, and then, with respect to a Transfer of Units, if requested by the Company, only upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act;

(ii) if such Transfer or issuance would cause the Company to be considered a "publicly traded partnership" under Section 7704(b) of the Code within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii), including the look-through rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3);

(vii) if such Transfer or issuance would cause the assets of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to be deemed "Plan Assets" as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or its accompanying regulations or result in any "prohibited transaction" thereunder involving the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

In any event, the Board may refuse the Transfer to any Person if such Transfer would have a material adverse effect on the Company as a result of any regulatory or other restrictions imposed by any Governmental Authority.

(c) Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Units in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void, no such Transfer shall be recorded on the Company's books and the purported Transferee in any such Transfer shall not be treated (and the purported Transferor shall continue be treated) as the owner of such Units for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, any Transfer of Units permitted by Section 10.02 or made in accordance with the procedures described in Section 10.03 through Section 10.07, as applicable, and purporting to be a sale, transfer, assignment or other disposal of the entire Membership Interest represented by such Units, inclusive of all the rights and benefits applicable to such Membership Interest as described in the definition of the term "Membership Interest," shall be deemed a sale, transfer, assignment or other disposal of such Membership Interest in its entirety as intended by the parties to such Transfer, and shall not be deemed a sale, transfer, assignment or other disposal of any less than all of the rights and benefits described in the definition of the term "Membership Interest," unless otherwise explicitly agreed to by the parties to such Transfer.

Section 10.02 Permitted Transfers. The provisions of Section 10.01(a), Section 10.03, Section 10.04 (with respect to the Dragging Member only) and Section 10.05 shall not apply to any of the following Transfers by any Member of any of its Units:

The transfers referenced in this Section 10.02(b) are individually a “Simple Growth Permitted Transfer” and collectively the “Simple Growth Permitted Transfers.”

(a) Offered Units.

(i) At any time, and subject to the terms and conditions specified in Section 10.01, Section 10.02 and this Section 10.03, the Company, first, and the Sponsor, second, shall have a right of first refusal if a Member holding Common Units or an Affiliate of the member holding Common Units or equity interests in the Common Unit Member (the "Offering Member") receives a bona fide offer that the Offering Member desires to accept to Transfer all or any portion of the Common Units or in the case of an Affiliate of the Common Unit Member, any equity interests it owns in the Common Unit Member (the "Offered Units").

(ii) As used herein, the term "Applicable ROFR Rightholder" shall mean the Sponsor and its designees. Applicable ROFR Rightholder shall include the Sponsor and each of its Affiliates (including funds and other investment vehicles that have affiliated but not identical managing members or general partners).

(b) Offering; Exceptions. Each time the Offering Member receives an offer for a Transfer of any of its Common Units that, (i) are proposed to be made by a Dragging Member or required to be made by a Drag-along Member pursuant to Section 10.04, or (ii) are made by a Tag-along Member upon the exercise of its tag-along right pursuant to Section 10.05 after the Company and Applicable ROFR Rightholder have declined to exercise their rights in full under this Section 10.03), the Offering Member shall first make an offering of the Offered Units to the Company, first, and the Applicable ROFR Rightholder, second, all in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 10.03, prior to Transferring such Offered Units to the proposed purchaser.

(i) The Offering Member shall, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the Transfer offer, give written notice (the "Offering Member Notice") to the Company and the Applicable ROFR Rightholder stating that it has received a bona fide offer for a Transfer of its Common Units and specifying:

(b) Accounting. As promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the Liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company's assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable.

(c) Distribution of Proceeds. The Liquidator shall liquidate the assets of the Company and Distribute the proceeds of such liquidation in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of Applicable Law:

Any such Distribution in kind will be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operating of such properties at such time.

Section 14.02 Liabilities and Duties of Covered Persons.

(a) Limitation of Liability. This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any Covered Person.

(a) Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by the North Carolina Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the North Carolina Act permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment, substitution or replacement), the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless, defend, pay and reimburse any Covered Person against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against such losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines or liabilities, and any amounts expended in settlement of any claims (collectively, "Losses") to which such Covered Person may become subject by reason of:

(i) Any act or omission or alleged act or omission performed or omitted to be performed on behalf of the Company, any Member or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the foregoing in connection with the business of the Company; or

In connection with the foregoing, the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Covered Person did not act in good faith or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Covered Person's conduct was unlawful, or that the Covered Person's conduct constituted fraud or willful misconduct.

(b) Reimbursement. The Company shall promptly reimburse (and/or advance to the extent reasonably required) each Covered Person for reasonable legal or other expenses (as incurred) of such Covered Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any claim, lawsuit or other proceeding relating to any Losses for which such Covered Person may be indemnified pursuant to this Section 14.03; provided, that if it is finally judicially determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to the indemnification provided by this Section 14.03, then such Covered Person shall promptly reimburse the Company for any reimbursed or advanced expenses.

(c) Entitlement to Indemnity. The indemnification provided by this Section 14.03 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 14.03 shall continue to afford protection to each Covered Person regardless of whether such Covered Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Covered Person became entitled to indemnification under this Section 14.03 and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such Covered Person.

(d) Insurance. To the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, the Company may purchase, at its expense, insurance to cover Losses covered by the foregoing indemnification provisions and to otherwise cover Losses for any breach or alleged breach by any Covered Person of such Covered Person's duties in such amount and with such deductibles as the Board may determine; provided, that the failure to obtain such insurance shall not affect the right to indemnification of any Covered Person under the indemnification provisions contained herein, including the right to be reimbursed or advanced expenses or otherwise indemnified for Losses hereunder. If any Covered Person recovers any amounts in respect of any Losses from any insurance coverage, then such Covered Person shall, to the extent that such recovery is duplicative, reimburse the Company for any amounts previously paid to such Covered Person by the Company in respect of such Losses.

(e) Funding of Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any indemnity by the Company relating to the matters covered in this Section 14.03 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Member (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity by the Company.

(f) Savings Clause. If this Section 14.03 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person pursuant to this Section 14.03 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 14.03 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

(g) Amendment. The provisions of this Section 14.03 shall be a contract between the Company, on the one hand, and each Covered Person who served in such capacity at any time while this Section 14.03 is in effect, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Company and each such Covered Person intend to be legally bound. No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 14.03 that adversely affects the rights of a Covered Person to indemnification for Losses incurred or relating to a state of facts existing prior to such amendment, modification or repeal shall apply in such a way as to eliminate or reduce such Covered Person's entitlement to indemnification for such Losses without the Covered Person's prior written consent.

Section 14.04 Survival. The provisions of this Article XIV shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up and termination of the Company.

Section 15.06 Entire Agreement.

(a) This Agreement, together with the Articles of Incorporation, each Unit Purchase Agreement and all related Exhibits and Schedules, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter, including any prior operating agreement and any correspondence or letter agreements between Xx.

Section 15.09 Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing executed by the Company and all of the Members.

Section 15.10 Waiver. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 15.10 shall diminish any of the explicit and implicit waivers described in this Agreement, including, without limitation, in Section 4.07(f), Section 10.03(d)(v), Section 10.04(b)(ii), Section 10.05(e) and Section 15.13 hereof.

Section 15.12 Submission to Jurisdiction. The parties hereby agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be brought in the United States District Court for the District of North Carolina or in the Court of Chancery of the State of North Carolina (or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in the Superior Court of the State of North Carolina), so long as one of such courts shall have subject-matter jurisdiction over such suit, action or proceeding, and that any case of action arising out of this Agreement shall be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of North Carolina. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient form. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by registered mail to the address set forth in Section 15.03 shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court.

Section 15.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 15.14 Equitable Remedies. Each party hereto acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm to the other parties, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such party of any such obligations, each of the other parties hereto shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to them in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

Section 15.15 [Reserved.]

Section 15.16 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise, except to the extent expressly provided in Section 14.02 to the contrary.

Section 15.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of Electronic Transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

Section 15.18 Company Legal Matters. Good Hemp, Inc. and Simple Growth, for themselves and their respective members, managers, partners, officers, directors, owners, employees, agents or Affiliates, each hereby acknowledge that Good Hemp, Inc., as the holder of a majority of the Preferred and Common Units, considered as a single class, has engaged Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, PLLC to represent Good Hemp, Inc. in connection with the formation of the Company and the offering of Units in the Company.
