2. Payments of Principal and Interest.
2.1 Payments. Interest payments shall be due and payable on the applicable Payment Date. Except as provided in the Investor Agreement, the principal and interest payable on the Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding such Payment Date or maturity date in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Issuer and any paying agent thereof may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note at the Holder’s address as it appears on the register books of the Issuer as kept by the Issuer or duly authorized agent of the Issuer (whether or not this Note shall be overdue), for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account hereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor any paying agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Such payments shall continue until the entire indebtedness evidenced by the Note and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees are fully paid, with any unpaid principal and interest due and payable on the Initial Maturity Date shown above unless the Issuer has extended the maturity date until the Final Maturity Date. The Issuer shall only be obligated to make any payment on this Note if and only if, and only to the extent that, the Issuer receives Loan Net Payments relating to the corresponding Loan series identified above. Should the Issuer not receive any payments from the corresponding Loan, the Issuer will not owe anything to Holder. Holder shall not have any right to proceeds from any other Note of a different series. All payments made to or upon the order of such registered Holder
shall, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, effectively satisfy and discharge liability for moneys payable on this Note.
2.2 Initial Maturity Date; Final Maturity Date. Each Note will mature on the Initial Maturity Date, provided, however, that if on the Initial Maturity Date any principal or interest payments in respect of the Loan remain due and payable to the Issuer, the maturity date of this Note will be automatically extended to the Final Maturity Date. Subsequent to the Final Maturity Date, the Issuer will have no further obligations with respect to any payments under the Notes irrespective of the Issuer’s receipt of Loan Net Payments thereafter.
2.2 Interest. Interest on the unpaid principal balance will accrue at an annual rate equal to the Interest Rate shown above from the date of this Note. The Loan is computed based on a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest computed based on a 360-day year is greater than interest computed based on a 365-day year.
2.3 Late Fees; Extensions. The Issuer shall charge an additional 50% management fee for any fees from the Loans that incur late charges, postponement and extension fees, processing fees, default interest charged to the borrower, forbearance fees, inspection fees, administrative fees and any other payments or fees due from the borrower (except for returned check or non-sufficient funds charges, which will always be retained in full by the Issuer), net of any third-party servicing fees. In addition, any legal fees or additional collections or servicing fees will be deducted from the proceeds of the Loan. These fees will correspondingly reduce the amount of any payments the Investor member will receive on the Notes and are not reflected in the yield percentage displayed in listings. If any withholding tax is imposed on any payment made by the Issuer to the Holder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise payable with respect to such payment. Upon request of the Issuer, the Holder shall provide the Issuer with Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, WBEN, W-8ECI, W-8IMY or other similar withholding certificate of a state, local, or foreign governmental authority such that the Issuer may make payments on the Note without deduction for any tax.

Our right to make such modifications to this Note shall not be affected or limited in any way whatsoever by restrictions or prohibitions, if any, on cancellation, termination or modification by us of any Borrower Loan that may be enforceable against us by the corresponding Borrower Member or any other party.
2.5 Currency. All payments of principal and interest on this Note due to the Holder hereof shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds in the form of a credit to the Holder’s account with the Issuer, which can be transferred to Holder’s personal bank account by ACH upon request. Requests to expedite the transfer of funds to a Holder’s bank account by wire will incur an additional charge of up to one-hundred dollars ($100). All Dollar amounts used in or resulting from the calculation of amounts due in respect of this Note shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).
2.6 Prepayment; Balloon Payment. The Issuer may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without any penalty. All prepayments of principal on this Note shall be applied to the most remote principal installment or installments then unpaid. Principal on this Note will typically be paid by a final balloon payment. Interest stops accruing as of the date of final payoff by the Borrower, though the Issuer will generally distribute the final balloon payment five (5) business days after receipt by us or our third party servicer. Interest will not accrue on those five (5) business days, which are used to transfer, audit, and approve distributions to Holders.
3. Series Note. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of special limited obligations of the Issuer. The Notes are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by all terms of the Investor Agreement, certain of which are summarized hereon, and Holders are referred to the Investor Agreement and the Circular for a full statement of such terms.

INVESTOR AGREEMENT
The following terms constitute a binding agreement (this “Agreement”) between the Investor (“you”) and Sow Good Investments, Series 1-001, a series of Sow Good Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its applicable affiliates, collectively, “Issuer,” “we”, or “us”). This Agreement will govern all purchases of Notes (as defined below) that you may, from time to time, make from Issuer. Please carefully read this Agreement, the terms of use (“Terms of Use”) and the privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) on the website xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx (together with any subdomain or affiliated Issuer site, collectively, the “Site”) and print and retain a copy of these documents for your records. The Notes may be issued in one or more separate series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, mature at different times, bear interest at different rates, be subject to different covenants and events of default. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, you and Issuer agree as follows:
1. Use of Platform. By signing this Agreement electronically, you hereby (a) agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (b) consent to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy; and (c) agree to transact business with us and receive communications relating to the Notes electronically. We reserve the right to terminate or rescind your right and eligibility to purchase Notes or to use the Site (i) at any time prior to your purchase of any Note and (ii) at any time subsequent to your purchase of any Note, with respect to or for the purpose of purchasing any new or additional Notes or otherwise except in connection with any Note you currently hold and your ownership interest therein.
2. Purchase of Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we will provide you the opportunity through the Site:
·To review the terms of portions of loans (“Loans”) that Issuer has received from its borrower (“Borrower”);
·To purchase Notes, generally in minimum denominations of five hundred dollars ($500) and integral multiples of one hundred dollars ($100.00) in excess thereof, through the Site, each such Note associated with, and dependent on, payments from a specific Loan (each a “Note,” and collectively, “Notes”); and
·To instruct Issuer to apply the proceeds from the sale of each Note that you purchase to the funding of a specific Loan as designated on the Site.
3. Investment Commitments. Any investment commitment you place on a loan request (“Series Note Listing”) is a commitment by you to purchase a Note from Issuer in the principal amount of the commitment you placed on the loan listing. If the amount available for purchase on a loan listing is less than the amount of your commitment, your commitment will be deemed to be in the amount still available for purchase. The purchase price for any Notes you purchase through the Site will equal 100% of the principal amount of such Notes. At the time you commit to purchase a Note, you must have sufficient funds in your account with Issuer or your bank account to complete the purchase. Once you place an investment commitment on a loan listing, it is irrevocable by you regardless of whether the full amount of the loan listing is funded. If you do not qualify to invest in the Notes or Issuer determines for any reason to reject your commitment, Issuer reserves the right to reject your commitment by giving notice. The Platform does not warrant or guaranty that you will be able to place a commitment on any Series Note Listing before it receives commitments totaling the requested loan amount. Our manager or parent company may allocate some of its Loan opportunities to other funding channels.
4. Issuance of Notes. Each time you purchase a Note, such Note will generally be issued within one (1) business day following your signing of the Note; receipt of funds; and verification of your accredited investor status. We shall have no obligation to issue or sell, and you shall have no right to purchase or receive, a Note corresponding to an Loan if the relevant Loan is canceled by us in our sole discretion (for example, if there is attempted fraud or a security breach).
5. Terms of Notes. The Notes shall have the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and each Note. You understand and acknowledge that we may, in our sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, amend or waive any term of an Loan or partially or completely cancel any Loan or reduce or modify the amount of principal or interest outstanding thereon. Under certain circumstances, in order to maximize recovery for investors, we may, in our sole discretion, reduce principal or interest on the Notes in a manner that is pro rata to any such reductions on the corresponding Loan. Our right under this Agreement to make such amendments, waivers and modifications to the Notes shall not be affected or limited in any way whatsoever by restrictions or prohibitions, if any, on cancellation, termination or modification by us of any Loan that may be enforceable against us by the corresponding Borrower Member or any other party.
6. Limitation on Transfer. The Notes are not transferrable without the prior written consent of the Issuer, which may be granted or withheld in the Issuer’s sole discretion.
7. Redemption by Issuer. You understand, acknowledge and, hereby, agree that Issuer may, in its sole discretion, at any time, redeem any outstanding Note at any time by paying you, in cash or any other form selected by Issuer in its sole discretion, an amount equal to the outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest on such Note.

10. Taxes. You and Issuer agree that the Notes are intended to be indebtedness of the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You agree that you will not take any position inconsistent with such treatment of the Notes for tax, accounting, or other purposes, unless required by applicable law. You further acknowledge that the Notes will be subject to the original issue discount rules of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as described in the Private Placement Circular for such Notes. You acknowledge that you are prepared to bear the risk of loss of your entire purchase price for any Notes you purchase. NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY TO THE OTHER REGARDING THE EFFECT THAT THIS AGREEMENT MAY HAVE UPON THE FOREIGN, FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAX LIABILITY OF THE OTHER.
11. Indemnification. You hereby indemnify and agree to defend and hold harmless each of Issuer and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, independent contractors, consultants, attorneys, advisors, shareholders, members, partners, successors, estates and assignees (each, an “Indemnified party”) from and against any loss, suit, claim, proceeding, award, judgment, settlement, cost, liability, damage or expense (including attorneys’, accountants’ and advisors’ fees and expenses and any expenses incurred in investigating or defending any such loss or threatened loss), arising out of or in connection with (i) any breach of any material term hereof, including securities law compliance pursuant to Section 9, or (ii) any fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or unlawful activity by or on behalf of you affecting any Indemnified party; provided that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties agree that (x) your representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 9 shall be deemed material terms hereof.
12. No Recording. You agree that you shall not (i) record this Agreement or any memorandum thereof or (ii) execute, acknowledge, deliver, file or record any security agreement, financing statement or similar security instrument in any way related to or arising out of the interest(s), right(s) or obligation(s) under this Agreement. Any such recordation, execution, acknowledgment, delivery or filing, shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Notes, expressed or implied, shall be construed to constitute, or acknowledge or authorize the creation of, a security interest, lien or collateral under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other law or regulation, as now or hereafter enacted and in effect, in any jurisdiction. You acknowledge and agree that you have no direct rights with respect to the Loan, the loan mortgage, the property pledged pursuant to the Loan or any other assets of Issuer.
13. Limitations on Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ANY PARTY, OR ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, AGENT, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, CONSULTANT, ATTORNEY, ADVISOR, SUCCESSOR, ESTATE OR ASSIGNEE THEREOF, BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE TO THE OTHER PARTY, OR ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, AGENT, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, CONSULTANT, ATTORNEY, ADVISOR, SUCCESSOR, ESTATE OR ASSIGNEE THEREOF, FOR, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES WITH RESPECT TO THE OTHER PARTY, ANY TYPE OF INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST REVENUE, TURNOVER OR PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF
CAPITAL, REPLACEMENT GOODS, LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY, BARGAIN, RIGHTS OR SERVICES OR LOSS OF TIME), EVEN IF SUCH PARTY (OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE) HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING UNDER THEORY OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE OR REGULATION OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY SPECIFIED HEREIN WILL SURVIVE AND APPLY EVEN IF FOUND OR ALLEGED TO HAVE FAILED OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
14. Restrictions on Use. Issuer may in its sole discretion, with or without cause and with or without notice, restrict your access to the Platform or the Site. Except as provided in this Agreement, (i) you are not authorized or permitted to use the Platform to place purchase commitments on loan listings or to purchase Notes for someone other than yourself; and (ii) you must be an owner of the deposit account you designate for electronic transfers of funds, with authority to direct that funds be transferred to or from the account. Individuals who are registered investors may also register and participate on the Issuer platform as a Borrower Member. If you obtain one or more Borrower Loans through the platform, amounts in your Issuer funding account are subject to set-off against any delinquent amounts owing on your Borrower Loans. Amounts in your Issuer funding account are also subject to setoff against any shortfall resulting from ACH returns of transfers or deposits of funds to your Issuer funding account. You will not receive further notice in advance of our exercise of our right to set-off amounts in your Issuer funding account against any delinquent amounts owing on any Borrower Loans you obtain. You may not solicit current or past borrowers to directly fund any of their future loans.
15. No Guarantee of Returns or Payments. ISSUER (WHICH AS SET FORTH IN THE INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPHS HEREOF INCLUDES ALL AFFILIATES.) DOES NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE ANY RATE OF RETURN, ANY MINIMUM AMOUNT OF PRINCIPAL OR INTEREST OR ANY PRINCIPAL OR INTEREST AT ALL ON ANY NOTE. THE AMOUNT YOU RECEIVE ON A NOTE IS WHOLLY DEPENDENT UPON THE BORROWER MEMBER'S PAYMENT PERFORMANCE ON THE LOAN CORRESPONDING TO YOUR NOTE. Issuer DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY LOANS OR NOTES AND DOES NOT ACT AS A GUARANTOR OF ANY LOAN PAYMENT OR PAYMENTS BY ANY BORROWER MEMBER. YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BORROWER MEMBERS MAY DEFAULT ON THE LOANS CORRESPONDING TO YOUR NOTES, AND THAT SUCH DEFAULTS MAY NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE AMOUNT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST (IF ANY) YOU RECEIVE ON YOUR NOTES.
16. No Warranties. EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SEPCIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES TO THE OTHER PARTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
17. Consent to Electronic Transactions and Disclosures. Because Issuer operates only on the Internet, it is necessary for you to consent to transact business with us online and electronically.

21. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES COVERED UNDER SECTION 20, EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

The titles, headings, captions and section numbers used in this Agreement or the Notes are for convenience of reference only and may not be used or considered by any person or party in construing or interpreting this Agreement and such titles, headings, captions and section numbers shall not be deemed in
any way to limit, extend or amplify the scope, extent or intent of this Agreement or the Notes, or any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, respectively. All references to dollar amounts in this Agreement or in any Note shall mean amounts in lawful money of the United States of America. Any ambiguities in this Agreement or the Notes shall not be construed strictly against the drafter of the language concerned, but shall be resolved by applying the most reasonable interpretation under the circumstances, giving full consideration to the intentions of the parties at the time of contracting.
23. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, such provision will be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and such provision as so reformed will continue in effect, to the extent consistent with the intent of the parties as of the date hereof. If any provision or part of this Agreement will, to any extent, be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in effect, and every other provision of this Agreement will remain valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted by applicable law. In such event, the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and such provision as so reformed will continue in effect, to the extent consistent with the intent of the parties as of the date hereof. IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT EACH AND EVERY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT WHICH PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES, IS INTENDED BY THE PARTIES TO BE SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ANY OTHER PROVISION AND TO BE ENFORCED AS SUCH.
24. Force Majeure; Survival. Neither party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement to the extent that performance of its obligations or attempts to cure any breach are delayed, restricted or prevented by reason of any act of God, fire, natural disaster, act of government, strikes or labor disputes, any actual or threatened act of terrorism, inability to provide raw materials, power or supplies, or any other similar act or condition beyond the reasonable control of the parties (collectively, a “Force Majeure”); provided that the party so affected provides prompt notice and uses its commercially efforts to avoid or remove the causes of nonperformance and continues performance hereunder immediately after such causes are removed. Upon such circumstances arising, the parties agree to discuss in good faith what, if any, modification may be required to the terms of this Agreement, in order to reach a resolution, but shall not be obligated to agree to any specific course of action. In the event that any act of Force Majeure prevents either party from carrying out its obligations under this Agreement for a period of more than thirty (30) days, the party not so affected may terminate this Agreement upon fourteen (14) days' written notice to the other party, without any liability to either party except for any liability accruing prior to and independently of such termination.

Any Notes you purchase from Issuer prior to the effective date of any such action by Issuer shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
27. Right to Modify Terms. Issuer has the right to change any term or provision of this Agreement. Issuer will give you notice of material changes to this Agreement in the manner set forth in Section 18 and any such modified term or provision shall become applicable with respect to Note you purchase after the date Issuer provides such notice. By purchasing any Note after the date of such notice, you agree that you will be deemed to have accepted any such modified term or provision. You authorize Issuer to correct obvious
clerical errors appearing in information you provide to Issuer, without notice to you, although Issuer expressly undertakes no obligation to identify or correct such errors.
28. Non-solicitation of Borrowers. Investors may not circumvent the Platform and directly solicit any current or past Borrower for funding or investments either during the term of an existing Note or at any point in the future.
29. Assignment. You may not assign, transfer, sublicense or otherwise delegate your rights or responsibilities under this Agreement to any person without Issuer’s prior written consent. Any such assignment, transfer, sublicense or delegation in violation of this section shall be null and void. Any waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not be a waiver of any subsequent breach. Failure or delay by either party to enforce any term or condition of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such term or condition. The exercise by either party of any remedy hereunder, if any, will be without prejudice to its other remedies under this Agreement or otherwise and all remedies hereunder shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of or in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise. The provisions of the Terms of Use and Privacy policy are hereby incorporated in this Agreement by reference in their entirety.

This Agreement may be modified, amended or cancelled, and compliance with any of its provisions waived, only by an instrument in writing executed by all the parties in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Issuer may assign this Agreement at any time without your permission, unless prohibited by applicable law.
30. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and documents or information incorporated herein by reference, together with the Terms of Use, Privacy policy and any Notes purchased or held by you, constitutes the sole and entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions, agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

PRIVACY POLICY
|
Please review the privacy set forth herein:
This privacy policy explains the manner in which the Fund and the Managing Member collect, utilize and maintain nonpublic personal information regarding our advisory clients, as required under applicable law.
Collection of Client Information. We collect personal information about our clients mainly through the following sources:
·subscription documents, application forms, due diligence and other questionnaires and other information provided by the client in writing, in person, by telephone, electronically or by any other means. This information includes name, address, nationality, tax identification number, and financial and investment qualifications and objectives; and
·transactions within the Fund, including account balances, investments and redemptions.
Disclosure of Nonpublic Personal Information. We do not sell or rent client information. We do not disclose nonpublic personal information about our clients or former clients to any party, including other clients, except as permitted by law. For example, we may share nonpublic personal information with service providers (e.g., attorneys, accountants, General Partners and other professionals) in connection with the administration and servicing of your investment in the Fund but will not share such information with any others, including any other client. In addition, we may disclose information to service providers, including General Partners and counterparties with whom we do business, in order to satisfy any anti-money laundering related customer identification procedures required by any laws or regulations applicable to such entities.
Protection of Client Information. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with U.S. federal standards to protect your nonpublic personal information. Our policy is to require that all employees, financial professionals and companies providing services on our behalf keep our client information confidential. In particular, we restrict access to the personal and account information of clients to those employees who need to know that information in the course of their job responsibilities. Also, third parties with whom we share client information must agree to follow appropriate standards of security and confidentiality.
Access to Limited Partner Information. We do not share and the Partnership will not disclose any information relating to Limited Partners with any other limited partner. To that end, the Partnership will not provide any Limited Partner the name, addresses, telephone or other contact information, account information or subscription documents with any other Limited Partner.
Changes to Privacy Policy. We will not change our privacy policy in the future in a way that affects you without first sending you a revised privacy policy describing the change
