The Bonds will be issued in denominations of $1,000.00 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall pay principal and interest on the Bonds in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts (“U.S. Legal Tender”). Principal and interest on the Bonds will be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose except that, at the option of the Company, the payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the holders of Bonds at their respective addresses set forth in the Bond Register, maintained by the Company or agent designated by the Company for such purpose.
SECTION 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, _______, the Company will act as paying agent and registrar. The Company may change the paying agent or registrar without notice to the holders of Bonds.
SECTION 4. Optional Redemption. The Company may redeem the Bonds, in whole or in part, without penalty. If the Bonds are extended for an Extension Period, the Company may redeem the Bonds at any time during such Extension Period. Any redemption of a Bond will be at a price equal to the then outstanding principal on the Bonds being redeemed, plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Bonds. If the Company plans to redeem the Bonds, the Company will give notice of redemption not less than 5 days nor more than 60 days prior to any redemption date to each such holder’s address appearing in the Bond Register. In the event the Company elects to redeem less than all of the Bonds, the particular Bonds to be redeemed will be selected by the Company by such method as the Company shall deem fair and appropriate.
SECTION 5. Redemption at Option of Holder.
(a) Bonds will be redeemable at the election of the Bondholder beginning any time after a 12 month period after the issuance date of such Bond to Bondholder. In order to request redemption, the Bondholder must provide written notice to the Company at the Company’s principal place of business that the Bondholder requests redemption of all or a portion of the Bondholder’s Bonds (a “Notice of Redemption”). The Company will have 120 days from the date such notice is provided to redeem the Bondholder’s Bonds, at a price per Bond equal to $950 plus any accrued but unpaid interest on the Bond. The Company’s obligation to redeem Bonds with respect to Notices of Redemption received in any given Redemption Period (as defined below) is limited to an aggregate principal amount of Bonds during any Redemption Period equal to the 10% Limit (as defined below).
(b) Any Bonds redeemed as a result of a Bondholder's right upon death, disability or bankruptcy set forth in Section 6 will be included in calculating the 10% Limit and will thus reduce the number of Bonds available to be redeemed pursuant to this Section. Bond redemptions set forth in this Section will occur in the order that notices are received.
(c) “10% Limit” shall mean 10% of the aggregate principal of Bonds outstanding at the commencement of the current calendar year; provided, however, during the pendency of the Offering, such amount shall be updated to equal 10% of the aggregate principal of Bonds outstanding at the commencement of the current calendar quarter.
(d) “Offering” shall mean that certain offering for sale of the Bonds whether pursuant to an Offering Statement on Form 1-A (or other SEC registration statement) or pursuant to a private placement, as the same may be amended.

SECTION 6. Redemption upon Death, Disability or Bankruptcy.
(a) Subject to subsection (b) below, within 90 days of the death, Disability (as defined below) or Bankruptcy (as defined below) of a holder who is a natural person or a person who beneficially holds Bonds (a “Holder Redemption Event”), the estate of such Person, such Person, or legal representative of such Person may require the Company to redeem, in whole but not in part, without penalty, the Bonds held or beneficially held by such Person, as the case may be, by delivering to the Company a written notice requesting such Bonds be redeemed (a “Qualifying Redemption Request”). Redemptions due to death, disability or bankruptcy shall count towards the annual 10% limit on redemptions described above; provided, however, that any redemptions pursuant to death, disability or bankruptcy shall not be subject to the 10% limit. Any Qualifying Redemption Request shall specify the particular Holder Redemption Event giving rise to the right of the holder or beneficial holder to have his or her Bonds redeemed by the Company. If a Bond or beneficial interest is held jointly by natural persons who are legally married, then a Qualifying Redemption Request may be made by (i) the surviving holder or beneficial holder upon the occurrence of a Holder Redemption Event arising by virtue of a death, or (ii) the disabled or bankrupt holder or beneficial holder (or a legal representative) upon the occurrence of a Holder Redemption Event arising by virtue of a Disability or Bankruptcy. In the event a Bond or beneficial interest is held together by two or more natural persons that are not legally married (regardless of whether held as joint tenants, co-tenants or otherwise), neither of these persons shall have the right to request that the Company repurchase such Bond or beneficial interest unless a Holder Redemption Event has occurred for all such co-holders or co-beneficial holders of such Bond.
Disability shall mean with respect to any Bondholder or beneficial holder, a determination of disability based upon a physical or mental condition or impairment arising after the date such Bondholder or beneficial holder first acquired Bonds. Any such determination of disability must be made by any of: (1) the Social Security Administration; (2) the U.S. Office of Personnel Management; or (3) the Veteran’s Benefits Administration, or the Applicable Governmental Agency, responsible for reviewing the disability retirement benefits that the applicable Bondholder or beneficial holder could be eligible to receive.
Bankruptcy shall mean, with respect to any Bondholder the final adjudication related to (i) the filing of any petition seeking to adjudicate the Bondholder bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking for itself any liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of such Bondholder or such Bondholder’s debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking, consenting to, or acquiescing in the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, or other similar official for such Person or for any substantial part of its property, or (ii) without the consent or acquiescence of such Bondholder, the entering of an order for relief or approving a petition for relief or reorganization or any other petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or other similar relief under any bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, or other similar statute, law, or regulation, or, without the consent or acquiescence of such Bondholder, the entering of an order appointing a trustee, custodian, receiver, or liquidator of such Bondholder or of all or any substantial part of the property of such Bondholder which order shall not be dismissed within ninety (90) days.
(b) Upon receipt of a Qualifying Redemption Request under subsection (a) above, the Company shall designate a date for the redemption of such Bond and notify the holder of such redemption date, which date shall not be later than 30 days after the Company receives facts or certifications establishing to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company the occurrence of a Holder Redemption Event. Any redemption of a Bond under this Section will be at a price equal to all accrued and unpaid interest, to but not including the date on which the Bonds are redeemed, plus the then outstanding principal amount of such Bond.
