provided in this Agreement, all items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction, and any other allocations not otherwise provided
for shall be divided among the Members in the same proportions as they share Profits or Losses, as the case may be, for the year.

 

7.5.7: The Members are aware
of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article 7 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this
Article 7 in reporting their shares of Company Profits, Losses and other allocable items for income tax purposes.

  

7.6 Code Section 704(c) Allocations.

 

7.6.1: Income, gains, losses
and deductions, as determined for Federal income tax purposes, for any Company asset which has a Gross Asset Value that differs
from its adjusted basis for Federal income tax purposes shall, solely for Federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members
so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the Company asset to the Company for Federal income tax purposes
and its initial Gross Asset Value in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations hereunder. In furtherance
of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that any income, gain, loss, or deduction attributable to Code Section 704(c) property
shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the traditional method of making Code Section 704(c) allocations, in accordance
with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b).

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

7.6.2: If the Gross Asset
Value of any Company asset is adjusted, subsequent allocations of income, gain, losses and deductions, as determined for Federal
income tax purposes, for the Company asset shall, solely for Federal income tax purposes, take account of any variation between
the adjusted basis of the Company asset for Federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code
Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations hereunder.

 

7.6.3: Allocations under
this Section 7.6 are solely for purposes of Federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken
into account in computing any Member’s Capital Account.

 

7.6.4: Except as otherwise
set forth in this Agreement, any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this Section 7.6 shall be made by the
Manager, with the review and concurrence of the Company’s accountants, in a manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and
intention of this Agreement.

 

7.7 Intent of Allocations.
It is the intent of the Company that this Agreement comply with the safe harbor test set out in Treasury Regulation Sections
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and 1.704-2 and the requirements of those Sections, including the qualified income offset and minimum gain
charge- back, which are hereby incorporated by reference. If, for whatever reasons, the Company is advised by counsel or its accountants
that the allocation provisions of this Agreement are unlikely to be respected for federal income tax purposes, the Manager is granted
the authority to amend the allocation provisions of this Agreement, to the minimum extent deemed necessary by counsel or its accountants
to effect the plan of allocations and distributions provided in this Agreement. In addition, if the Manager is required to make
any special allocations of Company Profits, Losses, income, gain or deductions to comply with the requirements of the Regulations,
the Manager shall make such special allocations in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such allocations are
made, each Member's Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would
have had if the allocations mandated by the Regulations were not required to be made. The Manager shall have the discretion to
adopt and revise rules, conventions and procedures as it believes appropriate for the admission of Members to reflect Members’
Participation Percentages in the Company at the close of the years.

 

7.8 Quarterly Valuation
of Assets. For each of the Company’s Note Investments and other investments, the Manager shall review the investments
at the end of each calendar quarter and determine if a Write-down is required with respect thereto. The Manager shall cause the
Company’s accountants, within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar quarter, to verify that the Manager’s determination
was made in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles. Any Write-down of an asset resulting from the valuation shall
be effective on the last day of the respective calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement.

 

7.9 Limitation on Distributions. The Company
shall make no distribution to the Members unless the assets of the Company following such distribution will exceed the total liabilities
of the Company, excluding liabilities to Members based on their contributions.

under Section 6231 of the Code and Treasury Regulations hereunder to designate the Manager as the TMP.

10.1 Intentionally left blank

 

10.2 Transfer of Member’s
Unit. To the extent any of the following restrictions are not necessary to the Company, in the discretion of the Manager reasonably
exercised; the Manager may eliminate or modify any restriction. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no assignee of the
whole or any portion of a Member’s interest in the Company shall have the right to become a substituted Member in place of
his assignor, unless the following conditions are first met:

 

10.2.1: Members may only transfer whole units
unless the Member is transferring his entire Membership Interest;

 

10.2.2: The assignor shall designate its intention
in a written instrument of assignment, which shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Manager;

 

10.2.3: The transferring Member
shall first obtain written consent of the Manager to the substitution. The Manager shall not unreasonably withhold its consent,
but the Manager will withhold its consent to the extent necessary to prohibit transfers that could cause the Company to be classified
as a publicly traded partnership. The Manager will also withhold consent if it determines that the sale or transfer will otherwise
jeopardize the continued ability of the Company to qualify as a “partnership” for federal income tax purposes or that
the sale or transfer may violate any applicable securities laws (including any investment suitability standards);

 

10.2.4: The assignor and assignee
named therein shall execute and acknowledge any other instruments as the Manager may deem necessary or desirable to effect the
substitution, including, but not limited to, a power of attorney;

 

    	15

    	 

    

 

10.2.5: The assignee shall accept, adopt and approve
in writing all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement as the same may have been amended;

 

10.2.6: The assignee shall pay
or, at the election of the Manager, obligate himself to pay all reasonable expenses connected with the substitution, including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees associated therewith; and

 

10.2.7: The Company has received,
if required by the Manager, a legal opinion satisfactory to the Manager that the transfer will not violate the registration provisions
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any applicable state securities laws, which opinion shall be furnished at the Member’s
expense.

 

Assignments complying with the above shall be recognized
by the Company on the first day of the calendar month following the month in which the above conditions are met.

 

A Person who acquires an unit
but who is not admitted as a substitute Member by the Manager pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be entitled
only to allocations and distributions with respect to such unit in accordance with this Agreement, but shall have no right to any
information or accounting of the affairs of the Company, shall not be entitled to inspect the books and records of the Company,
and shall not have any of the rights of a member under Delaware Statutes or this Agreement.

  

10.3 Further Restrictions
on Transfers. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the following restrictions shall also
apply to any and all proposed sales, assignments and transfer of units, and any proposed sale, assignment or transfer in violation
of same shall be void and of no effect:

 

10.3.1: No Member shall make any transfer or assignment
of all or any part of his unit if said transfer or assignment would, when considered with all other transfers during the same applicable
twelve month period, cause a termination of the Company for federal or Delaware state income tax (if any) purposes;

 

10.3.2: Notice to California
residents: IT IS UNLAWFUL TO CONSUMMATE A SALE OR TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY, OR ANY UNIT THEREIN OR TO RECEIVE ANY CONSIDERATION
THEREFOR, WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, EXCEPT AS PERMITTED
IN THE COMMISSIONER’S RULES.

 

10.3.3: Appropriate legends
(including the legend above) under applicable securities laws shall be affixed to any certificates evidencing the units and issued
or transferred to purchasers in other states. For a detailed list, see pages 1-7 of the Company’s Private Placement Memorandum.

 

10.3.4: No Member shall make any transfer or assignment
of all or any of his interest if the Manager determines that the transfer or assignment would result in the Company being classified
as a “publicly traded partnership” with the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code or Treasury Regulations. To prevent
that:

 

    	16

    	 

    

 

(a) The Manager will not permit trading of units
on an established securities market within the meaning of Section 7704(b);

 

(b) The Manager will prohibit any transfer of unit
which would not comply with any applicable safe harbors; and

 

(c) The Manager will not permit any withdrawal of any
unit.

 

10.4 Distributions and
Allocations with Respect to Transferred Units. If any unit is assigned during any accounting period in compliance with the
provisions of this Section 10, all Profits, Losses, each item thereof, and all other items attributable to the assigned unit for
such period shall be divided and allocated between the assignee and the assignor by taking into account their varying rights during
the period in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using any convention permitted by law and selected by the Manager. All distributions
on or before the date of such assignment shall be made to the assignor and all distributions thereafter shall be made to the assignee.

six months ending June 30, 2013.

  

11.2.2: The Active Investment
Period begins July 1, 2012 and ends when all funds have been utilized to purchase mortgage notes and land contracts. Depending
upon the amount, additional principal generated by early pay-offs of loans held in the Fund may be distributed to investors in
accordance with their pro-rata ownership or reinvested in additional assets.

 

    	17

    	 

    

  

11.2.3: The Fund will terminate
its existence after all loans have been liquidated and the proceeds thereof have been distributed to investors/members. The Investment
Manager intends to begin liquidating the loans held in the Fund at a point established as 36 months from the date of receipt of
the last subscription but no later than June 30, 2016 and expects to complete liquidation and distribution of the resulting proceeds
by June 30, 2018 with due regard to market conditions and the effect thereof on pricing. The termination date may be extended at
the discretion of the Investment Manager for up to one year to June 30, 2019. In the event the Investment Manager deems it necessary
to extend the termination date beyond June 30, 2018 he shall provide the reason or reasons for doing so in writing to all members.

dates of investors/members.

the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, Manager shall comply with the provisions of Section 1336 of the Act, giving notice of the
dissolution of the Company and the commencement of the winding up of its affairs.

 

12.2 Winding Up. Upon
the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Company shall immediately be dissolved, but shall continue until its affairs have been
wound up according to the provisions of the Delaware Statutes. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Manager will wind up the Company’s

or purchased;

(b) second, to the payment and discharge of all
of the Company’s debts and liabilities, if any, to Members; then

 

(c) the balance, if any,
to the Members in accordance with their Participation Percentage as of the Fund Termination Date.

 

12.3 Compliance with Timing
Requirements of Regulations. If the Company is “liquidated” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g),
distributions shall be made under this Article 12 (if such liquidation constitutes a dissolution of the Company) or Article 7 hereof
(if it does not) to the Members who have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2).

 

12.4 Distributions Held
in Trust Reserves. In the discretion of the Manager, a pro rata share of the distributions that would otherwise be made to
the Members pursuant to this Section 12 may be:

 

12.4.1: Distributed to a
trust established for the benefit of the Members for the purposes of liquidating Company assets, collecting amounts owed to the
Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or of the Members arising out of or
in connection with the Company. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Members from time to time, in the reasonable
discretion of the Manager in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Company would otherwise have been
distributed to the Members pursuant to this Agreement; or

 

12.4.2: Withheld to provide a reasonable reserve
for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to

the Company's liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Company's affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, the Company
shall be deemed to have distributed the Company Property in kind to the Members, who shall be deemed to have assumed and taken
subject to all Company liabilities, all in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts. Immediately thereafter, the Members
shall be deemed to have re-contributed the Company property in kind to the Company, which shall be deemed to have assumed and taken
subject to all such liabilities.

 

    	19

    	 

    

 

12.6 Certificate of Dissolution.
At such time as all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company have been paid, discharged or otherwise provided
for, a certificate of dissolution shall be prepared, signed, and filed by the Manager as provided in Section 1340 of the Act.

 

12.7 No Recourse to Manager.
Upon dissolution and winding up under the Act, each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of his
Capital Account, and if a Member’s Participation Percentage of the Company assets remaining after the payment or discharge
of the debts and liabilities of the Company are insufficient to return the amounts of the Capital Account of Members, Members shall
have no recourse against the Manager or any other Member. The winding-up of the affairs of the Company and the distribution of
its assets shall be conducted exclusively by the Manager. The Manager is hereby authorized to do any and all acts and things authorized
by law for these purposes. If the Manager is removed or resigns and no replacement Manager is appointed by the Super Majority,
the winding-up of the affairs of the Company and the distribution of its assets shall be conducted by the person or entity selected
by a vote of a Super Majority, which person or entity is hereby authorized to do any and all acts and things authorized by law
for such purposes.

Definitions

 

Act means the Delaware Limited Liability
Company Law

 

Affiliate means: (a) any person directly
or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Person; (b) any other Person owning or controlling ten
percent (10%) or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Person; (c) any officer, director or Member of the Person or
(d) if the other Person is an officer, director or Manager, any company for which the Person acts in any similar capacity.

 

Agreement means this Operating Agreement, as amended
from time to time.

 

Acquisition Expenses
means all expenses, including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses, travel and communication expenses, costs of appraisals,

amortization of the Note Investment Cost. It shall be calculated as the ratio of the Note Investment Cost to the total unpaid principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan or Land Contract outstanding at the time of purchase. By way of example, if the Amortization Ratio
is 70%, then 70% of an applicable principal payment amortizes the Note Investment Cost and the remaining 30% is treated as an Investment
Gain. Involuntary principal pre-payments received shall be applied first to fees and expenses associated with the individual Mortgage
Loan or Land Contract, then to amortization of the Note Investment Cost to Members, and then, remaining proceeds, if any, shall
be shared as Investment Gains.

 

Basis means the
total cost to the Company for the acquisition of the Note Investment, including the purchase price for the Note Investment, the
Acquisition Expenses, and the Transaction Fee.

of expenses or losses that are specially allocated to a Member and (iv) the amount of any liabilities of the Member that are assumed
by the Company or that are secured by any property contributed by the Member to the Company.

 

If the Gross Asset Value of
a Company asset is adjusted as a result of a Write-down, the Manager shall concurrently adjust the Capital Accounts of all Members
in order to reflect the aggregate net adjustment that would have occurred if the Company had recognized Losses equal to the Write-down

3.11 Compensation to Manager. Manager
will earn compensation for managing the Company as outlined below:

 

3.11.1: Trading Profits:

 

In an effort to create a mechanism
for profit consistent with Fund operations and objectives, the managing member and portfolio manager established a related / affiliated
entity called Loanmod, LLC (“Loanmod”). Loanmod is operated by the managing member and seeks to create a trading profit
by contracting to purchase loans or loan pools at a price lower than that to be paid by the Fund. Where practicable and in keeping
with the Fund’s overall objective, the manager will purchase loan assets from Loanmod generating a trading profit. Any such
purchase is subject to the duty owed by the Managing Member to the Fund or Funds and based upon the overall quality of the portfolio
purchased, the seasoning of the loan(s) and the value of the collateral securing the loans. Any trading profit realized by Loanmod
will reduce the net return to investors and, therefore, is subject to a self imposed “cap” or limit as follows: Trading
profits as described herein shall not, under any circumstances, exceed 10% of the pool’s total aggregate unpaid balances
at the time of purchase. For example, trading profit from a loan pool with aggregate unpaid balances totaling 1 million dollars
cannot exceed $100,000 (10% of 1,000,000). In most cases, pricing is determined on a loan by loan basis (aka “loan level
pricing”). Each loan in a pool is evaluated based on the underwriting standards described herein to determine the amount,
if any, of trading profit available. Loanmod will not be included in the assignment chain and, therefore, functions as a “riskless
principal” in the transactions described above.

7.4 Reserved

 

7.5 Special Allocation Rules.

 

7.5.1: Any Member with a deficit
Capital Account balance resulting in whole or in part from allocations of loss or deduction (or item thereof) attributable to non-recourse
debt which is secured by Company property shall, to the extent possible, be allocated income or gain (or item thereof) in an amount
not less than the Minimum Gain at a time no later than the time at which the Minimum Gain is reduced below the sum of the deficit
Capital Account balances. This section is intended and shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(f).

 

7.5.2: If any Member unexpectedly
receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4) through 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6)
of the Regulations which causes or increases a deficit in the Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the tax year to which
the adjustment, allocation or distribution relates, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member
in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Capital Account deficit of the
Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 7.5.2 shall be made if and only to the extent
that the Member would have a Capital Account deficit after all other allocations provided for in Section 7.3 through 7.6 have been
tentatively made as if this Section 7.5.2 were not in the Agreement.

 

    	11

    	 

    

 

7.5.3: To the extent an adjustment
to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution
to a Member in complete liquidation of his Interest in the Company, the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall
be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis)
and the gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital
Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.

 

7.5.4:For purposes of determining
the Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to any period, these other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, quarterly
or other basis, as determined by the Manager using any permissible method under Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
hereunder.

 

7.5.5: Notwithstanding Section
7.3, Profits and Losses, if any, allocable to the period before the admission of any Members shall be allocated to the Initial
Member. Profits or Losses allocable to the period commencing with the admission of Members and all subsequent periods shall be
allocated in accordance with Section 7.3.

 

7.5.6: Except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement, all items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction, and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall
be divided among the Members in the same proportions as they share Profits or Losses, as the case may be, for the year.

 

7.5.7: The Members are aware
of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article 7 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this
Article 7 in reporting their shares of Company Profits, Losses and other allocable items for income tax purposes.

 

7.6 Code Section 704(c) Allocations.

 

7.6.1: Income, gains, losses
and deductions, as determined for Federal income tax purposes, for any Company asset which has a Gross Asset Value that differs
from its adjusted basis for Federal income tax purposes shall, solely for Federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members
so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the Company asset to the Company for Federal income tax purposes
and its initial Gross Asset Value in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations hereunder. In furtherance
of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that any income, gain, loss, or deduction attributable to Code Section 704(c) property
shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the traditional method of making Code Section 704(c) allocations, in accordance
with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b).

 

7.6.2: If the Gross Asset Value
of any Company asset is adjusted, subsequent allocations of income, gain, losses and deductions, as determined for Federal income
tax purposes, for the Company asset shall, solely for Federal income tax purposes, take account of any variation between the adjusted
basis of the Company asset for Federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c)
and the Treasury Regulations hereunder.

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

7.6.3: Allocations under this
Section 7.6 are solely for purposes of Federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into
account in computing any Member’s Capital Account.

 

7.6.4: Except as otherwise set
forth in this Agreement, any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this Section 7.6 shall be made by the Manager,
with the review and concurrence of the Company’s accountants, in a manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention
of this Agreement.

 

7.7 Intent of Allocations. It is
the intent of the Company that this Agreement comply with the safe harbor test set out in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)
and 1.704-2 and the requirements of those Sections, including the qualified income offset and minimum gain charge- back, which
are hereby incorporated by reference. If, for whatever reasons, the Company is advised by counsel or its accountants that the allocation
provisions of this Agreement are unlikely to be respected for federal income tax purposes, the Manager is granted the authority
to amend the allocation provisions of this Agreement, to the minimum extent deemed necessary by counsel or its accountants to effect
the plan of allocations and distributions provided in this Agreement. In addition, if the Manager is required to make any special
allocations of Company Profits, Losses, income, gain or deductions to comply with the requirements of the Regulations, the Manager
shall make such special allocations in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such allocations are made, each
Member's Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if
the allocations mandated by the Regulations were not required to be made. The Manager shall have the discretion to adopt and revise
rules, conventions and procedures as it believes appropriate for the admission of Members to reflect Members’ Participation
Percentages in the Company at the close of the years.

 

7.8 Quarterly Valuation of Assets. For
each of the Company’s Note Investments and other investments, the Manager shall review the investments at the end of each
calendar quarter and determine if a Write-down is required with respect thereto. The Manager shall cause the Company’s accountants,
within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar quarter, to verify that the Manager’s determination was made in compliance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Any Write-down of an asset resulting from the valuation shall be effective on the
last day of the respective calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement.

 

7.9 Limitation on Distributions. The
Company shall make no distribution to the Members unless the assets of the Company following such distribution will exceed the
total liabilities of the Company, excluding liabilities to Members based on their contributions.

10.2.3: The transferring Member
shall first obtain written consent of the Manager to the substitution. The Manager shall not unreasonably withhold its consent,
but the Manager will withhold its consent to the extent necessary to prohibit transfers that could cause the Company to be classified
as a publicly traded partnership. The Manager will also withhold consent if it determines that the sale or transfer will otherwise
jeopardize the continued ability of the Company to qualify as a “partnership” for federal income tax purposes or that
the sale or transfer may violate any applicable securities laws (including any investment suitability standards);

expense.

 

Assignments complying with the
above shall be recognized by the Company on the first day of the calendar month following the month in which the above conditions
are met.

 

A Person who acquires a unit
but who is not admitted as a substitute Member by the Manager pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be entitled
only to allocations and distributions with respect to such unit in accordance with this Agreement, but shall have no right to any
information or accounting of the affairs of the Company, shall not be entitled to inspect the books and records of the Company,
and shall not have any of the rights of a member under Delaware Statutes or this Agreement.

be void and of no effect:

 

10.3.1: No Member shall make
any transfer or assignment of all or any part of his unit if said transfer or assignment would, when considered with all other
transfers during the same applicable twelve month period, cause a termination of the Company for federal or Delaware state income

10.3.2: Notice to California
residents: IT IS UNLAWFUL TO CONSUMMATE A SALE OR TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY, OR ANY UNIT THEREIN OR TO RECEIVE ANY CONSIDERATION

any transfer or assignment of all or any of his interest if the Manager determines that the transfer or assignment would result

or Treasury Regulations. To prevent that:

 

    	16

    	 

    

 

(a) The Manager will not permit
trading of units on an established securities market within the meaning of Section 7704(b);

 

(b) The Manager will prohibit any
transfer of unit which would not comply with any applicable safe harbors; and

 

(c) The Manager will not permit any withdrawal of any
unit.

Respect to Transferred Units. If any unit is assigned during any accounting period in compliance with the provisions of this
