Invest in Veridian at County Farm

Investors should consider potential state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Class B Units and they are urged to consult their own tax advisor to determine the state and local income tax consequences of investing in the Class B Units. The Offering Materials make no attempt to summarize the state and local tax consequences to potential investors.

Investors in the Class B Units are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the federal, state, local and foreign income tax consequences of acquiring, owning, and disposing of, the Class B Units as well as the application of state, local and foreign income and other tax laws. Any federal tax discussion contained in these Offering Materials, including any attachments, was written in connection with the Offering of the Class B Units by the Company, and is not intended or written to be used, by anyone for the purpose of avoiding federal tax penalties that may be imposed by the federal government. Nothing in these Offering Materials shall be deemed tax or legal advice by the Company or its members.

The tax-related information herein summarizes certain material U.S. federal income tax aspects of the purchase and ownership of the Class B Units. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the regulations thereunder, published administrative rulings, and judicial decisions in effect on the date of the Offering Materials. No assurance can be given that future legislative or administrative changes or court decisions will not significantly modify the statements expressed in these Offering Materials. Any such changes may or may not be retroactive with respect to transactions completed prior to the effective dates of such changes.

The tax-related information herein is a general discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences of investing in Class B Units by individuals and does not purport to deal with all federal income tax consequences applicable thereto or the federal income tax consequences applicable to all categories of Investors, some of which may be subject to special rules (e.g., Investors who do not reside in or citizens of the U.S.). This discussion is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning. Any federal tax discussion contained in these Offering Materials, including any attachments, was written in connection with the offering of Class B Units by the Company, and is not intended or written to be used, by anyone for the purpose of avoiding federal tax penalties that may be imposed by the federal government. Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors, lawyers, or accountants with specific reference to their own tax situations.

The Company will be classified as a partnership for federal tax purposes. The Company itself will not be subject to federal income tax, although it is possible that the Company would be subject to income tax in one or more state or local tax jurisdictions. Instead, each Member will be required to report on such Member's own income tax return the Member's share of the Company's income, gains, losses, deductions, tax credits, and tax preferences.

In determining the federal income tax liability of a Member as a consequence of the Member's investment in the Company, the following principles will apply in the order summarized below:

(a) The allocation provisions contained in the Operating Agreement will determine each Member's share of the items of profits and losses of the Company for tax purposes to the extent that such allocations have substantial economic effect or are otherwise in accordance with the Member's Interest in the Company;

(b) Each Member's tax basis in the Member's Class B Units must equal or exceed the amount of losses allocated to the Member, net of profits so allocated, and cash distributed to such Member; and

(c) Each Member's amount "at risk" in the Member's Class B Units must equal or exceed the amount of losses allocated to the Member, net of profits so allocated, and cash distributed to the Member.

In addition to and after satisfying the foregoing principles, the ability of a specific Member to take advantage of any losses or deductions allocated to the Member with respect to such Member's Class B Units may be limited by the passive loss and passive credit limitations described in the "Limitations on Losses from Passive Activities" section.

Cash or other property received by a Member from the Company generally will not cause recognition of income for tax purposes by the Member but will reduce such Member's basis and amount "at-risk" in the Member's Class B Units by the cash or the Company's basis in other property received by the Member. A distribution of cash and generally marketable securities in excess of a Member's adjusted basis in the Member's Class B Units prior to the distribution will result in the recognition of taxable income to the extent of the excess. Any such taxable income generally will be treated as capital gain.

Each Member will be allocated a share of profits and/or losses for tax purposes. It is possible that the Company will not be able to distribute sufficient funds to the Members to enable them to meet their tax obligations attributable to profits for tax purposes.

A Member's tax basis for the Member's Class B Units generally will be equal to the Member's Capital Contribution plus the Member's share of the Company's liabilities. From time to time, such tax basis will be (a) increased by the amount of profits for tax purposes allocated to the Member, and (b) decreased by distributions and the amount of losses for tax purposes allocated to the Member, and (c) increased or decreased by changes in liabilities.

Each Member may deduct, on the Member's own federal income tax return, the Member's share of the Company's losses for tax purposes, if any, to the extent that the Member has tax basis in the Member's Class B Units, subject to other limitations discussed in this section. Any tax losses in excess of a Member's tax basis may be carried over indefinitely and may be deducted in future years to the extent otherwise allowable and to the extent that the Member's basis has increased above zero. See "Tax Treatment of Holders of Class B Units ," "Application of At-Risk Limitations" and "Limitations on Losses from Passive Activities" for other limitations on the amount of losses that may be claimed by an investor in the Preferred Membership Interests.

Code Section 465 provides that the amount of any losses (otherwise allowable for the year in question) that may be deducted by an individual or a "closely held corporation" (i.e., generally a C corporation in which five or fewer shareholders directly or indirectly own more than 50% of the stock) other than a leasing company, in connection with activities that are part of a trade or business or that are engaged in for the production of income, cannot exceed the aggregate amount with respect to which such taxpayer is "at risk" in such activity at the close of the tax year. In the case of a partnership engaged in such activities, the limitations apply to each partner who is an individual, trust, estate or "closely held corporation."

A Member generally will be considered "at risk" to the extent of the cash and adjusted basis of other property contributed to the Company, as well as any liabilities with respect to which such Member is personally liable for payment from the Member's assets.

If at the end of a taxable year a Member's amount "at risk" has been reduced below zero, the deficit amount "at risk" is recaptured and must be included in gross income in that year. The amount recaptured is treated in future years as if it were a deduction suspended by the "at risk" provisions. To the extent that a Member's amount "at risk" is increased above zero in a subsequent year, this additional deduction may be allowable at such time.

The following is a general discussion of certain limitations on losses from passive activities, applicable to individual and other non-corporate investors. However, the manner in which the limitations on losses from passive activities will apply to any particular Member may differ because they are applied at the Member (rather than the Company) level and will depend on the particular circumstances of each Member. Each potential investor is strongly advised to consult its own tax advisor regarding the effect of the limitation on the allowance of passive losses on its specific situation.

Code Section 469 imposes limits on the ability of taxpayers to use losses and tax credits from certain "passive activities" to offset taxable income and tax liability arising from non-passive sources. A passive activity generally includes (a) one which involves the conduct of a trade or business in which the taxpayer does not materially participate, or (b) any rental activity. A Member generally will be treated as materially participating in the Company's activities if the Member is involved in the operations of the Company on a regular, continuous and substantial basis. Code Section 469 and the regulations thereunder contain specific provisions that further clarify the definition "material participation." To the extent a Member is considered a limited partner for tax purposes, Code Section 469 provides that such Member generally will be deemed not to materially participate in the Company's activities, subject to certain exceptions. Because the determination of whether a Member will be treated as a limited partner and application of the other material participation standards for tax purposes will depend upon the unique circumstances of each Member, each Member must consult its own tax advisor regarding whether the Member will be treated as materially participating in the activities of the Company.

To the extent that a Member's aggregate losses from all passive activities exceed the Member's aggregate income from all such activities in a given taxable year, the Member has a "passive activity loss" for such year. Such a loss may be carried forward to successive taxable years until fully utilized against income from passive activities in such years; however, such losses may not be carried back to prior years.

When a Member disposes of the Member's entire interest in a passive activity in a transaction in which all of the gain or loss realized on such disposition is recognized, any loss from that activity that was disallowed by these passive loss rules will cease to be treated as a passive loss and any loss on such disposition will not be treated as arising from a passive activity.

A Member may not be able to sell the Member's Class B Units because it is not anticipated that a public trading market in the Class B Units will develop. Any gain realized with respect to a sale of Class B Units by a Member who holds such Class B Units as a capital asset generally will be capital gain, except to the extent the gain is allocable to "unrealized receivables" or "inventory items" as such terms are defined in Code Section 751. See, however, "Limitations on Losses from Passive Activities" regarding the allowance of previously suspended passive activity losses and passive activity credits upon the disposition of all of a Member's Class B Units.

Generally, upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company, a Member will recognize income only to the extent that the sum of the cash and marketable securities (subject to certain exceptions set forth in Code Section 731) distributed to the Member and the Member's proportionate share of any then existing liabilities of the Company which are deemed relieved, including nonrecourse liabilities, exceeds the Member's adjusted basis in the Member's Class B Units at the time of distribution.

The Code permits an entity taxed as a partnership to elect to adjust the basis of the entity's property on the transfer of an interest in such entity by sale or exchange or on the death of a person who holds an interest in such entity and on the distribution of property by the entity to a person (referred to as a "Section 754 election"). The general effect of such an election by the Company is that transferees of Class B Units are treated, for purposes of depreciation and taxable gain, as though they had acquired a direct interest in the Company's assets. The Company intends to make a Section 754 election where such election is, in the Managers’ opinion, beneficial to the Members.

The Company also may make various elections for federal income tax reporting purposes that could result in various items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit being treated differently for tax purposes than for accounting purposes.

The Code requires that the tax treatment of the Company items be determined at the Company level, rather than in separate proceedings with the Members. Thus, the availability and amount of tax deductions taken by the Company will depend not only on the general legal principles discussed herein, but also upon various determinations of the Manager. Such determinations are subject to challenge by the IRS on factual or other grounds.

Under the procedures described above, each Member is required to treat Company items on the Member's return consistently with the treatment on the Company's return. Where such treatment is inconsistent, a statement must be filed by the Member identifying the inconsistency. If the consistency requirement is not satisfied, the IRS may assess a deficiency against the Member before audit proceedings are completed at the Company level.

Under the Code, a Member of the Company is to be designated as the "tax matters partner," and in the absence of such designation, the Member with the largest profits interest in the Company at the end of the year involved will be the "tax matters partner" (the "TMM"). The TMM is responsible for protecting the interests of the Company in the audit process. For example, the TMM is given the right, on behalf of the Company, to determine whether to challenge a final partnership administrative adjustment proposed by the IRS by initiating an action in the Tax Court, a federal district court, or the Claims Court. If the TMM determines not to challenge such administrative adjustment, a notice member or a notice group (as defined in the Code) may challenge it.

The TMM will have the authority and the responsibilities delegated and imposed under the Code. The Code gives the TMM the discretion to file suit in the Tax Court, a federal district court, or the Claims Court. Thus it is possible, although unlikely, that Members might be obligated to pay their shares of a tax deficiency prior to final judicial review in order for the Company to gain access to a forum believed to be more favorable to its position.

The procedures regarding the audit of limited liability companies are complex and cannot be described completely herein. Each Member is urged to seek the advice of his individual tax advisor with respect to those audit provisions.

Generally, ordinary income received by an Investor who is a nonresident alien individual and who is not engaged in the conduct of a United States trade or business will be subject to the 30% federal withholding tax, unless such tax is reduced or eliminated pursuant to a treaty between the United States and the country where the Investor has his or her tax home. Gain realized on the sale, exchange, or redemption of Class B Units by a nonresident alien individual generally will not be subject to tax by the United States. If a nonresident alien individual is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the year, or if such an Investor is engaged in the conduct of a United States trade or business, then the Investor should consult his or her own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of holding the Class B Units.

Certain U.S. Investors that are individuals, estates or trusts will be subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which may include all or a portion of their income and net gains from the disposition of the Class B Units. If you are a U.S. Investor that is an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the net investment income tax to your income.
