Electronic Delivery of Offering Documents

If you would like to access the Note Offering Documents, including receiving your Quarterly Statements, online rather than receive a copy in the mail, you must provide your informed consent to receive electronic delivery by reviewing the following “Consent to Receive Electronic Offering Documents” and check the “I ACCEPT” box that follows:

CONSENT TO RECEIVE ELECTRONIC OFFERING DOCUMENTS

Please carefully review this Consent to Receive Electronic Offering Documents (“Consent”). If you have reviewed the terms herein and consent to receive our Offering Documents electronically, please click the “I ACCEPT” box where prompted below.

Why CURF is asking for your consent? We desire to use e-mail or other electronic communication, including via our website, to communicate with you during our Note Offering, primarily to send you the Offering Documents related to our Note Offering. The “Offering Documents” consist of the Offering Circular describing the Note Offering, the Subscription Agreement allowing you to complete your purchase of the promissory notes, and Quarterly Statements detailing your account with us. If you prefer to receive the Offering Documents electronically, then we will send them to you via email or on our website. We will provide advance notice to you when we do so. In order to provide the Offering Documents electronically, we must first obtain your informed consent to using e-mail for this purpose and providing the Offering Circular on our website. These provisions that follow will provide you the necessary information to evaluate whether you should grant your consent and the means to grant your consent should you elect to do so. You should retain a copy of all electronic documents we provide to you, including this Consent, for your future reference.

Your consent is optional, and you may still participate in the Note Offering and receive paper copies of the Offering Documents if you withhold your consent. If you want to receive the Offering Documents electronically, then check “I ACCEPT” box where prompted on our website. You will be giving us your informed consent and agreeing to receive the Offering Documents by e-mail and agreeing to receive the Offering Circular on our website. You must provide us with an accurate e-mail address and contact information and update CURF promptly of any changes in this information by contacting us at curf@columbiaunion.net or 410.715.0328.

What documents will you receive electronically? You will receive all documents related to the Note Offering by email or on our website, including, the Offering Circular and its related exhibits and other attachments, the Subscription Agreement, and your Quarterly Statements. We may, in our sole discretion, provide you with any document on paper, even if you have authorized e-mail delivery. There may be situations where CURF is required to provide you, and you are required to provide CURF, written notice. Those situations are explained in the Offering Circular. In those situations, notice must continue to be made by regular mail – not by e-mail.

To receive the Offering Documents electronically, you will need an e-mail account, access to a computer with an operating system and internet access capable of sending and receiving e-mails and downloading files delivered through the internet. All electronic documents you receive will be delivered as a portable data format file (.pdf) attached to an e-mail sent to you or posted to our website.
