including to clearly state whether the provisions apply to claims under the U.S. federal
securities laws.
Additionally, please revise your offering circular to add an appropriately captioned risk
factor highlighting the risks of these provisions to purchasers, including increased costs
to bring a claim, limited access to information, and that the provisions can discourage
claims or limit purchasers’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find
favorable. Also discuss any uncertainty about the enforceability of the provisions.
3.We refer to Section 19.11 of the operating agreement of Brookwood Fenton Investments
LLC filed as Exhibit 3, which identifies the United States District Court for Genesee
County, Michigan as the exclusive forum for any suit, legal action or proceeding relating
to or arising under the operating agreement. Please revise Section 19.11 to clearly state
whether the choice of venue provision applies to claims under the U.S. federal securities
laws. In this regard, we note that Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent
jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or
liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
Additionally, please revise the Securities Being Offered section of your offering circular
to briefly describe the choice of venue provision, including to clearly state whether the
provision applies to claims under the U.S. federal securities laws. Further, if the provision
applies to Securities Act claims, please state that there is uncertainty as to whether a court
would enforce such provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal
securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Finally, please revise your offering circular to add an appropriately captioned risk factor
highlighting the risks of this provision to purchasers, including increased costs to bring a
claim and that the provision can discourage claims or limit purchasers’ ability to bring a
claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable. Also discuss any uncertainty about the
enforceability of the provision.

Instruction 1 to Signatures of Form 1-A.

and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff. We also remind you that, following qualification of your Form 1-A, Rule 257
of Regulation A requires you to file periodic and current reports, including a Form 1-K which
