Laura,
If we already have signatures from the correct people, then those people do not have to resign forms. We just need to
have new forms submitted from anyone who will be signing that has not done so previously.
I have not checked the signature authority for anyone involved. The person reviewing the files will do that. But, here
are the requirements for signatures. The individuals need to be listed on the most recent annual report from the NC
Secretary of State, http://www.secretary.state.nc.us/corporations/. If it is a new corporation, then the NC SOS will only
have the Articles of Incorporation listed. In that case, we will need some sort of other documentation that the person
signing holds the appropriate title (such as tax forms).:
1.) Manager Managed LLC: Signed by a manager
2.) Member Managed LLC: Signed by a member
3.) Inc: Signed by the President or VP
4.) Partnership: Signed by a Partner
5.) Signature Authority Letter: In any of the situations above, the person with signature authority can assign
signature authority to an alternate person by submitting a signed letter to that effect.
Thanks,
Kelly

Hi Kelly,
Thank you for your assistance. We have requested that the correct transferor sign the permit transfer form for Fulton
Station/SW8 130210. Could you please confirm that you will accept the prior signatures from Bell Carolina and National
Retail Properties for this permit? I believe the only signature page that would change is for RSM Foods LLC.

Laura,
SW8 130619 (Taco Bell Hampstead) drains offsite to be treated in a pond operated and permitted under SW8 070620
(Hampstead Town Center). Since this is just an ownership change for SW8 130619, it should not have an impact on SW7
070620 because the site's design is not changing.
I will go ahead and accept all six permit transfer requests so that they can get logged into our system and assigned to a
reviewer. That person will be in touch if they have further questions. In the meantime, if you want to go ahead and
submit the revised transfer form for Fulton Station/SW8 130210 (to show it will transfer from RSM Foods LLC to Bell
Carolina LLC rather than from R&S Matthews Properties LLC to Bell Carolina LLC) that will speed up the process.
Thanks,
Kelly

Ms. Warf,
I am just checking in on this. Did you have a chance to determine if the two corrections below are correct?

Subject: State Stormwater Permitting, Taco Bell Permits
Ms. Warf,
We received six permit transfer requests for Taco Bells in Southern NC. I have a few questions about the two listed
below. We do not have permit numbers in this format. Our permit numbers begin with "SW8" and are followed by six
additional numbers such as SW8 130204, SW8 120708, SW8 130302, and SW8 100917 (which has been modified and so
it is sometimes labeled as SW8 100917MOD). I looked in our database to see if we have other permit numbers that
could be for these facilities. I have inserted the list of Taco Bells permitted through the Wilmington office below.
(Please note that the pump station and sewer permits are listed by default by our computer system, but are not State
Stormwater permits.)
1. Taco Bell Fulton Station, 2013022:
a. Correction to SW8 130210, Taco Bell Fulton Station?
b. If this is the intended permit, please note that there was a transfer in October 2013 transferring
ownership from R&S Matthews Properties, LLC to RSM Foods, LLC. Documentation is attached. But, the
transfer form shows that the permit application is to transfer from R&S Matthews Properties, LLC to Bell
Carolina, I.I.C. If this is the correct permit, we will need to get a revised transfer form from you showing
the corrected current ownership. The $40 transfer fee (check 63003) will be used to process this
request since initial transfers are free, and this is the only permit submitted that will have a second
transfer. (Second and subsequent transfers are $40.)
2. Taco Bell Jacksonville, SW9.111105 001:
a. Correction to SW8 130619, Taco Bell Hampstead?
b. We do not have a permit for Jacksonville. This permit is for a facility at the intersection of Hwy. 17 and
Ravenswood Road. I have attached this permit for your review.

If these permit numbers are typos, I will correct the numbers and initial the changes on the transfer forms. If these are
not the intended permit(s), please let me know and I will return the transfer applications to you.
If you have questions please let me know. The six permits will be assigned to a reviewer for review and inspection once
these questions are resolved. That reviewer will be in touch if they have further questions.

proceeding or a binding arbitration that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as
authorized in this Section 11.

behalf of its Members and such other Persons as the Managing Member shall determine against

against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.
