EXHIBIT 10.3

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Cali Vibes D8 LLC

A Limited Liability Company

TIDS OPERATING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) of Cali Vibes D8 LLC, (the “Company”), is executed and agreed to, for good and valuable consideration, by the undersigned full members and the undersigned assignee member (“Assignee”) collectively referred to throughout this agreement as (“Members”).

I. Formation.

A. State of Formation. This is a Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “Agreement”) for Cali Vibes D8 LLC, a Member-managed Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) formed under and pursuant to Delaware law.

B. Operating Agreement Controls. To the extent that the rights or obligations of the Members or the Company under provisions of this Operating Agreement differ from what they would be under Delaware law absent such a provision, this Agreement, to the extent permitted under Delaware law, shall control.

C. Primary Business Address. The location of the primary place of business of the Company is:

9925 Airway Road, San Diego, California 92154, or such other location as shall be selected from time to time by the Members.

D. Registered Agent and Office. The Company’s initial agent (the “Agent”) for service of process is Corporation Service Company. The Agent’s registered office is 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, Delaware 19808. The Company may change its registered office, its registered agent, or both, upon filing a statement with the Delaware Secretary of State.

E. No State Law Partnership. No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to constitute a partnership (including, without limitation, a limited partnership) or joint venture, or any Member a partner or joint venturer of or with any other Member, for any purposes other than federal and state tax purposes.

II. Purposes and Powers.

A. Purpose. The Company is created for the following business purpose:

To Market and sell Delta 8 THC products: Delta 8 THC is a hemp-derived cannabinoid. Under the federal 2018 Farm Bill, all hemp-derived cannabinoids are no longer considered a controlled substance and can be legally produced and sold.

The fact that Delta-8 is typically manufactured from hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) and not extracted directly from the hemp plant, has led to some confusion as to the Federal legality of Delta-8.

Thus, Members of the Company acknowledge that the Federal legality of Delta-8 is clouded by the late 2020 “Interim Final Rule” issued by the Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”) which stated that all synthetically derived tetrahydrocannabinols (“THC”) remain Schedule 1 controlled substances.

Should Delta-8 remain an illegal substance under DEA rules, then the Company’s business plan, its forecasted revenues, its inventories of finished product and raw materials, and its capital expenditures could all be adversely affected.

The legal situation in the States adds another level of confusion. The Company undertakes to obtain all necessary licenses and permits on a State-by-State basis, to legally sell and distribute its products.

B. Powers. The Company shall have all of the powers of a limited liability company set forth under Delaware law.

C. Duration. The Company’s term shall commence on April 19, 2021 the filing date of the Articles of Organization and all other such necessary materials with the state of Delaware. The Company will operate until terminated as outlined in this Agreement unless:

1. The Members vote unanimously to dissolve the Company;

2. No Member of the Company exists, unless the business of the Company is continued in a manner permitted by Delaware law;

3. It becomes unlawful for either the Members or the Company to continue in business;

4. A judicial decree is entered that dissolves the Company; or

5. Any other event results in the dissolution of the Company under federal or Delaware law.

III. Members

Membership Classes. The Members of the Company (jointly the “Members”) shall br represented by two classes, as defined below:

		(a)	Class 1 - “Full Members” with full ownership and voting rights as specified below.

		(b)	Class 2- “Assignee Members” with rights to a profit/loss-sharing interest only until such time as they may be admitted to Membership by a unanimous vote of the Members.

Members & Membership Interests

(a) Full Members	Contribution Ratio	Sharing Ratio		Voting Rights
Hempacco Co., Inc. (“Hempacco”)	50%		25%		50%
VZ Ventures, 50% (‘‘VZ”)	50%		50%		50%

(b) Assignee Members
BX2SD Hospitality, LLC	0%		25%		0%

C. Initial Contribution. Each Full Member shall make an Initial Contribution to the Company. The Initial Contributions of each shall be as described in Attachment A, Initial Contributions of the Members.

No Member shall be entitled to interest on their Initial Contribution. Except as expressly provided by this Agreement, or as required by law, no Member shall have any right to demand or receive the return of their Initial Contribution. Any modifications as to the signatories’ respective rights as to the receipt of their initial contributions must be set forth in writing signed by all interested parties.

C. Limited Liability of the Members. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement or otherwise required by Delaware law, no Member shall be personally liable for any acts, debts, liabilities or obligations of the Company beyond their respective Initial Contribution, including liability arising under a judgment, decree or order of a court. The Members shall look solely to the Company property for the return of their Initial Contribution, or value thereof, and if the Company property remaining after payment or discharge of the debts, liabilities or obligations of the Company is insufficient to return such Initial Contributions, or value thereof, no Member shall have any recourse against any other Member except as is expressly provided for by this Agreement or as otherwise allowed by law.

D. Death, Incompetency, Resignation or Termination of a Member. Should a Member die, be declared incompetent, or withdraw from the Company voluntarily or involuntarily, the remaining Members will have the option to buy out that Member’s Membership Interest in the Company. If a Member is removed involuntarily, it must be by vote recorded in the official minutes. If a Member resigns, they should submit a notarized resignation letter to the Registered Agent. Should the Members agree to buy out the Membership Interest of the withdrawing Member, that Interest shall be paid for proportionately by the remaining Members, according to their existing Membership Interest and distributed proportionately among the remaining Members. The Members agree to hire an outside firm to assess the value of the Membership Interest.

The Members will have 30 days to decide if they want to buy the Membership Interest together and disperse it proportionately. If all Members do not agree to buy the Membership Interest, individual Members will then have the right to buy the Membership Interest individually. If more than one Member requests to buy the remaining Membership Interest, the Membership Interest will be paid for and split proportionately among those Members wishing to purchase the Membership Interest. If all Members agree by unanimous vote, the Company may choose to allow a non-Member to buy the Membership Interest thereby replacing the previous Member.

If no individual Member(s) finalize a purchase agreement by 30 days, the withdrawing Member, or their estate, may dispose of their Membership Interest however they see fit, subject to the limitations in Section III (E) below. If a Member is a corporation, trust, partnership, limited liability company or other entity and is dissolved or terminated, the powers of that Member may be exercised by its legal representative or successor.

The name of the Company may be amended upon the written and unanimous vote of all Members if a Member withdraws, dies, is found incompetent or is terminated.

E. Creation or Substitution of New Members. Any Member may assign in whole or in part its Membership Interest only after granting their fellow Members the right of first refusal, as established in Section III (D) above.

New Members. The Company will amend this agreement to include new Members upon the written and unanimous vote of all Members. The name of the Company may be amended if a new Member is added to the Company upon the written and unanimous vote of all Members.

	2.	Entire transfer. If a Member transfers all of its Membership Interest, the transferee shall be admitted to the Company as a substitute Member upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such admission shall be deemed effective immediately upon the transfer, and, simultaneously, the transferor Member shall cease to be a Member of the Company and shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement.

	3.	Partial transfer. If a Member transfers only a portion of its Membership Interest, the transferee shall be admitted to the Company as an additional Member upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

	4.	Whether a substitute Member or an additional Member, absent the written consent of all existing Members of the Company, the transferee shall be a limited Member and possess only the percentage of the monetary rights of the transferor Member that was transferred without any voting power as a Member in the Company.

F. Member Voting.

1. Voting power. The Company’s Full Members shall each have voting power equal to their share of Membership Interest in the Company.

2. Proxies. At all meetings of Members, a Member may vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by the Member or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

2. Duties Only to the Company. The Member’s fiduciary duties of loyalty and care are to the Company and not to the other Members. The Members shall owe fiduciary duties of disclosure, good faith and fair dealing to the Company and to the other Members. A Member who so performs their duties shall not have any liability by reason of being or having been a Member.

3. Reliance on Reports. In discharging the Member’s duties, a Member is entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, if prepared or presented by any of the following:

i. One or more Members, Officers, or employees of the Company whom the Member reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented.

No Member shall have any interest in any specific assets of the Company.

K. Compensation of Members. The Members shall have the authority to fix the compensation of individual Members. All Members may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at meetings of the Members, which may be a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Members or a stated salary as a Member. No such payment shall preclude any Member from serving the Company in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

L. Additional Compensation. At a later date, both Members will agree to certain milestones to reach which, when reached, trigger additional compensation to VZ in the form of equity in Hempacco Co., Inc. or, if applicable in the Parent Company of Hempacco.

L. Members as Agents. All Members are agents of the Company for the purpose of its business. An act of any Member, including the signing of an instrument in the Company’s name, binds the Company where the Member executed the act for apparently carrying on the Company’s business or business of the kind carried on by the Company in the ordinary course, unless the Member had no authority to act for the Company in the particular matter and the person with whom the Member was dealing knew or had notice that the Member lacked authority. An act of a Member binds the Company, however, even where the Member executed the act not apparently for carrying on the Company’s business or business of the kind carried on by the Company in the ordinary course only if the act was authorized by the other Members.

IV. Accounting and Distributions.

A. Fiscal Year. The Company’s fiscal year shall end on the last day of December.

B. Records. All financial records including tax returns and financial statements will be maintained and held by Hempacco Co., Inc. at the Company’s primary business address and will be accessible to all Members upon 24 hours written notice.

In accordance with GAAP and IRS S.448 accounting records will be kept on an accrual basis.

C. Distributions. Distributions shall be issued, as directed by the Company’s Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer, on a monthly basis, based upon the Company’s fiscal year. The distribution shall not exceed the remaining net cash of the Company after making appropriate provisions for the Company’s ongoing and anticipatable liabilities and expenses.

D. Tax Distributions. As soon as possible after the issuance of Forms Kl to Members, and assuming that these documents include an allocation of profits that may potentially require a payment of taxes on said profit by the Member, a distribution will be made, prior to any distribution as specified in “B” above, based upon the amount of the profit allocation multiplied by an arbitrary income tax rate to be decided by the Managing Members at the time of said distributions.

E. Each Member shall receive a percentage of the overall distribution that matches that Member’s percentage of Membership Interest in the Company, as defined by the balance of the members’ capital accounts and in accordance with the “sharing ratio” as specified in Section 111B above.

V. Tax Treatment Election.

The Company has not filed with the Internal Revenue Service for treatment as a corporation. Instead, the Company will be taxed as a pass-through organization.

The Officers and agents of the Company shall hold office until their successors are chosen and qualified. Any Officer elected or appointed by the Members may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Members. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company shall be filled by the Members. Unless the Members decide otherwise, if the title of an Officer is one commonly used for officers of a limited liability company formed under Delaware law, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such person of the authorities and duties that are normally associated with that office.

1. Chairman. The Chairman shall be the chief executive officer of the Company, shall preside at all meetings of the Members, shall be responsible for the general and active management of the business of the Company and shall see that all orders and resolutions of the Members are carried into effect.

The Secretary shall cause to be prepared such reports and/or information as the Company is required to prepare by applicable law, other than financial reports. The Assistant Secretary, or if there be more than one, the Assistant Secretaries in the order determined by the Members (or if there be no such determination, then in order of their election), shall, in the absence of the Secretary or in the event of the Secretary’s inability to act, perform the duties and exercise the powers of the Secretary and shall perform such other duties and have such other powers as the Members may from time to time prescribe.

5. Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer. The Treasurer shall have the custody of the Company funds and securities and shall keep full and accurate accounts of receipts and disbursements in books belonging to the Company according to generally accepted accounting practices, using a fiscal year ending on the last day of the month of December.

Each of said annual statements shall be prepared on an income tax basis and delivered to the Members forthwith upon its preparation. In addition, the Treasurer shall keep all financial records required to be kept pursuant to Delaware law. The Assistant Treasurer, or if there shall be more than one, the Assistant Treasurers in the order determined by the Members (or if there be no such determination, then in the order of their election), shall, in the absence of the Treasurer or in the event of the Treasurer’s inability to act, perform the duties and exercise the powers of the Treasurer and shall perform such other duties and have such other powers as the Members may from time to time prescribe.

B. Officers as Agents. The Officers, to the extent of their powers set forth in this Agreement or otherwise vested in them by action of the Members not inconsistent with this Agreement, are agents of the Company for the purpose of the Company’s business, and the actions of the Officers taken in accordance with such powers shall bind the Company.

C. Fiduciary Duties of the Officers.

	iii.	A committee of Members of which the affected Officer is not a participant, if the Officer reasonably believes the committee merits confidence.

VII. Dissolution.

A. Limits on Dissolution. The Company shall have a perpetual existence, and shall be dissolved, and its affairs shall be wound up only upon the provisions established in Section II (C) above.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of any Member shall not cause such Member to cease to be a Member of the Company and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of the Company shall continue without dissolution.

Each Member waives any right that it may have to agree in writing to dissolve the Company upon the Bankruptcy of any Member or the occurrence of any event that causes any Member to cease to be a Member of the Company.

B. Winding Up. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section Il(C), the Company shall continue solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors. One or more Members, selected by the remaining Members, shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and liquidation of the Company, shall take full account of the liabilities of the Company and its assets, shall either cause its assets to be distributed as provided under this Agreement or sold, and if sold as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair market value thereof, shall cause the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed as provided under this Agreement.

C. Distributions in Kind. Any non-cash asset distributed to one or more Members in liquidation of the Company shall first be valued at its fair market value (net of any liability secured by such asset that such Member assumes or takes subject to) to determine the profits or losses that would have resulted if such asset were sold for such value, such profit or loss shall then be allocated as provided under this Agreement. The fair market value of such asset shall be determined by the Members or, if any Member objects, by an independent appraiser (any such appraiser must be recognized as an expert in valuing the type of asset involved) approved by the Members.

D. Termination. The Company shall terminate when (i) all of the assets of the Company, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company, shall have been distributed to the Members in the manner provided for under this Agreement and (ii) the Company’s registration with the state of Delaware shall have been canceled in the manner required by Delaware law.

E. Accounting. Within a reasonable time after complete liquidation, the Company Treasurer shall furnish the Members with a statement which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as at the date of dissolution and the proceeds and expenses of the disposition thereof.

F. Limitations on Payments Made in Dissolution. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each Member shall only be entitled to look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Initial Contribution and shall have no recourse for its Initial Contribution and/or share of profits (upon dissolution or otherwise) against any other Member.

G. Notice to Delaware Authorities. Upon the winding up of the Company, the Member with the highest percentage of Membership Interest in the Company shall be responsible for the filing of all appropriate notices of dissolution with Delaware and any other appropriate state or federal authorities or agencies as may be required by law. In the event that two or more Members have equally high percentages of Membership Interest in the Company, the Member with the longest continuous tenure as a Member of the Company shall be responsible for the filing of such notices.

VIII. Exculpation and Indemnification.

A. No Member, Officer, employee or agent of the Company and no employee, agent or affiliate of a Member (collectively, the “Covered Persons11 shall be liable to the Company or any other person who has an interest in or claim against the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

B. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement.

Any indemnity under this Agreement shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only.

C. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Members might properly be paid.

D. To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to any other Covered Person, a Covered

Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of the Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

E. The foregoing provisions of this Article VIII shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

IX. Insurance.

The Company shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance, including insurance on behalf of any Covered Person against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such Covered Person in any such capacity, or arising out of such Covered Person’s status as an agent of the Company, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of Article VIII or under applicable law. This is separate and apart from any business insurance that may be required as part of the business in which the Company is engaged.
