represents and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof and the date of acceptance of this subscription
by the Company that:

1.1 The Subscriber has received adequate information necessary to evaluate the merits and
risks related to an investment in the Company and the acquisition of the Interests.

1.2 The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber has had the opportunity to ask questions
and receive additional information from the Company and has been provided with all information regarding
the Company and the offering of the Interests requested by the Subscriber. The Subscriber represents to
the Company that the Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters so
as to permit the Subscriber to understand and appreciate the risks and merits of an investment in the
Interests. The Subscriber is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has
acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to
acquire the Interests.

1.3 The Subscriber acknowledges that an investment in the Interests is an illiquid investment
involving significant risk, including the complete loss of the Subscriber’s investment in the Company. The
Subscriber acknowledges that the Interests will be subject to significant restrictions on transferability,
including restrictions arising under the federal and state securities laws. The Subscriber represents and
warrants to the Company that the Subscriber’s acquisition of the Interests is being made for investment
purposes only and that the Subscriber has no plan or intention to effect any distribution, subdivision or other
transfer of the Interests in violation of the federal and state securities laws. The Subscriber represents and
warrants that the Subscriber is acquiring the Interests for investment for the Subscriber’s own account and
not as a nominee or agent for any other person and with no present intention of distributing or reselling
such Interests or any part thereof in any transactions that would be in violation of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities or “blue-sky” laws.
1.4 The Subscriber acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Interests is being made by the
Company in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and various state securities
laws and thus the Interests may not be sold, transferred or assigned without compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws and the prior consent of the Company and the securities may be required
to be held indefinitely.

1.5 The Subscriber understands (1) that the Interests have not been registered for sale under
the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue-sky” laws in reliance upon exemptions therefrom, which
exemptions depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent of the Subscriber
as expressed herein, (2) that such Interests must be held and not sold until such Interests are registered under
the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or “blue-sky” laws, unless an exemption from such
registration is available, (3) that the Company is under no obligation to so register such Interests and (4)
that if any certificate evidencing such Interests is ever issued, the certificate will be imprinted with a legend
in the form set forth in Section 3.1 of this Subscription Agreement regarding restrictions on the resale of
such Interests under the Securities Act.

1.6 If the Subscriber is an entity, the Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that
the Subscriber is duly organized, formed or incorporated, as the case may be, and is validly existing and in

and that the Subscriber has all the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the
Subscriber’s obligations under this Subscription Agreement and the Operating Agreement, and to subscribe
for and purchase Interests hereunder. If the Subscriber is an individual, the Subscriber represents and
warrants to the Company that the Subscriber is of legal age in the Subscriber’s state of residence and has
legal capacity to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement and the
Operating Agreement. The Subscriber’s purchase of Interests and the Subscriber’s execution, delivery and
performance of this Subscription Agreement and the Operating Agreement have been authorized by all
necessary corporate or other action on the Subscriber’s behalf, and this Subscription Agreement and the
Operating Agreement are the Subscriber’s legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable against the
Subscriber in accordance with their respective terms.

1.7 The Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that the execution and delivery of
this Subscription Agreement and the Operating Agreement, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, and the performance of the Subscriber’s obligations hereunder and
thereunder do not and will not conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under, any provision of
any charter, by-laws, trust agreement, operating agreement or other governing instrument applicable to the
Subscriber, or any agreement or other instrument to which the Subscriber is a party or by which the
Subscriber or any of the Subscriber’s properties are bound, or any permit, franchise, judgment, decree,
statute, order, rule or regulation applicable to the Subscriber or to the Subscriber’s business or properties.

1.8 If the Subscriber is an entity, the Subscriber has a principal office at the address set forth
on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement under the Subscriber’s name, or, if the Subscriber is
a natural person, the Subscriber resides at the address set forth on the signature page to this Subscription
Agreement under the Subscriber’s name.

1.9 If the Subscriber will beneficially own 10% or more of the outstanding Interests or any
class of outstanding Interests in the Company following the Company’s acceptance of this Subscription
Agreement, the Subscriber is not an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and the Subscriber itself is not relying on Section 3(c)
(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act as an exemption from classification as an investment
company.

1.10 The Subscriber is not aware of any circumstances that would require the Company to treat
the Subscriber as more than “one person” for purposes of Section 3(c)(1) of the Investment Company Act.

1.11 The Subscriber (check one): ____ is a “benefit plan investor”/____ is not a “benefit plan
investor” (as that term is used under the federal regulations codified at 29 CFR §2510.3-101, et seq., as the
same may be modified, amended and restated from time to time, which describe the circumstances under
which an entity in which an ERISA-covered plan invests will be deemed to hold Plan Assets for purposes
of Subtitle A and Parts 1 and 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Code Section 4975) subject to ERISA.

U.S. Person, or, if the Subscriber is a Non-U.S. Person, then the Subscriber shall have so notified the

States, (iii) a government other than the government of the United States or of any state, territory or
possession of the United States, or (iv) a representative of, or entity controlled by, any person or entity
referred to in any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii). Upon request of the Company, the Subscriber
shall provide to the Company a certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, certifying

regulations, the Company, and/or any other manager, officer, employee or agent acting on behalf of the
Company may require further documentation verifying the Subscriber’s identity and the source of funds

or accepted. To comply with applicable U.S. legislation and regulations, including but not limited to the
International Anti-Money Laundering and Financial Anti-Terrorism Abatement Act of 2001 (Title III of
the USA PATRIOT Act), the Subscriber agrees that all payments by the Subscriber to the Company and all

et seq.), as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Department of the Treasury,

Company at any time during the term of the Company with such information or certification as the
Company determines to be necessary or appropriate to verify compliance with the anti-terrorism and anti-
money laundering regulations of any applicable jurisdiction or to respond to requests for information
concerning the identity of the Subscriber or that of any person directly or indirectly controlling or owning
an interest in the Subscriber from any governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or financial
institution in connection with the Company’s compliance procedures with respect to anti-terrorism and anti-
money laundering regulations and to update such information as necessary. Such information may include,
but not be limited to, the name, address, telephone number, date of birth, and Social Security or taxpayer
identification number of any such individual person, or of the beneficial owners of any entity, if the
Subscriber is an entity. Identity may be verified using a current valid passport or other such current valid
government-issued identification (e.g., a driver's license). In addition, the Subscriber certifies that neither
the Subscriber nor any person directly or indirectly controlling or owning any interest in the Subscriber is

identified as a specially designated national or blocked person, or as affiliated with any such person, entity
or organization on any list maintained by governmental authorities relating to anti-terrorism or anti-money
laundering, including but not limited to lists maintained by the United States Treasury Department's Office
