3. Investor Eligibility Certifications

 

I understand that to purchase Shares, I must either be an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the act, or I must limit my investment in the Shares to a maximum of: (i) 10% of my net worth or annual income, whichever is greater, if I am a natural person; or (ii) 10% of my revenues or net assets, whichever is greater, for my most recently completed fiscal year, if I am a non-natural person.  

 

I understand that if I am a natural person I should determine my net worth for purposes of these representations by calculating the difference between my total assets and total liabilities.  I understand this calculation must exclude the value of my primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by my primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence).  In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Shares.

 

I hereby represent and warrant that I meet the qualifications to purchase Shares because (please mark one):

 

___        I am a natural person, and the aggregate purchase price for the Shares I am purchasing in the Offering does not exceed 10% of my net worth or annual income, whichever is greater.

 

___        I am a non-natural person, and the aggregate purchase price for the Shares I am purchasing in the Offering does not exceed 10% of my revenues or net assets, whichever is greater, for my most recently completed fiscal year.

 

___        I am an accredited investor.

 

If you marked that you are an accredited investor, please mark as appropriate below.

 

If a natural person, I hereby represent and warrant that (mark as appropriate):

 

___            (a) That I have an individual net worth, or joint net worth with my spouse, of more than $1,000,000; or

 

___            (b) That I have individual income in excess of $200,000 or joint income with my spouse in excess of $300,000, in each of the two most recent years and I have a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year.

 

If other than a natural person, I represent and warrant that I am: (mark as appropriate):

 

___            (a) a corporation, Massachusetts or similar business trust, partnership, or organization described in Code Section 501(c)(3), not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares, with total assets over $5,000,000;

 

   

 

 

___            (b) a trust, with total assets over $5,000,000, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares and whose purchase is directed by a person who has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he or she is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares as described in Rule 506(b)(2)(ii) under the Act;.

 

___            (c) a broker-dealer registered under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;

 

___            (d) an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) or a business development company (as defined in Section 2(a)(48) of the Investment Company Act);

 

___            (e) a small business investment company licensed by the Small Business Administration under Section 301(c) or (d) or the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended

 

___            (f) an employee benefit plan within the meaning of ERISA, if the investment decision is made by a plan fiduciary (as defined in Section 3(21) of ERISA), which is either a bank, savings and loan association, insurance company, or registered investment advisor, or if such employee benefit plan has total assets over $5,000,000 or, if a self-directed plan, with investment decisions made solely by persons who are accredited investors;

 

___            (g) a private business development company (as defined in Section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended);

 

___            (h) a bank as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act, any savings and loan association or other institution as defined in Section 3(a)(5)(A) of the Securities Act whether acting in its individual or fiduciary capacity, or any insurance company as defined in Section 2(13) of the Securities Act;

 

___            (i) a plan established and maintained by a state, its political subdivisions, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or its political subdivisions, for the benefit of its employees, if such plan has total assets of more than $5,000,000; or

 

___            (j) an entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors.

In addition, I have complied with all applicable U.S. laws, regulations, directives, and executive orders relating to anti-money laundering including but not limited to the following laws: (1) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56; and (2) Executive Order 13224 (Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism) of September 23, 2001.

 

   

 

 

By making the foregoing representations you have not waived any right of action you may have under federal or state securities law. Any such waiver would be unenforceable. The REIT will assert your representations as a defense in any subsequent litigation where such assertion would be relevant. This subscription agreement and all rights hereunder shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws.

 

9. Digital (“electronic”) signatures, often referred to as an “e-signature”, enable paperless contracts and help speed up business transactions. The 2001 E-Sign Act was meant to ease the adoption of electronic signatures. This Subscription Agreement will be available to you and the REIT, as well as any associated brokers, so they can store and access it at any time, and it will be stored and accessible on the Clearing Agent web site or from the Escrow Agent, as appropriate. You and the REIT each hereby consents and agrees that electronically signing this Agreement constitutes your signature, acceptance and agreement as if actually signed by you in writing. Further, all parties agree that no certification authority or other third party verification is necessary to validate any electronic signature; and that the lack of such certification or third party verification will not in any way affect the enforceability of your signature or resulting contract between you and the REIT.

 

You understand and agree that your e-signature executed in conjunction with the electronic submission of this Subscription Agreement shall be legally binding and such transaction shall be considered authorized by you. You agree your electronic signature is the legal equivalent of your manual signature on this Subscription Agreement you consent to be legally bound by this Subscription Agreement's terms and conditions. Furthermore, you and the REIT each hereby agrees that all current and future notices, confirmations and other communications regarding this Subscription Agreement specifically, and future communications in general between the parties, may be made by email, sent to the email address of record as set forth in this Subscription Agreement or as otherwise from time to time changed or updated and disclosed to the other party, without necessity of confirmation of receipt, delivery or reading, and such form of electronic communication is sufficient for all matters regarding the relationship between the parties.

 

If any such electronically sent communication fails to be received for any reason, including but not limited to such communications being diverted to the recipients spam filters by the recipients email service provider, or due to a recipient’s change of address, or due to technology issues by the recipients service provider, the parties agree that the burden of such failure to receive is on the recipient and not the sender, and that the sender is under no obligation to resend communications via any other means, including but not limited to postal service or overnight courier, and that such communications shall for all purposes, including legal and regulatory, be deemed to have been delivered and received. No physical, paper documents will be sent to you, and if you desire physical documents then you agree to be satisfied by directly and personally printing, at your own expense, the electronically sent communication(s) and maintaining such physical records in any manner or form that you desire.

 

Your Consent is Hereby Given: By signing this Subscription Agreement electronically, you are explicitly agreeing to receive documents electronically including your copy of this signed Subscription Agreement as well as ongoing disclosures, communications and notices.
