The Subscriber understands it will receive or have access to confidential proprietary information concerning the Fund, the Investment Funds (as defined in the Prospectus) and the affiliates of each including, without limitation, portfolio positions, valuations, information regarding potential investments, financial information, trade secrets and the like (collectively, “Confidential Information”), which are proprietary in nature and non-public.

  11. Attached to the Subscription Agreement Signature Pages is IRS Form W-9 or Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP, or W-8IMY (as appropriate), which has been duly completed and executed by the Subscriber and the information contained therein is complete and accurate. The Subscriber agrees to notify the Adviser in the event any information provided therein becomes inaccurate and to update or replace such form in accordance with its terms or subsequent amendments.

 

  12. The Subscriber will notify the Fund within 60 calendar days in the event the Subscriber’s IRS Form(s) W-8 or W-9 or such other tax information, documentation or representations (including any tax-related forms) previously provided by the Subscriber become incorrect, obsolete (including by operation of law) or ineffective and will promptly provide such updated forms, information, documentation or representations, as applicable.

 

  13. The Subscriber agrees to provide the Fund with (i) such information as the Fund reasonably requests from time to time with respect to the Subscriber’s citizenship, residency, ownership, tax status, business or control so as to permit the Fund to evaluate and comply with any regulatory and tax requirements applicable to the Fund, provided that any confidential information so provided shall be kept confidential by the Fund and the Adviser and shall not be disclosed to any third party (other than the Fund’s service providers in the ordinary course of business) unless required by law or by any court of law or by any regulatory authority, (ii) any additional tax-related information, certificates or documentation reasonably requested by the Adviser that is required for the Fund to comply with the information, diligence, reporting and other requirements of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act as codified in sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and any U.S. Treasury Regulations, rules or other guidance issued thereunder (including after the date hereof) and the terms of any intergovernmental agreement and any implementing legislation or rules (collectively, “FATCA”) and to avoid any withholding on payments made to or by the Fund pursuant to FATCA, and (iii) provide the Adviser with additional tax-related information or documentation as may be required as a result of such change in status or as the Adviser may otherwise request from time to time, including, without limitation, such information as may be required to comply with the terms of any provisions of (or election under) Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of the Code (as determined in the sole judgment of the Adviser).

 

  14. The Subscriber understands the performance allocation or “carried interest” that may be charged by a manager of an Investment Fund and its risks, including that a performance allocation or “carried interest” may create an incentive to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of a performance allocation or “carried interest.”

 

  15. The Subscriber understands that by investing in the Fund, the Subscriber will bear its proportionate share of expenses and fees as an investor in the Fund and, indirectly, fees and expenses of the Master Fund, fees, expenses, performance allocations, and carried interests in the Investment Funds in which the Fund invests. An investment in the Fund will likely result in higher total fees than a direct investment in an Investment Fund and will have different performance than an Investment Fund.

 

  16. The Subscriber understands that an investment in the Fund involves limited diversification, the use of leverage, limited liquidity and capital calls made on short notice.

 

9


  17. The Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the Subscriber is investing in the Fund as a common investment vehicle rather than as a means to facilitate the Subscriber’s individual or separate investment decisions; (ii) the Units purchased by the Subscriber will not be held in a form used primarily to circumvent the federal securities laws; (iii) the Subscriber has no contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or pledge to such person or entity or anyone else the Units purchased by the Subscriber or any part thereof, and the Subscriber has no present plans to enter into any such contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement; (iv) the Units purchased by the Subscriber cannot be sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the Fund, which may be withheld in its sole discretion; (v) there will be no public market for the Units; and (vi) any disposition of the Units may result in unfavorable tax consequences to the Subscriber.

 

  18. The Subscriber is aware and acknowledges that: (i) any U.S. federal, non-U.S. and/or state income tax benefits which may be available to the Subscriber may be lost through the adoption of new laws or of regulations or changes to existing laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations; (ii) the Subscriber, in making an investment, is relying solely upon the advice of the Subscriber’s personal tax adviser with respect to the tax aspects of an investment in the Fund; and (iii) because there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Units purchased by the Subscriber, it may not be possible for the Subscriber to liquidate its Units.

 

  19. If the Subscriber is or is acting on behalf of an employee benefit plan, individual retirement account (“IRA”), or other Benefit Plan Investor (a “Benefit Plan Investor”) or is acting on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to any state, local or non-US law similar to Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”, and such plan, together with the Benefit Plan Investors, a “Plan”), the fiduciary executing this Subscription Agreement on behalf of the Plan (the “Fiduciary”) represents and warrants to the Fund that:

 

  a. The Fiduciary has considered the following with respect to the Plan’s investment in the Fund and has determined that, in view of such considerations, the purchase of the Units is consistent with the Fiduciary’s responsibilities under ERISA or Similar Law, as applicable:

 

  i. The fiduciary investment standards under ERISA or any applicable Similar Law in the context of the Plan’s particular circumstances;

 

  ii. The prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA or any applicable Similar Law, including the risks associated with an investment in the Fund and the fact that the Subscriber will be unable to transfer the Unit purchased by the Subscriber or withdraw from the Fund, except as set forth in the Prospectus and the LLC Agreement;

 

  iii. The permissibility of an investment in the Fund under the documents governing the Plan and the Fiduciary;

 

  iv. The prohibited transaction rules under ERISA, the Code, and any applicable Similar Law.

 

  b. The Fiduciary: (a) is solely responsible for the decision to invest in the Fund; (b) is independent of the Fund, the Adviser, the Distributor or any of their affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, has not relied on any advice or recommendation of the Fund, the Adviser, the Distributor or any of their affiliates.

 

10


  c. The Subscriber agrees that if it is a Plan that is a participant directed defined contribution plan, or a Plan that is both voluntary and contributory, it has informed the Adviser of such fact in writing and may be required to provide additional documentation.

 

  20. The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that none of the Fund, the Adviser, the Administrator or the Distributor have any right to participate in the control, management or operations of any Investment Fund or any Investment Fund Manager or have any discretion over the investments made by any Investment Fund or any Investment Fund Manager as those terms are used in the Prospectus.

 

  21. The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that: (a) the value of the Subscriber’s Units and the performance of the Fund may be based on unaudited and, in some cases, estimated valuations of the Fund’s investments; (b) any valuation provided in the Subscriber’s account statement may be an unaudited, estimated value; and (c) such valuations may be subject to subsequent adjustment.

 

  22. The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Fund, the Adviser, the Administrator or the Distributor may present this Subscription Agreement and the information provided herein to such parties as deemed advisable if: (a) called upon to establish a fact or circumstance relating to the offer and sale of the Units; (b) this Subscription Agreement or such information is relevant to an issue in any action, suit, proceeding or investigation to which the Fund, the Adviser, the Administrator or the Distributor or any of their affiliates is a party or by which they are or may be bound in connection with anti-money laundering and similar laws; or (c) called upon to establish that the Fund, the Adviser, the Administrator or the Distributor or any of their affiliates has complied with all applicable statutes, rules and regulations governing tax withholding and information reporting.

 

  23. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such applicable law. Any provision hereof that may be held invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions hereof, and to such extent, the provisions hereof shall be severable.

If the Subscriber is an entity (other than a trust) the subscriber confirms that it either (I) was not formed for the specific purpose of investing in the Fund or (II) is an “Accredited Investor” because each beneficial owner of the Subscriber is an “Accredited Investor,” the Subscriber represents and warrants that it has confirmed that each beneficial owner of the Subscriber is an “Accredited Investor” in its own right, and the Fund, based on this representation, has a reasonable basis to accept the Subscriber as an “Accredited Investor.”

Insurance Company General Account:    ¨    Yes      ¨    No

  6. Cost Basis Election

In order for us to determine the gain or loss when you redeem Units, AMG Funds LLC (“AMG Funds”) must determine the “cost basis” for those shares. The cost basis is the value of each Unit at the time you acquired it. The law requires AMG Funds to select a default method to determine your cost basis.

AMG Funds has decided to use what is known as the Average Cost method. Under this method, AMG Funds will calculate the total cost of all Units in your account and divide that cost by the total Units in your account; this will determine the cost basis for the Units that you are redeeming. Please note that you are able to select a different method below if you would prefer it.

Note: IRS Regulations do not permit you to change the method used to determine the cost basis of a settled trade.

 

¨ I choose the Fund’s default method of Average Cost

I choose a method other than Average Cost:

 

  ¨ FIFO –First In, First Out (AMG Funds will redeem the oldest available Units first, using their cost basis to determine the gains or losses you incur on the redemption.)

 

  ¨ Specific Identification (When you redeem Units, you must tell AMG Funds which particular Units you are selling; your gain or loss will vary based on the Units you select.)

 

  7. Important Notices

The USA Patriot Act

In order to fight the funding of terrorist activity and money laundering, the selling agent, like other financial institutions, is required by law to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account, including legal persons such as corporations and partnerships. When an account is opened, the selling agent asks for information to identify the person opening the account and in some cases the persons controlling the account. The selling agent may also ask for identifying corporate documentation. Such information, like all customer information, is confidential as required by law. The Subscriber hereby specifically confirms and acknowledges its representations relating to Money Laundering Prevention contained in the Fund’s Subscription Agreement.

SUMMARY OF RISKS OF THE FUND

AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SPECULATIVE INVESTMENT THAT ENTAILS SUBSTANTIAL RISKS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

 

    LOSS OF CAPITAL.

 

    THE UNITS WILL NOT BE LISTED ON ANY SECURITIES EXCHANGE AND IT IS NOT ANTICIPATED THAT A SECONDARY MARKET FOR THE UNITS WILL DEVELOP.

 

    THE UNITS ARE SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE LLC AGREEMENT.

 

    ALTHOUGH THE FUND MAY OFFER TO REPURCHASE UNITS FROM TIME TO TIME, UNITS WILL NOT BE REDEEMABLE AT A SUBSCRIBER’S SOLE OPTION NOR WILL THEY BE EXCHANGEABLE FOR UNITS OR SHARES OF ANY OTHER FUND. AS A RESULT, A SUBSCRIBER MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL OR OTHERWISE LIQUIDATE HIS OR HER UNITS OR MAY LIQUIDATE HIS OR HER UNITS BELOW THE PRICE OF THE SUBSCRIBER’S INITIAL PURCHASE PRICE.

 

    UNITS ARE APPROPRIATE ONLY FOR THOSE SUBSCRIBERS WHO CAN TOLERATE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND DO NOT REQUIRE A LIQUID INVESTMENT AND FOR WHOM AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE INVESTMENT PROGRAM.

 

    THE FUND DOES NOT INTEND TO REPURCHASE ANY UNITS BEFORE SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THE FUND WILL REPURCHASE NO MORE THAN 5% OF ITS NET ASSETS PER QUARTER THEREAFTER.

See “Types of Investments and Related Risk Factors” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information.
