6. SUBSCRIPTION FOR SHARES

 

(A)The offer and sale of Shares in the Fund is being made pursuant to a private placement exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, by means of a private placement memorandum dated April 1, 2022, as supplemented or amended (the “Memorandum”). Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase Shares on the terms provided for herein and in the Memorandum, and is delivering the Investment Amount set forth in Section 1 above with this subscription agreement as payment for the Shares. The Investor agrees to and understands the terms and conditions upon which the Shares are being offered, including, without limitation, the risk factors referred to in the Memorandum.

 

(B)Shares will be purchased and sold, and the Investor admitted as a shareholder of the Fund, when the Fund accepts the Investor’s subscription for Shares and payment for the Shares is received by the Fund (the “Closing”). The Closing will be as of such date (the “Closing Date”) as is specified by the Fund in a notice to the Investor whose subscription for Shares is accepted as of such Closing Date. Shares subscribed for herein shall not be deemed to be issued to, or owned by, the Investor prior to the Closing.

 

(C)The Investor understands and agrees that the Fund has the right, to be exercised in its sole discretion, to accept or reject any subscription in whole or in part for a period of 30 days after receipt of the subscription. Any subscription not accepted within 30 days of receipt shall be deemed rejected. In the event of rejection of this subscription, this Subscription Agreement shall have no force or effect.

7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INVESTOR

 

By executing the Subscription Agreement, Investor represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

 

(A)The Investor will not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares, directly or indirectly, without the consent of the Fund (which consent may be withheld for any or no reason by the Fund in its sole and absolute discretion), without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and the Investor fully understands and agrees that it must bear the economic risk of its investment for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of certain states of the United States or other jurisdictions in reliance on exemptions from such registration and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under applicable securities laws of such states of the United States or other jurisdictions or an exemption from such registration is available. The Investor understands that the Fund is not under any obligation to register the Shares on its behalf or to assist it in complying with any exemption from such registration under the Securities Act or otherwise. The Investor understands that there is no established market for the Shares and no public market for the Shares is likely to develop. It also understands that sales or transfers of the Shares are further restricted by the securities laws of the states of the United States and of other jurisdictions. The Fund may condition any consent on receipt from the Investor of an opinion of counsel and certificates, covenants, representations or warranties reasonably acceptable to the Fund. Any such transfer made without the consent of the Fund shall be void and shall not at any time have any force or effect.

 

(B)The Investor has received and carefully read a copy of the Memorandum outlining, among other things, the organization and investment objectives and policies of, and the risks of an investment in, the Fund as well as the fees and conflicts of interest to which the Fund is subject. The Investor acknowledges that in making a decision to subscribe for Shares, the Investor has relied solely upon the Memorandum. The Investor agrees that the contents of the Memorandum and related documents is to be kept confidential and the Investor has not reproduced, duplicated or delivered the Memorandum or this Subscription Agreement to any other person, except to professional advisers of the Investor.

(F)The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Investor’s investment in the Shares and is able to bear such risks, and has obtained, in the Investor’s judgment, sufficient information from the Investor’s Financial Advisor, the Fund or its authorized representatives to evaluate the merits and risks of such investment. The Investor has evaluated the risks of investing in the Shares and has determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Investor.

 

(G)The Investor has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and personal or other contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Shares. The Investor has determined that it could bear a complete loss of this investment.

 

(H)The Investor is acquiring the Shares subscribed for herein for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to distribute or resell such Shares in whole or in part, no other Person has a direct or indirect ownership interest in the Shares other than as a stockholder in, partner or member of, or, if the Investor is a trust, beneficiary of, the Investor, and there are no put, call, or similar arrangements with respect to the Shares.

 

(I)If the undersigned is, or is investing on behalf of, a tax-exempt entity (including an IRA), a qualified pension, profit sharing, or stock bonus plan or a tax-exempt educational organization, the undersigned represents that the undersigned and the Investor have each consulted with knowledgeable, independent tax and ERISA advisors in evaluating an investment in the Fund as a permissible and an appropriate investment after taking into consideration, among other factors, the diversification requirements of Section 404(a)(3) of ERISA and the illiquidity of the investment, and have concluded it is an appropriate investment under the plan documents, including that the investment will not result in a non exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code if applicable, and is consistent with any fiduciary obligations the undersigned and the governing body of such Investor may have under ERISA or other applicable law. The undersigned represents that it is independent of the Fund or any of its affiliates and that neither the undersigned nor the Investor is relying on any advice with respect to such matters from the Fund or its representatives or agents but, rather, has made an independent evaluation of the risks and benefits of such an investment. The Investor deliver to the Fund in writing all of the information that the Fund may request in order to avoid violations of any provision of ERISA or any other laws applicable to the Investor, and promptly will notify the Fund, in writing, of any change in the information so furnished.

(1)no U.S. federal or state agency has passed upon the Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment;

 

(2)there are substantial risks of loss of investment (including the risk of loss of the entire amount invested) incidental to the purchase of the Shares, including those summarized in the Memorandum;

 

(3)any statements, estimates or projections that have been provided are forward-looking statements and are based on estimates and assumptions that may prove incorrect, and actual results could differ materially from forward-looking statements and targeted results; and

The signature on this Subscription Agreement is genuine, and the signatory, if the Investor is an individual, has legal competence and capacity to execute the same, or, if the Investor is not an individual, the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms.

 

(L)The Investor agrees to timely furnish additional information or documentation regarding its ownership structure and the Investor’s suitability if the Fund reasonably requests such information or documentation.

(N)Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Fund and its affiliates may release confidential information given by the Investor to the Fund about the Investor to regulatory or law enforcement authorities, if the Fund, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that it is in the best interest of the Fund to do so, or to such parties as the Fund may deem advisable if it is called upon to establish the availability under any applicable law of an exemption from registration of the Shares or the Fund, to demonstrate compliance or to comply with any laws, rules or regulations to which the Fund or any other service provider providing services to any of the foregoing is or becomes subject, or if the contents thereof are relevant to any issue in any action, suit, or proceeding to which the Fund is a party or by which it is or may be bound, or to lenders, attorneys, accountants, prospective Investors and service providers and other representatives or advisors in the ordinary course of business.

 

(O)If the undersigned is acquiring the Shares in a fiduciary capacity: (i) the foregoing representations, warranties and agreements shall be deemed to have been made on behalf of the person or persons for whose benefit such Shares are being acquired; (ii) the name of such person or persons is indicated herein; and (iii) such further information as the Fund deems appropriate shall be furnished regarding such person or persons.

(Q)The Investor agrees and is aware that the Fund, Wellings Capital Management, LLC (“Investment Advisor”), and their respective officers, directors, employees and affiliates are not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity in connection with the offering of the Shares, and that the Fund and the Investment Adviser have financial interests associated with the purchase of the Shares, as described in the Memorandum, including fees, expense reimbursements and other payments they anticipate receiving from the Fund in connection with the purchase of the Shares.

(D)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. The mechanics of the electronic signature requested herein include your execution of both this Subscription Agreement in a single signature block. By typing in your name, with the underlying software recording your IP address, your browser identification, the timestamp, and a security hash within an SSL encrypted environment, you will have accepted and agreed, without reservation, to all of the terms and conditions contained within this Subscription Agreement and the Memorandum. Your electronically signed Agreements will be stored by the Fund in such a manner that the Fund can access them at any time.

 

(E)You hereby consent and agree that the electronic signature below constitutes your signature, acceptance and agreement of both the Subscription Agreement as if each of these documents were 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 Fund.

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 recipients’ 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.
