Dear Sir or Madam:
Reference is made to the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of the Partnership dated November 2020 (as supplemented through the date set forth under the Investor’s name below, the “Memorandum”) heretofore furnished to the undersigned subscribing investor (the “Investor”) with respect to the offering of limited partnership interests in the Partnership. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Subscription Agreement (as well as the term “person”) shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, as in effect at the time of the Closing referred to in Section 5 below (the “Partnership Agreement”). The Memorandum, the Partnership Agreement, any letter agreement among the Partnership, the General Partner and the Investor dated as of the date of the Closing (the “Side Letter”) and each other item of written material furnished or made available to the Investor by the Partnership, the General Partner or the Investment Advisor prior to the date set forth under the Investor’s name below and marked specifically by the Partnership, the General Partner or the Investment Advisor as having been intended for reliance by the Investor, are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Offering Materials”.
The Investor hereby agrees as follows:
Section 1. Applicability of this Agreement. The Investor has executed the signature pages to this Subscription Agreement and upon the execution of such signature pages (or counterparts thereof) by the Partnership and the General Partner, this Subscription Agreement shall constitute a valid and legally binding agreement among the Partnership, the General Partner and the Investor.
The General Partner will notify the Investor of its acceptance or rejection of the application within five (5) Business Days after making a decision regarding the application. For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor's application to subscribe for an interest in the Partnership shall be deemed to be accepted only after the General Partner countersigns this Subscription Agreement.
Section 2. Subscription for a Limited Partnership Interest. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, the Investor hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Partnership a limited partnership interest (the “Interest”) in the Partnership, in an amount equal to the “Amount of Commitment” (as set forth in the Investor Profile Form below), at a purchase price equal to 100% of such amount, payable in the manner and at the times provided in the Partnership Agreement, and agrees to adhere to and be bound by the Partnership Agreement and become a Limited Partner of the Partnership. The Interest and the limited partnership interests in the Partnership purchased from time to time by Limited Partners other than the Investor are collectively referred to herein as the “Interests.”

Section 3. Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements of the Investor. The Investor hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Partnership, the General Partner, the Investment Advisor and each other person who acquires Interests from time to time as follows:
(a)Suitability/Review of Offering Materials. The Investor has read, has carefully reviewed and understands the Offering Materials and has consulted with its own attorney, accountant or investment adviser (collectively, the “Investment Representatives”) with respect to the investment in the Interest contemplated hereby and its suitability for the Investor. Any specific acknowledgment set forth below with respect to any statement contained in the Offering Materials shall not be deemed to limit the generality of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 3(a). The Investor understands that the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by the Investor in this Subscription Agreement are being relied upon by the Partnership, the General Partner and the Investment Advisor in determining the Investor’s suitability as a purchaser of Interests and the Partnership’s, the General Partner’s and the Investment Advisor’s compliance with applicable securities and other laws.
(b)Risk Factors, Conflicts, Etc. The Investor understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, a purchase of the Interest, including the risks set forth in the Memorandum, including those disclosed in Section 5 (“Risk Factors”), Section 6 (“Certain Tax Considerations”) and Section 7 (“Legal and Regulatory Considerations”), and has been advised by the General Partner to consult with its own tax, legal, accounting and regulatory advisers in order to fully understand the federal, state, local, and foreign income tax, legal and regulatory consequences of an investment in the Partnership and the Investor has been afforded such opportunity by the General Partner to so consult with its tax, legal, accounting and regulatory advisers.
(c)Purchase for Investment. The Investor is purchasing the Interest for its own account, for investment purposes only, and not as a nominee or agent for the benefit of any other person, and without a view towards resale or distribution thereof, in whole or in part.
(d)Restrictions on Transfer.   The Investor understands and acknowledges that: (i) the Interest has not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under any other applicable securities laws, in reliance on exemptions therefrom and, therefore, the Interest cannot be resold or otherwise disposed of unless it is subsequently registered under the Securities Act and such other applicable securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available; (ii) the transfer of the Interest and the substitution of another Limited Partner for the Investor are restricted by the terms of the Partnership Agreement; (iii) the Investor is agreeing not to resell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Interest, except as permitted by law, including without limitation all applicable securities laws, and by the terms of the Partnership Agreement; (iv) legends stating that the Interest has not been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on the transferability of the Interest will be placed on all documents evidencing the Interest, if any, and stop-order or similar instructions prohibiting transfer of the Interest may be placed by the General Partner in the Partnership’s books and records as a means of preventing the sale or disposition of the Interest otherwise than in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement and applicable law; (v) there is no public or other market for the Interest, and it is not anticipated that such a market will ever develop; (vi) the Partnership does not have any intention of registering the Interest under the Securities Act or any other securities law or of supplying any information which may be necessary to enable the Investor to sell the Interest; and (vii) for the foregoing reasons and other reasons, the Investor may be required to retain ownership of the Interest and bear the economic risk of its investment in the Interest until the termination of the Partnership.

(e)Accredited Investor. One or more of the categories set forth in the Accredited Investor Representation attached hereto as Annex A correctly describe the Investor, and the Investor has so indicated by signing or having its authorized representative sign on the blank line following each and every category that so describes it.
(f)Knowledge and Experience. The Investor currently has, and had immediately prior to its receipt of any offer regarding the Interest, such knowledge, experience and acumen in financial and business matters as to be able to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Interest. The Investor has evaluated the merits and risks of investing in the Interest (including without limitation the risk of loss of its entire investment) and has determined that the Interest is a suitable investment for the Investor.
(g)Opportunity to Verify Information. During the course of this transaction, and prior to the purchase of the Interest, the Investor and its Investment Representatives have been furnished with any and all written materials relating to the Partnership or the offering of the Interests that were requested by the Investor and its Investment Representatives, and have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the General Partner or the Investment Advisor concerning the Partnership, the General Partner, the Investment Advisor, the Partnership Agreement and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Interests, and all such questions have been answered to the satisfaction of the Investor. The Investor has also had the opportunity to obtain any additional information which it considers necessary to verify the information contained in the Offering Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor and its Investment Representatives have relied only on the Offering Materials.
(h)Merits and Risks of an Investment in the Interest. The Investor has been furnished with and has carefully reviewed the Offering Materials and has not relied, in making an investment in the Interest, on any other offering or private placement memorandum, any other representations, statements or materials or any other information whatsoever furnished by or on behalf of the General Partner, the Investment Advisor or the Partnership. The Investor has examined or has had an opportunity to examine, prior to the date hereof, such other information (which information has not been provided by or on behalf of the Partnership, the General Partner or the Investment Advisor and with respect to which the Partnership, the General Partner and the Investment Advisor take no responsibility and make no representation or warranty) as it deems necessary to evaluate and understand the merits and risks of an investment in the Interest and of becoming a Limited Partner of the Partnership.   The Investor understands and acknowledges that: (i) an investment in the Interest involves certain risks, including, without limitation, risk of loss of the Investor’s entire investment, lack of liquidity and substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Interest; (ii) each of the General Partner and the Investment Advisor may receive substantial compensation in connection with the management and operations of the Partnership; (iii) neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other governmental agency or authority has passed upon the Interests or made any finding or determination as to the fairness of an investment in the Interests or the accuracy or adequacy of the disclosures made to the Investor by or on behalf of the General Partner or the Partnership or any other person; and (iv) the Investor is not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke this Subscription Agreement or any of the rights or powers conferred by the Investor herein.
(i)Investment Objectives. The purchase of the Interest by the Investor is consistent with the general investment objectives of the Investor. The Investor has adequate means of providing for the Investor’s current needs and contingencies, has no need for liquidity in connection with its investment in the Interest and at the present time could afford a complete loss of such investment.
 - 3 -

(j)No Distribution of Offering Materials. The Investor has not in any manner distributed the Offering Materials received by it or disclosed any of the contents thereof to any person other than its Investment Representatives.
(k)Full Contribution; Default. The Investor understands that, except as otherwise provided in the Partnership Agreement, the Investor may not make less than the full amount of any required Contribution, and that the Partnership Agreement contains default provisions pursuant to which the Investor may (among other things) lose all or a material portion of its investment in the Interest upon a failure by it to make any such required Contribution.
(l)No Actions, Suits or Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or, to the knowledge of the Investor, threatened against or affecting the Investor or the assets of the Investor in any court or before or by any U.S. federal, state, municipal, foreign or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality which, if adversely determined, would impair the ability of the Investor to perform under this Subscription Agreement or the Partnership Agreement as provided herein and therein.

(Instructions to the Investor: For purposes of calculating a natural person’s net worth, include assets held jointly with such person’s spouse but (A) do not include such person’s primary residence as an asset and (B) do not include debt secured by such person’s primary residence as a liability; provided, however, that such person’s net worth must be reduced by (C) any debt secured by his or her primary residence that is in excess of the estimated fair market value of such primary residence as of the Initial Closing Date and (D) any debt secured by his or her primary residence that is in excess of the amount of any such debt that was outstanding 60 days prior to the Initial Closing Date, other than as a result of the initial acquisition of such primary residence.)
(ii)The Investor is not an investment company registered or required to be registered under the 1940 Act and is not a “business development company” as defined in Section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Advisers Act”).

Advisor) satisfactory in form and substance to the General Partner and the Investment Advisor relating to compliance with such laws, rules and regulations, and to such other matters, as the General Partner or the Investment Advisor shall request. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3(m) shall be deemed repeated and reaffirmed by the Investor as of each date that the Investor is required to make a Contribution to the Partnership.
(n)1940 Act.
(i)General. The Investor understands that the Partnership is not being registered as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act by reason of either: (A) the provisions of Section 3(c)(1) thereof, which excludes from the definition of an investment company any issuer which has not made and does not presently propose to make a public offering of its securities and whose outstanding securities (other than short-term paper) are beneficially owned by not more than 100 persons; or (B) the provisions of Section 3(c)(7) thereof, which excludes from the definition of an investment company any issuer that has not made and does not presently propose to make a public offering of its securities and whose outstanding securities (other than short-term paper) are beneficially owned by persons who, at the time of acquisition of such securities, are “qualified purchasers.” The Investor understands and acknowledges that the General Partner does not have any intention of registering the Partnership as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act. The Investor hereby acknowledges that in order to avoid registering the Partnership as an investment company under the 1940 Act, the General Partner has the right, as provided in the Partnership Agreement, to require any Limited Partner to withdraw from the Partnership in whole or in part.
(ii)“Qualified Purchaser” Status. The Investor has fully completed Annex C hereto, and the information set forth in Annex C hereto is correct. The Investor hereby acknowledges that the Partnership, the General Partner and the Investment Advisor will rely on the information provided by the Investor in Annex C in determining whether the Partnership is exempt from registration as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act by reason of the provisions of Section 3(c)(7) thereof.
(iii)3(c)(1) Status
(A)The Investor, if not a natural person, hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees that: (A) it is “one person” for purposes of Section 3(c)(1) of the 1940 Act; and (B) if the Investor’s Commitment and the Commitments of any other Limited Partners that are the Investor’s Affiliates together equal or exceed 10% of the aggregate Commitments of all the Partners, the Investor is not an “investment company” as defined in Section 3(a) of the 1940 Act, and the Investor has not relied and does not intend to rely upon either of the exceptions from such definition set forth in Sections 3(c)(1) and 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act in order to avoid being classified as an investment company. The Investor hereby acknowledges that the Partnership, the General Partner and the Investment Advisor will rely on the representations made by the Investor in this Section 3(n) in determining whether the Partnership is exempt from registration as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act by reason of the provisions of Section 3(c)(1) thereof.

The Investor is not a participant-directed defined contribution plan.
(iv)If the Investor is unable to make any of the representations set forth in paragraph (iii) of this Section 3(n), the Investor shall so indicate to the General Partner in writing and shall, prior to the date hereof, (x) complete Annex G and (y) provide the General Partner with any additional evidence (including opinions of outside counsel, if requested by the General Partner) satisfactory in form and substance to the General Partner relating to compliance with the Securities Act, the 1940 Act, the Investment Advisers Act and such other matters as the General Partner shall request.

The information set forth in Annex B hereto, which has been fully completed by the Investor, is true and correct.

(r)Execution; Enforceability. Each of this Subscription Agreement, the Partnership Agreement and the Side Letter (if any) has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Investor and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof and thereof by the General Partner, the Partnership (in the case of this Subscription Agreement and the Side Letter) and the other Limited Partners (in the case of the Partnership Agreement), is a valid and legally binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability hereof or thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.
(s)No Conflict with Other Instruments, Laws. The execution and delivery by the Investor of this Subscription Agreement, the Partnership Agreement and the Side Letter (if any), the performance by the Investor of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, the Partnership Agreement and the Side Letter (if any), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not result in a violation of, constitute a default or require notice or consent under, or conflict with, any term of the Investor’s constitutive documents or any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order, law, rule or regulation applicable to the Investor or any of its properties or assets.
(t)Certain Tax Matters. The Investor acknowledges and understands that the Partnership has been organized, and has been and will be managed, so as to qualify for the benefit of a safe harbor under Section 7704 of the Code from “publicly traded partnership” status, the effect of which will be to restrict the transferability of the Interest. If the Investor is a partnership, grantor trust or “S corporation” (in each case, as defined in the Code), then less than 50% of the aggregate value of any beneficial owner’s interest in the Investor is attributable to the Investor’s (direct or indirect) ownership of an Interest in the Partnership.

For purposes of calculating net worth (a) do not include your primary residence as an asset and (b) do not include debt secured by your primary residence as a liability, provided, however, you must reduce your net worth by (c) any debt secured by your primary residence that is in excess of the estimated fair market value of your primary residence at the time of purchase and (d) any debt secured by your primary residence that is in excess of the amount of any such debt that was outstanding 60 days prior to the effective date of this Subscription Agreement, other than as a result of the initial acquisition of your primary residence.

_____________________

5 A “knowledgeable employee” of a private fund (such as the Partnership) is defined in Rule 3c-5(a)(4) promulgated under the Investment Company Act as any natural person who is (i) an executive officer, director, trustee, general partner advisory board member, or person serving in a similar capacity, of the private fund or an affiliated management person (as defined in Rule 3c-5(a)(1)) of the private fund; or (ii) an employee of the private fund or an affiliated management person of the private fund (other than an employee performing solely clerical, secretarial or administrative functions with regard to such private fund or its investments) who, in connection with his or her regular functions or duties, participates in the investment activities of such private fund, other private funds, or investment companies the investment activities of which are managed by such affiliated management person of the private fund, provided that such employee has been performing such functions and duties for or on behalf of the private fund or the affiliated management person of the private fund, or substantially similar functions or duties for or on behalf of another company for at least 12 months. An “affiliated management person”, as defined in Rule 3c-5(a)(1) promulgated under the Investment Company Act, means an affiliated person (as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act) that manages the investment activities of a private fund.   For the purpose of this item, a knowledgeable employee’s accredited investor status will be attributed to the employee’s spouse with respect to joint investments in the Fund.
6 For purposes hereof, a “spousal equivalent” has the meaning set forth in 17 CFR §275.202(a)(11)(G)-1(d)(9) (i.e., a cohabitant occupying a relationship generally equivalent to that of a spouse).

Page 15 of 21

exceed the amount equal to the investment actually rendered by the Investor in the Company under this Investment Agreement.
