2. Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the Company to accept this subscription, the Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company as follows:
(a) Receipt of Document; Access to Information. Subscriber has been provided with a copy of the Company’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated April 13, 2017, including the Appendices thereto (the “Memorandum”). The Memorandum and this Subscription Agreement are referred to herein as the “Documents.” The Subscriber has carefully reviewed and is familiar with all of the terms of the Documents, including the Risk Factors contained in the Memorandum. The Subscriber has been given access to full and complete information regarding the Company and has utilized such access to the Subscriber’s satisfaction for the purpose of obtaining such information regarding the Company as the Subscriber has reasonably requested; and, particularly, the Subscriber has been given reasonable opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and to obtain any additional information, to the extent reasonably available. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber has had an opportunity to review all of the Company’s SEC filings, which are publicly available at xxx.XXX.xxx.
| 2 |
(b) Reliance. The Subscriber has relied on nothing other than the Documents (including any exhibits thereto) and the Company’s SEC filings in deciding whether to make an investment in the Company. Except as set forth in the Documents, no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company, any selling agent of the Company, or any agent, employee, or affiliate of the Company or such selling agent.
(c) Economic Loss. The Subscriber believes that an investment in the Securities is suitable for the Subscriber based upon the Subscriber’s age, other investments, tax status, investment experience, investment objectives, investment time horizon, liquidity needs, risk tolerance, financial needs, among other factors. The Subscriber: (i) has adequate means for providing for the Subscriber’s current financial needs and personal contingencies; (ii) has no need for liquidity in this investment; (iii) at the present time, can afford a complete loss of such investment; (iv) does not have overall commitments to investments which are not readily marketable and disproportionate to the Subscriber's net worth, and (v) the Subscriber's investment in the Securities will not cause such overall commitments to become excessive.
(d) Sophistication. The Subscriber, in reaching a decision to subscribe, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Subscriber is capable of reading and interpreting financial statements and evaluating the merits and risk of an investment in the Securities and has the net worth to undertake such risks. The investment contemplated hereby is the result of arm’s length negotiation between the Subscriber and the Company.
(e) General Solicitation. The Subscriber was not offered or sold the Securities, directly or indirectly, by means of any form of general advertising or general solicitation, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar medium of or broadcast over television or radio; or (2) to the knowledge of the undersigned, any seminar or meeting whose attendees had been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising (a “General Solicitation”).
(f) Seek Advice. The Subscriber has obtained, to the extent the Subscriber deems necessary, the Subscriber’s own personal professional advice with respect to the risks inherent in the investment in the securities, and the suitability of an investment in the Securities in light of the Subscriber's financial condition and investment needs;
(g) Investment Risks. The Subscriber recognizes that the Securities as an investment involves a high degree of risk, including those set forth under the risk factors contained in the Documents.
(h) Effect and Time of Representations. The information provided by the Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof. The Subscriber understands that the Company's determination that the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), which is based upon non-public offerings and applicable to the offer and sale of the Securities, is based, in part, upon the representations, warranties, and agreements made by the Subscriber herein. The Subscriber consents to the disclosure of any such information, and any other information furnished to the Company, to any governmental authority or self-regulatory organization, or, to the extent required by law, to any other person.
(i) Restrictions on Transfer; No Market for Securities. The Subscriber acknowledges that (i) the purchase of the Securities is a long-term investment; (ii) the Subscriber must bear the economic risk of investment for an indefinite period of time because the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, the Securities cannot be resold unless they are subsequently registered under said laws or exemptions from such registrations are available; (iii) there is presently no public market for the Securities and the Subscriber may be unable to liquidate the Subscriber’s investment in the event of an emergency, or pledge the Securities as collateral for a loan; and (iv) the transferability of the Securities is restricted and (A) requires conformity with the restrictions contained in paragraph 3 below and (B) legends will be placed on the certificate(s) representing the Securities referring to the applicable restrictions on transferability.
| 3 |
(j) No Backup Withholding. The Subscriber certifies, under penalties of perjury, that the Subscriber is NOT subject to the backup withholding provisions of Section 3406(a)(i)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code.
(k) Restrictive Legend. Stop transfer instructions will be placed with the transfer agent for the Securities, and a legend may be placed on any certificate representing the Securities substantially to the following effect:
THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), IN RELIANCE UPON THE EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED IN THE ACT AND REGULATION D UNDER THE ACT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. AS SUCH, THE PURCHASE OF THIS SECURITY WAS NECESSARILY WITH THE INTENT OF INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW FOR DISTRIBUTION. THEREFORE, ANY SUBSEQUENT TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN WILL BE UNLAWFUL UNLESS IT IS REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT AND ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE. FURTHERMORE, IT IS UNLAWFUL TO CONSUMMATE A SALE OR TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN, WITHOUT THE OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER OR SALE DOES NOT AFFECT THE EXEMPTIONS RELIED UPON BY THE COMPANY IN ORIGINALLY DISTRIBUTING THE SECURITY AND THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
(l) Placement Agent. The Subscriber understands that GVC Capital LLC is acting as placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) on this transaction. The Company will pay the Placement Agent a sales commission of 10% of the gross proceeds of this Offering from investors directed by the Placement Agent. The Placement Agent may re-allow a portion of the commission to participating selling agents. We will also pay the Placement Agent a 3% non-accountable expense allowance. In addition, the Company will sell the Placement Agent, for nominal consideration, warrants equal to 10% of the Units sold in the Offering. The Placement Agent Warrants shall have an exercise price of $2.00 per Unit. The Placement Agent Warrants will be exercisable at any time on or before five years from the Final Closing of the Offering.
(m) Notice of Change. The Subscriber agrees that it will notify the Company in writing promptly (but in all events within thirty (30) days after the applicable change) of any actual or anticipated change in any facts or circumstances, which change would make any of the representations and warranties in this Subscription Agreement untrue if made as of the date of such change (after giving effect thereto).
3. Restricted Nature of the Securities; Investment Intent. The Subscriber has been advised and understands that (a) the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and that the Securities are being offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from such laws; (b) the Documents may not have been filed with or reviewed by certain state securities administrators because of the limited nature of the offering; (c) the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities under the Act or any state securities laws, or to take any action to make any exemption from any such registration provisions available. The Subscriber represents and warrants that the Securities are being purchased for the Subscriber’s own account and for investment purposes only, and without the intention of reselling or redistributing the same; the Subscriber has made no agreement with others regarding any of the Securities; and the Subscriber’s financial condition is such that it is not likely that it will be necessary to dispose of any of such Securities in the foreseeable future. The Subscriber is aware that, in the view of the SEC, a purchase of such securities with an intent to resell by reason of any foreseeable specific contingency or anticipated change in market value, or any change in the condition of the Company, or in connection with a contemplated liquidation settlement of any loan obtained for the acquisition of such securities and for which such securities were pledged, would represent an intent inconsistent with the representations set forth above. The Subscriber further represents and agrees that if, contrary to the foregoing intentions, the Subscriber should later desire to dispose of or transfer any of such Securities in any manner, the Subscriber shall not do so unless and until (i) said Securities shall have first been registered under the Act and all applicable securities laws; or (ii) the Subscriber shall have first delivered to the Company a written notice declaring such holder's intention to effect such transfer and describe in sufficient detail the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer, which notice shall be accompanied either by a written opinion of legal counsel who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, which opinion shall be addressed to the Company and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company's counsel, to the effect that the proposed sale or transfer is exempt from the registration provisions of the Act and all applicable state securities laws, or by a "no action" letter from the SEC to the effect that the transfer of the Securities without registration will not result in recommendation by the staff of the Commission that action be taken with respect thereto.

4. Residence. The Subscriber represents and warrants that the Subscriber is a bona fide resident of, is domiciled in and received the offer and made the decision to invest in the Securities in the state set forth on the signature page hereof, and the Securities are being purchased by the Subscriber in the Subscriber’s name solely for the Subscriber’s own beneficial interest and not as nominee for, or on behalf of, or for the beneficial interest of, or with the intention to transfer to, any other person, trust or organization, except as specifically set forth in this Subscription Agreement.
5. Investor Qualification/Accredited Investor. The Subscriber represents and warrants that the Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as the Subscriber qualifies for one or more of the Categories of Accredited Investors set forth in the “Investor Qualification as an Accredited Investor” section of the Investor Questionnaire.
5. Authority. The undersigned, if other than an individual, makes the following additional representations:
(a) The Subscriber was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities;
(b) The Subscriber is fully authorized, empowered and qualified to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement, to subscribe for and purchase the Securities and to perform its obligations under, and to consummate the transactions that are contemplated by the Subscription Agreement; and
(c) This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Subscriber, has been duly executed by an authorized officer or representative of the Subscriber, and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber enforceable in accordance with its terms.
6. Use of Proceeds / No Minimum Offering. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company has full discretion of the use of any proceeds from the sale of the Units. The Subscriber further acknowledges there is no minimum offering amount for this Offering and that there is no assurance the Company will have access to enough capital to execute its business plan.

The Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and any selling agent (including for this purpose their employees, and each person who controls either of them within the meaning of Section 20 of the Exchange Act) from and against any and all loss, damage, liability or expense, including reasonable costs and attorney's fees and disbursements, which the Company, or such other persons may incur by reason of, or in connection with, any of the representations and warranties made herein and in the Investor Questionnaire not having been true when made, any misrepresentation made by the Subscriber or any failure by the Subscriber to fulfill any of the covenants or agreements set forth herein, or in any other document provided by the Subscriber to the Company.

GVC CAPITAL BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANNING
GVC Capital LLC has developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our business continuity plan.
Contacting Us – If after a significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually do at 303-694-0862, please go to our web site at xxx.xxxxxx.xxx.
Our Business Continuity Plan – We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant business disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm’s books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In short, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption. Our business continuity plan addresses: data back up and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact; regulatory reporting; and assuring our customers prompt access to their funds and securities if we are unable to continue our business.
Varying Disruptions – Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as only our firm, a single building housing our firm, the business district where our firm is located, the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption to only our firm or a building housing our firm, we will transfer our operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within an hour. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we will transfer our operations to a site outside of the affected area, and recover and resume business within a few hours. In either situation, we plan to continue in business, transfer operations to our clearing firm if necessary, and notify you through our web site [xxx.xxxxxx.xxx] or a telephone recording from our main line, [000-000-0000] how to contact us. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will assure our customer’s prompt access to their funds and securities.
For more information – If you have questions about our business continuity planning, you can contact us at (000) 000-0000 or send inquiries to our main office: 0000 X. Xxxxxx Xx. Xxxxx 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000.
