(a) If the Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, trust, estate or other entity, it is empowered, authorized and qualified to subscribe hereunder, to commit capital to the Partnership hereunder and to become an associate general partner in and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement, to make its capital contributions to the Partnership, and the person signing this Subscription Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such entity to do so and has the power to delegate authority pursuant to a power of attorney to be granted under the Partnership Agreement. If the Subscriber is an individual, the Subscriber is of legal age to execute this Agreement and is legally competent to do so.

(b) The Subscriber is acquiring the Interest for the Subscriber’s own account as principal for investment and not with a present view to the distribution or sale thereof, subject to any requirement of law that its property at all times be within its control.

(c) Immediately prior to the Subscriber’s purchase of the Interest, the Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Subscriber is and will be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment.

(d) The Subscriber has no need for liquidity in this investment, has the ability to bear the economic risk of this investment and at the present time and in the foreseeable future can afford a complete loss of this investment; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be deemed a waiver or release of any claim, liability, duty or obligation.

(e) The Subscriber is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). In particular, and without limitation:

- 2 -


$300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same level in the current year; and

(f) The Subscriber (A) is a Qualified Purchaser or a Knowledgeable Employee as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and the rules promulgated thereunder, (B) was not formed for the purpose of acquiring an Interest in the Partnership and that the Interest it is acquiring will not comprise more than forty percent (40%) of the value of the Subscriber’s total assets or, if applicable, the aggregate capital commitments made by the Subscriber’s partners, members, shareholders or others, and (C) does not permit the holders of securities issued by the Subscriber to elect whether to participate, through the Subscriber, in an investment in the Partnership. If the Subscriber is not able to make the representations and warranties set forth in clause (B) or clause (C) of the preceding sentence, then each owner of the Subscriber’s securities is a Qualified Purchaser or a Knowledgeable Employee.

(g) The Subscriber has and shall deliver to the General Partner such information as to certain matters under the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as the General Partner may reasonably request in order to ensure compliance with such Acts and the availability of any exemption thereunder.

(h) The Subscriber has, immediately prior to investing in the Partnership, a net worth in excess of $2,000,000 or has, immediately after investing in the Partnership, at least $1,000,000 managed by the General Partner.

(i) The Subscriber was not offered the opportunity to invest in the Partnership or to acquire the Interests by means of any general solicitation or advertising, such as media advertising, public seminars, or pursuant to a generally accessible website. None of the Partnership, the General Partner, or any person acting on their behalf, offered to sell the Subscriber any Interest by means of general solicitation.

(j) The Subscriber has reviewed the Investment Documents and other informational materials that were provided by the General Partner, and has read and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, a purchase of the Interest and the Partnership’s investment objectives, policies and strategies.

(l) The Subscriber has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the General Partner, its affiliates and/or their respective personnel relating to the Partnership, concerning the terms and conditions of this offering and other matters pertaining to this investment, and has had access to such financial and other information concerning the Partnership as it has considered necessary to make a decision to invest in the Partnership and has availed itself of this opportunity to the full extent desired.

(n) If all or part of the funds that the Subscriber is using or will use to purchase the Interest hereby subscribed for are assets of an employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), subject to Title I of ERISA, or a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or an entity the assets of which are deemed to be plan assets pursuant to Section 3(42) of ERISA or 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101:

(i) The funds so constituting plan assets have been identified in writing to the General Partner in such manner and on such terms and conditions as set forth on Annex I hereto.

(ii) Its proposed purchase of an Interest is permissible under the documents governing the investment of such plan assets to the extent any such requirements are applicable.

(iii) In making the proposed purchase of an Interest, it is aware of and has taken into consideration the diversification requirements of Section 404(a)(1) of ERISA and the decision to invest plan assets in the Partnership is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification in the investment of plan assets to the extent any such requirements are applicable.

(iv) It has concluded that the proposed purchase of an Interest is prudent and is consistent with other applicable fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA to the extent any such requirements are applicable.

(v) The execution of this Agreement, and the Subscriber’s obligations hereunder, will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

(o) If the Subscriber is not a “United States person,” as defined below, the Subscriber has heretofore notified the General Partner in writing of its status as such a person and has provided all relevant Internal Revenue Service forms to the General Partner (including, without limitation, IRS Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8EXP and/or W-8IMY) necessary to permit the General Partner to determine the Partnership’s or any of its affiliates’ withholding obligations. If the Subscriber is a “United States person,” as defined below, the Subscriber has provided a duly executed IRS Form W-9 to the General Partner. For this purpose, “United States person” means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, or a trust that (i) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or

(p) The information provided herein and in the Annexes hereto is accurate and complete as of the date hereof. If there should be any material change in any such information prior to the admission of the Subscriber as an associate general partner of the Partnership, the Subscriber will promptly furnish accurate and complete information concerning such material change to the General Partner.

(q) The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement and the Partnership Agreement by the Subscriber and the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder and thereunder do not result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement, note or other evidence of indebtedness, or any lease or other agreement, or any license, permit, franchise or certificate, to which the Subscriber is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its properties are subject, or require any authorization or approval under or pursuant to any of the foregoing, or violate in any material respect any statute, regulation, law, order, writ, injunction or decree to which the Subscriber is subject.

(r) The Partnership will not accept the investment of funds by natural persons or entities acting, directly or indirectly, in contravention of any applicable money laundering regulations or conventions of the United States or other international jurisdictions, or on behalf of terrorists, terrorist organizations or narcotics traffickers, including those persons or entities that are included on any relevant lists maintained by the United Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Financial Action Task Force, the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, all as may be amended from time to time (“Prohibited Investments”). The Subscriber represents and warrants that the proposed subscription for Interests in the Partnership, whether made on the Subscriber’s own behalf or, if applicable, as an agent, trustee, representative, intermediary, nominee, or in a similar capacity on behalf of any other person or entity, nominee account or beneficial owner, whether a natural person or entity (each an “Underlying Beneficial Owner”), is not a Prohibited Investment, and further represents and warrants that the Subscriber will promptly notify the Partnership of any change in its status or the status of any Underlying Beneficial Owner(s) with respect to its representations and warranties regarding Prohibited Investments.

(s) The Partnership is, or may in the future become subject to, money laundering statutes, regulations and conventions of the United States or other international jurisdictions, and the Subscriber agrees to execute instruments, provide information, or perform any other acts as may reasonably be requested by the General Partner, or other authorized representative of the Partnership, for the purpose of: (i) carrying out due diligence as may be required by applicable law to establish the identity of (A) the Subscriber, (B) any Underlying Beneficial Owner(s) of the Subscriber and (C) any investors, partners, members, directors, officers, beneficiaries or grantors of the Subscriber, and any Underlying Beneficial Owner(s) of such investors, partners, members, directors, officers, beneficiaries or grantors, as applicable; (ii) maintaining records of identities, or verifications or certifications as to identities; and (iii) taking

 

- 5 -


any other actions as may be required to comply with and remain in compliance with money laundering or related statutes, regulations or conventions applicable to the Partnership.

(t) The Subscriber authorizes and consents to the General Partner, or other authorized representative of the Partnership, contacting each bank or other financial institution with which the Subscriber maintains an account from which funds used to acquire Interests in the Partnership will be drawn, and verifying with each such bank or other financial institution the identity of the Subscriber.

(u) The Subscriber authorizes and consents to the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, releasing information about the Subscriber and, if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner(s), to the appropriate governmental or regulatory authorities if the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion, determines that it is in the best interests of the Partnership in light of applicable statutes, regulations and conventions concerning Prohibited Investments.

(v) Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Partnership Agreement and any other Partnership documents, each Subscriber and prospective investor (and each employee, representative or other agent of each such Subscriber and prospective investor) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and any facts that may be relevant to the tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Partnership Agreement and the agreements referred to therein, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any such persons relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided, however, that no Subscriber or prospective investor (and no employee, representative, or other agent thereof) shall take any action that would violate any applicable federal or state securities laws.

(w) The Subscriber agrees to furnish (including by way of updates) to the General Partner in such form as is reasonably requested by the General Partner any information, representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the General Partner to assist it in obtaining any exemption, reduction or refund of any withholding or other taxes imposed by any taxing authority or other governmental agency (including withholding taxes imposed pursuant to the U.S. Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act of 2010, or any similar or successor legislation or any agreement entered into pursuant to any such legislation) upon the Partnership, amounts paid to the Partnership, or amounts distributable by the Partnership to the Partners.

(x) The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that Clifford Chance US LLP and its affiliates and any other law firm retained by the General Partner in connection with the organization of the Partnership, the offering of Interests in the Partnership, the management and operation of the Partnership, or any dispute between the General Partner and any other Partner, is acting as counsel to the General Partner and as such does not represent or owe any duty to such other Partner or to such other Partners as a group.

2.2 Investor Awareness. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber is aware that:

 

- 6 -


(a) No federal or state agency has passed upon the Interests or made any finding or determination as to the fairness of this investment. The Partnership Agreement has not been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or with any securities administrator under state or other securities laws.

(b) There are substantial risks incident to the purchase of Interests, including the information materials that were provided by the General Partner.

(c) There are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Interests under the Partnership Agreement and under applicable law; there is no established market for the Interests and no public market for the Interests will develop; the Interests will not be, and investors in the Partnership have no rights to require that the Interests be, registered under the 1933 Act or the securities laws of the various states and therefore cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered or unless an exemption from such registration is available; the Subscriber may have to hold the Interest herein subscribed for and bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely and it may not be possible for the Subscriber to liquidate its investment in the Partnership.

(d) With respect to the tax and other legal consequences of an investment in the Interest, the Subscriber is relying solely upon the advice of its own tax and legal advisors and upon the legal opinions of counsel to the Partnership delivered in connection with the Closing in which the Subscriber will be admitted as an associate general partner in the Partnership and not upon the general discussion of such matters set forth in the information materials that were provided by the General Partner.

(e) The General Partner and its affiliates will receive substantial compensation in connection with the Partnership irrespective of the success of its operation and, to the extent permitted by the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner and its affiliates are (and in the future may continue to be) engaged in businesses that are competitive with that of the Partnership. Subject to the restrictions contained in the Partnership Agreement, the Subscriber agrees and consents to these activities of the General Partner and its affiliates even though there are conflicts of interest inherent in such activities and even though the Subscriber will have no interest in such activities except as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.

(f) The Subscriber will be subject to the default provisions set forth in the Partnership Agreement in the event the Subscriber fails to make capital contributions as required under the Partnership Agreement.

(g) By submitting its subscription for the Interest, the Subscriber agrees to comply with and be bound by the terms of the Partnership Agreement, including, without limitation, the irrevocable appointment of the General Partner, and the successors and assigns of the General Partner, as the Subscriber’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with the power and authority set forth in Section 2.5 of the Partnership Agreement, subject to any side letters executed in connection with this Agreement.

APPENDIX A

TO THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OF

CSFR OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.

INVESTMENTS

For determining whether you are a “Qualified Purchaser,” the term “investments” includes:

 

1) Securities, other than securities of an issuer that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with you, unless the issuer of such securities is a “public company,” a “financial company” or has more than $50 million in equity, as reflected on such company’s financial statements which present such equity information as of a date within 16 months preceding the date on which you acquire an Interest. The term “public company” includes all companies that file reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or have a class of securities that are listed on a Designated Offshore Securities Market, as defined by Regulation S of the Securities Act. The term “financial company” includes a commodity pool or an “investment company” (whether U.S. or offshore) or a company required to register as such under the Investment Company Act but for the exclusions or exemptions provided by sections 3(c)(1) through 3(c)(9) of the Investment Company Act;

 

2) Real estate held for investment purposes so long as it is not used by you or a close relative (generally, a sibling, spouse, former spouse, direct ancestor or descendent or a spouse of such an ancestor or descendent) for personal or business purposes. However, if you are primarily in the real estate business, such real estate is includable as an “investment” even if it is held by the owner;

 

3) “Commodity interests” or “physical commodities” held for investment purposes by you. “Commodity interests” include commodity futures contracts, options on commodity futures contracts, and options on physical commodities traded on or subject to the rules of (i) any contract market designated for trading such transactions under the United States Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules thereunder or (ii) any board of trade or exchange outside the United States, as contemplated in Part 30 of the rules under the Commodity Exchange Act. “Physical commodities” include any physical commodity with respect to which a “commodity interest” is traded on a market specified in the definition of commodity interests above;

 

4) To the extent not securities, “financial contracts” entered into for investment purposes or in connection with investments. “Financial contracts” include any arrangement that (i) takes the form of an individually negotiated contract, agreement, or option to buy, sell, lend, swap, or repurchase, or other similar individually negotiated transaction commonly entered into by participants in the financial markets; (ii) is in respect of securities, commodities, currencies, interest or other rates, other measures of value, or any other financial or economic interest similar in purpose or function to any of the foregoing; and (iii) is entered into in response to a request from a counterparty for a quotation, or is otherwise entered into and structured to accommodate the objectives of the counterparty to such arrangement;

 

5) If you are a commodity pool or an investment company exempted from registration by section (3)(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act, any amounts payable to you pursuant to a firm agreement or similar binding commitment upon your demand; and

 

6) Cash and cash equivalents held for investment purposes, such as bank deposits, foreign currencies, certificates of deposit, net cash surrender value of an insurance policy and cash held for defensive purposes.

“Investments” do not include other assets which do not reflect experience in the financial markets, such as jewelry, art work, antiques and other collectibles.

 

- 14 -


For purposes of determining the amount of “investments” owned by a company, “investments” of a parent company and its majority-owned subsidiaries may be aggregated to meet the minimum “investment” amount requirements, regardless of which company is the prospective Qualified Purchaser.

For purposes of determining the amount of “investments” owned by a natural person, there may be included any “investment” held jointly or as community property with such person’s spouse. In determining whether spouses who are making a joint investment in the Partnership are Qualified Purchasers, there may be included in the amount of each spouse’s “investments” (without duplication) any “investments” owned by the other spouse (whether or not such “investments” are held jointly). In determining whether a natural person is a Qualified Purchaser, there may be included in the amount of such person’s “investments” any “investments” held in an individual retirement account 401(k) plan, Keogh plan or similar account the investments of which are directed by and held for the benefit of such person.

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

In determining the value of “investments” in order to ascertain Qualified Purchaser status, the aggregate amount of “investments” owned and invested on a discretionary basis by such person can be either their fair market value on the most recent practicable date or the cost of such “investments,” provided that the same method must be used for all “investments.” However,

 

I. In the case of “commodity interests,” the amount of “investments” is the value of the initial margin or option premium deposited in connection with such “commodity interests”; and

 

II. In each case, there must be deducted from the amount of such “investments” the following amounts:

 

  A. The amount of any outstanding indebtedness incurred by the prospective Qualified Purchaser to acquire such “investments”; and

 

  B. In the case of a Family Company (i.e., any company that owns not less than $5 million in “investments” and that is owned directly or indirectly by or for two or more natural persons who are related as siblings or spouse (including former spouses), or direct lineal descendants by birth or adoption, spouses of such persons, the estates of such persons, or foundations, charitable organizations, or trusts established by or for the benefit of such persons), in addition to the amounts specified in paragraph II.A above, any outstanding indebtedness incurred by an owner of the Family Company to acquire the Family Company’s “investments.”
