SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

1.        Subscription.  Rackwise, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), is offering (the “Offering”) up to an aggregate of $9,346,703 in face or principal amount of its Series A 12% Secured Three Year Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) at an aggregate purchase price of $8,505,500 to the subscribers set forth on the signature page hereof (each a “Purchaser”, and collectively, the “Purchaser”). The Notes are being offered at a purchase price equal to 91% of the principal or face amount of the Notes. Each of the undersigned Purchasers, intending to be legally bound, hereby irrevocably agrees to purchase from the Company, the number of Notes in the aggregate principal amount and at the aggregate purchase price set forth on the signature page hereof. The form of the Notes is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

 

(a)                Maturity:  The Notes mature three years from the date of issuance.

 

(b)               Conversion:  The Notes are convertible at any time prior to maturity, in whole or in part, at the Purchaser’s sole option, into units of the Company’s securities (the “Units”). The first $6,046,703 in principal amount of Notes offered and sold are convertible into Units at a conversion price of $0.50 (the “Conversion Price”) per Unit (collectively, the “Initial Units”). Each Initial Unit shall consist of one share (the “Initial Unit Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and one five year common stock purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.625 per share (the “Initial Unit Warrants”). The remaining principal amount of Notes to be offered and sold are convertible into Units (the “Subsequent Units”) at a conversion price of $0.75 per Subsequent Unit. Each Subsequent Unit shall consist of one share of Common Stock (the “Subsequent Unit Shares”, and together with the Initial Unit Shares, the “Unit Shares”) and one five year common stock purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.94 per share (the “Subsequent Unit Warrants”). The shares underlying the Initial Unit Warrants are hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Unit Warrant Shares” and the shares underlying the Subsequent Unit Warrants are hereinafter referred to as the “Subsequent Unit Warrant Shares” (together with the Initial Unit Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”). While the Notes remain outstanding, the Conversion prices for the Units are subject to weighted average anti-dilution and proportional adjustments subject to customary exceptions including issuances as provided in the Notes.

 

(c)                Denominations:  The Notes shall be issued in face amount denominations of $1,000 or such larger denominations as mutually agreed to by the Company and each Purchaser.

 

(d)               Interest:  The Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable quarterly in arrears. During the first year of the term of the Notes, until such time that the Company achieves positive cash flow for a minimum of two successive fiscal quarters, at the sole option of the Company interest payable in any quarter may be paid-in-kind and added to the balance of the Notes quarterly in arrears.

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Notes) the rate of interest payable on the Notes shall be increased to a rate of 18% per annum. Payments of interest at the 18% default rate are not payable in kind.

 

 
 

 

(e)                Timing of Note Purchases.  It is intended that the Purchasers shall purchase an initial tranche of $3,296,703 in principal amount of Notes on May 7, 2014 and additional tranches, each in the amount of at least $250,000, on the 15th day of each month thereafter (the “Subsequent Funding Date”). The Company may, in its sole discretion, determine to accept lesser amounts from the Purchasers on each Subsequent Funding Date. If, following the purchase of the final tranche by the Purchasers, the Company requests Purchasers to make additional purchases of the Notes, the Purchasers may do so on the same terms provided for herein. The Purchasers intend to purchase Notes on the dates and in the amounts indicated but is under no obligation to do so.

 

(f)                Security:  Subject to the Permitted Liens set forth in Schedule 1(f) hereto, the Notes will be secured by a security interest in and lien on all now owned or hereafter acquired assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, pursuant to a Security Agreement between the Company and the Purchasers in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B.

 

(g)                Rank:  Except for the Permitted Liens set forth in Schedule 1(f) hereto, the Notes will rank senior in priority to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company.

 

(h)               Registration:  Upon the Purchasers having advanced a minimum of $2,500,000 in funding through the conversion of Company debt or otherwise, the Purchasers shall have demand registration rights with respect to the Unit Shares and Warrant Shares. Thereunder, the Purchasers owning a majority of the Unit Shares and Warrant Shares may, on a one time basis, request that the Company, within 90 days of such request, file a registration statement on Form S-1 or such other form as applicable (the “Registration Statement”) to register the shares comprising the Unit Shares and the Warrant Shares. Such Registration Statement will attempt to register all of the Unit Shares and Warrant Shares issuable upon an assumed full conversion of $9,346,703 in principal amount of the Notes, including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Registration Statement may also include shares issuable in an ongoing private placement of Company securities and/or securities that were issued in a private placement of Company securities which closed within 90 days of the achievement of the Threshold Amount. The Company will use its best efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective within 90 days of the initial filing date thereof and to keep such Registration Statement effective until the earlier of (x) one (1) year from the effective date of the Registration Statement, (y) until all of the Unit Shares and Warrant Shares can be sold without restriction under Rule 144 or (z) the date when all of the Unit Shares and Warrant Shares have been sold (the “Effectiveness Period”). Thereafter, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw such Registration Statement and the Purchasers shall have no further right to offer or sell any of the Unit Shares and Warrant Shares registered for resale thereon pursuant to the respective Registration Statement (or any prospectus relating thereto).

 

(i)                 Purchaser’s Option:  If the Purchasers purchase an aggregate of $6,046,703 in principal amount of Notes under and in accordance with the terms of one or more of these Subscription Agreements (this “Agreement”), the Purchasers will be given a six month option, commencing upon the completion of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional $5,000,000 in principal amount of Notes on the same terms and condition as the Notes purchased hereunder except that the Unit conversion price shall be $1.20 per Unit and the Unit Warrants shall have an exercise price of $1.50 per share.

 

(j)                 Use of Proceeds:  The net cash proceeds of the Offering shall be used by the Company as general working capital.

(k)               Prepayment:  Subject to each Purchaser’s right to convert the Notes, upon 20 days prior written notice by the Company to the Purchaser, the Company may, commencing one year after the respective issuance date for the Notes, prepay the Notes prior to maturity.

 

(l)                 Transaction Fees:  In connection with and at the time of each closing of Note subscriptions hereunder, each Purchaser or its assigns shall be entitled to a cash structuring fee equal to 7.5% of the aggregate amount of capital provided by such Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Notes. In addition, such Purchaser will receive units (the “Purchaser Fee Units”), with each Purchaser Fee Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one five-year warrant (the “Unit Warrants”) exercisable for the purchase of one share of Common Stock. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to receive Purchase Fee Units at the rate of 0.075 Purchase Fee Units for every $0.50 advanced by such Purchaser hereunder in connection with the purchase of the first $6,046,703 in principal amount of Notes. This will equate to 150 Purchase Fee Units for every $1,000 invested. The first 825,375 Purchase Fee Units, which is the number of Purchase Fee Units issuable against the first $6,046,703 in principal amount of Notes sold at a purchase price of $5,502,500, shall contain Unit Warrants exercisable at a price of $0.625 per share. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to receive Purchase Fee Units at the rate of $0.075 Purchase Fee Units for every $0.75 advanced by such Purchaser hereunder in connection with the purchase of the remaining $3,300,000 in principal amount of Notes sold at a purchase price of $3,003,000. This will equate to 100 Purchase Fee Units for each $1,000 in principal amount of Notes purchased at a purchase price of $910. The remaining Purchase Fee Units shall contain Unit Warrants exercisable at a price of $0.94 per share. The Company does not have the cash assets to pay the $225,000 cash structuring fee due on the initial purchase of $3,296,703 in principal amount of Notes. The Company’s obligation to pay such cash structuring fee shall remain as a debt obligation on the Company’s books. If the Company is unable to pay the cash structuring fee by October 31, 2014, the Purchasers shall have the option to convert the cash structuring fee into 450,000 common shares of the Company and 16,452 five year share purchase warrants each exercisable to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.01 per share.

 

(m)             Expense Reimbursement:  The Company shall reimburse Purchasers for all reasonable out of pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers relating to the purchase of the Notes and related transactions including, but not limited to, diligence investigation costs and document preparation and negotiation up to a maximum of $25,000 in the aggregate for all Purchasers. Purchasers will be responsible for the payment of any Finder Fees or commission applicable to the offer and sale of the Notes.

 

(n)               Exclusivity:  At such time that $1,000,000 or more has been provided to the Company through Note subscriptions of such Purchaser, such Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to purchase the Notes on the terms provided herein until the following Subsequent Funding Date. Such exclusive right is conditioned upon Purchaser subscribing for Notes in the amount and at the times contemplated by this Subscription Agreement. During the exclusivity period, the Company shall not directly or indirectly solicit, encourage, initiate or provide any information to any person, entity or group, other than the Purchasers, concerning the Notes or related matters that would conflict with, or preclude, consummation of the purchase of the Notes.

(o)               Events of Default:  The Notes contain such customary events of default as are set forth therein.

 

(p)               Right of First Refusal:  At such time that $3,000,000 or more has been provided to the Company through Note subscriptions of a Purchaser, such Purchaser shall have the right, for a period of three years from the completion of the Offering, to participate in subsequent (i) debt financings by the Company, based on such Purchaser’s pro rata ownership of the Notes, and (ii) equity financings by the Company, based on such Purchaser’s pro rata equity ownership of Common Stock, on a fully-diluted basis.

 

(q)               Purchaser:  For purposes of this Agreement, Purchaser or Purchasers shall mean Rackwise Funding II LLC, a Colorado limited liability corporation formed by Black Diamond Financial Group, LLC and assigns of Rackwise Funding II LLC.

 

(r)                 Right to Appoint Board Members.  At such time that $3,000,000 or more has been provided to the Company through Note subscriptions of the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall have the right to appoint two new members to the Company’s board of directors which, following such appointments, shall consist of seven members.

 

2.        Offering.  This subscription is submitted to you in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions described in this Subscription Agreement, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, including all attachments, schedules and exhibits hereto, relating to the Offering. Subject to Section 1, no minimum amount of Notes must be sold to close and complete the Offering.

 

3.        Payment.  Except with respect to the initial $3,296,703 in Note subscriptions involving a debt conversion, the Purchaser will send directly a check payable to, or will make a wire transfer payment to the Company, in the full amount of the purchase price of the Notes being subscribed for. Wire transfer instructions are set forth under the heading “To subscribe for Notes in the private offering of Rackwise, Inc.” Together with a check for, or wire transfer of, the full Purchase Price, the Purchaser is delivering a completed and executed Signature Page to this Subscription Agreement, together with the Purchaser’s completed Accredited Investor Certification, Investor Profile and Anti-Money Laundering Information Form, in the form attached to this Subscription Agreement, and any other documents, agreements, supplements and additions thereto required by the Company (collectively, the “Subscription Documents”).

 

4.        Deposit of Funds.  The initial closing of the purchase and sale of the Notes (the “Closing”) shall take place as soon as practicable following the execution by the Purchaser of this Subscription Agreement. There will be multiple Closings until such time as all the Notes offered pursuant to this Subscription Agreement are sold (the date of any such Closing is hereinafter referred to as a “Closing Date”). Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement, on each Closing Date, (i) the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company or to persons as otherwise directed by the Company the full Purchase Price for the Notes to be issued and sold by the Company to the Purchaser on such Closing Date, and (ii) the Company shall promptly thereafter deliver directly to the Purchaser the Notes, in the full principal amount being purchased at such Closing, duly executed on behalf of the Company. The last of such Closings will occur when all of the Notes offered hereby have been sold or the Company determines to terminate the Offering (i) due to the failure of Purchaser to meet the minimum monthly funding requirements (a “Funding Failure”) or (ii) as the result of the mutual agreement of the Company and the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company must give Purchaser a minimum of 15 days prior written notice (the “Notice Period”) of its determination to terminate the Offering due to a Funding Failure. During the Notice Period, Purchaser shall have the right to cure such Funding Failure. Each Closing shall occur on a Closing Date at the offices of Gottbetter & Partners, LLP, 488 Madison Avenue, 12th Floor, New York, New York 10022 (or such other place as is mutually agreed to by the Company and the Purchaser).

The Company shall have no obligation hereunder until the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser an executed copy of this Subscription Agreement. If a subscription is rejected in whole or the Offering is terminated, all funds received from the Purchaser will be returned without interest or offset, and this Subscription Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. If this subscription is rejected in part, the funds for the rejected portion of this subscription will be returned without interest or offset, and this Subscription Agreement will continue in full force and effect to the extent this subscription was accepted.

(i)                 The Purchaser, together with its Advisers, if any, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable it to utilize the information made available to it in connection with the Offering to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes, the Units, the Unit Warrants, the Unit Shares and the Warrants Shares and the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto;

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH (I) REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IF AVAILABLE, (II) ANY OTHER EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IF AVAILABLE, OR (III) UNDER AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, AND, IN EACH CASE, IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. IN ADDITION, HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE HEREOF, MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT. RELIANCE ON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WILL REQUIRE THE HOLDER TO PROVIDE THE COMPANY WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION MUST BE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY.

Stop transfer instructions will be placed with the transfer agent with respect to the Unit Shares and Warrants Shares and on the Company’s books with respect to the Notes, Units and Unit Warrants. The Company has agreed that purchasers of the Notes will have, with respect to the shares of Common Stock comprising the Unit Shares and Warrant Shares demand registration rights, the terms of which are discussed in Section 1(h).

(n)               The Purchaser is aware that an investment in the Notes is high risk, involving a number of very significant risks and has carefully read and considered the matters set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2014 (File No. 000-54519) and, in particular, acknowledges that the Company has a limited operating history, has had operating losses since inception, and is engaged in a highly competitive business;

 

(o)               The Purchaser meets the requirements of at least one of the suitability standards for an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D and as set forth on the Accredited Investor Certification contained herein.

 

(p)               The Purchaser (i) if a natural person, represents that the Purchaser has reached the age of 21 and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof; (ii) if a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company or partnership, or association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity, represents that such entity was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Notes, such entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and will not result in a violation of state law or its charter or other organizational documents, such entity has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to purchase and hold the securities underlying the Notes, the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action, this Subscription Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such entity and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity; or (iii) if executing this Subscription Agreement in a representative or fiduciary capacity, represents that it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement in such capacity and on behalf of the subscribing individual, ward, partnership, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity for whom the Purchaser is executing this Subscription Agreement, and such individual, partnership, ward, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity has full right and power to perform pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and make an investment in the Company, and represents that this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity.

(q)        The Purchaser and its Advisors have been furnished with all documents and materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and all such other information that the Purchaser and/or its Advisors have requested and deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its securities. The Purchaser and the Advisers, if any, have had the opportunity to obtain any additional information, to the extent the Company has such information in its possession or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information contained herein and all documents received or reviewed in connection with the purchase of the Units and have had the opportunity to have representatives of the Company provide them with such additional information regarding the terms and conditions of this particular investment and the financial condition, results of operations, business of the Company deemed relevant by the Purchaser or the Advisers, including the annual reports, quarterly reports, current reports, registration statements and other information filed by the Company with the SEC (see www.sec.gov), and all such requested information, to the extent the Company had such information in its possession or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, has been provided to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser and the Advisers;

 

(r)        Any information which the Purchaser has heretofore furnished or is furnishing herewith to the Company is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company in determining the availability of an exemption from registration under federal and state securities laws in connection with the offering of the Notes. The Purchaser further represents and warrants that it will notify and supply corrective information to the Company immediately upon the occurrence of any change therein occurring prior to the Company’s issuance of the Notes;

 

(s)        The Purchaser has significant prior investment experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities. The Purchaser is knowledgeable about investment considerations in development-stage companies with limited operating histories. The Purchaser has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur. The Purchaser’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of the Purchaser’s net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Units will not cause such commitment to become excessive. The investment is a suitable one for the Purchaser;

 

8
 

 

(t)        The Purchaser is satisfied that the Purchaser has received adequate information with respect to all matters which it or the Advisers, if any, consider material to its decision to make this investment;

 

(u)        The Purchaser acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections included in this Subscription Agreement were prepared by the Company in good faith but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by the Company and should not be relied upon;

 

(v)        No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Purchaser or the Advisers, if any, in connection with the Offering which are in any way inconsistent with the information contained herein;

 

(w)        Within five (5) days after receipt of a request from the Company, the Purchaser will provide such information and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and ordinances to which the Company is subject;

 

(x)        THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. RELIANCE ON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WILL REQUIRE THE HOLDER TO PROVIDE THE COMPANY WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION MUST BE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY. THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN RECOMMENDED, APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE MEMORANDUM OR THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL;

 

The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company was, until September 27, 2012, a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company (that is, the Securities) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after the Company (a) is no longer a shell company; and (b) has filed current “Form 10 information“ (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the Commission reflecting that it is no longer a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports. As a result, the restrictive legends on certificates for the Notes and the securities underlying the Notes cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale meeting the foregoing requirements or pursuant to an effective registration statement.

(y)        In making an investment decision investors must rely on their own examination of the Company and the terms of the Offering, including the merits and risks involved. The Purchaser should be aware that it will be required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period of time.

 

(z)        In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Units, the Purchaser has read and is making the representations set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement.

 

(aa)         The Purchaser should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac> before making the following representations. The Purchaser represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Offering were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac>. In addition, the programs administered by OFAC (the “OFAC Programs”) prohibit dealing with individuals1 or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or entities appear on the OFAC lists;

 

(bb)        To the best of the Purchaser’s knowledge, none of: (1) the Purchaser; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Purchaser; (3) if the Purchaser is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Purchaser; or (4) any person for whom the Purchaser is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a country, territory, individual or entity named on an OFAC list, or a person or entity prohibited under the OFAC Programs. Please be advised that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Purchaser agrees to promptly notify the Company should the Purchaser become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Purchaser, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Purchaser, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations. The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Purchaser, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Purchaser if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any of the Company’s other service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs;

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS

 

The USA PATRIOT Act

 

The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs.

 

To help you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act.

 

What is money laundering?

 

Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.

 

How big is the problem and why is it important?

 

The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year.

 

What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering?

 

Under rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with such laws. As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you.
