THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT is made as of this ___ day of ____________, 2023, by and between ILS FIXED HORIZON LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Company”) and the undersigned subscriber (the “Subscriber”).
The Company desires to obtain financing by selling investment Debt Units (“Units”) at one thousand ($1,000) dollars per Unit, with a minimum purchase of twenty-five (25) Units, or twenty-five thousand ($25,000) dollars. The Manager may waive the minimum subscription requirement, in its sole and absolute discretion. Subscriber desires to purchase the number of Units set forth on the signature page hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
1. SUBSCRIPTION FOR UNITS AND REPRESENTATIONS BY THE SUBSCRIBER
1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase the number of Units for the purchase price set forth upon the signature page hereof, and the Company agrees to sell such Units to the Subscriber at a purchase price equal to such amount. The purchase price is payable by wire transfer, ACH, or check, on terms set forth in Section 2.3.
The Subscriber understands that the sale of Debt Units to Subscriber is contingent upon the acceptance in writing of the Subscription by the Company. The Subscriber understands that pending such acceptance, the check will be deposited in an escrow account and the other documents the Subscriber furnished will be held in trust by the Company.
1.2 The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of Units involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for persons of adequate financial means who have no need for liquidity in this investment in that (i) he/she may not be able to liquidate his investment in the event of an emergency; (ii) transferability is extremely limited; and (iii) he/she could sustain a complete loss of his/her entire investment.
1.3 The Subscriber represents that (i) he/she is competent to understand and does understand the nature of the investment, and (ii) he/she is able to bear the economic risk of this investment.
1.4 Please check the appropriate space(s):

____ | The Subscriber represents that he/she is a “non-accredited investor” that understands this investment and further represents that the Capital Contribution listed on this Subscription Agreement does not represent more than ten (10%) percent of either their (i) personal net worth or (ii) annual income, whichever is greater.

The definition of an “accredited investor” includes the following:

(In calculating net worth, you may include the value of your personal property and real estate, excluding the value of your principal residence, but including cash, short-term investments, stock and securities. Your inclusion of personal property and real estate, other than your principal residence, should be based on the fair market value of such property less debt secured by such property.) |
· | An individual whose net income was in excess of two hundred thousand ($200,000) dollars in each of the two most recent years, or whose joint income with spouse was in excess of three hundred ($300,000) dollars in each of those years, and who reasonably expects his net income to reach such level in the current year. |
· | An IRA, Xxxxx or similar benefit plan for which investments are made solely by persons that are accredited investors. |
· | Any entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors. |
· | Any entity not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, owning investments in excess of $5,000,000; |
· | Any natural person holding in good standing a Series 7, Series 65, or Series 82 license, or any other professional certification or designation or credential from an accredited educational institution that the Securities and Exchange Commission has designated as qualifying an individual for accredited investor status; |
· | Any “family office,” as defined in Rule 202(a)(11)(G)-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 with assets under management in excess of $5,000,000 that is not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered and whose prospective investment is directed by a person who has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such family office is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment; or |

1.5 This is a Tier 2 Regulation A Offering. The SEC has set the following purchasing limits for non-accredited investors investing in a Tier 2 Regulation A offering:
· | Non-accredited investors may not purchase more than ten (10%) percent of the greater of annual income or net worth (for natural persons); or |
· | Non-accredited investors may not purchase more than ten (10%) percent of the greater of annual revenue, or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons). |

The Subscriber has read and understands the Private Placement Memorandum, this Subscription Agreement, the Qualification Profile and all other related documents.
1.10 The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to his/her or their net worth and the investment in the Units will not cause such overall commitment to be excessive.
1.11 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that this offering of Units has not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") because of the Company's representations that this is intended to be a nonpublic offering pursuant to Sections 4(a)(2) and 4(a)(6) of the Securities Act and Regulation A ("Regulation A") promulgated thereunder. The Subscriber represents that the Units are being purchased for his/her/their own account, for investment and not for distribution or resale to others. The Subscriber agrees that he/she will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Units unless they are registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
1.12 The Subscriber agrees that the Company may, if it desires, permit the transfer of the Units by the Subscriber out of his/her name only when his/her request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale, transfer or disposition does not result in a violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state or province "blue sky" laws (collectively, "Securities Laws"). The Subscriber agrees to hold the Company and its directors, officers and controlling persons and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns harmless and to indemnify them against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by them as a result of any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Units by the undersigned Subscriber in violation of any Securities Laws or any misrepresentation herein.
1.13 The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Company is relying on the Subscriber's representations contained in this Agreement in determining whether to accept this Subscription.

1.14 The Subscriber represents and warrants that all representations made by the Subscriber hereunder are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of execution hereof, and Subscriber further agrees that until the closing on the Units subscribed for he/she shall inform the Company immediately of any changes in any of the representations provided by the Subscriber hereunder.

1.15 The Subscriber is aware of the following:
(a) The Company has limited financial or operating history;
(b) There are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Units; the Units will not be, and investors in the Company have no rights to require that the Units be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any other state or federal act, and any such registration is unlikely;
(c) Financial projections and forecasts, if any, in the materials provided by the Company are only management's estimates based on assumptions therein stated. There is no assurance or guarantee that any such projections and forecasts will be met;
