INSTRUCTIONS TO INVESTORS & SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
Please read carefully the final prospectus, as amended and supplemented through the date hereof, relating to the applicable offering(s) and all exhibits thereto before deciding to subscribe. Each offering is limited to investors who certify that they meet all of the qualifications set forth in the applicable final prospectus (each, an “Investor”). If you meet these qualifications and desire to make an investment in one of the offerings described herein, then please complete, execute and deliver the entire subscription agreement (as completed and signed) to the address provided below. Investors in Alabama, Arkansas, Maryland, Massachusetts and Tennessee may not use this multi-offering subscription agreement to subscribe to any offering described herein but instead should refer to the subscription agreement for each offering.
With the assistance of your broker-dealer, you should consider your suitability for an investment within the context of your own investment objectives, risk tolerance, financial capabilities and liquidity needs. You may decide to make an independent investigation before finalizing an investment decision with your broker. Also, you are encouraged to consult with your financial advisor in addition to any attorney, accountant or other business or tax advisor you have retained to assist you regarding your evaluation of the risks and merits of the proposed investment. If you have any questions about completing this subscription agreement, please call ICON Capital, LLC, Subscription Processing Desk, at (000) 000-0000.
PRE-ESCROW BREAK
Until the applicable offering has raised the minimum offering amount set out in its final prospectus, your broker-dealer or registered investment adviser should MAIL properly completed and executed ORIGINAL documents, along with your check payable to the applicable entity as set forth below to ICON Capital, LLC at the following address:
Investment | Make checks payable to: | For Regular Mail | For Overnight Deliveries |

ICON Oil & Gas Fund-A L.P. | UMB Bank, N.A., Escrow Agent for ICON O&G Fund-A |
Upon receipt of a signed subscription agreement, verification of your investment qualifications, and acceptance of your subscription by the relevant entity (which reserves the right to accept or reject a subscription for any reason whatsoever), such entity will execute the subscription agreement and notify you of its receipt and acceptance. In no event may a subscription for an investment be accepted until at least five (5) business days after the date the subscriber receives the final prospectus relating to that offering. Each entity may accept or reject any subscription in whole or in part for a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt of the subscription agreement and any other subscription documents requested by it, verification of your investment qualifications and payment in full. Any subscription not accepted within fifteen (15) days of receipt will be deemed rejected. If rejected, all funds will be returned to subscribers without deduction for any expenses within ten business days from the date the subscription is rejected.
Important Note: In all cases, the person or entity actually making the investment decision should complete and sign the subscription agreement. For example, if the investor making the investment is a retirement plan for which investments are directed or made by a third party trustee, then that third party trustee must complete the subscription agreement rather than the beneficiaries under the retirement plan. This also applies to trusts, custodial accounts and similar arrangements. You must list your principal place of residence rather than your office or other address on the signature page to the subscription agreement so that the relevant entity can evaluate compliance with appropriate securities laws. If you want correspondence to be sent to an address other than your principal residence, please provide such mailing address in “Section 2. — Investor Information” on the signature page to the subscription agreement.
POST-ESCROW BREAK
Once the applicable offering has raised the applicable minimum offering amount, your broker-dealer or registered investment adviser should MAIL properly completed and executed ORIGINAL documents, along with your check payable to the applicable entity as set out below to ICON Capital, LLC at the following address:

The Investor signing below, under penalties of perjury, certifies that (i) the number shown on this subscription agreement is its correct taxpayer identification number (or it is waiting for a number to be issued to it) and (ii) it is not subject to backup withholding either because (A) it is exempt from backup withholding, (B) it has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that it is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (C) the IRS has notified it that it is no longer subject to backup withholding, and (iii) it is a U.S. person for federal tax purposes (including a U.S. resident alien).
YOU MUST CROSS OUT CLAUSE (ii) IN THIS CERTIFICATION AND THE “SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING” BOX IN SECTION 2 SHOULD BE CHECKED IF THE INVESTOR HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BY THE IRS THAT IT IS CURRENTLY SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING BECAUSE IT HAS FAILED TO REPORT ALL INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS ON ITS TAX RETURN.

You understand that you will receive a confirmation of your purchase, subject to acceptance by the applicable Issuer, within 15 days from the date your subscription is received, and that the sale of offered securities pursuant to this subscription agreement will not be effective until at least five business days after the date you have received a final prospectus.
By signing below, you also acknowledge that you have been advised that the assignability and transferability of the offered securities is restricted and governed by the terms of the relevant prospectus; there are risks associated with an investment in the offered securities and you should rely only on the information contained in the relevant prospectus and not on any other information or representations from other sources; and you should not invest in the offered securities unless you have an adequate means of providing for your current needs and personal contingencies and have no need for liquidity in this investment.
We are required by law to obtain, verify and record certain personal information from you or persons on your behalf in order to establish the account. Required information includes name, date of birth, permanent residential address and social security/taxpayer identification number. We may also ask to see other identifying documents. If you do not provide the information, we may not be able to open your account. By signing the subscription agreement, you agree to provide this information and confirm that this information is true and correct. You further agree that we may discuss your personal information and your investment in the offered securities at any time with your then current financial advisor. If we are unable to verify your identity, or that of another person(s) authorized to act on your behalf, or if we believe we have identified potentially criminal or other illegal activity, we reserve the right to take action as we deem appropriate which may include closing your account.
By signing below, you also acknowledge that you do not expect to be able to sell your offered securities regardless of how we perform. We do not intend to list the offered securities on any securities exchange for the foreseeable future, and we do not expect a secondary market to develop in the offered securities. As a result, you should not expect to be able to resell the offered securities regardless of how we perform. If you are able to sell the offered securities, you will likely receive less than the purchase price that you paid. Accordingly, an investment in the offered securities is not suitable for investors that require short-term liquidity.
