Purchasers are required to electronically complete this Subscription Agreement for the desired investment amount. A Purchaser’s electronic signature, whether digital or encrypted, included in this Subscription Agreement is intended to authenticate this Subscription Agreement and to have the same force and effect as a manual signature. Electronic signature means any electronic symbol or process associated with a record and adopted by Purchaser with intent to sign such record.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the undersigned (“Purchaser”) hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase Limited Partnership Interests (“Limited Partnership Interests”) offered by Veloce Cap Fund 1 LP, a New Jersey limited partnership (the “Fund”), in the amount indicated above, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement, the Certificate of Formation (the “Certificate “), the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement (“Limited Partnership Agreement”) and Offering Circular, as amended (the “Offering Circular”).
(a) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that this subscription cannot be withdrawn, terminated, or revoked. Purchaser agrees to become a Limited Partner and to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Limited Partnership Agreement. This subscription shall be binding on the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the Purchaser. This subscription is not transferable or assignable by the Purchaser, except as expressly provided in the terms and conditions of the actual Limited Partnership Agreement.
(b) This subscription may be rejected as a whole or in part by the Fund in its sole and absolute discretion. If this subscription is rejected, the Purchaser’s funds shall be returned to the extent of such rejection. This subscription shall be binding on the Fund only upon its acceptance of the same.
(c) Neither the execution nor the acceptance of this Subscription Agreement constitutes the Purchaser as a limited partner, shareholder or secured creditor of the Fund. This is an agreement only to purchase the Limited Partnership Interests in the amount set forth above; and the Purchaser will become a Limited Partner (and not a shareholder or secured creditor) only after the Purchaser’s funds are duly transferred to the account of the Fund and the Limited Partnership Interests are issued thereupon to the Purchaser. Until such time, the Purchaser shall have only those rights as may be set forth in this Subscription Agreement.
(d) The offering of Limited Partnership Interests is described in the Offering Circular. Purchaser must read this Agreement, the Offering Circular (including exhibits attached thereof), and Limited Partnership Agreement.
(e) Once Purchaser makes a funding commitment to purchase Limited Partnership Interests, it is irrevocable until the Limited Partnership Interests are issued, the purchase is rejected by the Fund, or the Fund otherwise determines not to proceed with the transaction.
(f) The Purchaser’s rights and responsibilities will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement, the Offering Circular, the Certificate and Limited Partnership Agreement. If Purchaser is deemed an Accredited Investor, the Fund will rely upon the information provided in this Subscription Agreement to confirm that the Purchaser is an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act. If Purchaser is a non-accredited investor, the Fund will rely upon the information provided in this Subscription Agreement to confirm that the Purchaser is sophisticated and meets the non-accredited suitability standards further outlined below, that will allow the investor to purchase Limited Partnership Interests.
(g) Should the process from depositing an investor’s funds into the account of the Fund and acceptance as a Limited Partner take longer than Thirty (30) days, the Investor may request in writing to recover his, her or its investment funds. If, upon receipt of such request in writing, the Fund has not yet accepted the Investor as a Limited Partner, then the Fund may, in its sole and absolute discretion, return the Investor’s funds to the investor and revoke the Subscription Agreement within Ten (10) business days of receipt of such request from the Investor.

5. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) CHOICE OF LAWS: This Subscription Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without giving effect to its choice of laws rules.
(b) ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and may be amended only by written agreement between all parties.
(c) ARBITRATION: Either party may, at its sole election, require that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a Claim be final and binding arbitration pursuant to this section (this “Arbitration Provision”). The arbitration shall be conducted in the State of New Jersey in the Bergen county area. As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Claim” shall include any past, present, or future claim, dispute, or controversy involving Purchaser (or persons claiming through or connected with Purchaser), on the one hand, and the Fund, on the other hand, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from any of the foregoing, including (except to the extent provided otherwise in the last sentence of sub-section (iv) below) the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, any part thereof, or the entire Agreement. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort (intentional or otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or otherwise. Claims include (without limitation) matters arising as initial claims, counter-claims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise. This Arbitration Provision applies to claims under the U.S. federal securities laws and to all claims that that are related to the Fund, including with respect to this offering, our holdings, the common shares, our ongoing operations and the management of our investments, among other matters. The scope of this Arbitration Provision is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Arbitration Provision applies to federal securities law claims, the Purchaser cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
(i) The party initiating arbitration shall do so with the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) or JAMS. The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, the rules and policies of the administrator selected, except to the extent the rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision or any countervailing law. In the case of a conflict between the rules and policies of the administrator and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall control, subject to countervailing law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the rules and policies of the administrator apply.
(ii) If the Fund elects arbitration, the Fund shall pay all the administrator’s filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). If Purchaser elects arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in accordance with the rules of the administrator selected, or in accordance with countervailing law if contrary to the administrator’s rules. The Fund shall pay the administrator’s hearing fees for one full day of arbitration hearings. Fees for hearings that exceed one day will be paid by the party requesting the hearing, unless the administrator’s rules or applicable law require otherwise, or Purchaser requests that the Fund pay them and the Fund agree to do so. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorney’s fees, except as otherwise provided by law. If a statute gives Purchaser the right to recover any of these fees, these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein.
(iii) Within Thirty (30) days of a final award by the arbitrator, a party may appeal the award for reconsideration by a three-arbitrator panel selected according to the rules of the arbitrator administrator. In the event of such an appeal, an opposing party may cross-appeal within Thirty (30) days after notice of the appeal. The panel will reconsider de novo all aspects of the initial award that are appealed. Costs and conduct of any appeal shall be governed by this Arbitration Provision and the administrator’s rules, in the same way as the initial arbitration proceeding. Any award by the individual arbitrator that is not subject to appeal, and any panel award on appeal, shall be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
7
| SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT |
(iv) The Fund agrees not to invoke the Fund’s right to arbitrate an individual Claim that you may bring in Small Claims Court or an equivalent court, if any, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR CLAIMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT.
(d) TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT: If this subscription is rejected by the Fund, then this Subscription Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and effect and no party shall have any rights against any other party hereunder and the Fund shall promptly return the funds delivered with this Subscription Agreement.
(e) TAXES. The discussion of the federal income tax considerations arising from investment in the Fund, as set forth in the Offering Circular, is general in nature and the federal income tax considerations to the Purchaser of investment in the Limited Partnership Interests will depend on individual circumstances. The Offering Circular does not discuss state income tax considerations, which may apply to all or substantially all Purchasers. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Code or the Regulations under the Code will not be amended in a manner adverse to the interests of the Purchaser or the Fund.
(f) DULY AUTHORIZED. If the Purchaser is a limited liability company, partnership, trust, or other entity, the individual(s) signing in its name is(are) duly authorized to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement on behalf of such entity, and the purchase of the Limited Partnership Interests by such entity will not violate any law or agreement by which it is bound.
(g) SUCCESSORS. The representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be binding on the Purchaser’s successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives and shall inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the Fund and its General Partner and officers. If the Purchaser is more than one person, the obligations of all of them shall be joint and several, and the representations and warranties contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and to be binding upon, each such person and his heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.
(h) ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE. This Subscription Agreement may be hereby executed and delivered in counterparts by electronic signature with the same effect as if the parties executing the counterparts had all executed one counterpart. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including .pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., clicking “I agree” or use of xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. Each party consents and agrees that its electronic signature meets the requirements of an original signature as if actually signed by such party in writing. Further, each party agrees that no certification authority or other third-party verification is necessary to the enforceability of its signature. No party hereto may raise the use of an electronic signature as a defense to the enforcement of this Agreement or any amendment or other document executed in compliance with this Section.
