7.                                      Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  The Purchaser further represents, warrants and covenants (as applicable) to the Fund and the General Partner as of the date that this Subscription Agreement is signed by the Purchaser, as of each date on which the Purchaser’s Subscription Amount is admitted to the Fund as specified below (as and to the extent specified below) that:

 

3

 

7.1                               Single Legal Entity.  Unless otherwise disclosed to the General Partner in writing, the Purchaser is a single legal entity and will, as a result, be regarded as a single legal entity in the Fund and the sole beneficial and record owner of the Interests under the Securities Act, the Investment Company Act, the Exchange Act and the laws of the jurisdictions in which the Purchaser is constituted.

 

7.2                               Purchase for Investment.  The Purchaser is not acquiring the Interest with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of all or any part of such Interest and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.  The Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, Transfer all or any part of such Interest (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of all or any part of such Interest) except in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.  The Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement, or arrangement with any person to transfer the Interests to any third party. The Purchaser understands that the Purchaser must bear the economic risk of the Purchaser’s investment in an Interest for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the Interests generally cannot be sold other than through a privately negotiated transaction.

 

7.3                               Evaluation of and Ability to Bear Risks.  The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business affairs that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing, and other considerations relating to, the Interest to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, and the Purchaser has not relied in connection with the Purchaser’s purchase of an Interest upon any representations, warranties or agreements other than those set forth in this Subscription Agreement, the Partnership Agreement and the Purchaser’s Side letter. The Purchaser has evaluated the risks involved in investing in the Interest and has determined that the Interest is a suitable investment for the Purchaser. The aggregate amount of the investments the Purchaser has in, and the Purchaser’s commitments to, all similar investments that are illiquid is reasonable in relation to the Purchaser’s net worth, both before and after the subscription for and purchase of the Interest pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. The Purchaser’s financial situation is such that the Purchaser can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Interest for an indefinite period of time, and the Purchaser can afford to suffer the complete loss of the Purchaser’s Interest and Commitment.

 

7.4                               Risk Factors and Conflicts of Interest.  The Purchaser has carefully read and understands the items described under “Risk Factors” section and “Certain Investment Structuring, Legal, Tax and Other Considerations” section, including “Conflicts of Interest”, set forth in Appendix C, and the manner in which profits and losses will be distributed in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.  The Purchaser confirms that (i) it is aware that an investment in the Fund involves substantial risks and has determined that an investment in an Interest is a suitable investment for it, and (ii) it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits of, and it is able to bear the economic risk of (including a complete loss thereto), its investment in the Fund.

 

7.5                               Compliance with Laws.  The Purchaser is in compliance with the legal requirements applicable to it in the jurisdiction in which it was established and/or is resident and the Interest has not been offered or promoted to it in violation of any securities laws applicable to it. The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement and the Partnership Agreement (and the Purchaser’s Side letter), the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the performance of the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder and thereunder do not and will not conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under, any provision of any certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles of association, by-laws, trust agreement, partnership agreement or other organizational or governing instrument applicable to the Purchaser, or any agreement or other instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s properties are bound, or any permit, franchise, judgment, decree, statute, order, rule or regulation applicable to the Purchaser or to the Purchaser’s business or properties.

7.6                               No General Solicitation.  The Purchaser was not offered the opportunity to subscribe for an Interest (or otherwise invest) in the Fund by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising, such as media advertising, public seminars or pursuant to a generally accessible website.  None of the General Partner, the Advisor, or any person acting on their behalf (or on behalf of the Fund) offered to sell the Purchaser any Interest by means of general solicitation.

 

7.7                               Access to Information.  The Purchaser has either consulted its own investment advisor, attorney or accountant about the investment and proposed purchase of the Interest and its suitability to the Purchaser, or chosen not to do so, despite the recommendation of that course of action by the General Partner.  Any special acknowledgement set forth below with respect to any statement in Appendix C shall not be deemed to limit the generality of this representation and warranty.

 

The Purchaser has been furnished with a copy of the Partnership Agreement.  The Purchaser has reviewed such document and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the purchase of an Interest, including the risks set forth in “Risk Factors” section and “Certain Investment Structuring, Legal, Tax and Other Considerations” section of Appendix C and the effect of the default and indemnification provisions of the Partnership Agreement.  The Purchaser has been provided an opportunity to ask questions of, and the Purchaser has received answers thereto satisfactory to the Purchaser from, the Fund and its representatives regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Interests, and the Purchaser has obtained any and all additional information requested by the Purchaser of the Fund and its representatives to verify the accuracy of all information furnished to the Purchaser regarding the offering of the Interests.  The Purchaser is purchasing an Interest relying solely on the information contained in the Partnership Agreement, this Subscription Agreement, the Purchaser’s Side letter and legal opinion (if any) provided to it in determining to make its investment in the Fund, and is not relying on any other oral or written statement, representation, warranty or guarantee with respect to the offering of Interests by the Fund, any members of the Sponsor Group, any placement agent or any other representative, agent or affiliate of any of them (and none of such persons have made any representation to the Purchaser regarding the legality of its investment in the Interest under applicable legal investment or similar laws or regulations).

7.9                               Unregistered Offering.  The Purchaser understands that the Interests have not been approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or other regulatory authority in any jurisdiction, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon the merits of this offering or the adequacy of the offering materials.

The Purchaser represents and warrants that neither the Purchaser nor any person controlling or controlled by it (including its officers and directors) nor any of its beneficial owners, nor any person for whom the Purchaser is acting as agent or nominee in connection with the acquisition of an Interest, (i) appears on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List of OFAC, in the Annex to United States Executive Order 132224 — Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism, or on the United Kingdom HM Treasury consolidated list of financial sanctions targets, (ii) is a “foreign shell bank” within the meaning of the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. §5311 et seq.), as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, (iii) is otherwise a “Prohibited Person” (as defined in Appendix A-1) under the laws of the United States, (iv) identified as a terrorist organization on any relevant lists maintained by governmental authorities, or (v) is the target of any sanction, regulation or law promulgated by OFAC, the United Kingdom HM Treasury or any other governmental authority (such sanctions, regulations and laws, together with any supplement or amendment thereto, the “Sanctions Laws”) such that entering into this Subscription Agreement or the Partnership Agreement or the performance of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby would contravene such Sanctions Laws.  The Purchaser further represents that it does not know or have any reason to suspect that (A) the monies used to fund its investment in the Fund have been or will be derived from or related to any illegal activities, including, but not limited to, money laundering activities and (B) the proceeds from its investment in the Fund will be used to finance any illegal activities.  The Purchaser understands and agrees that, by law, the General Partner may be obligated to “freeze” its account in the Fund, by prohibiting additional investments from it, declining any withdrawal requests and/or segregating the assets in the account or any distributions relating thereto in compliance with applicable governmental regulations, and the General Partner may be required to report such action and to disclose the Purchaser’s identity to OFAC or any government authorities with jurisdiction.

7.14                        Default Provisions.  The Purchaser understands that it will be subject to the default provisions set forth in the Partnership Agreement in the event the Purchaser fails to make Capital Contributions as required by the Partnership Agreement.

 

7.15                        Other Activities of the General Partner.  The Purchaser understands that the General Partner and its affiliates will receive substantial compensation in connection with the Fund irrespective of the success of its operation and, to the extent permitted by the Partnership Agreement and applicable law, 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 Fund.  Subject to the restrictions contained in the Partnership Agreement and the Purchaser’s Side Letter, the Purchaser 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 Purchaser will have no interest in such activities except as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.

 

7.16                        Politically Exposed Person.  Unless otherwise disclosed in Appendix A, the Purchaser represents and warrants that neither it nor, so far as known to it, any individual referred to in Section B7 or D3 (as applicable) of Appendix B is an individual who is a “Politically Exposed Person” (as defined in Appendix A-1).

The Purchaser agrees to complete and execute an updated, complete, accurate and valid Form W-9 or Form W-8, as applicable, on or before the date that the previously submitted form expires or becomes obsolete or incorrect.  In addition, the Purchaser covenants that, if admitted as a Limited Partner, it also will provide, and cause its direct and indirect owners or beneficiaries to provide, any information, documentation, and representations as the Fund, the General Partner or any affiliate thereof may from time to time request (including, without limitation, information with respect to the Purchaser’s identity, citizenship, residency, tax status, taxable year end, business, control or ownership) so as to permit the Fund, the General Partner or any affiliate thereof to avoid withholding taxes in any jurisdiction or to comply with any applicable legal, regulatory or tax requirements (including any information reporting, disclosure or similar requirements), including pursuant to any provision of FATCA, or Article 63 Notifications under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan, and any guidance with respect thereto. The Purchaser shall promptly inform the General Partner of any change in such information, documentation or representations. The Purchaser agrees that any such information, documentation and representations shall be true, correct, and complete in all material respects and may be disclosed as reasonably necessary or advisable to avoid such withholding taxes or to comply with any such requirements.  In the event that the Purchaser fails to promptly provide the reasonably requested information, documentation and representations, the Purchaser understands that the Fund or the General Partner may require such Purchaser to indemnify the Fund, the General Partner and the Other Purchasers for any direct liabilities (including taxes, interest and penalties) solely arising out of such failure. The Purchaser hereby indemnifies the General Partner and the Fund for any FATCA-related loss, cost, expenses, damage, claims and/or demands (including, but not limited to, any withholding tax, penalties or interest suffered by the Fund and/or the General Partner) which the General Partner and/or the Fund may incur solely as a result of any fraudulent or felonious action or inaction (directly or indirectly) of the Purchaser resulting in a material adverse effect on the Fund and/or the General Partner; and this indemnification shall survive the Purchaser’s death or dissolution or disposition of its Interests.  The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no claim against the Fund, or its agents, for any form of damages or liability as a result of actions taken or remedies pursued by or on behalf of the Fund in order to comply with FATCA; provided, that any such damages or liability is not attributable to any fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or reckless disregard of duties under or material breach of the Partnership Agreement (as applicable) by the Fund or its agents.  By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser’s Side Letter, waives any provision under the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction that would, in the absence of such waiver, prevent or inhibit the Fund’s compliance with applicable law as described in this paragraph, including (but not limited to) preventing (i) the Purchaser from providing any requested information or documentation, or (ii) the disclosure by the Fund or its agents of the provided information or documentation to applicable governmental or regulatory authorities.  The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Fund and the Advisor may take such action as each of them considers necessary in accordance with applicable law in relation to the Purchaser’s holding to ensure that any withholding tax payable by the Fund, and any related costs, interest, penalties and other losses and liabilities suffered by the Fund, the administrator, or any other investor, or any agent, delegate, employee, director, officer or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons, solely arising from the Purchaser’s failure to provide any requested documentation or other information to the Fund, is reasonably economically borne by the Purchaser.

7.19                        No Separate Counsel.  With regard to the tax, legal, regulatory and other economic considerations related to its investment, the Purchaser has only relied on the advice of, or has only consulted with, its own professional advisers.  The Purchaser understands that Xxxxxxx, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP and Walkers (Hong Kong) act as counsels (the “Counsels”) to the General Partner and/or certain of their affiliates and, in connection with this offering of Interests and subsequent advice to the General Partner, the Counsels will not be representing investors of the Fund (including the Purchaser) and no independent counsel has been retained to represent investors in the Fund.

(ii)                                  the Purchaser has obtained all appropriate consents, approvals and/or authorisation to process and transfer such personal data lawfully and in accordance with the Data Protection Laws, including in relation to any personal data that is or may be provided to the General Partner, any Service Provider or any of their affiliates for the purposes specified in the Privacy Statement; and

 

(iii)                               there is no prohibition or restriction which would prevent or restrict:  (A) the Purchaser from disclosing or transferring such personal data to the General Partner, any Service Provider and/or any of their Affiliates; (B) the General Partner, any Service Provider and/or any of their Affiliates from lawfully disclosing or transferring such personal data to the General Partner, any Service Provider and/or any of their Affiliates, or to any such person’s employees, officers, agents, delegates, sub-processors, sub-contractors, tax, legal and other advisors, auditors, accountants, administrators, brokers, depositaries, custodians, investors and/or potential investors, placement agents, vendors or purchasers of investments, banks or other financial institutions or finance providers, registrars, tax authorities and/or other competent regulatory or governmental authorities or bodies, or to any of the aforementioned persons’ service providers or advisors, in each case for the purposes specified in the Privacy Statement; or (C) the General Partner, any Service Provider, any of their respective Affiliates or any of the other persons referred to in paragraph sub-clause (B) above from processing such personal data for the purposes specified in the Privacy Statement.

(d)                                 The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that in relation to this Subscription Agreement, personal data may be transferred or otherwise processed to entities located outside of the EEA.  To the extent that these jurisdictions do not ensure an adequate level of protection of personal data, such transfer of personal data shall be made in compliance with the Data Protection Laws, including, where applicable, subject to appropriate safeguards or based on one of the derogations set out under Article 49 GDPR.

 

(e)                                  The Purchaser is hereby notified that the Purchaser and/or any data subject in relation to which the Purchaser has provided personal data have certain rights in relation to the processing of their personal data that they may wish to exercise as set out under the Data Protection Laws, including but not limited to the right to rectify, restrict the use of, request erasure of, or object to processing of, the Purchaser’s or their personal data, or withdraw the Purchaser’s or their consent to the processing and/or transfer of such personal data, in each case in accordance with the Data Protection Laws.  The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that in the event that any data subject in relation to which the Purchaser has provided personal data to the General Partner, any Service Provider or any of their Affiliates exercises any such rights, and without prejudice to each party complying with such request in compliance with the Data Protection Laws, if the General Partner reasonably determines that the exercising of such rights could materially adversely affect the Fund or any investor in the Fund, then this may result in the General Partner no longer being able to accept the Purchaser’s subscription under this Subscription Agreement, and therefore the General Partner shall be entitled, upon written consent of the Purchaser (where such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to withdraw the Purchaser completely from, or transfer the Purchaser’s Interest, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement and this Subscription Agreement.

 

18.                               Joint and Several Obligations.  If the Purchaser consists of more than one person, this Subscription Agreement shall consist of the joint and several obligation of all such persons.

 

19.                               Suspension of Distributions.  The General Partner shall, by written notice to the Purchaser, have the power and authority to suspend any distribution rights that the Purchaser may possess with respect to the Interest if: (a) the Purchaser is identified as (i) a person appearing on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List of OFAC, (ii) a person named in the Annex to United States Executive Order 132224 — Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism, as amended from time to time; or (iii) a person that is known by the General Partner as being affiliated with any person, government, country or entity as described in (i) or (ii) above; (b) the General Partner is so ordered by a court or government authority; (c) the General Partner reasonably deems it necessary to do so in order to comply with  any applicable anti-money laundering or other regulations or conventions applicable to the General Partner, the Fund or its service providers; or (d) pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement.

22.                               Counterparts.  This Subscription Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
