COLONIAL CALIFORNIA INSURED MUNICIPAL FUND
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
This Agreement made this 25th day of October, 1999 by and between Colonial
California Insured Municipal Fund, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Fund"),
and Colonial Management Associates, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the
"Subscriber");
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Fund has been formed for the purposes of carrying on business
as a closed-end non-diversified management investment company; and
WHEREAS, the Subscriber has been selected by the Fund's Board of Trustees
to serve as investment adviser to the Fund; and
WHEREAS, the Subscriber wishes to subscribe for and purchase, and the Fund
wishes to sell to the Subscriber, 6,667 common shares of beneficial interest for
a purchase price of $15.00 per share;
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:
1. The Subscriber subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Fund
6,667 common shares of beneficial interest for a purchase price of $15.00 per
share. Subscriber agrees to make payment for these shares at such time as demand
for payment may be made by an officer of the Fund.
2. The Fund agrees to issue and sell said shares to Subscriber promptly
upon its receipt of the purchase price.
3. To induce the Fund to accept its subscription and issue the shares
subscribed for, the Subscriber represents that it is informed as follows:
(a) That the shares being subscribed for have not been and will not
be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act");
(b) That the shares will be sold by the Fund in reliance on an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act;
(c) That the Fund's reliance upon an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act is predicated in part on the representations
and agreements contained in this Subscription Agreement;
2
(d) That when issued, the shares will be "restricted securities" as
defined in paragraph (a)(3) of Rule 144 of the General Rules and Regulations
under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") and cannot be sold or transferred by
Subscriber unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or
unless an exemption from such registration is available;
(e) That there do not appear to be any exemptions from the
registration provisions of the Securities Act available to the Subscriber for
resale of the shares. In the future, certain exemptions may possibly become
available, including an exemption for limited sales including an exemption for
limited sales in accordance with the conditions of Rule 144.
The Subscriber understands that a primary purpose of the information
acknowledged in subparagraphs (a) through (e) above is to put it on notice as to
restrictions on the transferability of the shares.
4. To further induce the Fund to accept its subscription and issue the
shares subscribed for, the Subscriber:
(a) Represents and warrants that the shares subscribed for are being
and will be acquired for investment for its own account and not on behalf of any
other person or persons and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with,
any public distribution thereof; and
(b) Agrees that any certificates representing the shares subscribed
for may bear a legend substantially in the following form:
The shares represented by this certificate have been acquired for
investment and have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933 or any other federal or state securities law. These shares may
not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred unless
registered under said securities laws or unless some exemption from
registration is available.
5. This Subscription Agreement and all of its provisions shall be binding
upon the legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of the parties
hereto.
6. The Fund's Declaration of Trust is on file with the Secretary of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This Agreement is executed on behalf of the Fund
by the Fund's officers as officers and not individually and the obligations
imposed upon the Fund by this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Fund's
Trustees, officers or shareholders individually but are binding only upon the
assets and property of the Fund.
