APPENDIX A
DLP POSITIVE FIXED RETURNS FUND LLC
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
This Subscription Agreement (the "Agreement" or the "Subscription Agreement") is between DLP Positive Fixed Returns Fund LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Fund"), and the undersigned (referred to herein as "you", the "Subscriber", or the "Note Holder," except that in the case of a subscription for the account of one or more trusts or other entities, "you", the "Subscriber," or the "Note Holder" will refer to the trustee, fiduciary, or representative making the investment decision and executing this Agreement, of the trust or other entity, or both, as appropriate). The Fund and you hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Subscription Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Preliminary Offering Circular dated February 20, 2018 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the "Offering Circular") and the Fund's Operating Agreement dated March 6, 2017, as amended from time to time (the "Operating Agreement"), and all other documents that the Manager determines in its sole discretion to be necessary or desirable to be executed in connection with the Note Holder's investment, the "Documents"). The Documents, each and all, form the necessary documents for a purchase of a Note. The Note Holder shall execute and deliver to the Manager each and every Document required by the Manager to affect a purchase of a Note.
2. Purchase and Consideration.
The Note Holder hereby contracts to purchase a Note or Notes in the Principal amount set forth on Note Holder's signature page attached hereto. By signing this Subscription Agreement, the Note Holder agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Note as set forth therein. Each Subscription Agreement between the Fund and each respective Note Holder is a separate agreement, and the sale of each Note to each Note Holder is a separate sale.
3. Closing Procedures.
3.1 Tender; Acceptance. Note Holder shall tender Note Holder's signed Documents, along with payment in full of the amount indicated in those Documents, to the Fund. The Manager will determine whether to accept or reject the Note Holder's subscription on behalf of the Fund, in the Manager's sole discretion. The Fund will hold the tendered documents and consideration pending the Fund's review of such documents and determination of whether to accept or reject the Note Holder's subscription. If the Fund does not accept the Note Holder's subscription, then the Fund will so inform the Note Holder, and return Note Holder's funds.
3.2 Treatment of Funds Prior to Closing. Upon receipt of the Note Holder's funds, the Fund will immediately deposit those funds into its holding account (the "Subscription Account"), the date of which deposit shall be the "Deposit Date." Note Holder's purchase of a Note will only become effective as of the date (the "Transfer Date") upon which the Fund
accepts the Note Holder's subscription and transfers the Note Holder's funds into its Operating Account (the "Operating Account"). On the Transfer Date, the Fund will be obligated to transfer all the Note Holder's funds then in the Subscription Account into the Operating Account. Note Holder's funds earn no interest while held in the Subscription Account. Promptly following the Transfer Date, the Fund will provide the Note Holder with counter-executed Documents, all of which, including the Promissory Note, will be dated as of the Transfer Date. A Note Holder's obligation to purchase a Note in the full amount indicated in the Note Holder's subscription Documents and delivered to the Fund shall be irrevocable until 30 days after the Deposit Date. You acknowledge that you will not be a Note Holder until the Transfer Date.
If the Fund has not transferred the Note Holder's funds to its Operating Account within 30 days after the Deposit Date, the Fund shall inform the Note Holder, in writing, that it has not done so, and the Note Holder shall have 10 days to decide to either leave the money with the Fund in its Subscription Account or to have the Fund return the funds from the Subscription Account to the Note Holder. If a Note Holder chooses the reimbursement option, the Note Holder shall have no further right or obligation to use these funds to purchase a Note. If a Note Holder chooses to leave the remaining funds in the Subscription Account, the Note Holder's obligation to utilize such funds to purchase a Note (and the Company's right to transfer the funds to its Operating Account) shall once again be irrevocable for a period of 30 days, and the remaining funds shall again be treated for the next 30 days as detailed in this section. The Fund may refund amounts in the Subscription Account at any time in the Manager's sole discretion.
3.3 Closing of Note Purchases. Closing of purchases of the Notes shall occur upon the Transfer Date, with the close of each such sale being referred to as a Closing.
3.4 Conditions to Closing. Prior to Closing, you must deliver any Documents requested or required by the Manager. Closing will be effective upon the Fund's (i) acceptance of this Agreement by its countersignature on the signature page, and (ii) having deposited in the U.S. Mail, or overnight delivery service, the following items for delivery to Note Holder:
(a) A signed original Note executed by the Fund as of the Transfer Date; and
(b) A copy of this Subscription Agreement fully executed by the Fund as to the Note Holder; and
(C) A signed copy of the Intercreditor Security Agreement.
The Fund will deliver copies of the Note Holder's fully executed Documents to each Note Holder promptly upon the Closing of such Note Holder's purchase of a Note.
4. Termination of Offering. The Offering shall terminate on the date selected by the Manager in its sole discretion.
5. Minimum Investment. Each Note Holder must purchase a Note with a minimum Principal amount of $50,000 unless the Manager grants the Note Holder a waiver in the Manager's sole discretion.
6. Representations of the Fund. The Fund represents and warrants to each Note Holder as set forth below in this Section 6. All such representations and warranties to each Note Holder are as of the date of the applicable Closing as to such Note Holder, except as otherwise indicated:

6.3 Binding Obligations. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Fund and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Fund, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to limitations as to enforceability which might result from bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally).
6.4 Approvals. To the Fund's actual and current knowledge, no authorization, consent, license, or approval of, or filing (except for filings with the appropriate office of states as may be required by securities laws of the Note Holder's state of residence, or with the SEC if and as required by federal securities laws) or registration with, or notification to, any governmental body or regulatory or supervisory authority is required for the execution, delivery, or performance by the Fund of this Agreement.

8.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Note Holder is purchasing the Notes solely for Note Holder's own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or distribution and not with any present intention of selling, offering to sell, or otherwise disposing of or distributing the Notes, as the case may be, in any transaction other than a transaction complying with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. Note Holder also represents that the entire legal and beneficial interest of the Notes, as the case may be, is being purchased by Note Holder for Note Holder's account and is purchased neither in whole nor in part for any other Person. Note Holder maintains its domicile at the address shown in the signature page to this Agreement and Note Holder is not merely transient or temporarily resident there.
8.3 Accredited Investor. Note Holder has completed an Investor Suitability Statement (attached hereto) to document Note Holder's status as an Accredited Investor or "Non-Resident Alien."
Note Holder is an "accredited investor" as defined in Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (17 CFR 230.501(a)) for the reason identified in the Investor Suitability Statement. All information provided by Note Holder in connection with his, her or its purchase of the Note, including the Investor Suitability Statement is complete and accurate. Note Holder is aware that the Fund is relying upon the accuracy of that information in issuing the Note to the Note Holder. Note Holder also agrees to submit such additional materials, including without limitation financial statements, as the Fund reasonably requests to further confirm the information contained in this section.
8.4 Access to Information. Note Holder has had the opportunity to fully investigate the investment the Note Holder is making in the Notes, including, without implied limitation (i) the opportunity to discuss the Fund's business and financial condition, properties, operations, and prospects with the Fund's management and (ii) ask questions of principals of the Manager of the Fund, which questions, if any, were answered to Note Holder's satisfaction. Note Holder represents that he, she, or it has reviewed the Documents prepared by the Fund and has asked such questions as Note Holder may have concerning the Documents and received satisfactory answers to all such questions, if any, and has not relied on any matters outside those described in the Documents in making Note Holder's decision to purchase a Note or Notes. Note Holder also confirms his, her, or its understanding that (i) all projections of future performance by the Fund and representations or forward-looking statements concerning future performance by the Fund contained in the Documents generally, and in the Offering Circular specifically, are based on the Manager's good faith projections or belief, and do not represent commitments or warranties of any particular performance by the Fund, (ii) that no particular performance by the Fund can be assured, and (iii) that all such forward-looking statements must be regarded as highly speculative and uncertain. In making your decision to enter into this Agreement and purchase a Note, you have not relied on any representation, warranty, statement or information other than as set forth in the Offering Circular or Subscription Booklet.
8.5 Investment Experience; Ability to Sustain Loss. Note Holder has carefully reviewed this Subscription Agreement, the Offering Circular, and the other Documents, is experienced in investments comparable to those of the Fund, is able to fend for her, him, or itself, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that he, she, or it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Notes. Note Holder understands the risks associated with purchasing the Notes in particular. Note Holder is able to sustain the loss of Note Holder's entire investment of Principal in the Notes. If Note Holder is a legal entity, then Note Holder has not been organized for the purpose of purchasing or otherwise acquiring the Notes.
8.6 Understanding of Risks. Note Holder confirms his, her, or its understanding that the Fund and its proposed transactions are subject to all the risks inherent in transactions involving the Fund's business, investment objectives, multiple parties, and lenders. Note Holder has read and reviewed the Documents, including the Offering Circular, with such of Note Holder's attorneys, advisors, and agents as Note Holder has deemed necessary to make an informed decision about the purchase of the Notes.
8.7 Portfolio Interest Exception. Note Holder acknowledges and understands that although the Representative has attempted to prepare the Notes in a manner that non-U.S. Investors purchasing the Notes will qualify for the portfolio interest exception under U.S. tax law, neither the Fund nor the Representative can guarantee that the Notes will be treated that way by the IRS or other U.S. state taxing authorities. Non-U.S. Investors purchasing Notes must consult with their own legal and tax advisors concerning this issue and must not rely on any representations by the Fund, the Representative, or their respective Affiliates concerning tax treatment of the Notes under U.S. law.
8.8 No Conflict or Violation. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Subscription Agreement by Note Holder (i) does not require the consent, approval, or authorization of any governmental or regulatory authority, (ii) will not violate any applicable law, judgment, order, injunction, decree, rule, regulation, or ruling of any governmental authority applicable to Note Holder, and (iii) does not and will not result in the a breach of any terms, conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default under any charter, bylaws, trust agreement, partnership agreement, or other governing instrument applicable to the Note Holder or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement, note, or other evidence of indebtedness, or any lease or other agreement or understanding applicable to the Note Holder.
8.9 Anti-Money Laundering. Note Holder and each of Note Holder's beneficial owners is not an individual, government, country, or entity: (i) that is listed in the Annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of, United States Executive Order 13224, as issued on September 24, 2001 ("EO 13224") which list is published at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxx.xxxx); (ii) whose name appears on the most current U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") list of "Specifically Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons" (which list is published on the OFAC website, xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx); (iii) who commits, threatens to commit, or supports "terrorism," as that term is defined in EO 13224; or (iv) who is otherwise affiliated with any individual, government, country, or entity listed above (collectively, "Prohibited Persons"). Any funds used by Note Holder to invest in the Fund were not, directly or indirectly, derived from activities that may contravene U.S. federal and/or state laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws or that may contravene the anti-money laundering laws of any other jurisdiction. If Note Holder is an entity, Note Holder represents that Note Holder (i) has carried out thorough due diligence to establish the identities of Note Holder's beneficial owners and (ii) holds the evidence of such identities and status and will maintain such information for at least five years from the date of Note Holder's complete withdrawal from the Fund, and (iv) Note Holder will make available such information and any additional information that the Fund may require upon request that is required under applicable regulations. Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Manager may be required to verify Note Holder's identity and take other action under applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Note Holder agrees to promptly furnish such information as is necessary for the Manager to comply with these requirements. In the event of delay or failure by Note Holder to produce any information required for verification purposes, the Manager may refuse to accept Note Holder's subscription and funds until proper information has been provided and any funds received will be returned without interest to the account from which the moneys were originally debited.
8.10 Conflicts of Interest. Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Manager and its Affiliates will be subject to various conflicts of interest, many of which are disclosed in the Offering Circular, in carrying out the Manager's responsibilities to the Fund. Note Holder understands and acknowledges that the Manager will be acting as Representative of the Note Holders and that, in the Event of Default, the Representative may determine actions and act on behalf of the Note Holders in the Manager's sole discretion with only limited ability of the Note Holders to direct the Manager to take an action as the Representative. Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Fund may engage the Manager or Affiliates of the Manager to perform services for and on behalf of the Fund. Note Holder also understands and acknowledges that the Fund may, in connection with such services, pay to the Manager or such Affiliates brokerage commissions and fees, property management fees, and other compensation. Note Holder also understands and acknowledges that the Manager or such Affiliates may receive commissions or fees from unrelated third parties with whom the Fund is purchasing or selling a real property asset or engaging in another transaction. Note Holder understands and acknowledges that the foregoing, as well as the other transactions and relationships among the Fund, the Manager, and the Manager's Affiliates described in the Offering Circular, may present potential conflicts in interest as between the Fund and the Note Holders on one hand, and the Manager or such Affiliates on the other hand. By subscribing for a Note and executing the Documents, Note Holder waives any such conflicts, whether or not identified in the Offering Circular.
8.11 No Registration as Investment Adviser. Note Holder acknowledges and understands that neither the Manager nor any of its owners is currently registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act") (though the Manager may become an "exempt reporting adviser" with the SEC under the Advisers Act and, in that capacity, would be required to file periodic reports with the SEC). Note Holder will not be afforded the protections provided to clients of registered investment advisers under the Advisers Act. However, the Manager and/or any of its owners may register with the SEC as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act in the future. Note Holder agree that the Manager and the Fund provide in any electronic medium (including via email or website access) any disclosure or document that is required by applicable securities laws to be provided to Note Holder.
8.12 Privacy Notice. If Note Holder is a natural person, grantor trust or 401(k)/XXX investor, Note Holder acknowledges receipt of the notice included in the Overview to which this Agreement is attached regarding privacy of financial information under Regulation S-P, 17 C.F.R. 248.1 - 248.30 ("Regulation S-P"), adopted by the SEC pursuant to the privacy rules promulgated under Section 504 of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999, and agree that the Units are a financial product that Note Holder has requested and authorized. In accordance with Section 14 of Regulation S-P, Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Fund may disclose Note Holder's nonpublic personal information to the other Investors in the Fund, as well as to the Fund's accountants, attorneys and other service providers as necessary to effect, administer and enforce the Fund's and the Members' rights and obligations.
8.13 Securities Act Matters. As of the date hereof, Note Holder represents and warrants that it has not been subject to any event specified in Rule 506(d)(1) of the Securities Act or any proceeding or event that could result in any such disqualifying event ("Disqualifying Event") that would either require disclosure under the provisions of Rule 506(e) of the Securities Act or result in disqualification under Rule 506(d)(1) of the Fund's use of the exemption afforded pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act (the "Rule 506 Exemption"). Note Holder will immediately notify the Manager in writing if it becomes subject to a Disqualifying Event at any time after the date hereof. In the event that Note Holder becomes subject to a Disqualifying Event at any time after the date hereof, Note Holder agrees and covenants to use its best efforts to coordinate with the Manager (i) to provide documentation as requested by the Manager related to any such Disqualifying Event and (ii) to implement a remedy to address the Note Holder's changed circumstances such that the changed circumstances will not affect in any way the Fund's or its Affiliates' ongoing or future reliance on the Rule 506 Exemption. Note Holder acknowledges that, at the discretion of the Manager, such remedies may include, without limitation, the waiver of all or a portion of Note Holder's voting power in the Fund or Note Holder's withdrawal from the Fund through a transfer of the Note Holder's Note. Note Holder also acknowledges that the Manager may periodically request assurance that it has not become subject to a Disqualifying Event at any time after the date hereof, and Note Holder further acknowledges and agrees that the Manager shall understand and deem the failure by Note Holder to respond in writing to such requests to be an affirmation and restatement of the representations, warranties and covenants in this Section 8.13.
8.14 Accuracy of Information. All of the information provided by Note Holder in response to this Agreement (including in the Investor Suitability Statement) is true, correct, and complete in all respects.

4. ____ ____ You are an entity as to which all the equity owners are accredited investors. (If questions 1-3 above and question 5 below have been initialed "false, " then have each equity owner fill out a suitability questionnaire).
5. ____ ____ You are a trust, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000 and whose purchase is directed by a sophisticated person.
TRUE FALSE
6. ____ ____ You (i) were not formed, and (ii) are not being utilized, primarily for the purpose of making an investment in the Fund (and investment in this Fund does not exceed 40% of the aggregate capital committed to you by your partners, shareholders or others).
7. ____ ____ You are, or are acting on behalf of, (i) an employee benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, whether or not such plan is subject to ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or (iii) an entity which is deemed to hold the assets of any such employee benefit plan pursuant to 29 C.F.R. s. 2510.3-101. For example, a plan which is maintained by a foreign corporation, governmental entity or church, a Xxxxx plan covering no common-law employees and an individual retirement account are employee benefit plans within the meaning of Section 3 (3) of ERISA but generally are not subject to ERISA (collectively, "Non-ERISA Plans"). In general, a foreign or U.S. entity which is not an operating company and which is not publicly traded or registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act and in which 25% or more of the value of any class of equity interests is held by employee pension or welfare plans (including an entity which is deemed to hold the assets of any such plan), would be deemed to hold the assets of one or more employee benefit plans pursuant to 29 C.F.R. s. 2510.3-101. However, if only Non-ERISA Plans were invested in such an entity, the entity generally would not be subject to ERISA. For purposes of determining whether this 25% threshold has been met or exceeded, the value of any equity interests held by a person (other than such a plan or entity) who has discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets of the entity, or any person who provides investment advice for a fee (direct or indirect) with respect to such assets, or any affiliates of such person, is disregarded.
8. ____ ____ You are, or are acting on behalf of, such an employee benefit plan, that is subject to ERISA or a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, or are an entity deemed to hold the assets of any such plan or plans (i.e., you are subject to ERISA).
9. ____ ____ You are a U.S. pension trust or governmental plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code or a U.S. tax-exempt organization qualified under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code.
