The purchase price per Bond is $1,000, with a minimum purchase amount of $10,000. The Bonds may be purchased solely by subscribers described under “Plan of Distribution – Eligibility to Purchase Bonds” in the Offering Circular.
 
The Company will conduct closings on the 20th of each month, or, if the if the 20th is not a business day, the next succeeding business day, or the “closing dates,” and each, a “closing date,” until the offering termination, beginning with an initial closing on the 20th of the first month in which we have funds available to close. For all closings, subscription funds will be deposited into a Company bank or brokerage account. Once a subscription has been submitted and accepted by the Company, an investor will not have the right to request the return of its subscription payment prior to the next closing date. If subscriptions are received on a closing date and accepted by the Company prior to such closing, any such subscriptions will be closed on that closing date. If subscriptions are received on a closing date but not accepted by the Company prior to such closing, any such subscriptions will be closed on the next closing date. It is expected that settlement will occur on the same day as each closing date. On each closing date, offering proceeds for that closing will be disbursed to us and Bonds will be issued to investors, or the “Bondholders.” If the Company is dissolved or liquidated after the acceptance of a subscription, the respective subscription payment will be returned to the subscriber.

Any investor who elects this option must provide an e-mail address below. Please carefully read the following representations before consenting to receive documents electronically. If you check this box, you represent the following:
 
(a)
I acknowledge that access to the internet, email and the World Wide Web is required in order to access documents electronically. I may receive by email notification the availability of a document in electronic format. The notification e-mail will contain a web address (or hyperlink) where the document can be found. By entering this address into my web browser, I can view, download and print the document from my computer. I acknowledge that there may be costs associated with the electronic access, such as usage charges from my internet provider and telephone provider, and that these costs are my responsibility.
 
(b)
I acknowledge that documents distributed electronically may be provided in Adobe’s Portable Document Format (PDF). The Adobe Reader software is required to view documents in PDF. The reader software is available free of charge from Adobe’s web site at www.adobe.com. The Adobe Reader software must be correctly installed on my system before I will be able to view documents in PDF. Electronic delivery also involves risks related to system or network outage that could impair my timely receipt of or access to stockholder communications.
 
(c)
I acknowledge that I may receive at no cost from the Company a paper copy of any documents delivered electronically by calling my financial advisor.
 
(d)
I understand that if the e-mail notification is returned to the Company as “undeliverable,” a letter will be mailed to me with instructions on how to update my e-mail address to begin receiving communications via electronic delivery. I further understand that if the Company is unable to obtain a valid e-mail address for me, the Company will resume sending a paper copy of its filings by U.S. mail to my address of record.

7. Investor Eligibility Certifications
 
I understand that to purchase Bonds, I must either be an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the act, or I must limit my investment in the Bonds to a maximum of: (i) 10% of my net worth or annual income, whichever is greater, if I am a natural person; or (ii) 10% of my revenues or net assets, whichever is greater, for my most recently completed fiscal year, if I am a non-natural person.
 
I understand that if I am a natural person I should determine my net worth for purposes of these representations by calculating the difference between my total assets and total liabilities. I understand this calculation must exclude the value of my primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by my primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Bonds.
 
I hereby represent and warrant that I meet the qualifications to purchase Bonds because (please mark one):
 
I am a natural person, and the aggregate purchase price for the Bonds I am purchasing in the offering does not exceed 10% of my net worth or annual income, whichever is greater.
 
I am a non-natural person, and the aggregate purchase price for the Bonds I am purchasing in the offering does not exceed 10% of my revenues or net assets, whichever is greater, for my most recently completed fiscal year.
 
I am an accredited investor.
 
If you marked that you are an accredited investor, please complete Addendum A, attached hereto, and return it with this Subscription Agreement. If Addendum A is not received with this Subscription Agreement, your subscription will not be accepted.
 
Investor Acknowledgements and Representations

b.
I have received the Offering Circular.
 
c.
I am purchasing the Bonds for my own account.
 
d.
I agree that my rights and responsibilities relative to my ownership of the Bonds subscribed for in this offering shall be governed (i) by that certain Indenture by and between the Company and UMB Bank, N.A., as trustee, filed as an exhibit to the Offering Circular; and (ii) the Form of Bond filed as an exhibit to the Offering Circular.
 
e.
I hereby represent and warrant that I am not, and am not acting as an agent, representative, intermediary or nominee for any person identified on the list of blocked persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of Treasury. In addition, I have complied with all applicable U.S. laws, regulations, directives, and executive orders relating to anti-money laundering including but not limited to the following laws: (1) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56; and (2) Executive Order 13224 (Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism) of September 23, 2001.
 
By making the foregoing representations you have not waived any right of action you may have under federal or state securities law. Any such waiver would be unenforceable. The company will assert your representations as a defense in any subsequent litigation where such assertion would be relevant. This subscription agreement and all rights hereunder shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws.

8. Investor Signatures
 
Digital (“electronic”) signatures, often referred to as an “e-signature”, enable paperless contracts and help speed up business transactions. The 2001 E-Sign Act was meant to ease the adoption of electronic signatures.

You and the Company each hereby consents and agrees that electronically signing this Subscription Agreement constitutes your signature, acceptance and agreement as if actually signed by you in writing. Further, all parties agree that no certification authority or other third-party verification is necessary to validate any electronic signature; and that the lack of such certification or third-party verification will not in any way affect the enforceability of your signature or resulting contract between you and the Company.

If any such electronically sent communication fails to be received for any reason, including but not limited to such communications being diverted to the recipients spam filters by the recipients email service provider, or due to a recipient’s change of address, or due to technology issues by the recipients service provider, the parties agree that the burden of such failure to receive is on the recipient and not the sender, and that the sender is under no obligation to resend communications via any other means, including but not limited to postal service or overnight courier, and that such communications shall for all purposes, including legal and regulatory, be deemed to have been delivered and received. No physical, paper documents will be sent to you, and if you desire physical documents then you agree to be satisfied by directly and personally printing, at your own expense, the electronically sent communication(s) and maintaining such physical records in any manner or form that you desire.

Soliciting Dealer Agreement
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
The undersigned, Crescent Securities Group, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Managing Broker-Dealer”), has entered into an agreement (the “MBD Agreement”) with Red Oak Capital Intermediate Income Fund, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company (the “Company”), for the sale of up to 75,000 of bonds (the “Bonds”) to be issued by the Company, pursuant to which the Managing Broker-Dealer has agreed to use its best efforts to form and manage, as the Managing Broker-Dealer, a group of securities dealers (the “Selling Group Members”) for the purpose of soliciting offers for the purchase of the Bonds. The MBD Agreement is attached as Exhibit A. The terms of the Offering and the Bonds are set forth in the Company’s Offering Statement on Form 1-A POS filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 28, 2021, as amended (together with all exhibits thereto, the “Offering Statement”) and the Final Offering Circular dated , as may be supplemented (the “Offering Circular”). The Bonds will be offered during a period commencing on the date of the Offering Circular and continuing until the Offering Termination Date and all extensions thereof (as defined in the Offering Circular). Terms used but not otherwise defined in this Soliciting Dealer Agreement (this “Agreement”) have the same meanings as in the MBD Agreement.
 
You are invited to become a Selling Group Member and by your confirmation hereof you agree to act in such capacity and to use your best efforts, in accordance with the following terms and conditions, to find qualified Investors (the “Investors”) for the Bonds. By your acceptance of this Agreement, you will become one of the Selling Group Members and will be entitled to and subject to the indemnification and contribution provisions contained in the MBD Agreement, including the provisions of the MBD Agreement wherein the Selling Group Members severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Managing Broker-Dealer for certain actions.
 
1.
Selling Group Member Representations.
 
1.1 
You hereby confirm that you (i) are a member in good standing of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), (ii) are qualified and duly registered to act as a broker-dealer within all states in which you will sell the Bonds, (iii) are a broker-dealer duly registered with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and (iv) will maintain all such registrations and qualifications in good standing for the duration of your involvement in the Offering. You agree to immediately notify the Managing Broker-Dealer if you cease to be a member of FINRA in good standing.
 
1.2 
You hereby agree to solicit, as an independent contractor and not as the Managing Broker-Dealer's agent, or as an agent of the Company or its affiliates, persons acceptable to the Company to purchase the Bonds pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") in the form attached to the Offering Statement on Form 1-A, as amended (the "Offering Statement") of which the Offering Circular is a part and in accordance with the terms of the Offering Circular, and to diligently make inquiries as required by this Agreement, the Offering Circular or applicable law with respect to prospective Investors in order to ascertain whether a purchase of the securities is suitable for the Investor. You shall solicit the purchase of Bonds in a manner that complies with Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and the rules of FINRA applicable to public offerings. In accordance with the instructions set forth in the Subscription Agreement, all the Subscription Agreements and all funds received by you with respect to any Subscription Agreement shall be transmitted to the Managing Broker-Dealer by noon of the next business day following receipt thereof. No Subscription Agreement shall be effective unless and until accepted by the Company, it being understood that the Company may accept or reject any Investor in its sole discretion and that the Company may terminate the Offering at any time for any reason.
 
1.3 
You understand and agree that your compensation under this Agreement for the sale of Bonds is conditioned upon the Company's acceptance of sales by you, and that the failure to accept a purchase for Bonds shall relieve the Company, the Managing Broker-Dealer or any other party of any obligation to pay you for any services rendered by you in connection with the sale of Bonds under this Agreement or otherwise.
 
1.4 
You agree that before participating in the Offering, you will have reasonable grounds to believe based on information made available to you by the Managing Broker-Dealer and/or the Company through the Offering Circular, that all material facts are adequately and accurately disclosed in the Offering Circular and provide a basis for evaluating the Company and the Bonds.
 
1.5 
You agree not to execute any transaction in which an Investor invests in the Bonds in a discretionary account without prior written approval of the transaction by the Investor and the Managing Broker-Dealer.
 
1.6 
You agree to comply in all respects with the purchase procedures and plan of distribution set forth in the Offering Circular. Further, you agree that although you may receive due diligence and other information regarding the Offering from the Company in electronic form, you will not distribute to any prospective Investor or any other person any such material. All material distributions to prospective Investors shall only be in hard copy form.
 
 
 
 
1.7 
All Subscriptions solicited by you will be strictly subject to confirmation by the Managing Broker-Dealer and acceptance thereof by the Company.

The Managing Broker-Dealer also understands that the Company may provide you with certain supplemental sales material to be used by you in connection with the solicitation of purchases of the Bonds. If you elect to use such supplemental sales material, you agree that such material shall not be used in connection with the solicitation or purchase of the Bonds unless accompanied or preceded by the Offering Circular, as then currently in effect, and as it may be amended or supplemented in the future.
 
1.10 
The Managing Broker-Dealer shall have full authority to take such action as it may deem advisable with respect to all matters pertaining to the Offering. The Managing Broker-Dealer shall be under no liability to you except for lack of good faith and for obligations expressly assumed by it in this Agreement.

21. 
Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Programs. Each Selling Group Member’s acceptance of this Agreement constitutes a representation to the Managing Broker-Dealer that the Selling Group Member has established and implemented an anti-money laundering (“AML”) compliance program (“AML Program”), in accordance with FINRA Rule 3310 and Section 352 of the Money Laundering Abatement Act and Section 326 of the Patriot Act of 2001, which are reasonably expected to detect and cause reporting of suspicious transactions in connection with the sale of Bonds. In addition, the Selling Group Member represents that it has established and implemented a program (“OFAC Program”) for compliance with OFAC and will continue to maintain its OFAC Program during the term of this Agreement. Upon request by the Managing Broker-Dealer at any time, the Selling Group Member hereby agrees to (i) furnish a copy of its AML Program and OFAC Program to the Managing Broker-Dealer for review and (ii) furnish a copy of the findings and any remedial actions taken in connection with the Selling Group Member’s most recent independent testing of its AML Program and/or its OFAC Program.
 
 
 
 
The parties acknowledge that for the purposes of the FINRA rules the Investors who purchase Bonds through the Selling Group Member are “Customers” of the Selling Group Member and not the Managing Broker-Dealer. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Managing Broker-Dealer deems it prudent, the Selling Group Member shall cooperate with the Managing Broker-Dealer’s auditing and monitoring of the Selling Group Member’s AML Program and its OFAC Program by providing, upon request, information, records, data and exception reports, related to the Company’s Investors introduced to, and serviced by, the Selling Group Member (the “Customers”). Such documentation could include, among other things: (i) copies of Selling Group Member’s AML Program and its OFAC Program, (ii) documents maintained pursuant to the Selling Group Member’s AML Program and its OFAC Program related to the Customers, (iii) any suspicious activity reports filed related to the Customers, (iv) audits and any exception reports related to the Selling Group Member’s AML activities and (v) any other files maintained related to the Customers. In the event that such documents reflect, in the opinion of the Managing Broker-Dealer, a potential violation of the Managing Broker-Dealer’s obligations in respect of its AML or OFAC requirements, the Selling Group Member will permit the Managing Broker-Dealer to further inspect relevant books and records related to the Customers (with respect to the Offering) and/or the Selling Group Member’s compliance with AML or OFAC requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Selling Group Member shall not be required to provide to the Managing Broker-Dealer any documentation that, in the Selling Group Member’s reasonable judgment, would cause the Selling Group Member to lose the benefit of attorney-client privilege or other privilege which it may be entitled to assert relating to the discoverability of documents in any civil or criminal proceedings. The Selling Group Member hereby represents that it is currently in compliance with all AML rules and all OFAC requirements, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act. The Selling Group Member hereby agrees, upon request by the Managing Broker-Dealer to (i) provide an annual certification to the Managing Broker-Dealer that, as of the date of such certification (A) its AML Program and its OFAC Program are consistent with the AML Rules and OFAC requirements, (B) it has continued to implement its AML Program and its OFAC Program and (C) it is currently in compliance with all AML Rules and OFAC requirements, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and (ii) perform and carry out, on behalf of both the Managing Broker-Dealer and the Company, the Customer Identification Program requirements in accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and applicable SEC and Treasury Department Rules thereunder.
 
22. 
Due Diligence. Pursuant to the MBD Agreement, the Company will authorize a collection of information regarding the Offering (the "Due Diligence Information"), which collection the Company may amend and supplement from time to time, to be delivered by the Managing Broker-Dealer to the Selling Group Member (or their agents performing due diligence) in connection with its due diligence review of the Offering. In the event the Selling Group Member (or its agent performing due diligence) requests access to additional information or otherwise wishes to conduct additional due diligence regarding the Offering, the Company, the Company's sponsor or the sponsor's affiliates, the Company and the Managing Broker-Dealer will reasonably cooperate with the Selling Group Member to accommodate such request. All Due Diligence Information received by the Selling Group Member in connection with its due diligence review of the Offering is confidential and shall be maintained as confidential and not disclosed by the Selling Group Member, except to the extent such information is disclosed in the Offering Circular.

RE: Red Oak Capital Intermediate Income Fund, LLC – Bonds
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to you in connection with the preparation and filing by you of an Offering Statement on Form 1-A (File No. 024-11274) dated December 28, 2021 (as amended, the “Offering Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and Regulation A promulgated thereunder, with respect to the qualification of $75,000,000 of 6.0% senior secured bonds (the “Bonds”) of Red Oak Capital Intermediate Income Fund, LLC (the “Company”).
 
 
This opinion letter is being delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 17 of Form 1-A under the Securities Act.
 
 
In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have acted as counsel for the Company and have examined and relied upon originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Offering Statement, (ii) the Indenture between the Company, as obligor and UMB Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”) filed as Exhibit 3(a) to the Offering Statement (the “Indenture”), (iii) the form of Bond filed as Exhibit 3(c) to the Offering Statement, (iv) the preliminary offering circular contained within the Offering Statement, (v) the relevant Company filings with the Delaware Secretary of State, (vi) the Company Opinion Certificate and (vii) the operating agreements and such other documents and records of the Company and Red Oak Capital Participation Fund GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the Company's manager, certificates of public officials and representatives of the Company, resolutions and forms of resolutions and other documents and have examined such questions of law and have satisfied ourselves to such matters of fact, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth herein. We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, and the legal capacity of all natural persons. We have also assumed the conformity with the original documents of any copies thereof submitted to us for our examination and the authenticity of the originals of such documents.
 
 
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Bonds are duly and validly authorized for issuance and, upon the due execution, authentication and issuance of the Bonds as contemplated by the form of Indenture, the Offering Statement and the offering circular contained therein, and upon payment and delivery of the Bonds as contemplated by the Offering Statement, the Bonds will be: (i) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and (ii) valid and binding obligations of the Company.
 
 
The foregoing opinions are subject to: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of, or contribution to, a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy. We express no opinion concerning the enforceability of any waiver of rights or defenses with respect to stay, extension or usury laws, and we express no opinion with respect to whether acceleration of the Bonds may affect the collectability of any portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon.
 
 
 
 
We assume for purposes of this opinion that the Company will remain duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under Delaware law.
 
 
To the extent that the obligations of the Company under an Indenture may be dependent thereon, we assume for purposes of this opinion that the Trustee is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; that the Trustee is duly qualified to engage in the activities contemplated by the Indenture; that, when executed, the Indenture will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee and will constitute a legally valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with its terms; that the Trustee is in compliance, generally and with respect to acting as Trustee under the Indenture, with all applicable laws and regulations; and that the Trustee will have the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its obligations under the Indenture.
 
 
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Offering Statement and to the reference to our name under the heading “LEGAL MATTERS” in the Offering Statement.
 
 
 
Very truly yours,
 
/s/ KVCF
