The Company will be deemed to have accepted this offer upon execution by it of the Receipt and Acceptance attached to this Subscription Agreement. This subscription is submitted to the Company subject to its acceptance and in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions described in, this Subscription Agreement, as well as the Offering Circular, and the Bond Agreement.

 

1. Investor Suitability. The Bonds may not be a suitable investment for you, and we advise you to consult your investment, tax and other professional financial advisors prior to purchasing the Bonds. The characteristics of the notes, including no maturity date, repayable at your demand, redeemable by us, interest rate, lack of collateral security or guarantee, and lack of liquidity, may not satisfy your investment objectives. The Bonds may not be a suitable investment for you based on your ability to withstand a loss of interest or principal or other aspects of your financial situation, including your income, net worth, financial needs, investment risk profile, return objectives, investment experience and other factors. Prior to purchasing any Bonds, you should consider your investment allocation with respect to the amount of your contemplated investment in the Bonds in relation to your other investment holdings and the diversity of those holdings.

 

 

 

 

2. Amount and Method of Payment. The purchase price for the Bonds shall be paid by wire transfer or tender of a certified check made payable to “BEQUEST BONDS I, INC.”

 

3. Acceptance of Subscription.

 

(a) The undersigned understands and agrees that the Company, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to accept or reject this or any other subscription for Bonds in whole or in part at any time prior to the Closing (as defined below) and that no subscriptions will be binding unless and until accepted by the Company.

 

(b) In the event that this subscription is rejected in whole or in part, the Company shall promptly return all or the applicable portion of the Purchase Price to the undersigned, as the case may be, and this Subscription Agreement shall thereafter have no force or effect except with respect to the portion, if any, of this subscription that is accepted by the Company.

 

4. Restrictions on Resale or Transfer. The Bonds have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred unless, in addition to the transfer restrictions set forth above, (i) such sale or transfer is subsequently registered thereunder; (ii) the undersigned shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) to the effect that the Bonds to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred without violating the registration provisions of the Securities Act and any applicable state statutes; (iii) such sale or transfer will not result in the loss of any license or regulatory approval or exemption that has been obtained by the Company, or result in a default under or breach or termination of any contract to which the Company is a party; and (iv) the Company is reimbursed upon request for its reasonable expenses in connection with the transfer.
