1.

Receipt and Review of the Offering Summary Documents. The undersigned acknowledges that he has been furnished with and has carefully read the Second Amended & Restated Operating Agreement Of Adial Pharmaceuticals, L.L.C. dated February 3, 2014, (the “Operating Agreement”), the Company’s presentation, and the Company’s Q4-2016 and Q1-2017 quarterly update letters, which include audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, (the “Information”). The undersigned is aware that:

 

a.

The Company has a modest operating history, and there is no assurance that the Company’s operations will be profitable;

 

 

b.

There are substantial risks incident to the ownership of the Units, and such an investment is speculative and involves a high degree of risk of loss by the undersigned of his entire investment in the Company; and

 

c.

No federal or state agency has passed upon the Units or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness of this investment, and the Information may not have been filed with or reviewed by state securities administrators because of the limited nature of the offering.

 

2.

Subscription.

 

a.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the undersigned hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase Class B membership units (as defined in the Operating Agreement) in the Company (“Units”), at a Per Unit Purchase Price set forth in Section 13 below in the Aggregate Subscription Amount set forth in Section 13 below.

 

b.

An irrevocable offer to subscribe for the Units shall be deemed to be made only upon tender to the Company of the following:

 

(i)

this Subscription Agreement completed and executed by each Investor intending to own the Units subscribed for hereby;

 

(ii)

a completed and signed Member Signature Page to the Operating Agreement;

 

(iii)

a completed and signed IRS Form W-9; and

 

(iv)

any other information or documents that may be required by the Company to verify the accuracy of any statement or representation made herein.

 

3.

Acceptance by Company. The undersigned further agrees that this subscription is and shall be irrevocable. The undersigned understands that the Company will notify the undersigned whether his investment has been accepted and upon receipt of the notice of acceptance from the Company, the undersigned agrees that he/she will pay in full the Aggregate Subscription Amount within 10 business days.

 

The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to reject any subscription in its entirety or, in the alternative, to allocate to any prospective Investor a smaller amount of Units than he or she has subscribed to purchase. For clarity, the Company shall have the right to reduce, on a pro rata basis, or by lot, or by rejecting those subscriptions that were received last, or by any other means determined at the sole discretion of the Company, the amount of the Units to which the undersigned subscriber has subscribed. Furthermore, the Company shall not be required to accept subscriptions in the order received.

 

 

4.

Acknowledgments of the Investor. The undersigned acknowledges that the Company cannot guarantee that a new partnering transaction (including, without limitation, an option agreement for such a partnering transaction) with a drug development collaborator, with terms and conditions acceptable to the Company, will be consummated; that the Company or all or some of its assets will be acquired; that any of its products will be commercially viable or successful, or that the additional financing needed to develop and commercialize the Companies assets will materialize.

 

5.

Limitation on Transfer of the Units. The undersigned understands that an investment in the Company is an illiquid investment. In particular, the undersigned recognizes and agrees that:

 

a.

Due to restrictions more fully described below, and the lack of any market existing or to exist for the Units, investment in the Company will be illiquid.

 

b.

The undersigned must bear the economic risk of investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time since the Units have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any other jurisdictions. Therefore, the Units cannot be offered, sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated to any person unless such transfer is in full compliance with all applicable federal laws or the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdictions. The Company is not obligated to register the Units under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdictions.

 

c.

The Units will bear a restrictive legend prohibiting transfers thereof except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and will not be transferred of record except in compliance therewith. The Company may require that the proposed transferor provide the Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such transfer complies with applicable federal and state securities laws. Stop transfer instructions will be issued to the Company’s transfer agent, if any, with respect to the Units or, if the Company acts as its own transfer agent, the Company will make a notation on its records concerning these restrictions on transfer.

 

6.

Representations of the Investor. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

a.

The address set forth herein is his true and correct address, and he has no present intention of becoming a resident of any other state or jurisdiction.

 

b.

The undersigned is aware that any projections and estimates that may be included in the Information are subject to numerous factors beyond the Company’s control and are based on assumptions that may not prove correct. The undersigned understands that any projections and estimates in the Information are for purposes of illustration only and that there can be no assurance that actual results will correspond with the results contemplated in such projections and estimates.

 

 

c.

The undersigned has been furnished with the Information and has been given ample opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this investment and to obtain additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information set forth in the Information. The undersigned has not received or been furnished with any information, statement or representation, oral or written, which varies in any material way from the information presented and statements made in the Information.

 

d.

The undersigned is acquiring the Units for which he hereby subscribes as an investment for his own account, as principal, and without any intention of reselling or distributing all or any part of them, and he has no present intention, agreement or arrangement to divide his participation with others or to resell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Units unless and until the Units are registered or an exemption from such registration is available under federal securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdictions.

 

e.

The undersigned has adequate net worth and means of providing for his current and potential future needs and personal contingencies to sustain a complete loss of his investment in the Company and has no need for liquidity in his investment. The undersigned’s overall commitments to investments that are not readily marketable are not disproportionate to his net worth, and his investment in the Units will not cause such overall commitments to become excessive. The undersigned has carefully evaluated the financial risk associated with this investment and acknowledges that he is able to bear the loss of his entire investment.

 

f.

The undersigned has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that he is capable of evaluating the Company and the activities thereof and the risks and merits of investment in the Units and of making an informed investment decision thereon.

 

g.

The undersigned acknowledges that neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company offered to sell him the Units by means of any form of general/public solicitation or advertising, such as media advertising, or at any seminar or meeting where the attendees were invited by any form of general/public solicitation or advertising.

The undersigned further agrees and acknowledges that the foregoing provisions shall survive any sale or transfer, or attempted sale or transfer, of any of the undersigned’s Units not in accordance with this Agreement or the Company’s Operating Agreement and survive the undersigned’s death or dissolution.
