and conditions of the Disclosure Statement (the “Notes Offering”), as supplemented in accordance with the Subscription Supplement Agreement referenced herein. Subscriber acknowledges and understands that the Company will amend the Notes Offering and require subscribers to the Notes to confirm their subscription in accordance with the Subscription Supplement Agreement of even date herewith by and among Subscriber, the Company, and Granite Falls Energy, LLC (“Subscription Supplement Agreement”).
b. Access to Information. Subscriber represents that it or its representatives has been given access to full and complete information regarding the Company and has had an opportunity to obtain, and has received, any and all additional information deemed necessary by Subscriber in order to form a decision regarding an investment in the Company, and Subscriber has utilized such access to Subscriber’s satisfaction. As a result, Subscriber believes it has sufficient knowledge about the business, management and financial affairs of the Company, the Company’s ethanol plant and subsidiaries and the operations thereof, the planned used of proceeds of this subscription, the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement, the Notes Offering described in the Disclosure Statement, the planned amendment and confirmation procedures with respect to the Notes Offering, the Articles and Member Control Agreement, the terms and conditions of the purchase of Units contemplated hereby, and any other relevant matters, to make an informed investment decision regarding an investment in the Company and the purchase of Units contemplated hereby.
.
c. High Degree of Risk. Subscriber realizes that an investment in the Units involves a high degree of risk, including, but not limited to, the risks of receiving no return on the investment and of losing Subscriber's entire investment in the Company.
d. Ability to Bear the Risk. Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of investment in the Units, including the total loss of such investment.
e. No Market for Units; Restrictions on Transfer. Subscriber realizes that (i) there are substantial restrictions on the transfer of the Units, both under the Securities Act and State Laws, as well as under the Articles and the Member Control Agreement; (ii) there is not currently, and it is unlikely that in the future there will exist, a public market for the Units; and (iii) accordingly, for the above and other reasons, Subscriber may not be able to liquidate an investment in the Units for an indefinite period. Subscriber realizes that the Units have not been registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or applicable state securities laws (the “State Laws”). Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Units may be sold only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act and State Laws, or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that such registration is not required, and in accordance with the Articles and the Member Control Agreement.
f. Suitability. Subscriber believes that the investment in the Units is suitable for the undersigned based upon Subscriber's investment objectives and financial needs, and Subscriber has adequate means for providing for his, her or its current financial needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity of investment with respect to the Units. Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he, she or it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Units or Subscriber has obtained, to the extent Subscriber deems necessary, his, her or its own professional advice with respect to the risks inherent in the investment in the Units, and the suitability of the investment in the Units in light of Subscriber's financial condition and investment needs.
g. Investment Intent. Subscriber has been advised that the Units are not being registered under the Securities Act or the relevant State Laws but are being offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from such laws and that the Company's reliance upon such exemptions is predicated in part on Subscriber's representations to it as contained herein. Subscriber represents and warrants that the Units are being

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
purchased for Subscriber's own account and for Subscriber's investment and without the intention of reselling or redistributing the same, that Subscriber has made no agreement with others regarding any of the Units and that Subscriber's financial condition is such that it is not likely that it will be necessary to dispose of any of the Units in the foreseeable future. Subscriber is aware that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a purchase of the Units with an intent to resell by reason of any foreseeable specific contingency or anticipated change in market values, or any change in the condition of the Company, or in connection with a contemplated liquidation or settlement of any loan obtained for the acquisition of the Units and for which the Units were pledged as security, would represent an intent inconsistent with the representations set forth above. Subscriber further represents and agrees that if, contrary to the foregoing stated intentions, Subscriber should later desire to dispose of or transfer any of the Units in any manner, he, she or it shall not do so without first obtaining the consent of the Company as required by the Company’s Articles and the Member Control Agreement and (i) the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such proposed disposition or transfer lawfully may be made without the registration of the Units pursuant to the Securities Act and applicable State Laws, or (ii) such registration (it being expressly understood that the Company shall not have any obligation to register such Units for such purpose).
h. Brokers or Finders. Subscriber has not taken any action that will cause the Company to incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for brokerage or finders' fees or agents' commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Subscription Agreement.
i. Tax Liability. Subscriber has reviewed with Subscriber's own tax advisors the tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and has and will rely solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Subscriber understands that Subscriber (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Subscriber's own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.
j. Residency. Subscriber specifically represents and warrants to the Company that Subscriber is a resident of the State of Minnesota (please complete) and is not a resident of any other State.
