Section 1.1 — Subscription for Interests
The Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for exempted limited partnership interests (the "Interests") in Harrowgate Fund V Offshore SLP (the "Partnership"), a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership formed under the Exempted Limited Partnerships Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands. The Partnership is an offshore feeder vehicle that invests substantially all of its assets alongside Harrowgate Private Equity Fund V LP (the "Main Fund"), a Delaware limited partnership, and Harrowgate Fund V Parallel LP (the "Parallel Fund"), a Delaware limited partnership, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the investment program described in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated \\\\\\\\\\\\\\, 2025 (the "PPM") and the Exempted Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership dated as of \\\\\\\\\\\\\\, 2025 (the "Partnership Agreement"). The Main Fund, the Parallel Fund, and the Partnership are collectively referred to herein as the "Fund Complex."
The Partnership's general partner is Harrowgate Fund V GP LLC (the "General Partner"), a Delaware limited liability company whose sole member is Harrowgate Capital Partners LLC ("HCP" or the "Sponsor"). HCP serves as the investment manager of the Fund Complex and is responsible for the sourcing, evaluation, structuring, and monitoring of all investments made by or on behalf of the Partnership.
By executing this Agreement, the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that this subscription, once accepted by the General Partner, is irrevocable and may not be withdrawn, cancelled, or terminated by the Subscriber except as expressly provided in the Partnership Agreement.

The Subscriber hereby commits to contribute capital to the Partnership in the aggregate amount set forth below (the "Capital Commitment"):

The Capital Commitment is subject to the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions governing capital contributions, drawdowns, default remedies, distributions, and the term of the Partnership.
The minimum Capital Commitment for subscription in the Partnership is US$10,000,000, subject to waiver by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner may accept subscriptions for lesser amounts from time to time as it deems appropriate.
The aggregate capital commitments across the Fund Complex (including the Main Fund, the Parallel Fund, and the Partnership, together with any co-investment vehicles formed in connection therewith, but excluding committed capital attributable to the General Partner and its affiliates) are subject to a hard cap of US$2,000,000,000 (the "Hard Cap"). The General Partner may not accept aggregate commitments to the Fund Complex in excess of the Hard Cap without the consent of the advisory committee of the Main Fund as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Section 1.3 — Capital Calls
Capital contributions shall be drawn down by the General Partner in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, upon not less than ten (10) business days' prior written notice to the Subscriber (each such notice, a "Capital Call Notice").

All capital contributions shall be made in United States dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the custodian account maintained at Ridgeway Trust Company in accordance with the wire instructions set forth in the applicable Capital Call Notice and in Exhibit D attached hereto.
The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the General Partner may establish and utilize a subscription credit facility (a "Subscription Facility") with Ashford National Bank, N.A. (or any successor lender approved by the General Partner) to fund investments, pay Partnership expenses, and satisfy other obligations of the Partnership pending the drawdown of capital contributions from limited partners. The Subscriber's uncalled Capital Commitment may constitute a portion of the borrowing base under the Subscription Facility, and the Subscriber's obligation to fund capital contributions when called shall constitute a primary source of repayment for borrowings under the Subscription Facility. The Subscriber acknowledges that the use of the Subscription Facility may affect the calculation of internal rates of return and other performance metrics, and the Subscriber has reviewed the risk factors relating to the use of leverage and subscription credit facilities set forth in the PPM.
Section 1.4 — Acceptance
This subscription is subject to acceptance by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner may accept or reject this subscription in whole or in part and may, in its discretion, reduce the Subscriber's Capital Commitment without the consent of the Subscriber. The General Partner is not obligated to provide any reason for rejecting or reducing a subscription.
Upon acceptance of this subscription by the General Partner, the Subscriber shall be admitted as a limited partner of the Partnership and shall be bound by the Partnership Agreement and all other agreements, instruments, and documents executed in connection with the Subscriber's admission, including this Agreement and the Joinder attached hereto as Exhibit C.
The Subscriber's admission to the Partnership shall be effective as of the applicable closing date. The initial closing of the Partnership (the "First Close") is targeted for August 15, 2025. Subsequent closings may be held on a rolling basis for up to eighteen (18) months following the First Close, with the final closing deadline being February 15, 2027 (the "Final Close Deadline"). Subscribers admitted after the First Close will be required to make a catch-up contribution (including interest at the rate specified in the Partnership Agreement) with respect to capital previously called from limited partners admitted at prior closings, as more fully described in the Partnership Agreement.

The Subscriber further acknowledges that the terms of the Partnership Agreement (as it may be amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms) shall govern the rights, obligations, and interests of the limited partners and the General Partner with respect to the Partnership, and that in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership Agreement shall control (except with respect to the representations, warranties, and agreements of the Subscriber contained herein, which shall survive and remain in effect regardless of any such conflict).

No additional authorization, approval, consent, or other action by or filing with any governmental authority or any other person or entity is required in connection with the execution, delivery, or performance by the Subscriber of this Agreement or the Partnership Agreement, except as may have been obtained or made prior to the date hereof and except as otherwise disclosed in the Investor Questionnaire.
This Agreement constitutes, and upon execution the Partnership Agreement will constitute, a legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity (whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity).

The Subscriber represents and warrants that:
(a) The Subscriber is NOT a "U.S. person" as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Subscriber is organized, formed, and domiciled outside the United States and does not have its principal office or place of business in the United States.

(c) The Subscriber was not formed for the purpose of investing in the Partnership and is not acting on behalf of, or as nominee, agent, or conduit for, any U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S or Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) with respect to its investment in the Partnership.
(d) The Subscriber is acquiring the Interests outside the United States in an "offshore transaction" as that term is defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act. No offer to acquire the Interests was made to the Subscriber in the United States, and the Subscriber was located outside the United States at the time the buy order for the Interests originated.
(e) The Subscriber acknowledges that the Interests have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered, sold, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of any U.S. person except pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
Section 2.3 — Qualified Purchaser Status
The Subscriber represents and warrants that it is a "qualified purchaser" as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including Rule 2a51-1). The Subscriber has indicated the specific basis for its qualification as a "qualified purchaser" in the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A, and such information is true, complete, and correct in all respects.
The Subscriber acknowledges that the Partnership relies on the exclusion from the definition of "investment company" provided by Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act, which exclusion requires that all holders of outstanding securities (including Interests) of the Partnership be persons who, at the time of acquisition of such securities, are "qualified purchasers" as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the 1940 Act. The Subscriber understands that the Partnership has not been and will not be registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act in reliance upon such exclusion, and that the availability of such exclusion depends upon the accuracy of the representations made by each investor in the Partnership with respect to its qualified purchaser status.
The Subscriber has completed the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A and the information provided therein, including information relating to the Subscriber's qualified purchaser status, is true, complete, and correct as of the date hereof and will be true, complete, and correct as of the date of the Subscriber's admission to the Partnership.

The Subscriber represents and warrants that it is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The specific basis for the Subscriber's qualification as an "accredited investor" is set forth in the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A, and such information is true, complete, and correct in all respects.
Section 2.5 — Investment Intent and Restrictions on Transfer
The Subscriber is acquiring the Interests for its own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution, resale, subdivision, or fractionalization thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws. The Subscriber has no present intention, plan, or arrangement to sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Interests.
The Subscriber understands that the Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction and are being offered and sold in reliance on exemptions from registration under Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Interests may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise disposed of unless such transaction is registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state and foreign securities laws, or is exempt from such registration requirements.
The Subscriber agrees that it will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any of the Interests, or any interest therein, except in compliance with the Partnership Agreement and all applicable securities laws, rules, and regulations. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Partnership Agreement, including, without limitation, the requirement that any proposed transfer must receive the prior written consent of the General Partner (which consent may be withheld in the General Partner's sole and absolute discretion) and must comply with all applicable legal requirements.
Section 2.6 — Sophistication and Access to Information
The Subscriber has such knowledge, sophistication, and experience in financial and business matters, including experience in evaluating and making investments of the type contemplated by this Agreement, as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Partnership, and has made its own independent evaluation of the merits and risks of this investment. The Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Partnership for an indefinite period of time, including the risk of a complete loss of such investment, and has adequate means of providing for its current needs and personal contingencies without regard to any return on or distributions from its investment in the Partnership.
The Subscriber has been furnished with, and has carefully reviewed, the PPM, the Partnership Agreement, and any supplements, amendments, or updates thereto provided to the Subscriber prior to the date hereof. The Subscriber has had a meaningful opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the General Partner, HCP, and their respective authorized representatives concerning the terms and conditions of the offering, the operations and business of the Partnership, and any other matters relevant to the Subscriber's investment. The Subscriber has also had the opportunity to obtain such additional information as it deemed necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in the PPM and the Partnership Agreement.
The Subscriber acknowledges that it has reviewed and understands the risk factors described in the PPM, including, without limitation, the risks associated with: (i) illiquid and long-term investments; (ii) the use of leverage at the fund level and at portfolio company levels; (iii) concentration of investments in a limited number of portfolio companies; (iv) foreign currency risks; (v) the lack of a public market for the Interests; (vi) the possibility that capital calls may exceed the Subscriber's expectations in terms of timing and amount; (vii) potential conflicts of interest involving the General Partner, HCP, and their affiliates; (viii) key person risk; (ix) geopolitical, macroeconomic, and regulatory risks; and (x) the general risks inherent in private equity investments.
The Subscriber acknowledges that neither the General Partner, HCP, Calderwood & Harkness LLP, Osprey Capital Markets LLC, nor any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or agents has made any representation or warranty to the Subscriber regarding the tax consequences of the Subscriber's investment in the Partnership, and that the Subscriber has consulted (or has had the opportunity to consult) its own tax, legal, and financial advisors regarding such matters.
Section 2.7 — ERISA Representations
The Subscriber represents and warrants as follows (the Subscriber should check the applicable box):
The Subscriber is NOT any of the following:
(a) an "employee benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA;
(b) a "plan" as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code that is subject to the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code;
(c) an entity whose underlying assets include "plan assets" by reason of any plan's investment in such entity within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(f) (as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA); or
(d) a governmental plan, church plan, or non-U.S. plan that is subject to provisions of applicable law that are substantially similar to the provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
The Subscriber IS a benefit plan investor or an entity whose underlying assets include "plan assets" as described above, and the Subscriber has provided additional information regarding its benefit plan investor status in the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A.
The Subscriber acknowledges that the Partnership intends to limit "benefit plan investors" (as defined in 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(f)(2)) to less than twenty-five percent (25%) of each class of equity interests in the Partnership in order to avoid treatment of the Partnership's assets as "plan assets" under ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder. If the acceptance of the Subscriber's subscription would cause the aggregate investment by benefit plan investors in the Partnership to equal or exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of any class of equity interests, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, reject or reduce the Subscriber's subscription or take such other actions as the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate to maintain compliance with the plan asset regulations.
Section 2.8 — Tax Status and Withholding
The Subscriber shall provide, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY, or W-8ECI (as applicable to the Subscriber's circumstances) certifying the Subscriber's non-U.S. status for United States federal income tax withholding purposes. The applicable form is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Subscriber agrees to provide updated or replacement forms promptly upon the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the information previously provided, and in any event, not later than the expiration of the currently effective form.
The Subscriber acknowledges that the Partnership may be subject to United States federal withholding taxes on certain income or gain allocable to non-U.S. partners, including, without limitation: (i) withholding on fixed or determinable annual or periodical income under Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code; (ii) withholding on effectively connected income ("ECI") under Section 1446 of the Code; and (iii) withholding on gain from the disposition of United States real property interests ("FIRPTA gains") under Section 1445 of the Code. The Subscriber further acknowledges that the General Partner may be required to withhold and remit taxes on the Subscriber's allocable share of such income or gain as required by applicable law, and that any amounts so withheld shall be treated as distributions to the Subscriber for all purposes under the Partnership Agreement.
The Partnership's fiscal year is the calendar year (January 1 through December 31). The Partnership will file IRS Form 1065 (U.S. Return of Partnership Income) with the Internal Revenue Service on an annual basis and will provide Schedule K-1 (Partner's Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc.) to each limited partner, including the Subscriber, as soon as practicable following the end of each fiscal year. The Subscriber acknowledges that it may have United States federal income tax filing obligations as a result of its investment in the Partnership and is solely responsible for the payment of any taxes due with respect to its allocable share of Partnership income, gain, deduction, loss, or credit.
Section 2.9 — FATCA and CRS Compliance
The Subscriber shall provide, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or promptly upon request, such documentation, certifications, and information as the General Partner or the Administrator (Pinnacle Fund Services LLC) may require in order to comply with the requirements of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"), as set forth in Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Common Reporting Standard ("CRS") developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") and adopted by the Cayman Islands through the Tax Information Authority Act (as revised) and the Tax Information Authority (International Tax Compliance) (Common Reporting Standard) Regulations (as revised) of the Cayman Islands.
The Subscriber shall promptly notify the General Partner in writing of any change in circumstances that would affect the Subscriber's FATCA classification, CRS classification, or tax residency status, including, without limitation, any change that would render any certification, form, or documentation previously provided by the Subscriber inaccurate or incomplete.
A FATCA/CRS self-certification form is included in Part X of the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the Subscriber shall complete such form in full.
The Subscriber acknowledges that, in the event that the Subscriber fails to provide the documentation and information required under this Section 2.9, the Partnership may be subject to FATCA withholding at a rate of thirty percent (30%) on certain payments of U.S.-source income, and the General Partner may allocate the cost of any such withholding to the Subscriber's capital account and treat such withheld amounts as distributions to the Subscriber.
Section 2.10 — Anti-Money Laundering and Sanctions Compliance
The Subscriber represents and warrants as follows:
(a) The Subscriber is not, and is not acting on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person or entity that is (i) named on, or owned or controlled by a person or entity that is named on, any sanctions list maintained by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the United States Department of the Treasury (including the Specially Designated Nationals and blocked Persons List, the Sectoral Sanctions Identifications List, the Foreign Sanctions Evaders List, and any other list of sanctioned or restricted persons), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union (including the Consolidated List of Persons, Groups, and Entities Subject to EU Financial Sanctions), or Her Majesty's Treasury of the United Kingdom, or (ii) located, organized, or resident in any country or territory that is the subject of comprehensive country-wide or territory-wide sanctions (including, as of the date hereof, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk People's Republic, and Luhansk People's Republic regions of Ukraine).
(b) The funds used by the Subscriber to acquire the Interests, including all capital contributions to be made by the Subscriber to the Partnership, are not derived from, and will not be derived from, any unlawful activity, including, without limitation, money laundering, terrorist financing, tax evasion, or any other activity that would constitute a violation of applicable law.
(c) The Subscriber is in compliance with, and will continue to comply with, all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the Cayman Islands Proceeds of Crime Act (as revised), the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations (as revised) of the Cayman Islands, The Terrorism Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands, the Bank Secrecy Act of the United States (31 U.S.C. §§ 5311 et seq.), the USA PATRIOT Act (Pub. L. 107-56), and any regulations or guidance issued by any governmental authority with respect to anti-money laundering matters.
(d) The Subscriber shall provide, promptly upon request, all documentation and information reasonably requested by Pinnacle Fund Services LLC (the "Administrator") for purposes of KYC/AML verification, including, without limitation, certified copies of the Subscriber's constitutional and organizational documents (e.g., certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles of association, partnership agreement, or trust deed), evidence of authority for authorized signatories (e.g., board resolutions or powers of attorney), government-issued photographic identification of authorized signatories and beneficial owners (e.g., passports or national identity cards), proof of residential address for beneficial owners (e.g., utility bills or bank statements dated within three months), and source of funds and source of wealth declarations.
The General Partner reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to reject or rescind any subscription, and to redeem the Interests held by any limited partner, if the General Partner determines at any time that the Subscriber or any of its beneficial owners has failed to comply with applicable AML, KYC, or sanctions requirements, or if the General Partner determines that the continued participation of the Subscriber in the Partnership could expose the Partnership, the General Partner, HCP, or any of their affiliates to legal, regulatory, or reputational risk.

The Subscriber shall disclose in Part IX of the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A whether any of its beneficial owners (as defined in applicable Cayman Islands anti-money laundering regulations and guidance notes), directors, general partners, managing members, trustees, or authorized signatories is a "politically exposed person" ("PEP") as defined under the Cayman Islands Anti-Money Laundering Regulations (as revised) and the Anti-Money Laundering Guidance Notes issued by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority.

Section 2.12 — No Government or Regulatory Prohibition
The Subscriber represents and warrants that its subscription for the Interests, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder do not and will not violate or conflict with any law, statute, regulation, rule, order, judgment, decree, or award of any government, governmental authority, court, arbitral tribunal, or regulatory body applicable to the Subscriber in its jurisdiction of organization, formation, domicile, or residence, or in any other jurisdiction in which the Subscriber conducts business.
The Subscriber is not subject to any governmental, regulatory, judicial, or other prohibition or restriction on investing in private equity funds, alternative investment vehicles, or in the Partnership specifically. The Subscriber has obtained all governmental, regulatory, corporate, partnership, or other approvals, consents, and authorizations necessary for the Subscriber's investment in the Partnership, including any approvals required by applicable foreign investment laws, exchange control regulations, or other regulatory requirements.
Section 2.13 — Sovereign Immunity (if applicable)
If the Subscriber is a sovereign entity, a political subdivision thereof, an instrumentality, agency, or department of a sovereign state, or an entity owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by a sovereign state or political subdivision thereof, the Subscriber hereby represents and warrants that:
(a) The Subscriber has obtained all necessary governmental, institutional, ministerial, or other approvals and authorizations required for the Subscriber's investment in the Partnership, including any approvals required under the Subscriber's enabling legislation, charter, or constitutional documents, and any approvals required by applicable law, regulation, or governmental policy.

The foregoing waiver is subject to any separate provisions that may be agreed upon in a side letter between the General Partner and the Subscriber.
Section 2.14 — Placement Agent Disclosure
The Subscriber acknowledges that Osprey Capital Markets LLC ("Osprey"), a Delaware limited liability company, a broker-dealer registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), has been engaged as the exclusive placement agent for the Fund Complex.

Whitmore, Managing Director.
The Subscriber acknowledges that Osprey will receive a placement fee equal to one and one-quarter percent (1.25%) of the committed capital placed by Osprey with the Fund Complex, which placement fee shall be payable by the Sponsor (HCP) and shall not be borne by the Partnership, the Main Fund, the Parallel Fund, or any limited partner.
