**Fund Definitions**

When used in the Private Placement Memorandum (Schedule A), Operating Agreement (Schedule B), and Subscription Agreement (Schedule C) below, the following terms have the meanings specified hereunder:

***Roles / Entities***

 ****

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ***Master Series LLC*** | **Preamble X Capital LLC**, a Delaware series limited liability company. |
| ***Fund*** | **Preamble X Capital I, a series of Preamble X Capital LLC** |
| ***Manager*** | **Aaron Jun Yuen Chow**, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. |
| ***Investment Adviser*** | **Not applicable** *(This Fund operates without the input of a licensed and registered investment adviser as such is defined in the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager has done an independent analysis and/or relied upon the legal opinion of independent counsel to reach the conclusion that the Fund will not operate in a way that requires an investment adviser. As such, no registered investment adviser or other licensed financial professional will opine on the desirability or suitability of the assets that the Fund targets for acquisition. Should the Manager determine that designating an investment adviser is required, or in the best interest of the investors to the Fund, the Fund will likely incur additional costs and regulatory requirements at that time which could negatively impact investment returns.)* |
| ***Administrative Manager*** | **Allocations Fund Administration LLC** (or its affiliate), unless removed or replaced by the Manager in its sole discretion. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;***Special***<br>***Administrators*** | Any entity controlled by the Administrative Manager, each with limited power as set forth in the Operating Agreement, in each case unless removed or replaced by the Manager in its sole discretion. |
| ***Registered Agent and Agent Address*** | **A Registered Agent, Inc.** located at 8 The Green, Suite A, Dover, Delaware 19901 |
| ***Principal Office Location*** | 455 10th Avenue 25B, New York, New York, United States 10018 |

***Key terms***

 ****

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ***Purpose of the Fund*** | The Fund has been created with the general purpose of acting as a fund operating under the prescribed Investment Objective when investing in one or more Portfolio Companies. |
| ***Initial Closing*** | The Initial Closing is intended to happen on or around June 30, 2026; however, the Manager may choose to have the Initial Closing at any time upon receiving any amount of Capital Contributions (including the Capital Contribution of the Manager). |
| ***Subsequent Closings/ Member Investment Period*** | Additional Members may be admitted at any time up to twelve (12) months after the Initial Closing (the "***Member Investment Period***"). Members admitted at any closing subsequent to the Initial Closing will be required to pay the Fund their proportionate share of the sum of: (i) the original cost of any investments made prior to such closings, unless the Manager determines that it is appropriate to re-value any such investment; and (ii) amounts previously funded for organizational and operating expenses of the Fund. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;***Timing of Capital***<br>***Contributions*** | Each Investor will fund their entire Capital Contribution with submission of their Subscription Agreement at the Initial Closing and at any subsequent closing(s). An Investor that is admitted to the Fund, or increases its Capital Contribution, after the Initial Closing, will be required to immediately contribute that portion of its entire or additional Capital Contribution. In addition, if such Capital Contributions occurred after the Initial Closing, then each such Investor will be required to pay to the Manager, its designee and/or the Fund as may be applicable (from their Capital Account), their portion of any and all management fees previously paid by the Fund to the Manager or its designee on the amount contributed (calculated from the date(s) that such amounts would have been contributed if the Investor's entire Capital Contribution had been made at the Initial Closing). |
| ***Estimated Size of Fund*** | &nbsp;&nbsp;The Initial Close is expected to be at $10,000,000. The total amount raised through the Fund is expected to be at least $30,000,000, but not more than $500,000,000. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ***Investment Period*** | The Investment Period will commence on the Initial Closing Date and end on the earliest to occur of: (i) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Initial Closing Date; or (ii) at such time as may be necessary or advisable in the good faith judgment of the Manager. |
| ***Investment Objective*** | The Fund's primary investment objective is to achieve capital growth over a long-term investment period. The Fund seeks to attain its investment objectives by investing primarily in the equity securities of private investments in early stage technology companies. |
| ***Investment Strategy*** | The Fund seeks to achieve its Investment Objectives by primarily investing in mid to late stage investment opportunities presented by founders of private tech companies. The Fund anticipates investing in Estimated Number of Investments (as defined below). While such private companies will be primarily located in the U.S., the Fund will also consider companies from foreign and/or emerging markets. Equity securities may include, but are not limited to, common stock, preferred stock, Simple Agreement for Future Equity ("SAFEs"), convertible notes and other convertible securities, and limited partnership or limited liability company interest. The Fund is a long-only fund with a focus on private companies that align with the Manager's selection criteria – including but not limited to size, potential to acquire customers efficiently, company management and projected revenues. While the Fund will not necessarily limit its investments to any one sector, it is also not seeking diversification across multiple sectors or security types. Rather, the primary Investment Objective is to identify and invest in private companies projected to experience above average growth of revenues and earnings. However, the Manager's investment decisions do not adhere rigidly to any particular investment formula or system. The Manager, from time to time in its sole discretion, may refine or change its investment methods and strategies (including technical factors or analyses) without prior notice to or approval by the Fund or Members. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its "Investment Objectives and Strategies." |
| ***Portfolio Company[ies]*** | A Portfolio Company is each private company in which the Fund has invested, intends to invest or is in good faith contemplating an investment, in accordance with the Fund's Investment Objectives and Strategy. |
| ***Estimated Number of Investments*** | The Fund anticipates investing in 25-50 Portfolio Companies, provided, however, that the Manager shall be entitled to increase the estimated number of investments at its sole discretion. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ***Management Fee*** | Zero percent (0%) |
| ***Management Fee Collection*** | The Management Fee shall be collected annually in advance with respect to the Initial Closing Date and each Additional/Subsequent Closing Date. For avoidance of doubt, the Management Fee will be billed upon each Member's capital commitment at the Initial Closing Date or Additional/Subsequent Closing Date (as applicable) and upon each anniversary of such applicable closing date. |
| ***Carry*** **Percentage** | The Carry Percentage shall be zero percent (0%) of any distributions, in accordance with the Carry Calculation. |
| ***Carry Calculation*** | &nbsp;&nbsp;(i) First, to the Members who have made a capital contribution, pro rata in proportion to their Interests, until the Member has received an amount equal to said Member's capital contribution; and<br>(ii) the Carry Percentage of the remainder to the Manager, if any; and then<br>(iii) the remainder to the Members, pro rata in proportion to their Interests.<br>Distributions will be treated cumulatively for purposes of applying the Carry. For example, if the initial distribution made by the Fund satisfies the first prong of the Carry Calculation, subsequent distributions will not need to again satisfy that prong before distributing any Carry Percentage in accordance with prongs two and three. |
| ***Fund expenses*** | The Fund will incur initial and ongoing expenses related to the setup and operations of the fund. Please refer to the PPM for additional information. |
| ***Effective Date*** | The Effective Date shall be the same as the Initial Closing Date. |
| ***Initial Drawdown Amount*** | One hundred percent (100%) of the applicable Partner's Capital Commitment. |
| ***Pro-Rata Rights reserved for*** ***Members*** | No |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ***Minimum Drawdown Notice*** | Period of not less than ten (10) calendar days from and including the date of delivery of a Drawdown Notice as permitted by this Agreement. |
| ***Minimum Subscription Amount*** | $25,000 (For avoidance of doubt, the Manager has the discretion to accept an amount less than the stated Minimum Subscription Amount.) |
| ***Portfolio Company***<br>***Liquidity Events*** | Typically the Fund will reinvest payouts earned as the result of a Portfolio Company Liquidity Event. However, the Manager, in its sole discretion, may elect to make distributions to Partners following such events. |
| ***Term*** | The Fund is a closed-end fund, meaning after a period of raising capital the Fund will be closed to new Capital Contributions and new Investors. The Manager expects to acquire Capital Contributions over the course of a Member Investment Period expected to be twelve (12) months or less. The "***Termination Date***" of the Fund will be ten (10) years after the Initial Closing; provided, however, that prior to a dissolution pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement, the Manager, in its sole discretion, may make up to two successive one-year deferrals of the Termination Date. Any additional extensions of the Term proposed by the Manager (whether to facilitate an orderly dissolution and liquidation of the Fund or otherwise deemed necessary by the Manager) shall only be made with the approval of Members holding a majority of the Interests. Additionally, interests in the Fund may be purchased by a Successor Fund as such is defined and described in the Operating Agreement. |
| ***Closing***<br>***Parameters*** | Interests in the Fund are offered privately. A Person seeking to purchase an interest will be required to submit Subscription Documents at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Initial Closing Date, or any Additional/Subsequent Closing Dates, or such other times as the Manager determines in its sole discretion. "Business Day" means any day on which banks in New York City are open for business, except as the Manager may determine otherwise in its discretion. |
| ***Future Offerings*** | Initially, there shall be one class of Interests in the Fund. The Manager is authorized, without providing prior notice to, or receiving consent from, existing Members, to issue Interests, or additional Series or classes of Interests, that are subject to certain different terms, including, without limitation, higher, lower or no Management Fee or Carry Fee Percentage, different or more or less frequent withdrawal rights, increased or different reporting of information or transparency, different notice provisions, or such other terms as the Manager may determine in its sole discretion. |

**Schedule A: Fund Private Placement Memorandum**

**CONFIDENTIAL**

**PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM**

This confidential private placement memorandum ("***Memorandum***") is being furnished by the Manager solely for use by prospective Members in evaluating the Fund and this Offering of interests. **Capitalized terms used in this Memorandum but not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth on the Main Definitions page or the meaning given them in the Fund's partnership agreement** (the "**Operating Agreement**").

THE Manager WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY COMMISSIONS OR FEES FOR THE SALE OF INTERESTS PURSUANT TO THE MEMORANDUM. **THE INVESTMENT DESCRIBED IN THIS MEMORANDUM INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. *SEE* THE RISK FACTORS IN "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS," AND THROUGHOUT THIS MEMORANDUM.**

All documents relevant to the Fund's Offering of interests and any additional information (including information necessary to verify the accuracy of any information contained in this Memorandum) that are reasonably available or that can be obtained without unreasonable expense will be made available, subject to considerations of confidentiality, trade secrets and proprietary information to any prospective investor or the investor's advisers upon request to the Manager.

**GENERAL NOTICES**

This Memorandum is furnished on a confidential basis to a limited number of sophisticated investors to provide certain information about an investment in interests (the "***Interests***") of the Fund. This Memorandum is to be used by the person to whom it has been delivered solely in connection with the consideration of the purchase of the Interests described in this Memorandum. The information contained in the Memorandum should be treated in a confidential manner and may not be reproduced, transmitted or used in whole or in part for any other purpose, nor may it be disclosed without the prior written consent of the Manager. Each prospective investor accepting this Memorandum hereby agrees to return it to the Manager, along with any copies (and destroy any electronic copies), promptly upon request.

THIS MEMORANDUM DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL OR THE SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY IN ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION TO ANY PERSON TO WHOM IT IS UNLAWFUL TO MAKE SUCH OFFER OR SOLICITATION IN SUCH STATE OR JURISDICTION. THE INTERESTS OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "***SEC***") OR BY THE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY SUCH SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY PASSED ON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS MEMORANDUM. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY MAY BE A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. THIS MEMORANDUM IS NOT, AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS TO BE CONSTRUED AS, A PROSPECTUS OR ADVERTISEMENT FOR A PUBLIC OFFERING OF THE SECURITIES REFERRED TO IN THIS MEMORANDUM.

The Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state or any other jurisdiction, nor is such registration contemplated. The Interests will be offered and sold only to "accredited investors" as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D ("***Accredited Investors***"). The Fund may also require that the Interests be sold only to "qualified purchasers" as defined in Section2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("***Qualified Purchasers***"). The Interests will be sold in accordance with the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and other exemptions of similar import in the laws of the states where this Offering will be made. The Fund will not be registered as an Investment Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "***Investment Company Act***").

The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions arising out of an investment in an Interest, the rights and responsibilities of the Manager and each person subscribing for Interests (each, a "***Partner***"), and the terms and conditions of this Offering are governed by the partnership agreement of the Fund (the "***Operating Agreement***"), and the subscription agreement between each Partner and the Fund (the "***Subscription Agreement***"), all of which will be provided to the Partners. The description of any matters in the text of this Memorandum is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to those documents. In particular, terms related to an investment in the Fund may vary from those set forth in this Memorandum as a result of negotiated changes in the Operating Agreement after the date of this Memorandum. The Manager reserves the right to modify the terms of this Offering and of the Interests described in this Memorandum, and the Interests are offered subject to the Manager's ability to reject any subscription for Interests in whole or in part.

There is no public market for the Interests and no public market is expected to develop in the future. The Interests may not be sold or transferred unless they are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from that registration under the Securities Act and under any other applicable securities law registration requirements is available. Furthermore, there are limitations on the transfer of interests as contained in the Operating Agreement.

The information contained in this Memorandum is given as of the date on the cover page, unless another time is specified. Partners may not infer from either the subsequent delivery of this Memorandum or any sale of Interests that there has been no change in the facts described since that date. Certain of the economic, financial and market information contained in this Memorandum (including certain Forward-looking Statements and information) has been obtained from published sources or prepared by persons other than the Manager. While that information is believed to be reliable for the purposes used in this Memorandum, none of the Fund, the Manager or any of their respective managers, officers, employees, partners, members or affiliates assume any responsibility for the accuracy of that information.

**POTENTIAL INVESTORS SHOULD PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE INFORMATION IN "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS" IN THIS MEMORANDUM.** INVESTMENT IN THE FUND IS SUITABLE ONLY FOR SOPHISTICATED INVESTORS AND REQUIRES THE FINANCIAL ABILITY AND WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT THE HIGH RISKS AND LACK OF LIQUIDITY INHERENT IN AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND. INVESTORS IN THE FUND MUST BE PREPARED TO BEAR THOSE RISKS FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE WILL BE ACHIEVED OR THAT INVESTORS WILL RECEIVE A RETURN OF THEIR CAPITAL.

IN MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION, INVESTORS MUST RELY ON THEIR OWN EXAMINATION OF THE FUND AND THE TERMS OF THIS OFFERING, INCLUDING THE MERITS AND RISKS INVOLVED. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD NOT CONSTRUE THE CONTENTS OF THIS MEMORANDUM AS LEGAL, TAX, INVESTMENT OR ACCOUNTING ADVICE. **PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN ADVISERS WITH RESPECT TO THE LEGAL, TAX, REGULATORY, FINANCIAL AND ACCOUNTING CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR INVESTMENT IN THE FUND**.

Each Partner is invited to meet with a representative of the Fund and to discuss with, ask questions of and receive answers from that representative concerning the terms and conditions of this Offering, and to obtain any additional information, to the extent that the representative possesses that information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the information contained in this Memorandum.

No person has been authorized in connection with this Offering to give any information or make any representations other than as contained in this Memorandum, and any representation or information not contained in this Memorandum must not be relied on as having been authorized by the Fund, the Manager, the managers of the Manager or any of their affiliates.

**Certain information contained in this Memorandum constitutes "*Forward-looking Statements*," which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "continue" or "believe," or the negatives or other variations or comparable terminology. Due to various risks and uncertainties, including those set forth under Section VII: "Investment Considerations," actual events or results may differ materially from those reflected in the Forward-looking Statements. Any Forward-looking Statements or information contained in this Memorandum should be considered with these risks and uncertainties in mind. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on any Forward-looking Statements and information.**

In considering the prior performance information relating to the Fund (if a subsequent Closing occurs) or the Portfolio Company[ies] and in the event that such information is contained in this Memorandum (of affiliates of the Manager), prospective investors should bear in mind that past or projected performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve comparable results or that the Fund will be able to implement its investment strategy or achieve its investment objectives.

Except as otherwise noted, all references herein to "***$***" or monetary amounts refer to United States ("***U.S.***") dollars.

**I.** SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL TERMS

Persons whose subscriptions are accepted by the Fund will be admitted as partners of the Fund ("***Partners***"). Each Interest includes the right of that Partner to all benefits to which a Partner may be entitled pursuant to the Operating Agreement and under applicable law, together with all obligations of the Partner to comply with the terms and provisions of the Operating Agreement and applicable law. |
| **Fund Investments:** | The Fund has been formed for the purpose of purchasing interests in multiple unregistered Portfolio Company Securities (as defined in the Main Definitions page) that align with the overall Investment Objective and Strategies of the Fund. The Portfolio Company Securities will typically be acquired by the Fund directly from the Portfolio Company in a private placement conducted by the Portfolio Company in accordance with Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "***Private Placement***"). The Fund will participate in a given Private Placement with other investors, and the price paid by the Fund for the Portfolio Company Securities will be the issue price established by the Portfolio Company in the Private Placement, which may not be comparable to prices paid by those other investors, or reflect comparable terms. Investment in the Fund is designed only for sophisticated persons who are able to bear the total loss of their capital contribution to the Fund. |
| **Management:** | All management decisions regarding the business of the Fund will be made by the Manager, and the Members will have limited or no rights to vote, approve or otherwise participate in the business and affairs of the Fund. The Manager does not, and will not owe any fiduciary duties of any kind whatsoever to the Fund, or to any of the Partners, by virtue of its role as the Manager, including, but not limited to, the duties of due care and loyalty, whether those duties were established as of the date of the Operating Agreement or any time hereafter, and whether established under common law, at equity or legislatively defined. By signing the Operating Agreement, Partners will agree that the fiduciary duties are affirmatively eliminated and waived as to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. |
| **Maximum Number of Investors:**<br>| The Manager intends at the present time to limit the number of Partners to a maximum of 100. |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Investment Minimum:** | The Fund has determined a Minimum Total Subscription Amount from a Partner, although the Manager may accept subscriptions of lesser amounts, in its sole discretion. |
| **Investment Procedure:** | An eligible investor may subscribe for Interests by delivering to the Fund, at least five (5) Business Days prior to a Closing, properly completed and fully executed Subscription Documents, together with all required supporting documentation. Once made, subscriptions are irrevocable. All Total Subscription Amounts will be held in an account until the earlier of: (i) the acceptance by the Manager of the Partner's Subscription Documents and satisfaction of the conditions of the Closing (collectively, the "***Closing Conditions***"); or (ii) the rejection by the Manager of the subscription or the termination of this Offering. |
|  | Upon the acceptance of a subscription by the Manager at the Closing the Partner will be admitted as a Member of the Fund and will have an Interest representing a proportionate share of the net assets of the Fund based on relative capital contributions of all Partners. |
|  | Under the terms of the Subscription Documents and the Operating Agreement, Members may, from time to time, at the discretion of the Manager, be required to provide representations, documentation, instruments or information to facilitate a Closing, satisfy Closing Conditions, satisfy applicable anti-money laundering requirements and for certain other purposes. |
| **Acceptance / Rejection of Subscriptions:** | The Manager reserves the right to accept or reject any subscription, in whole or in part. The Manager will notify each Member as to whether it has accepted their subscription. |
| **Fees or Expenses:** | The Fund may retain amounts contributed by the Partners toward expenses of the Fund in an account in its name as needed. All organizational and operating expenses of the Fund will be paid by the Fund (excluding any regulatory expenses, or other costs incurred by the Manager in connection with its daily operations, including but not limited to salary and other payments to employees or officers of the Manager). |
| **Management Fee:** | The Management Fee shall be due as outlined herein, to be paid in accordance with the Management Fee Collection. Such Management Fee will be separate from, and in addition to, any fees paid to third-party service providers (*i.e.*, the Manager, Adviser, auditor, etc.) for their respective services performed on behalf of the Fund. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Fund Operating Expenses:** | The Fund will pay (or reimburse the Manager or its affiliates for) or will be responsible for operating costs and expenses incurred by it or on its behalf, including (a) out-of-pocket expenses that are associated with disposing Portfolio Company Securities, including transactions not completed; (b) extraordinary expenses, if any (such as certain valuation expenses, litigation and indemnification payments); (c) interest on borrowed money, investment banking, financing and brokerage fees and expenses, if any; and (d) expenses associated with the Fund's tax returns and Schedules K-1, custodial, legal, audit and insurance expenses, any taxes, fees or other governmental charges levied against the Fund; (e) attorneys' and accountants' fees and disbursements on behalf of the Fund; (f) insurance, regulatory or litigation expenses (and damages); (g) expenses incurred in connection with the winding up or liquidation of the Fund (other than liquidation expenses permissible under the Operating Agreement; (h) expenses incurred in connection with any amendments to the constituent documents of the Fund and related entities, including the Manager; (i) third-party service providers, including but not limited to fees paid to the Manager, Adviser, auditing firm, etc.; and (j) expenses incurred in connection with the distributions to the Partners and in connection with any meetings called by the Manager. |
| **Distributions / Liquidity Event:** | Although earnings from a Liquidity Event or other monetization event are normally reinvested, distributions may be made at the sole discretion of the Manager. Each Partner nevertheless will be required to report its share of taxable income for federal income tax purposes. The Manager shall have the sole discretion to determine whether a distribution shall be made in cash or in-kind, or partly in cash or partly in-kind, or in cash to some Partners and in-kind to others. |
|  | A "***Liquidity Event***" means the receipt by the Fund of a material amount of cash, or non-cash assets, that may readily be transferred or liquidated for cash, as set forth in the Operating Agreement, received by the Fund in respect of Portfolio Company Securities held by the Fund. A Liquidity Event for a Portfolio Company will be deemed to occur upon the earliest of (a) the effectiveness of a registration statement filed by a Portfolio Company with the SEC on Form S-1 with respect to Identified Shares of that Portfolio Company held by the Fund, after any applicable IPO Lock-Up Period, and then only after the Manager determines in its sole discretion that liquidating the shares is in the best interest of the Fund; (b) a Merger Event, including a sale of all or substantially all of the assets, of a Portfolio Company in which the merger consideration is comprised of (i) equity interests of the acquiring company which are registered under the Securities Act, or which are otherwise readily transferable; or (ii) cash or other readily transferable assets; (d) the bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of a Portfolio Company; or (e) upon the Manager, in its discretion, determining that a Portfolio Company Securities and any other assets of the Fund in respect of those securities are freely or readily transferable, each as of the date that that consideration is received or that determination or transferability is made. |
|  | A "***Merger Event***" will be deemed to occur in the event that a Portfolio Company merges or consolidates with or into any other entity, and in which a Portfolio Company is not the parent or surviving company, after giving effect to that transaction, the equity owners of a Portfolio Company immediately prior to that transaction cease to own at least a majority of the equity interest of a Portfolio Company. |

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | Distributions may be comprised of (i) Portfolio Company Securities; or (ii) cash or other freely transferable securities to the extent that, in connection with a Liquidity Event, the Fund receives cash or other securities in exchange for Portfolio Company Securities. Interim distributions may be made, in the sole discretion of the Manager, if distributions are received by the Fund from such Portfolio Companies. |
|  | The Fund will first use available assets to repay outstanding debts and obligations, if any, of the Fund. Then, distributions will generally be made in accordance with the Carry Calculation. |
|  | Subject to the Manager's ability to establish permitted reserves, the Manager anticipates affecting final distributions to the Partners as soon as commercially practicable following the Term of the Fund (unless Fund assets are otherwise rolled into a Successor Fund as specified in the Operating Agreement). Interim distributions, if any, will be made at those times as the Manager determines in its sole discretion. All distributions will be made subject to, and following satisfaction of, any requirements relating to or restricting the transfer of Interests or Portfolio Company Securities imposed by the Portfolio Companies or at law. In connection with distributions, and if required by a Portfolio Company, each Partner agrees to be subject to the terms of the Portfolio Company Securities purchase agreement executed by the Fund as if that Partner was an original purchaser of the Portfolio Company Securities. |
|  | For the avoidance of doubt, any expenses relating to the transfer of the Portfolio Company Securities or other assets to the Partners following the Term of the Fund, or at such other time(s) as may be determined in the sole discretion of the Manager, will be borne by the Fund. Such expenses may include brokerage commissions, escrow fees, clearing and settlement charges, and custodial fees. The amount of assets that are distributable to the Partners will be net of those expenses. |
| **Restrictive Agreements and Lockup:** | The Portfolio Company Securities purchased by the Fund may be subject to restrictions on transfer and rights of first refusal in favor of a Portfolio Company, and will likely be subject to a lock-up by which the Fund would not be permitted to distribute the Portfolio Company Securities to Partners for a period of 180 days or more following the effective date of an initial public offering of the Portfolio Company Securities (the "***IPO Lock-Up Period***"). |
| **Allocations:** | The Fund's items of income, gain, loss or credit recognized by the Fund will be allocated to each Partner's Capital Account in a manner generally consistent with the procedures stated in the Operating Agreement.. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Capital Account:** | The Fund will establish and maintain a capital account ("***Capital Account***") for each Partner. The Capital Account of a Partner will be (i) increased by (a) the amount of all capital contributions ("***Capital Contributions***") by that Partner to the Fund; and (b) any Profits (or items of gross income) allocated to that Partner; and (ii) decreased by (a) the amount of any Losses (or items of loss) allocated to that Partner; and (b) the amount of any distributions to that Partner. Capital Accounts will be maintained in accordance with U.S. federal income tax guidelines. |
| **Securities Laws:** | The Interests will not be registered under the Securities Act. Offers of Interests will be made solely to investors that are Accredited Investors, and in some cases may also be required to be Qualified Purchasers. |
| **Investment Company Act of 1940:** | The Fund intends to rely on the exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "***Investment Company Act***") by reason of the exemption specified in Section 3(c)(1) (for issuers whose securities are beneficially owned by 100 or fewer investors, or by 250 or fewer investors for a "qualifying venture capital fund" as defined in that Section) or Section 3(c)(7) (for issuers whose securities are owned exclusively by "qualified purchasers" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act). Only "*accredited investors*" will be admitted as Partners, and in some cases, the Partners may also be required to be "*qualified purchasers.*" |
|  | For the Fund to avoid classification as an "*investment company*" under the Investment Company Act, the Manager may limit ownership by any other investment company (even if it is exempt from the definition under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act) to less than 10% of the outstanding Interests at the time that entity invests in the Fund. If the entity subscribes for Interests, the Manager may limit, in its sole discretion, the Interest sold to that entity to less than 10% of the value of the total Interests after that entity's investment. If the entity's subscription is for a greater amount, the difference will, in the Manager's discretion, be rejected and refunded. |
| **Other Business Activities of Manager:** | The Manager, for as long as it remains the Manager, will devote time to the Fund as is reasonably necessary to effectively manage its affairs. The Manager and Manager are not otherwise precluded from engaging in or pursuing, directly or indirectly, any interest in other business ventures of any kind, nature or description, independently or with others. |
| **Manager Not Exclusive:** | The Manager is permitted to create and manage one or more funds having a substantially similar investment strategy without any notice or consent of the Members. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Exculpation and Indemnification:** | Not the Manager, the Administrative Manager, Adviser, the Partnership Representative (as such are defined in the Operating Agreement), nor their respective members, managing members, shareholders, partners, employees, directors, officers, advisers, consultants, personnel or agents or Affiliates (as such are defined in the Operating Agreement) (collectively, "***Indemnified Persons***") will be liable to the Fund or any Partner for any losses, liability, claims, damages or expense ("***Losses***") so long as (i) that Indemnified Person acted in good faith and believed that conduct was in the best interests of the Fund; and (ii) that conduct did not constitute gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud. |
|  | In addition, the Fund may pay the expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in defending an actual or threatened civil or criminal action in advance of the final disposition of that action, *provided* that person agrees to repay those expenses if found by final adjudication not to be entitled to indemnification. The Fund may obtain insurance for (at the Fund's expense) the Indemnified Persons for any Losses except those attributable to conduct in the foregoing clause. |
| **Transfer of Interests; Withdrawal of Partners:** | The transfer of any Interests is subject to several restrictions, including the consent of the Manager. The transferee of any Interests must meet all investor suitability standards, complete subscription documents and comply with any applicable anti-money laundering requirements. The Manager will be allowed to transfer its Interest to an affiliate, provided the Manager continues to control the Interest. Members may not withdraw from the Fund prior to its termination and dissolution, and no Member has the right to require the Fund to redeem its Interest; provided that under limited circumstances, benefit plan members may be permitted or required to withdraw from the Fund. |
| **Dissolution:** | The Fund will dissolve and be liquidated upon the earliest of: (a) the end of the Term (unless the term is extended pursuant to the Operating Agreement); (b) the final distribution to the Partners; (c) entry of a judicial decree of dissolution pursuant to Delaware law; or (d) the Manager's sole discretion to dissolve the Fund. |
|  | In the event that upon completion of the Term a Liquidity Event has not yet occurred, then the Manager may create one or more Successor Funds in accordance with the Quarterly Funds Program described as part of the Operating Agreement. |
|  | On dissolution, the assets of the Fund will be liquidated by the Manager as promptly as possible; and after provision for all other debts and liabilities of the Fund (including those, if any, to Partners), the remaining assets will be distributed to the Partners in proportion to and in accordance with the Operating Agreement's provisions for distribution of distributable proceeds. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Compulsory Redemption:** | The Manager may, by notice to a Partner, force the sale of all or a portion of that Partner's Interest on terms as the Manager determines to be fair and reasonable, or take other actions as it determines to be fair and reasonable in the event that the Manager determines or has reason to believe that: (i) the Partner has attempted to effect a Transfer of, or a Transfer has occurred with respect to, any portion of that Partner's Interest in violation of the Operating Agreement; (ii) continued ownership of that Interest by that Partner is reasonably likely to cause the Fund to be in violation of securities laws of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction or the rules of any self-regulatory organization applicable to the Manager, the Manager, the Fund or their affiliates; (iii) continued ownership of that Interest by that Partner may be harmful or injurious to the business or reputation of the Fund, the Manager or Manager, their affiliates, or may subject the Fund or any Partners to a risk of adverse tax or other fiscal consequence; (iv) any of the representations or warranties made by that Partner in connection with the acquisition of that Partner's Interest was not true when made or has ceased to be true; or (v) that Partner's Interest has vested in any other person by reason of the bankruptcy, dissolution, incompetency or death of that Partner. |
| **Reports:** | Within 30 days following the Closing, or as soon as practicable after the Closing, the Fund may provide to each Partner a statement of its Capital Account. |
|  | The Fund's fiscal year will end on December 31. Within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, or as soon as practicable, the Fund expects to furnish to each Partner sufficient information from its information return as is necessary for each Partner to complete U.S. federal and state income tax returns with respect to its Interest, along with any other tax information required by law. Schedule K-1 will be furnished to Partners annually. |
| **Confidentiality:** | A Member's rights to access or receive any information about the Fund or its business will be conditioned on the Member's willingness and ability to assure that the information will be used solely by the Member for purposes of monitoring its Interest, and that the information will not become publicly available as a result of the Member's rights to access or receive that information. Each Member will be required to maintain information provided to it about the Fund or its business in confidence and not to disclose the information except in certain limited circumstances. The Manager will be entitled to withhold certain Fund information from Members who are unable to comply with the Fund's confidentiality requirements. The Manager may also limit the information that is made available to investors regarding a Portfolio Company investment. |
| **Limitation of Liability and Indemnification:** | The Indemnified Persons (in each case, an "***Indemnitee***") will not be liable to the Fund or the Partners for any act or omission of those parties, except to the extent that any losses or damages incurred by the Fund are primarily attributable to those parties' gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud. The Fund will indemnify, and may obtain insurance for (at the Fund's expense), the Indemnitees for any losses, claims, expenses, damages and liabilities ("***Losses***") incurred by them in connection with the Fund, its business, properties and affairs, except for Losses which are primarily attributable to their gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Certain Tax Considerations:** | As a partnership, the Fund generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, and each Partner subject to U.S. income tax will be required to include in computing its U.S. federal income tax liability its allocable shares of the items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Fund, regardless of whether and to what extent distributions are made by the Fund to that Partner. |
| **Unrelated Business Income Tax:** | The Manager will use its reasonable efforts to cause the Fund not to earn any unrelated business taxable income ("***UBTI***") except for investments which the Manager expects will generate UBTI, as provided in the Operating Agreement. |
| **Risk Factors:** | An investment in the Fund and the Fund's investment strategy involves significant risks, including those associated with investments in the Fund's targeted Investment Objectives and Strategy. An investment in the Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of their investment in the Fund. The Fund's performance may be volatile and is suitable only for persons who can afford fluctuations in the value of their capital. The Fund has limited liquidity and is suitable only for persons who have limited need for liquidity and who meet the suitability standards set forth in this Memorandum. There is no assurance that the Fund will be successful or that its investment objective will be achieved. No secondary market for the Interests is expected to develop, and there are severe restrictions on an investor's ability to withdraw and transfer Interests. The Fund has limited liquidity. See "Investment Considerations" in this Memorandum for a detailed list of risk factors. |
|  | Each potential investor should not construe the contents of this Memorandum as legal, tax, investment or other advice. Each recipient should carefully review this Memorandum and obtain the advice of legal, accounting, tax and other advisers in connection therewith before deciding to invest in the Fund. |
| **Investments by Non-U.S. Investors:** | Investments from non-U.S. investors are permitted. |
| **Amendments:** | The Operating Agreement provides broad discretion to the Manager to amend the Operating Agreement without the consent of the Members. Members are encouraged to read the provisions of the Operating Agreement relating to amendments. Additionally, the Manager may waive or modify any provision of the Operating Agreement with respect to any Member or prospective Member by agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager may not amend the Operating Agreement, or waive or modify any provision of the Operating Agreement with respect to any Member, in any way that materially adversely affects the economic interests of a Member's Interest without the consent of the Member. |
| **Portfolio Company Disclosure Material:** | Members have not been provided any disclosure materials or related information relating to a Portfolio Company as part of this Offering. |
| **No Voting Rights:** | Members will not have management rights. Members will not have voting rights except under the limited circumstances expressly provided in the Operating Agreement. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Proxy Voting Policy:** | The Manager, at the advice of the Adviser, will exercise proxy voting authority on behalf of the Fund. In exercising its proxy voting authority, the Manager expects to vote with the majority of other holders of the Portfolio Company Securities. |
| **Side Letters:** | The Manager and/or the Fund may from time to time enter into a side letter or similar agreement with a Member (a "**Side Letter**") pursuant to which the such Member may invest in the Fund on terms different, and in some circumstances more favorable, than those described in this Memorandum, including without limitation an agreement that (a) provides the Member with the ability to withdraw all or part of its capital account balance from the Fund on terms that are more favorable than the terms granted to other Members; (b) provides for a preferred return that differs from the rates set forth in this Memorandum and are more favorable than the terms granted other Members; and/or (c) provides for a Management Fee, Carry Percentage and/or expenses that are lower than currently offered other Members. The Manager and the Fund are not obligated, and do not intend, to disclose the existence of any Side Letter to other Members, nor extend the terms of any Side Letter to other Members. |
| **Shareholder Rights:** | The Manager will not be obligated to exercise any shareholder rights with respect to a Portfolio Company and Portfolio Company Securities such as pre-emptive rights, co-sale rights, tag-along rights, etc., but may choose to do so on behalf of the Members at the discretion of the Manager. The Manager may choose to assign those rights to another entity for the benefit of the Partners in its discretion. |

II. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY

**Investment**

The Fund's Investment Objective and Investment Strategy are stated as part of the Main Definitions Page above. The Fund will invest in Portfolio Companies in such amounts equal to the total subscriptions less the amounts reserved for any Fund expenses, Management Fee, Fund Setup Costs and additional expenses, if any. The Fund is entitled to negotiate the terms upon which it acquires any Portfolio Company Securities on behalf of the Partners.

III. MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

The Manager is responsible for the management and day-to-day administration and operations of the Fund. The Operating Agreement contains limitations on the liability of the Manager and its affiliates for any action taken, or any failure to act, on behalf of the Fund unless there is a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the Manager and those affiliates establishing that: (1) the Manager's acts or omissions involve gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud; or (2) the Manager personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which the Manager was not legally entitled. The Operating Agreement also provides for indemnification of the Administrative Manager, Adviser and their affiliates and advance of certain expenses for any losses for which such parties are absolved from liability under the terms of the Operating Agreement.

The Manager will instruct the Fund to follow the advice of the Adviser with regard to any decisions the Fund may be asked to make as holder of the Portfolio Company Securities. If unable to obtain advice from the Adviser regarding any such decision, the Fund will act in accordance with processes as outlined in the Operating Agreement.

IV. THE OFFERING

**Eligible Investors and Suitability Standards**

Interests are offered only to certain sophisticated investors that are individuals, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and trusts. Employee Benefit Plans and Tax-Exempt Entities are not entitled to participate in the Interests offered herein. As used in this Memorandum, "Employee Benefit Plan" investors include benefit plans subject to part IV of Title I of ERISA, such as employer-sponsored pension plans and profit-sharing plans, and plans subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), such as Keogh plans and individual retirement accounts ("IRAs"), other employee benefit or qualified retirement plans, and other entities whose assets are deemed to include assets of any Employee Benefit Plan, for avoidance of doubt, the Employee Benefit Plan will not include self-directed IRAs; however, capital commitments from such self-directed IRAs cannot exceed more than twenty five percent (25% of the total capital committed to the SPV. In addition, the term "Tax-Exempt Entities" includes any entity exempt from federal income taxation, including Employee Benefit Plans and private foundations and endowments.

In addition to the net worth, income and investments standards described in the Subscription Agreement, each Partner must have funds adequate to meet personal needs and contingencies, must have no need for prompt liquidity from investment in the Fund and must purchase Interests for long-term investment only and not with a view to resale or distribution. A Partner's Contributed Capital (as adjusted to reflect the allocation of income and losses of the Fund) may be withdrawn only as set forth in the Operating Agreement.

Each investor, either alone or with a purchaser representative, must also have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters generally, and in securities investment in particular, to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in the Fund. Because of the restrictions on withdrawing funds from the Fund and the risks of investment, an investment in the Fund is not suitable for an investor that does not meet the suitability standards as outlined in the Subscription Agreement. A prospective investor may not, however, rely on the Manager or the Administrative Manager to determine the suitability of its investment in the Fund. The Manager, Administrative Manager and Manager assume no liability for a Partner's decision to invest in the Fund).

**Reliance on Member Information**

Representations and requests for information regarding the satisfaction of investor suitability standards are included in the Subscription Agreement that each Partner must complete. The Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act. The Interests are being offered in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D of the Securities Act, and in reliance on applicable exemptions from state law registration or qualification provisions. Accordingly, before selling Interests to any offeree, the Manager will make all inquiries reasonably necessary to satisfy itself that the prerequisites of those exemptions have been met. Partners will also be required to provide additional evidence as deemed necessary by the Manager to substantiate information or representations contained in their respective Subscription Agreements. The standards set forth above are only minimum standards. The Manager reserves the right, in its exclusive discretion, to reject any Subscription Agreement for any reason, regardless of whether a Partner meets the suitability standards contained in this Memorandum. In addition, the Manager reserves the right, in its exclusive discretion, to waive minimum suitability standards not imposed by law.

The Manager will impose suitability standards comparable to those contained in this Memorandum in connection with any resale or other transfer of Interests permitted under the Operating Agreement.

**Plan of Distribution**

Interests are being offered and will be sold directly by the Manager on behalf of the Fund. No underwriters, brokers, dealers or finders have been engaged by the Manager or the Fund to offer or sell Interests.

V. LEGAL AND TAX MATTERS

General

The following is a brief summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to an investment in the Fund. This summary does not contain a comprehensive discussion of all U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a Partner in view of that Partner's particular circumstances or (unless otherwise indicated) to certain Partners subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws – such as regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, brokers or dealers in securities, banks and certain other financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, trusts and insurance companies – nor does it address any state, estate, local, foreign or other tax consequences of an investment in the Fund, except as otherwise provided in this Memorandum. This summary is based on the assumptions that (i) each Partner (and each of its beneficial owners, as necessary under U.S. federal income tax withholding and backup withholding rules) will provide all appropriate certifications to the Fund in a timely fashion to minimize withholding (or backup withholding) on each Partner's distributive share of the Fund's gross income; and (ii) each Partner will hold its Interest as a capital asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each Partner should also note that, except as otherwise provided in this Memorandum, this summary does not address the interaction of U.S. federal tax laws and any income or estate tax treaties between the U.S. and any other jurisdiction.

For purposes of this discussion, the term "***U.S. person***" generally means any U.S. citizen or resident individual, any corporation, limited liability company or partnership organized under U.S. law, any estate (other than an estate the income of which, from sources outside the U.S. that is not effectively connected with a trade or business within the U.S., is not includible in its gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and any trust if a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. The term "***U.S. Partner***" means any Partner that is a U.S. person and, unless the context otherwise requires, includes any U.S. person that holds an equity Interest through one or more partnerships or other entities treated as transparent for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The term "***Non-U.S. Partner***" means a Partner that is not a U.S. person.

No assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (the "***IRS***") will concur with the tax consequences set forth below. Each prospective investor is advised to consult its own tax counsel as to the specific U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Fund and as to applicable foreign, state, estate and local taxes. Also, *see* the discussion of tax matters under "Investment Considerations" in Section VII.

**Prospective investors should confer with their tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of investment in the Fund, including the impact of state, local and foreign tax laws, considering the prospective investors' particular circumstances. The Manager assumes no responsibility for the tax consequences of this transaction to any investor.**

**Federal Income Tax Treatment as a Partnership**

The Treasury Regulations provide that a partnership will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes unless it elects to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or is considered to be a publicly traded partnership. The Fund has no intention of electing to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. Moreover, the Fund does not intend to participate in or allow any of the activities that would cause the Fund to be treated as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. Accordingly, the Fund believes, and the remainder of this discussion assumes, that the Fund will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and that each Partner will be treated as a partner for federal income tax purposes.

Because it will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, the Fund will file annual income tax information returns but will not be subject as an entity to federal income tax liability. Instead, each Partner will receive an IRS Form 1065, Schedule K-1, showing the Partner's share of the Fund's income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for each tax year. Each Partner generally will be required to report, on the Partner's separate income tax return, that Partner's share of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, whether or not any cash or other property is distributed to that Partner by the Fund. In the absence of cash distributions from the Fund, a Partner may have to use funds from other sources to pay taxes with respect to any Fund income or gain that is allocated to that Partner. Similarly, each Partner generally will be able to report its share of losses of the Fund, if any, for tax purposes, subject to certain limitations (discussed below), even if the Partner receives a cash distribution.

Because the Fund will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, it will have its own taxable year separate from the taxable years of Partners. Pursuant to Section 706 of the Code, unless a business purpose can be established to support a different taxable year, a partnership generally must use the "*majority interest taxable year*," which is the taxable year that conforms to the taxable year of the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the interests in the partnership. In this case, the majority interest taxable year is expected to be the calendar year, and the Fund does not anticipate that it will seek to use a different taxable year based on its business purpose.

**Partners' Bases in Fund Interests**

Generally, the initial tax basis of a Partner's Interest will equal the amount of money paid for that Interest or contributed to the Fund, plus the Partner's adjusted tax basis in any property contributed to the Fund, less liabilities of the Partner that are assumed by the Fund, plus the Partner's share of the Fund's liabilities determined in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Section 752 of the Code. A Partner's tax basis in its Interest will be increased by the Partner's allocable share of Fund taxable income and the amount of any additional contributions to capital. A Partner's tax basis in its Interest will be decreased (but not below zero) by the Partner's allocable share of Fund taxable losses and the amount of any distribution to the Partner by the Fund. A Partner may deduct its allocable share of Fund losses only to the extent that those losses do not exceed the Partner's adjusted tax basis in its Interest. Losses in excess of basis may be carried forward until the Partner's adjusted tax basis in its Interest is increased above zero.

**Allocations of Net Income and Net Losses**

Net Income and Net Losses will be allocated among Partners in accordance with the Operating Agreement. The Manager believes that allocations of Net Income and Net Losses contained in the Operating Agreement will be in accordance with the Partners' Interests in the Fund or will have "*substantial economic effect*" within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Section 704 of the Code. Accordingly, the Manager expects that the allocations contained in the Operating Agreement will be respected by the IRS.

**Distributions**

A Partner generally will be taxed on the income and gain of the Fund that is allocated to the Partner, whether or not any money or other property is distributed to the Partner to pay the resulting federal income tax liability. A cash distribution generally will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the Partner's adjusted tax basis in its Interest and will not constitute taxable income to that extent. A Partner's adjusted tax basis in its Interest will be reduced by the amount of those distributions, and any amounts of money distributed to a Partner in excess of the Partner's adjusted tax basis in its Interest generally will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of the Interest. The federal income tax treatment of that gain will be subject to the considerations that are discussed under "Disposition of Fund Interests" below. If the Fund distributes an asset other than money to a Partner, the Partner generally will not recognize any gain or loss until the Partner sells or otherwise disposes of the asset. If the Partner's adjusted tax basis in its Interest exceeds the Fund's adjusted tax basis in the asset distributed, the Partner's initial tax basis in that asset will be the same as the Fund's adjusted tax basis in the asset immediately before the distribution. If, however, the Partner's adjusted tax basis in its Interest is less than the Fund's adjusted tax basis in the asset distributed, the Partner's initial tax basis in the asset will be the same as the Partner's adjusted tax basis in its Interest. The Partner's gain or loss from a subsequent sale or other taxable disposition of an asset will equal the difference, if any, between the amount realized on the sale or other taxable disposition and the Partner's adjusted tax basis in the asset. The character of that gain (as capital gain or ordinary income) will depend generally on the character of the asset in the hands of the Partner and the character of certain assets inside the Fund. For purposes of determining whether capital gain from a Partner's sale of an asset will be treated as long-term capital gain or short-term capital gain, the Partner generally may add the Fund's holding period of the asset to the Partner's holding period of the asset.

**Disposition of Fund Interests**

In general, a Partner will recognize gain or loss from a sale or other taxable disposition of an Interest in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized on the sale or other taxable disposition and the Partner's adjusted tax basis in the Interest. If an Interest is held as a capital asset of the Partner, the gain or loss generally will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss, *provided* the Interest was held for more than one (1) year before the date of the sale or other taxable disposition. Some or all of the gain from a sale of an Interest may be characterized as ordinary income regardless of the Partner's holding period of the Interest, however, to the extent of the Partner's share of the Fund's inventory and unrealized receivables.

**Unrelated Business Taxable Income**

Tax-exempt entities and qualified plans, including public charities, private foundations, IRAs and other qualified retirement plans are subject to federal income tax on UBTI. The rates of that tax depend on the nature of the tax-exempt entity or qualified plan. UBTI is defined generally as gross income from any unrelated trade or business, less the allowable deductions that are directly related to the carrying on of the trade or business, with certain statutory modifications. For purposes of calculating UBTI, a partner in a partnership is considered to be engaged in the trade or business of the partnership. Thus, a Partner will be considered to be engaged in the business of the Fund for UBTI purposes. Whether the trade or business of the Fund will generate UBTI will depend generally on (a) the character of the Interest with respect to each Partner; (b) whether the Fund has net taxable income; and (c) the character of items of gross income generated by the Fund.

As discussed above, a Partner will include in income its distributive share of items of Fund income and losses. A Partner that is a tax-exempt entity or plan must categorize those items under the rules of Section 512 of the Code to determine whether they must be included in computing UBTI. Items of gross income that are generally excluded from UBTI include dividends, interest, and gains or losses from the sale of property held for investment. Items of Fund income that would otherwise be excluded from UBTI, however, will generate UBTI if the income-producing property is considered "*debt-financed property*" within the meaning of Section 514 of the Code. Subject to certain exceptions in the Operating Agreement, the Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts not to take any action that would cause any Partner subject to Section 511 of the Code to be allocated UBTI under Sections 512 or 514 of the Code. Furthermore, the Fund is authorized to borrow money pending the receipt of contributions to provide for interim acquisition financing in furtherance of the Fund's business (*see* "Summary of Principal Terms"). Thus, it is possible that some of the investments held by the Fund will constitute debt-financed property and will generate UBTI to an investor that is a tax-exempt entity or qualified plan. In addition, if an investor that is a tax-exempt entity or qualified plan borrows money to acquire its Interest, that Interest will be treated as debt-financed property.

**The foregoing is intended only as a general discussion of UBTI. The UBTI rules are complex, and their application depends in large part on the circumstances of each tax-exempt entity or qualified plan that invests in the Fund. Any tax-exempt entity or qualified plan that is considering an investment in the Fund should consult with its tax adviser regarding the impact of such an investment on UBTI.**

**Dissolution and Liquidation of Fund**

Upon dissolution of the Fund, any remaining assets of the Fund may be sold, which may result in the Fund realizing taxable gain that would be allocated among Partners. Distributions of cash or Fund assets in complete liquidation of the Fund generally will be treated first as a return of capital and thereafter as gain from the sale of an Interest, to the extent of the amount of money and the fair market value (determined as of the date of liquidation) of any assets distributed. Generally, upon liquidation of the Fund, each Partner will recognize gain to the extent that the amount of money and the fair market value (determined as of the date of liquidation) of certain marketable securities distributed exceeds the Partner's adjusted tax basis in the Interest at the time of distribution. The gain generally will be considered as gain from the sale or exchange of an Interest.

**Tax Termination of the Fund**

If 50% or more of the Interests are sold or exchanged within any 12-month period (excluding successive transfers of the same Interest), the Fund will be treated as having been terminated for federal income tax purposes. Neither the admission of Partners that contribute capital nor the withdrawal of Partners is considered a sale or exchange of an Interest for purposes of this rule. If a termination occurs, the Fund will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having contributed all of its assets and liabilities to a new partnership and, immediately thereafter, as having distributed interests in the new partnership to the purchasing partner and the other remaining partners pro rata. This deemed transaction may have certain adverse federal income tax consequences, such as restarting the depreciation period for some or all of the Fund's depreciable assets, and possibly "*bunching*" income of Partners whose taxable years differ from the Fund's taxable year.

**Passive Activities**

Losses generated by "*passive activities*" generally are deductible only to the extent of income generated by passive activities. Generally, any Partner interest in a partnership is treated as an interest in a passive activity for purposes of the passive-activity loss rules. A Partner's allocable share of all taxable income, gain or loss of the Fund would, under the general rule, be considered passive income, gain or loss.

**Returns and Tax Information**

The Fund will annually furnish Partners sufficient information for Partners to prepare their own federal and state income tax returns and reports. Schedule K-1 will be furnished to Partners annually. Because the Fund cannot provide this information until it has all necessary information with respect to its investments, a Partner may be required to file for tax extensions in order to allow sufficient time for the completion of the Fund's income tax returns. The Fund's information returns will be prepared by certified public accountants selected by the Manager.

**Tax Reporting by U.S. Investors**

U.S. tax rules impose information reporting requirements on U.S. persons who own, directly or indirectly under attribution rules, more than certain threshold amounts of stock in a non-U.S. corporation. These persons must disclose, among other things, various transactions between themselves and those non-U.S. corporations. For purposes of these reporting requirements, stock ownership is determined regarding certain stock attribution rules, and each investor is treated as owning part or all of the stock owned by the Fund. Similar reporting requirements apply to U.S. persons who (i) own, directly or indirectly, more than certain threshold amounts of capital interests or profits interests in foreign entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such as the Fund or a foreign fund into which the Fund invests; or (ii) contribute, in their capacity as Partners, more than $100,000 to a non-U.S. partnership, such as the Fund or a foreign fund into which the Fund invests, during any 12 month period. In certain circumstances, U.S. investors may be required to file reports annually.

**Disclosure of Reportable Transactions**

A taxpayer who participates in a "*reportable transaction*" generally is required to attach a disclosure schedule to its U.S. federal income tax return disclosing that taxpayer's participation in the transaction. Subject to various exceptions, reportable transactions include, among other transactions, a transaction that results in a loss exceeding certain thresholds. If the Fund engages in any reportable transactions, certain U.S. investors may have disclosure obligations with respect to their investment in the Fund. Furthermore, a U.S. investor may have a disclosure obligation with respect to its Interest if the investor engages in a reportable transaction with respect to its Interest. Failure to comply with these and other reporting requirements could result in the imposition of significant penalties. U.S. investors should consult their own tax advisers regarding the potential applicability of any disclosure requirements to them.

**The federal income tax aspects of the Fund summarized above are general in nature, and this discussion is not intended to include a complete explanation of the federal income tax results of investing in the Fund. Each prospective investor should consult with its own tax adviser for detailed information.**

**State and Local Taxation**

The foregoing discussion does not address the state and local tax considerations of an investment in the Fund. Each prospective investor should consult with its own tax adviser for detailed information on state and local income tax consequences of making an investment in the Fund.

**Foreign Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Investors**

<u>Non-U.S. Taxes</u>. If the Fund investments include direct investments in foreign portfolio funds and indirect investments in a foreign Portfolio Company, the Fund's income and gains may be subject to withholding, net income or other taxation in foreign jurisdictions where the investments are located. The applicability of those taxes is not addressed in this Memorandum.

<u>Foreign Tax Credit Limitations</u>. With respect to creditable foreign taxes paid on the income or gains of the Fund, U.S. investors may be entitled to claim either a foreign tax credit, or, subject to limits generally applicable to all deductions, a deduction for their share of those foreign taxes. However, the rules for determining eligibility for and limits on foreign tax credits are extremely complex and depend on a number of factors that are unique to each U.S. investor's particular circumstances. For example, a credit for foreign taxes is subject to the limitation that it may not exceed the U.S. investor's federal tax (before the credit) attributable to its total foreign source taxable income.

The availability of foreign tax credits is determined separately for "*passive*" income (generally, interest and dividends) and "*general*" income (generally, non-passive income and certain passive income), so that excess foreign taxes attributable to one category of income may not be used to offset federal tax liability with respect to foreign source income in the other category of income. In addition, foreign taxes may offset federal tax liability only with respect to income that is treated as foreign source income, so that, for example, foreign taxes imposed on any income or gains of the Fund that are treated as U.S. source income for federal income tax purposes will not be eligible to offset the federal taxes imposed on the income or gains and may be credited, if at all, only against foreign taxes imposed on other foreign source income or gains in the same category of income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Furthermore, foreign taxes paid by a foreign corporation in which the Fund holds a direct or indirect equity investment generally cannot be claimed as a credit by a U.S. investor unless the U.S. investor is a corporation that is treated as owning (actually or constructively) at least 10% of the voting stock of the foreign corporation and certain other conditions are satisfied. The rules for determining the classification of the Fund's income to a U.S. investor will differ depending upon the U.S. investor's percentage ownership of the Fund and the Fund's percentage ownership of, and type of ownership in, foreign portfolio funds and foreign a Portfolio Company. Foreign source losses of the Fund may decrease federal taxes on U.S. source income but may also reduce the amount of foreign tax credits otherwise available to Partners, and foreign source losses recognized in one year may result in a re-sourcing of otherwise foreign source income as U.S. source income in a subsequent year, also limiting eligibility for foreign tax credits. Investors should consult their own tax advisers regarding all aspects of the rules applicable to foreign tax credits and the potential availability to them of foreign tax credits with respect to the income or taxes of the Fund.

**Non-U.S. Investors**

As discussed in more detail below, a non-U.S. investor generally should not be subject to taxation by the United States (other than certain withholding taxes) with respect to its investment in the Fund so long as that investor does not spend more than 182 days in the United States during its taxable year, does not otherwise have a substantial connection with the United States, and is not engaged, or deemed to be engaged, in a U.S. trade or business.

An investment in the Fund should not, by itself, cause a non-U.S. investor to be engaged in a U.S. trade or business for the foregoing purposes, so long as (i) the Fund is not considered a dealer in stocks, securities or commodities, and does not regularly offer to enter into, assume, offset, assign, or terminate positions in derivatives with customers; (ii) the Fund's U.S. business activities (if any) consist solely of investing in and/or trading stocks or securities, commodities of a kind customarily dealt in on an organized commodity exchange (if the transaction is of a kind customarily consummated at that place) and derivatives for its own account; and (iii) any entity in which the Fund invests that is treated as a disregarded entity or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not engaged in, or deemed to be engaged in, a U.S. trade or business. The Fund intends to conduct its affairs in a manner that meets those requirements.

If notwithstanding the Fund's intention, the Fund were engaged in, or deemed to be engaged in, a U.S. trade or business, non-U.S. Partners in the Fund would also be deemed to be so engaged by virtue of their ownership of the Interests. In that event, a non-U.S. investor would be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return for that year and pay tax on its income and gain that is effectively connected with that U.S. trade or business at the tax rates applicable to similarly situated U.S. persons. In addition, any non-U.S. investor that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be required to pay a branch profits tax equal to 30% of the dividend equivalent amount for the taxable year. The Fund would also be required to withhold taxes on any income and gain effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business that is allocable to that non-U.S. investor under Section 1446 of the Code.

Even assuming that the Fund is not engaged in, or deemed to be engaged in, a U.S. trade or business, non-U.S. investors will be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax on the gross amount of their allocable share of Fund income that is (i) U.S. source interest income that falls outside the portfolio interest exception or other available exception to withholding tax, (ii) U.S. source dividend income or dividend equivalent payments; and (iii) any other U.S. source fixed or determinable annual or periodical gains, profits, or income.

Non-U.S. investors who are resident alien individuals of the United States (generally, individuals lawfully admitted for permanent residence, or who have a substantial presence, in the United States) or for whom their allocable share of Fund income and gain, and the gain realized on the sale or disposition of a Fund interest is otherwise effectively connected with their conduct of a U.S. trade or business will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation on the income and gains.

In addition, in the case of a Partner who is non-resident alien individual, any allocable share of capital gains will be subject to a 30% U.S. federal income tax (or lower treaty rate if applicable) if (i) that individual is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year; and (ii) that gain is derived from U.S. sources. Although the source of that gain is generally determined by the place of residence of the non-U.S. investors, resulting in that gain being treated as derived from non-U.S. sources, source may be determined with respect to certain other criteria resulting in that gain being treated as derived from U.S. sources. In addition, that gain will be treated as derived from U.S. sources if it is attributable to an office or other fixed place of business in the United States maintained by that non-U.S. investor. For this purpose, an office or other fixed place of business of the Fund will be attributed to that non-U.S. investor. Investors who are non-resident alien individuals should consult their tax advisers with respect to the application of these rules to their investment in the Fund.

The Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act requires certain foreign entities to enter into an agreement with the Secretary of the Treasury to disclose to the IRS the name, address and tax identification number of certain U.S. persons who own an interest in the foreign entity and require certain other foreign entities to provide certain other information to avoid a 30% withholding tax on certain payments of U.S. source income and certain payments of proceeds from the sale of property that could give rise to U.S. source interest or dividends. The IRS has released regulations that provide for the phased implementation of the foregoing withholding and reporting requirements. Accordingly, certain non-U.S. investors may be subject to a 30% withholding tax in respect of certain of the Fund's investments if they fail to enter into an agreement with the Secretary of the Treasury or otherwise fail to satisfy their obligations under the legislation. Non-U.S. investors are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisers regarding the possible implications of this legislation on an investment in the Fund.

**The tax aspects of the Fund summarized above are general in nature, and this discussion is not intended to include a complete explanation of the federal income tax results of investing in the Fund. Each prospective investor should consult with its own tax adviser for detailed information.**

**To ensure compliance with IRS Circular 230, investors are hereby notified that (i) any discussion of federal tax issues in this Memorandum is not intended or written to be relied on, and cannot be relied on by any investor or any other person, for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed under the Code; (ii) that discussion is written to support the promotion or marketing (within the meaning of IRS Circular 230) of the transactions or matters addressed herein; and** **(iii) each investor should seek advice based on the investor's particular circumstances from an independent tax adviser.**

VI. INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

An investment in the Fund involves a significant amount of risk and is suitable only for sophisticated investors of substantial means who have no immediate need for liquidity in the amount invested, and who understand and can afford a risk of loss of all or a substantial part of the investment. There can be no assurance that any returns will be realized or that a Partner will receive a return of its capital. In addition, potential investors should be aware that there will be occasions when the Manager, the Manager, Adviser and their affiliates may encounter potential conflicts of interest in connection with the structure and operation of the Fund. None of the agreements and arrangements between the Fund and the Manager, the Manager, the Adviser and their affiliates, including the compensation payable by the Fund to the Manager, the Manager, the Adviser or their affiliates, are the result of arm's-length negotiations. Accordingly, potential investors should carefully consider the following risk factors, among others, before making an investment in the Fund.

VII. INVESTMENT RISKS

**THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS DO NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE EXPLANATION OF ALL OF THE RISKS INVOLVED IN THIS OFFERING. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE MEMORANDUM AND CONSULT WITH THEIR COUNSEL BEFORE DETERMINING TO INVEST IN THE FUND.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Risks Associated with Investment Strategy and Portfolio Company Securities

While venture capital investments offer the opportunity for significant gains, those investments also involve a high degree of business and financial risk and can result in substantial or total losses. There generally will be little or no publicly available information regarding the status and prospects of a Portfolio Company. Many investment decisions by the Manager, in consultation with the Adviser, will be dependent upon the ability to obtain relevant information from non-public sources, and the Manager or Adviser may be required to make decisions without complete information or in reliance upon information provided by third parties that is impossible or impracticable to verify. The marketability and value of each investment will depend upon many factors beyond the Manager's control. A Portfolio Company may have substantial variations in operating results from period to period, face intense competition, and experience failures or substantial declines in value at any stage. The public market for technology and other emerging growth companies is extremely volatile. Volatility may adversely affect the development of a Portfolio Company, the ability of the Fund to dispose of investments and the value of investment securities on the date of sale or distribution by the Fund. In particular, the receptiveness of the public market to initial public offerings by a Portfolio Company may vary dramatically from period to period. An otherwise successful Portfolio Company may yield poor investment returns if it is unable to consummate an initial public offering at the proper time. Even if a Portfolio Company effects a successful public offering, the Portfolio Company Securities may be subject to contractual "*lock-up*," securities law or other restrictions which may, for a material period of time, prevent the Fund or the Partners from disposing of those securities. Similarly, the receptiveness of potential acquirers to a Portfolio Company will vary over time and, even if a Portfolio Company investment is disposed of via a merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the Fund's stock, security or other interests in the surviving entity may not be marketable. There can be no guarantee that any Portfolio Company investment will result in a liquidity event via public offering, merger, acquisition or otherwise. Generally, the investments made by the Fund will be illiquid and difficult to value, and there will be little or no collateral to protect an investment once made. At the time of the Fund's investment, a Portfolio Company may lack one or more key attributes (*e.g.*, proven technology, marketable product, complete management team or strategic alliances) necessary for success. In most cases, investments will be long term in nature and may require many years from the date of initial investment before disposition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Limited Information

Only limited information has been or will be made available to investors, the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates regarding the Portfolio Company Securities. Neither the Fund, the Manager nor any of their affiliates is able to verify the veracity of any information of the Portfolio Company Securities that is publicly available, and neither the Fund, the Manager nor any of their affiliates makes any representation or warranty that such data or information is complete, correct or accurately reflective of the Portfolio Company Securities to which it relates. In addition, neither the Fund, the Manager nor any of their affiliates has conducted any independent diligence on the Portfolio Company Securities, other than investigation and analysis of publicly available information. Partners considering an investment in the Fund must be aware that there is a risk that: (i) there are facts or circumstances pertaining to the Portfolio Company or that the public (including the Manager) and the investor are not aware of; and (ii) publicly available information concerning the Portfolio Company or upon which the Fund relies may prove to be inaccurate, and as a result of (i) or (ii), the investor may suffer a partial or complete loss on its investment. The Manager does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any publicly sourced information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Reliance on Portfolio Company Management

Although the Fund, the Manager or their affiliates may seek representation on the Board of Directors of a Portfolio Company or otherwise provide management and strategic planning assistance, the Fund will not have an active role in the day-to-day management of the companies in which it invests. To the extent that the senior management of a Portfolio Company performs poorly, or if a key manager of a Portfolio Company terminates employment, the Fund's investment in that company could be adversely affected. The returns of the Fund will depend in large part on the performance of these unrelated individuals and could be substantially adversely affected by the unfavorable performance of a small number of those individuals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. Availability of Investment Capital

A Portfolio Company will likely require several rounds of capital infusions before reaching maturity. The Fund and its co-investors may not provide any or only a portion of the necessary follow-on capital to a Portfolio Company. Accordingly, third-party sources of financing may be required. There is no assurance that the additional sources of financing will be available, or, if available, will be on terms beneficial to the Fund. Furthermore, the Fund's capital is limited and may not be adequate to protect the Fund from dilution resulting from multiple rounds of portfolio company financings. If the Fund does not have capital available to participate in subsequent rounds of financing, failure to participate may have a significant negative impact on a Portfolio Company as well as the value of the Fund's investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. Risks Associated with Passive Investments

Although the Fund will be making venture capital investments through a passive strategy, all venture capital investments are speculative in nature, and the possibility of partial or total loss of capital will exist. The Manager will have little control over the day-to-day management of a Portfolio Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. Risk Associated with Indirect Investments

The Fund may invest in a Portfolio Company which was formed with the primary purpose of investing in and holding the Securities of another private company. Such investment structure may present relevant risks, as they relate to:

● Lack of management and/or rights over Portfolio Company;

● Corporate governance issues inherent in minority investments in limited liability companies;

● Additional fees, expenses and carried interest that may be charged against the limited partners by Portfolio Company, its management company or Manager;

● Lack of direct communication with the ultimate private company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f. Risk Inherent in Investing in an Offshore Portfolio Company.

A Portfolio Company may be organized offshore, such as under the laws of the British Virgin Islands where its main place of business would be in the British Virgin Islands. Investing in a legal entity headquartered outside of the United States may present significant risks. Among such risks, other jurisdictions may not afford investors and minority shareholders the same level of protection as most U.S. states. Similarly, the enforcement of any legal rights against the Portfolio Company may be negatively impacted by its status as an offshore entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g. Non-controlling Investments

The Fund will typically hold a non-controlling interest in a Portfolio Company and will have limited ability to direct the actions of that company's Board of Directors in order to better protect or manage its investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h. Contingent Liabilities on Disposition of Investments

In connection with the disposition of an investment in a Portfolio Company, the Fund may be required to make representations about the business and financial affairs of that company typical of those made in connection with the sale of a business. The Fund may be required to indemnify the purchasers of that investment to the extent that any of those representations are inaccurate. These arrangements may result in the incurrence of contingent liabilities for which the Manager may establish reserves and escrows. In that regard, distributions may be delayed or withheld or, if made, may be subject to recall until that reserve is no longer needed. Furthermore, under the Delaware Revised Uniform Partnership Act (the "Act"), each Partner that receives a distribution in violation of the Act will be obligated, under certain circumstances, to re-contribute that distribution to the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. Valuation

There can be no assurance that the purchase price for any particular Portfolio Company reasonably represents the fair market value of such securities as determined by a qualified appraiser or any other party. There can be no assurance that the projected value of any Portfolio Company accurately represents the value of such security at such point in time, or that methodologies used to determine such value will be reasonable for such purpose at such point in time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j. Availability and Identification of Suitable Portfolio Companies

The Fund's ability to achieve its Investment Objectives depends upon the availability of Portfolio Companies deemed to be suitable for investment, as well as the performance of the Manager in the acquisition of suitable investments. If the Fund is unable to find suitable investments, the Fund may hold the proceeds from this offering in an interest-bearing account; or invest the proceeds from this offering in short-term assets; or otherwise make such alternative investments as deemed by the Manager to be in the best interest of the Fund. Should the Fund continue to be unsuccessful in locating suitable investments, the Fund may ultimately decide to liquidate. In the event the Fund is unable to timely locate suitable investments, the Fund's Investment Objectives may not be met; and the Fund may ultimately decide to liquidate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k. Incomplete or Unavailable Information

Except for investments that may be described in supplements to this PPM prior to subscribing for Interests, Members will have no opportunity to evaluate the economic merits or the terms of the Fund's investments before making a decision to invest in the Fund. Members must rely entirely on the management abilities of the Manager. There are no assurances that the Manager will be successful in obtaining suitable investments on financially attractive terms or that, if the Manager makes investments on the Fund's behalf, the investment objectives will be achieved. These factors increase the risk that an investment may not generate expected returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Risk Inherent in Investing Through a Delaware Master-Series Membership

Under Delaware law, a Membership ("***LP***") may be composed of individual series of partnership interests. This type of entity is referred to as a Series LP. The Fund has been created as a series of the Master LP. Each series effectively is treated as a separate entity, meaning the debts; liabilities, obligations and expenses of one series cannot be enforced against another series of the LP or against the LP as a whole. Each series can hold its own assets, have its own partners, conduct its own operations and pursue different business objectives, but remain insulated from claims of partners, creditors or litigants pursuing the assets of or asserting claims against another series. There is a certain degree of uncertainty surrounding the Series LP form. For example, the legal separation of the assets and liabilities of each series in a Series LP has not been tested in court. Although Delaware law clearly provides for legal separation of series, it is unclear whether courts in other states and/or jurisdictions would recognize a legal separation of assets and liabilities within what is technically a single entity. Therefore, even if a Delaware Series LP were properly operated with distinct records relating to the assets and liabilities of each series, a court in another jurisdiction could determine not to recognize the legal separation afforded under Delaware law. There is also uncertainty as to how the IRS will treat the separation of Series LPs for tax purposes. The IRS has reserved the right to impose the tax liability of one series onto a master entity or another series under the master entity. The tax treatment of the series is also unclear. It is possible that the debts, liabilities, and other obligations of one series of the master entity may lead to action against another series of the master entity. There would be a material effect on the Fund if various series of the Master LP are not treated as separate entities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. General Investment Risks

The types of investments that the Fund anticipates making involve a high degree of risk. In general, financial and operating risks confronting companies such as the Portfolio Companies can be significant. While targeted returns should reflect the perceived level of risk in any investment situation, there can be no assurance that the Fund will be adequately compensated for risks taken. A loss of a Member's entire investment is possible. The timing of profit realization is also highly uncertain. Losses are likely to occur early in the Fund's term, while successes often require a long maturation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Reliance on the Manager, its Affiliates and the Principal

The Fund's success will depend on the Manager's, its affiliates' and service provider's ability to implement and manage the Fund's investment program and related equity investments. Members will be relying on the Manager to identify, structure and implement investments consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and policies and to conduct the business of the Fund as contemplated by the Partnership Agreement. The Members generally will not make decisions with respect to the management, disposition or other realization of any investment made by the Fund, or other decisions regarding the Fund's business and affairs. The Members will not receive the detailed financial information issued by a Portfolio Company that will be available to the Manager. Accordingly, the Members will not have the opportunity to evaluate the relevant economic, financial and other information that will be utilized by the Manager and its Affiliates in their implantation of the Fund's investment program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. The Portfolio Company Information

The Fund's returns on its investments will depend on the Manager's decisions with respect to the Fund's investments in the Portfolio Companies. In making its decisions, the Manager and its affiliates and/or service providers may rely on information and data provided and prepared by third parties, including the Portfolio Company and others, such as third parties who provide origination and due diligence support. Although the Manager, Adviser and/or other service providers intend to evaluate the accuracy and importance of such information and data, it will not always be in a position to confirm the completeness, genuineness, or accuracy of such information and data. The Manager will use valuation procedures that the Manager believes are fair and accurate. However, these procedures are subjective in nature, may not conform to any particular industry standards (if any such industry standards exist) and may not reflect actual values at which the investments are ultimately realized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. Financial Projections

Financial information concerning investments and the terms on which they are made may only be available through certain sources, including the Portfolio Company itself. There may be no consistent means, however, of confirming the accuracy of such information. The inaccuracy of certain assumptions and general economic conditions, which are unpredictable, can have a materially adverse impact on the reliability of any financial projections concerning the Portfolio Company. There can be no assurance that any financial projections can be accurately projected, and actual results may vary significantly from any such financial projections.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. The Portfolio Company Financial Results

The Portfolio Company's financial results will be affected by many factors, including (i) the ability to successfully identify a market or markets in which there is a need for its products; (ii) the ability to successfully negotiate strategic alliances, licensing and other relationships for product development, marketing, distribution and sales; (iii) the progress of research and development programs with respect to the development of additional products and enhancements to existing products; (iv) the ability to protect proprietary rights; and (v) competing technological and market developments, particularly companies that have substantially greater resources. There can be no assurance that the Portfolio Company will be able to achieve and maintain cost efficient operations or that any of the products or services will achieve a significant level of market acceptance. The development and commercialization of their products or services will require additional development, sales and marketing and other significant expenditures. The required level and timing of such expenditures will impact their ability to achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operations at the levels projected, or at all. There can be no assurance that the Portfolio Company will ever achieve significant commercial revenues or profitability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**f. Risks Associated with Management of Growth**

To achieve its projected revenues and other targeted operating results, the Portfolio Company may be required to rapidly implement and improve operational, financial and management control systems on a timely basis, together with maintaining effective cost controls, and any failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on their business, financial condition and results of operations. The success of their growth plans will depend in part upon their ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate key personnel. Failure to make the required expansions and upgrades could have a material adverse effect on their business, financial condition, results of operations and relationships with their corporate partners. The results of operations for the companies will also be adversely affected if revenues do not increase sufficiently to compensate for the increase in operating expenses resulting from any expansion and there can be no assurance that any expansion will be profitable or will not adversely affect their results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g. Reliance on the Portfolio Company Management

The day-to-day operations of the Portfolio Company will be the responsibility of its own management team. Although the Manager, its Affiliates and the Principal will monitor the performance of Investments and will screen for and, if necessary, recruit capable management, there can be no assurance that such management will be able to operate the Portfolio Company in accordance with the Fund's expectations. In addition, the loss to the Portfolio Company of a member of its management team could be detrimental to the development of the Portfolio Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h. Market Uncertainties

Even if the Portfolio Company's product and service development efforts are successful, their ultimate success will depend upon market acceptance of the concepts, the products and the services. the Portfolio Company may not have engaged in any formal market research studies with respect to the establishment of a market for its products. There can be no assurance that performance errors and deficiencies will not be found, or if found, that they will be able to successfully correct such performance errors and deficiencies in a timely manner or at all. Even if the concepts gain initial market acceptance, competitors are likely to introduce concepts with comparable price and performance characteristics. This competition may result in reduced future market acceptance for their products and decreasing sales and lower gross margins which could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Fund and the Portfolio Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. No Assurance of Additional Capital for Investments

Even if the Portfolio Company is successful in generating revenues and expanding its service offerings, it may require additional financing to continue product and service development, testing and, ultimately, marketing and other operational activities. Moreover, its cash requirements may vary materially due to service development results, service testing results, changing relationships with strategic partners, changes in the focus and direction of its research and development programs, competitive and technological advances of competitors, and other factors.

Additional financing may not be available when needed or on acceptable terms. If additional financing is not available, the Portfolio Company may need to delay, scale back or eliminate certain of its product development, marketing or other activities, or even be forced to cease operations and liquidate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j. Limitations on Ability to Exit Investments

The Manager and its Affiliates expect to exit from the Fund's Investments through private sales (including acquisitions of the Portfolio Company by third parties) and through a public offering. At any particular time, any one of these avenues may not be open to the Fund, or timing with respect to these exit mechanisms may be inopportune. As such, the ability to exit from and liquidate portfolio holdings may be constrained at any particular time. The Fund's Investments may also not be advantageously disposed of prior to the date that the Fund will be wound-up and dissolved, either by expiration of the Fund's term or otherwise. The Fund may have to sell, distribute or otherwise dispose of investments at a disadvantageous time as a result of dissolution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k. Risks from the Provision of Managerial Assistance

The Fund may, if requested by the Portfolio Company, designate directors to serve on the boards of directors of the Portfolio Company. A board member designated by the Fund will likely owe fiduciary duties to persons other than the Fund. The designation of directors and other measures contemplated could expose the assets of the Fund to claims by the Portfolio Company, its security holders and its creditors for breaches of fiduciary duties, securities claims and other director- related claims. The exercise of control over the Portfolio Company imposes additional risks of liability for failure to supervise management, violation of governmental regulations and other types of liability for which the limited liability generally characteristic of business ownership may be ignored. If these liabilities were to occur, the Fund could suffer losses in its Investments. Typically, the Portfolio Company will have insurance to protect directors and officers, but this insurance may be inadequate. The Fund will also indemnify the Manager, its Affiliates, their respective owners, and the Principal, among others, for liabilities incurred in connection with operations of the Fund, including liabilities arising from such suits. Such indemnification obligations and other liabilities could be substantial. While the Manager and its Affiliates intend to manage the Fund in a way that will minimize exposure to these risks, the possibility of successful claims cannot be precluded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;l. Limited Portfolio Diversification

The Fund intends to participate in a significantly small number of investments in a single company and, as a consequence, the aggregate return of the Fund may be adversely affected by the unfavorable performance of even a single Investment. Furthermore, to the extent that the capital raised is less than the targeted amount, the Fund may make fewer Investments and thus be even less diversified. A downturn of the economy or in the business the Portfolio Company will almost certainly impact the aggregate returns delivered to the Members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;m. Contingent Liabilities on Disposition of Investments

In connection with the disposition of an Investment, the Fund may be required to make representations about the Portfolio Company's business and financial affairs typical of those made in connection with the sale of a business. The Fund may be required to indemnify the purchasers of such investment to the extent that any such representations are inaccurate. These arrangements may result in the incurrence of contingent liabilities for which the Manager may establish reserves and escrows. In that regard, distributions may be delayed or withheld until such reserve is no longer needed or the escrow period expires.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;n. Redemption or Dividend Policy

The Portfolio Company may, but is not expected to, repurchase its securities or to pay dividends to stockholders such as the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o. General Economic and Market Conditions

The success of the Fund's activities may be materially affected by general economic and market conditions, including interest rates, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, availability of credit, financial market volatility, changes in laws and national and international political circumstances. The stability and sustainability of growth in global economies may be impacted by terrorism or acts of war. The availability, unavailability or hindered operation of external credit markets, equity markets and other economic systems which the Fund may depend upon to achieve its objectives may have a significant negative impact on the Fund's operations and profitability. There can be no assurance that such markets and economic systems will be available or will be available as anticipated or needed for the Fund to operate successfully. These factors may adversely impact the performance and growth prospects for the Portfolio Company and its ability to execute on its business plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;p. Absence of Liquidity

The Investments will be private, illiquid holdings. As such, there will be no public markets for the securities held by the Fund and no readily available liquidity mechanism at any particular time for any of the Investments held by the Fund. In addition, the realization of value from any Investments will not be possible or known with any certainty until the Manager elects to sell the Fund's Investments and subsequently distribute the proceeds to its investors or to distribute securities to investors in lieu of cash. Consequently, the Members will bear the economic risks of their investment for the term of the Fund with no certainty of return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;q. No Assurance of Returns

There can be no assurance that the Members will receive distributions from the Fund in an amount equal to their investment in the Fund as the Fund's investments in the Portfolio Company are speculative and can result in the partial or total loss of capital. Investment in the Portfolio Company involves a high degree of risk. The Portfolio Company may face intense competition, including competition from companies with greater financial resources, more extensive development, manufacturing, marketing and service capabilities and a larger number of qualified managerial personnel. Since the Fund will only make a limited number of Investments and since many of the Fund's investments may involve a high degree of risk, poor performance by a few of the Investments will almost certainly severely affect the total returns to investors.

The Fund's operating costs, including the Management Fee payable to the Manager, may exceed the Fund's income, thereby requiring the difference to be paid out of the Fund's capital account. It is possible these losses may never be recovered. The timing of profit realization, if any, is highly uncertain. Losses on unsuccessful investments may be realized before gains are realized on successful investments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;r. The Use of Reserves May Reduce Net Cash Flow

The Fund may set aside reserves from time to time in anticipation of making capital expenditures or paying potential Fund expenses in the future. The practice of setting aside reserves effectively reduces the Fund's net cash flow which otherwise may have been distributed to Members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;s. Forward-Looking Statements

This Offering involves the use of forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions on the part of the Fund regarding the Portfolio Company's competitive advantages and disadvantages, the Fund's ability to raise the needed capital in future marketplaces, and potential customer interest in the Portfolio Company's products and services. As such, these forward-looking statements may not accurately project the Fund's future economic situation, nor the future economic situation of the Portfolio Company, and potential investors must use caution and their own judgment in evaluating such statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Risk Relating to Digital Assets

For the avoidance of doubt, Portfolio Company Securities may include tokens, cryptocurrencies, blockchain-based assets, and other digital assets based on a computer-generated cryptographic protocol ("***Digital Assets***"), or rights or agreements to acquire the same, acquired by the Fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of whether such Digital Assets constitute securities for purposes of applicable securities laws.

The Fund may invest in Digital Assets, which involve significant additional risk factors that Partners should consider carefully before investing in the Fund, including, without limitation, the following:

**Regulatory changes or actions may alter the nature of, or restrict the use of, Digital Assets in a manner that adversely affects an investment by the Fund.**

Digital Assets have only recently been the subject of domestic and foreign regulatory focus and currently face an uncertain regulatory landscape in not only the United States but also in many foreign jurisdictions such as the European Union, China and Russia. Many significant regulatory authorities have yet to comprehensively address the regulation of Digital Assets. The effect of any future change in the regulation or taxation of Digital Assets is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and adverse to the value of any Digital Assets held by the Fund. For example, to the extent that a Digital Asset is determined to be a security, commodity interest or other regulated asset, or to the extent that a United States or foreign governmental or quasi-governmental agency exerts regulatory authority over the trading and ownership of such Digital Asset, the liquidity and value of such Digital Asset may be adversely affected. In addition, uncertainties regarding the accounting and tax treatment of the acquisition, holding or disposition of Digital Assets could have a material adverse effect on the Fund's returns to investors.

**If an active, liquid trading market for any Digital Assets held by the Fund does not develop, the Fund's returns to investors would be adversely affected.**

At the time the Fund invests in any Digital Assets, no market for such Digital Assets will exist. There can be no assurance whether any such Digital Assets will be listed on any cryptocurrency exchanges or, even if they are, whether an active liquid trading market in such Digital Assets will develop. Moreover, regulatory actions could impede the development of trading markets in Digital Assets. If an active liquid trading market in any Digital Assets held by the Fund does not develop, the Fund may not be able to sell such Digital Assets at times and prices advantageous to the Fund, if at all.

**Volatility in the price of Digital Assets may adversely affect the Fund's return on any investment it makes in Digital Assets.**

As relatively new products and technologies with, in many cases, limited commercial adoption, a significant portion of demand for Digital Assets may be generated by speculators and investors seeking to profit from the short- or long-term holding of such assets. Consequently, most Digital Assets have been subject to a high degree of price volatility, which could adversely affect the value of the Fund's investment in Digital Assets. Moreover, the price paid by the Fund for any Digital Asset in private pre-sales may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in any trading market that may develop for such Digital Asset, which may be substantially lower than the price paid by the Fund.

**Factors affecting the growth and adoption of cryptocurrencies generally may adversely affect the value of the Fund's Digital Asset investments.**

The growth of the cryptocurrency industry in general, and of any Digital Assets acquired by the Fund in particular, is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The value of any Digital Assets acquired by the Fund will depend on the development and adoption of such Digital Assets and any related network and applications, the success of which is highly uncertain. Moreover, a decline in the popularity or acceptance of cryptocurrencies generally would likely harm the value of any Digital Assets held by the Fund. Factors affecting the further development of this industry, include, but are not limited to:

● continued worldwide growth in the adoption and use of Digital Assets;

● governmental and quasi-governmental regulation of Digital Assets;

● development, adoption and regulation of supporting services and platforms facilitating Digital Asset use; and

● consumer perception of Digital Assets generally.

In addition, a Digital Assets may be built on top of public blockchains, such as Ethereum, that are not controlled by the developers of the Digital Asset. Changes and upgrades to the code utilized by the blockchain on which a Digital Asset exists, including changes in how transactions are confirmed, how new blocks are created or how transaction costs are calculated, may occur at any time before or after the development of such Digital Asset and may cause delays in development or adoption of such Digital Asset or have other unanticipated impacts that could negatively affect the Fund's returns to investors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Operating Risks

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***a. Start-Up Risk***

 ****

Since the Fund is a new business, it is exposed to start-up risk. The Fund will encounter a start-up period during which it will incur certain risks relating to the investment of its assets and may commence operations at an unfavorable time. Moreover, the start-up period also represents a special risk because the level of diversification of the Fund's investments may be lower than in a fully committed portfolio. The Manager may employ different strategies for moving to a fully committed portfolio. These strategies will be based in part on a judgment of market conditions. No assurance can be given that these strategies will be successful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***b. Lack of Operating History***

The Fund is newly formed and has not commenced operations upon which investors can evaluate the likely performance of the Fund. There can be no guarantee or assurance that any past success will transition to the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***c. No Financials***

The Fund will not provide any financials to the Partners.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***d. No Assurance of Profit or Distributions***

The Fund's follow-on investment strategy in startups, ideas, technologies and generally unproven companies, managing those investments, and realizing a significant return for investors is uncertain and unlikely. Many organizations operated by persons of competence and integrity have been unable to make, manage and realize these investments successfully. There is no assurance that the Fund's investments will be profitable or that any distributions will be made to the Partners. The marketability and value of any investment will depend upon many factors beyond the control of the Fund. The expenses of the Fund may exceed its income, and the Partners could lose the entire amount of their contributed capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***e. Long-Term Investment***

An investment in the Fund is a long-term commitment and there is no assurance of any distribution to the Partners. There is not now and there is not expected to be a public market for the Interests. The Interests may not be assigned, transferred or encumbered without the prior written consent of the Manager. Accordingly, a Partner may not be able to liquidate its investment and must be prepared to bear the risks of owning its Interest for an extended period of time. The Interests will not be registered under the Securities Act, or under the various "*Blue Sky*" or securities laws of the state or jurisdiction of residence of any Partner. The inability to transfer Interests in the Fund may limit the availability of estate planning strategies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***f. Management of the Fund/Due Diligence and Dependence on the Manager***

The Partners have no right or power to take part in the management of the Fund. Accordingly, the Partners will have no opportunity to control the day-to-day operations, including investment and disposition decisions, of the Fund. The Partners will not receive the detailed financial information issued by a Portfolio Company or that is typically available to the Manager. Further, there can be no assurance that the Manager's due diligence processes will uncover all relevant facts that would be material to an investment decision. Before making an investment, the Manager will assess the strength of the underlying Portfolio Companies and any other factors believed material to the investment. In making the assessment and otherwise conducting customary due diligence, the Manager will rely on the resources available to them and, in some cases, investigations by third parties - including the Adviser. Accordingly, no person should purchase Interests unless that person is willing to entrust all aspects of the management of the Fund to the Manager. The Manager may be removed and/or replaced as provided in the Operating Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***g. Risk Inherent in Reliance on the Manager and other Third Parties***

The Manager will rely heavily on the advice of the Manager, the Adviser, and other third-party service providers when making decisions on what Portfolio Company Securities to purchase or dispose of at certain prices on behalf of the Fund. There can be no assurance that any recommendations from these third parties will result in profitable investments of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***h. Consequences of Failure to Make Contribution in Full***

The failure of a Partner to respond to its commitment may result in the forfeiture of all or a substantial portion of that Partner's then-existing Interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***i. Fund Not Registered***

The Fund is not expected to be registered under the Investment Company Act pursuant to an exemption set forth in Section 3(c)(1) and/or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act. The Investment Company Act provides certain protection to investors and imposes certain restrictions on registered investment companies (including, for example, limitations on the ability of registered investment companies to incur debt), none of which will be applicable to the Fund. The Manager is not registered as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "***Exchange Act***"), or with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("***FINRA***") and is consequently not subject to the record keeping and specific business practice provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules of FINRA. Neither the Fund nor its counsel can assure investors that, under certain conditions, changed circumstances, or changes in the law, the Fund may not become subject to the Investment Company Act or other burdensome regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***j. No Registered Investment Adviser***

Neither the Manager, Adviser, nor any of their respective affiliates, are a state or SEC registered investment adviser under the U.S. Investment advisers Act of 1940.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***k. Litigation Risks***

The Fund will be subject to a variety of litigation risks, particularly in consequence of the substantial likelihood that a Portfolio Company will face financial or other difficulties during the Term of the Fund's investment. The Fund may also participate in Portfolio Company financings at implicit Portfolio Company valuations lower than the valuations implicit in preceding rounds of financing. In the event of a dispute arising from any of the foregoing activities (or other activities relating to the operation of the Fund or the Manager), it is possible that the Fund, the Manager or its Partners may be named as defendants. Under most circumstances, the Fund will indemnify the Manager and its Partners for any costs they incur in connection with those disputes. Beyond direct costs, those disputes may adversely affect the Fund in a variety of ways, including by distracting the Manager and harming relationships between the Fund and a Portfolio Company or other investors in a Portfolio Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***l. Recourse to the Fund's Assets***

The Fund's assets, including any investments made by the Fund and a Portfolio Company held by the Fund, are available to satisfy all liabilities and other obligations of the Fund. If the Fund becomes subject to a liability, parties seeking to have the liability satisfied may have recourse to the Fund's assets generally and will not be limited to any particular assets, such as the asset representing the investment giving rise to the liability. Accordingly, Partners could find their interest in the Fund's assets adversely affected by a liability arising out of an investment of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***m. Allocation of Management Resources***

Although the Manager has agreed under the terms of the Operating Agreement to devote sufficient time (in their discretion) to the business and affairs of the Manager, the Fund, its other respective business commitments, any parallel fund, and any Successor Fund, conflicts may arise in the allocation of management resources.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***n. Other Investment Funds***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***o. Investments by Manager in Portfolio Companies***

The Manager or its affiliates may hold an interest in a Portfolio Company including, but not limited to, a direct investment in Portfolio Company Securities and an indirect investment in the Securities (made by the Portfolio Company). Holding that interest would require the time and attention of the Manager or its affiliates. In those situations, the interests of the Manager or its affiliates may conflict with the interests of the Fund, the Partners or both.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***p. Waiver of Fiduciary Duties; Exculpation and Indemnification***

Partners will be relying on the good-faith integrity of the Manager in all of their dealings with the Fund. The Operating Agreement grants the Manager broad discretion as to many matters and contains provisions that relieve the Manager and its members of liability for certain improper acts or omissions. **The Manager does not, and will not owe any fiduciary duties of any kind whatsoever to the Fund, or to any of the Partners, by virtue of its role as the Manager, including, but not limited to, the duties of due care and loyalty, whether those duties were established as of the date of this Agreement or any time in future, and whether established under common law, at equity or legislatively defined**. For example, the Manager and its members generally will not be liable to the Partners or the Fund for acts or omissions that constitute ordinary negligence, for conflicts of interest or for engaging in related transactions. Moreover, the Fund will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Manager from and against virtually all liabilities other than those arising out of acts or omissions made in fraud or constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. Under certain circumstances, the Fund may even indemnify the Manager and its members against liability to third parties resulting from those improper acts or omissions. By signing the Subscription Agreement and entering into the Operating Agreement, each Partner acknowledges and consents to the exercise of the Manager's discretion, including when the Manager has a conflict of interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***q. Fees and Expenses***

The Fund must pay its own fees and expenses. It will be necessary for the Fund to achieve gains in excess of these aggregate fees and costs in order for Partners to realize an increase in their Capital Accounts. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to achieve such, or any, appreciation of its assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***r. Other Activities and Clients of Adviser***

The Adviser and its affiliates may manage other accounts and other collective investment vehicles, including entities that pursue the same or similar investment objectives and strategies as the Fund. These accounts may employ different or similar strategies and could increase the level of competition for the same positions that the Fund might otherwise make. The Adviser and its affiliates may employ investment methods, policies and strategies for its clients that differ from those under which the Fund operates. Therefore, the results of the Fund's activities may differ from those of the Adviser's other accounts. Moreover, the Adviser, its principals and their affiliates also may invest for their own accounts and those investments may be similar to or different from those investments made by the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***s. Limitations on Transferability***

Partners may not assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of their Interests without written notice to the Manager and the Manager's prior written consent, which the Manager does not, in general, intend to give. There will be no market for the Interests. Consequently, Partners generally will not be able to liquidate their investment in the Fund.

The Fund may be required to liquidate investments before the Manager otherwise would have chosen to do so in order to obtain sufficient cash to satisfy withdrawals. In such an event, the Fund's overall rate of return on its investments may be adversely affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***t. Limited Liquidity; No Current Income***

An investment in the Fund is relatively illiquid and is not suitable for an investor who needs immediate liquidity. There is no public market for Interests and the Partnership Agreement imposes significant limitations on Members' abilities to transfer their Interests. The Manager's consent is a condition to any transfer or assignment, and such consent is within its sole discretion. If, as a result of some change in circumstances arising from an event not presently contemplated, a Member wishes to transfer all or part of his Interest, and even if all conditions to such a transfer are met, he may find no transferee for his Interest due to market conditions or the general illiquidity of the Interests. Accordingly, the Fund interests may generally only be disposed of through the withdrawal procedures set forth in the Partnership Agreement. In addition, rights to withdraw capital from the Fund are subject to several limitations. For example, a Member is restricted from making any withdrawals from his or her Capital Account for an initial thirteen-month Lock-up Period starting with the date of the Member's initial Capital Contribution. Thereafter, a Member generally may withdraw capital only as of the last day of a calendar quarter by giving not less than 30 days prior written notice to the Manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***u. Forced Withdrawal***

The Manager has the right, in its sole discretion, to cause the Fund to distribute to a Partner all or any portion of such Partner's Capital Account, thereby redeeming all or any portion of such Partner's Interests, with fifteen (15) days' notice in writing. In addition, the Manager has the right, in its sole discretion, without notice and retroactively, to cause the withdrawal of all or any portion of a Partner's Interest in the event that the Manager has reason to believe that (i) the Partner is an Employee Benefit Plan and such withdrawal is necessary in order to avoid having the assets of the Fund being treated as Plan Assets (as defined in "ERISA"); (ii) the Partner acquired its Interests as a result of a misrepresentation; or (iii) the Partner's ownership of an Interest would cause the Fund or the Partner to be in violation of any law or regulation applicable to the Fund or the Partner.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***v. Changing Roles***

Parties currently providing support services to the Fund – including the Manager, Administrative Manager and/or Adviser, may withdraw or be removed from such role(s) during the term of the Fund, and replaced with other third-party vendors at such time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***w. Legal Representation***

The Fund has received legal counsel in connection with the drafting of this Memorandum. The legal representation is limited to specific matters with respect to which it has been retained and consulted by the Fund. There may exist facts and circumstances which could have a bearing on the Fund (including, without limitation, on its financial condition, operations and investments) and the Manager as to which legal counsel has been neither retained nor consulted and for which it expressly disclaims any responsibility. The Fund's legal counsel does not undertake to monitor the compliance of the Fund or the Manager with the investment objective and strategy, the investment guidelines and other guidelines and procedures set forth in this Memorandum or the Operating Agreement.

Such legal counsel does not represent prospective investors in connection with this offering. Prospective investors are advised to consult their own independent counsel with respect to the legal and tax implications of an investment in Interests. *Prospective investors must recognize that, as they have had no representation in the organization process, the terms of the Fund relating to investors and the Interests were not negotiated at arm's length and are advised to consult their own independent counsel with respect to the legal and tax implications of an investment in Interests*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***x. Non-controlling Investments***

The Fund will typically hold a non-controlling interest in a Portfolio Company and will have limited ability to direct the actions of that company's Board of Directors in order to better protect or manage its investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***y. Contingent Liabilities on Disposition of Investments***

In connection with the disposition of an investment in a Portfolio Company, the Fund may be required to make representations about the business and financial affairs of that company typical of those made in connection with the sale of a business. The Fund may be required to indemnify the purchasers of that investment to the extent that any of those representations are inaccurate. These arrangements may result in the incurrence of contingent liabilities for which the Manager may establish reserves and escrows. In that regard, distributions may be delayed or withheld or, if made, may be subject to recall until that reserve is no longer needed. Furthermore, under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the "Act"), each Partner that receives a distribution in violation of the Act will be obligated, under certain circumstances, to re-contribute that distribution to the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***z. Blind Pool Offering***

The offering is a blind pool offering in that the Fund is not committed to acquire (i) any particular Portfolio Company; (ii) a certain number of Portfolio Companies; or (iii) diversify the types of Portfolio Companies acquired across a certain number of markets. The Fund's Members will not have the opportunity to evaluate prospective acquisitions before they are made, which makes this investment more speculative. Because Members will be unable to evaluate the economic merits of any particular Fund investment or acquisition of any Portfolio Company before it is made, the Fund (and therefore the Members) will have to rely entirely on the ability of the Manager, or other third-party providers to the Fund, to select suitable and successful Portfolio Companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) ***Taxation Risks***

An investment in the Fund may involve complex U.S. federal income tax considerations that will differ for each Partner. Under certain circumstances, the Partners could be required to recognize taxable income in a taxable year for U.S. federal income tax purposes, even if the Fund either has no net profits in that year or has an amount of net profits in that year that is less than that amount of taxable income. Furthermore, the Partners could incur U.S. federal income tax liabilities without receiving from the Fund sufficient distributions to defray those tax liabilities. Partners subject to taxes associated with the Fund's activities will be liable to pay taxes on their allocable shares of the Fund's taxable income. There can be no assurances the Fund will have available cash or that timely Fund distributions will be made to cover those taxes. Accordingly, a Partner may be required to use cash from sources other than the Fund to pay that Partner's allocable share of the Fund's taxable income. Certain risks related to these matters are discussed in Section VI: "Legal and Tax Matters," which Partners should read carefully. The Fund will file an annual information return on IRS Form 1065 and will provide information on Schedule K-1 to each Partner following the close of the Fund's taxable year if deemed necessary by the Manager. In the likely event that the Fund does not receive all of the underlying tax information necessary to prepare the Form 1065 and Schedule K-1 on a timely basis, the Fund will be unable to provide timely final tax information to the Partners. Each Partner will be responsible for the preparation and filing of that Partner's own income tax returns, and Partners should expect to file for extensions for the completions of their U.S. federal, state, local, non-U.S. and other income tax returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***a. Tax Laws***

No assurance can be given that current tax laws, rulings and regulations will not be changed during the life of the Fund. Partners should consult their tax advisers for further information about the tax consequences of purchasing an Interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***b. Withholding and Other Taxes***

The Manager intends to structure the Fund's investments in a manner that is intended to achieve the Fund's investment objectives. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Memorandum to the contrary, there can be no assurance that the structure of any investment will be tax efficient for any particular investor or that any particular tax result will be achieved. In addition, tax reporting requirements may be imposed on Partners under the laws of the jurisdictions in which Partners are liable for taxation or in which the Fund makes investments of Portfolio Company Securities. Partners should consult their own professional advisers with respect to the tax consequences to them of an investment in the Fund. Furthermore, the Fund's returns in respect of its investments may be reduced by withholding or other taxes. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities of corporations and other entities organized outside the United States. Income from those investments included in a Partner's distributive share of Fund income related to those investments may be subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes, which may or may not be reduced or eliminated by an income tax treaty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) ***Risks of Subscribing***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***a. Confidential Information***

 ****

The Operating Agreement will contain confidentiality provisions intended to protect proprietary and other information relating to the Fund and the Portfolio Company. To the extent that the information is publicly disclosed, competitors of the Fund or competitors of its Portfolio Company, and others, may benefit from that information, thereby adversely affecting the Fund, a Portfolio Company and the Manager, and the economic interests of Partners.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***b. Factual Statements***

Certain of the factual statements made in this Memorandum are based upon information from various sources believed by the Manager to be reliable. The Manager and the Fund have not independently verified any of the information and will have no liability for any inaccuracy or inadequacy of the information. In particular, neither legal counsel nor any other party has been engaged to verify any statements relating to the experience, track record, skills, contacts or other attributes of the Manager or to the anticipated future performance of the Fund.

While all the information in this Memorandum is presented by the Manager in good faith, there can be no assurance that explicit or implicit valuations of any securities reflect true fair market value. Similar considerations apply to securities that are otherwise marketable, but held in such large amounts that they could not be sold without overwhelming market demand or otherwise influencing market prices.

During the Term of the Fund, the Manager will provide to the Partners reports and other information regarding the condition and prospects of the Fund. The Manager's duties, obligations and liability to the Partners with respect to the content, completeness and accuracy of the information will be determined solely under the Operating Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***c. Uncertainty of Future Results***

This Memorandum may contain certain financial projections, estimates and other forward-looking information. This information was prepared by the Manager based on its experience in the industry and on assumptions of fact and opinion as to future events which the Manager believed to be reasonable when made. There can be no assurance, however, that assumptions made are accurate, that the financial and other results projected or estimated will be achieved or that similar results will be attainable by the Fund. Prior investment returns are not indicative of future success.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***d. Return of Distributions***

Partners may be required to return amounts distributed to them to finance the Fund's indemnity obligations, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Operating Agreement. Furthermore, under the Act, each Partner that receives a distribution in violation of such Act will, under certain circumstances, be obligated to re-contribute that distribution to the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***e. Definitive Terms and Conditions***

Portions of this Memorandum describe specific terms and conditions expected to be set forth in the Fund's Operating Agreement. The actual terms and conditions set forth in the Operating Agreement may vary materially from those described in this Memorandum for a variety of reasons, including negotiations between the Manager and prospective investors prior to the Fund's Initial Closing as well as formal amendments to the Operating Agreement following that closing. Moreover, the Operating Agreement will contain highly detailed terms and conditions, many of which are not described fully (or at all) in this Memorandum. In all cases, the Fund's Operating Agreement will supersede this Memorandum. Partners are urged to carefully review the Fund's Operating Agreement, and must also be aware that, pursuant to the rules governing amendments set forth in the Operating Agreement, certain types of amendments to the Operating Agreement may be adopted with the consent of less than all Partners or at the Manager's discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***f. Government Regulation***

The offering of Interests has not been registered under the U.S. securities laws or the laws of any applicable jurisdiction. Further, the Fund will not be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Therefore, investors in the Fund do not have the benefit of all of the protections afforded by the Securities Act (which, among other things, requires specified disclosure in connection with the offering of securities), or the Investment Company Act (which, among other things, requires investment companies to have a majority of disinterested directors and regulates the relationship between the Adviser and the investment company, including the type of compensation paid to the Adviser).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) ***Conflicts of Interest***

The Fund is subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of its relationship with the Manager and their respective affiliates. None of the agreements and arrangements between the Fund and those parties, including the compensation payable by the Fund to the Manager (or other entity designated by the Manager), are the result of arm's-length negotiations. Partners ultimately will be heavily dependent upon the good faith of the Manager. This Memorandum does not purport to identify all conflicts of interest. The Fund, from time to time, may enter into other transactions not specifically described in this Memorandum with affiliates, officers, managers, members, employees, agents and representatives of the Manager. The Fund will not make loans to or investments in the Manager or its affiliates and will not sell securities to the Manager other than Interests on the terms described in this Memorandum. In addition, the Manager will not borrow from the Fund and will not use the Fund's funds as compensating balances for its own benefit but may commingle those funds with the funds of any other Person. If applicable, all funds of the Fund will be deposited with banks or other financial institutions in that account or accounts of the Master LP as may be determined by the Manager who will ensure records are maintained for the Fund assets associated with the Fund separately from the assets of any other Person. The Manager or their affiliates may perform services with respect to the transactions in which the Fund invests. The Manager and its affiliates may acquire or possess interests in a Portfolio Company and those interests may be of a different class or type, with different rights and preferences, than those held by the Fund. Likewise, the Manager and its affiliates may acquire or possess interests in other companies or business ventures that are competitive with a Portfolio Company or the Fund. Neither the Fund nor any Partner will have the right, by virtue of this Memorandum or the Operating Agreement, to share or participate in those other investments or activities of the Manager or to the income derived from those investments. The Manager and its affiliates may engage in or possess any interest in other business ventures of any kind, nature or description, independently or with others, whether those ventures are competitive with the Fund or otherwise. The Managers may provide active, part-time direct operating, management or advisory services to a Portfolio Company and may receive salaries, wages or fees for those services in accordance with the Operating Agreement, and those fees will be retained by the Manager and will not offset fees or other expenses of the Fund.

VIII. ACCESS TO INFORMATION

Partners are invited to contact the Manager using the Manager's e-mail information provided herein to review any written materials or documents relating to the Offering or the Fund, including any financial information available concerning the Fund or the Manager. The Manager will answer all inquiries from prospective investors relative to the Offering and will provide additional information (to the extent that the Manager possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any representations or information set forth in this Memorandum.

IX. SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURES

To subscribe for Interests, a Partner must complete in full, execute and deliver to the Fund a fully completed, dated and signed Subscription Agreement, together with (i) exhibits; and (ii) any other documents requested by the Manager for the purpose of satisfying the Manager's due diligence obligations at least 48 hours prior to the Closing. Any Subscription Agreement that is submitted to the Fund without all applicable submissions (or submissions otherwise containing incomplete information) will not be processed by the Fund until submitted by the Partner. The delay could result in a Partner not being admitted to the Fund until a Subsequent Closing.

The Manager may accept or reject any subscription in whole or in part, in its sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever, and to withdraw the Offering at any time. In the event the Manager refuses to accept a Partner's subscription, any subscription funds received will be returned without interest.

In connection with completing the subscription procedures described above, each Partner must deposit their subscription amount into an account set up by the Manager in the Fund's name (the "***Account***"). The Manager shall maintain the Account at any bank as the Manager may determine in its sole discretion. Prior to the Closing or termination of the Offering, subscription amounts will be held in the Account for the benefit of the Fund and the applicable Partners.

X. FEES AND EXPENSES

The Fund will pay a Management Fee, if any, in the manner outlined in the Management Fee Collection. If there is no Management Fee charged, the Fund may do so in the future. The Fund also will pay expenses related primarily to its administration, securities transactions and the ongoing offering of Interests. The Manager reserves the right to implement a Management Fee with respect to any Partner.

**Operating and Administrative Expenses**

The Fund, and not the Manager, will pay all costs and expenses arising in connection with its operations. Such expenses payable by the Fund include, without limitation, the following: (i) all reasonable expenses related to the Fund's organization (including, but not limited to, legal and accounting fees, government filing fees and printing and mailing expenses, syndication costs, and other expenses incurred in connection with the offering and sale of Interests); (ii) the Management Fee and all other general investment expenses; (iii) all administrative, legal, accounting, auditing, record-keeping, tax form preparation, compliance and consulting costs and expenses (including the cost of the preparation and audit of the Fund's financial statements and the preparation of its tax returns, fees and expenses of the Fund's accountants and legal counsel in connection with providing accounting or legal advice relating to the Fund's affairs); (iv) fees, costs and expenses of third-party service providers that provide such services; (v) costs and expenses associated with preparing communications to existing and prospective investors (including printing and mailing costs, and any expenses incurred in connection with meetings of the Partners and other similar expenses); (vi) insurance costs and expenses (including the costs of any liability insurance obtained on behalf of the Fund, the Manager, or any of their members); (vii) taxes and other governmental charges payable by the Fund; (viii) governmental licensing, filing, and exemption fees (including Blue Sky filing fees); (ix) indemnification obligations; (x) all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred; for services for the benefit of the Fund, including any threatened, pending, or anticipated litigation, Internal Revenue Service examination or audit, or similar audit or examination by any state or local taxing authority or other legal proceeding; (xi) all other reasonable expenses related to the management and operation of the Fund or the purchase, sale or transmittal of Fund assets, all as the Manager determines in its sole discretion; and (xii) the Fund Set Up Costs and any other fees, costs and expenses described in the Provision of Services Agreement, as amended and up-to-date within the Fund Statement of Work.

Such expenses are shared by all of the Partners and are normally allocated pro rata to each of the Partners, unless such expenses were incurred exclusively for the benefit of certain Partners and not others.

The Manager will bear all of its own overhead costs and expenses, including rent of its offices, compensation and benefits of its staff, maintenance of its books and records, and its fixed expenses, telephones, and general-purpose office equipment. The Fund does not reimburse the Manager directly for the costs of providing those services.

**Organizational and Offering Expenses**

The Fund bears, either directly or by reimbursing the Manager, all costs of organizing the Fund and the initial offering of Interests. These included government formation charges and professional fees and expenses in connection with the preparation of the Fund's offering documents and its basic organizational and contractual documents. The Fund bears, either directly or by reimbursing the Manager, all expenses in connection with the ongoing offer and sale of Interests.

Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, organization costs and start-up costs are expensed as incurred. However, the Fund intends to depart from U.S. GAAP, by electing to treat these costs as deferred expenses and to amortize them over a period of not less than 60 months beginning with the month in which the partnership begins business.

**ORGANIZATION**

**2.1** **Formation.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.1.1.** The Manager of the Master Series LLC has established the Fund as a series of a limited liability company pursuant to the provisions of the Act. The Fund commenced upon its creation as a Series pursuant to <u>Section 2.2</u> of this Agreement. The execution, delivery and filing of the Certificate of Membership of the Master Series LLC, and all actions taken in connection with the formation of the Fund, are hereby adopted, approved, ratified and confirmed by the Partners.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.1.2.** The Manager of the Master Series LLC, or a designee of such Manager, is hereby authorized to execute, deliver and file, or to cause the execution, delivery and filing of, any amendments or restatements of the Certificate of Membership of the Master Series LLC and any other certificates, notices, statements or other instruments (and any amendments or restatements thereof) necessary or advisable for the formation of the Fund or the operation of the Fund in all jurisdictions where the Fund may elect to do business, but no such amendment or restatement may be executed, delivered or filed unless adopted in a manner authorized by this Agreement. Each holder of an Interest promptly shall execute and deliver such documents and perform such acts consistent with the terms of this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to comply with the requirements of law for the formation, qualification and continuation of existence of a series of a limited liability company under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the Fund shall conduct business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.1.3.** The Manager shall limit ownership in the Fund to 100 Members so as to avoid registration of the Fund as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

**2.2** **Establishment of Series.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.2.1.** Pursuant to Section 18-215(b) of the Act and the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Master LLC (the "***Master LLC Agreement***"), the Master LLC is authorized to establish separate members and limited liability company interests with separate and distinct rights, powers, duties, obligations, businesses and objectives (each a "***Series***"). Notice is hereby given that the SPV is hereby established as a Series under the Master LLC Agreement. The Series created hereby, and the rights and obligations of the Members of the Series will be governed by this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Master LLC Agreement, this Agreement will control. The debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, with respect to the SPV will be enforceable against the assets of the SPV only and not against the assets of the Master, LLC generally or any other Series of the Master, and, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, none of the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to the Master LLC generally or any other Series of the Master will be enforceable against the assets of the SPV. A member participating in one Series will have no rights or interest with respect to any other Series, other than through that Member's interest in that Series independently acquired by that Member. This Agreement and all provisions herein will be interpreted in a manner to give full effect to the separateness of each Series. The Manager shall take reasonable steps as are necessary to implement the provisions of this Section II.2. Without limitation on the preceding sentence, the Manager shall maintain separate and distinct records for each Series, shall separately hold and account for the assets of each Series, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 18-215 of the Act. The SPV will be dissolved, and its affairs wound up pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. The dissolution and termination of the SPV will not, in and of itself, cause or result in the dissolution or termination of the Master, LLC or any other Series.

**2.3** **Name.** 

The name of the Fund is set forth in the <u>Main Definitions Page</u>. The business of the Fund, however, may be conducted, upon compliance with all applicable laws, under any other name designated by the Manager, in its discretion.

**2.4** **Place of Business and Office; Registered Agent.** 

The Fund shall maintain its principal office at the Principal Office Location; provided, however, that the Manager may at any time change the Principal Office Location and may establish additional offices. Notice of any such change shall be given to the Members. The Fund's registered agent for service of process on the Fund in the State of Delaware shall be the Registered Agent, or such other agent as the Manager may from time to time designate.

**2.5** **Purpose.** 

The Fund has been created with the general purpose of acting as a fund operating under an investment strategy of investing primarily in one or more Portfolio Company Securities. The Fund may (a) engage in any and all activities necessary, incidental, proper, advisable or convenient to the foregoing; and (b) engage in any and all other lawful activities and transactions as may be necessary, advisable, or desirable, as determined by the Manager, in its sole discretion, to carry out the foregoing or any reasonably related activities, including direct or indirect investments in securities of any Portfolio Company.

**2.6** **Term.** 

The formation date of the Fund is reflected on records maintained by the Manager. The term of the Fund (the "***Term***") shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect until dissolved pursuant to <u>Section 7.1</u>.

**2.7** **Powers of the Fund.** 

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Fund will possess and may exercise all of the powers and privileges granted to it by the Act, by any other applicable law or this Agreement, together with all powers incidental thereto, so far as such powers are necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion, or attainment of the purposes of the Fund set forth in <u>Section 2.5</u>.

**2.8** **Maintenance of Separate Existence.** 

The Fund shall do all things necessary to maintain the limited liability company existence of the Master Series LLC and each Series therein separate and apart from the existence of each holder of an Interest, any Affiliate of each holder of an Interest and any Affiliate of the Fund, including maintaining the Fund's books and records on a current basis separate from that of any Affiliate of the Fund or any other Person. In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the foregoing, the Fund shall (i) maintain or cause to be maintained by an agent under the Fund's control physical possession of all its books and records; (ii) account for and manage all of its liabilities separately from those of any other Person, including payment by it of any taxes or other governmental charges levied against the Fund; and (iii) identify or cause to be identified separately all its assets from those of any other Person.

**2.9** **Title to Fund Assets.** 

All assets of the Fund shall be deemed to be owned by the Fund as an entity, and no holder of any Interest, individually, shall have any direct ownership interest in such assets. Each holder of an Interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives its rights to a partition of the assets and, to that end, agrees that it will not seek or be entitled to a partition of any assets, whether by way of physical partition, judicial sale or otherwise, except as otherwise expressly provided in <u>Article VII</u>.

**2.10** **Qualification in Other Jurisdictions.** 

The Manager shall cause the Fund to be qualified or registered under assumed or fictitious names or foreign limited liability company statutes or similar laws in any jurisdiction in which the Fund transacts business and to the extent, in the judgment of the Manager, such qualification or registration is necessary or advisable in order to protect the limited liability of the Members or to permit the Fund lawfully to own property or transact business. The Manager shall have the power and authority to execute, file and publish all such certificates, notices, statements or other instruments necessary to permit the Fund to conduct business as a series of a limited liability company as contemplated hereunder in all jurisdictions where the Fund elects to do business.

The death, bankruptcy, withdrawal, insanity, incompetency, temporary or permanent Incapacity, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, merger, sale of all or substantially all the stock or assets of, or other change in the ownership or nature of a Member shall not be sufficient to dissolve the Fund.

**2.12** **Events Affecting the Manager.** 

Neither the withdrawal, bankruptcy, or dissolution of the Manager, nor the liquidation, reorganization, merger, sale of all or substantially all the stock or assets of, or other change in the ownership or nature of the Manager, shall constitute an "event of withdrawal" of the Manager under the Act, and upon the happening of any such event, the affairs of the Fund shall be continued without dissolution by the Manager or any successor entity thereto.

**ARTICLE III**

**ManagerS; LIMITED PARTNERS; MANAGEMENT; EXPENSES**

**3.1** **Manager.** 

The Fund shall be managed by the Manager. The Manager shall be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Fund. The Manager may, on behalf of the Fund, retain the services of certain third-party service providers, including, but not limited to, a fund administrative manager, investment adviser, recordkeeper, etc. In addition, the Manager is vested with the delegable authority to submit regulatory and tax filings on behalf of the Fund, including, but not limited to, an application to secure a federal Employer Identification Number for the Fund. The Manager in its sole discretion may at any time terminate or remove one or all Special Administrators or appoint a new Special Administrative Manager. Absent a written delegation from the Manager, no Special Administrative Manager may act on behalf of the Fund with respect to any matter other than the submission of regulatory and tax filings. Nothing in this <u>Section 3.1</u> shall be construed to limit the Manager's authority to manage Fund operations and act on behalf of the Fund in its sole discretion without having to secure the consent of the Manager.

**3.2** **Members; Interests.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.2.1.** A Person's interest in the Fund shall be represented by the Interest held by such Person. No provisions regarding the right to consent to or otherwise participate in any decision of the Members shall be interpreted or construed to include such rights for a holder of any Interest who has not been admitted as a Member. Each holder of an Interest hereby agrees that such Person's interest in the Fund and in the Interest shall for all purposes be personal property.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.2.2.** The Manager may issue Interests upon the receipt and acceptance of the Capital Contributions (including contributions deemed to have been made as described below at <u>Section 3.4.1</u>)), at the sole discretion of the Manager, and admit as a Partner any Person that shall execute this Agreement or any other writing evidencing the intent of such Person to become a Partner and be bound by this Agreement, at such time as the Manager determines in its sole discretion (the "***Initial Closing***"). At any time, and from time to time, the Manager may, at one or more additional closings (each an "***Additional/Subsequent Closing***" and together with the Initial Closing, each a "***Closing***"), without obtaining the consent or permission of or giving notice to any Partner admitted in the Initial Closing or any prior Additional Closing, issue Interests in exchange for Capital Contributions and admit as Partners any Person that shall execute this Agreement or any other writing evidencing the intent of such Person to become a Partner and be bound by this Agreement. Such admission shall be effective when the Manager enters the name of such Person on the register of Members and Interest ownership maintained by the Fund (the "***Interest Register***"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Manager may, but shall not be required to, accept distributions from a prior fund participating in the Quarterly Fund Program that would otherwise be payable to a Person (including any capital attributable to a Carry-Over Subscription or distributable proceeds realized on the sale or disposition of a prior Fund's portfolio investments) as Capital Contributions from such Person in accordance with <u>Section 3.4.1(b)</u> and, in exchange therefore, admit such Person as a Partner in the Initial Closing or any Additional Closing. The Manager shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to reject any subscription for an Interest in whole or in part. The names, addresses and Interest ownership of the Members who are accepted as Members of the Fund will be set forth in the Interest Register, as amended from time to time. The Manager, or a designee of the Manager, shall update the Interest Register from time to time as necessary to accurately reflect the information therein as known by the Manager, including, without limitation, admission of new Members, but no such update shall constitute an amendment for purposes of Article VIII hereof. Any reference in this Agreement to the Interest Register shall be deemed to be a reference to the Interest Register as amended and in effect from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.2.3.** No Partner shall be required to lend any funds to the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.2.4.** Unless admitted to the Fund as a Member, as provided in this Agreement, no Person shall be considered a Member. The Fund and the Manager shall not be required to deal with any other Person (other than with respect to distributions to assignees pursuant to assignments in compliance with Article VI) merely because of an assignment or transfer of any Interest(s) to such Person whether by reason of the Incapacity of a Member or otherwise; *provided*, *however*, that any distribution by the Fund to the Person shown on the Fund's records as a Member or to its legal representatives, or to the assignee of the right to receive the Fund's distributions as provided herein, shall relieve the Fund and the Manager of all liability to any other Person who may be interested in such distribution by reason of any other assignment by the Member or by reason of its Incapacity, or for any other reason.

**3.3** **Member Voting and Management Rights.** 

The Members shall not participate or take part in the management or control of the Fund's business, and shall have no right or authority to act for or bind the Fund, and shall have no voting rights with respect to the Fund pursuant to Section 17-302 of the Act. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Members shall not have any right to vote on matters set forth in <u>Section 8.2</u>; *provided, however*, that this <u>Section 3.3</u> shall not apply to the Investment Adviser to the extent of the services the Fund engages it to perform.

**3.4** **Partnership Capital.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.4.1. Capital Commitments; Capital Contributions.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Partner agrees to make (a) an initial Capital Contribution to the Fund upon the Closing in which such Partner is admitted into the Fund in an amount equal to the Capital Contribution; and (b) such additional Capital Contributions to the Fund from time to time as hereinafter set forth; *provided, however,* that after the Member Investment Period, the Manager may request Capital Contributions only to fund expenses, Management Fees, if any, and liabilities of the Fund (including but not limited to indemnification). The Investment Adviser or any of its respective Affiliates may subscribe for an Interest to the Fund and shall be treated like other Members in respect of any such subscription; *provided*, *however*, that if aggregate Capital Commitments from Members exceed a documented target amount of Capital Commitments for the Fund, the Fund may cancel any Capital Commitment and redeem any Capital Contributions from the Investment Adviser or its Affiliates to the extent of such excess. Any decision to redeem the Investment Adviser's Capital Contribution pursuant to this paragraph shall be made by the Manager on behalf of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Manager may, in its sole discretion, accept all or any portion of a Member's Carry-Over Subscription to satisfy all or a part of such Member's initial or additional Capital Contribution, as the Manager may determine in its sole discretion. In the event that the Manager rejects all or a part of a Member's Carry-Over Subscription as a Capital Contribution to the Fund, the amount of such rejected portion of such Member's Carry-Over Subscription shall be returned to such Member pursuant to the terms of the applicable fund's partnership agreement and the Subscription Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) No Member shall be paid interest on any Capital Contribution to the Fund or on such Member's Capital Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) No Member shall have any right to demand the return of its Capital Contribution or revoke an Unfunded Commitment, except upon dissolution of the Fund pursuant to Article VII.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) No Member shall have the right to demand property in return for its Capital Contribution, except upon dissolution of the Fund pursuant to Article VII.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.4.2. Drawdown Procedures.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Generally</u>. Each Member shall make Capital Contributions to the Fund in such amounts and at such times as the Manager shall specify in notices (each a "***Drawdown Notice***") delivered from time to time to such Member pursuant to <u>Section 3.4.2(b)</u>. All Capital Contributions shall be paid to the Fund in the manner specified in the Drawdown Notice or such other manner as may be agreed to in writing by the Manager by 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the date specified in such Drawdown Notice. Capital Contributions may include amounts that the Manager determines are reasonably necessary or desirable for any purpose consistent with <u>Section 2.5</u>, and the payment of Management Fees or Fund expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Drawdowns</u>. Each Drawdown Notice shall specify:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Drawdown Amount;

(ii) the required Capital
Contribution to be made by such Member;

(iii) the date (the "  ***Drawdown Date***") on which such Capital Contribution is due, which, except in the case of the initial Capital Contribution, shall
be no less than the Minimum Drawdown Notice; and

(iv) the account of
the Fund to which such Capital Contribution should be paid.

In connection with any such Drawdown, each Member shall be required to make a Capital Contribution equal to the product of (i) such Member's Unfunded Commitment Percentage times; and (ii) the Drawdown Amount specified in the applicable Drawdown Notice. The Manager shall not make a capital call to the Members pursuant to this <u>Section 3.4.2</u> for amounts in excess of the aggregate Unfunded Commitments of the Members and any amounts required to be contributed by way of a Carry-Over Subscription, and no Member shall be obligated to contribute amounts pursuant to any capital call in excess of its Unfunded Commitment.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Subscription Agreement shall constitute a Drawdown Notice with respect to the Initial Drawdown Amount unless otherwise specified therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Regulatory Exclusions</u>. The Manager may, in its sole discretion, alter the above Drawdown procedures or waive all or a portion of the Unfunded Commitment applicable to any ERISA Partner, Governmental Plan Partner or Private Foundation Partner to the extent reasonably necessary for the Fund, the Investment Adviser, the Manager or such Member to comply with applicable law or regulation, without the Consent of, or notice to, any other Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.4.3. Capital Call Facilities**. If the Manager shall reasonably determine that funds are necessary to make an investment or to pay Management Fees or a Fund expense prior to the time all or a portion of such funds are otherwise made available by the Partners in accordance with this <u>Section 3.4</u>, the Manager may borrow such funds, from Affiliates or otherwise, provided that the Manager shall deliver an applicable Drawdown Notice or Notices in respect of such investment, Management Fee or Fund expense promptly after making such borrowing. The Manager shall repay any borrowings made under this <u>Section 3.4.3</u> as promptly as practicable after funds for such repayment become available to the Fund. To the extent any borrowing by the Fund is attributable to Capital Contributions that are received by the Fund after the payment date specified in the applicable Drawdown Notice, the interest costs associated therewith shall be charged and allocated to the account of the Partner(s) that did not timely submit their Capital Contributions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.4.4. Default by Partners.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Partner agrees that payment of its required Capital Contributions when due is of the essence, that any Default by any Partner would cause injury to the Fund and to the other Partners and that the amount of damages caused by any such injury cannot be estimated with reasonable accuracy. Upon any Event of Default by a Partner, the Manager, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to pursue one or more of the following remedies on behalf of the Fund: (i) charge interest on such Defaulting Partner's Default Amount at the lower of (A) the interest rate that is equal to the SOFR Rate plus 8% per annum; or (B) the highest rate permitted by law; (ii) cause such Defaulting Partner to forfeit all or a portion of its Capital Account, with the amount forfeited being allocated, as a credit, to the Capital Accounts of the Partners other than such Defaulting Partner in proportion to their respective Commitment Percentages as most recently determined; (iii) cause all or a portion of such Defaulting Partner's interest in the Fund to be subject to a mandatory withdrawal or sale to a third party at such discount to the net asset value of such Defaulting Partner's Capital Account and other terms as the Manager determines in its sole discretion; and (iv) reduce or cancel the Unfunded Commitment of the Defaulting Partner on such terms as the Manager reasonably determines (which may include leaving such Defaulting Partner obligated to make Capital Contributions with respect to Management Fees and Fund expenses allocable to such Defaulting Partner or its Capital Commitment up to the amount of such Defaulting Partner's Unfunded Commitment at the time such Unfunded Commitment is so reduced or canceled). In the case of clause (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Fund's books and records shall be amended as necessary to reflect such reduction in such Defaulting Partner's interest in the Fund and to reduce such Partner's Capital Account accordingly. The Manager's election to pursue any one of such remedies shall not be deemed to preclude the Manager from pursuing any other available remedy, simultaneously or subsequently, including but not limited to, damages (any amount of which shall be withheld from distributions otherwise payable to the Defaulting Partner) or specific performance. The Defaulting Partner shall continue to remain obligated to provide funds as required by the Manager up to the full amount of its Unfunded Commitment and to pay its share of all Management Fees or Fund expenses allocable to such Defaulting Partner or its Capital Commitment under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any Event of Default, the Manager may, in its sole discretion, compromise the obligation of a Defaulting Partner that is a Member to make Capital Contributions or to pay certain other amounts pursuant to this Agreement on such terms as the Manager determines in its sole discretion. No failure or delay by the Manager in exercising any remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, and a waiver by the Manager of a particular right or remedy on one occasion shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right or remedy or a waiver on any subsequent occasion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default in connection with any Drawdown, the Manager may, in its sole discretion, use reasonable efforts to obtain agreements from other Members (which may not include all Members) to increase their required Capital Contributions so as to fund the Default Amount and, if such agreements are obtained from any such Member, deliver an additional Drawdown Notice in accordance with <u>Section 3.4.2(b)</u> hereof to such Member, setting forth the increased amount of such Member's required Capital Contribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Manager reasonably determines that time constraints or other factors make the procedures set forth above impracticable or if the Manager obtains agreements for only a portion of the amount that is in Default, the Manager may, in its discretion, seek commitments of capital from additional investors (which may in the discretion of the Manager, include the Manager, any existing Member or their respective Affiliates) up to the amount of the Defaulting Partner's Unfunded Commitment. If any such commitment is received from any existing Member, such Member's Capital Commitment and Unfunded Commitment shall be increased accordingly. If any such commitment is received from an investor that is not an existing Member, such investor shall, after executing such instruments and delivering such opinions and other documents as are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Manager, be admitted to the Fund as a Substituted Member and shown as such on the books and records of the Fund and shall be deemed to have a Capital Commitment and an Unfunded Commitment equal to the commitment for which such investor has subscribed. After the appropriate adjustment of the Capital Commitment and the Unfunded Commitment of the Member or admission of the Substituted Member pursuant to this clause, the Capital Commitment and Unfunded Commitment of the Defaulting Partner shall be decreased accordingly;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The rights and remedies referred to in this <u>Section 3.4</u> shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights available to the Manager or the Fund under this Agreement or at law or in equity. Further, each Member agrees that the rights and remedies referred to in this <u>Section 3.4</u> may be exercised with respect to a Defaulting Partner against its interests in the Fund and in any Predecessor Fund(s) or Successor Fund(s). An Event of Default by any Partner in respect of any Capital Contribution shall not relieve any other Partner of its obligation to make Capital Contributions to the Fund. In addition, unless the Unfunded Commitment of any Defaulting Partner is decreased to zero pursuant to <u>Section 3.3.4(a)</u> hereof, an Event of Default by such Partner shall not relieve such Defaulting Partner of its obligation to make Capital Contributions subsequent to such Event of Default; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each Member acknowledges by its execution hereof that it has been admitted to the Fund in reliance upon its agreements under this Agreement, that the Investment Adviser, Manager and the Fund may have no adequate remedy at law for a breach hereof and that damages resulting from a breach thereof may be impossible to ascertain at the time hereof or of such breach.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.4.5.** Upon the expiration of the Investment Period, all or a portion of any Capital Contribution that is neither used for investment nor reserved for committed investments or payment of Fund expenses, may, at the Manager's sole discretion and without further consent of the relevant Members, be invested into a Successor Fund as a Carry-Over Subscription into such Successor Fund (where this Fund is a Predecessor Fund). Such Carry-Over Subscription Amounts shall be contributed to the Successor Fund pro rata in accordance with each Member's respective Capital Contributions or in such other manner as designated by the Manager (such amounts, "***Roll-Over Contributions***"). For all tax and accounting purposes, the Roll-Over Contributions shall be deemed effectuated via a distribution to the Members from the Fund and an immediate contribution of such amounts by such Members into the Successor Fund. Such amounts deemed distributed by the Fund and contributed to the Successor Fund shall reduce the Capital Accounts of the Partners of the Fund accordingly.

**3.5** **Pro-Rata Rights; Follow-On Opportunities.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.5.1.** In the event that a Portfolio Company in which the Fund invested has a Follow-On Opportunity to invest further (or through other security types or mediums), the Manager and/or Investment Adviser shall determine whether to decline such opportunity. If it is determined to accept the opportunity, the opportunity shall be allocated in accordance with the policies of stated herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.5.2.** The Investment Adviser in its sole discretion may, without notice and consent of the Fund, assign, transfer or otherwise allocate any preferential investment rights ("***Pro-Rata Rights***") in a Follow-On Opportunity that the Fund may have to other persons including an investment vehicle that the Investment Adviser advises or has an economic interest in (an "***Affiliated Investment Vehicle***"). Each Member acknowledges and agrees that the allocation of Follow-On Opportunities may create a real or perceived conflict of interest for the Investment Adviser, and waive any claims, actions and other rights they may have against the Investment Adviser, Fund, their Affiliates, their members, partners, directors, officers, agents and employees in connection with any such conflict.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.5.3.** The Fund may, in the Manager's sole discretion, maintain cash reserves of up to the Maximum Reserve Amount from proceeds of Liquidity Events or similar events occurring with respect to Portfolio Companies to participate in Follow-On Opportunities. To the extent the Fund declines or is unable to participate in a Follow-On Opportunity (due to lack of available capital or otherwise), Members of the Fund have no separate right to participate or invest in place of the Fund**.**

**3.6** **Additional/Subsequent Closings; Adjustments at Additional/Subsequent Closings.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.6.1.** Except as provided in <u>Sections 3.2.2</u>, <u>3.5</u>, <u>3.6.2</u>, and <u>3.6.3</u>, no additional person shall be admitted as a Partner after the Effective Date without the Consent of the Manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.6.2.** In accordance with <u>Section 3.2.2</u>, each additional Person admitted as a Partner subsequent to the Effective Date (and each existing Member that increases its Subscription Amount) shall (i) execute and deliver to the Fund a counterpart of this Agreement or otherwise take such actions as the Manager shall deem appropriate in order for such Partner to become bound by the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) in the case of a Member, make a Capital Contribution in an amount equal to its accepted Subscription Amount in exchange for an Interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.6.3.** Each Member's Capital Contribution and distribution rights shall be calculated on the basis of such Member's proportional ownership of Interests within the applicable Series, and not based on such Member's aggregate Capital Contributions to the to another Series or the Master Series LLC if applicable.

**3.7** **Liability of Members.** 

No Member shall be liable to the Fund or to any other Member for (i) the performance, or the omission to perform, of any act or duty on behalf of the Fund; (ii) the termination of the Fund or this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof; or (iii) the performance, or the omission to perform, on behalf of the Fund any act in reliance on advice of legal counsel, accountant or other professional advisors to the Fund. In no event shall any Member (or former Member) have any liability for the repayment or discharge of the debts and obligations of the Fund or be obligated to make any contribution to the Fund; *provided, however*, that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) appropriate reserves may be created, accrued and charged against the net assets of the Fund and proportionately against the Capital Accounts of the Members for contingent liabilities or probable losses or foreseeable expenses that are permitted hereunder (including, with respect to any Liquidating Vehicle, in accordance with <u>Section 4.7</u> and <u>7.2.4</u>), such reserves to be in the amounts that the Manager deems necessary or appropriate, subject to increase or reduction at the Manager's sole discretion; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) each Member shall have such other liabilities as are expressly provided for in this Agreement.

**3.8** **Nature of Obligations Between Members.** 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to make any Member , in such Member's capacity as a Member, an agent or legal representative of any other Member or to create any fiduciary relationship between Members for any purpose whatsoever, apart from such obligations between the partners of a limited liability company as may be established by the Act. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, a Member shall not have any authority to act for, or to assume any obligation or responsibility on behalf of, any other Member or the Fund.

**3.9** **Status Under the Uniform Commercial Code.** 

All Interests in the Fund shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware. The Interests are not evidenced by certificates and will remain not evidenced by certificates. The Fund is not authorized to issue certificated Interests. The Fund will record in the Interest Register all Transfers of Members' Interests made in accordance with Article VI of this Agreement.

**3.10** **Management Fee.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.10.1** The Fund shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, pay to the Manager (or to its assignee) the "***Management Fee***" as defined in the <u>Main Definitions Page</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.10.2** The Management Fee shall be payable in accordance with the <u>Main Definitions Page</u>. The Management Fee, if any, shall be payable to a bank account specified by the Manager (or its assignee).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.10.3** The Members acknowledge and agree that the Manager may assign any Management Fee in its sole discretion, and reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive the Management Fee in part or in whole with respect to any one or more Members (including Affiliates of the Investment Adviser and the Manager), but not others, without the Consent of, or notice to, any other Member (a "***Management Fee Adjustment***").

**3.11** **Other Expenses.** 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Fund shall bear the Management Fee, if any, and all organizational and operating expenses of the Fund and other expenses attributable to the activities of the Fund, including, but not limited to (i) attorneys' and accountants' fees and insurance, regulatory or litigation expenses (including disbursements on behalf of the Fund and damages and any tax or other audit expenses and any expenses contemplated under <u>Section 10.4)</u>; (ii) all reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses incurred in connection with the Fund's investments of the underlying Portfolio Company Securities; (iii) expenses incurred in connection with the formation, operations and/or winding up or liquidation of the Fund (i.e. Permissible Liquidation Expenses); (iv) expenses incurred in connection with any amendments to the constituent documents of the Fund and related entities, and in connection with any agreements between the Fund, the Manager or third parties; (v) expenses incurred in connection with distributions to the Members and in connection with any meetings of Members called by the Manager; and (vi) reasonable expenses for fund administration services. Fund expenses may be capped or waived at the discretion of the Manager. The Manager may set aside a cash reserve to pay for anticipated expenses of the Fund, and any unused portion thereof shall be returned to the investors.

**ARTICLE IV**

**CAPITAL ACCOUNTS, ALLOCATIONS, AND DISTRIBUTIONS**

**4.1** **Capital Accounts.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.1.1.** A separate book capital account shall be maintained for each Member (each a "***Capital Account***") in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), in respect of the Interest held by such Member. The Capital Account of each Member shall be: (i) increased by contributions of money by the Member to the Fund and allocations of income or gain; (ii) decreased by distributions of money or property by the Fund to the Member and allocations of loss or deduction; and (iii) otherwise adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The Manager may modify the manner in which Capital Accounts are computed as it deems necessary to comply with Code Section 704(b) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder; *provided,* that such modifications shall not have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Member under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.1.2.** The Fund may, at the sole discretion of the Manager, revalue Fund property as permitted under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f). In the event of such a revaluation, the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g).

**4.2** **Allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.2.1.** Subject to <u>Sections 4.2.2</u> through <u>4.6</u> below, for each Fiscal Year, the Fund's Net Profits or Net Losses, as the case may be, shall be allocated among the Members in such a manner that, immediately after giving effect to such allocations, each Member's Target Capital Account balance, taking into account all contributions by such Member and distributions to such Member, equals, as nearly as possible, the amount of cash, if any, that would be distributed to such Member if (a) all the Fund's assets were sold for cash equal to their respective book values (as determined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-(b)(2)(iv)), reduced, but not below zero, by the amount of nonrecourse debt to which such assets are subject; (b) all the Fund's liabilities (other than nonrecourse liabilities) were paid in full; and (c) all the remaining cash was distributed to the Members under <u>Section 4.7</u>.

**4.3** **Nonrecourse Deductions, Tax Credits, etc.** 

Nonrecourse deductions (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)), tax credits, and other items the allocation of which cannot have economic effect shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in accordance with Interests held by them.

**4.4** **Section 704(b) Regulatory Allocations.** 

The safe harbor provisions of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(b), including Treasury Regulation 1.704-1(b), relating to qualified income offset, minimum gain chargeback, minimum gain chargeback with respect to Member nonrecourse debt, allocations of nonrecourse deductions, allocations with respect to Member nonrecourse debt, limitations on allocations of losses to cause or increase a Capital Account deficit, and forfeiture allocations with respect to substantially nonvested partnership interests (the "***Regulatory Allocations***") are hereby incorporated by reference and shall be applied to the allocation of income, gain, loss, or deduction in the manner provided in the Treasury Regulations. In the event the Regulatory Allocations result in allocations being made that are inconsistent with the manner in which the Partners intend to divide the Fund's Net Profits and Net Losses as reflected in <u>Section 4.2</u>, the Manager may, in its sole discretion, adjust subsequent allocations of any items of gain, loss, income, deduction, or expense such that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such subsequent special adjustments to each Partner is zero.

**4.5** **Tax Allocations.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.5.1.** Except as otherwise provided in this Article IV or as otherwise required by the Code and the rules and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, a Partner's distributive share of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction, or expense for income tax purposes shall be the same as is entered in the Partner's Capital Account pursuant to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.5.2.** In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and by such methods determined by the Manager, allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or expense for income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Partners so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted tax basis of Fund property and the book value of such property as determined for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts.

**4.6** **Special Allocations.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.6.1.** To the extent the Fund has taxable interest income or expense with respect to any promissory note between any Partner and the Fund as holder and maker or maker and holder pursuant to Section 483, Sections 1271 through 1288, or Section 7872 of the Code, such interest income or expense shall be specially allocated to the Partner to whom such promissory note relates, and such Partner's Capital Account adjusted if appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.6.2.** Subject to <u>Sections 3.6</u> and <u>6.3</u>, if additional persons are admitted to the Fund as Members and participate in a closing subsequent to the first Closing (or existing Members increase their Capital Contributions), then Profit and Loss of the Fund allocated to such Partners that are allocated to the Partners on or after the effective date of such admission (or increase) shall be allocated first to such new Partners (or such existing Members that increased their Capital Contribution) to the extent necessary to cause such persons to be treated with respect to such items as if they had been Partners (or had such increased Capital Contribution) from the first Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.6.3.** If any Interests are newly issued, reserved, transferred, forfeited, or redeemed during a Fiscal Year, the Manager shall adjust allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit to take account of the varying interests of the Members in any manner consistent with Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

**4.7** **Distributions.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.7.1.** The Fund shall first use available assets to repay outstanding debts and obligations, if any, of the Fund. Then, subject to <u>Section 4.8</u>, the Fund shall make distributions of the cash proceeds received from each Portfolio Company, if any, at such times and intervals as the Manager shall determine. With respect to each investment in any Portfolio Company, no distribution shall be made earlier than the expiration of the Lock-Up Period in respect of Portfolio Company Securities to be distributed. To the extent that a distribution is made in-kind, such distribution shall be valued in accordance with <u>Article XIII</u>, and any deemed gain or loss incurred on such distribution allocated to the Partners in accordance with <u>Section 4.2</u>. Furthermore, the Fund's investments in Portfolio Companies may be subject to carried interests, fees and expenses under the governing terms of each investment, and any distribution from a Portfolio Company to the Fund is net of said carried interest and any applicable fees and expenses. With respect to assets attributable to the Fund, distributions shall be made in accordance with terms specified as part of the Main Definitions Page.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.7.2.** Distributions pursuant to this Article IV may be comprised of cash and/or securities if and to the extent that, in connection with a Liquidity Event, the Fund receives such cash, Portfolio Company Securities or other securities from the relevant Portfolio Company(s). Any in-kind distributions will be made at the sole discretion of the Investment Adviser. Interim distributions will be made at such times as the Manager determines in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no distribution of securities shall be made to any Member to the extent such Member would be prohibited by applicable law from holding such securities. Securities distributed in kind shall be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Manager determines, in its sole discretion, are legally required or appropriate. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Manager, distributions to a Member will be made to its respective brokerage account; *provided* that any cash distributions may, in the sole discretion of the Manager, be made, in whole or in part, to the account from which the Member paid its Capital Contribution or to a Member's alternative account of which it informed the Manager by way of timely written notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Fund receives from a Portfolio Company or its affiliate any digital assets, such as cryptographic tokens or coins, the Manager may cause the Fund to liquidate such property in such manner and at such times as the Investment Adviser deems, in its sole discretion, to be in the best interest of the Fund and the Manager shall distribute any resulting proceeds, net of expenses, to Members in accordance with this <u>Section 4.7</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.7.3.** In the event that, on the date of the Outside Date, a Liquidity Event has not occurred in respect of any Portfolio Company, the assets may be assigned to a liquidating trust or Entity (a "***Liquidating Vehicle***"). The Fund's interests in any Liquidating Vehicle shall generally be subject to terms comparable to its interests in the Portfolio Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Distribution Expenses); *provided, however*, that, in addition to other expenses contemplated hereunder, interests in a Liquidating Vehicle may be subject to actual expenses incurred in connection with the ongoing operations of the Liquidating Vehicle. The Liquidating Trustee, in its sole discretion, may establish reserves for contingencies under this <u>Section 4.7.3</u>, including with respect to interests in any Liquidating Vehicle and/or make any adjustments or amendments to the terms of this Agreement necessary to effect the terms of this <u>Section 4.7.3</u>.

**4.8** **Withholding.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.8.1.** The Manager shall cause the Fund to withhold from payments and distributions to a Member and remit to the appropriate government authority any amounts required to be withheld under the Code, Treasury Regulations, FATCA, or federal, state, provincial, local, or foreign tax law. All amounts so withheld shall be treated as paid or distributed, as the case may be, to the Member for all purposes of this Agreement. In addition, the Fund may withhold from distributions amounts deemed necessary, in the sole discretion of the Manager, to be held in reserve for payment of accrued or foreseeable permitted expenses of the Fund. In the event a portion of a distribution in kind is retained by the Fund pursuant to this Section, such retained securities may, in the discretion of the Manager, either (i) be distributed to the Members in accordance with the terms of this Article IV, including this <u>Section 4.8.1</u>; or (ii) be sold by the Fund to generate the cash necessary to satisfy such tax remittance. If any securities are sold pursuant to the preceding sentence, then for purposes of income tax allocations only under this Operating Agreement, any gain or loss on such sale or exchange shall be allocated to the Member to whom the applicable tax remittance relates. Each Member will, as applicable, take such actions as are required to establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Manager that the Member is (i) not subject to the withholding tax obligations imposed by Section 1471 of the Code; and (ii) not subject to the withholding tax obligations imposed by Section 1472 of the Code. In addition, each Member will assist the Fund and the Manager with any applicable information reporting or other obligation imposed on the Fund, the Manager, or their respective Affiliates, pursuant to FATCA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.8.2.** If any amount is withheld from any amounts otherwise payable to the Fund in order to satisfy any federal, state, provincial, local or foreign tax liability, the amounts so withheld are deemed to be distributed to the Members and allocated among them in accordance with this Article IV, except that in the case of any amount withheld or deducted other than on a pro rata basis as between the Members (for example, having regard to particular individual tax status), the amount so distributed is deemed to be allocated among the Members having regard to the respective amounts withheld on account of each Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.8.3.** Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund from and against any liability with respect to income attributable to or distributions or other payments to such Member. To the extent that the Code, Treasury Regulations, or state, local, or foreign tax law requires the Fund to remit to a governmental authority an amount with respect to a Member that exceeds the amount then otherwise distributable to such Member, (i) the excess shall constitute a loan from the Fund to such Member which shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest, from the date that the Fund makes the payment to the relevant governmental authority, at the lesser of (a) the one-month SOFR plus four percent (4%) or (b) the maximum legal interest rate under applicable law, compounded annually; (ii) the Fund shall be entitled to collect such sum from amounts otherwise distributable to such Member under <u>Section 4.7</u> or <u>Section 7.2</u> of this Agreement; and (iii) the Fund may exercise any and all rights and remedies to collect such sum from such Member that a creditor would have to collect a debt from a debtor under applicable law. Any payment made by a Member to the Fund pursuant to this <u>Section 4.8.3</u> shall not constitute a Capital Contribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.8.4.** The Manager agrees that it will make (or cause the Fund to make) any filings, applications or elections to obtain any available exemption from, or any available refund of, any withholding or similar taxes imposed by any taxing authority with respect to amounts distributable or items of income allocable to any Member under this Agreement. Each of the Members agrees that it will cooperate with the Manager and the Fund in making any such filings, applications or elections to the extent the Manager reasonably determines that such cooperation is necessary or desirable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Member must make any such filings, applications or elections directly, the Manager, at that Member's request, will (or will cause the Fund to) provide such information and take such other action as may reasonably be necessary to complete or make such filings, applications or elections, so long as the provision of such information and assistance does not create an undue burden on the Manager or otherwise interfere with the management of the Fund by the Manager or its members.

**4.9** **Member Giveback.** 

Except as required by applicable law or <u>Section 4.8</u>, no Member shall be required to repay to the Fund, any Member or any creditor of the Fund all or any part of the distributions made to such Member unless the Member has agreed to such repayment in connection with a distribution made to such Member. To the extent a Member is obligated to repay or restore to the Fund all or any part of any distribution made to it from the Fund, the Manager shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent such a "clawback" from exceeding the lesser of (i) 25% of the Member's Capital Contribution; or (ii) the sum of the Member's previous distributions.

Subject to the foregoing limitations and as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, if the Master Series LLC or a Fund incurs any liability, including in respect of indemnification obligations, the Manager may cause each Member to contribute to the Master Series LLC, the Fund, any Predecessor Fund or any Successor Fund, its pro rata share of such liability (based upon the amount by which such Member's Program Distributions would have been reduced if the amount to be returned to the Master Series LLC or such fund by the Partners had not been distributed but rather had been used by the Master Series LLC or such fund to pay such liability); *provided that*, to the extent such liability may be attributable to a specific fund or Portfolio Company, as determined by the Manager in its discretion, it may limit the payment of such amounts to Members participating in such fund or Portfolio Company. In addition, the Manager may withhold from distributions of the Fund, any Predecessor Fund or any Successor Fund, in which a Member that is subject to a giveback obligation participates in order to satisfy such giveback obligation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the aggregate amount of such re-contributions from any Member may not exceed 50% of such Member's aggregate capital contributions to the Quarterly Fund Program during the applicable Funding Window (substituting the date such recontribution is assessed for the distribution date). In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Member will be required to return any amount distributed to it following the third anniversary of such distribution, unless notice of a pending or otherwise anticipated claim is provided to the Member prior to such anniversary date.

**4.10** **No Creditor Status.** 

No Member may withdraw any amount from its Capital Account unless such withdrawal is made pursuant to <u>Sections 5.2</u>, <u>6.4</u> or <u>8.2</u>. A holder of Interest(s) shall not have the status of, and is not entitled to the remedies available to, a creditor of the Fund with regard to distributions that such holder of Interest(s) becomes entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement and the Act. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no interest shall be paid to any Member on account of its interest in the capital of or on account of its investment in the Fund.

**4.11** **Limitations on Distribution.** 

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Fund shall not make a distribution to any holder of Interests on account of its interest in the Fund if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law. Furthermore, where residual cash of the Fund is a de minimis amount (*i.e*. less than the cost of distributing said residual cash to the Members or account maintenance cost), the Manager may in its discretion cause the Fund to donate such amount for charitable purposes. Also, the Manager may in its sole discretion refuse to accept any distribution (including dividend, interest payment or other amount) from a Portfolio Company if such distribution is of a de minimis amount.

**4.12** **Currency.** 

All Capital Contributions or distributions of cash pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in United States dollars except where the Manager agrees with a Member that all or any part of its Capital Contribution or distribution, as applicable, shall be made in another currency in which the underlying investment in Portfolio Company Securities is to be or was made. Where a Capital Contribution or distribution of cash is made in a currency other than United States dollars, the value of the relevant Capital Contribution or distribution shall be entered into the books of the Fund based on its United States dollar value determined in accordance with this Section. For purposes of this Agreement (other than for purposes of calculating foreign currency gain or loss for purposes of Sections 985 - 989 of the Code or equivalent provisions of any applicable foreign jurisdiction's tax regulations), whenever an amount is to be converted from one currency to another, it shall be converted at the prevailing exchange rate for such conversion at the close of business on the date of such calculation (or the next preceding business day if such date of calculation is not a business day), as reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Cash held by the Fund shall be promptly deposited into an account at Silicon Valley Bank, or a reputable bank or financial institution as determined by the Manager in its reasonable discretion.

**5.1** **Management.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1.1.** The business and affairs of the Fund shall be controlled, directed and managed by the Manager. Except when the approval of the Members is expressly required by the Act or this Agreement, the Manager shall have the full, exclusive and complete authority, power and discretion to operate, manage and control the affairs, business and property of the Fund, to make all decisions related to the Fund's affairs, business and property and to perform any and all other acts or activities customary or incident to the management of the Fund's affairs, business and property, including, without limitation, (i) establishing Fund subsidiaries; (ii) signing agreements; and (iii) otherwise binding the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1.2.** The Manager may agree to (i) delegate any matters or actions that it is authorized to perform under this Agreement to employees or agents of the Manager or third Persons; and (ii) appoint any Persons, with such titles as the Manager may select, to act on behalf of the Fund, with such power and authority as the Manager may delegate from time to time to such Persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1.3.** The Manager may from time to time open bank accounts in the name of the Fund, and the Manager or a representative of the Manager shall be the signatory thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1.4.** Third parties dealing with the Fund may rely conclusively upon any certificate of the Manager to the effect that it is acting on behalf of the Fund. The signature of the Manager shall be sufficient to bind the Fund in every manner to any agreement or on any document.

**5.2** **Duties and Obligations of the Manager.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.2.1.** The Manager shall take all action that may be necessary or appropriate for the continuation of the Fund's valid existence and authority to do business as a limited liability company with separate Series (if applicable) under the laws of the State of Delaware and of each other jurisdiction in which such authority to do business is, in the judgment of the Manager, necessary or advisable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.2.2.** The Manager shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file on or before the due date (or any extension thereof) any federal, state or local tax returns required or other documents to be filed by the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.2.3.** The Manager shall cause the Fund to pay any taxes or other governmental charges levied against or payable by the Fund; *provided, however,* that the Manager shall not be required to cause the Fund to pay any tax so long as the Manager or the Fund is in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings contesting the validity, applicability or amount thereof and such contest does not materially endanger any right or interest of the Fund. If deemed appropriate or necessary by the Manager, the Fund may establish reasonable reserves to fund its actual or contingent obligations under this <u>Section 5.2.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.2.4.** The Manager shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that at no time shall the equity participation in the Fund by "benefit plan investors" be "significant," within the meaning of the Plan Asset Rules. If the Manager becomes aware that the assets of the Fund at any time are likely to include plan assets of a benefit plan investor, the Manager may require any or all of the ERISA Partners to immediately withdraw so much of their capital in the Fund as shall be necessary to maintain the investment of such Members at a level so that the assets of the Fund are not deemed to include plan assets under ERISA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.2.5.** Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Manager does not, shall not and will not owe any other fiduciary duties of any kind whatsoever to the Fund, or to any of the Members, by virtue of its role as the Manager, including, but not limited to, the duties of due care and loyalty, whether such duties were established as of the date of this Agreement or any time hereafter, and whether established under common law, at equity or legislatively defined. It is the intention of the Parties to this Agreement that any such fiduciary duties be affirmatively eliminated to the fullest extent permitted under the Act or any other applicable law, and each Member hereby waives any rights with respect to such fiduciary duties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.2.6.** Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise applicable provision of law or equity, whenever in this Agreement, the Manager is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its "sole discretion" or "discretion" or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Manager shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Fund or the Members; or (ii) in its "good faith" or under another expressed standard, the Manager shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards. Unless otherwise expressly stated, for purposes of this <u>Section 5.2.6</u>, the Manager shall be deemed to be permitted or required to make all decisions hereunder in its sole discretion.

**5.3** **Other Businesses of the Manager and Administrative Manager.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.3.1.** The Manager shall devote to the Fund such time as the Manager reasonably believes shall be necessary to conduct Fund business and affairs in the Manager's sole discretion. The Members recognize, however, that Affiliates of the Manager, and any officer or employee of the Manager or such Affiliate, shall be required to devote only such time to the affairs of the Fund as the Manager determines in its sole discretion may be necessary or appropriate to manage and operate the Fund. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Manager and each Member, and their respective Affiliates may engage in or possess any interest in other business ventures of any kind, nature or description, independently or with others, whether such ventures are competitive with the Fund or otherwise. None of the foregoing shall have any rights or obligations by virtue of this Agreement or the business relationship created hereby in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits or losses derived therefrom.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.3.2.** The Administrative Manager shall devote to the Fund such time as the Administrative Manager reasonably believes shall be necessary to conduct Fund business and affairs in the Administrative Manager's sole discretion. The Members recognize, however, that Affiliates of the Administrative Manager, and any officer or employee of the Administrative Manager or such Affiliate, shall be required to devote only such time to the affairs of the Fund as the Administrative Manager determines in its sole discretion may be necessary or appropriate to manage and operate the Fund. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Manager and its Affiliates may engage in or possess any interest in other business ventures of any kind, nature or description, independently or with others, whether such ventures are competitive with the Fund or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Manager and its Affiliates may acquire or possess interests in a Portfolio Company and such interests may be of a different class or type, with different rights and preferences, than those held by the Fund. None of the Fund, the Manager nor the Investment Adviser shall have any rights or obligations solely by virtue of this Agreement or the business relationship created hereby in or to such independent ventures or investments or the income or profits or losses derived therefrom.

**5.4** **Duties; Investment Opportunities; Other Business of the Investment Adviser Parties.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.4.1.** Each Member acknowledges and agrees that, in accordance with its authority as Manager of the Fund, the Manager has engaged the Investment Adviser to serve as investment adviser to the Fund. The Investment Adviser has agreed to provide the Fund with advice on actions pertaining to the Fund's securities holdings, including whether and the manner in which to buy or sell Portfolio Company Securities or economic rights owned by the Fund as opportunities arise, among other investment advisory services, as the case may be. The Fund, upon the advice of the Investment Adviser, shall be authorized to sell (whether in individual transactions or a series of transactions, with or without the involvement of a broker or other intermediary) all or a portion of the Portfolio Company Securities prior to the liquidation of the Fund at such times and in such manner as the Manager and/or Investment Adviser determines in its sole discretion to be most advantageous to the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.4.2.** The Investment Adviser will, if possible, endeavor to cause the Fund to invest in Portfolio Companies that meet the investment parameters of the Fund. Notwithstanding any prescribed investment strategy, the Investment Adviser may recommend the Fund invest capital in funds investing in early-stage or later-stage private companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.4.3.** Subject to other selection parameters determined in its reasonable discretion, the Investment Adviser intends to recommend the Fund invest assets in Portfolio Companies that align with Fund's Investment Objectives. The Investment Adviser will recommend whether and how much to invest in any Portfolio Company based on such factors as the Investment Adviser may consider appropriate including the management team of the Portfolio Company, other investors in the Portfolio Company, the terms of the proposed investment, any matters relating to the Company's technology, financial resources, strategy, pricing, market, or competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.4.4** The Investment Adviser does not guarantee or promise that any specific investment opportunity available to the Investment Adviser in connection with its advisory role to other investment vehicles will be offered to the Fund. Each of the Members acknowledges and agrees that the Investment Adviser, any of its Affiliates, or any member, partner, director, officer, employee, other agent or independent contractor of the foregoing, and any investment vehicle advised or managed by the foregoing, shall have the right to invest in any investment opportunity notwithstanding that such opportunity has not been offered to the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.4.5.** Each of the Members acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Investment Adviser does not verify, review or guarantee information provided by any Portfolio Company; and (ii) early-stage (including seed-stage) and later-stage companies the Fund anticipates investing in can provide only limited financial, operational and other information for estimating their future performance, and as such, the Investment Adviser will not engage in any financial modeling or other assessment of future profitability prior to approving an investment on behalf of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.4.6.** To the fullest extent permitted by the Investment Advisers Act, and/or applicable state regulatory and other applicable law, the Investment Adviser, its Affiliates, or any member, partner, director, officer, employee, other agent or independent contractor of the foregoing (a) may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those connected with the Fund, which interests and activities may be similar to or different from those of the Fund and may include without limitation acquiring interests as a partner, a member, a stockholder, or otherwise in other Entities, or performing investment advisory services and management services for various clients and accounts other than the Fund; and (b) in conducting business activities or acquiring business interests, whether different from or similar to those of the Fund, shall not be under any duty or obligation to make available to the Fund any business opportunity. No amendment or repeal of this Section shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of the Investment Adviser for or with respect to any opportunities of which the Investment Adviser becomes aware prior to such amendment or repeal.

**5.6** **Exculpation and Indemnification.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.6.1.** In the absence of a final judgment or other final adjudication adverse to an Indemnified Party (in each case, after all appeals and the expiration of time to appeal) establishing that (i) the Indemnified Party's acts or omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional misconduct, recklessness or gross negligence; or (ii) the Indemnified Party personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which such Indemnified Party was not legally entitled, no Indemnified Party shall be liable to any Party hereto (a) for any mistake in judgment; (b) for any action taken or omitted to be taken, including any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Indemnified Party; or (c) for any loss due to the mistake, action, inaction, negligence, dishonesty, fraud or bad faith of any Person retained by an Indemnified Party; *provided, however,* that such Person shall have been selected, engaged or retained by the Indemnified Party with reasonable care; *provided*, *further*, that in the case of any dishonesty, fraud or bad faith of a Person retained by an Indemnified Party no officer of such Indemnified Party knew of such dishonesty, fraud or bad faith. The Manager, the Administrative Manager, the Investment Adviser, their Affiliates and the employees, officers, directors and other agents of the foregoing may consult with legal counsel and accountants in respect of Fund affairs and shall not be liable for any action or inaction which is taken or omitted in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel or accountants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.6.2.** The Fund shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, out of the Fund's assets, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Indemnified Parties, and the Fund may, in the sole discretion of the Manager, to the fullest extent permitted by law, out of the assets of the Fund, indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Party who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including any action by or in the right of the Fund or any of the Members), by reason of any actions or omissions or alleged actions or omissions arising out of or in connection with such Indemnified Party's activities either on behalf of the Fund or in furtherance of the interests of the Fund or arising out of or in connection with such Person's activities as a Manager, an Affiliate of the Manager or as the Liquidating Trustee, if such activities were performed in good faith either at the request of or on behalf of the Fund or in furtherance of the interests of the Fund and in a manner reasonably believed by such Person to be within the scope of the authority conferred by this Agreement or by law, against losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (which shall in each case be advanced as and when incurred) for which such Person has not otherwise been reimbursed (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding; *provided, however,* that any Person entitled to indemnification from the Fund hereunder shall obtain the written Consent of the Manager prior to entering into any compromise or settlement that would result in an obligation of the Fund to indemnify such Person. Any payments to the Indemnified Party by an indemnitor in connection with the claim in question shall be paid to the Fund until the Fund has been reimbursed for any prior payments pursuant to such claim from the Fund to the Indemnified Party. Such payments received by the Fund shall be distributed pursuant to the provisions of <u>Section 4.7.1</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.6.3.** The provisions of this <u>Section 5.6</u> shall continue to afford protection to each Indemnified Party regardless of whether such Indemnified Party remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Indemnified Party became entitled to indemnification under this <u>Section 5.6</u> and regardless of any subsequent amendment to this Agreement. No amendment to this Agreement shall reduce or restrict the extent to which these indemnification provisions apply to actions taken or omissions made prior to the date of such amendment. The provisions of this <u>Section 5.6</u> shall inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns, heirs and personal and legal representatives of the Indemnified Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.6.4.** Under the laws of the State of Delaware, to the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnified Party has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Fund or to the Members, neither the Manager nor any other Indemnified Party acting in connection with the Fund's business or affairs shall be liable to the Fund or to any Members for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Party otherwise existing in law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Party in accordance with the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.6.5.** If deemed appropriate or necessary by the Manager, the Fund may establish reasonable reserves to fund its actual or contingent obligations under this <u>Section 5.6</u>.

**ARTICLE VI**

**TRANSFERABILITY OF A LIMITED PARTNER'S INTERESTS**

**6.1** **Restrictions on Transfers of Interests.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.1.1.** No Interest, nor any beneficial interest therein, may, directly or indirectly, be transferred, sold, assigned, pledged, encumbered, charged, exchanged or hypothecated (including, but not limited to, being offered or listed on or through any placement agent, intermediary, online service, site, agent or similar person, service or entity), nor shall any Member create, or permit the creation of, a lien or security interest in or any encumbrance on any Interest or otherwise dispose of its Interest (or any portion thereof or economic interest therein) to or in favor of another Person, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (herein collectively called a "***Transfer***"), without the prior written Consent of the Manager, which may be granted, withheld, conditioned or delayed in its sole discretion. No Transfer shall act as a release of the transferring Member hereunder unless Consent of the Manager to such release shall have been obtained. Any attempted Transfer that is not made in accordance with this Article VI shall be null and void *ab initio* and the Manager and all Members are authorized to continue to treat the purported transferor as a Member for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after delivery of the opinion of counsel hereinafter required by this Article VI (*provided, however*, that the Manager may, in its sole discretion, waive the requirement of an opinion of counsel), a Member may Transfer its Interest without the Consent of the Manager (a) to any entity directly or indirectly holding eighty percent (80%) or more of the ownership interests of the Member (including profits or other economic interests) or any entity of which eighty percent (80%) or more of the beneficial ownership (including profits or other economic interests) are held directly or indirectly by such entity, including any entity of which the Member holds, directly or indirectly, eighty percent (80%) or more of the beneficial ownership (including profits or other economic interests); (b) pursuant to a merger, plan of reorganization, sale or pledge of, or other general encumbrance on all or substantially all of the Member's assets; (c) as may be required by any law or regulation; (d) by testamentary disposition or intestate succession; (e) to a trust, profit sharing plan or other entity controlled by, or for the benefit of, such Member or one or more of its family members; or (f) during the six (6) month period immediately following its admission as a Member, to an Affiliate entity that is also a Member where the sole purpose of such transfer is to adjust the relative holdings of such Affiliate and the original Member. A change in any trustee or fiduciary of the Member shall not be considered to be a Transfer under this Article VI, provided written notice of such change is given to the Manager within a reasonable period of time after the effective date thereof. In addition, the reorganization of the Manager into one or more partnerships or limited liability companies or a change in the manager of the Manager shall not be considered to be a Transfer under this Article VI so long as the resulting entity or entities are beneficially owned by substantially the same parties that beneficially owned the Manager immediately prior to such reorganization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.1.2.** Notwithstanding any other provisions of this <u>Section 6.1</u> (other than pursuant to <u>Section 6.4</u>) no Transfer of all or any fraction of a Member's Interest may be made unless the Fund shall have received a written opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Manager (which opinion may be waived, in whole or in part, at the sole discretion of the Manager) with respect to the following matters:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) such Transfer would not violate the 1933 Act or any state securities or "***Blue Sky***" laws or the securities laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction applicable to the Fund or the Interest to be Transferred;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) such Transfer would not cause the Fund to lose its status as a "partnership" for federal income tax purposes, constitute a transaction effected through an "established securities market" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(b) or otherwise cause the Fund to be a "publicly traded partnership" within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) such Transfer would not cause the Fund to become subject to the Investment Company Act, require the Fund to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act or require the Manager or any Investment Adviser Party to register as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) such Transfer would not cause all or any portion of the assets of the Fund to constitute "plan assets" under ERISA or the Code or to constitute assets of any ERISA Partner for the purposes of ERISA or to be subject to the provisions of ERISA to substantially the same extent as if owned directly by any ERISA Partner;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) such Transfer would not result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation by the Member, the Fund, the Manager, any Investment Adviser Party, or any partner, member or other owner of the foregoing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) such Transfer would not result in a violation of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.1.3.** Each Member agrees that it will pay all reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the Fund in connection with a Transfer of Interest by that Member. At the election of the Manager, such expenses may be paid by the Fund and deducted from the Capital Account of the Member or the transferee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.1.4.** Each Member agrees that, notwithstanding the Transfer of all or any fraction of its Interest, as between it and the Fund, it will remain liable for its obligations hereunder (including its obligations under <u>Section 3.7)</u> as required to be paid with respect to its Interest prior to the time, if any, when the purchaser, assignee or transferee of such Interest, or portion thereof, is admitted as a Substituted Member pursuant to <u>Section 6.3</u>.

**6.2** **Transferees.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.2.1.** The Fund shall not recognize for any purpose any purported Transfer of all or any portion of the Interest of a Member unless the provisions of <u>Section 6.1</u> shall have been complied with and there shall have been filed with the Fund a dated notice of such Transfer, in form satisfactory to the Manager, executed and acknowledged by both the seller, assignor or other transferor and the purchaser, assignee or other transferee, and (unless the Manager shall otherwise Consent) such notice (i) contains the acceptance by the purchaser, assignee or other transferee of all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of <u>Section 9.1</u>, and its agreement to be bound thereby; (ii) represents that such Transfer was made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations; and (iii) contains a power of attorney granted by the purchaser, assignee or other transferee to the Manager to execute this Agreement and all amendments hereto on its behalf.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.2.2.** Unless and until a purchaser, assignee or other transferee of an Interest becomes a Substituted Member, such purchaser, assignee or other transferee shall not be entitled to give Consent with respect to such Interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.2.3.** Any Member that Transfers its entire Interest shall cease to be a Member, and shall cease to have the rights of a Member hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.2.4.** Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Fund, Investment Adviser and the Manager shall be entitled to treat the transferor of an Interest as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions made in good faith to it, until such time as all of the conditions to a Transfer under this Article VI have been met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.2.5.** A Person who is the transferee of all or any portion of the Interest of a Member as permitted hereby but does not become a Substituted Member and who desires to make a further Transfer of such Interest, shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Article VI to the same extent and in the same manner as any Member desiring to make a Transfer of its Interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.2.6.** If the Manager approves the request by a Member to transfer its interest in any Fund or its obligations to make capital contributions to future Fund(s) from and/or attributable to a new individual or entity in accordance with this <u>Section 6</u> (a "***Permitted Transferee***"), then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Program Contributions of such Permitted Transferee shall be deemed to equal the proportionate share of the transferring Member's then-aggregate unreturned Program Contributions allocable to the transferred interests, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the aggregate amount of the transferring Members' then-aggregate unreturned Program Contributions shall be reduced by the amount allocated to the Permitted Transferee; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any future distributions to the Permitted Transferee shall not count as Program Distributions with respect to the transferring Member.

**6.3** **Substituted Members.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.3.1.** No Member shall have the right to substitute a purchaser, assignee, recipient, heir, legatee, distributee or other transferee of all or any portion of such Member's Interest as a Member in its place. Any such purchaser, assignee, transferee, heir, legatee, distributee or other recipient of an Interest (whether pursuant to a voluntary or involuntary Transfer) shall solely be admitted to the Fund as a substituted Member ("***Substituted Member***") only (i) with the Consent of the Manager, which Consent may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of the Manager, (ii) by satisfying the requirements of <u>Sections 6.1</u> and <u>6.2</u> (unless the Manager shall otherwise Consent) and (iii) upon an update to the Interest Register in accordance with <u>Section 3.2.2</u> and any amendment to this Agreement that the Manager deems necessary or appropriate to be made in accordance with Article VIII hereof, and the Certificate of Membership of the Master Series LLC, if required, filed in the proper records of each jurisdiction in which such filing is necessary to qualify the Fund to conduct business or to preserve the limited liability of the Members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.3.2.** Each Substituted Member, as a condition to its admission as Member, shall execute and acknowledge such instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager, as the Manager reasonably deems necessary or desirable to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of the Substituted Member to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Interest acquired, and shall meet all investor suitability standards and comply with any applicable anti-money laundering requirements that the Manager may require. All reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees not paid by the assignor pursuant to <u>Section 6.1.3</u> that are incurred by the Fund in this connection shall be paid by such Substituted Member. At the election of the Manager, such expenses may be paid by the Fund and deducted from the Capital Account of the Substituted Member.

**6.4** **Compulsory Redemption.** 

The Manager may, by notice to any Member (other than the Investment Adviser), force the sale of all or a portion of such Member's Interest (other than the Investment Adviser's Interest), or the withdrawal of a Member and correspondingly reduce any Unfunded Commitment of such Member (on such terms as the Manager reasonably determines, which may include leaving such Member obligated to make Capital Contributions with respect to Fund expenses and Management Fees allocable to such Member or its Capital Commitment up to the amount of such Member's Unfunded Commitment at the time such Unfunded Commitment is so reduced), on such terms as the Manager determines to be fair and reasonable, or take such other action as it determines to be fair and reasonable in the event that the Manager determines or has reason to believe that: (i) such Member has attempted to effect a Transfer of, or a Transfer has occurred with respect to, any portion of such Member's Interest in violation of this Agreement; (ii) continued ownership of such Interest by such Member is reasonably likely to cause the Fund, the Investment Adviser or any Affiliate of the foregoing to be in violation of securities laws of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction or the rules of any self-regulatory organization applicable to the Manager, the Investment Adviser or their Affiliates; (iii) continued ownership of such Interest by such Member may be harmful or injurious to the business or reputation of the Fund, the Manager or the Investment Adviser, or may subject the Fund or any Members to a risk of adverse tax or other fiscal consequence, including without limitation, adverse consequence under ERISA; (iv) any of the representations or warranties made by such Member under this Agreement or under any Subscription Agreement signed by such Member in connection with the acquisition of an Interest was not true, correct and complete when made or has ceased to be true, correct and complete; (v) any portion of such Member's Interest has vested in any other Person by reason of the bankruptcy, dissolution, incompetency, Incapacity or death of such Member; (vi) the Member's continued ownership of its Interest would cause the Fund to be required to register as an "Investment Company" under the Investment Company Act; or (vii) it would not be in the best interests of the Fund, as determined by the Manager, for such Member to continue ownership of its Interest.

**ARTICLE VII**

**DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION OF THE FUND**

**10.1** **Records and Accounting.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.1.1.** Proper and complete records and books of account of the business of the Fund, including a list of the names, addresses and Interests of all Members, shall be maintained at the Fund's principal place of business or by such other Entity or at such other location as may be designated by the Manager from time to time. Each Member shall be permitted to inspect such books and records of the Fund under such conditions and restrictions as the Manager may prescribe in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.1.2.** The cash or accrual basis of accounting shall be followed by the Fund for federal income tax purposes, as determined by the Manager. The taxable year of the Fund shall be its Fiscal Year.

**10.2** **Reports.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.2.1.** As soon as practicable following each Closing, the Fund will provide to each Member documentation of its Interest or Capital Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.2.2.** The Fund may from time to time furnish to each Member a report containing financial or tax information as is necessary for each Member to complete U.S. federal and state or, to the extent applicable, Canadian federal and provincial income tax returns or other applicable tax returns with respect to its Interest, along with any other tax information required by law. Information may be provided in hard copy or via electronic means. If financial statements of the Fund are prepared, securities may be valued pursuant to Article XIII hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.2.3.** The Fund generally provides all Fund reporting and investor communications electronically. All Members must permit the delivery of electronic communications by the Fund.

**10.3** **Tax Information.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.3.1.** From time to time, as required, the Manager shall cause to be delivered to each Person who was a Member at any time during a Fiscal Year a Schedule K-1 along PR with such other information, if any, with respect to the Fund as may be necessary for the preparation of such Member's income tax returns, including a statement showing such Member's share of income, gain or loss, expense and credits for such Fiscal Year for federal income tax purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.3.2.** Each Member hereby agrees and covenants that it shall not make an election under Section 732(d) of the Code with respect to property distributed to it by the Fund without the prior written Consent of the Manager. The Manager may, but shall not be obligated to, cause the Fund to make an election under Section 754 of the Code or an election to be treated as an "electing investment partnership" within the meaning of Section 743(e) of the Code. If the Fund elects to be treated as an electing investment partnership, each Member shall (i) reasonably cooperate with the Fund to maintain such status; (ii) shall not take any action that would be reasonably inconsistent with such election; (iii) provide the Manager with any information necessary to allow the Fund to comply with its obligations to make tax basis adjustments under Sections 734 or 743 of the Code and its tax reporting and other obligations as an electing investment partnership,;and (iv) provide the Manager and any such Member's transferee (if applicable), promptly upon request, with the information required to enable the Fund and such transferee to compute the amount of losses disallowed under Section 743(e) of the Code, but in no event shall such Member be required to provide such information prior to its receipt of its Schedule K-1 for such taxable year, except to the extent of information, if any, required by the Fund to complete its Schedule K-1s. Whether or not the Fund makes such election, promptly upon request, each Member shall provide the Manager with any information related to such Partner reasonably necessary to allow the Fund to comply with (i) its obligations to make tax basis adjustments under Sections 734 or 743 of the Code; and (ii) any other tax reporting obligations of the Fund.

**10.4** **Tax Decisions.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.4.1.** The Fund shall file as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, unless the Manager determines otherwise in its sole discretion. All decisions for the Fund relating to tax matters including, without limitation, whether to make any tax elections, the positions to be taken on the Fund's tax returns and the settlement or further contest or litigation of any audit matters raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority, shall be taken by the Manager. The Manager (or its authorized representative if the Manager is a legal entity) shall be the Partnership Representative within the meaning of the Code (the "***PR***"), and the Manager is hereby authorized to take the actions ultimately required to be designated as a "partnership representative" for purposes of the Bipartisan Budget Act ("**BBA**"), and to take any and all actions that the "partnership representative" is authorized to take with respect to taxable years of the Fund to which the provisions of the BBA relating to partnership audits apply. The PR will be continually designated for each respective year of the Fund's Term as part of the Fund's tax return. The PR shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to apply the rules and elections under the BBA in a manner that minimizes the likelihood that any Partner would bear any material tax as a result of any audit or proceeding that is attributable to another Partner (other than a predecessor in interest). The PR may also, in its own discretion, elect on behalf of the Fund to opt out of the partnership audit procedures required under the BBA. The Manager and the PR are hereby authorized to take any action required to cause the financial burden of any "imputed underpayment" (as determined under Section 6225 of the Code) (an "***Imputed Underpayment***") and associated interest, adjustments to tax and penalties arising from a partnership-level adjustment that are imposed on the Fund to be borne by the Partners and former Partners to whom such Imputed Underpayment relates as determined by the PR after consulting with the Fund's accountants or other advisers, taking into account any differences in the amount of taxes attributable to each Partner because of such Partner's status, nationality or other characteristics.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.4.2.** By executing this Agreement or a counterpart hereof, each Partner and assignee (i) expressly authorizes the PR and the Fund to take any and all action that is reasonably necessary under applicable federal income tax law (as such law may be revised from time to time) to cause the Fund to make the election set forth in Section 6226(a) of the Code if the PR decides to make such election; and (ii) expressly agrees to take any action, and furnish the PR with any information necessary, to give effect to such election. Each Partner and former Partner hereby severally indemnifies and holds the Fund, the Manager and the PR harmless for such Partner's or former Partner's respective portion of the financial burden of an Imputed Underpayment as provided in the foregoing sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, references in this paragraph to "Partner" or "Partners" shall be deemed to refer to both a Partner or Partners and to an assignee or assignees. Where appropriate, references in this paragraph to the PR shall be deemed to refer to the partnership representative. The Manager shall have the right to resign as PR by giving thirty (30) days' written notice to each Partner. Upon such resignation a successor PR shall be selected by the Investment Adviser in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.4.3.** The PR shall employ experienced tax counsel to represent the Fund in connection with any audit or investigation of the Fund by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and in connection with all subsequent administrative and judicial proceedings arising out of such audit. If the PR is required by law or regulation to incur fees and expenses in connection with tax matters not affecting all the Partners, then the Fund shall be entitled to reimbursement from those Partners on whose behalf such fees and expenses were incurred. The PR shall keep the Partners informed of all administrative and judicial proceedings, as required by Section 6223(g) of the Code, and shall furnish to each Partner, if such Partner so requests in writing, a copy of each notice or other communication received by the PR from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, except such notices or communications as are sent directly to such requesting Partner by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.4.4.** To the fullest extent permitted by law, but subject to the limitations and exclusions of <u>Section 5.6</u>, the Fund agrees to indemnify the PR and its agents and save and hold them harmless, from and in respect to all (i) fees, costs and expenses in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, or demand against the PR, the Manager or the Fund that arise out of or in any way relate to the PR's status as Partnership Representative for the Fund and (ii) all such claims, actions, and demands and any losses or damages therefrom, including amounts paid in settlement or compromise of any such claim, action, or demand. The provisions contained in this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Fund and the withdrawal of any Partner.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.4.5.** The Manager will undertake its commercially reasonable efforts to manage the affairs of the Fund in such a manner that no Tax Exempt Partner shall, solely as a consequence of the Fund's activities, recognize unrelated business taxable income ("***UBTI***") within the meaning of Section 512 of the Code. In particular, no borrowing or guaranty shall be made by the Fund if a Tax Exempt Partner would be required to recognize UBTI as a result thereof; *provided*, *however*, that amounts borrowed by the Fund pending the due date of a request by the Manager for a capital contribution pursuant to <u>Section 3.4</u>, which are due to be, and are, fully repaid promptly following the delivery of such contribution by the relevant Member(s), shall not be treated as indebtedness of the Fund for purposes of the restriction on incurring UBTI. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Fund shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to conduct its affairs so that all of its gross income is from dividends, interest and capital gains and losses from the disposition of property, and rents and royalties, but only such rents and royalties as are excluded, pursuant to Section 512(b)(2) and (3) of the Code in calculating unrelated business taxable income to ensure that (i) the Fund will not constitute a "business enterprise" for purposes of the excess business holdings provisions of Section 4943 of the Code, and (ii) no Tax Exempt Partner shall be deemed to have unrelated business taxable income. The Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Fund shall not enter into any transaction, not otherwise exempt, that would constitute participation by the Fund or any Member (or, if a Member is a partnership, no tax-exempt limited partner of such Member) in a "prohibited transaction" as defined in Section 4975 of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.4.6.** Except to the extent inconsistent with its obligations under this Agreement, the Manager will use its commercially reasonable efforts to conduct the affairs of the Fund so as to avoid having the Fund treated as engaged in a trade or business within the United States for purposes of Sections 864, 871, 875, 882, 884, 897 and 1446 of the Code. Unless otherwise advised by its tax advisors, the Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the tax returns and information returns of the Fund to be filed on the basis that the Fund is not engaged in a trade or business. The amount, if any, of any compensation for services paid to the Manager or members of the Manager from any company or entity in which the Fund may have an interest shall not be included in Fund income or otherwise be payable to the Fund. In no event shall the Manager be liable for monetary damages resulting from or arising out of its breach of this <u>Section 10.4.6</u>.

**10.5** **Elections.** 

The determinations of the Manager with respect to the treatment of any item or its allocation for federal, state or local tax purposes shall be binding upon all of the Members so long as such determination shall not be inconsistent with any express term of this Agreement. The Manager and each Member (in their respective capacities as such) agree that such Members shall not undertake any action, including (without limitation) filing of any elections or making regular bid or offer quotes to buy or sell interests or derivative interests in the Fund, that will cause the Fund to be, or create a substantial risk that the Fund will be, (i) classified as other than a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes (unless the Manager has elected for the Fund to be classified as other than a partnership); or (ii) treated as a "publicly traded company" within the meaning of Sections 469 or 7704 of the Code.

**10.6** **Partner Tax Returns.** 

Each Partner will prepare and file such documents, if any, as may be required to be prepared and filed under the Code or any other applicable tax legislation and will include in its computation of income, the income or loss of the Fund for tax purposes as may be determined and allocated to it by the Fund pursuant to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(j)** It is not an "investment company" registered under the Investment Company Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(k)** If it is a "benefit plan investor" under Section 3(42) of ERISA, it has identified itself as the same in writing to the Manager, its purchase and holding of its Interest is permissible under the documents governing the investment of its assets and under ERISA and the Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(o)** It has had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel of its choice and has read and understands this Agreement.

**11.2** **Derivative Transactions.** 

Other than the Investment Adviser, no holder of Interests may, without the prior written Consent of the Manager (which may be granted, withheld, conditioned or delayed in its sole discretion), directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise assign, transfer or dispose of any Interests, any shares of Portfolio Company Securities or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Portfolio Company Securities (including without limitation, Interests, shares of Portfolio Company Securities or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant (such shares or securities, the "***Beneficially Owned Shares***")), or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition; (ii) establish or increase any "put equivalent position" or liquidate or decrease any "call equivalent position" (in each case within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) with respect to any Beneficially Owned Shares, or otherwise enter into any swap, derivative or other transaction or arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any economic consequence of ownership of Interests, Beneficially Owned Shares, or Portfolio Company Securities, whether or not such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Interests, Beneficially Owned Shares, Portfolio Company Securities, other securities, cash or other consideration; or (iii) engage in any short selling of any Interests, Beneficially Owned Shares, Portfolio Company Securities or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Portfolio Company Securities; *provided, however,* the Investment Adviser shall provide prior written notice to the Manager of any action described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph.

**ARTICLE XII**

**ARBITRATION; GOVERNING LAW**

**12.1** **Arbitration; Class Action Waiver.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.1.1.** Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be resolved by confidential binding arbitration in the Arbitration Location by a single arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving disputes regarding investment fund contracts (the "***Arbitrator***"). The arbitration shall be administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service Inc. ("***JAMS***") pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Subject to <u>Section 15.12</u> ("***Damages Waiver***") of this Agreement, the arbitrator shall have authority to grant any form of appropriate relief, whether legal or equitable in nature, including specific performance, but shall not reform, modify or materially change this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.1.2.** In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, requests for documents: (i) shall be limited to documents which are directly relevant to significant issues in the case or to the case's outcome; (ii) shall be restricted in terms of time frame, subject matter and persons or entities to which the requests pertain; and (iii) shall not include broad phraseology such as "all documents directly or indirectly related to."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.1.3.** Each Party shall bear its own attorney's fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of JAMS and the Arbitrator; *provided, however*, the Arbitrator shall be authorized to determine whether a Party is substantially the prevailing Party, and if so, to award to that substantially prevailing Party reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and costs of JAMS and the Arbitrator. The claimant shall have the right to participate by phone or similar means and need not attend the arbitration live in the Arbitration Location in order to participate, except that the Parties will confer on an appropriate method for obtaining the claimant's testimony, including agreeing on a means of obtaining live testimony from the claimant if appropriate, in a manner that minimizes travel and expense burdens on the claimant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.1.4.** The Parties further agree that they may bring claims only in their individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class representative in any purported class or representative proceeding. The Arbitrator may not consolidate more than one Person's claims, may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and may not award class-wide relief. This provision is material and is a condition of the agreement to arbitrate. In the event that a determination is made that this class action waiver is void or unenforceable for any reason, the parties agree that the agreement to arbitrate disputes will be null and void.

**12.2** **Governing Law.** 

This Agreement will be construed, performed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles to the extent those principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

**ARTICLE XIII**

**VALUATION**

**13.1** **Valuation.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.1.1.** Subject to <u>Section 13.1.2</u> below, the valuation of securities and other assets and liabilities under this Agreement shall be at fair market value. Except as may be required under applicable Treasury Regulations, no value shall be placed on the goodwill or the name of the Fund in determining the value of the Interest of any Partner or in any accounting among the Partners.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.1.2.** Unless otherwise specified in <u>Exhibit A</u>, the Investment Adviser shall have the power at any time to determine, for all purposes of this Agreement, the fair market value of any assets and liabilities of the Fund in accordance with the Manager's then current valuation methodologies. Each Member agrees that the Investment Adviser may amend, change and adapt its valuation methodology at any time in its reasonable discretion, and that valuation of securities reported by the Fund may not represent true fair market value of such securities.

**ARTICLE XIV**

**PARTNERS SUBJECT TO SPECIAL REGULATION**

**14.1** **ERISA Partners.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.1.1.** Each ERISA Partner hereby (i) acknowledges that it is its understanding that neither the Fund, the Investment Adviser Parties, nor any of the affiliated entities of the Investment Adviser Parties, are "fiduciaries" of such Member within the meaning of ERISA by reason of the Member investing its assets in, and being a Member of, the Fund; (ii) acknowledges that it has been informed of and understands the investment objectives and policies of, and the investment strategies that may be pursued by, the Fund; (iii) acknowledges that it is aware of the provisions of Section 404 of ERISA relating to the requirements for investment and diversification of the assets of employee benefit plans and trusts subject to ERISA; (iv) represents that it has given appropriate consideration to the facts and circumstances relevant to the investment by that ERISA Partner's plan in the Fund and has determined that such investment is reasonably designed, as part of such portfolio, to further the purposes of such plan; (v) represents that, taking into account the other investments made with the assets of such plan, and the diversification thereof, such plan's investment in the Fund is consistent with the requirements of Section 404 and other provisions of ERISA; (vi) acknowledges that it understands that current income will not be a primary objective of the Fund; and (vii) represents that, taking into account the other investments made with the assets of such plan, the investment of assets of such plan in the Fund is consistent with the cash flow requirements and funding objectives of such plan. For the avoidance of doubt, individual retirement accounts shall not be admitted to the Fund, and therefore shall not be treated as ERISA Partners under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.1.2.** Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each ERISA Partner may elect to withdraw from the Fund, or upon demand by the Investment Adviser Parties shall withdraw from the Fund, at the time and in the manner hereinafter provided, if either the ERISA Partner or the Investment Adviser shall obtain an opinion of counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to both the ERISA Partner and the Investment Adviser) to the effect that, as a result of applicable statutes, regulations, case law, administrative interpretations, or similar authority (i) the continuation of the ERISA Partner as a Member of the Fund or the conduct of the Fund will result, or there is a material likelihood the same will result, in a material violation of ERISA; or (ii) all or any portion of the assets of the Fund constitute assets of the ERISA Partner and are subject to the provisions of ERISA to substantially the same extent as if owned directly by the ERISA Partner. In the event of the issuance of such opinion of counsel, a copy of such opinion shall be given to all the ERISA Partners, together with the written notice of the election of the ERISA Partner to withdraw or the written demand of the Investment Adviser for withdrawal, whichever the case may be. Thereupon, unless within ninety (90) days after receipt of such written notice and opinion the Investment Adviser is able to eliminate the necessity for such withdrawal to the reasonable satisfaction of the ERISA Partner and the Investment Adviser, whether by correction of the condition giving rise to the necessity of the ERISA Partner's withdrawal, or the amendment of this Agreement, or otherwise, such ERISA Partner shall withdraw its entire interest in the Fund, such withdrawal to be effective upon the last day of the Fiscal Quarter during which such ninety (90) day period expired, and the Manager shall correspondingly reduce any Unfunded Commitment of such ERISA Partner (on such terms as the Manager reasonably determines, which may include leaving such ERISA Partner obligated to make Capital Contributions with respect to Partnership Expenses and Management Fees allocable to such ERISA Partner or its Capital Commitment up to the amount of such Member's Unfunded Commitment at the time such Unfunded Commitment is so reduced).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.1.3.** The withdrawing ERISA Partner shall be entitled to receive within ninety (90) days after the date of such withdrawal an amount equal to the amount of such Partner's Capital

Account as of the effective date of such withdrawal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.1.4.** Any distribution or payment to a withdrawing ERISA Partner pursuant to this paragraph may, in the sole discretion of the Investment Adviser, be made in cash, in securities, in the form of a promissory note, the terms of which shall be mutually agreed upon by the Investment Adviser and the withdrawing ERISA Partner, or any combination thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.1.5.** Any valuation necessary for the purposes of a distribution or payment to a withdrawing ERISA Partner shall be made by the Investment Adviser in good faith pursuant to this <u>Section 14.1</u>.

**14.2** **Governmental Plan Partners.** 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Member that is either a "governmental plan" as defined in Title 29, Section 1002(32) of the Code or an employee benefit plan subject to Governmental Plan Regulations (a "***Governmental Plan Partner***") may elect to withdraw from the Fund, or upon demand by the Investment Adviser shall withdraw from the Fund, if either the Governmental Plan Partner or the Investment Adviser shall obtain an opinion of counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to both the Governmental Plan Partner and the Investment Adviser) to the effect that the Governmental Plan Partner, the Fund, or the Investment Adviser would be in violation, or there is a material likelihood the same would result, of any statute or regulation of the state of residence of the governmental plan, any political subdivision of such state or other law applicable to the Member on account of being a governmental plan ("***Governmental Plan Regulation***"), as a result of the Governmental Plan Partner continuing as a Member, and, in the case of an opinion obtained by the Investment Adviser, that such violation would have a material adverse effect on the Investment Adviser or the Fund. In the event of the issuance of the opinion of counsel referred to in the preceding sentence, the withdrawal of and disposition of the Governmental Plan Partner's Interest in the Fund shall be governed by <u>Section 14.1</u> of this Agreement, as if the Governmental Plan Partner were an ERISA Partner.

**14.3** **Private Foundation Partners.** 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Member that is, or whose equity interests are at least partially owned by, a "private foundation" as described in Section 509 of the Code (a "***Private Foundation Partner***"), may elect to withdraw from the Fund, or upon demand by the Manager shall withdraw from the Fund, if either the Private Foundation Partner or the Manager shall obtain an opinion of counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to both the Private Foundation Partner and the Manager) to the effect that such withdrawal is necessary in order for the Private Foundation Partner to avoid (a) excise taxes imposed by Subchapter A of Chapter 42 of the Code (other than Sections 4940 and 4942 thereof); or (b) a material breach of the fiduciary duties of its trustees under any federal or state law applicable to private foundations or any rule or regulation adopted thereunder by any agency, commission, or authority having jurisdiction. In the event of the issuance of the opinion of counsel referred to in the preceding sentence, the withdrawal of and disposition of the Private Foundation Partner's Interest in the Fund shall be governed by <u>Section 14.1</u>, as if the Private Foundation Partner were an ERISA Partner.

**ARTICLE XV**

**MISCELLANEOUS**

**15.1** **Notices.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.1.1.** Any notice to any Partner shall be at the address of such Partner set forth on the Interest Register, or such other mailing address (including email address) of which such Partner shall advise the Manager in writing. Any notice to the Fund or the Manager shall be at the Principal Office Location.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.1.2.** Each Partner hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Manager shall be entitled to transmit to such Partner exclusively by email, or other means of electronic messaging all notices, correspondence and reports, including without limitation such Partner's Schedule K-1s.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.1.3.** Any notice shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) sent by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, when received; (ii) personally delivered, on the date of delivery; (iii) sent by United States Express Mail or overnight courier, on the first business day after it is sent; or (iv) sent by electronic mail, or other means of electronic messaging, on the date on which it is sent.

**15.2** **Severability.** 

Except as otherwise provided in <u>Section 12.1.4</u>, in the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable by any arbitrator, or by any court of competent jurisdiction if for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, such provision shall be interpreted so as to comply with the ruling of such arbitrator or court and such holding shall in no way affect, invalidate, or render unenforceable any other provision hereof. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof. The invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

**15.3** **Entire Agreement.** 

This Agreement, together with any Subscription Agreement executed with the Fund by any Partner, together constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreement or understandings among them, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof, all of which are hereby canceled. There are no representations, agreements, arrangements or understandings, oral or written, between or among the Partners relating only to the subject matter of such agreements that are not fully expressed herein or therein. The provisions of this Agreement and such agreements, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Manager otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to modify to that extent such duties and liabilities of the Manager. This Agreement may not be modified or amended other than pursuant to Article VIII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement is deemed to include any Subscription Agreements (which may modify the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Partners party thereto); *provided, however,* that the Partners agree that notwithstanding <u>Section 8.1</u> hereof, each such other agreement may be amended, modified, waived or terminated by the Fund and the Partners who are parties thereto without the Consent of any other Partners, and any Partner not a party to any such other agreement is not intended to be a third-party beneficiary of any such other agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or of any Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Fund or the Manager (on its own behalf and on behalf of the Fund), without any further act, approval or vote of any Partner, may enter into side letters or other writings with individual Members which have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing, the terms of, this Agreement or any Subscription Agreement. The parties hereto agree that any rights established, or any terms of this Agreement or any Subscription Agreement altered or supplemented, in a side letter with a Member shall govern with respect to such Member notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Subscription Agreement.

**15.4** **Construction.** 

The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or the plural shall include the singular and the plural, and pronouns stated in either the masculine or the neuter gender shall include the masculine, the feminine and the neuter. Any reference herein to a statute, regulation, agreement or other legal authority shall be a reference to such authority as supplemented, restated, modified or otherwise amended from time to time.

**15.5** **Binding Provisions.** 

Subject to Article VI, the covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, personal or legal representatives, successors and assigns of the respective parties hereto.

**15.6** **No Waiver.** 

The failure of any Partner to seek redress for violation, or to insist on strict performance, of any covenant or condition of this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent act that would have constituted a violation from having the effect of an original violation.

**15.7** **Reproduction of Documents.** 

This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, Consents, waivers, amendments and modifications which may hereafter be executed, and certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any Member, may be reproduced by it by any digital, photographic, photostatic, or other similar process, and any Member may destroy any original document so reproduced. The Fund, the Manager and each Member agree and stipulate that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any arbitration or judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made in the regular course of business).

**15.8** **Confidentiality.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.8.1.** Each of the Members shall, and shall direct its Affiliates and the directors, officers, partners, members, employees, attorneys, accountants, consultants, trustees, advisors and other agents of the foregoing (the "***Representatives***") who have access to Confidential Information to, keep confidential and not disclose any Confidential Information (whether during or after the time that such Person is a Member) without the prior written Consent of the Fund, unless such disclosure is reasonably required (as determined in good faith by the disclosing Partner after consultation with counsel) by applicable law, governmental rule or regulation, court order, administrative or arbitral proceeding (including any inspection or examination or any disclosure necessary in connection with a request for information made under a state or federal freedom of information act or similar law), in connection with any tax audit involving the Fund or any Member, or in connection with any litigation against or involving the Fund, the Manager or any Member, after reasonable prior written notice to the Manager (except where such notice is expressly prohibited by law).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.8.2.** Confidential Information may be used by a Member and its Representatives solely in connection with proper Fund purposes and in connection with the maintenance of its Interest in the Fund or as otherwise required by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.8.3.** Neither the Manager nor the Investment Adviser shall be required to provide any Member (other than the Investment Adviser) with access to any information, and may withhold from any Member such information, if it reasonably determines that such information constitutes Confidential Information or that providing access to such information: (i) may result in the general public gaining access to such information or that such disclosure would not be in the best interests of the Fund; (ii) could damage the Fund or its business; or (iii) may result in a violation of applicable law or would violate an agreement between the Fund, the Manager, the Investment Adviser, or any of their Affiliates with a third party (including, without limitation, any Member).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.8.4.** Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager (which term, for purposes of this <u>Section 15.8.4</u> shall include its Affiliates) may, without notice to any Member, disclose or release Confidential Information to any Person as it believes in good faith may benefit the Fund or its Affiliates. Disclosure permitted under the preceding sentence includes, without limitation, disclosure of Confidential Information:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** as requested or required by the Investment Adviser, and as the Manager deems reasonably necessary, appropriate, or convenient, in relation to any Member;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** as requested or required by a Portfolio Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)** to the Fund or any of its Affiliates and any of their respective Representatives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e)** to existing or potential investors in the Fund; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(f)** as the Manager deems to be reasonably necessary, appropriate or convenient to: (i) facilitate each Closing or satisfy any Closing Conditions; (ii) to satisfy applicable anti-money laundering or other legal requirements; (iii) for any tax purpose; or (iv) for any other purpose that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

**15.9** **No Right to Partition.** 

To the extent permitted by law, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each of the Partners, on behalf of itself and its shareholders, partners, members, managers, directors, officers, heirs, executors, administrators, personal or legal representatives, successors and assigns, if any, hereby specifically renounces, waives and forfeits all rights, whether arising under contract or statute or by operation of law, to seek, bring or maintain any action in arbitration or in any court of law or equity for partition of the Fund or any asset of the Fund, or any interest that is considered to be Fund property, regardless of the manner in which title to any such property may be held.

**15.10** **No Recourse.** 

Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it will look solely to each other relevant Party for the performance of its respective covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement, not to any other Person, and that it shall have no recourse to any Affiliate of any Party in connection therewith.

**15.11** **Fund Name.** 

The Fund shall have the exclusive right to use the Fund name as long as the Fund continues. Upon dissolution of the Fund, the Fund shall assign whatever rights it may have in such name to the Manager. No value shall be placed upon the name or the goodwill attached to it for the purpose of determining the value of any Partner's Capital Account or Interest.

**15.12** **Damages Waiver.** 

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no Person shall be liable hereunder for punitive, indirect, non-economic or consequential losses or damages of any nature, including, but not limited to, diminution in value of investments, loss of tax benefits, damages for lost profits or revenues or the loss or use of such profits or anticipated revenues, cost of capital, loss of goodwill, penalties, damages to reputation or damages for lost opportunities, or any other special or incidental damages, regardless of whether said claim is based upon contract, warranty, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or other theory of law; *provided*, *however*, subject to <u>Section 5.6</u>, that the foregoing shall not be interpreted to waive actual damages resulting from a breach of this Agreement by the Manager or a Member.

**15.13** **Counterparts.** 

This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered by any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, including by completion and submission of an electronically executable package through Docusign or other electronic signature methodology, and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.14** **Timing.** 

All dates and times specified in this Agreement are of the essence and shall be strictly enforced. In the event that the last day for the exercise of any right or the discharge of any duty under this Agreement would otherwise be a day that is not a business day, the period for exercising such right or discharging such duty shall be extended until the Close of Business on the next succeeding business day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.15** **Fund Legal Matters.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.15.1.** The Manager may from time to time retain outside legal counsel ("***Fund Counsel***") to provide legal services to the Manager, the Investment Adviser and the Fund in connection with the management and operation of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** The Partner is an "***Accredited Investor***" within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "***Securities Act***") and has indicated how the Partner qualifies as an Accredited Investor, and may also be required to be a "***Qualified Purchaser***" as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act and has completed indication as to how the Partner qualifies as a Qualified Purchaser;

The Partner understands that no public market exists for the Interest and that the Interest may have to be held for an indefinite period of time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)** The Partner understands that the Interest has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or approved or disapproved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or by any state securities administrator, or registered or qualified under any state securities law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e)** The Partner (either alone or with the Partner's professional advisers who are unaffiliated with the Fund, the Manager, or its affiliates) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Partner is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Interest and has the capacity to protect the Partner's own interest in connection with the Partner's proposed investment in the Fund. The Partner understands that an investment in the Fund is highly speculative and the Partner is able to bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time and the loss of the Partner's entire investment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(l)** The Fund is offering Interests to Partners under an exemption from securities registration afforded by Regulation D, Rule 506(c), which requires the Manager to take "reasonable steps" to verify that each Partner is "Accredited" prior to allowing them admission to the Fund. The Partner understands and agrees that it shall be required to make certain representations and warranties to the Fund regarding its "Accredited Investor" status and shall agree that the Fund, or such third-party service providers as may be appointed by the Fund, may request from such Partner such additional information as the Fund may deem necessary or appropriate to evaluate the eligibility of the Partner to participate in the Offering;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(m)** The Partner understands and acknowledges that (i) any description of the Fund's business and prospects given to the Partner is not necessarily exhaustive; (ii) all estimates, projections and forward-looking statements were based upon the best judgment of the Fund's management at the time the estimates or projections were made and that whether or not the estimates, projections or forward-looking statements will materialize will depend upon many factors that are out of the control of the Fund; and (iii) there is no assurance that any projections, estimates or forward-looking statements will be attained;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(n)** The Partner's information provided in this Agreement (including the exhibits hereto) is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Fund and the Manager. Additionally, by executing the Agreement, the Partner acknowledges and agrees that any identifying information or documentation regarding the Partner and/or its suitability to invest in the Fund that was furnished by the Partner to the Fund, the Manager or their affiliates online, or via e-mail, whether in connection with this subscription or previously, may be made available to the Manager, remains true and correct in all respects and may, at the discretion of the Manager, be incorporated by reference herein (collectively, "***Supporting Documents***");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(o)** Neither this Subscription nor any of the Partner's contributions of Commitments do or will directly or indirectly contravene applicable laws and regulations, including anti-money-laundering laws and regulations.

In furtherance of those efforts, the Partner hereby represents, covenants, and agrees that, to the best of the Partner's knowledge based on reasonable investigation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(iii)** The Partner acknowledges that due to anti-money laundering requirements operating in the United States, as well as the Fund's own internal anti-money laundering policies, the Fund and the Manager may require further identification of the Partner and the source of its capital contribution before these Subscription Documents can be processed, capital contributions can be accepted, or distributions made. When requested by the Manager, the Partner will provide any and all additional information, and the Partner understands and agrees that the Manager may release confidential information about the Partner (and, if applicable, any underlying beneficial owner or Related Person<sup>1</sup> to any person) if the Manager has determined that the release is necessary to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations concerning money laundering and similar activities; *provided*, that prior to releasing the information, the Manager will confirm with counsel that the release is necessary to so ensure said compliance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** The Partner should check the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (the "**OFAC**") website at http://www.treas.gov/ofac before making the following representations. The Partner represents that the amounts contributed by it to the Fund were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities governed by anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals<sup>7</sup>. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at http://www.treas.gov/ofac. In addition, the programs administered by OFAC (the "**OFAC Programs**") prohibit dealing with individuals or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or entities appear on the OFAC lists. The Partner represents and warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, none of: (i) the Partner; (ii) any person controlling or controlled by the Partner; (iii) if the Partner is a privately held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Partner; or (iv) any person for whom the Partner is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a country, territory, individual or entity named on an OFAC list, nor is a person or entity prohibited under the OFAC Programs.

Please be advised that the Fund may not accept any amounts from a Partner if it cannot make the representations set forth in the preceding paragraph. If an existing Member cannot make these representations, the Fund may require the withdrawal of its Interests. In addition, the Partner agrees that the Manager or the Administrative Manager may require further identification of the Partner before a subscription or withdrawal can be processed and the Manager and Administrative Manager shall be held harmless and indemnified against any loss arising as a result of a failure to process the subscription application or withdrawal if such information as has been required by the parties referred to has not been provided by the Partner.

The Partner agrees to notify the Fund promptly should the Partner become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Partner is advised that, by law, the Fund may be obligated to "freeze the account" of such Partner, either by prohibiting additional investments from the Partner, declining any withdrawal requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations, and the Fund may also be required to report such action and to disclose the Partner's identity to OFAC. The Partner further acknowledges that the Manager may, by written notice to the Partner, suspend or refuse the payment of withdrawal proceeds to such Partner if the Manager reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Fund, the Manager or any of the Fund's other service providers;
