Each Purchase Price payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts designated in writing by each Seller pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(i).
2.5 Purchase Price Reconciliation.
(a) Upon receipt of the Purchase Price Calculation in accordance Section 2.4(a)(i), Buyer shall have ten (10) days to review such Purchase Price Calculation and to give Sellers written notice of its objection to any item or calculation contained therein, specifying in
8
reasonable detail all disputed items and the basis therefor (a “Dispute Notice”). During such ten (10) day period, the Sellers shall promptly provide to Buyer any information reasonably requested, as and when available, concerning the Purchase Price Calculation and any of the information described in Section 9.2(f). If Buyer concurs with the Purchase Price Calculation, or otherwise does not give Sellers a Dispute Notice within such ten (10) day period, such Purchase Price Calculation shall be deemed final and conclusive with respect to the determination of the Purchase Price, and shall be binding on the Parties for all purposes under this Agreement, provided that in the event that any Party discovers an error relating to the Purchase Price Calculation subsequent to such date but prior to the Closing Date, the discovering Party shall promptly notify the other Parties and the Sellers shall deliver a revised Purchase Price Calculation to Buyer, and Buyer shall have an additional five (5) days to review.
(b) If Buyer delivers to Sellers a Dispute Notice objecting to any items or calculations contained in the Purchase Price Calculation within the applicable ten (10) day period, the Parties shall meet within five (5) days following the date of the Dispute Notice (the “Resolution Period”) and shall attempt in good faith to resolve such objections and any written resolution by them as to any disputed amount shall be deemed final and conclusive with respect to the determination of the Purchase Price, and shall be binding on the Parties for all purposes under this Agreement, provided that in the event that any Party discovers an error relating to the Purchase Price Calculation subsequent to the applicable ten (10) day period but prior to the Closing Date, the discovering Party shall promptly notify the other Parties and the Sellers shall deliver a revised Purchase Price Calculation to Buyer, and Buyer shall have an additional five (5) days to review. Except as contemplated by the immediately preceding proviso, any amounts that were not timely disputed pursuant to a Dispute Notice (or if so disputed, subsequently resolved) may not be disputed absent manifest error or fraud.
(c) If the Parties are unable to resolve Buyer’s objections within the Resolution Period, then all amounts and issues remaining in dispute and Seller’s responses thereto will be submitted by Buyer and Sellers for review by the Independent Accountant. The Parties agree to execute, if requested by the Independent Accountant, a reasonable engagement letter with respect to the determination to be made by the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant will determine only those issues still in dispute at the end of the applicable Resolution Period and the Independent Accountant’s determination will be based upon and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The determination by the Independent Accountant will be based solely on presentations with respect to such disputed items by Buyer and Sellers to the Independent Accountant and not on the Independent Accountant’s independent review. Each of Buyer and Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make its presentation as promptly as practicable following submission to the Independent Accountant of the disputed items, and each such Party will be entitled, as part of its presentation, to respond to the presentation of the other Party and any questions and requests of the Independent Accountant. Discovery shall be limited to documents designated by the Independent Accountant as necessary for it to assess the proper calculation of the Purchase Price, consistent with this Agreement. The Independent Accountant’s determination will be made within nine (9) days after its engagement (which engagement will be made no later than two (2) days after the end of the applicable Resolution Period), or as soon thereafter as possible, and will be set forth in a written statement delivered to Buyer and Sellers. The final Purchase Price Calculation, as finalized by the Independent Accountant, shall be deemed final and conclusive
9
with respect to the Purchase Price and shall be binding on all Parties for all purposes under this Agreement. In deciding any matter, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Buyer or Sellers or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Buyer or Sellers. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant in resolving all such objections shall be borne by (A) Buyer in an amount equal to the proportion of the total disputed amount that the Independent Accountant finds in favor of Sellers and (B) Sellers in an amount equal to the proportion of the total disputed amount that the Independent Accountant finds in favor of Buyer. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Independent Accountant will be borne by the Party incurring such cost and expense. The “Purchase Price” means the Purchase Price as finally adjusted in accordance with this Section 2.5. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5 shall be construed as a waiver or limitation of any rights of any Party under this Agreement, including the right to bring a claim after the Closing Date in respect of a breach by any other Party of any other provision of this Agreement.

7.2 No Conflict.
(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 7.2(a), the execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement and the consummation by Buyer of the Contemplated Transactions to which it is a party will not:

23
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement and the consummation by Buyer of the Contemplated Transactions do not require any consent from, registration, declarations or other filing with or approval or authorization of any Governmental Authority by or with respect to Buyer.
7.3 AML Compliance. The Buyer has established and implemented an anti-money laundering compliance program (“AML Program”) in accordance with Law, including the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (USA PATRIOT Act) of 2001, as amended (the “AML Rules”), reasonably expected to detect and cause the reporting of suspicious transactions in connection with the offering, sale and ownership of Buyer’s direct equity interests. Buyer is in compliance with all AML Rules and Buyer will remain in compliance with such requirements and shall, upon request by the PMF Master Fund or any Seller, provide a certification to the PMF Master Fund or such Seller that, as of the date of such certification (i) its AML Program is consistent with AML Rules, and (ii) it is currently in compliance with all AML Rules.
7.4 Compliance with OFAC. None of Buyer or its Affiliates or, to Buyer’s knowledge, any director or officer of Buyer or any Affiliate, is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”), and neither Buyer nor its Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, take any action for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.
7.5 Terrorist Watch Lists. None of Buyer or its Affiliates or, to Buyer’s knowledge, any director or officer of Buyer or its Affiliates, appears on any terrorist “watch list” or similar restricted parties list maintained by any governmental agency of the United States (including, but not limited to, the Central Intelligence Agency, Department of the Treasury, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Internal Revenue Service, OFAC and SEC) or Interpol.
7.6 Litigation. No Actions before any Regulatory Authority or Governmental Authority are pending against Buyer or any of its Affiliates and, to knowledge of Buyer, no such Action has been threatened in writing except where any such Action would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Buyer.
7.7 No Brokers. Other than Park Hill Group (whose fees are being paid by the Sellers (or their equity owners)), no agent, broker, investment banker, financial adviser or other Person has been engaged by the Buyer that is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other similar commission or fee in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions.
7.8 Financial Ability. Buyer has timely access to all funds necessary to pay the Purchase Price and related fees and expenses and Buyer has the financial capacity to perform all of its other obligations under this Agreement. Buyer has, on the date hereof, total assets, including cash and capital commitments, sufficient to meet the Purchase Price, and will have assets in at least such amount on hand as of the Closing. Any funds raised by the Buyer to finance the Purchase Price have been raised in compliance with all Laws.
24
7.9 Registration; Investment.
(a) Buyer is acquiring the PMF Master Fund Interests for its own account with the present intention of holding such securities for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of such securities in violation of any Securities Laws (although Buyer is a passive investment fund owned primarily by passive investment funds). Buyer is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Buyer acknowledges that the PMF Master Fund Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act and that the PMF Master Fund Interests may not be sold, transferred, offered for sale, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless such transfer, sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition is pursuant to the terms of an effective registration statement under applicable Securities Laws or sold pursuant to an exemption from registration thereunder.
(b) Buyer has been furnished with all materials relating to the Business, finances and operations of the PMF Master Fund and all materials relating to the PMF Master Fund Tender Offers that have been reasonably requested by the Buyer, including, without limitation, the SEC Documents. Buyer understands that its investment in the PMF Master Fund Interests involve a high degree of risk. Buyer (i) is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the PMF Master Fund Interests including a total loss, (ii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the proposed investment in the PMF Master Fund Interests and (iii) has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Representatives of the PMF Master Fund concerning the financial condition and Business of the PMF Master Fund and other matters related to an investment in the PMF Master Fund Interests. Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the PMF Master Fund Interests.
(c) Buyer is not and, after giving effect to the Contemplated Transactions, will not be required to register as an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act, because Buyer relies on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.
(d) Buyer has not, and has no plans to, take any action that would (i) effect or consummate any transaction or chain of transactions that would involve any “public offering” of the Buyer’s securities within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act; or (ii) effect or consummate any transaction or chain of transactions that could be deemed a general solicitation of the Buyer’s securities under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
7.10 No Regulatory Impediment. Based on the SEC’s verbal “no objections” response it provided on January 30, 2014 with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, there is no fact relating to Buyer’s business, operations, financial condition or legal status that might reasonably be expected to impair in any material respect its ability to obtain all consents, orders, authorizations, and approvals from any Governmental Authority necessary for the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions within the time period contemplated by this Agreement.
25
ARTICLE VIII
COVENANTS

8.2 Certain Prohibited Actions of Buyer. Buyer covenants and agrees that, from and after the date hereof, it shall not (a) effect, or enter into any agreement with respect to, any transaction or chain of transactions that would involve a “public offering” of the Buyer’s securities within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act); (b) effect, or enter into any agreement with respect to, any transaction or chain of transactions that could be deemed a general solicitation of the Buyer’s securities under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act; or (c) take any action that, for federal, State or local income, single business and franchise Tax purposes, would reasonably be expected to cause the PMF Master Fund to be treated as an association or publicly-traded partnership taxable as a corporation (including, without limitation, taking any action that would cause or require any equity interests in the PMF Master Fund, including the PMF Master Fund Interests, to be traded on an established securities market or be readily tradable on a secondary market). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, upon consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, (i) it will be bound by certain voting and other governance restrictions set forth in the Governing Documents of the PMF Master Fund and (ii) Buyer and any director whom Buyer appoints to the PMF Master Fund board of directors will have certain obligations under Section 30(h) of the Investment Company Act. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer’s obligations set forth in this Section 8.2 shall survive indefinitely unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 10.3.
8.3 Transfer Restrictions. Until the twelve-month anniversary of the date hereof, none of the Sellers will permit transfer of any equity interests in such Seller that would be deemed to be a transfer “for value”. For the avoidance of doubt, a transfer “for value” shall not include estate planning transfers, transfers by operation of law due to death or other similar transfers. Until the twelve-month anniversary of the date hereof, none of the Sellers will transfer any portion of its interest in the PMF Master Fund without the consent of the Buyer.
8.4 Cooperation; Governmental Consents and Approvals.

Each Party shall cooperate fully with the other Parties in promptly seeking to obtain all such
26
authorizations, consents and approvals. The Parties shall not take any action that is reasonably likely to have the effect of unreasonably delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required authorizations, consents or approvals. The Adviser shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each of the Sellers and the PMF Master Fund to comply with each of their respective obligations hereunder.
8.5 [Reserved.]
8.6 Further Assurances. On and after the Closing Date, and for no further consideration, the Parties will take all appropriate action and execute all documents, instruments or conveyances of any kind which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to consummate the Contemplated Transactions.

Each Party shall give prompt written notice to the other Parties of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any Event that is likely to result in the failure of a condition set forth in Article IX to be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to a Party receiving such notice.
8.9 PMF Assets; Fair Value. On or prior to April 21, 2014 (or July 21, 2014 if the Partnership Division Date occurs on June 30, 2014), the PMF Master Fund shall deliver to Buyer an investment schedule (“Investment Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, all cash and investment assets (including any Portfolio Funds transferred) (“PMF Assets”) held by the PMF Master Fund, as well as the Buyer’s indirect percentage ownership of such PMF Assets, in each case as of the Partnership Division Date. The PMF Master Fund shall own all right, title and interest in and to the PMF Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances, except Permitted Encumbrances, as of the Closing Date. The Investment Schedule shall be unaudited and shall set forth the “fair value” of the PMF Assets as of the Partnership Division Date. All information included in the Investment Schedule shall be true and correct in all material respects and current as of the Partnership Division Date. On or prior to April 21, 2014 (or July 21, 2014 if the Partnership Division Date occurs on June 30, 2014), the PMF Master Fund shall deliver to Buyer the PMF Master Fund’s trial balance sheet as of the Partnership Division Date.
8.10 Remittance of Distributions. From and after the Closing Date, the Adviser shall cause the Endowment Fund to contemporaneously provide the PMF Master Fund (or its designee) with a copy of all letters, memoranda, notices, emails, forms, financial statements and reports, capital call and distribution notices, Tax information, including IRS forms, or other correspondence or distributions (in cash or otherwise) received by the Endowment Fund or any affiliated entity from a Portfolio Fund or a Portfolio Fund Manager that relate to the PMF Assets. The Adviser shall cause the Endowment Fund to remit any such distributions in cash, securities or other property pursuant to the preceding sentence to the PMF Master Fund within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Endowment Fund.
27

To the extent that the expiration of the Tender Offers does not conclude by March 31, 2014, the Adviser will use best efforts to redeem as much of such “Core Allocation Strategy Hedge Funds” as it reasonably determines to be prudent based upon the expected outcome of the Tender Offers.
8.13 Director Nominees. Buyer will ensure that its director nominees to the PMF Master Fund board of directors would not be considered “Bad Boys” or “Bad Actors” under Rule 262 of Regulation A, Rule 507 of Regulation D or Rule 506 of Regulation D and are not ineligible Persons as described in Section 9(a) of the Investment Company Act.

In furtherance of such business, the Partnership may fund the capital calls of such Investment Funds, engage in secondary transactions with respect to such Investment Funds (subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement), hold and manage assets distributed in-kind by Investment Funds and, for cash and liquidity management purposes, purchase, sell, invest and trade in Temporary Investments. Portions of the Partnership’s assets (which may constitute, in the aggregate, all of the Partnership’s assets) may be invested in Investment Funds that invest and trade in Securities. The Partnership may execute, deliver and perform all contracts, agreements and other undertakings and engage in all activities and transactions as the General Partner, the Directors or the Adviser may deem necessary or advisable to carry out such business.
(b) The Partnership will operate as a closed-end, management investment company in accordance with the 1940 Act and subject to any fundamental policies and investment restrictions described in the Form N-2.
(c) The Partnership may designate from time to time persons to act as signatories for the Partnership, including, without limitation, persons authorized to execute and deliver any filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or applicable federal or state regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations.
2.6 General Partner.
(a) The Endowment Fund GP, L.P. shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner upon its execution of this Agreement. The General Partner may admit to the Partnership as a substituted General Partner any Person to which it has Transferred its Interest as the General Partner in accordance with Section 4.3 of this Agreement. Any substituted General Partner will be admitted to the Partnership upon the Transferring General Partner’s consenting to such admission and is authorized to, and will, continue the business of the Partnership without dissolution. The name and mailing address of the General Partner and the Capital Contribution of the General Partner will be reflected on the books and records of the Partnership. If at any time the Partnership has more than one General Partner, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, any action allowed to be taken, or required to be taken, by the General Partners may be taken only with the unanimous approval of all of the General Partners.
(b) Each General Partner will serve for the duration of the term of the Partnership, unless the General Partner ceases to be a General Partner in accordance with Section 4.1 of this Agreement.

2.7 Limited Partners. The General Partner may, at any time and without advance notice to or consent from any other Partner, at the direction of the Board of Directors, admit to the Partnership any Person who purchases the Interests in the Partnership of one or more existing Partners in accordance with Section 4.4 of this Agreement and who agrees to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement as an additional Limited Partner. The admission of any Person as a substitute Limited Partner will be effective upon the General Partner’s approval of such Person’s purchase of an Interest and the execution and delivery by, or on behalf of, the substitute Limited Partner of this Agreement or an instrument that constitutes the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The General Partner will cause the books and records of the Partnership to reflect the name and Capital Account of the substitute Limited Partner. Other than as set forth in Section 4.4, the General Partner may not admit any additional Partner to the Partnership.
2.8 Both General and Limited Partner. A Partner may be simultaneously a General Partner and a Limited Partner, in which event the Partner’s rights and obligations in each capacity will be determined separately in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and as provided in the Delaware Act.
2.9 Limited Liability. Except as expressly required under this Agreement or as required under applicable law, a Limited Partner will not be liable for the Partnership’s obligations in any amount in excess of the Limited Partner’s Capital Account balance, plus the Limited Partner’s share of undistributed profits and assets. Except as provided in Section 5.2 of this Agreement, no Limited Partner shall be obligated to return to the Partnership any amounts distributed to such Limited Partner.
2.10 Directors.
(a) There are five (5) Directors as of the date of this Agreement. The number of Directors may be increased by a vote of a majority of the Independent Directors then in office, up to a maximum number of seven (7), and may be decreased by a vote of a majority of the Independent Directors then in office and a Minimum Limited Partner Approval, but in no event shall it be fewer than the minimum number of directors permitted to corporations organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. No reduction in the number of Directors will serve to effect the removal of any Director. Each Partner approves the delegation by the General Partner to the Directors, in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement, of certain of the General Partner’s rights and powers.
(b) Each Director will serve for the duration of the term of the Partnership, unless his or her status as a Director is terminated sooner in accordance with Section 2.10(d) of this Agreement. Except to the extent the 1940 Act requires election by Limited Partners, if any vacancy in the position of a Director occurs, such vacancy may be filled by a unanimous vote of the then remaining Directors, which in the event that the number of Directors has been fixed at seven (7) shall require the affirmative vote of at least six (6) Directors; provided that, in the event that the Directors do not appoint an individual to serve in such capacity within 60 days after such vacancy occurs, or if there are fewer than six (6) Directors and the size of the Board of Directors has been fixed at seven (7), the vacancy shall be filled by a vote of the Limited Partners in accordance with Section 3.4(a). Independent Directors will at all times constitute at least a majority of the Directors then serving. An Independent Director will be replaced by another
8
Independent Director selected and nominated by the remaining Independent Directors, or in a manner otherwise permissible under the 1940 Act. Subject to the foregoing and applicable law, Limited Partners holding at least 20% of outstanding Interests may nominate a Director to fill a vacancy in the position of a Director.
(c) If no Director remains, the General Partner will promptly call a meeting of the Partners, to be held within 120 days after the date on which the last Director ceased to act in that capacity, for the purpose of determining whether to continue the business of the Partnership and, if the business is to be continued, approving the appointment of the requisite number of Directors. If the Partners determine at the meeting not to continue the business of the Partnership, or if the approval of the appointment of the requisite number of Directors is not approved within 120 days after the date on which the last Director ceased to act in that capacity, then the Partnership will be dissolved in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement and the assets of the Partnership will be liquidated and distributed in accordance with Section 6.2 of this Agreement.
(d) The status of a Director will terminate (1) if the Director dies; (2) if the Director resigns as a Director; (3) if the Director is removed in accordance with Section 2.10(e) of this Agreement; or (4) on December 31 in the year in which the Director reaches 82 years of age, unless such termination due to age is waived by resolution of a majority of the Directors.
(e) Any Director may be removed with or without Cause only by a unanimous vote of the other Directors. The Board of Directors may only consider the removal of one Director at a time, and a vacancy created by a Director pursuant to Section 2.10(d) must be filled before the Board of Directors can remove any other Director. Any Director may be removed for Cause by a vote of the Limited Partners in accordance with Section 3.4(a).
(f) The Directors may establish and maintain committees of the Board of Directors, and the Directors may grant to such committees the authority to, among other things: value the assets of the Partnership; select and nominate the Independent Directors of the Partnership; recommend to the Board of Directors the compensation to be paid to the Independent Directors; and recommend to the Board of Directors the firm of certified public accountants that will conduct the Partnership’s audits. Any Director may attend meetings of any committee of the Board of Directors established pursuant to this Section 2.10(f) or Section 2.10(g), and all Directors shall receive notice of such meetings and any relevant materials contemporaneously, whether or not such Director is a member of such committee, provided however, that no Director other than an Independent Director shall be entitled to attend or be present during executive sessions of the Independent Directors.
(g) The Directors may establish or designate committees of the Board of Directors or the Partnership, whose members may include the Directors and/or other Persons who are not Directors, to provide advice and other services to the Partnership, which committees may include (but are not limited to) a committee that will value the assets of the Partnership.
(h) The Independent Directors will receive compensation for their services as Independent Directors, as determined by the Board of Directors. Such compensation in the aggregate shall not exceed $270,000 in any Fiscal Year.

ARTICLE III
MANAGEMENT; ADVICE AND MANAGEMENT
3.1 Management and Control.
(a) The General Partner delegates to the Directors those rights and powers of the General Partner necessary for the Directors to manage and control the business affairs of the Partnership and to carry out their oversight obligations with respect to the Partnership required under the 1940 Act, state law, and any other applicable laws or regulations. Rights and powers delegated to the Directors include, without limitation, the authority as Directors to oversee and to establish policies regarding the management, conduct and operation of the Partnership’s business, and to do all things necessary and proper as Directors to carry out the objective and business of the Partnership, including, without limitation, the power to engage the Adviser to provide Advice and Management and to remove the Adviser, as well as to exercise any other rights and powers expressly given to the Directors under this Agreement. The Partners intend that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (1) each Director is vested with the same powers and authority on behalf of the Partnership as are customarily vested in each director of a Delaware corporation and (2) each Independent Director is vested with the same powers and authority on behalf of the Partnership as are customarily vested in each director who is not an “interested person” (as that term is defined in the 0000 Xxx) of a closed-end, management investment company registered under the 1940 Act that is organized as a Delaware corporation. During any period in which the Partnership has no Directors, the General Partner will manage and control the Partnership. Each Director will not, for any purpose, be considered a General Partner. Notwithstanding the delegation described in this Section 3.1(a), the General Partner will not cease to be the General Partner and will continue to be liable as such and in no event will a Director be considered a General Partner by agreement, estoppel or otherwise as a result of the performance of his or her duties under this Agreement or otherwise. The General Partner retains those rights, powers and duties that have not been delegated under this Agreement. Any Director may be admitted to the Partnership in accordance with Section 2.7 of this Agreement and make Capital Contributions and own an Interest, in which case the Director will also become a Limited Partner.
(b) For each taxable year of the Partnership, the Partnership will file a tax return as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Partnership shall not elect to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal, state or local income tax purposes under Section 301.7701-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations or under any corresponding provision of state or local law. The Partnership shall not participate in the establishment of an “established securities market” (within the meaning of Section 1.7704-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations) or a “secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof” (within the meaning of Section 1.7704-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations) or, in either case, the inclusion of interests in the Partnership thereon. All decisions for the Partnership relating to tax matters including, without limitation, whether to make any tax elections (including the election under Section 754 of the Code), the positions to be made on the Partnership’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, will be made by the Directors. All actions (other than ministerial actions) taken by the tax matters Partner, as designated in Section 3.1(c) below, will be subject to the approval of the Directors.
10
(c) The General Partner will be the designated tax matters Partner for purposes of the Code. Each Partner agrees not to treat, on its own income tax return, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of the item by the Partnership without first providing written notice to the General Partner. The tax matters Partner will have the exclusive authority and discretion to make any elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under any provisions of the Code or any other revenue laws.
(d) No Limited Partner will have any right to participate in or take any part in the management or control of the Partnership’s business, and no Limited Partner will have any right, power or authority to act for or bind the Partnership. Limited Partners will have the right to vote on any matters only as provided in this Agreement or on any matters that require the approval of the holders of voting securities under the 1940 Act and will have no right to exercise any other vote granted to Limited Partners under the Delaware Act, any such rights being vested in the Directors (or the General Partner if there are no Directors) and may be exercised without requiring the approval of the Limited Partners.
3.2 Powers Reserved by the General Partner. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner retains all rights, duties and powers to manage the affairs of the Partnership that may not be delegated under Delaware law, and that are not otherwise delegated by the General Partner to the Directors or assumed by the Adviser or any other Person under the terms of any agreement between the Partnership and the Adviser or any other Person. Specifically, and without limitation, the General Partner will retain full power and authority on behalf of and in the name of the Partnership:
(1) to issue to any Partner an instrument certifying that the Partner is the owner of an Interest;
(2) to call and conduct meetings of Partners at the Partnership’s principal office or elsewhere as it may determine, and to assist the Directors in calling and conducting meetings of the Directors;
(3) to engage and terminate attorneys, accountants (subject to the provisions of the 0000 Xxx) and other professional advisers and consultants as the General Partner deems necessary or advisable in connection with the affairs of the Partnership or as may be directed by the Directors;
(4) to act as tax matters Partner in accordance with Section 3.1(c) of this Agreement, and to assist in the preparation and filing of any required tax or information returns to be made by the Partnership;
(5) as directed by the Directors, to commence, defend and conclude any action, suit, investigation or other proceeding that pertains to the Partnership or any assets of the Partnership;
(6) as directed by the Directors, to arrange for the purchase of any insurance covering the potential liabilities of the Partnership or relating to the performance of the Directors, the General Partner, the Adviser or any of their principals, Partners, directors, officers, members, employees and agents;
11
(7) to execute, deliver and perform any contracts, agreements and other undertakings, and to engage in activities and transactions that are necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the business of the Partnership and to bind the Partnership by those contracts, agreements, and other undertakings, provided that the officers of the Partnership, as directed by the Directors, may execute and deliver contracts and agreements on behalf of the Partnership and bind the Partnership to those contracts and agreements;
(8) to make determinations regarding the Transfer of Interests, and to execute, deliver and perform administration agreements appointing an administrator to perform various administrative action on behalf of the Partnership, escrow agreements and custodial agreements without the consent of or notice to any other Person, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement;
(9) as provided in Section 5.6 of this Agreement, to make determinations regarding appropriate reserves to be created for the contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities of the Partnership;
(10) as provided in Section 7.2 of this Agreement, to make determinations regarding adjustments to the computation of Net Profit or Net Loss and allocations among the Partners under Article V of this Agreement;
(11) to manage or oversee the general administrative and operational aspects of the Partnership; and
(12) as directed by the Directors (following unanimous approval of the Directors), to create one or more subsidiaries for purposes of conducting all or a portion of the Partnership’s business, provided that any such subsidiary shall not take any action that the Partnership would be prohibited by this Agreement from taking directly.
3.3 Actions by Directors.
(a) Unless provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Directors will act only: (1) by the affirmative vote of a majority (or other requisite threshold) of the Directors (which majority will include any requisite number of Independent Directors required by the 0000 Xxx) present at a meeting duly called at which a quorum of the Directors is present either in person or, to the extent consistent with the provisions of the 1940 Act, by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other; or (2) by unanimous written consent of all of the Directors without a meeting, if permissible under the 0000 Xxx.
(b) The Directors may designate from time to time a Director or an officer of the Partnership or the General Partner who will preside at all meetings. Meetings of the Directors may be called by the General Partner, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or any two Directors, and may be held on any date and at any time and place determined by the Directors. Each Director will be entitled to receive written notice of the date, time and place of a meeting within a reasonable time in advance of the meeting. Notice need not be given to any Director who attends a meeting without objecting to the lack of notice or who executes a written waiver of notice with respect to the meeting. A majority of the Directors then in office will constitute a quorum at any meeting of Directors.
12
(c) The Directors may appoint from time to time agents and employees of the Partnership who will have the same powers and duties on behalf of the Partnership as are customarily vested in officers of a corporation incorporated under Delaware law, or such other powers and duties as may be designated by the Directors, in their sole discretion, and designate them as officers or agents of the Partnership by resolution of the Directors specifying their titles or functions.
3.4 Meetings of Partners.
(a) Actions requiring the vote of the Partners may be taken at any duly constituted meeting of the Partners at which a quorum is present or, except as otherwise required by the 1940 Act, by means of a written consent. Meetings of the Partners may be called by the General Partner, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office, or by Limited Partners holding at least twenty percent (20%) of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Limited Partners, and may be held at any time, date and place determined by the General Partner in the case of meetings called by the General Partner, at such time, date and place requested by the Partners in the case of meetings called by the Partners and at any time, date and place determined by the Directors in the case of meetings called by the Directors. In each case, the General Partner will provide notice of the meeting, stating the date, time and place of the meeting and the record date for the meeting, to each Partner entitled to vote at the meeting within a reasonable time prior to the meeting. Failure to receive notice of a meeting on the part of any Partner will not affect the validity of any act or proceeding of the meeting, so long as a quorum is present at the meeting. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, only matters set out in the notice of a meeting may be voted on by the Partners at the meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of Partners holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Partners as of the record date will constitute a quorum at any meeting of Partners. In the absence of a quorum, a meeting may be adjourned to the time or times as determined by the General Partner and communicated to the Directors in the manner described above in this Section 3.4(a). Except as otherwise required by any provision of this Agreement or of the 1940 Act, (1) those candidates receiving a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of Partners called pursuant to Section 2.10(b) or (c) of this Agreement will be elected as Directors; and (2) all other actions of the Partners taken at a meeting will require the affirmative vote of Partners holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by those Partners who are present in person or by proxy at the meeting.
(b) Each Partner will be entitled to cast at any meeting of Partners or pursuant to a written consent a number of votes equivalent to the Partner’s Investment Percentage as of the record date for the meeting or the date of the written consent. The General Partner will establish a record date not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the date of any meeting of Partners or mailing (including by electronic transmission) to the Partners of any written consent, to determine eligibility to vote at the meeting and the number of votes that each Partner will be entitled to cast at the meeting, and will maintain for each record date a list setting out the name of each Partner and the number of votes that each Partner will be entitled to cast at the meeting.
(c) A Partner may vote all or any portion of its Interest (and may vote part of its Interest in favor and part of its Interest against any proposal) at any meeting of Partners by a properly executed proxy transmitted to the Partnership at any time at or before the time of the
13
meeting by telegram, telecopier or other means of electronic communication or other readable reproduction as contemplated by the provisions relating to proxies applicable to corporations incorporated under the laws of Delaware now or in the future in effect. A proxy may be suspended or revoked, as the case may be, by the Partner executing the proxy by a later writing delivered to the Partnership at any time prior to exercise of the proxy or if the Partner executing the proxy is present at the meeting and votes in person. Any action of the Partners that is permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Partners may be taken without a meeting (a) if permitted under the 1940 Act and (b) if consents in writing, setting out the action to be taken, are signed by Partners holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast or any greater percentage as may be required under this Agreement or under the 1940 Act to approve the action.
3.5 Advice and Management.
(a) The Directors will, among their powers, have the authority to cause the Partnership to engage the Adviser to provide Advice and Management to the Partnership under their direction, subject to any approval of such engagement by the Partners that may be required under the 1940 Act. As directed by the Directors, the Partnership and the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, among its powers described in Section 3.2 of this Agreement, will have the authority to execute, deliver and monitor the performance of any contract or agreement to provide Advice and Management to the Partnership (each, an “Investment Advisory Agreement”). Any such Investment Advisory Agreement will require that the Adviser acknowledge its obligations under this Agreement. Any increase in the amount of the Management Fee to be paid by the Partnership, whether such increase is proposed in the Investment Advisory Agreement or otherwise, shall require the greater of (i) approval by Partners as required under the 1940 Act; and (ii) Minimum Limited Partner Approval.
(b) So long as the Adviser has been and continues to be authorized to provide Advice and Management pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, it will have, subject to this Agreement and to any policies and restrictions adopted from time to time by the Directors and communicated in writing to the Adviser (in each case, as more fully described in such Investment Advisory Agreement), full discretion and authority on behalf of and in the name of the Partnership (1) to manage the assets and liabilities of the Partnership, and (2) to invest directly the assets of the Partnership in Temporary Investments to ensure the availability of cash as required by the Partnership in the ordinary course of its business. In no case may the Adviser make a new investment in an Investment Fund, except that the Adviser may, on behalf of the Partnership, fund capital calls of Investment Funds consistent with Section 2.5 hereof. In furtherance of, and subject to the provisions of this Section 3.5(b), the Adviser, except as otherwise provided in the applicable Investment Advisory Agreement (and at all times subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act), will have full discretion and authority on behalf of and in the name of the Partnership:
(1) to purchase, sell, exchange, trade and otherwise deal in and with Securities and other property of the Partnership, provided that (a) any sale of an interest in a Hedge Fund earlier than five (5) years after the date of the Partnership Division and (b) any sale of an interest in a Private Equity Fund other than pursuant to Section 6.2, shall require the prior unanimous approval of the Board of Directors;
14
(2) to do any and all acts and exercise all rights with respect to the Partnership’s interest as an investor in any Person, including, without limitation, the voting of limited partnership interests or shares of Investment Funds;
(3) to negotiate the terms of and enter into agreements, consistent with Section 2.5(a), with Investment Managers and Investment Funds that provide for, among other things, the payment of management fees, reimbursement of expenses and allocations of profits to Investment Managers and the indemnification by the Partnership of Investment Managers and Investment Funds to the same or different extent as provided for with respect to the Adviser, and to amend, modify, terminate or grant waivers in respect of those agreements;
(4) to open, maintain and close accounts with brokers and dealers, to make all decisions relating to the manner, method and timing of Securities and other investment transactions, to select and place orders with brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries for the execution, clearance or settlement of any transactions on behalf of the Partnership on those terms that the Adviser considers appropriate, and to grant limited discretionary authorization to brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries with respect to price, time and other terms of investment and trading transactions;
(5) to borrow from banks or other financial institutions and to pledge the assets of the Partnership as collateral for those borrowings, to exercise or refrain from exercising all rights regarding the Partnership’s investments, and to instruct custodians regarding the settlement of transactions, the disbursement of payments to the Partnership with respect to the payment of Partnership expenses, including those relating to the organization and registration of the Partnership, provided that the Partnership may only borrow to fund capital calls of Investment Funds and for cash management purposes and, subject to regulatory requirements, the Partnership shall not create or incur indebtedness (or guarantee indebtedness for borrowed money) that would cause the aggregate indebtedness of the Partnership for borrowed money plus potential liability of the Partnership with respect to guarantees of indebtedness for borrowed money to exceed 5% of the Net Assets;
(6) subject to Section 3.5(b)(7) of this Agreement, to engage the services of Persons, including Affiliates of the Adviser, to assist the Adviser in providing, or to provide under the Adviser’s control and supervision, Advice and Management to the Partnership at the expense of the Adviser and to amend, modify or terminate or grant waivers in respect of these services; and
(7) subject to applicable law and the terms of this Agreement, to take all such other actions that the Adviser considers necessary or advisable in furtherance of its duties and powers under the applicable Investment Advisory Agreement.
(c) The Adviser, to the extent of its powers set out in this Agreement or otherwise vested in it by action of the Directors not inconsistent with this Agreement, is an agent of the Partnership, and the actions of the Adviser taken or refrained from being taken in accordance with such powers will bind the Partnership.
15
3.6 Custody of Assets of the Partnership.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner will not have any authority to hold or have possession or custody of any funds, Securities or other property of the Partnership. The physical possession of all funds, Securities or other property of the Partnership will at all times be held, controlled and administered by one or more custodians retained by the Partnership. The General Partner will have no responsibility, other than that associated with the oversight and supervision of custodians retained by the Partnership, with respect to the collection of income or the physical acquisition or safekeeping of the funds, Securities or other property of the Partnership, all duties of collection, physical acquisition or safekeeping being the sole obligation of such custodians.
(b) With respect to any Investment Fund securities held by the Partnership as of the date on which the Partnership becomes registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and during any period of time in which the Partnership remains so registered, such securities shall be under the control of one or more of the Partnership’s custodian(s), as may be engaged from time to time, pursuant to Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder, and no person shall be authorized or permitted to have access to such securities except in accordance with Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder, and consistent with the terms of the Partnership’s agreement with the relevant Partnership custodian.
3.7 Brokerage. In the course of selecting brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries for the execution, clearance and settlement of transactions for the Partnership under Sections 3.5(b)(4) and (5) of this Agreement, the Adviser may, subject to policies adopted by the Partnership and to the provisions of applicable law, agree to commissions, fees and other charges on behalf of the Partnership as the Adviser deems reasonable in the circumstances, taking into account all such factors as it deems relevant, including the reliability of the broker, financial responsibility of the broker, strength of the broker, ability of the broker to efficiently execute transactions, the broker’s facilities, and the broker’s provision or payment of the costs of research and other services that are of benefit to the Partnership even if the cost of these services does not represent the lowest cost available. The Adviser will be under no obligation to combine or arrange orders so as to obtain reduced charges unless otherwise required under the U.S. Federal securities laws.
3.8 Other Activities.
(a) None of the General Partner, the Adviser and their principals, Partners, directors, officers, members, employees and beneficial owners nor the Directors will be required to devote full time to the affairs of the Partnership, but each will devote such time as each may reasonably be required to perform its obligations under this Agreement and under the 0000 Xxx.
(b) The Adviser, the Directors, any Partner, and any Affiliate of any Partner may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures or commercial dealings of every kind and description, independently or with others, including, but not limited to, acquisition and disposition of Securities, provision of investment advisory or brokerage services, serving as directors, officers, employees, advisors or agents of other companies, partners of any partnership,
16
members of any limited liability company, or trustees of any trust, or entering into any other commercial arrangements. No Partner will have any rights in or to such activities of any other Partner, the Adviser, the Directors or any Affiliate of any Partner or any profits derived from these activities.
(c) The General Partner, the Adviser and their principals, partners, directors, officers, members, employees and beneficial owners and the Directors, from time to time may acquire, possess, manage, hypothecate and dispose of Securities or other investment assets, and engage in any other investment transaction for any account over which they exercise discretionary authority, including their own accounts, the accounts of their families, the account of any entity in which they have a beneficial interest or the accounts of others for whom or which they may provide investment advisory or other services.
(d) To the extent that at law or in equity the Directors, the Adviser or the General Partner has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating to those duties to the Partnership or to any other Partner or other Person bound by this Agreement, any such Person acting under this Agreement will not be liable to the Partnership or to any other Partner or other Person bound by this Agreement 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 the General Partner, the Adviser or the Directors otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace the other duties and liabilities of the General Partner, the Adviser or the Directors.
3.9 Duty of Care.
(a) The Directors, the Adviser and the General Partner, including any officer, director, Partner, member, principal, employee or agent of any of them, will not be liable to the Partnership or to any of its Partners for any loss or damage occasioned by any act or omission in the performance of the Person’s services under this Agreement, in the absence of a final judicial or arbitral decision on the merits from which no further right to appeal may be taken that the loss is due to: (i) an act or omission of the Person constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the Person’s duties under this Agreement or (ii) a material breach of this Agreement.
(b) No Director who has been designated an “audit committee financial expert” (for purposes of Section 407 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 or any successor provision thereto, and any rules issued thereunder by the Commission) in the Partnership’s registration statement or other reports required to be filed with the Commission shall be subject to any greater duty of care in discharging such Director’s duties and responsibilities by virtue of such designation than is any Director who has not been so designated.
(c) Limited Partners not in breach of any obligation under this Agreement or under any agreement pursuant to which the Limited Partner subscribed for Interests will be liable to the Partnership, any Partner or third parties only as required by this Agreement or applicable law.
17
3.10 Indemnification.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership will, subject to Section 3.10(c) of this Agreement, indemnify each General Partner and Adviser (including for this purpose each officer, director, member, Partner, principal, employee or agent of, or any Person who controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, a General Partner or Adviser or Partner of a General Partner or Adviser, and their executors, heirs, assigns, successors or other legal representatives) and each Director (and his employer, executors, heirs, assigns, successors or other legal representatives) (each such Person being referred to as an “indemnitee”) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses arising by reason of being or having been a General Partner, Adviser or Director of the Partnership, or the past or present performance of services to the Partnership by the indemnitee, except to the extent that the loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense has been finally determined in a judicial or arbitral decision on the merits from which no further right to appeal may be taken in any such action, suit, investigation or other proceeding to have been incurred or suffered by the indemnitee by reason of: (i) willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the indemnitee’s office or (ii) material breach of this Agreement by such indemnitee. These losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses include, but are not limited to, amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, or as fines or penalties, and counsel fees and expenses incurred in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit, investigation or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any judicial, arbitral, administrative or legislative body, in which the indemnitee may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise, or with which such indemnitee may be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter. The rights of indemnification provided under this Section 3.10 are not to be construed so as to provide for indemnification of an indemnitee for any liability (including liability under U.S. Federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on Persons that act in good faith) to the extent (but only to the extent) that indemnification would be in violation of applicable law, but will be construed so as to effectuate the applicable provisions of this Section 3.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims, actions, suits and proceedings relating to or arising out of the internal affairs of the General Partner or the Adviser (including any claim solely involving the owners, directors or employees of such Persons) shall not be covered by the indemnification provisions of this Section 3.10.
(b) Expenses, including counsel fees and expenses, incurred by any indemnitee (but excluding amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, or as fines or penalties) may be paid from time to time by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of any action, suit, investigation or other proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnitee to repay to the Partnership amounts paid if a determination is made that indemnification of the expenses is not authorized under Section 3.10(a) of this Agreement, so long as (1) the indemnitee provides security for the undertaking, (2) the Partnership is insured by or on behalf of the indemnitee against losses arising by reason of the indemnitee’s failure to fulfill his, her or its undertaking, or (3) a majority of the Independent Directors (excluding any Director who is either seeking advancement of expenses under this Agreement or is or has been a party to any other action, suit, investigation or other proceeding involving claims similar to those involved in the action, suit, investigation or proceeding giving rise to a claim for advancement of expenses under this Agreement) or independent legal counsel in a written opinion determines, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that reason exists to believe that the indemnitee ultimately will be entitled to indemnification.
18
(c) As to the disposition of any action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (whether by a compromise payment, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise) without an adjudication or a decision on the merits by a court, or by any other body before which the proceeding has been brought, that an indemnitee is liable to the Partnership or its Partners by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the indemnitee’s office, indemnification will be provided in accordance with Section 3.10(a) of this Agreement if (1) approved as in the best interests of the Partnership by a majority of the Independent Directors (excluding any Director who is either seeking indemnification under this Agreement or is or has been a party to any other action, suit, investigation or proceeding involving claims similar to those involved in the action, suit, investigation or proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement) upon a determination, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that the indemnitee acted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that the actions were in the best interests of the Partnership and that the indemnitee is not liable to the Partnership or its Partners by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the indemnitee’s office, or (2) the Directors secure a written opinion of independent legal counsel, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), to the effect that providing indemnification hereunder to such indemnitee would not result in protecting the indemnitee against any liability to the Partnership or its Partners to which the indemnitee would otherwise be subject by reason of the indemnitee’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the indemnitee’s office.
(d) Any indemnification or advancement of expenses made in accordance with this Section 3.10 will not prevent the recovery from any indemnitee of any amount if the indemnitee subsequently is determined in a final judicial or arbitral decision on the merits in any action, suit, investigation or proceeding involving the liability or expense that gave rise to the indemnification or advancement of expenses to be liable to the Partnership or its Partners by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the indemnitee’s office. In any suit brought by an indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification under this Section 3.10, it will be a defense that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct described in this Section 3.10. In any suit in the name of the Partnership to recover any indemnification or advancement of expenses made in accordance with this Section 3.10, the Partnership will be entitled to recover the expenses upon a final adjudication from which no further right of appeal may be taken. In any suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover any indemnification or advancement of expenses made in accordance with this Section 3.10, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to any indemnification or advancement of expenses, under this Section 3.10 will be on the Partnership (or any Partner acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the Partnership or its Partners).
(e) An indemnitee may not satisfy any right of indemnification or advancement of expenses granted in this Section 3.10 or to which he, she or it may otherwise be entitled except out of the assets of the Partnership, and no Partner will be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses.
19
(f) The rights of indemnification provided in this Section 3.10 will not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any Person may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law. Nothing contained in this Section 3.10 will affect the power of the Partnership to purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of any General Partner, any Director, the Adviser or other Person.
(g) The Partnership may, with the unanimous consent of the Directors, enter into agreements indemnifying Persons providing services to the Partnership to the same, lesser or greater extent as set out in this Section 3.10.
3.11 Fees, Expenses and Reimbursement.
(a) The Partnership will compensate each Independent Director for his or her services rendered in connection with the Partnership as may be agreed to by the Directors and the General Partner. In addition, the Partnership will reimburse the Directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in performing their duties with respect to the Partnership.
(b) The Partnership will bear all expenses incurred in connection with its business other than those specifically required to be borne by the Adviser under this Agreement or an Investment Advisory Agreement. The Partnership shall not enter into an Investment Advisory Agreement with any Adviser unless such Adviser, pursuant to such Investment Advisory Agreement or otherwise, agrees to waive and/or reimburse the Partnership for its Management Fee and, to the extent necessary, reimburse the Master Fund for expenses incurred, solely to the extent necessary to limit the total expenses of the Partnership in each Fiscal Year to an amount equal to 1.25% of the Partnership’s Net Assets, excluding fees and expenses directly charged by underlying investment funds and underlying investment fund managers, borrowing and other trading and execution costs and fees, taxes, litigation and indemnification expenses, judgments and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Partnership’s business (“Excluded Expenses”). Such 1.25% limitation shall be applied on an annualized basis, such that total expenses incurred by the Partnership through the end of any fiscal quarter are limited to the pro-rated portion of 1.25% based on the relevant quarter end (e.g., as of September 30, the limitation would be 3/4 of 1.25%). To the extent that the Adviser has waived and/or reimbursed the Partnership for its Management Fee or otherwise reimbursed the Partnership pursuant to the foregoing, and such expenses as of the end of any subsequent quarter within the same Fiscal Year are below the foregoing limitation, the Adviser shall be permitted to recover Management Fees it has waived or expenses it has borne hereunder during such Fiscal Year so long as such recoupment does not result in Partnership expenses exceeding such limitation as of the end of such quarter. The Adviser shall provide the Board of Directors with a summary of all Excluded Expenses on a quarterly basis, except that such summary shall not be required to include fees and expenses directly charged by underlying investment funds and underlying investment fund managers. Expenses to be borne by the Partnership include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) all investment-related expenses, including, but not limited to, Management Fees, fees paid and expenses reimbursed, directly or indirectly, to Investment Managers (including management fees, performance or incentive fees or allocations and redemption or withdrawal fees, however titled or structured), all costs and expenses directly related to portfolio transactions and positions for the Partnership’s account, such as direct and indirect expenses associated with the Partnership’s investments, including its investments in Investment Funds, and enforcing the Partnership’s rights in respect of such investments, transfer taxes and premiums, taxes withheld on non-U.S. dividends, fees for data and software providers, professional fees (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of consultants, attorneys and experts) and, if applicable in connection with the Partnership’s temporary or cash management investments), brokerage commissions, and interest and commitment fees on loans and debt balances;
20
(2) all costs and expenses associated with the establishment of any subsidiaries formed for the purposes of conducting all or a portion of the Partnership’s business;
(3) any non-investment-related interest expense;
(4) attorneys’ fees and disbursements associated with reviewing subscription materials in connection with qualifying prospective holders of Transferred Interests;
(5) fees and disbursements of any accountants engaged by the Partnership, and expenses related to the annual audit of the Partnership and compliance with any applicable U.S. Federal or state laws;
(6) fees paid and out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed to the Partnership’s administrator;
(7) recordkeeping, custody and escrow fees and expenses;
(8) the costs of an errors and omissions/directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy and a fidelity bond;
(9) the costs of preparing and mailing reports and other communications, including proxy, tender offer correspondence or similar materials, to Limited Partners;
(10) fees of Independent Directors and travel expenses of Directors relating to meetings of the Board of Directors and committees thereof;
(11) all costs and charges for equipment or services used in preparing or communicating information regarding the Partnership’s transactions or the valuation of its assets among the Adviser and any custodian, administrator or other agent engaged by the Partnership;
(12) any extraordinary expenses, including indemnification expenses as provided for in Section 3.10 of this Agreement; and
(13) any other expenses as may be approved from time to time by the Directors, other than those required to be borne by the Adviser or the General Partner.
(c) The Partnership’s organizational expenses and offering costs will be borne by the Predecessor Partnership.
21
(d) Each of the Adviser and the General Partner will be entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership for any of the above expenses that it pays on behalf of the Partnership, other than as provided in Section 3.11(c) above.
ARTICLE IV
TERMINATION OF STATUS OF GENERAL PARTNER;
REMOVAL OF GENERAL PARTNER; TRANSFERS
4.1 Termination of Status of General Partner. A General Partner will cease to be a General Partner of the Partnership if the General Partner (a) is dissolved or otherwise terminates its existence; (b) voluntarily withdraws as General Partner with Minimum Limited Partner Approval; (c) is removed pursuant to Section 4.2 of this Agreement; (d) Transfers its entire Interest as General Partner as permitted under Section 4.3 of this Agreement and the Person to which the Interest is Transferred is admitted as a substituted General Partner under Section 2.6(a) of this Agreement; or (e) otherwise ceases to be a General Partner under the Delaware Act.
4.2 Removal of General Partner. Any General Partner may be removed by a combination of (i) Minimum Limited Partner Approval, (ii) the unanimous vote of the Directors, and (iii) the appointment of a substituted General Partner who agrees to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.
4.3 Transfer of Interest of General Partner. A General Partner may not Transfer all or any portion of its Interest as the General Partner without the unanimous consent of the Board of Directors, and any such Transfer shall only be to a Person who has agreed to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement. If a General Partner Transfers its entire Interest as General Partner, it will not cease to be a General Partner unless and until the transferee is admitted to the Partnership as a substituted General Partner pursuant to Section 2.6(a) of this Agreement.
4.4 Transfer of Interests of Limited Partners.
(a) Any Interest or portion of any Interest held by a Limited Partner may be Transferred only (1) by operation of law pursuant to the death, bankruptcy, insolvency, adjudicated incompetence, or dissolution of the Limited Partner; or (2) with the written consent of the General Partner at the direction of the Board of Directors, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a proposed Transfer pursuant to a Limited Partner’s sale of all or a portion of its Interest prior to the 12 month anniversary of the date on which the Partnership enters into the Purchase and Sale Agreement to facilitate the Partnership Division may only be made following unanimous approval by the Directors and, thereafter, following approval by a majority of the Directors. In considering a request for consent to a proposed Transfer, the Partnership may consult with legal counsel to the Partnership to determine whether or not the Transfer would cause the Partnership to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation. In addition, the General Partner may require that the Person to whom or which an Interest or portion of an Interest is Transferred (or each of the Person’s equity owners if the Person is a “private investment company” as defined in Rule 205-3(d)(3) under the Advisers Act, an investment company registered under the 1940 Act, or a business development company as defined under the Advisers Act) is a Person whom or which the General Partner believes is an “accredited
22
investor” as defined in Regulation D under the 1933 Act and meets the requirements of paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act or successor provision of any of those rules, or is otherwise exempt from the requirements of those rules. In the event that other investor eligibility requirements are established by the Partnership, the Person to whom or which an Interest or portion of an Interest is Transferred must satisfy these other requirements. Any permitted transferee will be entitled to the allocations and distributions allocable to the Interest or portion of an Interest so acquired and to Transfer the Interest or portion of an Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but will not be entitled to the other rights of a Limited Partner unless and until the transferee becomes a substituted Limited Partner. If a Limited Partner Transfers an Interest or portion of an Interest with the approval of the General Partner, the General Partner will promptly take all necessary actions so that each transferee or successor to whom or to which the Interest or portion of an Interest is Transferred is admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner. The admission of any transferee as a substituted Limited Partner will be effective upon the execution and delivery by, or on behalf of, the substituted Limited Partner of this Agreement or an instrument that constitutes the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Each Limited Partner and transferee agrees to pay all expenses, including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, incurred by the Partnership in connection with any Transfer. In connection with any request to Transfer an Interest or portion of an Interest, the Partnership may require the Limited Partner requesting the Transfer to obtain, at the Limited Partner’s expense, an opinion of counsel selected by the General Partner as to such matters as the General Partner may reasonably request. If a Limited Partner Transfers its entire Interest as a Limited Partner, it will not cease to be a Limited Partner unless and until the transferee is admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Section 4.4(a).
(b) Each Limited Partner will indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, the General Partner, the Adviser, the Directors, each other Limited Partner and any Affiliate of the Partnership, the General Partner, the Adviser, the Director and each of the other Limited Partners against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including legal or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses or any judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement), joint or several, to which these Persons may become subject by reason of or arising from (1) any Transfer made by the Limited Partner in violation of this Section 4.4 and (2) any misrepresentation by the Transferring Limited Partner or substituted Limited Partner in connection with the Transfer. A Limited Partner Transferring an Interest may be charged reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, incurred by the Partnership in connection with the Transfer.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner shall not consent to any Transfer by any Partner in any manner whatsoever of all or any part of such Partner’s interest in the Partnership (and the parties agree that the withholding of the General Partner’s consent will be conclusively deemed reasonable) if such Transfer would cause the Partnership to be classified other than as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any proposed Transfer by a Limited Partner shall, in addition to meeting all of the other requirements of this Agreement, satisfy the following conditions, as applicable: (1) in the case of a proposed Transfer pursuant to a Limited Partner’s sale of all or a portion of its Interest, the transferor and the transferee shall each provide a certificate to the effect that (x) the proposed Transfer will not be effected on or through (A) a United States national, regional or local securities exchange, (B) a non-U.S. securities exchange or (C) an interdealer quotation system
23
that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations by identified brokers or dealers (including, without limitation, the automated screen-based quotation and trade execution system operated by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or any successor thereto), and (y) it is not, and its proposed Transfer will not be made by, through or on behalf of, (A) a Person, such as a broker or a dealer, making a market in interests in the Partnership or (B) a Person who makes available to the public bid or offer quotes with respect to Interests in the Partnership, and (2) in the case of all proposed Transfers, (x) the Transfer will not be made on a “secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof” within the meaning of Section 1.7704-1 of the Treasury Regulations, because (A) the Transfer is within one or more of the safe harbors under Section 1.7704-1(e), (f), (g), (h), or (j) of the Treasury Regulations (other than Section 1.7704-1(e)(1)(x) thereof) or (B) the Board of Directors determines that the facts and circumstances indicate that the Transfer will not be made on such a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof, (y) such Transfer will not be made on an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 1.7704-1 of the Treasury Regulations, and (z) such Transfer would not result in the Partnership being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The General Partner may not waive any of the conditions set forth in clause (2) of the preceding sentence. No attempted or purported transfer or substitution shall be effective or recognized by the Partnership unless effected in accordance with and permitted by this Agreement.
ARTICLE V
CAPITAL
5.1 Contributions to Capital.
(a) The initial Capital Contribution of each Partner will be that portion of the assets contributed to the Partnership in the Partnership Division corresponding to such Partner’s interest in the Predecessor Partnership immediately prior to the Partnership Division.
(b) A General Partner may be required to make additional Capital Contributions from time to time to the extent necessary to maintain the balance of its Capital Account at an amount, if any, necessary to ensure that the Partnership will be treated as a Partnership for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. Except as provided in this Section 5.1 or in the Delaware Act, no General Partner will be required or obligated to make any additional contributions to the capital of the Partnership.
(c) Subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, other than the initial Capital Contribution, Capital Contributions by any Partner will be payable in cash in readily available funds at the date of the proposed acceptance of the contribution.
(d) An Adviser may own Interests in the Partnership and, in so doing, will become a Limited Partner with respect to such Interests.
5.2 Rights of Partners to Capital. No Partner will be entitled to interest on the Partner’s Capital Contribution, nor will any Partner be entitled to the return of any capital of the Partnership except (a) in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.6(b) or Section 5.7 of this Agreement or (b) upon the liquidation of the Partnership’s assets in accordance with Section 6.2 of this Agreement. Except as specified in the Delaware Act, or with respect to distributions or
24
similar disbursements made in error, no Partner will be liable for the return of any such amounts. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Partner will have the right to require partition of the Partnership’s property or to compel any sale or appraisal of the Partnership’s assets.
5.3 Capital Accounts.
(a) The Partnership will maintain a separate Capital Account for each Partner.
(b) Each Partner’s Capital Account will have an initial balance equal to the amount of cash and the value of any Securities (determined in accordance with Section 7.3 of this Agreement) constituting the Partner’s initial Capital Contribution.
(c) Each Partner’s Capital Account will be increased by the sum of (1) the amount of cash constituting additional Capital Contributions by the Partner permitted under Section 5.1 of this Agreement, plus (2) any amount credited to the Partner’s Capital Account under Sections 5.4 through 5.7 of this Agreement.
(d) Each Partner’s Capital Account will be reduced by the sum of (1) the amount of any distributions to the Partner under Section 5.9 or 6.2 of this Agreement that are not reinvested, plus (2) any amounts debited against the Partner’s Capital Account under Sections 5.4 through 5.7 of this Agreement.
(e) In the event all or a portion of the Interest of a Partner is Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee will succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent of the Transferred Interest or portion of an Interest.
(f) Subject to Section 5.6(b) and Section 5.7 of this Agreement, no Partner will be required to pay to the Partnership or any other Partner any deficit in such Partner’s Capital Account upon dissolution of the Partnership or otherwise.
5.4 Allocation of Net Profit and Loss. As of the last day of each Fiscal Period, any Net Profit or Net Loss for the Fiscal Period will be allocated among and credited to or debited against the Capital Accounts of the Partners in accordance with their respective Investment Percentages for the Fiscal Period.
5.5 Allocation of Certain Withholding Taxes and Other Expenditures.
(a) If the Partnership incurs a withholding tax or other tax obligation with respect to the share of Partnership income allocable to any Partner, then the General Partner, without limitation of any other rights of the Partnership or the General Partner, will cause the amount of the obligation to be debited against the Capital Account of the Partner when the Partnership pays the obligation, and any amounts then or in the future distributable to the Partner will be reduced by the amount of the taxes. If the amount of the taxes is greater than any distributable amounts, then the Partner and any successor to the Partner’s Interest or portion of an Interest will pay to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution, upon demand by the General Partner, the amount of the excess. Neither the General Partner nor the Directors will be obligated to apply for or obtain a reduction of or exemption from withholding tax on behalf of any Partner that may be eligible
25
for the reduction or exemption, except that, in the event that the General Partner determines that a Partner is eligible for a refund of any withholding tax, the General Partner may, at the request and expense of the Partner, assist the Partner in applying for such refund. For purposes of this Agreement, any taxes so withheld by the Partnership with respect to any amount distributed by the Partnership to any Partner will be deemed to be a distribution or payment to the Partner. To the extent that a Partner claims to be entitled to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, a withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, or otherwise, the Partner will furnish the Partnership with any information and forms that the Partner may be required to complete if necessary to comply with any and all laws and regulations governing the obligations of withholding tax agents. Each Partner represents and warrants that any information and forms furnished by the Partner will be true and accurate and agrees to indemnify the Partnership and each of the Partners from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities costs and expenses resulting from the filing of inaccurate or incomplete information or forms relating to the withholding taxes (including legal or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses).
(b) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and unless prohibited by the 1940 Act, any expenditures payable by the Partnership, to the extent determined by the General Partner to have been paid or withheld on behalf of, or by reason of particular circumstances applicable to, one or more of the Partners that are classified as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but not to all Partners, shall be charged to only those Partners on whose behalf the payments are made or whose particular circumstances gave rise to such payments. The charges will be debited from the Capital Accounts of the Partners as of the close of the Fiscal Period during which the items were paid or accrued by the Partnership.
5.6 Reserves. The General Partner may, with the consent of the Board of Directors, cause appropriate reserves to be created, accrued and charged by the Partnership against Net Assets and proportionately against the Capital Accounts of the Partners for contingent liabilities, if any, as of the date any contingent liability becomes known to the General Partner, the reserves to be in the amounts that the General Partner reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate. The General Partner may increase or reduce any reserves from time to time by amounts as it reasonably determines necessary or appropriate.
5.7 Allocation to Avoid Capital Account Deficits. To the extent that any debits under Sections 5.4 through 5.6 of this Agreement would reduce the balance of the Capital Account of any Limited Partner below zero, that portion of any such debits will be allocated instead to the Capital Account of the General Partner. Any credits in any subsequent Fiscal Period that otherwise would be allocable under Sections 5.4 through 5.6 of this Agreement to the Capital Account of any Limited Partner previously affected by the application of this Section 5.7 will instead be allocated to the Capital Account of the General Partner in amounts necessary to offset all previous debits attributable to the Limited Partner, made in accordance with this Section 5.7, that have not been recovered.
5.8 Tax Allocations. For each taxable year of the Partnership, items of income, deduction, gain, loss or credit will be allocated for income tax purposes among the Partners in a manner so as to reflect equitably amounts credited or debited to each Partner’s Capital Account for the current and prior taxable years (or relevant portions of those years). Allocations under this
26
Section 5.8 will be made in accordance with the principles of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code, and in conformity with Treasury Regulations promulgated under these Sections, or the successor provisions to such Sections and Regulations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Partnership will allocate to the Partners those gains or income necessary to satisfy the “qualified income offset” requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). If the Partnership realizes net capital gains for U.S. Federal income tax purposes for any taxable year during or as of the end of which one or more Positive Basis Partners (as defined in this Section 5.8) withdraw from the Partnership under Article IV or VI of this Agreement, the General Partner may elect to allocate net gains as follows: (a) to allocate net gains among Positive Basis Partners, in proportion to the Positive Basis (as defined in this Section 5.8) of each Positive Basis Partner, until either the full amount of the net gains has been so allocated or the Positive Basis of each Positive Basis Partner has been eliminated, and (b) to allocate any net gains not so allocated to Positive Basis Partners to the other Partners in a manner that reflects equitably the amounts credited to the Partners’ Capital Accounts. If the Partnership realizes capital losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any fiscal year during or as of the end of which one or more Negative Basis Partners (as defined in this Section 5.8) withdraw from the Partnership under Article IV or VI of this Agreement, the General Partner may elect to allocate net losses as follows: (i) to allocate net losses among Negative Basis Partners, in proportion to the Negative Basis (as defined in this Section 5.8) of each Negative Basis Partner, until either the full amount of net losses will have been so allocated or the Negative Basis of each Negative Basis Partner has been eliminated, and (ii) to allocate any net losses not so allocated to Negative Basis Partners, to the other Partners in a manner that reflects equitably the amounts credited to the Partners’ Capital Accounts. As used in this Section 5.8, the term “Positive Basis” means, with respect to any Partner and as of any time of calculation, the amount by which the total of the Partners’ Capital Accounts as of that time exceeds the Partner’s “adjusted tax basis,” for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, in the Partner’s Interest in the Partnership as of that time (determined without regard to any adjustments made to the “adjusted tax basis” by reason of any Transfer or assignment of the Interest, including by reason of death). As used in this Section 5.8, the term “Positive Basis Partner” means any Partner who or that withdraws from the Partnership and who or that has a Positive Basis as of the effective date of the Partner’s withdrawal. As used in this Section 5.8, the term “Negative Basis” means, with respect to any Partner and as of any time of calculation, the amount by which the Partner’s “adjusted tax basis,” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the Partner’s Interest in the Partnership as of that time (determined without regard to any adjustments made to the “adjusted tax basis” by reason of any Transfer or assignment of the Interest, including by reason of death, and without regard to such Partner’s share of the liabilities of the Partnership under section 752 of the Code) exceeds the Partner’s Capital Account as of such time. As used in this Section 5.8, the term “Negative Basis Partner” means any Partner who or that withdraws from the Partnership and who or that has a Negative Basis as of the effective date of the Partner’s withdrawal.
5.9 Distributions.
(a) The General Partner may cause the Partnership to make distributions in cash at any time to all of the Partners on a proportionate basis in accordance with the Partners’ Investment Percentages. The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make distributions in cash at the end of any quarter of the Fiscal Year from the Partnership’s Distributable Cash, if the total Distributable Cash as of such date equals or exceeds $10 million. In the event that on the
27
45th day after the last day of any quarter Distributable Cash equals or exceeds $25 million, the General Partner shall distribute such Distributable Cash as soon as practicable, but in any event before the end of the then quarter. All such distributions shall be made to all of the Partners on a proportionate basis in accordance with the Partners’ Investment Percentages.
(b) As provided in Section 5.5, the General Partner may withhold taxes from any distribution to any Partner to the extent required by the Code or any other applicable law.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership will not repurchase any Interest or portion of an Interest or make a distribution to any Partner on account of the Partner’s Interest or portion of an Interest, if such repurchase or distribution would violate the Delaware Act or other applicable law.
ARTICLE VI
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION
6.1 Dissolution.
(a) The Partnership will be dissolved if at any time it has no Limited Partners or upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
(1) the ten-year anniversary of the date of the Partnership Division;
(2) at such time as the Net Assets of the Partnership are less than two percent (2%) of Net Assets of the Partnership immediately following the Partnership Division;
(3) upon a General Partner’s ceasing to be a General Partner in accordance with Section 4.1 of this Agreement (other than in conjunction with a Transfer of the Interest of a General Partner in accordance with Section 4.3 of this Agreement to a Person who or that is admitted as a substituted General Partner under Section 2.6(a) of this Agreement), unless (i) the Partnership has at least one other General Partner who or that is authorized to and does carry on the business of the Partnership, or (ii) both the Directors and Partners holding not less than the Minimum Limited Partner Approval percentage elect within 120 days after the event to continue the business of the Partnership and a Person to be admitted to the Partnership, effective as of the date of the event, as an additional General Partner who has agreed to make the contributions to the capital of the Partnership required to be made under Section 5.1(c) of this Agreement;

(2) any debts, liabilities or obligations owing to the Limited Partners will be paid next in their order of seniority and on a proportionate basis; and

(b) No Management Fee shall be paid to the Adviser during the liquidation period.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.2, upon dissolution of the Partnership, subject to the Delaware Act, the 1940 Act and the priorities set out in Section 6.2(a) of this Agreement, the General Partner or liquidator may, with unanimous approval of the Directors, distribute ratably in kind any assets of the Partnership.

8.5 Choice of Law; Arbitration.
(a) Notwithstanding the location at which this Agreement is executed by any of the Partners, the Partners expressly agree that all the terms and provisions of this Agreement are governed by and will be construed under the laws of the State of Delaware, including the Delaware Act, without regard to the conflict of law principles of the State of Delaware.
(b) To the extent such action is consistent with the provisions of the 1940 Act and other applicable law, any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, or any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the Partnership, including any claims of arbitrability, shall be finally settled by arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the Partners. The seat of the arbitration shall be New York, New York. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. The Partners submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the State or Federal courts located in the Southern District of New York for the limited purpose of enforcing this agreement to arbitrate.
(c) The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators. The Partner or Partners, initiating the arbitration, who shall be treated for purposes of this section as a single party, shall appoint one arbitrator in their demand for arbitration. The Partner or Partners named as respondents in the Demand for Arbitration, who shall be treated for purposes of this section as a single party, shall appoint one arbitrator within 30 Business Days after notice of the filing of the Demand for Arbitration is sent by the AAA. The arbitrators appointed by the parties shall, within 30 Business Days of the second appointed arbitrator, select the third arbitrator, and who shall chair the Tribunal. If any of the three arbitrators is not appointed within the time prescribed above, then the AAA shall appoint that arbitrator.
(d) The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties to the arbitration, and there shall be no appeal from the arbitrators’ decision except as provided by applicable law. All statutes of limitation that would otherwise be applicable shall apply to any arbitration proceeding. The right to arbitrate shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. The Partners submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the State or Federal courts located in the Southern District of New York for purposes of enforcing the arbitration award.
(e) Without prejudice to any right to obtain emergency measures of protection as provided under the Rules, a request by a party to a court of competent jurisdiction for interim measures necessary to preserve the party’s rights, including pre-arbitration attachments or injunctions, shall not be deemed incompatible with, or a waiver of, this agreement to arbitrate.
(f) In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request of any part to the arbitration proceeding, the arbitration tribunal may consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration proceeding involving any of the parties hereto
34
relating to this Agreement or the Partnership. The arbitration tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the two proceedings so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) no party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. In the event of different rulings on this question by the arbitration tribunal constituted hereunder and the tribunal constituted under any related agreement or another arbitration tribunal constituted under this Agreement, the ruling of the earliest constituted panel under this Agreement shall control.
(g) EACH PARTNER UNDERSTANDS THAT ARBITRATION IS FINAL AND BINDING ON THE PARTNERS AND THAT THE PARTNERS IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT ARE WAIVING THEIR RIGHTS TO SEEK REMEDIES IN COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL.

(b) Each Limited Partner agrees in executing this Agreement that, except as required by applicable law or any regulatory body, the Limited Partner will not divulge, furnish or make accessible to any other Person the name or address (whether business, residence or mailing) of any Limited Partner (collectively, “Confidential Information”) without the prior written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion.
(c) Each Partner recognizes that in the event that this Section 8.9 is breached by any Partner or any of its principals, Partners, members, directors, officers, employees or agents or any of the Partner’s Affiliates, including any of the Affiliate’s principals, Partners, members, directors, officers, employees or agents, irreparable injury may result to the non-breaching
35
Partners and the Partnership. In recognition of that irreparable injury, any non-breaching Partner may have, in addition to any and all other remedies at law or in equity to which the non-breaching Partner and the Partnership may be entitled, the right to obtain equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief, to prevent any disclosure of Confidential Information, plus reasonable attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses incurred in connection with obtaining the equitable relief.

Each Limited Partner or transferee of an Interest or a portion of an Interest from a Limited Partner who or that is admitted to the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement will certify, upon admission to the Partnership and at any other time as the General Partner may request, whether the Limited Partner or transferee is a “United States Person” within the meaning of the Code on forms to be provided by the Partnership, and will notify the Partnership within 30 days of any change in the status of the Limited Partner or transferee. Any Limited Partner or transferee who or that fails to provide certification when requested to do so by the General Partner may be treated as a non-United States Person for purposes of U.S. Federal tax withholding.
8.11 Severability. Each Partner agrees that the Partner intends that, if any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the Partnership, the General Partner or the Adviser not to be enforceable in the manner set out in this Agreement, then the provision should be enforceable to the maximum extent possible under applicable law. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidation or unenforceability will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement (or portion of the provision).
8.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Partners pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining to that subject matter.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including Section 8.1, each Partner, in executing this Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that the General Partner, on its own behalf or on behalf of the Partnership, without the approval of the Limited Partners or any other Person, may enter into a written agreement or agreements with any other Partner, executed
36

preparation expenses; taxes and governmental fees (including tax preparation fees); fees and expenses of any custodian, subcustodian, transfer agent, and registrar, and any other agent of the Fund; all costs and charges for equipment or services used in communicating information regarding the Fund’s transactions among the Adviser and any custodian or other agent engaged by the Fund; bank services fees; expenses of preparing, printing, and distributing reports, notices, other communications to Partners, and proxy materials; expenses of preparing, printing, and filing reports and other documents with government agencies; expenses of Partners’ meetings; expenses of corporate data processing and related services; Partner recordkeeping and Partner account services, fees, and disbursements; expenses relating to investor and public relations; and extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses.
3. Use of Name. Upon receiving notice from the Adviser, the Fund will assist the Adviser to a reasonable extent in protecting the use and sublicensing of names or trademarks that the Adviser has the rights to use and sublicense.
4. Regulatory Compliance. In performing its duties hereunder, the Adviser shall in all material respects comply with the 1940 Act and all rules and regulations thereunder, all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations, with any applicable procedures adopted by the Board, and with the provisions of the Registration Statement.
5. Compensation. As compensation for the services performed and the facilities and personnel provided by the Adviser pursuant to this Agreement, beginning on the date of the Partnership Division the Fund will pay the Adviser monthly in arrears a fee, calculated on the last business day of such month at the annual rate of 0.70% of the Fund’s month-end net assets through the period ending six quarters after the date of the Partnership Division, and at an annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund’s month-end net assets for periods ending thereafter until the expiration of ten years after the date of the Partnership Division, at which point the Adviser shall no longer receive any investment management fee; provided however, that for periods following the period ending five years after the date of the Partnership Division, no investment management fee shall be charged on any Hedge Fund, with any such Hedge Funds remaining in the Fund’s portfolio at that time being excluded from the calculation of net assets for the purposes of determining the investment management fee. If the Adviser shall serve hereunder for less than the whole of any month, the fee hereunder shall be prorated according to the proportion that such period bears to the full month and shall be payable within 30 days after the end of the relevant month or the date of termination of this Agreement, as applicable. The value of the net assets of the Fund shall be determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Partnership Agreement, the Fund’s valuation procedures, and its Registration Statement, each as amended from time to time. If the determination of the net asset value of the Fund has been suspended for a period including the end of any month when the Adviser’s compensation is payable pursuant to this paragraph, then the Adviser’s compensation payable with respect to such month shall be computed on the basis of the value of the net assets of the Fund as last determined (whether during or prior to such month), as adjusted by the Board in good faith. If the Fund determines the value of the net assets of its portfolio more than once in any month, then the last such determination thereof in that month shall be deemed to be the sole determination thereof in that month for the purposes of this paragraph.
6. Portfolio Transactions. In executing transactions for the Fund and selecting brokers or dealers, the Adviser shall place orders pursuant to its investment determinations for the Fund directly with the issuer, or with any broker or dealer, in accordance with applicable policies expressed in the Fund’s Registration Statement and in accordance with any applicable legal requirements. Without limiting the foregoing, the Adviser shall seek to obtain for the Fund the best execution available, considering all of the circumstances, and shall maintain records adequate to demonstrate compliance with this requirement. Subject to the appropriate policies and procedures approved by the Fund’s Board, the Adviser may, to the extent authorized by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Exchange Act”), cause the Fund to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage or research services to the Adviser an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Adviser determines, in good faith, that such amount of commission is reasonable in relationship to the value of such brokerage or research services provided viewed in terms of that particular transaction or the Adviser’s overall responsibilities to the Fund or its other advisory clients. To the extent authorized by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act and the Fund’s Board, the Adviser shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement with respect to the Fund or otherwise solely by reason of such action.
- 3 -
7. Proxy Voting. The Fund may delegate to the Adviser, subject to revocation at the discretion of its Board, the responsibility for voting proxies relating to the Fund’s portfolio securities pursuant to written proxy voting policies and procedures established by the Adviser.
8. Reports. The Adviser shall regularly report to the Fund’s Board on the progress of the Fund’s liquidation and the issuers and securities generally represented in the Fund’s portfolio, including reports received from the Investment Funds, and will furnish the Board such periodic and special reports as the Directors may reasonably request.
9. Not Exclusive. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Adviser or any director, officer, partner, employee, or affiliate thereof from providing investment management or advisory services to, or entering into investment management or advisory agreements with, other clients (including other registered investment companies), including clients which may from time to time purchase and/or sell securities of issuers in which the Fund invests, or from utilizing (in providing such services) information furnished to the Adviser by advisors and consultants to the Fund and others; provided however, that the Adviser will undertake no activities that, in its judgment, will adversely affect the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
10. Conflicts of Interest. Whenever the Fund and one or more other accounts or investment companies managed or advised by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser (an “Adviser Affiliate”) have opportunities to sell securities, such opportunities shall be allocated in accordance with procedures approved by the Fund’s Board and believed by the Adviser to be equitable. The Fund recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position that may be disposed of by the Fund. In addition, the Fund acknowledges that any partner, director, or officer of, or persons employed by, the Adviser or an Adviser Affiliate, who may also be a general partner, partner, director, or officer of, or person employed by, the Fund, to assist in the performance of the Adviser’s duties hereunder will not devote his or her full time to such service and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Adviser or any Adviser Affiliate to engage in and devote time and attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever kind or nature.
11. Independent Contractor. The Adviser shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or authorized by the Fund’s Board from time to time, have no authority to act for or represent the Fund in any way or otherwise be deemed its agent.
12. Liability. The Adviser may rely on information reasonably believed by it to be accurate and reliable, including but not limited to, any information or report from the Investment Funds, and shall give the Fund the benefit of its best judgment and effort in rendering services hereunder. The provisions of Section 3.9(a) of the Partnership Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Adviser and each Adviser Affiliate, and each of their partners, members, directors, officers, and employees and any of their affiliated persons, executors, heirs, assigns, successors, or other legal representatives, to provide for exculpation with respect to services provided to the Fund under this Agreement, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Section 3.9(a). Any person, even though also employed by the Adviser, who may be or become an employee of the Fund and paid by the Fund shall be deemed, when acting within the scope of his employment by the Fund, to be acting in such employment solely for the Fund and not as an employee or agent of the Adviser.
13. Indemnification. The provisions of Section 3.10 of the Partnership Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to provide for indemnification by the Fund of the Adviser and any Adviser Affiliate, and each of their partners, members, directors, officers, and employees and any of their affiliated persons, executors, heirs, assigns, successors, or other legal representatives (each of which or whom shall be an “indemnitee” under such Section 3.10), in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Section 3.10.
14. Term of Agreement; Termination. This Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to the Fund until February 10, 2016, and shall continue in effect year to year thereafter, but only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the affirmative vote of: (i) a majority of the members of the Fund’s Board who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of any party to this Agreement, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval; and (ii) a majority of the Fund’s Board or the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. This Agreement may nevertheless be terminated at any time without penalty, on 60 days’ written notice, by (a) a majority of the members of the Fund’s Board who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of any
- 4 -
party to this Agreement, (b) vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or (c) by the Adviser; provided, however, that a majority of the independent Directors of the Fund must approve any unilateral termination of this Agreement by the Adviser. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Adviser shall cause any associated person of the Adviser then serving on the Board to resign from the Board. Any notice to a Fund or the Adviser shall be deemed given when received by the addressee.
15. Assignment. This Agreement may not be transferred, assigned, sold, or in any manner hypothecated or pledged by either party hereto, except as permitted under the 1940 Act or rules and regulations adopted thereunder. This Agreement shall automatically be terminated in the event of its assignment.
16. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by the written agreement of the parties whose rights are affected by the amendment, provided that any amendment that would increase the compensation to the Adviser hereunder shall require approval of the Fund’s Board and Minimum Limited Partner Approval (as defined in the Partnership Agreement). Any amendment shall be required to be approved by the Fund’s Board and by a majority of its independent Directors in accordance with the provisions of Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder. If required by the 1940 Act, any material amendment shall also be required to be approved by such vote of Partners of the Fund as is required by the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder.
17. Conflicts of Laws. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof, provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed as being inconsistent with the 1940 Act. As used herein, the terms “interested person,” “assignment,” and “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” shall have the meanings set forth in the 1940 Act.
18. Management of Subsidiaries. If the Fund’s Board determines that it is in the best interests of the Fund and its Partners to carry on all or part of the business of the Fund through one or more subsidiaries, the Board may cause the substantive terms of this Agreement to apply to the management of any such subsidiary or subsidiaries.
19. Fund Obligations. This Agreement is made by the Fund and executed on behalf of the Fund by an officer of the Fund, and the obligations created hereby are not binding on the General Partner, nor any of the Partners, Directors, officers, employees, or agents, whether past, present, or future, of the Fund individually, but bind only the assets and property of the Fund.
20. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and, to this extent, the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be severable.
21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.
22. Supersedes Other Agreements. This Agreement supersedes all prior investment advisory, management, and/or administration agreements in effect between the Fund and the Adviser.

Section 3. Tax Treatment
(a) Upon undertaking the steps described in Section 2(a) and (b) above, Legacy Master Fund is intended to be treated as dividing into two partnerships. The step described in Section 2(a) above is intended to be tax-free under Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The step described in Section 2(b) — Legacy Master Fund’s distribution of PMF Master Fund interests in kind to the Legacy Feeder Funds — is intended be tax-free under Code Section 731. See Section 731(c)(2)(B)(v) and Treas. Reg. § 1.731-2(c)(3).
(b) Upon undertaking the steps described in Section 2(c) above, Legacy Fund, Legacy Institutional Fund, Legacy Private Fund and Legacy Private QP Fund will be treated as making contributions to PMF Fund that are intended to be tax-free under Section 721, followed by distributions of PMF Fund shares that are intended to be tax-free under Code Section 731.
(c) The step described in Section 2(d) above will be considered a contribution by Legacy International Fund to the capital of PMF International Fund, which is intended to be tax-free under Code Section 351 (or under Section 368 if all of the Legacy International Fund investors tender their interests).

Because Legacy Offshore Fund, Legacy Institutional Offshore Fund, Legacy Private Offshore Fund and Legacy Private Offshore QP Fund are controlled foreign corporations wholly owned by Legacy TEI Fund, Legacy Institutional TEI Fund, Legacy Private (Exempt) Fund and Legacy Private (Exempt) QP Fund, respectively, such gain will be attributed to Legacy TEI Fund, Legacy Institutional TEI Fund, Legacy Private (Exempt) Fund and Legacy Private (Exempt) QP Fund and allocated to their respective investors, which are tax-exempt entities.

(f) Upon undertaking the steps described in Section 2(g) above, Legacy TEI Fund, Legacy Institutional TEI Fund, Legacy Private (Exempt) Fund and Legacy Private (Exempt) QP Fund will be treated as making contributions to PMF TEI Fund that are intended to be tax-free under Section 721, followed by distributions of PMF TEI Fund shares that are intended to be tax-free under Code Section 731.
Section 4. Intention of the Partnership Division
For purposes of the Partnership Division, it is intended that:
(a) Fair Value of Interests. The fair value of the PMF Fund shares, PMF TEI Fund shares or PMF International Fund shares received by an investor in a Legacy Feeder Fund will be approximately equal to the fair value of the Legacy Feeder Fund interest constructively surrendered in exchange therefor;
(b) Ownership of Fund Shares. Immediately following consummation of the Partnership Division, the applicable investors will own all the PMF Fund shares, PMF TEI Fund shares and PMF International Fund shares and will own such shares solely by reason of their ownership of Legacy Feeder Fund interests immediately before the Partnership Division. Investment Portfolio. The Transferred Portfolio Fund Interests will represent, as nearly as practicable, pro rata ownership interests in the same Portfolio Funds as were held by Legacy Master Fund prior to the Partnership Division.
Section 5. Termination, Postponement and Amendment.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, this Plan may be terminated and the Partnership Division abandoned under conditions set forth in the Tender Offers.
(b) In the event of termination of this Plan, the same shall become void and have no further effect, and there shall not be any liability on the part of any Fund or persons who are its directors, officers, agents or shareholders in respect of this Plan.
(c) If any order or orders of the SEC with respect to this Plan shall be issued prior to the Partnership Division and shall impose any terms or conditions which are determined by action of the Board to be acceptable, such terms and conditions shall be binding as if a part of this Plan.
(d) To the extent not inconsistent with conditions set forth in the Tender Offers, the Board may authorize variations from, or amendments of, the provisions of this Plan that it deems necessary or appropriate to effect the Partnership Division.

Purchase Price Formula
“Purchase Price” shall be an amount in cash equal to the sum of the Feeder Purchase Price for each Seller, calculated in accordance with the following pricing formula.1
“Participating Partners” means the limited partners and other holders of equity interests of each Seller who elect to participate in the PMF Tender Offer.
Step 1: “Feeder Purchase Price” for each Seller is determined as follows:
Feeder Purchase Price shall be an amount in cash equal to (a) the Base Value multiplied by the sum of (i) the Price, minus (ii) the Asset Value Adjustment minus (iii) the Transaction Expense Adjustment; minus (b) the Distribution Amount
Note: The Base Value and Distribution Amount are dollar amounts and the Price, Asset Value Adjustment and Transaction Expense Adjustment are each expressed as a percentage of Base Value
Step 2: “Base Value” for each Seller is determined as follows:
Base Value shall be an amount in cash equal to the sum of (a) the Net Asset Values as of September 30, 2013 attributable to the Participating Partners of each Endowment Fund related to each Seller2 minus (a) the Adjusted Tenders
• | Net Asset Values as of September 30, 2013 shall be an amount in cash equal to the aggregate net asset values as of September 30, 2013 attributable to the Participating Partners of each Endowment Feeder Fund related to each Seller3 |

4 | Includes any fees allocated to the Endowment Feeder Fund by the Endowment Fund (including legal fees and expenses of |

Fees and expenses attributable to the Participating Partners means the sum of total fees and expenses paid by the Endowment Feeder Funds between September 30, 2013 and the Effective Date, adjusted on a pro rata basis to reflect the percentage of total Endowment Fund net asset value held by Participating Partners on September 30, 2013.

Feeder Purchase Price calculation for Domestic Fund:
Assume September 30, 2013 NAV Attributable to Participating Partners of the Domestic Fund as follows:
PMF Fund, L.P.: $500,000,000
PMF TEI Fund, L.P.: $500,000,000
PMF TEI (Offshore) Fund, Ltd.: $10,000,000
Assume the following proceeds received by Participating Partners in the tender offer dated December 31, 2013:
PMF Fund L.P.: $100,000,000
PMF TEI Fund, L.P.: $125,000,000
PMF TEI (Offshore) Fund, Ltd.: $800,000
Assume the following expenses and adjustments attributable to the Participating Partners’ shares in their respective Endowment Feeder Funds:
Non-Portfolio Assets Value Change: $5,000,000
Endowment Fund Feeder Expenses: $13,500,000
Legal Expenses incurred by Buyer: $4,000,000
Net Asset Values as of September 30, 2013 = ($500,000,000 + $500,000,000 + $10,000,000) = $1,010,000,000
Adjusted Tenders = $225,800,000 + (($225,800,000 / $651,133,956) * $8,590,121) = $228,778,879
Base Value = $1,010,000,000 - $228,778,879 = $781,221,121
Price = 87%
Asset Value Adjustment = ($13,500,000 - $5,000,000) / $781,221,121 = 1.088%
Legal Expense = $4,000,000
Transaction Expense Adjustment = $4,000,000 / $781,221,121 = 0.5120%
Distribution Amount = $5,000,000
Purchase Price = $781,221,121 * (87% - 1.088% - .5120%) - $5,000,000 = $662,162,837

dated as of
[ ], 2014
AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the [ ] day of [ ], 2014, by and among HarbourVest – Origami Structured Solutions L.P. (the “Feeder Fund”) a Delaware limited partnership, The Endowment PMF Master Fund, L.P. (the “Master Fund”), a Delaware limited partnership and Endowment Advisers, L.P. (“Adviser”), a Delaware limited partnership (solely for the purposes of agreeing to Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4).
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the Master Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company;
WHEREAS, the Feeder Fund desires to pursue its investment objective holding limited partner interests in the Master Fund (the “Interests”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual promises made herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Sec. 1.1 Feeder Fund. The Feeder Fund represents and warrants to the Master Fund that:
(a) 1940 Act Registration. The Feeder Fund is not required to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act.
(b) 1933 Act Registration. The Feeder Fund will not register, nor take actions that would result in a requirement to register, its limited partnership interests under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).
(c) Registration Statement. The Feeder Fund has reviewed the Master Fund’s most recent registration statement on Form N-2, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Feeder Fund has no responsibility for such Form N-2, and shall have no liability with respect to any claims thereunder or relating thereto.
Sec. 1.2 Master Fund. The Master Fund represents and warrants to the Feeder Fund that:(a) Organization. The Master Fund is a Delaware limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Master Fund has the requisite power and authority to own its property and conduct its business as now being conducted and as proposed to be conducted pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) 1940 Act Registration. The Master Fund is duly registered under the 1940 Act as a closed-end, non-diversified, management investment company and such registration is in full force and effect.
(c) SEC Filings; Securities Exemptions. The Master Fund has duly filed all forms, reports and other documents (collectively, the “SEC Filings”) required to be filed with the SEC under the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) and the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, (collectively, the “Securities Laws”). The Interests are not required to be registered under the 1933 Act, because the Interests are offered solely in private placement transactions which do not involve any “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act. In addition, Interests are either noticed or qualified for sale or exempt from notice or qualification requirements under applicable securities laws in those states and other jurisdictions in which Interests are offered and sold. All SEC Filings relating to the Master Fund comply in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable Securities Laws and do not, as of the date of this Agreement, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(d) No Approval. No meeting of, or consent by, holders of Interests (as defined below) of the Master Fund is necessary to approve the holding of Interests by the Feeder Fund.
(e) Transfer of Beneficial Interest. As reflected in that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement among the Feeder Fund, the Master Fund and certain other parties, including certain other investors in the Master Fund dated as of the date hereof (The “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), the approval of the transfer of Interests to the Feeder Fund from such other investors in the Master Fund, in recognition of the investment in the Master Fund by the Feeder Fund of substantially all of the Feeder Fund’s assets, has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Board of Directors of the Master Fund. When so transferred in accordance with the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and this Agreement, the Interests will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
(f) Tax Status. The Master Fund is taxable as a partnership for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(g) Taxable and Fiscal Year. The taxable year-end and fiscal year-end of the Master Fund is December 31st.

In the event that the Feeder Fund is required to have a principal underwriter, upon request of the Feeder Fund the Master Fund shall procure that the Adviser’s affiliated broker-dealer shall serve in such capacity at no additional cost to the Feeder Fund.

(d) Substitution of Interests. In accordance with the requirements of Section 12(d)(1)(E)(iii)(bb) of the 1940 Act, the Feeder Fund shall refrain from substituting Interests held by the Feeder Fund unless the SEC has approved such substitution in accordance with Section 26 of the 1940 Act.
Sec. 2.2 Master Fund. The Master Fund covenants that:
(a) SEC Filings. The Master Fund will make all SEC Filings required to be made by it with the SEC under the Securities Laws in connection with any meetings of the Master Fund’s investors and its registration as an investment company and will provide copies of all such definitive filings to the Feeder Fund. The Master Fund’s SEC Filings will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable Securities Laws, and will not, at the time they are filed or used, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
4

(g) Tax Treatment. The Feeder Fund hereby gives written notice that it expects, for each fiscal year that it is a partner of the Master Fund, to file IRS Form 8082 with respect to the Feeder Fund’s Interests. In consideration thereof, the Master Fund agrees that it will treat the Feeder Fund as having satisfied its covenant in the second sentence of Section 3.1(c) of the Partnership Agreement (defined below). The Feeder Fund agrees to promptly furnish to the Master Fund a copy of any such IRS Form 8082 (or any successor form) filed by the Feeder Fund with respect to the Master Fund.
Sec. 2.3 Reasonable Actions. Each party covenants that it will, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, from time to time, as and when requested by the other party or in its own discretion, as the case may be, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such documents, assignments and other instruments, take or cause to be taken such actions, and do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable in order to conduct the business contemplated by this Agreement and to carry out its intent and purpose.

ARTICLE III
INDEMNIFICATION
Sec. 3.1 Master Fund
(a) The Master Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Feeder Fund and any affiliate providing services to the Feeder Fund, and any manager, director, officer, employee or agent of any of them (in this Section, each, a “Covered Person” and collectively, “Covered Persons”), against any and all losses, claims, demands, damages, liabilities or expenses (including, with respect to each Covered Person, the reasonable cost of investigating and defending against any claims therefor and any counsel fees incurred in connection therewith, except as provided in subparagraph (b)) (“Losses”), that:
(i) arise out of or are based upon any violation or alleged violation of any of the Securities Laws, or any other applicable statute, rule, regulation or common law or are incurred in connection with or as a result of any formal or informal administrative proceeding or investigation by a regulatory agency, insofar as such violation or alleged violation, proceeding or investigation arises out of or is based upon any direct or indirect omission or commission (or alleged omission or commission) by the Master Fund, or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents; or
(ii) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Master Fund’s current registration statement on Form N-2, any confidential offering memorandum or any other offering document of the Master Fund, the issuer tender offers and other disclosure documents relating to the repurchase transactions to be carried out by PMF Fund L.P., PMF TEI Fund, L.P. and PMF International Fund, Ltd. or any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing (collectively, “Offering Documents”), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that in no case shall the Master Fund be liable for indemnification hereunder (A) with respect to any claims made against any Covered Person unless a Covered Person shall have notified the Master Fund in writing within a reasonable time after the summons, other first legal process, notice of a federal, state or local tax deficiency, or formal initiation of a regulatory investigation or proceeding giving information of the nature of the claim shall have properly been served upon or provided to a Covered Person seeking indemnification or (B) if such Losses were the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of the Feeder Fund. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Fund’s indemnity to Covered Persons shall include all relevant liabilities of Covered Persons under the Securities Laws, as if the Offering Documents constitute a “prospectus” within the meaning of the 1933 Act, and the Master Fund had registered its interests under the 1933 Act pursuant to a registration statement meeting the requirements of the 1933 Act. Failure to notify the Master Fund of such claim shall not relieve the Master Fund from any liability that it may have to any Covered Person otherwise than on account of the indemnification contained in this Section.
6
(b) The Master Fund will be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such liability, but, if the Master Fund elects to assume the defense, such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Master Fund. In the event the Master Fund elects to assume the defense of any such suit and retain such counsel, each Covered Person in the suit may retain additional counsel but shall bear the fees and expenses of such counsel unless (i) the Master Fund shall have specifically authorized the retaining of and payment of fees and expenses of such counsel or (ii) the parties to such suit include any Covered Person and the Master Fund, and any such Covered Person has been advised in a written opinion by counsel reasonably acceptable to the Master Fund that one or more legal defenses may be available to it that may not be available to the Master Fund, in which case the Master Fund shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such suit notwithstanding its obligation to bear the fees and expenses of one counsel to such persons. The Master Fund shall not be required to indemnify any Covered Person for any settlement of any such claim effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnities set forth in paragraph (a) will be in addition to any liability that the Master Fund might otherwise have to Covered Persons.
ARTICLE IV

(b) The non-disclosing party agrees that any disclosure by its Representatives that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if such disclosure had been made by the non-disclosing party shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by the non-disclosing party. The Feeder Fund shall ensure that its administrator agrees to be bound by confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations at least as restrictive as the terms and conditions set forth in this Section prior to receiving any Proprietary Information.

9
(d) The parties shall work in good faith to develop a mutually satisfactory script to be utilized in communicating with their respective investors and a joint communications plan to address press inquiries and communications with the public concerning the Contemplated Transactions (as such term is defined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement).

I | General |
A. Statement of Purpose
The Endowment Master Fund, L.P., The Endowment Registered Fund, L.P., The Endowment TEI Fund, L.P., The Endowment Institutional Fund, L.P., The Endowment Institutional TEI Fund W, L.P., The Endowment PMF Master Fund, L.P., PMF Fund, L.P. and PMF TEI Fund, L.P. (each, a “Fund,” and, together, the “Funds”); and Salient Capital, L.P., the placement agent for each Fund (the “Placement Agent”) (the Funds and the Placement Agent are each a “Company” and together the “Companies”) each hold their directors, general partners, officers, employees and service providers to a high standard of integrity and business practices. The Companies strive to avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest in connection with transactions in securities for the Funds.
The Companies recognize that the knowledge of present or future portfolio transactions and, in certain instances, the power to influence portfolio transactions in securities that may be possessed by certain of their directors, general partners, officers and employees could place such individuals, if they engage in personal transactions in securities that are eligible for investment by a Fund, in a position where their personal interests may conflict with the interests of the Fund.
The Companies also recognize that The Endowment PMF Master Fund, L.P. (the “PMF Master Fund”), PMF Fund, L.P. and PMF TEI Fund, L.P. (collectively, the “PMF Funds”) will be managed in a passive manner whereby the PMF Master Fund will hold to self-liquidation private equity and other similarly illiquid interests in Investment Funds and oversee the liquidation of other Investment Funds that provide for redemption while managing the PMF Master Fund’s cash to ensure the Master Fund’s ability to satisfy outstanding capital commitments relating to such portfolio holdings.
In view of the foregoing and of the provisions of Rule 17j-l under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”)1 each Company has determined to adopt this Code of Ethics (“Code”) to identify and prohibit certain types of transactions deemed to create conflicts of interest (or at least the potential for or the appearance of such a conflict) and to establish reporting requirements and enforcement procedures. This document constitutes the Code required by Rule 17j-1 for the Companies.
1 | Rule 17j-l under the 1940 Act makes it unlawful for investment company personnel and other “Access Persons” to engage in “fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative” practices in connection with their personal transactions in securities when those securities are held or to be acquired by an investment company. The Rule also requires every investment company, the investment company’s investment adviser, and, in certain cases, the investment company’s placement agent to adopt a Code of Ethics containing provisions “reasonably necessary to prevent” such prohibited practices |
B. Statement of General Principles
The following general principles should guide the actions of Access Persons (as defined below) in evaluating and engaging in personal securities transactions:
1. The interests of the Funds’ shareholders are paramount. Access Persons must conduct themselves and their operations to give maximum effect to this xxxxx by assiduously placing the interests of the shareholders before their own.
2. All personal transactions in securities by Access Persons must be accomplished so as to avoid even the appearance of a conflict with the interests of the Funds and their shareholders.
3. Access Persons must avoid actions or activities that allow (or appear to allow) a person to profit or benefit from his or her position with respect to the Funds, or that otherwise bring into question the person’s independence or judgment.
This Code does not attempt to identify all possible conflicts of interest, and literal compliance with each of the specific procedures will not shield a person from liability for personal trading or other conduct that violates any fiduciary duty to a Fund’s shareholders. In addition to the specific prohibitions contained in this Code, each person covered by this Code is subject to a general requirement not to engage in any act or practice that would defraud a Fund’s shareholders.
C. Applicability of Code
The requirements of this Code are not applicable to any Access Person of a Fund who is subject to a separate code of ethics adopted by the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser of the Fund, provided that: (1) such Code of Ethics complies with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and has been approved by the Fund’s Board; and (2) such Adviser or Sub-Adviser has certified to the Board of the Fund that it has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating such code of ethics.
II. | Definitions |
For purposes of this Code, the following terms have the meanings set forth as follows:
A. “Access Person” means:
1. any director, officer or general partner of a Fund, and any Advisory Person of a Fund’s investment adviser (“Adviser”) or any sub-adviser (“Sub - Adviser”)2 and
2 | If the Adviser or Sub-Adviser’s primary business is advising funds or advisory clients, all of the Adviser’s or Sub-Adviser’s directors, officers, and general partners are presumed to be Access Persons of the Fund. If the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser is primarily engaged in a business other than advising funds or advisory clients, “Access Person” means any director, officer, general partner or Advisory Person of the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser who, with respect to the Fund for which such entity acts as Adviser or Sub-Adviser, makes any recommendation, participates in determining which recommendations shall be made, or whose principal function or duties relate to determining which recommendations shall be made or who, in connection with his or her duties, obtains any information concerning securities recommendations being made by such Adviser or Sub-Adviser. |
2. any director, officer or general partner of the Placement Agent who, in the ordinary course of business, makes, participates in or obtains information regarding a Purchase or Sale of Covered Securities for the Funds or whose functions or duties as part of the ordinary course of business relate to the making of any recommendation to the Funds regarding any Purchase or Sale of Covered Securities.
B. “Advisory Person” means:
1. any director, officer, general partner or employee of the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser (or of any company in a Control relationship to a Fund, the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser) who, in connection with his or her regular functions or duties, makes, participates in, or obtains information regarding the Purchase or Sale of a Covered Security by the Fund or whose functions relate to the making of any recommendations with respect to such Purchases or Sales; and
2. any natural person in a Control relationship to a Fund, Adviser or Sub-Adviser who obtains information concerning recommendations made to the Fund with regard to the Purchase or Sale of a Covered Security by the Fund.
3. For purposes of clarity, Unaffiliated Directors of a Fund are not Advisory Persons.
C. “Affiliated Person” of another person shall mean:
1. any person directly or indirectly owning, controlling, or holding with power to vote, 5 per centum or more of the outstanding voting securities of such other person;
2. any person 5 per centum or more of whose outstanding voting securities are directly or indirectly owned, controlled, or held with power to vote, by such other person;
3. any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, such other person;
4. any officer, director, partner, copartner, or employee of such other person; and
5. with respect to a Fund, the Adviser and any Sub-Adviser.
D. “Automatic Investment Plan” means a program in which regular periodic purchases (or withdrawals) are made automatically in (or from) investment accounts in accordance with a predetermined schedule and allocation. An Automatic Investment Plan includes a dividend reinvestment plan.
E. “Board” means a Fund’s Board of Directors.
F. “Beneficial Ownership” is to be determined in the same manner as it is determined for purposes of Rule 16a-1(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This means that a person should generally consider himself or herself the beneficial owner of any securities of which he or she shares in the profits, even if he or she has no influence on voting or disposition of the securities; but does not include securities held by limited partnerships where the person is not aware of such security holding and has no control or discretion as to its disposition.
G. “Control” shall have the same meaning as that set forth in Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. Section 2(a)(9) defines “control” as the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company. Ownership of more than 25% of a company’s outstanding voting securities is presumed to give the holder thereof control over the company.
H. “Covered Security” has the same meaning as that set forth in Rule 17j-1(a)(4), which defines the term very broadly, but excludes direct obligations of the U.S. government, bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper, high quality short-term debt instruments (including repurchase agreements), and shares issued by a registered open-end investment company.
I. “Disinterested Director” means a director of a Fund who is not an “interested person” of the Fund within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act.
J. “Initial Public Offering” means an offering of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the issuer of which, immediately before the registration, was not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
K. “Investment Fund” has the same meaning as set forth in a Fund’s private placement memorandum.
L. “Investment Personnel” means:
1. Any employee of a Fund, the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser (or of any company in a Control relationship to the Fund, the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser) who, in connection with his or her regular functions or duties, makes or participates in making recommendations regarding the purchase or sale of securities by the Fund.
2. Any natural person who controls a Fund, the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser and who obtains information concerning recommendations made to the Fund regarding the purchase or sale of securities by the Fund.
3. For purposes of clarity, Unaffiliated Directors of a Fund are not Investment Personnel.
M. “Limited Offering” means an offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to section 4(2) or 4(6) or pursuant to rule 504, rule 505, or rule 506 under the Securities Act.
N. “Purchase or Sale of a Covered Security” means obtaining or disposing of Beneficial Ownership of that Covered Security and includes, among other things, the writing of an option to purchase or sell a Covered Security.
P. “Review Officer” shall mean the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), or any other person charged with the responsibility, at any given time, to pre-clear trades, grant exceptions to prohibitions under the Code, receive reports and notices required by this Code to be generated, and to accomplish any other requirement of this Code.
1. A person may be designated by a Board or the CCO as a Review Officer of a Fund (or the CCO may undertake the responsibility of serving as the Review Officer) for purposes of this Code without otherwise formally carrying that title or the responsibility for functions otherwise generally associated with the responsibilities of a compliance officer.
2. The Review Officer may delegate certain functions as appropriate.
Q. “Security held or to be Acquired by a Fund” shall mean
1. Any Covered Security which, within the most recent 15 days:
(a) Is or has been directly held by the Fund; or
(b) Is being or has been considered by the Fund or the Adviser for purchase by the Fund; and
2. Any option to purchase or sell, and any security convertible into or exchangeable for, a Covered Security.
3. Specifically excluded from this definition are any Covered Securities in which the Fund has no investment discretion and that the Fund has no current knowledge are being held on its behalf (i.e., an investment by the Fund in an Investment Fund) for which the manager of the Investment Fund has full discretion to buy or sell securities without consultation or input from the Fund).
R. “Unaffiliated Director” means a director of a Fund that is a Disinterested Director or a person that is not an affiliated person of the Adviser or the Placement Agent.
The CCO of the Funds may provide the Boards with a list of each Security held or to be Acquired by a Fund on not less than a quarterly basis. The Boards, Access Persons and Advisory Persons are entitled to rely on this list in conducting their personal and business affairs in compliance with the Code. In the event that any such person breaches the Code due to a misstatement or omission with respect to such list, such person shall not be deemed responsible for such breach, unless he or she had actual knowledge that his or her actions would result in a breach (i.e., knew that the security transaction being conducted by such person was a breach of the Code).
III. | Approval, Adoption and Administration of Code of Ethics |
A. Each Company must:
1. adopt a written Code containing provisions reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating the Code;
2. provide the written Code and any amendments thereto to the Boards; and
3. provide a written certification to the Boards that it has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating the Code.
B. The Boards, including a majority of the Disinterested Directors, must approve this Code, as well as the applicable code of ethics of the Adviser and any Sub-Adviser to a Fund. The Boards must base their approval on a determination that the relevant Code contains provisions reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating the Code.
C. Following initial approval of this Code and the code of ethics of the Adviser or any Sub-Adviser to a Fund, any material change to a Code must be approved by the Board of the Fund, including a majority of the Disinterested Directors thereof and, in the case of the PMF Master Fund, unanimously, within six months of such amendment.
D. No less frequently than annually, each Fund, the Adviser, each Sub-Adviser and the Placement Agent must furnish to the Boards, and the Boards must consider, a written report that:
1. Describes any issues arising under the Code or a code of ethics applicable to the Adviser or Sub-Adviser since the last report to the Boards, including, but not limited to, information about material violations of the code or procedures and sanctions imposed in response to the material violations, summarizes any changes in the procedures made during the past year, and identifies any recommended changes in existing restrictions or procedures based upon the Funds’, the Adviser’s, the Sub-Adviser’s and the Placement Agent’s experience, evolving industry practice, or developments in applicable laws and regulations; and
2. Certifies that the Fund, the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and the Placement Agent, as applicable, has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating the Code or a code of ethics applicable to the Adviser or Sub-Adviser (as applicable).
IV. | Legal Requirements |
A. General Prohibitions
It is the policy of the Companies that no Access Person, any Affiliated Person of a Fund, or any Affiliated Person of the Adviser or the Placement Agent, shall engage in any act, practice or course of conduct that would violate the provisions of Rule 17j-1.
Rule 17j-1(b) under the 1940 Act provides that the Placement Agent, any Affiliated Person of a Fund, and any Affiliated Person of the Adviser or the Placement Agent, in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, by such person of a Security Held or to be Acquired by the Fund shall not:
1. employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud a Fund;
2. make to the Fund any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state to the Fund a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
3. engage in any act, practice or course of business that would operate as a fraud or deceit upon the Fund; or
4. engage in any manipulative practice with respect to the Fund.
B. Reporting Obligations
Each Access Person shall file the following reports with the Review Officer. Please note that special provisions apply to Unaffiliated Directors, as detailed in paragraph B.5 below.
1. Initial Holdings Report. No later than ten (10) days after the person becomes an Access Person under this Code, each Access Person (other than a Fund’s Unaffiliated Directors) must provide to the Review Officer an initial holdings report, which is current as of a date no more than 45 days prior to the date the reporting person becomes an Access Person, containing the following information:
a. The title, number of shares and principal amount of each Covered Security in which the Access Person had any direct or indirect beneficial ownership when the person became an Access Person;
b. The name of any broker, dealer or bank with whom the Access Person maintained an account in which any securities were held for the direct or indirect benefit of the Access Person as of the date the person became an Access Person; and
c. The date that the report is submitted by the Access Person.
2. Quarterly Reports. Each Access Person (subject to paragraph B.5 with respect to a Fund’s Unaffiliated Directors) must provide to the Review Officer, on a quarterly basis, not later than thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar quarter, a report containing the following information:
a With respect to any transaction during the quarter in a Covered Security in which the Access Person had any direct or indirect beneficial ownership:
i. The date of the transaction, the title, the interest rate and maturity date (if applicable) and the number of shares and the principal amount of each Covered Security involved;
ii. The nature of the transaction (i.e., purchase, sale or any other type of acquisition or disposition);
iii. The price at which the transaction was effected;
iv. The name of the broker, dealer or bank with or through whom the transaction was effected; and
v. The date the report was submitted by the Access Person.
b With respect to any account established by the Access Person in which any securities were held during the quarter for the direct or indirect benefit of the Access Person:
i. The name of the broker, dealer or bank with whom the Access Person established the account;
ii. The date that the report is submitted by the Access Person.
iii. The date the account was established; and
3 Annual Holdings Report. Each Access Person (other than a Fund’s Unaffiliated Directors) must annually provide to the Review Officer a complete listing of all Covered Securities owned by the Access Person, no later than February 14 of each year, which report must be current as of a date no more than 45 days before the report is submitted. The listing must contain the following information:
a. The title, number of shares and principal amount of each Covered Security in which the Access Person had any direct or indirect beneficial ownership;
b. The name of any broker, dealer or bank with whom the Access Person maintains an account in which any securities are held for the direct or indirect benefit of the Access Person; and
c. The date that the report is submitted by the Access Person.
4 Annual Certification. All Access Persons shall be required to certify annually that they have received, read and understand the Code. Further, all Access Persons are required to certify annually that they have complied with the requirements of the Code and that they have disclosed or reported all personal securities transactions required to be disclosed or reported pursuant to the Code.
5 Unaffiliated Directors. An Unaffiliated Director is required to complete a quarterly report only if (i) the Unaffiliated Director knew, or in the ordinary course of fulfilling his or her official duties as a Fund director should have known, that during the 15-day period immediately before or after his or her transaction, such Covered Security was Purchased or Sold, or considered for Purchase or Sale, by the Fund,3 or (ii) during the relevant quarter, the Unaffiliated Director has engaged in what he or she believes may be construed as short-term trading in the securities of a registered open-end investment company that is advised by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The “should have known” standard implies no duty of inquiry, does not presume there should have been any deduction or extrapolation from discussions or memoranda dealing with tactics to be employed in meeting any of a Fund’s investment objectives, or that any knowledge is to be imputed because of prior knowledge of the Funds’ portfolio holdings, market considerations, or the Funds’ investment policies and objectives or investment restrictions.
3 | This reporting requirement shall not be applicable to securities traded by passively managed index funds |
C Exceptions from Reporting Requirements
An Access Person need not submit:
1. Any report with respect to Covered Securities held in accounts over which the Access Person had no direct or indirect influence or control;
2. A quarterly report if the report would duplicate information contained in broker trade confirmations or account statements received by the Funds, the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser or the Placement Agent no later than 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter and/or information contained in the Adviser’s, Sub-Adviser’s, Placement Agent’s and/or the Funds’ records.
3. Reports otherwise required by this Section, if the Access Person is also an Access Person of the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser to the Funds, provided that either:
a. such person submits to the Adviser or Sub-Adviser forms prescribed by the code of ethics of such Adviser or Sub-Adviser containing substantially the same information as called for in the forms required by this Section; or
b. the information is such report would duplicate information required to be recorded under Rule 204-2(a)(13) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
4. A quarterly report with respect to transactions effected pursuant to an Automatic Investment Plan.
V. | Pre-Clearance of Securities Transactions |
Investment Personnel must obtain approval from the CCO or the Review Officer before directly or indirectly acquiring Beneficial Ownership of any Covered Security as part of an Initial Public Offering or Limited Offering. Investment Personnel who are subject to the code of ethics of the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser need not submit to this procedure provided that such person is subject to a similar procedure under such other code of ethics.
VI. | Confidentiality |
All reports of securities transactions and any other information filed with a Fund pursuant to this Code shall be treated as confidential. Any such report may contain a statement that the report shall not be construed as an admission by the person making such report that he or she has any direct or indirect beneficial ownership in the security to which the report relates.
No Access Person shall reveal to any other person (except in the normal course of his or her duties on behalf of a Fund) any information regarding securities transactions made or being considered by or on behalf of the Funds.
VII. | Review and Enforcement |
A. The Review Officer for each Fund, in consultation with other Review Officers, shall compare all reported personal securities transactions with completed portfolio transactions of each Fund and a list of securities being considered for purchase or sale by each Fund to determine whether a violation of this Code may have occurred. One test that may be applied in determining whether a violation of the Code has occurred will be to review the securities transactions of Access Persons for patterns of transactions. For example:
1. Any pattern involving parallel transactions (for the Fund and the individual both buying or both selling the same Covered Security) or opposite transactions (buy/sell or sell/buy) may be analyzed to determine whether the individual’s transaction may have violated the Code.
2. Among the other factors that may be considered in the analysis are:
a. the number and dollar amount of the transactions;
b. the trading volume of the Covered Security in question;
c. the length of time the Covered Security has been held by the individual; and
d. the individual’s involvement in the investment process.
It should be noted, however, that a violation could be deemed to have resulted from a single transaction if the circumstances warrant a finding that the underlying principles of fair dealing have been violated. Before making any determination that a violation has been committed by any person, the Review Officer shall give such person an opportunity to supply additional explanatory material.
B. If the Review Officer determines that a violation of this Code may have occurred, the Review Officer shall submit his or her written determination, together with a confidential report and any additional explanatory material provided by the individual, to the CCO (if different from the Review Officer) or the CCO’s delegate and outside counsel to the Funds, who shall make an independent determination as to whether a violation has occurred.
C. If the CCO (or delegate) and outside counsel to the Funds find that a violation has occurred, the CCO, in consultation with the Fund’s President, shall impose upon the individual such sanctions as he or she deems appropriate and shall report the violation and the sanction imposed to the Funds’ Boards.
D. No person shall participate in a determination of (1) whether he or she personally has committed a violation of the Code, or (2) the imposition of any sanction in the event he or she committed a violation of the Code. If a Covered Securities transaction of the CCO is under consideration, the President of the Funds shall act in all respects in the manner prescribed in this Code for the CCO.
VIII. Records
Each Fund shall maintain records in the manner and to the extent set forth below, which may be maintained on microfilm or by such other means permissible under the conditions described in Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act or under no-action letters or interpretations under that rule, and shall be available for examination by representatives of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A. A copy of this Code shall be preserved in an easily accessible place (including for five (5) years after this Code is no longer in effect).
B. A record of any violation of this Code and of any action taken as a result of such violation shall be preserved in an easily accessible place for a period of not less than five (5) years following the end of the fiscal year in which the violation occurs.
C. A copy of each report to the Board and each report, including any information provided in lieu of the report, made by an Access Person pursuant to this Code shall be preserved for a period of not less than five (5) years from the end of the fiscal year in which it is made, the first two years in an easily accessible place.
D. A list of all Access Persons who are, or within the past five (5) years have been, required to make reports pursuant to this Code shall be maintained in an easily accessible place.
E. A record of any decision, and the reasons supporting the decision, to approve the acquisition by Investment Personnel of securities under Section V of this Code shall be preserved for at least five years after the end of the fiscal year in which the approval is granted, the first two years in an easily accessible place.
