(ii) the Repurchase Date for such Offer;

(iii) the number of Units that are the subject of such Offer and the percentage that such Units represent of all Units held by Members; and

(iv) any other information that the Board has determined, in its sole discretion, that a Member should consider in deciding whether and how to participate in such Offer.

(c) Members must submit, in writing, responses to a Repurchase Notice (each, an “Offer Acceptance”) to the Fund or its designated agent named in the Repurchase Notice.

(d) Offer Acceptances received by the Fund or its designated agent after the Offer Acceptance Deadline will be void.

(e) The Fund shall send a Repurchase Notice to each Member, no later than 30 calendar days prior to each Offer Acceptance Deadline.

(f) Upon request by a Member, the Board may permit a Member to cancel a Offer Acceptance if such cancellation is determined by the Board to be in the best interest of the Fund.

(g) Notwithstanding Section 3.2(c) herein, a Member may not tender Units for repurchase during a Lock-Up Period applicable to such Units, except that each Member may tender Units subject to such a Lock-Up Period upon payment to the Fund a fee equal to 5% of the value of the Units repurchased by the Fund, payable to the Fund (an “Early Repurchase Fee”). The Board may, in certain limited instances where the Board has determined that the remaining Members will not be materially and adversely affected or prejudiced, waive the imposition of the Early Repurchase Fee with respect to some or all Members. Any such waiver does not imply that the Early Repurchase Fee will be waived at any time in the future.

(h) The amount due to any Member tendering all of or a portion of its Units shall be equal to the product of the total number of Units tendered by such Member times the Net Asset Value per Unit determined on the Repurchase Date, which will be based on the estimated unaudited Net Asset Value of the Fund’s assets as of such Repurchase Date, after giving effect to all allocations to be made to the Members as of such date.

(i) The Fund may suspend or postpone any Offer in limited circumstances and only by a vote of a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors in circumstances including, but not limited to:

(i) a period during which an emergency exists as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to dispose of securities it owns or to determine the value of the Fund’s nets assets;

(ii) for any other periods that the SEC permits by order for the protection of Members; or

(iii) other unusual circumstances as the Board deems advisable to the Fund and its Members.

(j) The Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine the amount of Units to be repurchased, if any.

(k) If the number of Units tendered for repurchase by Members as of an Offer Acceptance Deadline is greater than the number of Units set forth in the Repurchase Notice, the Fund may, in the Board’s sole and absolute discretion, either (i) accept the additional Units to the extent consistent with applicable law; (ii) increase the outstanding Units that the Fund is offering to purchase by up to 2% on the Repurchase Date; (iii) extend the Offer, if necessary, and increase the amount of Units that the Fund is offering to purchase to an amount it believes sufficient to accommodate the excess Units tendered as well as any Units tendered during the extended Offer; or (iv) accept a portion of the Units tendered prior to or on the Repurchase Date for payment on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate Net Asset Value of tendered Units.

(l) Promptly after a Repurchase Date, each Member who tendered Units and who had all or a portion of such tendered Units repurchased by the Fund shall be issued a non-interest bearing, non-transferable promissory note by the Fund entitling such Member to be paid an amount equal to 100% of the unaudited Net Asset Value such Member’s Units being repurchased, determined as of the Repurchase Date (after giving effect to all allocations to be made as of that date to such Member). The note shall entitle the Member to be paid upon the later of (x) 30 calendar days after the Repurchase Date or (y) if the Fund has requested withdrawals of capital or redemptions of interests from any Underlying Fund in order to fund the repurchase, 10 Business Days after the Fund has received at least 90% of the aggregate amount withdrawn or redeemed from such Underlying Fund.

(m) Notwithstanding Section 3.2(l), if a Member tendered for repurchase 95% or more of the Units held by such Member and 95% or more of such Member’s Units are repurchased by the Fund, such Member shall receive (i) cash or a non-interest bearing, non-transferable promissory note issued by the Fund in an amount equal to 95% of the estimated unaudited Net Asset Value of such Member’s Units being repurchased, determined as of the Repurchase Date (after giving effect to all allocations to be made as of that date to such Member’s Units, including any Advisory Fee allocable to such Units) (the “Initial Payment”), which will be paid upon the later of (x) 30 calendar days after the Repurchase Date or (y) if the Fund has requested withdrawals of capital or redemptions of interests from any Underlying Fund in order to fund the repurchase, 10 Business Days after the Fund has received at least 90% of the aggregate amount withdrawn or redeemed from such Underlying Fund; and (ii) a non-interest bearing, non-transferrable promissory note issued by the Fund entitling such Member to be paid an amount equal to the remaining 5% of the estimated unaudited Net Asset Value of such Member’s Units being repurchased, determined as of the Repurchase Date (after giving effect to all allocations to be made as of that date to such Member’s Units, including any Advisory Fee allocable to such Units) (as adjusted (if at all), the “Subsequent Payment”).

(n) Following the later of (i) 120 calendar days after the Repurchase Date or (ii) such longer period as the Board in its discretion deems necessary to protect the interests of the remaining Members, the amount of the Subsequent Payment may be adjusted so that the sum of the Initial Payment and the Subsequent Payment is equal to 100% of the final Net Asset Value of such Member’s Units being repurchased, determined as of the Repurchase Date (after giving effect to all allocations to be made as of that date to such Member’s Units) and the as-adjusted Subsequent Payment shall be paid to such Member.

(o) The Board in its discretion, but giving due regard to the interests of the remaining Members, may determine to make payment in satisfaction of a repurchase at earlier dates than those otherwise listed here.

(p) The Board in its discretion may pay repurchase proceeds, in whole or in part, in securities of equivalent value. The Fund does not expect that it will distribute securities as payment for repurchased Units except in unusual circumstances, such as in the unlikely event that:

(i) making a cash payment would result in a material adverse effect on the Fund or on Members not requesting that their Units be repurchased; or

(ii) the Master Fund has received distributions from Underlying Funds in the form of securities that are able to be transferred to the Members.

In the event that the Fund makes such a distribution of securities as payment for Units, Members shall bear any risks of the distributed securities and may be required to pay a brokerage commission or other costs in order to dispose of such securities.

(q) A Member who tenders some but not all of the Member’s Units for repurchase shall be required to maintain a minimum aggregate Net Asset Value of Units equal to $25,000 unless waived by the Board in its sole discretion. The Fund may reduce the amount to be repurchased from a Member so that the required minimum aggregate Net Asset Value of Units is maintained.

(r) The Fund may maintain cash or borrow money to pay repurchase proceeds, which would increase the Fund’s operating expenses and would adversely impact the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.

3.3 Mandatory Repurchases.

(a) The Board may cause the Fund to repurchase the Units of a Member or of any person acquiring such Units from or through a Member in the event that the Board determines or has reason to believe that, among other things:

(i) all or part of such Units have been transferred or such Units have vested in any person by operation of law as a result of the death, dissolution, bankruptcy or incompetency of a Member;

(ii) ownership of such Units by such Member or other person will cause the Fund to be in violation of, or subject the Fund or any Member to additional registration or regulation under the securities, commodities, or other laws of the U.S. or any other relevant jurisdiction;

(iii) continued ownership of such Units may be harmful or injurious to the business or reputation of the Fund, or may subject the Fund or any Members to an undue risk of adverse tax or other fiscal consequences;

(iv) any representation or warranty made by a Member in connection with the acquisition of its Units was not true when made or has ceased to be true; or

(v) it would be in the best interests of the Fund for the Fund to cause a mandatory repurchase of such Units.

(b) Members whose Units are mandatorily repurchased by the Fund shall not be entitled to a return of any amount of Sales Charge that was charged in connection with the Member’s purchase of Units.

IV. VALUATION

4.1 Valuation of Assets. Valuation of the Fund’s assets will be determined in the following manner:

(a) the value of each asset of the Fund (except goodwill, which shall not be taken into account) shall be determined as of each Fiscal Period Closing in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. However, to the extent consistent with applicable law, if the Board determines that GAAP does not fairly represent the fair value of any asset of the Fund, the Board may value such asset as it may reasonably determine and shall set forth the basis for any such valuation in writing in the records of the Fund. All values assigned to the assets of the Fund pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be binding and conclusive as to all parties; and

(b) the valuation of all, or some, of the Fund’s assets may be suspended by the Board, at its discretion, with respect to any Fiscal Period Closing on which trading is suspended or restricted on any domestic or international stock or commodities exchange. In such event, the Fiscal Period Closing to which such valuation relates shall be postponed until the Board elects to make such valuation or the next day on which such exchange or exchanges are open for trading on an unrestricted basis, with the day following the postponed Fiscal Period Closing being the first day of the next Fiscal Period.

4.2 Reserves. Liabilities shall be determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. The Board, in its sole discretion, may from time to time provide reserves for liabilities and expenses where the amounts of such items are not known and no accrual under GAAP would be required.

V. DISSOLUTION OF THE FUND

5.1 Dissolution.

(a) The Fund shall be dissolved and its affairs wound-up upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) any Member that has submitted a written request, in accordance with the terms set forth in Article III, to tender all of such Member’s Units for repurchase by the Fund (A) has not been given the opportunity to so tender within a period of two years after the request (whether in a single Offer or multiple consecutive offers within the two-year period) and (B) has provided written notice to the Fund within 30 calendar days of the end of such two-year period.

(ii) any event which would make it unlawful to continue the existence of the Fund; or

(iii) the Board determines to dissolve the Fund upon 30 calendar days’ prior written notice to the Members.

(b) Upon dissolution of the business of the Fund, which dissolution shall be deemed a Fiscal Quarter Closing, the Board shall, at any time during the 90 calendar day period following completion of a final audit of the Fund’s books and records, make distributions out of Fund assets in the following manner and order:

(i) to payment and discharge of the claims of all creditors of the Fund who are not Members;

(ii) to payment and discharge of the claims of Member creditors of the Fund pro rata based on the respective amounts of their claims; and

(iii) to each Member in proportion to number of Units held by such Member.

5.2 Liquidating Trust. The Board may, at its discretion if determined to be in the best interests of Members, distribute the assets of the Fund into and through a liquidating trust to effect the liquidation of, all or a portion of, the Fund. The use of a liquidating trust would be subject to the regulatory requirements of the 1940 Act and applicable Delaware law, and could result in expenses that the Members would bear indirectly.

VI. DISTRIBUTIONS, WITHHOLDING AND DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

6.1 Annual Distributions. The Fund shall distribute all of its net investment income to Members for each calendar year (an “Annual Distribution”). The Annual Distributions shall be made to each Member pro rata based on the number of Units held by such Member and will be net of Fund expenses. Units are issued and outstanding from the initial date on which Units are sold (or other date on which Units are issued by the Fund) to the date on which such Units are repurchased by the Fund.

6.2 Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

(a) Unless a Member makes a Distribution Election, all distributions shall be reinvested in full and fractional Units at the Net Asset Value per Unit next determined on the payable date of such Annual Distributions. Any such Units shall be registered in the name of such Member.

(b) If a Member has made a Distribution Election, the Fund shall make Annual Distributions in cash (except that the Board may determine to agree to requests to receive Distributions in a combination of cash and Units). Any such Units shall be registered in the name of such Member and any such cash payment shall be mailed or wired as soon as practicable after the final calculation of the amounts due. No interest shall accrue on amounts represented by uncashed Annual Distributions checks.

(d) The Fund shall be entitled to withhold or cause to be withheld from each Member’s distribution from the Fund such amounts on account of taxes or similar charges, if any, as are required by applicable law. Each Member shall furnish to the Fund from time to time all such information as is required by applicable law or otherwise reasonably requested by the Fund (including certificates in the form prescribed by the Code or Treasury Regulations thereunder or applicable state, local or foreign law) to permit the Fund to ascertain whether and in what amount withholding is required in respect of such Member.

VII. FINANCIAL REPORTING

7.1 Independent Auditors. The books and records of the Fund shall be audited by the Accountants as of the end of each Fiscal Year.

7.2 Filing of Tax Information. The Board shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and cause the Fund to file: (b) all necessary U.S. federal tax returns in compliance with applicable sections of the Code; and (c) all required state and local tax returns with the appropriate taxing authority.

7.3 Reports to Members. Following each Fiscal Quarter, the Fund shall prepare and deliver to each Member a report setting forth the Fund’s estimated investment performance (based on unaudited data) for that Fiscal Quarter and from the beginning of the current Fiscal Year through the end of such Fiscal Quarter. Within 60 calendar days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Fund or Accountants shall prepare and deliver to each Member a report setting forth as of the end of such Fiscal Year:

(a) a balance sheet of the Fund;

(b) a statement showing the increase or decrease in Net Asset Value of the Fund for such Fiscal Year;

(d) the Net Asset Value per Unit and the manner of calculation;

(e) the aggregate Net Asset Value of such Member’s Units and the manner of calculation; and

(f) any such information as may be required by applicable regulatory authorities.

The Fund may deliver such quarterly and annual reports in electronic format or make them available to Members through the Fund’s website.

VIII. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY

8.1 Indemnification.

(a) ICM, the Initial Member and their respective Affiliates and each Director (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified by the Fund against any losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses, and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by them in connection with the Fund, provided that the same were not finally adjudicated in a decision on the merits thereof by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been the result of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence by such Indemnified Party or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Indemnified Party’s actions, on the part of the Board or its Affiliates or such Director.

(b) Expenses, including counsel fees so incurred by any such Indemnified Party (but excluding amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines or penalties), shall be paid from time to time by the Fund in advance of the final disposition of any such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party to repay amounts so paid to the Fund if it is ultimately determined that indemnification of such expenses is not authorized under this Article VIII, provided, that (x) such Indemnified Party shall provide security for his or her undertaking, (y) the Fund shall be insured against losses arising by reason of such Indemnified Party’s failure to fulfill his or her undertaking, or (z) a majority of Independent Directors of the Fund, or independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall determine, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that there is reason to believe such Indemnified Party ultimately will be entitled to indemnification.

(c) As to any matter disposed of (whether by a compromise payment, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise) without an adjudication in a decision on the merits by a court, or by any other body before which the proceeding was brought, that such Indemnified Party is liable to the Fund or its Members by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Indemnified Party’s actions, indemnification shall be provided if (x) approved as in the best interest of the Fund, after notice that it involves such indemnification, by at least a majority of the Independent Directors of the Fund, upon a determination, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification, or (y) there has been obtained an opinion in writing of independent legal counsel, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), to the effect that such indemnification would not protect such Indemnified Party against any liability to the Fund or the Members to which such Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Indemnified Party’s actions.

Any approval pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall not prevent the recovery from any Indemnified Party of any amount paid to such Indemnified Party in accordance with this paragraph (c) as indemnification if such Indemnified Party is subsequently adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been liable to the Fund or the Members by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Indemnified Party’s actions.

(d) The Fund shall not incur the cost of any portion of insurance which insures any party against any liability for which the indemnification is herein prohibited.

(e) Advances by the Fund to an Indemnified Party for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of a legal action will be made only if the Indemnified Party undertakes to repay the advanced funds, with interest at a risk-free rate from the initial date of such advance, to the Fund in cases in which they would not be entitled to indemnification under the first paragraph of this Section 8.1.

(f) In no event shall any indemnification permitted by this Section 8.1 be made by the Fund unless all provisions of this Section 8.1 for the payment of indemnification have been complied with in all respects.

(g) 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 SEC) in the Fund’s Form N-2 or other reports required to be filed with the SEC 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.

8.2 Liability. (a) No Indemnified Party shall have any liability to the Fund or to any Member for any loss suffered by the Fund which arises out of any action or inaction of such Indemnified Party if such Indemnified Party, in good faith, determined that such course of conduct was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Fund and such course of conduct did not constitute willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Indemnified Party’s actions.

(b) No Indemnified Party shall be liable to the Fund or any Member for losses due to circumstances beyond their control, including but not limited to, the bankruptcy, insolvency, or suspension of normal business activities by any service provider to the Fund or the Master Fund, or due to the negligence, dishonesty, bad faith, or misfeasance of any service provider to the Fund or the Master Fund chosen by the Board in good faith.

(c) No Indemnified Party shall bear any liability whatsoever in respect of valuations provided by a service provider to the Fund or the Master Fund or any entity in which the Master Fund invests relied on by such Indemnified Party in good faith provided that such service provider was selected by the Board in good faith after the exercise of due care in such selection.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights granted to the Fund or any Member under the U.S. federal securities laws.

IX. ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

9.1 Investment in Accordance with Law. The Fund shall require each Member that is investing assets on behalf of, an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in, and subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA, or a “plan,” as defined in and subject to Section 4975 of the Code (each such employee benefit plan and plan, a “Plan”), and each fiduciary thereof who has caused the Plan to become a Member to make such representations and certifications and establish any related procedures as the Board may deem appropriate from time to time.

9.2 No Fiduciary Responsibility. Except in the instance where a Plan is the sole investor in the Fund, the underlying assets of the Fund will not be considered to be “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA, because the Fund is registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. For that reason, none of ICM, the Initial Member, any Underlying Adviser, any member of the Board, any other selling agent, any of their respective affiliates, or any of their respective agents or employees will be a fiduciary within the meaning of ERISA with respect to the Plans that acquire the Units.

X. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 General. This Agreement: (a) shall be binding on the executors, administrators, heirs, successors, and legal representatives of the Members and the Directors; and (b) may be executed through the use of any number of counterparts of this Agreement or the Investor Certification, with the same effect as if the parties executing such counterparts had all executed one counterpart of this Agreement.

10.2 Special Power of Attorney. Each Member hereby appoints the Initial Member as such Member’s true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, in such Member’s name, place, and stead, to make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to, publish, record, and file:

(a) any certificates of formation with respect to the Fund in various jurisdictions and any amendments thereto, and any certificates of assumed name or of doing business under a fictitious name with respect to the Fund and any amendments thereto;

(b) any amendments, modifications, or supplements to this Agreement, approved by the requisite Members or not requiring such approval as provided herein; and

(c) any instruments which the Board deems appropriate to qualify or continue the Fund in the State of Delaware and the jurisdictions in which the Fund may conduct business, or which may be required to be filed by the Fund or the Members under the laws of any jurisdiction or under any amendments or successor statutes to the Act, or which reflect the dissolution or termination of the Fund.

The power of attorney hereby granted by each Member is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable, and shall survive and shall not be affected by the subsequent death, disability, incapacity, incompetency, termination, bankruptcy, insolvency, or dissolution of such Member.

10.3 Amendments.

(a) The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be modified or amended from time to time with the prior written consent of the Board and of Members having, in the aggregate, Units with Net Asset Value in excess of 50% of the aggregate Net Asset Value insofar as is consistent with the laws governing this Agreement. Members may be required to respond in the negative to a proposed amendment within a certain time period, but not less than 20 calendar days, or be deemed to have consented to such amendment. No amendment to this Agreement may be made without the consent of the Board. However, the consent of each Member shall be required for any amendment which would reduce such Member’s Net Asset Value per Unit or amend this Section 10.3.

(b) In addition, the Board may, without the consent of any Member:

(i) amend this Agreement to correct clerical errors and reconcile inconsistencies;

(ii) following written notice to the Members given at least 60 days prior to any Fiscal Quarter Closing, amend this Agreement, effective as of the first day of the Fiscal Quarter after the giving of such notice, in the following manner: (i) to make a change in any provision of this Agreement that requires an action to be taken by or on behalf of a “manager” (as defined in Section 18-101(10) of the Act) or the Members pursuant to the requirements of applicable Delaware law if the provisions of applicable Delaware law are amended, modified, or revoked so that the taking of such action is no longer required; (ii) to reflect a change in the name of the Fund; and (iii) to permit the Fund to comply with applicable laws, rules, and regulations of the SEC and other regulatory authorities then in effect;

(iii) following written notice to the Members given at least 90 days prior to the end of a Fiscal Year, amend this Agreement to change the Fiscal Year, the Fiscal Quarters or the length of each Fiscal Period; and

(iv) following written notice to the Members, change this Agreement in any manner that does not adversely affect the Members in any material respect or that is required or contemplated by other provisions of this Agreement or that is required by law.

(c) No amendment to this Agreement will be valid to the extent such amendment was not approved in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act.

10.4 Certification of Non-Foreign Status. Each Member or transferee of a Unit from a Member that is admitted to the Fund in accordance with this Agreement shall certify, upon admission to the Fund and at such other time thereafter as the Board may request, whether he or she is a “United States Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code on forms to be provided by the Fund, and shall notify the Fund within 30 days of any change in such Member’s status. Any Member who shall fail to provide such certification when requested to do so by the Board may be treated as a non-United States Person for purposes of U.S. federal tax withholding.

10.5 Entity Classification Election. The Fund shall execute and file a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8832 electing to classify the Fund as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 as of a date no later than the date hereof, and each Officer of the Fund and each Director is hereby authorized to execute and file such Form 8832 for all of the Members.

The Fund is hereby authorized to execute and file for all of the Members any comparable form or document required by any applicable United States state or local income or similar tax law for the Fund to be classified as a corporation under such tax law.

10.6 Notices. All notices or communications required or permitted to be given or delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing. All notices to the Fund shall be addressed to its office and place of business. All notices addressed to a Member shall be addressed to such party at the address set forth on the counterpart hereof or in such party’s Investor Certification. Any Member may designate a new address by notice to that effect given to the Fund. In the case of a Member, the date of personal delivery or, in the case of telecopy or similar means of simultaneous transmission and receipt, the date of transmission or, in the case of mailing, the date of mailing, as the case may be, shall be the date of the delivery or the giving of such notice or other communication. Notices to the Fund shall be effective upon receipt.

10.7 Choice of Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. Notwithstanding the place where this Agreement may be executed by any of the parties hereto, the parties expressly agree that all the terms and provisions hereof shall be construed under the laws of the State of Delaware and, without limitation thereof, that the Act as now adopted or as it may be hereafter amended shall govern the limited liability company aspects of this Agreement. Any dispute or controversy arising under, out of, in connection with, or in relation to this Agreement, and any amendments hereof, or the breach thereof, or in connection with the dissolution of the Fund, shall be determined and settled by arbitration to be held in San Francisco, California, in accordance with the rules then effective of the American Arbitration Association. A single arbitrator, experienced in matters regarding limited liability companies that invest in securities, appointed by the American Arbitration Associations, shall conduct the arbitration. Any award rendered therein shall be final and binding on each and all of the Members, and judgment may be entered thereon in a federal or state court sitting in San Francisco, California. IN THE EVENT THAT ARBITRATION IS FOUND NOT TO BE AN APPROPRIATE REMEDY AND A COURT PROCEEDING ENSUES, SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL TAKE PLACE IN A FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, AND A JURY TRIAL SHALL BE WAIVED BY EACH MEMBER AND EACH DIRECTOR.

10.8 Attorneys’ Fees. If any Member or Members seeks to enforce such Member’s rights under this Agreement by arbitration or other legal proceeding, the Member shall pay the costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and witness fees, incurred by the Fund or any Director in connection with such proceeding should the Member or Members not prevail in such proceeding.

10.9 Headings. The headings of the Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and are not to be considered in construing the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

10.10 Construction and Interpretation. If any question should arise with respect to the operation of the Fund which is not otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement or with respect to the interpretation of this Agreement, the Board is hereby authorized to make a final determination with respect to any such question and to interpret this Agreement in such a manner as it shall deem fair and equitable.

The Board’s determinations and interpretations so made shall be final and binding on all parties. Whenever possible, the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law. However, if any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such unenforceability or invalidity and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue to be binding and in full force and effect.

10.11 Further Assurances. Each party hereto will execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, record and publish such further certificates as may be required by law or may be necessary or desirable, at the discretion of the Board, to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

10.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the related Investor Certification constitute the entire understanding and agreement among the Members with respect to the subject matter hereof.

10.13 Discretion. To the fullest extent permitted by law, whenever in this Agreement a natural person or entity is permitted or required to make a decision (a) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the natural person or entity will be entitled to consider only those interests and factors as he, she or it desires, including his, her or its own interests, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Fund or the Members, or (b) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, then the natural person or entity will act under the express standard and will not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated by this Agreement or by relevant provisions of law or in equity or otherwise.

10.14 Merger and Consolidation.

(a) The Fund may merge or consolidate with or into one or more limited liability companies formed under the Act or other business entities under an agreement of merger or consolidation that has been approved in the manner contemplated by the Act.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an agreement of merger or consolidation approved in accordance with the Act may, to the extent permitted by the Act, (i) effect any amendment to this Agreement, (ii) effect the adoption of a new limited liability company agreement for the Fund if it is the surviving or resulting limited liability company in the merger or consolidation, or (iii) provide that the limited liability company agreement of any other document evidencing the merger or consolidation (including a limited liability company formed for the purpose of consummating the merger or consolidation) will be the limited liability company agreement of the surviving or resulting entity.

(c) The Fund may convert to another Delaware business entity in accordance with the Act upon the approval of the Members representing a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund (as defined in the 1940 Act).
