(b) The Company shall operate as a closed-end, non-diversified, management investment company in accordance with the 1940 Act and subject to any policies and investment restrictions set forth in the Prospectus.

Section 2.6. Board of Directors.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, the Organizational Member may designate such persons who shall agree to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement to serve as the initial Directors on the Board, subject to the election of such persons prior to the Closing Date by the Organizational Member. By signing this Agreement or the signature page of the Company’s investor application or certification, a Member admitted on the Closing Date shall be deemed to have voted for the election of each of the initial Directors to the Board. After the Closing Date, the Board may, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.6 with respect to the number of, and vacancies in, the position of Director and the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof with respect to the election of Directors to the Board by Members, designate any person who shall agree to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement as a Director. The names and mailing addresses of the Directors shall be set forth in the books and records of the Company. The number of Directors shall be fixed from time to time by the Board.

(b) Each Director shall serve on the Board for the duration of the term of the Company, unless his or her status as a Director shall be sooner terminated pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof. In the event of any vacancy in the position of Director, the remaining Directors serving on the Board may appoint an individual to serve in such capacity, so long as immediately after such appointment at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors then serving would have been elected by the Members. The Board may call a meeting of Members to fill any vacancy in the position of Director, and shall do so within 60 days after any date on which Directors who were elected by the Members cease to constitute a majority of the Directors then serving on the Board.

(c) In the event that no Director remains to continue the business of the Company, the Manager shall promptly call a meeting of the Members, to be held within 60 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 Company and, if the business shall be continued, of electing the required number of Directors to the Board.

Section 2.7. Members.

The Board may in its sole discretion reject any subscription for Interests. The Board may, in its sole discretion, suspend subscriptions for Interests at any time. The admission of any Person as a Member shall be effective upon the revision of the books and records of the Company to reflect the name and the contribution to the capital of the Company of such additional Member.

Section 2.8. Distribution Fees.

(a) A Member may be charged a distribution fee when a Distributor is used to sell such Member’s Interest in the amount and as set forth in the Prospectus.

(b) The distribution fee will be deducted from a prospective Member’s subscription amount; it will not constitute a capital contribution made by the Member to the Company nor part of the assets of the Company and may be adjusted or waived as described in the Prospectus.

Section 2.9. Both Directors and Members.

A Member may at the same time be a Director and a Member, in which event such Member’s rights and obligations in each capacity shall be determined separately in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof and as provided in the Delaware Act.

Section 2.10. Limited Liability.

Except as provided under applicable law, including capital contribution obligations, a Member shall not be liable for the Company’s debts, obligations and liabilities in any amount in excess of such Member’s contributions to the capital of the Company (plus such Member’s share of undistributed profits and assets). Except as provided under applicable law, a Director shall not be liable for the Company’s debts, obligations and liabilities.

Article III.

MANAGEMENT

Section 3.1. Management and Control.

(a) Management and control of the business of the Company shall be vested in the Board, which shall have the right, power and authority, on behalf of the Company and in its name, to exercise all rights, powers and authority

of “manager” as defined under the Delaware Act (but is not the same as the term “Manager” as defined in this Agreement) and to do all things necessary and proper to carry out the objective and business of the Company and their duties hereunder. No Director shall have the authority individually to act on behalf of or to bind the Company except within the scope of such Director’s authority as delegated by the Board. The parties hereto intend that, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) each Director shall be vested with the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the Company as are customarily vested in each director of a Delaware corporation and (ii) each Independent Director shall be vested with the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the Company as are customarily vested in each director of a closed-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act that is organized as a Delaware corporation who is not an “interested person” (as such term is defined in the 0000 Xxx) of such company. During any period in which the Company shall have no Directors, the Manager shall have the authority to manage the business and affairs of the Company. The Manager will oversee the day-to-day management of the Company and, subject to the approval of the Board, has the authority to: approve the acceptance of initial and subsequent subscriptions on behalf of the Company; determine whether future subscriptions should be accepted; make determinations on the transfer of Interests; and manage and oversee the general administrative and operational aspects of the Company.

(b) Members shall have no right to participate in and shall take no part in the management or control of the Company’s business and shall have no right, power or authority to act for or bind the Company. Members shall 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 or as otherwise required in the Delaware Act.

(c) The Board may delegate to a committee or to any other person any rights, power and authority vested by this Agreement in the Board to the extent permissible under applicable law.

(d) The Company will file a tax return as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all decisions for the Company relating to tax matters including, without limitation, whether to make any tax elections, the positions to be made on the Company’s tax returns and the settlement or further contest or litigation of any audit matters raised by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority, will be made by the Board. All actions (other than ministerial actions) taken by the Manager, as designated in this Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 below, will be subject to the approval of the Board. Each Member agrees not to treat, on his personal income tax return or any claim for a tax refund, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of such item by the Company.

Section 3.2. Actions by the Board of Directors.

(a) Unless provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Board shall act only: (i) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors (including the vote of a majority of the Independent Directors, if required by the 0000 Xxx) present at a meeting duly called at which a quorum of the Directors shall be present (in person or, if in person attendance is not required by the 1940 Act, by telephone) or (ii) by unanimous written consent of all of the Directors without a meeting, if permissible under the 1940 Act.

(b) The Board may designate from time to time a Chairman who shall preside at all meetings. Meetings of the Board may be called by the Chairman or by any two Directors, and may be held on such date and at such time and place as the Board shall determine. Each Director shall be entitled to receive written notice of the date, time and place of such meeting within a reasonable time in advance of the meeting. Notice need not be given to any Director who shall attend a meeting without objecting to the lack of notice or who shall execute a written waiver of notice with respect to the meeting. Directors may attend and participate in any meeting by telephone except where in person attendance at a meeting is required by the 1940 Act. A majority of the Directors shall constitute a quorum at any meeting.

(c) The Board may designate from time to time agents and employees of the Company who shall have the same powers and duties on behalf of the Company (including the power to bind the Company) as are customarily vested in officers of a Delaware corporation, and designate them as officers of the Company.

Section 3.3. Meetings of Members.

(a) Actions requiring the vote of the Members may be taken at any duly constituted meeting of the Members at which a quorum is present. Meetings of the Members may be called by the Board or by Members holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Members, and may be held at such time, date and place as the Board shall determine. The Board shall arrange to provide written notice of the meeting, stating the date, time and place of the meeting and the record date therefor, to each Member entitled to vote at the meeting within a reasonable time prior thereto. Failure to receive notice of a meeting on the part of any Member shall not affect the validity of any act or proceeding of the meeting, so long as a quorum shall be present at the meeting, except as otherwise required by applicable law. Only matters set forth in the notice of a meeting may be voted on by the Members at a meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of Members holding a majority of the total

number of votes eligible to be cast by all Members as of the record date shall constitute a quorum at any meeting. In the absence of a quorum, a meeting of the Members may be adjourned by action of a majority of the Members present in person or by proxy without additional notice to the Members. Except as otherwise required by any provision of this Agreement or of the 1940 Act, (i) those candidates receiving a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of Members shall be elected as Directors and (ii) all other actions of the Members taken at a meeting shall require the affirmative vote of Members holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by those Members who are present in person or by proxy at such meeting.

(b) Each Member shall be entitled to cast at any meeting of Members a number of votes equivalent to such Member’s Investment Percentage as of the record date for such meeting. The Board shall establish a record date not less than 10 nor more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of Members to determine eligibility to vote at such meeting and the number of votes that each Member will be entitled to cast thereat, and shall maintain for each such record date a list setting forth the name of each Member and the number of votes that each Member will be entitled to cast at the meeting.

(c) A Member may vote at any meeting of Members by a proxy properly executed in writing by the Member and filed with the Company before or at the time of the meeting. A proxy may be suspended or revoked, as the case may be, by the Member executing the proxy by a later writing delivered to the Company at any time prior to exercise of the proxy or if the Member executing the proxy shall be present at the meeting and decide to vote in person. Any action of the Members that is permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting if consents in writing, setting forth the action taken, are signed by Members holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast or such greater percentage as may be required in order to approve such action.

Section 3.4. Custody of Assets of the Company.

The physical possession of all funds, Securities or other properties of the Company shall at all times be held, controlled and administered by one or more custodians retained by the Company in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. The Manager will have no responsibility, other than that associated with the oversight and supervision of custodians retained by the Company, with respect to the collection of income or the physical acquisition or safekeeping of the funds, Securities or other assets of the Company, all duties of collection, physical acquisition or safekeeping being the sole obligation of such custodians.

Section 3.5. Other Activities of Members, the Manager and Directors.

(a) Neither the Manager nor any Director shall be required to devote its full time to the affairs of the Company, but shall devote such time as may reasonably be required to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Any Member, Manager or Director, and any Affiliate of any Member, Manager or Director, 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, members of any limited liability company, or trustees of any trust, or entering into any other commercial arrangements. No Member, Manager or Director shall have any rights in or to such activities of any other Member, Manager or Director, or any profits derived therefrom.

Section 3.6. Duty of Care.

(a) The Manager and Directors shall not be liable to the Company or to any of its Members for any loss or damage occasioned by any act or omission in the performance of their services under this Agreement, unless it shall be determined by final judicial decision on the merits from which there is no further right to appeal that such loss is due to an act or omission of such Manager or Director constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence of the duties involved in the conduct of such Manager’s or Director’s office.

(b) Members not in breach of any obligation hereunder or under any agreement pursuant to which the Member subscribed for an Interest shall be liable to the Company, any Member or third parties only as provided under the Delaware Act.

Section 3.7. Indemnification.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.7(b) hereof, indemnify the Manager 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, the Manager or Adviser or partner of the Manager or Adviser and their respective executors, heirs, assigns, successors or other legal representatives), its officers and each Director (and his respective executors, heirs, assigns, successors or other legal representatives) (each such person an “indemnitee”) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, or as fines or penalties, and reasonable counsel fees, 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 such 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. Except to the extent that such loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense shall have been finally determined in a judicial 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 such indemnitee by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty or gross negligence of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee’s office. The rights of indemnification provided under this Section 3.7 shall not be construed so as to provide for indemnification of a Director for any liability (including liability under 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 such indemnification would be in violation of applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the applicable provisions of this Section 3.7 to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(b) Expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, so incurred by any such 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 Company in advance of the final disposition of any such action, suit, investigation or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such indemnitee to repay to the Company amounts so paid if it shall ultimately be determined that indemnification of such expenses is not authorized under this Section 3.7; provided, that (i) such indemnitee shall provide security for such undertaking, (ii) the Company shall be insured by or on behalf of such indemnitee against losses arising by reason of such indemnitee’s failure to fulfill such undertaking, or (iii) a majority of the Directors (excluding any Director who is either seeking advancement of expenses hereunder 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 advancement of expenses hereunder) 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 there is reason to believe such indemnitee ultimately will be entitled to indemnification.

(c) As to the disposition of any action, suit, investigation or 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 shall have been brought, that an indemnitee is liable to the Company or its Members by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty or gross negligence of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee’s office, indemnification shall be provided pursuant to Section 3.7(a) hereof if:

(i) approved as in the best interests of the Company by a majority of the Directors (excluding any Director who is either seeking indemnification hereunder 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 hereunder) upon a determination based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) that such indemnitee acted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that such actions were in the best interests of the Company and that such indemnitee is not liable to the Company or its Members by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty or gross negligence of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee’s office, or

(ii) the Board secures 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 such indemnification would not protect such indemnitee against any liability to the Company or its Members to which such indemnitee would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty or gross negligence of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee’s office.

(d) Any indemnification or advancement of expenses made pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall not prevent the recovery from any indemnitee of any such amount if such indemnitee subsequently is determined in a final judicial decision on the merits in any action, suit, investigation or proceeding involving the liability or expense that gave rise to such indemnification or advancement of expenses to be liable to the Company or its Members by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee’s office. In (i) any suit brought by an indemnitee (or other person entitled to indemnification hereunder) to enforce a right to indemnification under this Section 3.7 it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit in the name of the Company to recover any indemnification or advancement of expenses made pursuant to this Section 3.7 the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee under this Section 3.7 has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 3.7. In any such suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover any indemnification or advancement of expenses made pursuant to this Section 3.7, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to any

indemnification or advancement of expenses, under this Section 3.7 shall be on the Company (or any Member acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the Company or its Members).

(e) An indemnitee may not satisfy any right of indemnification or advancement of expenses granted in this Section 3.7 or to which such indemnitee may otherwise be entitled except out of the assets of the Company, and no Member shall be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses.

(f) The rights of indemnification provided hereunder shall 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 3.7 shall affect the power of the Company to purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of the Manager, any Director, the Adviser or other person.

Section 3.8. Fees, Expenses and Reimbursement.

(a) So long as the Administrator provides Administrative Services to the Company, it shall be entitled to receive reasonable and customary fees for such services as well as out-of-pocket expenses as may be agreed to by the Administrator and the Company pursuant to a separate written agreement.

(b) As consideration for providing advisory services to the Master Fund, and for so long as the Manager provides such advisory services to the Master Fund, the Manager shall be entitled to receive the Incentive Fee in respect of Incentive Period.

(c) The Board may cause the Company to compensate each Director for his or her services rendered in connection with the Company. In addition, the Directors shall be reimbursed by the Company for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in performing their duties under this Agreement.

(d) The Company shall bear all expenses related to its investment program, including, its allocable portion of the operating expenses of the Master Fund and expenses of the Master Fund’s investment in the Investment Funds. Expenses to be borne by the Company (both directly and indirectly) include, but are not limited to, fees paid and expenses reimbursed to Investment Funds or 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 Master Fund’s account such as direct and indirect expenses associated with the Master Fund’s investments, including its investments in Investment Funds (whether or not consummated), and enforcing the Master Fund’s rights in respect of such investments; transfer taxes and

premiums; taxes withheld on non-U.S. dividends; fees for data and software providers; research expenses; professional fees (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of consultants, attorneys and experts); if applicable in connection with temporary or cash management investments, brokerage commissions, interest and commitment fees on loans and debit balances, borrowing charges on securities sold short, dividends on securities sold but not yet purchased and margin fees; any interest expense; attorneys’ fees and disbursements associated with preparing and updating the offering materials and with qualifying prospective investors; fees and disbursements of any accountants engaged by the Master Fund or the Company, and expenses related to the annual audit of the Master Fund or the Company; record-keeping, custody and escrow fees and expenses; the costs of errors and omissions / directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and a fidelity bond; the Management Fee; the Incentive Fee; the costs of preparing and mailing reports and other communications, including proxy, tender offer correspondence or similar materials, to Members; fees and travel expenses of Directors relating to meetings of the Board and committees thereof; all costs and charges for equipment or services used in communicating information regarding the Master Fund’s transactions; and any extraordinary expenses, including indemnification expenses as provided for in this Agreement.

(e) Subject to procuring any required regulatory approvals, from time to time the Company may, alone or in conjunction with other accounts for which the Manager, or any of its affiliates, acts as general partner or investment adviser, purchase insurance in such amounts, from such insurers and on such terms as the Board shall determine.

(f) Expenses incurred in connection with the ongoing offering of Interests of the Company will be borne by the Company. In addition, the Company will bear its allocable portion of any expenses incurred by the Master Fund in connection with the ongoing offering of the Master Fund’s interests.

(g) In consideration of the services provided by the Manager to the Master Fund under the Investment Management Agreement, the Master Fund will pay the Manager a quarterly fee of 0.3125% of the Master Fund’s net assets (the “Management Fee”). The Company, through its investment in the Master Fund, will bear its allocable portion of the Management Fee. The Manager shall be entitled to reduce the Company’s share of the Management Fee, provided such reduction is for the benefit of all Members on an equal and pro rata basis, in its sole discretion.

Article IV.

TERMINATION OF STATUS OF MANAGER AND DIRECTORS, TRANSFERS

AND REPURCHASES

Section 4.1. Termination of Status of the Manager.

The status of the Manager as investment manager under the Investment Management Agreement between the Company and the Manager shall be terminated at any time, (i) by the Company on 60 days’ written notice to the Manager, without the payment any penalty, by a vote of a majority of the entire Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company; or (ii) upon 90 days’ written notice by the Manager. The status of the Manager as investment manager of the Master Fund shall be terminated if the Investment Management Agreement between the Master Fund and the Manager terminates and the Master Fund does not enter into a new investment management agreement with the Manager, effective as of the date of such termination. The Investment Management Agreement will automatically and immediately terminate in the event of its assignment by the Manager, provided that an assignment to a successor to all or substantially all of the Manager’s business or to a wholly-owned subsidiary of such successor which does not result in a change of actual control of the Manager’s business shall not be deemed to be an assignment for the purposes of the Investment Management Agreement.

Section 4.2. Termination of Status of a Director.

The status of a Director shall terminate if the Director, pursuant to Delaware law, is removed, resigns or is subject to various disabling events such as death, incapacity or bankruptcy. A Director may resign, subject to giving 90 days’ prior written notice to the other Directors if such resignation is likely to affect adversely the tax status of the Company.

Section 4.3. Removal of the Directors.

Any Director may be removed either by (a) the vote or written consent of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors not subject to the removal vote or (b) the vote or written consent of Members holding not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Members.

Section 4.4. Removal of the Manager.

The Manager may be removed as Manager under this Agreement by the vote or written consent of Members holding not less than 80% of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Members.

Section 4.5. Transfer of Interests of Members.

(a) An Interest of a Member may be transferred only (i) by operation of law pursuant to the death, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or incompetency of such Member or (ii) under certain limited circumstances with the written consent of the Board (which may be withheld in its sole discretion).

(b) The Board may not consent to a Transfer unless:

(i) (x) the Company consults with legal counsel to the Company and counsel confirms that the Transfer will not cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation or be subject to any other adverse tax or regulatory treatment and (y) the following conditions are met: (i) the Transferring Member has been a Member for at least six (6) months; (ii) the proposed Transfer is to be made on a Valuation Date; and (iii) the Transfer is (A) one in which the tax basis of the

Interest in the hands of the transferee is determined, in whole or in part, by reference to its tax basis in the hands of the Transferring Member (e.g., certain Transfers to affiliates, gifts and contributions to family entities), (B) to members of the Transferring Member’s immediate family (siblings, spouse, parents and children), or (C) a distribution from a qualified retirement plan or an individual retirement account; and

(ii) (x) the person to whom the Interest is Transferred (or each of the person’s beneficial owners if such a person is a “private investment company” as defined in paragraph (d)(3) of Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act) is a person whom the Board believes meets the requirements of paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act or any successor rule thereto and (y) the entire Interest of the Member is Transferred to a single transferee or, in the case of multiple transferees, after the Transfer of a portion of an Interest, the balance of the Capital Account of each transferee and the remaining balance of the Capital Account of the transferor (if any) is each not less than $50,000 or such lesser amount as the Board may determine in its sole discretion.

(c) Any transferee that acquires an Interest by operation of law as the result of the death, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or incompetency of a Member, shall be entitled to the allocations and distributions allocable to the Interest so acquired and to Transfer such Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but shall not be entitled to the other rights of a Member unless and until such transferee becomes a substituted Member. Once a Member obtains the approval of the Board and satisfies the other requirements to transfer its Interests, the Board shall promptly take all necessary actions so that the transferee to whom such Interest is transferred is admitted to the Company as a Member.

(d) In no event, however, will any transferee or assignee be admitted as a Member without the consent of the Board, which may be withheld in its sole discretion. Any pledge, transfer, or assignment not made in accordance with this Section 4.5 shall be void.

(e) The admission of any transferee as a substituted Member will be effective upon the execution and delivery by, or on behalf of, the substituted Member of this Agreement or an instrument that constitutes the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Each Member and transferee agrees to pay all expenses, including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, incurred by the Company in connection with any Transfer. If a Member Transfers its entire Interest as a Member, it will not cease to be a Member unless and until the transferee is admitted to the Company as a substituted Member in accordance with this Section 4.5.

(f) Each Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Directors, the Manager, each other Member and any Affiliate of the foregoing against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including legal or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses or any judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement), joint or several, to which such persons may become subject by reason of, or arising from, (i) any Transfer made by such Member in violation of this Section 4.5 and (ii) any misrepresentation by such Member in connection with any such Transfer.

Section 4.6. Repurchase of Interests.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member or other person holding an Interest or portion thereof shall have the right to withdraw or tender to the Company for repurchase that Interest or portion thereof. The Board from time to time, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may determine, may cause the Company to repurchase Interests or portions thereof pursuant to written tenders. However, the Company shall not offer to repurchase Interests on more than four occasions during any Taxable Year unless it has received an opinion of counsel to the effect that such more frequent offers would not cause any adverse tax consequences to the Company or Members. In determining whether to cause the Company to repurchase Interests pursuant to written tenders, the Board shall consider the recommendation of the Manager, and shall also consider the following factors, among others:

(i) whether any Members have requested to tender Interests or portions thereof to the Company;

(ii) the liquidity of the Company’s assets (including fees and costs associated with withdrawing from Investment Funds);

(iii) the investment plans and working capital and reserve requirements of the Company;

(iv) the relative economies of scale with respect to the size of the Company;

(v) the history of the Company in repurchasing Interests; and

(vi) the anticipated tax consequences of any proposed repurchases of Interests.

The Board shall cause the Company to repurchase Interests or portions thereof pursuant to written tenders only on terms fair to the Company and to all Members (including persons holding Interests acquired from Members), as applicable.

(b) A Member tendering for repurchase only a portion of the Member’s Interest will be required to maintain a Capital Account balance of at least $50,000 after giving effect to the repurchase. If a Member tenders an amount that would cause the Member’s Capital Account balance to fall below the required minimum, the Manager reserves the right to reduce the amount to be repurchased from the Member so that the required minimum balance is maintained or to repurchase the Member’s entire Interest in the Company.

(c) Repurchases pursuant to Company tender offers shall be effective after receipt and acceptance by the Company of all eligible written tenders of Interests from Members and, unless otherwise determined by the Board from time to time, including as a result of changes in applicable law or the interpretation thereof, shall be subject to the following repurchase procedures:

(i) Members choosing to tender an Interest for repurchase must do so by the applicable Notice Date. Generally, the Notice Date will be the last calendar day of the third month prior to the month containing the date as of which Interests are to be repurchased. (For example, the Notice Date for a repurchase offer having a December 31 repurchase date would be September 30.) Interests (or portions thereof) will be valued as of the Valuation Date (which date, unless otherwise determined by the Board, shall be the last business day of the month in which such Interests are to be repurchased);

(ii) Promptly after the Notice Date, the Company will give to each Member whose Interest has been accepted for repurchase a Promissory Note entitling the Member to be paid an amount equal to the value, determined as of the Valuation Date, of the repurchased Interest;

(iii) The Promissory Note, which will be non-interest bearing and non-transferable, is expected to contain terms providing for payment at two separate times;

(iv) The initial payment in respect of the Promissory Note (the “Initial Payment”) will be in an amount equal to at least 90% of the estimated value of the repurchased Interest, determined as of the Valuation Date. The Initial Payment will be made as of the later of (1) a period of within 30 days after the Valuation Date, or (2) if the Master Fund has requested withdrawals of its capital from any Investment Funds in order to fund the repurchase of the Company’s interests in the Master Fund, within ten business days after the Master Fund has received at least 90% of the aggregate amount withdrawn from such Investment Funds; and

(v) The second and final payment in respect of the Promissory Note (the “Post-Audit Payment”) will be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the value of the repurchased Interest, determined as of the Valuation Date and based upon the results of the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year in which the Valuation Date occurs, over (2) the Initial Payment. The Manager anticipates that the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements will be completed within 60 days after the end of each Fiscal Year and that the Post-Audit Payment will be made promptly after the completion of the audit.

(vi) Although the amounts required to be paid by the Company under the Promissory Note will generally be paid in cash, the Company may under certain limited circumstances pay all or a portion of the amounts due by an in-kind distribution of securities.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Board, in its discretion, may pay all or any portion of the repurchase price in marketable Securities (or any combination of marketable Securities and cash) having a value, determined as of the date of repurchase, equal to the amount to be repurchased. All repurchases of Interests shall be subject to any and all conditions as the Board may impose in its sole discretion. The amount due to any Member whose Interest or portion thereof is repurchased shall be equal to the audited value of such Member’s Capital Account or portion thereof, as applicable, as of the Valuation Date, after giving effect to all allocations to be made to such Member’s Capital Account as of such date.

(e) The Board may, in its sole discretion, elect to impose charges on Members who submit their Interest for repurchase.

Except as specified in the Delaware Act, or with respect to distributions or similar disbursements made in error, no Member shall be liable for the return of any such amounts.

(e) In the event all or a portion of the Interest of a Member 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) No Member will be required to pay the Company or any other Member any deficit in such Member’s Capital Account upon dissolution of the Company or otherwise.

Section 5.4. Allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses.

(b) Proceeds, if any, to which the Company may become entitled, and the Company’s share of proceeds, if any, to which the Master Fund may become entitled, pursuant to such insurance shall be allocated among and credited to the Capital Accounts of each Member who is a member of the Company during the Fiscal Period in which the event that gives rise to recovery of proceeds occurs in accordance with such Member’s Investment Percentage for such Fiscal Period.

Section 5.6. Allocation of Certain Expenditures.

Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and unless prohibited by the 1940 Act, any expenditures payable by the Company, and the Company’s share of any expenditures payable by the Master Fund, to the extent determined by the Board to have been paid or withheld on behalf of, or by reason of particular circumstances applicable to, one or more but fewer than all of the Members, shall be charged to only those Members on whose behalf such payments are made or whose particular circumstances gave rise to such payments. Such charges shall be debited from the Capital Accounts of such Members as of the close of the Fiscal Period during which any such items were paid or accrued by the Company.

Section 5.7. Reserves.

(a) Appropriate reserves may be created, accrued and charged against Net Assets and proportionately against the Capital Accounts of the Members for contingent liabilities, if any, as of the date any such contingent liability becomes known to the Manager or the Board. Such reserves will be in the amounts that the Board, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate. The Board may increase or reduce any such reserves from time to time by such amounts as the Board, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate.

(b) If at any time an amount is paid or received by the Company or by the Master Fund and allocated to the Company (other than contributions to the capital of the Company or the Master Fund, distributions or repurchases of Interests (or interests in the Master Fund) or portions thereof) and such amount exceeds the lesser of $500,000 or 1% of the aggregate value of the Capital Accounts of all Members at the time of payment or receipt and such amount was not accrued or reserved for but would nevertheless, in accordance with the Company’s accounting practices, be treated as applicable to one or more prior Fiscal Periods, then such amount shall be proportionately charged or credited, as appropriate, to those parties who were Members during such prior Fiscal Period or Periods.

Section 5.8. Allocation of Organizational Expenses.

The Manager will allocate among the Members a monthly expense to reimburse the Manager for the Company’s organizational expenses and initial offering costs.

(b) If the Company realizes capital gains (including short-term capital gains) for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any Fiscal Year during or as of the end of which the Interests of one or more Positive Basis Members (as hereinafter defined) are repurchased by the Company pursuant to Article IV, the Manager may elect to allocate net gains as follows:

(i) to such Positive Basis Members, in proportion to the Positive Basis (as hereinafter defined) of each such Positive Basis Member, until either the full amount of the net gains has been so allocated or the Positive Basis of each Positive Basis Member shall have been eliminated; and

(ii) any net gains not so allocated to Positive Basis Members to the other Members in a manner that equitably reflects the amounts credited to the Members’ Capital Accounts.

(c) If the Company realizes capital losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any Fiscal Year during or as of the end of which the Interests of one or more Negative Basis Members (as hereinafter defined) are repurchased by the Company under Article IV of this Agreement, the Manager may elect to allocate net losses as follows:

(i) to such Negative Basis Members, in proportion to the Negative Basis (as hereafter defined) of each Negative Basis Member, until either the full amount of net losses will have been so allocated or the Negative Basis of each Negative Basis Member has been eliminated, and

(ii) any net losses not so allocated to Negative Basis Members, to the other Members in a manner that reflects equitably the amounts credited to the Members’ Capital Accounts.

(d) As used herein, (i) the term “Positive Basis” means, with respect to any Member and as of any time of calculation, the amount by which the value of its Interest as of such time exceeds its “adjusted tax basis,” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in its Interest as of such time (determined without regard to any adjustments made to such “adjusted tax basis” by reason of any transfer or assignment of such Interest, including by reason of death, and without regard to such Member’s share of the liabilities of the Company under Section 752 of the Code), and (ii) the term “Positive Basis Member” means any Member whose Interest is repurchased by the Company and who has Positive Basis as of the effective date of the

repurchase, but such Member shall cease to be a Positive Basis Member at such time as it shall have received allocations pursuant to clause (i) of paragraph (b) equal to its Positive Basis as of the effective date of such repurchase.

(e) The term “Negative Basis” means, with respect to any Member and as of any time of calculation, the amount by which the Member’s “adjusted tax basis,” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the Member’s Interest in the Company 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 Member’s share of the liabilities of the Company under Section 752 of the Code) exceeds the value of its Interest as of such time. As used in this Section 5.9, the term “Negative Basis Member” means any Member whose Interest is repurchased by the Company and who has Negative Basis as of the effective date of the repurchase, but such Member shall cease to be a Negative Basis Member at such time as it shall have received allocations pursuant to clause (i) of paragraph (c) equal to its Negative Basis as of the effective date of such repurchase.

Section 5.10. Distributions.

The Board, in its sole discretion, may authorize the Company to make distributions in cash or in kind at any time to all of the Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Members’ Investment Percentages.

Section 5.11. Withholding.

(a) The Board may withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service (or any other relevant taxing authority) taxes from any distribution to any Member to the extent required by the Code or any other applicable law.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, any taxes so withheld by the Company, or withheld by any other person, with respect to any amount distributed by the Company to any Member shall be deemed to be a distribution or payment to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, reducing the amount otherwise distributable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement and reducing the Capital Account of such Member. If the amount of such taxes is greater than any such distributable amounts, then such Member and any successor to such Member’s Interest shall pay to the Company as a contribution to the capital of the Company, upon demand of the Board, the amount of such excess.

(c) The Board shall not be obligated to apply for or obtain a reduction of or exemption from withholding tax on behalf of any Member that may be eligible for such reduction or exemption. To the extent that a Member 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 Member shall furnish the Board with such information and forms as such Member may be required to complete where necessary to comply with any and all laws and regulations governing the obligations of withholding tax agents. Each Member represents and warrants that any such information and forms furnished by such Member shall be true and accurate and agrees to indemnify the Company and each of the Members from any and all damages, costs and expenses resulting from the filing of inaccurate or incomplete information or forms relating to such withholding taxes.

(b) Each Member is aware that the terms of this Agreement permit certain amendments to this Agreement to be effected and certain other actions to be taken or omitted by or with respect to the Company without such Member’s consent. If an amendment to the Certificate or this Agreement or any action by or with respect to the Company is taken in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, each Member agrees that, notwithstanding any objection that such Member may assert with respect to such action, the attorneys-in-fact appointed hereby are authorized and empowered, with full power of substitution, to exercise the authority granted above in any manner that may be necessary or appropriate to permit such amendment to be made or action lawfully taken or omitted. Each Member is fully aware that each Member will rely on the effectiveness of this special power-of-attorney with a view to the orderly administration of the affairs of the Company.

Section 8.5. Applicability of 1940 Act and Form N-2.

The parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, set forth the substantive provisions contained in the 1940 Act and the Form N-2 that affect numerous aspects of the conduct of the Company’s business and of the rights, privileges and obligations of the Members. Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to, and interpreted in a manner consistent with the applicable provisions of, the 1940 Act and the Form N-2.

Section 8.6. Choice of Law; Arbitration.

(a) 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, including the Delaware Act without regard to the conflict of law principles of such State.

(b) To the extent such action is consistent with the provisions of the 1940 Act and any other applicable law, except as provided in Section 8.11(b) of this Agreement, each Member agrees to submit all controversies arising between or among Members or one or more Members and the Company in connection with the Company or its businesses or concerning any transaction, dispute or the construction, performance or breach of this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the Company, whether entered into prior to, on or subsequent to the date of this Agreement, to arbitration in accordance with the provisions set out in this Section 8.6. EACH MEMBER UNDERSTANDS THAT ARBITRATION IS FINAL AND BINDING ON THE MEMBERS AND THAT THE MEMBERS IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT ARE WAIVING THEIR RIGHTS TO SEEK REMEDIES IN COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL.

(c) Controversies will be finally settled by, and only by, arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) to the fullest extent permitted by law. The place of arbitration will be New York, New York. Any arbitration under this Section 8.6 will be conducted before a panel of three arbitrators. The Member or Members initiating arbitration under this Section 8.6 will appoint one arbitrator in the demand for arbitration. The Member or Members against whom or which arbitration is sought will jointly appoint one arbitrator within 30 business days after notice from the AAA of the filing of the demand for arbitration. The two arbitrators nominated by the Members will attempt to agree on a third arbitrator within 30 business days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If the two arbitrators fail to agree on the third arbitrator within the 30-day period, then the AAA will appoint the third arbitrator within 30 business days following the expiration of the 30-day period. Any award rendered by the arbitrators will be final and binding on the Members, and judgment upon the award may be entered in the supreme court of the state of New York and/or the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, or any other court having jurisdiction over the award or having jurisdiction over the Members or their assets. The arbitration agreement contained in this Section 8.6 will not be construed to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to grant provisional relief (including by injunction or order of attachment) in aid of arbitration proceedings or enforcement of an award. In the event of arbitration as provided in this Section 8.6, the arbitrators will be governed by and will apply the substantive (but not procedural) law of Delaware, to the exclusion of the principles of the conflicts of law of Delaware. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the procedures set out in the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA. If those rules are silent with respect to a particular matter, the procedure will be as agreed by the Members, or in the absence of agreement among or between the Members, as established by the

arbitrators. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 8.6(c) will be construed to the maximum extent possible to comply with the laws of the State of Delaware, including the Uniform Arbitration Act (10 Del. C. (S) 5701 et seq.) (the “Delaware Arbitration Act”). If, nevertheless, it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision or wording of this Section 8.6(c), including any rules of the AAA, are invalid or unenforceable under the Delaware Arbitration Act or other applicable law, such invalidity will not invalidate all of this Section 8.6(c). In that case, this Section 8.6(c) will be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it valid or enforceable within the requirements of the Delaware Arbitration Act or other applicable law, and, in the event such term or provision cannot be so limited, this Section 8.6(c) will be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provision.

Section 8.7. Not for Benefit of Creditors.

The provisions of this Agreement are intended only for the regulation of relations among past, present and future Members, Directors, the Manager and the Company. This Agreement is not intended for the benefit of non-member creditors and no rights are granted to non-Member creditors under this Agreement.

Section 8.8. Consents.

Any and all consents, agreements or approvals provided for or permitted by this Agreement (including minutes of any meeting) shall be in writing and a signed copy thereof shall be filed and kept with the books of the Company.

Section 8.9. Merger and Consolidation.

(a) The Company may merge or consolidate with or into one or more limited liability companies formed under the Delaware Act or other business entities pursuant to an agreement of merger or consolidation that has been approved in the manner contemplated by Section 18-209(b) of the Delaware Act or may sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of the Company property, including its good will, upon such terms and conditions and for such consideration when and as authorized by the Board. The Board alone may approve, and Member approval shall not be required for, any merger or consolidation of the Company or any sale, lease or exchange of Company property, if such action would not have the effect of (i) increasing the obligation of a Member to make any contribution to the capital of the Company, (ii) reducing the Capital Account of a Member other than in accordance with Article V hereof, or (iii) modifying the events causing the dissolution of the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, an agreement of merger or consolidation approved in accordance with Section 18-209(b) of the Delaware Act may, to the extent

permitted by Section 18-209(f) of the Delaware Act, (i) effect any amendment to this Agreement, (ii) effect the adoption of a new limited liability company agreement for the Company 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 constituent limited liability company to the merger or consolidation (including a limited liability company formed for the purpose of consummating the merger or consolidation) shall be the limited liability company agreement of the surviving or resulting limited liability company.

Section 8.10. Pronouns.

All pronouns shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person or persons, firm or corporation may require in the context thereof.

Section 8.11. Confidentiality.

(a) A Member may obtain from the Company such information regarding the affairs of the Company as is just and reasonable under the Delaware Act, subject to reasonable standards (including standards governing what information and documents are to be furnished, at what time and location and at whose expense) established by the Board.

(b) Each Member covenants that, except as required by applicable law or any regulatory body, it will not divulge, furnish or make accessible to any other person the name and/or address (whether business, residence or mailing) of any Member (collectively, “Confidential Information”) without the prior written consent of the Board, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion.

(c) Each Member recognizes that in the event that this Section 8.11 is breached by any Member or any of its principals, partners, members, directors, officers, employees or agents or any of its affiliates, including any of such affiliates’ principals, partners, members, directors, officers, employees or agents, irreparable injury may result to the non-breaching Members and the Company. Accordingly, in addition to any and all other remedies at law or in equity to which the non-breaching Members and the Company may be entitled, such Members shall also have 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 therewith. In the event that any non-breaching Member or the Company determines that any of the other Members or any of its principals, partners, members, directors, officers, employees or agents or any of its affiliates, including any of such affiliates’ principals, partners, members, directors, officers, employees or agents should be enjoined from or required to take

any action to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information, each of the other non-breaching Members agrees to pursue in a court of appropriate jurisdiction such injunctive relief.

Section 8.12. Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be enforceable in the manner set forth in this Agreement, each Member agrees that it is the intention of the Members that such provision should be enforceable to the maximum extent possible under applicable law. If any provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidation or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof).

Section 8.13. Filing of Returns.

The Board or its designated agent shall prepare and file, or cause the accountants of the Company to prepare and file, a U.S. federal information tax return in compliance with Section 6031 of the Code and any required state and local income tax and information returns for each Taxable Year of the Company.

Section 8.14. Tax Matters Partner.

(a) The Manager shall be designated on the Company’s annual federal income tax return, and have full powers and responsibilities, as the Tax Matters Partner of the Company for purposes of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. In the event the Manager cannot act as Tax Matters Partner, another Member shall be so designated. Should any Member other than the Manager be designated as the Tax Matters Partner for the Company pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code, it shall, and each Member hereby does, to the fullest extent permitted by law, delegate to the Manager all of its rights, powers and authority to act as such Tax Matters Partner and hereby constitutes and appoints the Manager as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power to act in its name and on its behalf, including the power to act through such agents or attorneys as it shall elect or appoint, to receive notices, to make, execute and deliver, swear to, acknowledge and file any and all reports, responses and notices, and to do any and all things required or advisable, in the Manager’s judgment, to be done by such a Tax Matters Partner. Any Member designated as the Tax Matters Partner for the Company under Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any and all liabilities and obligations that arise from or by reason of such designation.

(b) Each person (for purposes of this Section 8.14(b), called a “Pass-Thru Partner”) that holds or controls an interest as a Member on behalf of, or for the benefit of, another person or persons, or which Pass-Thru Partner is beneficially owned (directly or indirectly) by another person or persons, shall, within 30 days following receipt from the Tax Matters Partner of any notice, demand, request for information or similar document, convey such notice or other document in writing to all holders of beneficial

interests in the Company holding such interests through such Pass-Thru Partner. In the event the Company shall be the subject of an income tax audit by any federal, state or local authority, to the extent the Company is treated as an entity for purposes of such audit, including administrative settlement and judicial review, the Tax Matters Partner shall be authorized to act for, and its decision shall be final and binding upon, the Company and each Member thereof. All expenses incurred by the Company or the Tax Matters Partner in connection with any such audit, investigation, settlement or review shall be borne by the Company.

Section 8.15. Section 754 Election; Mandatory Basis Adjustments.

(a) In the event of a distribution of Company property to a Member or an assignment or other Transfer (including by reason of death) of all or part of the Interest of a Member in the Company, at the request of a Member, the Manager, in its discretion, may cause the Company to elect, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code, or the corresponding provision of subsequent law, to adjust the basis of the Company property as provided by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code.

(b) In connection with a repurchase of a Member’s Interest or a distribution to a Member, such Member shall, at the request of the Manager, provide the Company with any information necessary to enable the Manager to determine the adjusted U.S. federal income tax basis of such Member’s Interest immediately prior to such repurchase or distribution.

(c) In connection with any Transfer of an Interest, the transferee shall provide the Company, within 30 days after such Transfer (or in the case of a transferee that acquires an Interest in the Company on the death of a Member, within one year of such death), with the written notice described in Section 3 of Notice 2005-32, 2005-16 I.R.B. 895 (or any successor regulation or administrative pronouncement).
