RE: ISSUANCE OF UNITS

Dear Sirs:

The offer and sale of limited liability company units (the “Units”) in Hatteras Global Private Equity Partners Institutional, LLC (“the Fund”), registered as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Company Act”), to each investor (the “Investor”) are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), but rather are being made privately by the Fund pursuant to the private placement exemption from registration provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on the basis of the Fund’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum filed with the SEC (the “Private Placement Memorandum”) as amended from time to time. Any capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Private Placement Memorandum.

The information requested in this Subscription Agreement is needed in order to ensure compliance with the appropriate regulations and to determine (1) whether an investment in the Fund by the Investor is suitable in light of the Investor’s financial position, (2) whether the Investor meets certain minimum net worth1 tests to be deemed an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment, (3) whether the Investor meets the minimum net worth test to be deemed a “qualified client” for purposes of Rule 205-3 promulgated under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) by the SEC and has such knowledge and experience in financial matters that it is able to understand the “Incentive Allocation” (as defined in the Private Placement Memorandum) being made by the Fund and its risks.

The Investor also understands and agrees that, although the Fund will use its best efforts to keep the information provided in the answers to this Subscription Agreement strictly confidential, the Fund may present this Subscription Agreement and the information provided in answers to it to such parties as it deems advisable if called upon to establish the availability under any applicable law of an exemption from registration of the Units or if the contents thereof are relevant to any issue in any action, suit, or proceeding to which the Fund, the board of managers of the Fund (the “Board”), the Placement Agent (as defined in the Private Placement Memorandum), the Investment Adviser or any of their affiliates is a party or by which they are or may be bound.

The Investor acknowledges that this Subscription Agreement does not constitute an offer by the Fund to sell the Units but is merely a request for information.

The Investor hereby agrees as follows:

For purposes of this questionnaire, “net worth” means the excess of total assets at fair market value, including home, home furnishings and automobiles, over total liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purpose of determining “net worth,” the principal residence owned by an individual shall be valued at either (A) costs, including the cost of improvements, net of current encumbrances upon the property, or (B) the appraised value of the property as determined by an institutional lender, net of current encumbrances upon the property.

I. SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR UNITS

(A) The Investor agrees to become a member of the Fund and in connection therewith subscribes for and agrees to purchase Units of and to make a capital contribution (a “Capital Contribution”) to the Fund on the terms provided for herein, in the Private Placement Memorandum, and in the limited liability company agreement of the Fund (the “Fund Agreement”). The minimum amount for initial subscriptions is set forth in the Private Placement Memorandum. Payment in good funds for Units must be received prior to the closing date. The Investor agrees to, and understands, the terms and conditions upon which the Units are being offered, including, without limitation, the risk factors referred to in the Private Placement Memorandum. Prior to the closing date established by the Fund for such subscription (the “Acceptance Date”), the Investor’s payment (the “Payment”) will be held in escrow by the Fund’s escrow agent, subject to the terms and conditions herein. The Investor agrees that the Fund’s escrow agent, in its sole discretion, may arrange for the Payment to be invested, together with the payments of other investors, in short-term certificates of deposit, short-term U.S. Government-backed securities or a similar short-term investment account pending the acceptance or rejection of the Investor’s subscription. Any interest actually earned on the Payment will be paid to the Fund, whether the Investor’s subscription for Units is accepted or rejected.

(B) The Investor understands and agrees that the Fund reserves the right to reject this subscription for Units for any reason or no reason, in whole or in part and at any time prior to acceptance thereof notwithstanding prior receipt by the Investor of notice of acceptance of the Investor’s subscription. In the event of rejection of this subscription, the Payment will be promptly returned to the Investor without deduction, and this Subscription Agreement shall have no force or effect. Upon acceptance of this subscription by the Fund, the Investor shall be a member of the Fund. The Investor hereby agrees that by its execution of this Subscription Agreement and upon acceptance hereof by the Fund, it shall become a party to the Fund Agreement. The Investor shall complete, sign and date this Subscription Agreement and promptly return it to Hatteras Funds, c/o UMB Fund Services, Inc. (the “Administrator”).

II. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE INVESTOR

(A) The Investor will not sell or otherwise transfer the Units without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that it must bear the economic risk of its investment for a substantial period of time (subject to limited liquidity provisions provided for in the Fund Agreement) because, among other reasons, the Units have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of certain states and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under applicable securities laws of such states or an exemption from such registration is available. The Investor understands that the Fund is under no obligation to register the Units on its behalf or to assist it in complying with any exemption from such registration under the Securities Act. The Investor also understands that sales or transfers of the Units are further restricted by the provisions of the Fund Agreement. The Investor further understands that the Fund is registered as an investment company under the Company Act as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company, and, as such, the Fund must comply with the requirements of the Company Act.

(B) The Investor has received, carefully read and understands the Fund Agreement and the Private Placement Memorandum outlining, among other things, the organization and investment objectives, strategies and policies of, and the risks and expenses of an investment in, the Fund. The Investor’s investment in the Units is consistent with the investment purposes and objectives and cash flow requirements of the Investor and will not adversely affect the Investor’s overall need for diversification and liquidity. The Investor acknowledges that it may request a copy of Part II of Form ADV for the Investment Adviser, as it may be amended from time to time, and a copy of Part II of Form ADV for CapVent US Advisors, LLC, as it may be amended from time to time, from UMB Fund Services, Inc. (the “Administrator”). The Investor further acknowledges that in making a decision to subscribe for Units, the Investor has relied solely upon the Private Placement Memorandum, the Fund Agreement and independent investigations made by the Investor. The Investor is not relying on the Fund, the Board, the Investment Adviser or the Placement Agent, or the references in the Private Placement Memorandum to any legal opinion, with respect to tax and other economic considerations involved in this investment. The Investor acknowledges that it is not subscribing pursuant hereto for Units as a result of or subsequent to (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media (including any internet site that is not password protected) or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees, including the Investor, had been invited as a result of, subsequent to or pursuant to any of the foregoing.

The Investor has been provided an opportunity to obtain any additional information concerning the offering, the Fund and all other information to the extent the Fund and/or the Investment Adviser possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense and has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Fund and/or the Investment Adviser concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and other matters pertaining to this investment.

(C) The Investor has not reproduced, duplicated or delivered the Private Placement Memorandum or this Subscription Agreement to any other person, except to professional advisers to the Investor or as instructed by the Investment Adviser and/or the Placement Agent.

(D) The Investor has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that the Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Investor’s investment in the Units and has obtained, in the Investor’s judgment, sufficient information from the Fund or its authorized representatives to evaluate the merits and risks of such investment. The Investor has evaluated the risks of investing in the Fund, is able to bear such risks, and has determined that the Units are a suitable investment for the Investor.

(E) The Investor is aware of the limited provisions for liquidity and transferability of the Units. The Investor has no need for liquidity in this investment, can afford a complete loss of the investment in the Units and can afford to hold the investment in the Units for an indefinite period of time.

(F) The Investor is acquiring the Units subscribed for herein for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to distribute or resell such Units in whole or in part.

(G) The Investor understands the compensation arrangement between the Fund and the Investment Adviser set forth in the Private Placement Memorandum, and understands the Incentive Allocation and its risks, which include that Incentive Allocation may create an incentive for the Investment Adviser to cause the Fund to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would have been made if the Incentive Allocation did not exist and that the Investment Adviser may receive increased compensation since the Incentive Allocation will be calculated on a basis which includes unrealized appreciation.

- 2 -

(H) The Investor agrees and is aware that: (i) no Federal or state agency has passed upon the Units or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment; (ii) there are substantial risks of loss of investment incidental to the purchase of the Units, including those summarized in the Private Placement Memorandum; (iii) the representations, warranties, agreements, undertakings and acknowledgments made by the Investor in this Subscription Agreement are made with the intent that they be relied upon by the Fund, the Board, the Investment Adviser, the Administrator and the Placement Agent in determining its suitability as a purchaser of the Units, and shall survive its admission as a member in the Fund, and in addition, the Investor undertakes to notify the Fund immediately of any change in any representation, warranty or other information relating to the Investor set forth herein; and (iv) portfolio managers of pooled investment vehicles or registered investment companies receive compensation from the Fund, including incentive compensation and asset based fees.

(I) The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Subscription Agreement are within the powers of the Investor, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which the Investor is a party or by which the Investor is bound, and, if the Investor is not an individual, will not violate any provisions of the incorporation papers, by-laws, indenture of trust or partnership agreement, as may be applicable, of the Investor. The signature on this agreement is genuine, and the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(J) The Investor has reviewed the website of the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and conducted such other investigation as he or it deems necessary or prudent, prior to making these representations and warranties.

(K) The Investor is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to lead Investor to believe that any of the funds tendered for the acquisition of the Units are directly or indirectly derived from activities that may contravene U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws.

(L) Investor understands and agrees that the investment of funds is prohibited by or restricted with respect to any persons or entities that: (i) are acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of terrorists or terrorist organizations, including those persons or entities that are included on any of the OFAC lists; (ii) reside or have a place of business in a country or territory named on any of such lists or which is designated as a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction by the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (“FATF”), or whose subscription funds are transferred from or through such a jurisdiction; (iii) are “Foreign Shell Banks” within the meaning of the USA PATRIOT Act; or (iv) reside in or are organized under the laws of a jurisdiction designated by the Secretary of the Treasury under Section 311 or 312 of the USA PATRIOT Act as warranting special measures due to money laundering concerns. Such persons or entities in (i) through (iv) are collectively referred to as “Restricted Persons.” Investor is not and Investor is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to lead Investor to believe that any investors in Investor or any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Investor, or for whom the Investor is acting as agent or nominee in connection with the acquisition of the Units, is a Restricted Person.

(M) The Investor is not a “Covered Person” within the meaning of the Guidance on Enhanced Scrutiny for Transactions that May Involve the Proceeds of Foreign Official Corruption, issued by the Department of the Treasury, et al., January, 2001, i.e., a senior foreign political figure, or an immediate family member or close associate of a senior foreign political figure. If the Investor is a pooled investment vehicle, and to the extent that it is not prohibited by law or contract from doing so, Investor agrees to inform the Fund and the Investment Adviser, prior to its acquisition of Units, if it is aware of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to lead it to believe that any investors in the Investor, or any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, the Investor, or for whom the Investor is acting as agent or nominee in connection with the acquisition of Units, is a Covered Person.

(N) The Investor agrees to provide any information deemed necessary by the Fund or the Investment Adviser, each acting in its sole discretion, to comply with its anti-money laundering responsibilities and policies to the extent required by law, or as may be required by this Subscription Agreement, and subject to appropriate confidentiality agreements.

(O) The Investor authorizes and permits each of the Fund and the Investment Adviser, using it’s reasonable business judgment, to report information about the Investor to appropriate authorities, and the Investor agrees not to hold them liable for any loss or injury that may occur as the result of providing such information. In addition, if the Investor is a pooled investment vehicle, the Investor authorizes and permits each of the Fund and the Investment Adviser, using each’s reasonable business judgment, to report information about any investors in the Investor, or about any persons controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, the Investor, or for whom the Investor is acting as agent or nominee in connection with the acquisition of a Unit, and the Investor agrees not to hold the Fund or the Investment Adviser liable for any loss or injury that may occur as the result of providing such information.

(P) The Investor agrees to promptly notify the Fund should the Investor become aware of any change in the information in the representations set forth above.

(Q) The Investor agrees that, notwithstanding any other statement to the contrary in any agreement into which the Investor has entered which relates to the Fund, if the Fund or the Investment Adviser determines that the Investor has appeared on a list of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations compiled by any U.S. or foreign governmental agency, or that any information provided by the Investor was not, at the time it was given, or, is no longer, materially true or accurate, each of the Fund and the Investment Adviser, without limiting any other rights available to them under the Subscription Agreement or the Fund Agreement, will be authorized to take any action necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law, including, but not limited to, “freezing the account,” removing the Investor from the Fund and/or notifying federal authorities.

Exhibit A

Tax Exempt and/or Tax Deferred Investors must read and sign below.

The Investor certifies that it has read and understood the “Certain Tax Considerations” section of the Private Placement Memorandum, including the discussion related to the possibility of a tax-exempt entity realizing unrelated business taxable income if the Investor is a tax-exempt entity or a “pass-through” entity and has tax-exempt entities among its investors. It is anticipated that the Fund may incur indebtedness to finance investments and some or all of such indebtedness may constitute acquisition indebtedness for purposes of the unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”) rules. In addition, to the extent that entities in which the underlying funds invest are pass-through entities, income derived from their conduct of trades and businesses will generally constitute UBTI for tax-exempt investors. Accordingly, tax-exempt investors should anticipate that an investment in the Fund may result in UBTI for them. The Investor certifies that it has consulted with its tax adviser, if necessary, with respect to the tax consequences of becoming a limited partner of the Fund.
