Exhibit 2(k)(viii)
FORM OF AMENDMENT TO ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
This Amendment (the "Amendment") to the Administration Agreement, dated
April 1, 2003 (the "Administration Agreement"), by and between BACAP Alternative
Multi-Strategy Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Fund"), and
Banc of America Investment Advisors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Administrator"), assignee of BACAP Distributors, LLC (now known as Columbia
Management Distributors, Inc.), is entered into on this 1st day of ________,
______.
WHEREAS, the Fund has appointed the Administrator to provide
administrative and accounting services to the Fund, and the Administrator has
agreed to provide such service, in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Administration Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Fund and the Administrator wish to amend the
Administration Agreement to reduce the annual rate of compensation payable to
the Administrator thereunder and to reflect that the Administrator is not
signing off on the investors' Schedule K-1s or the Fund's Form 1065.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants
hereinafter contained, the Fund and the Administrator hereby agree as follows:
1. AMENDMENT TO SCHEDULE A. The last bullet point of paragraph 9 under
"Administrative Services" in Schedule A to the Administration Agreement,
which relates to the Administrator's signing off on the Schedule K-1s and
Form 1065 for a fee of $15,000, is hereby deleted.
2. RESTATEMENT OF SCHEDULE B; DIRECT PAYMENT TO SUB-ADMINISTRATOR. Schedule B
to the Administration Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its
entirety with Attachment 1 hereto. In addition, notwithstanding the
provisions of Article 4 of the Administration Agreement, upon the request
of the Administrator, the Fund will pay fees payable to the Administrator
hereunder directly to SEI Investment Global Funds Services (the
"Sub-Administrator").
3. CONSENT RIGHT TO CERTAIN AMENDMENTS TO THE SUB-ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT.
The Administrator agrees that the Sub-Administration Agreement, dated April
1, 2003 (as amended from time to time, the "Sub-Administration Agreement"),
by and among the Administrator, the Fund and the Sub-Administrator, may not
be amended to increase the fees payable thereunder without the prior
consent of the Fund. The Fund and Administrator acknowledge that reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable under the Sub-Administration Agreement
are not "fees" for the purpose of this provision.
4. MISCELLANEOUS. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings set forth in the Administration Agreement. As modified herein,
the Administration Agreement is confirmed and shall remain in full force
and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed and delivered this
Amendment as of the day and year first above written.

The Fund agrees to reimburse the Administrator for any reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses that the Administrator has incurred as a result of
the Administrator having reimbursed the Sub-Administrator for the
Sub-Administrator's out-of-pocket expenses that are reimbursable under the
Sub-Administration Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Fund's
obligations to reimburse (i) the Administrator under other provisions of
the Administration Agreement and (ii) the Sub-Administrator under
provisions of the Sub-Administration Agreement continue in full force and
effect and are not affected by the provisions of this Schedule B. The Fund
shall not be obligated hereunder to reimburse any duplicative expenses.
In addition, in the event that the Sub-Administrator is engaged to prepare
state tax returns, the Fund will pay the Sub-Administrator a state tax
return preparation fee of $2,000 per state or reimburse the Administrator
if the Administrator pays the Sub-Administrator for such service. If the
Fund engages the Sub-Administrator to provide any work for which a separate
fee is charged, including without limitation work related to tax form
preparation, the Fund will reimburse the Administrator if the Administrator
pays the fees to the Sub-Administrator. The fees described in this
paragraph shall be approved or ratified by the Fund's Board of Managers.
