documentation about accounts the Sub-Adviser manages, if appropriate, which are
relevant to the Master Fund and that have investment objectives, policies, and

managing the Master Fund that may be reasonably necessary, under applicable
laws, to allow the Master Fund or its agent to present information concerning
the Sub-Adviser’s prior performance in any Prospectus, SAI or Offering
Memorandum (as hereinafter defined) and any permissible reports and materials
prepared by the Master Fund, any feeder fund that invests in the Master Fund (a
“Feeder Fund”) or their respective agents; and
(viii) cooperate
with and provide reasonable assistance to the Adviser, the Master Fund’s
administrator, the Master Fund’s custodian and foreign custodians, the Master
Fund’s transfer agent and pricing agents and all other agents and
representatives of the Master Fund and the Adviser; keep all such persons fully
informed as to such matters as they may reasonably deem necessary to the
performance of their obligations to the Master Fund and the Adviser; provide
prompt responses to reasonable requests made by such persons; and maintain any
appropriate interfaces with each such person so as to promote the efficient
exchange of information.
C. In
furnishing services hereunder, the Sub-Adviser shall be subject to, and shall
perform in accordance with, the following: (i) the Master Fund’s and
each Feeder Fund’s operating agreement and/or other governing instruments, as
the same may be hereafter modified and/or amended from time to time (“Governing
Documents”); (ii) the currently effective registration statement of the Master
Fund as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and delivered
to the Sub-Adviser; (iii) the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
of any Feeder Fund that is registered as an investment company with the SEC and
delivered to the Sub-Adviser, as the same may be hereafter modified, amended
and/or supplemented (“Prospectus and SAI”); (iv) the confidential offering
memorandum of any Feeder Fund that is not registered as an investment company
with the SEC and delivered to the Sub-Adviser, as the same may be hereafter
modified, amended and/or supplemented (“Offering Memorandum”); (v) the

other federal and state laws or regulations applicable to the Master Fund and
the Feeder Funds; (v) the Master Fund’s Compliance Manual and other policies and
procedures adopted from time to time by the Board of Managers of the Master
Fund; and (vi) the written instructions of the Adviser. Prior to the
commencement of the Sub-Adviser’s services hereunder, the Adviser shall provide
the Sub-Adviser with current copies of any Governing Documents, Prospectus and
SAI, Offering Memorandum, Compliance Manual and other relevant policies and
procedures that are adopted by the Board of Managers of the Master
Fund. The Adviser undertakes to provide the Sub-Adviser with copies
or other written notice of any amendments, modifications or supplements to any
such above-mentioned document.
D. The
Sub-Adviser, at its expense, will furnish: (i) all necessary
facilities (including office space, furnishings, and equipment) and personnel,
including salaries, expenses and fees of any personnel required for the
Sub-Adviser to faithfully perform its duties under this Agreement; and (ii)
administrative facilities, including bookkeeping, and all equipment necessary
for the efficient conduct of the Sub-Adviser’s duties under this
Agreement.
E. On
occasions when the Sub-Adviser deems the purchase of a security to be in the
best interest of the Master Fund as well as other clients of the Sub-Adviser,
allocation of the securities so purchased, as well as the expenses incurred in
the transaction, will be made by the Sub-Adviser in the manner which the
Sub-Adviser considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary
obligations to the Master Fund and to its other clients over
time. The Adviser agrees that the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates may
give advice and take action in the performance of their duties with respect to
any of their other clients that may differ from advice given, or the timing or
nature of actions taken, with respect to the Master Fund. The Adviser
also acknowledges that the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates are fiduciaries to
other entities, some of which have the same or similar investment objectives
(and will hold the same or similar investments) as the Master Fund, and that the
Sub-Adviser will carry out its duties hereunder together with its duties under
such relationships. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
confer upon the Sub-Adviser any obligation to purchase or to recommend for
purchase for the Master Fund any investment that the Sub-Adviser, its
affiliates, officers or employees may purchase or sell for its or their own
account or for the account of any client, if in the sole and absolute discretion
of the Sub-Adviser it is for any reason impractical or undesirable to take such
action or make such recommendation for the Master Fund.
F. The
Sub-Adviser will maintain all accounts, books and records with respect to the
Master Fund as are required of an investment adviser of a registered investment
company pursuant to the Investment Company Act and Advisers Act and the rules
thereunder.
4. COMPENSATION
OF THE SUB-ADVISER
The Adviser will pay the Sub-Adviser a
quarterly advisory fee with respect to the Master Fund equal to 0.625% on an
annualized basis of the Net Asset Value of the Master Fund. However,
during the offering period, the compensation shall be paid to the Sub-Adviser at
the end of the month at a rate equal to 0.625% on an annualized basis of the Net
Asset Value of the Master Fund. Except as may otherwise be prohibited by law or
regulation (including, without limitation, any then current SEC staff
interpretation), the Sub-Adviser may, in its discretion and from time to time,
waive all or any portion of its advisory fee. In accordance with the
terms of the Governing Documents of each Feeder Fund, the Sub-Adviser is also
entitled to receive an incentive allocation or fee equal to 5% of the net
profits of that Feeder Fund over a hurdle rate, calculated in accordance with
the applicable Governing Documents.
5. LIABILITY

as may otherwise be provided by the Investment Company Act or any other federal
securities law, neither the Sub-Adviser nor any of its officers, directors,
partners, members or employees (its “Affiliates”) shall be liable for any

expenses) incurred or suffered by the Adviser or the Master Fund as a result of
any error of judgment or mistake of law by the Sub-Adviser or its Affiliates
with respect to the Master Fund, except that nothing in this Agreement shall
operate or purport to operate in any way to exculpate, waive or limit the

become subject under the 1933 Act, the Investment Company Act, the Advisers Act,
or under any other statute, at common law or otherwise arising out of or based
on (i) any willful misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard or gross negligence
of the Sub-Adviser in the performance of any of its duties or obligations
hereunder or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Prospectus, SAI, Offering Memorandum, proxy materials, reports, advertisements,
sales literature, or other materials pertaining to the Master Fund or a Feeder
Fund or the omission to state therein a material fact known to the Sub-Adviser
which was required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon
written information furnished to the Adviser or the Master Fund by the
Sub-Adviser Indemnitees (as defined below) for use therein.

as may otherwise be provided by the Investment Company Act or any other federal
securities law, the Adviser, the Master Fund and their respective Affiliates

statute, at common law or otherwise arising out of or based on (i) any willful
misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard or gross negligence of the Adviser in
the performance of any of its duties or obligations hereunder or (ii) any untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, SAI, Offering
Memorandum, proxy materials, reports, advertisements, sales literature, or other
materials pertaining to the Master Fund or a Feeder Fund or the omission to
state therein a material fact known to the Adviser that was required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
