AGREEMENT made as of the 1st day of November, 2005 by and between Hatteras
Multi-Strategy TEI Institutional Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Fund”), and
Hatteras Investment Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability corporation (“Hatteras”), and
restated as of July 1, 2008:
W I T N
E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Fund has registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as
a non-diversified, closed-end, management investment company; and
WHEREAS, in consideration for investor services, the Fund pays Hatteras an investor servicing
fee at the annual rate of 0.10% of the net asset value of the limited partnership interests
beneficially owned by customers of Hatteras or any service provider who has entered into a service
provider agreement with Hatteras;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:
1. Hatteras agrees to waive the investor servicing fee payable to it or to reimburse the
ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, as set out in the Fund’s Amended and Restated Agreement of
Limited Partnership dated March 31, 2005, (excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, other
transaction-related expenses, any extraordinary expenses of the Fund, any Acquired Fund Fees and
Expenses (as defined in SEC Form N-2), as well as any performance allocation payable by the Fund or
Hatteras Master Fund, L.P.) (“Operating Expenses”) that exceed 1.75% on an annualized basis of the
Fund’s net assets as of the end of each month (the “Expense Limitation”).
2. The
current term of this Agreement will end on July 31, 2010, and will automatically renew
for one-year terms. This Agreement will remain in effect until terminated by Hatteras or by the
Fund. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the other
party.
3. The Fund agrees to carry forward, for a period not to exceed three (3) years from the date
on which a waiver or reimbursement is made by Hatteras, any Operating Expenses in excess of the
Expense Limitation that are paid or assumed by Hatteras under this Agreement (“Excess Operating
Expenses”) and to repay Hatteras in the amount of such Excess Operating Expenses as set out in this
Agreement. Such repayment will be made as promptly as possible, but only to the extent it does not
cause the Operating Expenses for any year to exceed the Expense Limitation. If this Agreement is
terminated by the Fund, the Fund agrees to repay to Hatteras in accordance with this Agreement any
Excess Operating Expenses not previously repaid and, subject to the 1940 Act, such repayment will
be made to Hatteras not later than thirty (30) days after the termination of this Agreement and
without regard to the Expense Limitation. If this Agreement is terminated by Hatteras, the Fund
agrees to repay to Hatteras in accordance with this Agreement any Excess Operating Expenses not
previously repaid and, subject to the 1940 Act, such repayment will be made to Hatteras not later
than thirty (30) days after the
termination of this Agreement, so long as the Fund is able to
effect such reimbursement and remain in compliance with the Expense Limitation as if such Expense
Limitation was still in effect.
4. This Agreement will be construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware and
the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act. To the extent the applicable law of the State of
Delaware, or any of the provisions in this Agreement, conflict with the applicable provisions of
the 1940 Act, the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act will control.
5. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties to this Agreement with
respect to the matters described in this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties to this Agreement have executed this Agreement as of the date
first written above.
