RE: ISSUANCE
OF UNITS
Dear
Sirs:
The offer
and sale of limited liability company units (the “Units”) in Hatteras Global
Private Equity Partners, 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.

|
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.

The
Investor hereby agrees as follows:
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.
III. GENERAL

agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, the Board, the Investment
Adviser, the Placement Agent, the Administrator and each other person, if any,
who controls or is controlled by any thereof, within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all expenses
whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against
any litigation commenced or threatened or any claim whatsoever) arising out of
or based upon (i) any false representation or warranty or breach or failure by
the Investor to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Investor in
this Subscription Agreement or in any other document furnished by the Investor
to any of the foregoing in connection with this transaction or (ii) any action
for securities law violations instituted by the Investor which is finally
resolved by judgment against the Investor.
(B) The Investor, as
principal, hereby appoints the Fund as its true and lawful representative and
attorney in fact, in its name, place and stead to make, execute, sign,
acknowledge, swear to and file: (i) any limited liability company certificate,
business certificate, fictitious name certificate, amendment thereto, or other
instrument or document of any kind necessary or desirable to accomplish the
business, purpose and objectives of the Fund, or required by any applicable
Federal, state, or local or foreign law; (ii) the Fund Agreement and any
amendment duly approved as provided therein; and (iii) any and all instruments,
certificates and other documents which may be deemed necessary or desirable to

however, that this power of attorney will terminate upon the substitution of
another Member for all of the Investor’s investment in the Fund or upon the
withdrawal of the Investor from the Fund pursuant to any periodic tender or
otherwise.
(C) If any provision
of this Subscription Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable
law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may
conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such applicable
law. Any provision hereof which may be held invalid or unenforceable
under any applicable law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any

officers and agents and each other person, if any, who controls or is controlled
by any thereof, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act for any
and all costs, fees and expenses (including legal fees and disbursements) in
connection with any damages resulting from the Investor’s or the Beneficial
Owner’s misrepresentation or misstatement contained herein, or the assertion of
the Investor’s lack of proper authorization from the Beneficial Owner of the
Units subscribed for hereby to enter into this Subscription Agreement or perform
the obligations hereof.
V. ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION AND SUBSEQUENT CHANGES IN THE FOREGOING REPRESENTATIONS
The Fund
may request from the Investor such additional information as it may deem
necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Units, and
may request from time to time such information as it may deem necessary to

Fund to determine the Fund’s compliance with applicable regulatory requirements
or tax status, and the Investor shall provide such information as may reasonably
be requested.
Each
person acquiring the Units must satisfy the criteria set forth herein both at
the time of subscription and at all times thereafter until such person ceases to
be a member of the Fund. Accordingly, the Investor agrees to notify
the Fund promptly if there is any change with respect to any of the foregoing
information or representations and to provide the Fund with such further
information as the Fund may reasonably require. In addition, the
Investor agrees that if in the future the Investor makes an additional capital
contribution to the Fund, the Investor shall be deemed to have reaffirmed as of
such date each and every representation made by the Investor in this
Subscription Agreement, except to the extent modified in writing by the Investor
and consented to by the Board. Any other information which the
Investor has heretofore furnished and herewith furnishes to the Fund with
respect to the Investor’s financial position and business experience is correct
and complete as of the date of this Subscription Agreement, and if there should
be any material change in such information prior to its admission to the Fund as
a member, the Investor will immediately furnish such revised or corrected
information to the Fund.
No
representations or warranties except as contained in the Private Placement
Memorandum have been made to the Investor by the Fund, the Board, the
Administrator, the Placement Agent, the Investment Adviser or any of their
respective officers, employees, agents or affiliates. This
Subscription Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the state of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law
rules.

claim for money damages between the parties in connection with this Subscription
Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration on an expedited basis in the
City of Raleigh and County of Wake, State of North Carolina in accordance with
the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association and any
judgment may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof.
All
pronouns contained herein and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to
the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the
parties hereto may require.
This
Subscription Agreement may be executed through the use of separate signature
pages or in any number of counterparts, and each of such counterparts shall, for

notwithstanding that all parties are not signatories to the same
counterpart.

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.
