b. This Subscription Agreement consists of all Sections and Appendices included herewith.

2. Capital Commitment. You agree to purchase Interests for an aggregate purchase price equal to the portion of your requested capital commitment to the Fund that is accepted by the Fund (“Commitment”) under the terms and conditions set forth herein. You agree to purchase Interests (up to the amount of your Undrawn Commitment, as defined below) each time the Fund delivers a drawdown notice, which will be delivered (including by email) in respect of such Commitment at least 10 calendar days prior to the required funding date (“a Funding Deadline”) (except that an initial funding may be required immediately upon the Initial Closing Date (as defined below)). New Interests will be issued on each Drawdown Date in respect of such drawdown. A “Drawdown Date” is each date on which an Interestholder purchases Interests from the Fund, and the Fund issues Interests to an Interestholder.

a. The first date on which the Fund accepts capital commitments to purchase Interests, other than from the Initial Interestholder, is referred to as the “Initial Closing Date.” The first date on which

Interests are issued (other than to the Initial Interestholder) is referred to herein as the “Initial Issuance Date.”

b. Interests will initially be issued at a price per Interest of $20.00. Interests issued following the Initial Issuance Date will generally be issued at a per Interest price equal to the then-current net asset-value (“NAV”) per Interest. For purposes of this calculation, the NAV per Interest may be based on the NAV per Interest calculated at the end of the most recent calendar quarter prior to the date of the applicable drawdown notice or issuance date or as otherwise determined by the Board of Managers in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policy, subject to the limitations of Section 23 under the Investment Company Act (which generally prohibits the Fund from issuing Interests at a price below the then-current NAV, subject to certain exceptions).

c. The Fund may hold, and expects to hold, a number of closings subsequent to the Initial Closing Date (each date on which a subsequent closing is held, a “Subsequent Closing Date”).

d. If your Commitment is accepted on any Subsequent Closing Date, you shall be required to purchase from us, on no less than 10 calendar days’ prior notice, a number of Interests with an aggregate purchase price necessary to ensure that, upon payment of the aggregate purchase price for such Interests, your contributed capital percentage will be equal to that of each prior Interestholder (other than an affiliate of GS, a Defaulting Interestholder or an Interestholder whose Commitment was accepted on a Subsequent Closing Date and that has not yet made such a purchase).

e. At each Drawdown Date following any Subsequent Closing Date, all investors, including investors whose Commitments were accepted on such Subsequent Closing Date, shall purchase Interests in accordance with the standard provisions for Drawdown Dates described below.

3. Drawdown Dates. A portion of an Interestholder’s total Commitment may be due immediately upon the closing of the Interestholder’s initial investment in the Fund, and the Fund may require an Interestholder to fund the Interestholder’s Undrawn Commitment over time as the Fund makes investments and/or, as necessary, to fund other obligations of the Fund. Commitments may be drawn down at any time, by the Fund making a capital call generally upon at least 10 calendar days’ written notice prior to the required funding date (the “Funding Deadline”) (including by email) (except that an initial funding may be required immediately upon the Initial

Closing Date) to either the Interestholder or the Interestholder’s designee.

a. “Undrawn Commitment” shall mean, with respect to an Interestholder, the amount of such Interestholder’s Commitment as of any date reduced by the aggregate amount of capital contributions made by that Interestholder at all previous drawdown dates and amounts reinvested by the Fund (excluding recyclable amounts, as described in the Prospectus), and increased by any distributions made by the Fund to such Interestholder that represent recyclable amounts or recallable amounts (as described in the Prospectus).

b. You waive any counterclaim to, and any right to any setoff or reduction of, your obligation to make capital calls to the Fund based on any claim that you have against any person (without prejudice to your right to assert such claim in a separate action).

c. You shall be deemed to have reaffirmed, as of the date on which you fund any future capital call, each and every representation and warranty made, and all information provided, by you in this Subscription Agreement or that is incorporated by reference.

4. Default. If, following the delivery of a Drawdown Notice, you fail to fund a required capital commitment by the applicable Funding Deadline, in part or in full, and such failure remains uncured for a period of ten (10) calendar days following the applicable Funding Deadline (such 10^th day, the “Last Funding Date”) you shall be delinquent in your obligations to the Fund. Any payments made by you after the applicable Last Funding Date (or any payments made prior to the Last Funding Date in amounts less than your required capital commitment) will not be accepted by the Fund, and you will be required to fund such capital commitment together with any new required capital commitment, in respect of the next applicable Funding Deadline. You shall be deemed to be delinquent as to a Funding Deadline if you fail to fund the required capital commitment for that Funding Deadline, or if you have any outstanding obligations in respect of a prior Funding Deadline which remain unsatisfied as of such Last Funding Date. If you are delinquent upon three occasions at any point (such occasions do not have to be consecutive), you will be in default of your obligations to the Fund and will be deemed a “Defaulting Interestholder,” and the following remedies shall be imposed: (a) you will be prohibited from purchasing additional Interests on any future Drawdown Date, (b) you will forfeit 25% of your Interests (and such forfeited Interests will be cancelled); and (c) the Fund may pursue any other remedies available to the Fund, subject to applicable law. In addition, the Fund may, in the Fund’s sole discretion, (i) charge any Defaulting Interestholder with the expenses

Unless otherwise communicated to you by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, including potentially through the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, your subscription will be deemed accepted by the Fund upon the earlier of the following: (a) the execution of a counterpart signature page to this Subscription Agreement by or on behalf of the Fund (including by Xxxxxxx Sachs) and (b) two business days prior to the time Interests are first issued to you. You acknowledge and agree that if your subscription to purchase such Interests is accepted in whole or in part, (a) you will, with no further action on your part, become an Interestholder, (b) you agree with the Manager, with the other Interestholders of the Fund and with other subscribers admitted to the Fund either at or after the date of your admission that, with effect from such admission, you and such persons will be bound by and will comply with the provisions, terms and obligations of an investment in the Fund as described in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and the Fund Agreement with the same effect as if you were a signatory to those documents, and (c) you will be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to purchase Interests, at the times and as contemplated by the Fund Agreement and the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, in a total amount equal to the amount of the accepted portion of the “Total Commitment” listed in this Subscription Agreement.

a. Acknowledgement of Offering Information. You have read and fully understand the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Fund Agreement and this Subscription Agreement, including without limitation the default provisions of the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and this

- 9 -


III. Subscription Agreement Terms and Conditions

Subscription Agreement. You have received adequate information concerning all matters which you consider material to a decision to purchase the Interests. You have been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, GS and the Fund, concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and other matters pertaining to your investment in the Interests, and you have been given the opportunity to obtain such additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information contained in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. You understand that you may be subject to additional or different fees than those described in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. You have not been furnished with any offering literature or prospectus except the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information or except as mentioned in this paragraph. You understand that this Subscription Agreement does not constitute an offer by the Fund or GS to sell an Interest to you. No representations or agreements other than those set forth in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information have been made to you in respect thereto. You represent and warrant that you are capable of evaluating investment risks independently, including with regard to transactions and investment strategies involving the Interests, and have exercised independent judgment (and have relied solely upon the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the advice of your tax, legal or other advisers and independent investigations made by you) in purchasing the Interests. You are not relying on GS, the Manager, the Fund, any placement agent or the references to any legal opinion in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information with respect to individual, partnership or corporate tax and other economic considerations involved in this investment. You understand that counsel to the Fund may also serve as counsel to GS and its affiliates. You understand that in connection with the offering of Interests and subsequent advice to the Fund (including transactions or litigation involving the Fund), counsel to the Fund will not be representing investors in the Fund, including you, and no independent counsel has been retained by the Fund to represent the investors in the Fund.

b. Restrictions on Holding of Interests. The Interests subscribed for will be acquired by you solely for your account as principal, solely for investment, and are not being purchased for subdivision, resale or distribution, or for the direct or indirect account or benefit of any other person or entity. You have no existing or contemplated agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, exchange, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Interests. You will not sell, exchange, transfer,

assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Interests or any portion thereof without (1) compliance with the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, including payment of all expenses, including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, incurred by the Fund in connection with the review of such sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation, even if such sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation is not approved and (2) the prior written consent of the Fund.

c. Financial Sophistication; Ability to Bear Risk. You have such knowledge and experience in financial and investment matters, and in illiquid investments in particular, and in other business matters that you are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Interests without the assistance of a Purchaser Representative (as such term is defined in the Securities Act). Your financial condition is such that you have no need for liquidity with respect to your investment in the Interests and no need to dispose of the Interests to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness. Your overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is proportionate to your net worth and will not become excessive as a result of an investment in the Fund. You have numerous investment opportunities available to you, you are not required or obligated in any way to make an investment in the Interests, and you have chosen to invest in the Interests over or in addition to such other investment opportunities. You can bear a complete loss of your investment in the Fund, and such a loss would not materially adversely affect your capital needs.

d. Nature of Interests. You acknowledge, understand and agree that: (1) the Interests are speculative investments which involve a high degree of risk of loss; (2) no government agency has passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the information in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information or made any determination as to the fairness of the investment, or any recommendation or endorsement of the investment; (3) you are not dependent upon a current cash return with respect to your investment in the Fund; (4) transfer of the Interests is subject to substantial restrictions; (5) you may not enter into any hedging arrangement with respect to the Interests or a swap, structured note or other derivative instrument, the return from which is based in whole or in part on the return of the Fund, with any third party, in each case without the Fund’s prior written consent and

without compliance with all applicable law, including the Securities Act; (6) the Fund will have significant transaction and other costs, regardless of whether it realizes profits; (7) the amount of your subscription will be contributed to the Fund less applicable fees; (8) there are risks and potential conflicts of interest involved in the structure and operation of the Fund as described in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information; and (9) past results of the Fund or its investment manager are not indicative of future results or profits, and no representations to the contrary have been made.

e. Transactions with GS.

(i) You understand and agree that the Manager, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, may allow the Fund and, if applicable, any investment funds or vehicles in which the Fund invests, to enter into, consent to and perform transactions in which affiliates of the Manager, including GS, act as principal or agent. Such transactions may include, but are not limited to, (1) any cross transaction in which the Manager causes the Fund or any investment fund or vehicle in which the Fund invests to buy a security from, or sell a security to another client of the Manager or its affiliates and any agency cross transaction in which GS acts as a broker for both the Fund or such underlying fund or vehicle and a brokerage account on the other side of the transaction in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and in which GS may receive compensation, commissions, or other payments from either or both parties and, with respect to cross transactions and agency cross transactions, GS may have a potentially conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities among such parties; (2) any principal transaction in which the Fund or any investment fund or vehicle in which the Fund invests purchases property (including, without limitation, securities) from or sells property (including, without limitation, securities) to GS; (3) any principal transaction in which GS acts as counterparty with or to the Fund or any investment fund or vehicle in which the Fund invests in respect of currency, hedging or derivative financial instruments (including but not limited to swaps and forwards of all types); or (4) any sale of securities for the account of the Fund or any investment fund or vehicle in which the Fund invests by GS, including where such securities are bunched or aggregated with orders for other accounts of GS and such aggregation prevents achievement of the same price or execution on the entire lot, which may be disadvantageous to the Fund or such underlying fund or vehicle. You understand that the foregoing authorization and consent to principal transactions, cross

- 10 -


III. Subscription Agreement Terms and Conditions

transactions and agency cross transactions may be revoked by you in the manner set forth in the Fund Agreement or Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, or in such other manner as the Fund or the Manager notifies you from time to time.

(ii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, in respect of matters described in the next sentence in which the Fund may engage and which may require approval on behalf of the Fund or with respect to which the Manager determines to seek approval, you hereby authorize the Fund and/or the Manager without limitation, to consider and approve or disapprove such transactions and other matters on behalf of the Fund and its investors.

(iii) You acknowledge and agree that the Manager treats the Fund as its client for all purposes permitted under the Investment Advisers Act, the Commodity Exchange Act and other applicable laws and regulations to the extent permitted thereunder. This means that required disclosures by the investment manager (e.g., those in its Form ADV) are made to the Fund, not to the Interestholders, and that any necessary consents (e.g., to transactions in which the investment manager’s affiliates act as principal or as a broker) may be given by the Manager on behalf of the Fund and its Interestholders.

(iv) You acknowledge that you have read and understand the “Potential Conflicts of Interest” disclosure set forth in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

f. Tax Withholding. If you are an individual who is treated as a resident of the United States for US federal income tax purposes, but you are not a US citizen, you agree to provide prior written notice of the

Any such written instrument, communication or agreement entered into electronically will be deemed to be “in writing” and to have been “signed” by you with the same effect as a manual signature (and any electronic record of such agreements entered into online will be deemed to be “in writing”).

d. The provisions of this Subscription Agreement are severable. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

Until GS has received and had a reasonable time to act on any notice of a change, GS may continue to send Fund Communications to your previous electronic address and any such Fund Communications will be deemed to have been delivered to you, whether or not you have actually received them.

If an e-mail notification sent to you at your electronic address of record is returned as

undeliverable or GS otherwise receives evidence of an invalid e-mail address through a return e-mail, GS will attempt to contact you to obtain a valid e-mail address. In the interim, Fund Communications (or notices of such communications) may be delivered to your physical address of record in accordance with GS’s procedures.

You agree, however, that if you revoke or suspend your consent or request paper copies of Fund Communications, you may be charged a reasonable service charge (to the extent permitted by applicable law) for the delivery

of paper copies of any communications that

would otherwise be delivered to you electronically. You agree, however, that neither your revocation of consent, your request for paper copies, nor our delivery of paper copies will imply that the previous electronic delivery of Fund Communications did not constitute good and effective delivery.

f. You acknowledge that the disclosures and information, and subject to the terms of the Fund Agreement and this Subscription Agreement, the terms and conditions, contained in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Fund Agreement and this Subscription Agreement may be amended or otherwise updated or supplemented (collectively, “Fund Document Updates”) from time to time as determined by the Manager in its sole discretion.

18. Exclusive Jurisdiction, Applicable Law, and Waiver of Right to Jury Trial.

a. Subject to and without limiting the Binding Arbitration provisions of paragraph 19 below, you agree that any action, suit, or proceeding (including counterclaims) (each an “Action”) brought by you arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement, the Fund Agreement, the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and/or your purchase, ownership or disposition of Interests must be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts in New Castle County, Delaware (the “Delaware Courts”), and you further consent and agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts in any Action brought against you arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement, the Fund Agreement, the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and/or your purchase, ownership or disposition of Interests. Subject to the Binding Arbitration provisions

of paragraph 19 below, (1) you agree that all claims in respect of any Action may be heard and determined in any Delaware Court, (2) you agree not to bring any Action in any other court, and (3) you agree that nothing in this Subscription Agreement or otherwise shall affect or limit any right that the Fund or the Manager may otherwise have to bring any Action against you in the courts of any jurisdiction. You agree that a final judgment in any Action will be conclusive and may be enforced by action on the judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction or in any other manner provided at law or in equity.

b. You appoint the Manager as your agent to receive on your behalf service of copies of the summons, complaint or initiating documents and any other process that might be served in any Action arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement, the Fund Agreement, the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and your purchase, ownership or disposition of Interests. In addition, you agree that service of any initiating papers can be made upon you by mail.

c. This Subscription Agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of laws principles, and shall be deemed to be performed entirely within the State of Delaware.

d. Each of the parties hereto waives all right to trial by jury in any Action arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement, the Fund Agreement, the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and/or your purchase, ownership or disposition of Interests.

19. Binding Arbitration.

a. This Subscription Agreement contains a pre-dispute arbitration clause. By signing an arbitration agreement the parties agree as follows:

(1) All parties to this Subscription Agreement are giving up the right to xxx each other in court, including the right to a trial by jury, except as provided by the rules of the arbitration forum in which a claim is filed.

(2) Arbitration awards are generally final and binding; a party’s ability to have a court reverse or modify an arbitration award is very limited.

(3) The ability of the parties to obtain documents, witness statements and other discovery is generally more limited in arbitration than in court proceedings.

(4) The arbitrators do not have to explain the reason(s) for their award unless, in an eligible case, a joint request for an explained decision has been submitted by all parties to the panel at least 20 days prior to the first scheduled hearing date.

(5) The panel of arbitrators may include a minority of arbitrators who were or are affiliated with the securities industry.

(6) The rules of some arbitration forums may impose time limits for bringing a claim in arbitration. In some cases, a claim that is ineligible for arbitration may be brought in court.

(7) The rules of the arbitration forum in which the claim is filed, and any amendments thereto, shall be incorporated into this Subscription Agreement.

b. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement or the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and except for any claim or action which the Manager, the Fund, or GS may elect (in their sole discretion) to commence as provided for in this Subscription Agreement, the Fund Agreement and/or the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information to determine or enforce any of its rights or your obligations under this Subscription Agreement, the Fund Agreement or the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, you agree that all disputes arising out of or relating to (1) this Subscription Agreement, (2) your purchase, ownership or disposition of any Interests, or (3) your rights or obligations under the Fund Agreement and the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information shall be resolved in accordance with the Binding Arbitration provisions of this paragraph 19.

c. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the rules then in effect of FINRA (as amended, supplemented and interpreted from time to time) or, if both GS and you agree that it should be so arbitrated, the American Arbitration Association. Any dispute or claim involving a Dollar amount of $50,000 or less will be before one arbitrator, and all other disputes and claims will be before a panel of at least three arbitrators. The award of the arbitrator or a majority of the arbitrators, as the case may be, will

- 17 -


III. Subscription Agreement Terms and Conditions

be final, and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the provisions in this paragraph 19 shall limit the ability of a party to file any claim in court permitted to be filed in court under the rules then in effect of FINRA, or if both GS and you agree that it should be so arbitrated, the American Arbitration Association.

d. No person shall bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration, nor seek to enforce any pre-dispute arbitration agreement against the other party who has initiated in court a putative class action or who is a member of a putative class who has not opted out of the class with respect to any claims encompassed by the putative class action until: (1) the class certification is denied, (2) the class is decertified or (3) the other party is excluded from the class by the court. Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to arbitrate shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under this Subscription Agreement except if stated herein. In the event that you bring any claim as part of a class action, then, upon any determination that such action shall not be permitted to proceed as a class action, such action shall be dismissed and you shall pursue such claim exclusively through arbitration in accordance with the Binding Arbitration provisions of this paragraph 19.

20. Payment Obligations.

a. You agree that if you should fail to fulfill any payment obligation due to the Fund or any other person hereunder, including, without limitation, any subscription or indemnification payment or any payment due to the Fund with respect to an adjustment in the value of your Interests, (a) a portion of your then remaining interest in the Fund (including your interest in future distributions of the Fund) may be irrevocably forfeited, and (b) the Fund may take any other action authorized by the Fund Agreement or the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information with respect to the unfulfilled payment obligation.

b. All payments contemplated under this Subscription Agreement, the Fund Agreement, the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and your ownership of Interests (including all indemnification obligations) must be satisfied by payment in the currency denomination of the Interests as set forth in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, unless otherwise expressly consented to in writing by the Fund. Your obligation to pay such currency to the Fund

shall not be satisfied by payment in any other currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount actually received by the Fund upon conversion of amounts received in any other currency to the currency set forth in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information falls short of the amount in the Fund’s currency originally due to the Fund (a “Shortfall Amount”). You agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to pay to the Fund on demand any Shortfall Amount.

c. You agree that unless you provide the Fund or the administrator of the Fund (as applicable) with an original written notice to the contrary, redemption proceeds from and other payments in respect of your Interests will be sent to the Financial Advisor through which you purchased Interests.

d. You acknowledge and agree that payments contemplated under this Subscription Agreement, the Fund Agreement or the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information may be effected through custody accounts that are held in the name of the Fund or its relevant service provider and operated by third parties, and in connection therewith, you will be subject to the credit, legal and operations risks of such third parties.

21. Financial Advisor Arrangements. The Fund has entered into an agreement (the “Intermediary Agreement”) with the Financial Advisor identified in Section I of this Subscription Agreement whereby the Financial Advisor has been authorized to act as an intermediary with respect to the purchase of Interests by clients of the Financial Advisor (“Introduced Clients”).

In connection with such arrangement, the Financial Advisor may provide certain services with respect to Introduced Clients, including the Subscriber, which may include the following:

(a) Facilitating communications between the Fund and Introduced Clients, including serving as a point of contact for Introduced Clients with respect to any inquiries or requests they may have;

(b) Receiving and ensuring the completeness of subscription agreements completed by Introduced Clients;

(c) Receiving from the Fund and delivering to Introduced Clients securities or cash to be distributed to Introduced Clients in connection with redemptions by such Introduced Clients or cash distributions that the Fund has determined, in its sole discretion, to make to all Interestholders,

including distributions in respect of liquidation of the Fund; and

(d) Receiving any requests for transfers of Interests by Introduced Clients and communicating such transfer requests to the Manager, and otherwise facilitating the process for transfers of Interests by Introduced Clients if permitted by the Manager, in its sole discretion.

The Financial Advisor may indemnify the Fund for certain losses resulting from errors made in connection with the provision of services (including with respect to processing redemption requests) pursuant to the Intermediary Agreement.

As compensation for its services to the Fund in respect of an Introduced Client, the Financial Advisor may receive certain fees from GS.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Fund, in its sole discretion, may reject any subscription for Interests by any Introduced Client. The Fund, the Manager, GS and its affiliates will not be responsible or liable for (i) the contents of any representation made by the Financial Advisor to prospective investors (other than the contents of the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information) and (ii) any materials provided to prospective investors by the Financial Advisor, if any, in connection with the offering of the Interests (other than the contents of the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information).

By subscribing for Interests and becoming an Interestholder of the Fund, the Subscriber consents to the Financial Advisor providing the services on the terms set forth in the Intermediary Agreement.

PART B: FOR IRAs ONLY

In this Part B, an XXX is referred to as a “Plan.” In connection with your investment in the Fund:

1. You agree to provide such information (including a list of disqualified persons with respect to the Plan for purposes of Section 4975(e)(2) of the IRS Code) as the Manager may request from time to time in order to avoid possible violations of any provision of ERISA, the IRS Code or any other laws applicable to the Plan.

2. The person executing this Subscription Agreement on behalf of a Plan (the “Fiduciary”) represents and warrants to the Fund that:

- 18 -


III. Subscription Agreement Terms and Conditions

b. Neither the Manager nor any of its affiliates (including, without limitation, GS) has acted as a fiduciary under ERISA or the IRS Code with respect to the purchase, holding or disposition of the Interests. No advice provided by the Manager or any of its affiliates (including, without limitation, GS) has formed a basis for any investment decision by the Plan in connection with such purchase, holding or disposition.

c. The Fiduciary has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Fund, and from time to time hereafter will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Fund, in writing, all of the information which the Manager may request in order to avoid violations of any provision of ERISA, the IRS Code or any other laws applicable to the Plan, and will notify the Manager promptly, in writing, of any change in the information so furnished. The Fiduciary understands that the Manager, GS and their affiliates will rely on all information provided on behalf of the Plan in connection with the purchase and holding of the Interests, including all information provided in this Subscription Agreement and all updates to and changes in such information as may be provided on behalf of the Plan hereafter.

d. The Fiduciary has the authority and discretion to, and is duly authorized to, make the purchase of the Interests.

respect to, and is responsible for exercising

independent judgment in evaluating, the Plan’s purchase, holding and disposition of the Interests; (5) neither the Manager nor any of its affiliates (including, without limitation, GS), nor any director, officer, member, partner, employee, principal or agent of the Manager or any of its affiliates (including, without limitation, GS) receives a fee or other compensation from the Plan or the Fiduciary for the provision of investment advice in connection with the Plan’s purchase, holding or disposition of the Interests; and (6) the Board of Managers, the Financial Advisor, the Fund and the Manager and their respective employees, representatives or affiliates do not have investment discretion, and are not otherwise acting in a fiduciary capacity, with respect to the investment of the Plan’s assets in the Fund.

f. As of the time of the subscription to purchase the Interests, and at all times that the Plan is holding Interests, the Plan’s purchase and holding of the Interests do not, and will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 4975 of the IRS Code.

undrawn Commitment of some or all of the Interestholders, including the Fund’s right to issue drawdown notices or otherwise call for and receive undrawn Commitments in connection with the acquisition of Interests and all rights and remedies related thereto and the obligations of some or all of the Interestholders under their respective Subscription Agreements under which such Interestholders agreed to purchase Interests (the rights described in this clause (b) referred to herein as “Assigned Rights,” and together with Assets, referred to herein as “Credit Support”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Fund may exclude from such Credit Support all or a portion of the Assigned Rights of any holders of Interests that are officers, managers, certain significant holders of Interests, and certain other persons, to the extent restricted under, or considered by the Fund to be necessary or desirable to facilitate compliance with, applicable laws or regulations, including ERISA, the Investment Company Act and the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended.
