ARTICLE III

MANAGEMENT; ADVICE AND MANAGEMENT

3.1. MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL

(a) The General Partner delegates to the Directors those rights and powers of the General Partner necessary for the Directors to manage and control the business affairs of the Partnership and to carry out their oversight obligations with respect to the Partnership required under the 1940 Act, state law, and any other applicable laws or regulations. Rights and powers delegated to the Directors include, without limitation, the authority as Directors to oversee and to establish policies regarding the management, conduct and operation of the Partnership’s business, and to do all things necessary and proper as Directors to carry out the objective and business of the Partnership, including, without limitation, the power to engage the Adviser to provide Advice and Management and to remove the Adviser, as well as to exercise any other rights and powers expressly given to the Directors under this Agreement. The Partners intend that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (1) each Director is vested with the same powers and authority on behalf of the Partnership as are customarily vested in each director of a Delaware corporation and (2) each Independent Director is vested with the same powers and authority on behalf of the Partnership as are customarily vested in each director who is not an “interested person” (as that term is defined in the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) of a closed-end, management investment company registered under the 1940 Act that is organized as a Delaware corporation. During any period in which the Partnership has no Directors, the General Partner will manage and control the Partnership. Each Director will be the agent of the Partnership but will not, for any purpose, be a General Partner. Notwithstanding the delegation described in this Section 3.1(a), the General Partner will not cease to be the General Partner and will continue to be liable as such and in no event will a Director be considered a General Partner by agreement, estoppel or otherwise as a result of the performance of his or her duties under this Agreement or otherwise. The General Partner retains those rights, powers and duties that have not been delegated under this Agreement. Any Director may be admitted to the Partnership in accordance with Section 2.7 of this Agreement and make Capital Contributions and own an Interest, in which case the Director will also become a Limited Partner.

(b) The Partnership will file a tax return as a Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. All decisions for the Partnership relating to tax matters including, without limitation, whether to make any tax elections (including the election under Section 754 of the Code), the positions to be made on the Partnership’s tax returns and the settlement or further contest or litigation of any audit matters raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority, will be made by the Directors. All actions (other than ministerial actions) taken by the tax matters Partner, as designated in Section 3.1(c) below, will be subject to the approval of the Directors.

(c) The General Partner will be the designated tax matters Partner for purposes of the Code. Each Partner agrees not to treat, on his, her or its personal income tax return or in any claim for a refund, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of the item by the Partnership. The tax matters Partner will have the exclusive authority and discretion to make any elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under any provisions of the Code or any other revenue laws.

(d) No Limited Partner will have any right to participate in or take any part in the management or control of the Partnership’s business, and no Limited Partner will have any right, power or authority to act for or bind the Partnership. Limited Partners will have the right to vote on any matters only as provided in this Agreement or on any matters that require the approval of the holders of voting securities under the 1940 Act and will have no right to exercise any other vote granted to Limited Partners under the Delaware Act, any such rights being vested in the Directors (or the General Partner if there are no Directors) and may be exercised without requiring the approval of the Limited Partners.

3.2. POWERS RESERVED BY THE GENERAL PARTNER

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner retains all rights, duties and powers to manage the affairs of the Partnership that may not be delegated under Delaware law, and that are not otherwise delegated by the General Partner to the Directors or assumed by the Adviser or any other Person under the terms of any agreement between the Partnership and the Adviser or any other Person.

(8)

3.3. ACTIONS BY DIRECTORS

(a) Unless provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Directors will act only: (1) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors (which majority will include any requisite number of Independent Directors required by the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) present at a meeting duly called at which a quorum of the Directors is present either in person or, to the extent consistent with the provisions

of the 1940 Act, by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other; or (2) by unanimous written consent of all of the Directors without a meeting, if permissible under the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇.

(b) The Directors may designate from time to time a Director or an officer of the Partnership or the General Partner who will preside at all meetings. Meetings of the Directors may be called by the General Partner, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or any two Directors, and may be held on any date and at any time and place determined by the Directors. Each Director will be entitled to receive written notice of the date, time and place of a meeting within a reasonable time in advance of the meeting. Notice need not be given to any Director who attends a meeting without objecting to the lack of notice or who executes a written waiver of notice with respect to the meeting. A majority of the Directors then in office will constitute a quorum at any meeting of Directors.

(c) The Directors may appoint from time to time agents and employees of the Partnership who will have the same powers and duties on behalf of the Partnership as are customarily vested in officers of a corporation incorporated under Delaware law, or such other powers and duties as may be designated by the Directors, in their sole discretion, and designate them as officers or agents of the Partnership by resolution of the Directors specifying their titles or functions.

3.4. MEETINGS OF PARTNERS

(a) Actions requiring the vote of the Partners may be taken at any duly constituted meeting of the Partners at which a quorum is present or by means of a written consent. Meetings of the Partners may be called by the General Partner, by the affirmative vote of a majority of Directors then in office, or by Partners holding at least a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Partners, and may be held at any time, date and place determined by the General Partner in the case of meetings called by the General Partner or the Partners and at any time, date and place determined by the Directors in the case of meetings called by the Directors. In each case, the General Partner will provide notice of the meeting, stating the date, time and place of the meeting and the record date for the meeting, to each Partner entitled to vote at the meeting within a reasonable time prior to the meeting. Failure to receive notice of a meeting on the part of any Partner will not affect the validity of any act or proceeding of the meeting, so long as a quorum is present at the meeting. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, only matters set out in the notice of a meeting may be voted on by the Partners at the meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of Partners holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Partners as of the record date will constitute a quorum at any meeting of Partners. In the absence of a quorum, a meeting may be adjourned to the time or times as determined by the General Partner and communicated to the Directors in the manner described above in this Section 3.4(a). Except as otherwise required by any provision of this Agreement or of the 1940 Act, (1) those candidates receiving a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of Partners called pursuant to Section 2.11(c) of this Agreement or elected pursuant to the requirement of Section 2.11(b) will be elected as Directors and (2) all other actions of the Partners taken at a meeting will require the affirmative vote of Partners holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by those Partners who are present in person or by proxy at the meeting.

(b) Each Partner will be entitled to cast at any meeting of Partners or pursuant to written consent a number of votes equivalent to the Partner’s Investment Percentage as of the record date for the meeting or the date of the written consent. The General Partner will establish a record date not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the date of any meeting of Partners or mailing (including by electronic transmission) to the Partners of any written consent, to determine eligibility to vote at the meeting and the number of votes that each Partner will be entitled to cast at the meeting, and will maintain for each record date a list setting out the name of each Partner and the number of votes that each Partner will be entitled to cast at the meeting.

(c) A Partner may vote at any meeting of Partners by a properly executed proxy transmitted to the Partnership at any time at or before the time of the meeting by telegram, telecopier or other means of electronic communication or other readable reproduction as contemplated by the provisions relating to proxies applicable to corporations incorporated under the laws of Delaware now or in the future in effect. A proxy may be suspended or revoked, as the case may be, by the Partner executing the proxy by a later writing delivered to the Partnership at any time prior to exercise of the proxy or if the Partner executing the proxy is present at the meeting and votes in person. Any action of the Partners that is permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Partners may be taken without a meeting if consents in writing, setting out the action to be taken, are signed by Partners holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast or any greater percentage as may be required under this Agreement to approve the action.

3.5. ADVICE AND MANAGEMENT

(a) The Directors will, among their powers, have the authority to cause the Partnership to engage the Adviser to provide Advice and Management to the Partnership under their direction, subject to any approval of such engagement by the Partners that may be required under the 1940 Act. As directed by the Directors, the Partnership and the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, among its powers described in Section 3.2 of this Agreement, will have the authority to execute, deliver and monitor the performance of any contract or agreement to provide Advice and Management to the Partnership (each, an “Investment Advisory Agreement”). Any such Investment Advisory Agreement will require that the Adviser acknowledge its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) The assets of the Partnership shall be invested in accordance with the “Asset Allocation Ranges” set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement, as such Asset Allocation Ranges may be amended by the Directors from time to time. The Directors may, in their sole and absolute discretion, change or modify such Asset Allocation Ranges, provided that in the event that the Directors so modify or change such Asset Allocation Ranges, the Partnership shall provide each Limited Partner with ninety (90) days’ prior written notice of such change and the new Asset Allocation Ranges adopted by the Directors, which shall be put into effect not sooner than the first day of the first Fiscal Period following the expiration of ninety (90) days following the date on which such notice was given.

(c) So long as the Adviser has been and continues to be authorized to provide Advice and Management pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, it will have, subject to this Agreement and to any policies and restrictions adopted from time to time by the Directors and communicated in writing to the Adviser (in each case, as more fully described in such Investment Advisory Agreement), full discretion and authority on behalf of and in the name of the Partnership (1) to manage the assets and liabilities of the Partnership, (2) to identify and evaluate Investment Managers and Investment Funds and to determine the assets of the Partnership to be committed to each Investment Manager and Investment Fund from time to time (subject to the provisions of Section 3.5(c)(8) of this Agreement in the case of Sub-advisers), in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the governing documents of each Investment Manager and Investment Fund, and (3) to invest directly the assets of the Partnership in investments pending allocation or reallocation of the assets in Investment Funds or to ensure the availability of cash as required by the Partnership in the ordinary course of its business. In furtherance of, and subject to the provisions of this Section 3.5(c), the Adviser, except as otherwise provided in the applicable Investment Advisory Agreement (and at all times subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act), will have full discretion and authority on behalf of and in the name of the Partnership:

(1)	to purchase, sell, exchange, trade and otherwise deal in and with Securities and other property of the Partnership, including, without limitation, interests in Investment Funds, and to loan Securities of the Partnership;

(2)	to do any and all acts and exercise all rights with respect to the Partnership’s interest as an investor in any Person, including, without limitation, the voting of limited partnership interests or shares of Investment Funds;

(3)

to enter into subscription or other agreements relating to investments in Investment Funds (subject to Section 3.5(c)(8) of this Agreement in the case of agreements with Sub-advisers), including, without limitation, agreements irrevocably to forego the Partnership’s right to vote its limited partnership (or similar) interests or shares of Investment Funds;

(4)

to negotiate the terms of and enter into agreements with Investment Managers and Investment Funds (subject to Section 3.5(c)(8) of this Agreement in the case of agreements with Sub-advisers) that provide for, among other things, the payment of management fees, reimbursement of expenses and allocations of profits to Investment Managers and the indemnification by the Partnership of Investment Managers and Investment Funds to the same or different extent as provided for with respect to the Adviser, and to amend, modify, terminate or grant waivers in respect of those agreements;

(5)

to open, maintain and close accounts with brokers and dealers, to make all decisions relating to the manner, method and timing of Securities and other investment transactions, to select and place orders with brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries for the execution, clearance or settlement of any transactions on behalf of the Partnership on those terms that the Adviser considers appropriate, and to grant limited discretionary authorization to brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries with respect to price, time and other terms of investment and trading transactions;

(6)

to borrow from banks or other financial institutions and to pledge the assets of the Partnership as collateral for those borrowings, to trade on margin, to exercise or refrain from exercising all rights regarding the Partnership’s investments, and to instruct custodians regarding the settlement of transactions, the disbursement of payments to the Partnership with respect to repurchases of Interests or portions of Interests and the payment of Partnership expenses, including those relating to the organization and registration of the Partnership;

(7)

subject to Section 3.5(c)(8) of this Agreement, to engage the services of Persons, including Affiliates of the Adviser, to assist the Adviser in providing, or to provide under the Adviser’s control and supervision, Advice and Management to the Partnership at the expense of the Adviser and to amend, modify or terminate or grant waivers in respect of these services;

(8)

(A) to commit all or part of the Partnership’s assets to the discretionary management of one or more Sub-advisers, the selection of which will be subject to the approval of a majority (as defined in the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) of the Partnership’s outstanding voting securities, unless the Partnership receives an exemption from the provisions of the 1940 Act requiring such approval, (B) to negotiate and enter into agreements with the Sub-advisers that provide for, among other things, the indemnification by the Partnership of the Sub-advisers to the same or different extent as provided for with respect to the Adviser, and to amend, modify, terminate or grant waivers in respect of those agreements (subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act and applicable law), and (C) to authorize the payment of fees, reimbursement of expenses and allocations of profits to Sub-advisers in accordance with their respective governing documents; and

(9)	subject to applicable law, to take all such other actions that the Adviser considers necessary or advisable in furtherance of its duties and powers under the applicable Investment Advisory Agreement.

(d) The Adviser, to the extent of its powers set out in this Agreement or otherwise vested in it by action of the Directors not inconsistent with this Agreement, is an agent of the Partnership, and the actions of the Adviser taken or refrained from being taken in accordance with such powers will bind the Partnership.

3.6. CUSTODY OF ASSETS OF THE PARTNERSHIP

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner will not have any authority to hold or have possession or custody of any funds, Securities or other property of the Partnership. The physical possession of all funds, Securities or other property of the Partnership will at all times be held, controlled and administered by one or more custodians retained by the Partnership. The General Partner will have no responsibility, other than that associated with the oversight and supervision of custodians retained by the Partnership, with respect to the collection of income or the physical acquisition or safekeeping of the funds, Securities or other property of the Partnership, all duties of collection, physical acquisition or safekeeping being the sole obligation of such custodians.

(b) With respect to any Investment Fund securities held by the Partnership as of the date on which the Partnership becomes registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and during any period of time in which the Partnership remains so registered, such securities shall be under the control of one or more of the Partnership’s custodian(s), as may be engaged from time to time, pursuant to Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder, and no person shall be authorized or permitted to have access to such securities except in accordance with Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder, and consistent with the terms of the Partnership’s agreement with the relevant Partnership custodian.

3.7. BROKERAGE

In the course of selecting brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries for the execution, clearance and settlement of transactions for the Partnership under Sections 3.5(c)(5) and (6) of this Agreement, the Adviser may, subject to policies adopted by the Partnership and to the provisions of applicable law, agree to commissions, fees and other charges on behalf of the Partnership as the Adviser deems reasonable in the circumstances, taking into account all such factors as it deems relevant, including the reliability of the broker, financial responsibility of the broker, strength of the broker, ability of the broker to efficiently execute transactions, the broker’s facilities, and the broker’s provision or payment of the costs of research and other services that are of benefit to the Partnership, the Adviser and other clients of and accounts managed by the Adviser, even if the cost of these services does not represent the lowest cost available. The Adviser will be under no obligation to combine or arrange orders so as to obtain reduced charges unless otherwise required under the U.S. Federal securities laws. The Adviser, subject to procedures adopted by the Directors, may use Affiliates of the Adviser and the General Partner as brokers to effect the Partnership’s Securities transactions and the Partnership may pay commissions to these brokers in amounts as are permissible under applicable law.

3.8. OTHER ACTIVITIES

(a) None of the General Partner, the Adviser and their principals, Partners, directors, officers, members, employees and beneficial owners nor the Directors will be required to devote full time to the affairs of the Partnership, but each will devote such time as each may reasonably be required to perform its obligations under this Agreement and under the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇.

(b) The Adviser, the Directors, any Partner, and any Affiliate of any Partner may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures or commercial dealings of every kind and description, independently or with others, including, but not limited to, acquisition and disposition of Securities, provision of investment advisory or brokerage services, serving as directors, officers, employees, advisors or agents of other companies, Partners of any Partnership, members of any limited liability company, or trustees of any trust, or entering into any other commercial arrangements. No Partner will have any rights in or to such activities of any other Partner, the Adviser, the Directors or any Affiliate of any Partner or any profits derived from these activities.

(c) The General Partner, the Adviser and their principals, Partners, directors, officers, members, employees and beneficial owners and the Directors, from time to time may acquire, possess, manage, hypothecate and dispose of Securities or other investment assets, and engage in any other investment transaction for any account over which they exercise discretionary authority, including their own accounts, the accounts of their families, the account of any entity in which they have a beneficial interest or the accounts of others for whom or which they may provide investment advisory or other services.

(d) To the extent that at law or in equity the Directors, the Adviser or the General Partner has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating to those duties to the Partnership or to any other Partner or other Person bound by this Agreement, any such Person acting under this Agreement will not be liable to the Partnership or to any other Partner or other Person bound by this Agreement for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the General Partner, the Adviser or the Directors otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace the other duties and liabilities of the General Partner, the Adviser or the Directors.

3.9. DUTY OF CARE

(a) The Directors, the Adviser and the General Partner, including any officer, director, Partner, member, principal, employee or agent of any of them, will not be liable to the Partnership or to any of its Partners for any loss or damage occasioned by any act or omission in the performance of the Person’s services under this Agreement, in the absence of a final judicial decision on the merits from which no further right to appeal may be taken that the loss is due to an act or omission of the Person constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the Person’s duties under this Agreement.

(b) No Director who has been designated an “audit committee financial expert” (for purposes of Section 407 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002 or any successor provision thereto, and any rules issued thereunder by the Commission) in the Partnership’s registration statement or other reports required to be filed with the Commission shall be subject to any greater duty of care in discharging such Director’s duties and responsibilities by virtue of such designation than is any Director who has not been so designated.

(c) Limited Partners not in breach of any obligation under this Agreement or under any agreement pursuant to which the Limited Partner subscribed for Interests will be liable to the Partnership, any Partner or third parties only as required by this Agreement or applicable law.

3.10. INDEMNIFICATION

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership will, subject to Section 3.10(c) of this Agreement, indemnify each General Partner and Adviser (including for this purpose each officer, director, member, Partner, principal, employee or agent of, or any Person who controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, a General Partner or Adviser or Partner of a General Partner or Adviser, and their executors, heirs, assigns, successors or other legal representatives) and each Director (and his executors, heirs, assigns, successors or other legal representatives) (each such Person being referred to as an “indemnitee”) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses arising by reason of being or having been a General Partner, Adviser or Director of the Partnership, or the past or present performance of services to the Partnership by the indemnitee, except to the extent that the loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense has been finally determined in a judicial decision on the merits from which no further right to appeal may be taken in any such action, suit, investigation or other proceeding to have been incurred or suffered by the indemnitee by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the indemnitee’s office. These losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses include, but are not limited to, amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, or as fines or penalties, and counsel fees and expenses incurred in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit, investigation or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any judicial, arbitral, administrative or legislative body, in which the indemnitee may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise, or with which such indemnitee may be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter. The rights of indemnification provided under this Section 3.10 are not to be construed so as to provide for indemnification of an indemnitee for any liability (including liability under U.S. Federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on Persons that act in good faith) to the extent (but only to the extent) that indemnification would be in violation of applicable law, but will be construed so as to effectuate the applicable provisions of this Section 3.10.

(b) Expenses, including counsel fees and expenses, incurred by any indemnitee (but excluding amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, or as fines or penalties) may be paid from time to time by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of any action, suit, investigation or other proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnitee to repay to the Partnership amounts paid if a determination is made that indemnification of the expenses is not authorized under Section 3.10(a) of this Agreement, so long as (1) the indemnitee provides security for the undertaking, (2) the Partnership is insured by or on behalf of the indemnitee against losses arising by reason of the indemnitee’s failure to fulfill his, her or its undertaking, or (3) a majority of the Independent Directors (excluding any Director who is either seeking advancement of expenses under this Agreement or is or has been a party to any other action, suit, investigation or other proceeding involving claims similar to those involved in the action, suit, investigation or proceeding giving rise to a claim for advancement of expenses under this Agreement) or independent legal counsel in a written opinion determines, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that reason exists to believe that the indemnitee ultimately will be entitled to indemnification.

(c) As to the disposition of any action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (whether by a compromise payment, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise) without an adjudication or a decision on the merits by a court, or by any other body before which the proceeding has been brought, that an indemnitee is liable to the Partnership or its Partners by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the indemnitee’s office, indemnification will be provided in accordance with Section 3.10(a) of this Agreement if (1) approved as in the best interests of the Partnership by a majority of the Independent Directors (excluding any Director who is either seeking indemnification under this Agreement or is or has been a party to any other action, suit, investigation or proceeding involving claims similar to those involved in the action, suit, investigation or proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement) upon a determination, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that the indemnitee acted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that the actions were in the best interests of the Partnership and that the indemnitee is not liable to the Partnership or its Partners by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the indemnitee’s office, or (2) the Directors secure a written opinion of independent legal counsel, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), to the effect that indemnification would not protect the indemnitee against any liability to the Partnership or its Partners to which the indemnitee would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the indemnitee’s office.

(d) Any indemnification or advancement of expenses made in accordance with this Section 3.10 will not prevent the recovery from any indemnitee of any amount if the indemnitee subsequently is determined in a final judicial decision on the merits in any action, suit, investigation or proceeding involving the liability or expense that gave rise to the indemnification or advancement of expenses to be liable to the Partnership or its Partners by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the indemnitee’s office. In any suit brought by an indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification under this Section 3.10, it will be a defense that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct described in this Section 3.10. In any suit in the name of the Partnership to recover any indemnification or advancement of expenses made in accordance with this Section 3.10, the Partnership will be entitled to recover the expenses upon a final adjudication from which no further right of appeal may be taken. In any suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover any indemnification or advancement of expenses made in accordance with this Section 3.10, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to any indemnification or advancement of expenses, under this Section 3.10 will be on the Partnership (or any Partner acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the Partnership or its Partners).

(e) An indemnitee may not satisfy any right of indemnification or advancement of expenses granted in this Section 3.10 or to which he, she or it may otherwise be entitled except out of the assets of the Partnership, and no Partner will be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses.

(f) The rights of indemnification provided in this Section 3.10 will not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any Person may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law. Nothing contained in this Section 3.10 will affect the power of the Partnership to purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of any General Partner, any Director, the Adviser or other Person.

(g) The General Partner may enter into agreements indemnifying Persons providing services to the Partnership to the same, lesser or greater extent as set out in this Section 3.10.

3.11. FEES, EXPENSES AND REIMBURSEMENT

(a) As consideration for providing Advice and Management, and for so long as the Adviser provides Advice and Management to the Partnership pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Partnership will pay the Adviser a management fee at an annual rate (not to exceed 1% per annum) and at such intervals as determined by the Directors and approved in the manner contemplated by the 1940 Act of the value of each Limited Partner’s Capital Account as of the first Business Day of each month (the “Management Fee”), which amount will be charged as of that date to the Capital Account of each Limited Partner. The Management Fee will be computed based on the Capital Account of each Limited Partner as of the end of business on the last Business Day of each month, after adjustment for any subscriptions effective on that date and before giving effect to any repurchase of Interests or portions of Interests effective as of that date, and will be due and payable in arrears within five Business Days after the end of the month. Subject to applicable law, the Adviser is authorized, but not required, to waive, reduce or rebate the Management Fee calculated with respect to, and deducted from, the Capital Accounts of Limited Partners and to pay all or part of the Management Fee to third parties for services rendered in connection with the placement of Interests.

(b) The Partnership will compensate each Independent Director for his or her services rendered in connection with the Partnership as may be agreed to by the Directors and the General Partner. In addition, the Partnership will reimburse the Directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in performing their duties with respect to the Partnership.

(c) The Partnership will add to all subscriptions for Interests or portions of Interests any sales charge or fee, in form and amount as determined by the General Partner, subject to approval by the Directors, payable to Placement Agents for the placement of such Interests or portions of Interests. Any sales charge or fee paid in accordance with this Section 3.11(c) will not constitute a Capital Contribution made by the Partner to the Partnership nor part of the assets of the Partnership.

(d) The Partnership will bear all expenses incurred in connection with its business other than those specifically required to be borne by the Adviser under this Agreement or an Investment Advisory Agreement. Expenses to be borne by the Partnership include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1)

all investment-related expenses, including, but not limited to, fees paid and expenses reimbursed, directly or indirectly, to Investment Managers (including management fees, performance or incentive fees or allocations and redemption or withdrawal fees, however titled or structured), all costs and expenses directly related to portfolio transactions and positions for the Partnership’s account, such as direct and indirect expenses associated with the Partnership’s investments, including its investments in Investment Funds or with Sub-advisers (whether or not consummated), and enforcing the Partnership’s rights in respect of such investments, transfer taxes and premiums, taxes withheld on non-U.S. dividends, fees for data and software providers, research expenses, professional fees (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of consultants, attorneys and

experts) and, if applicable in the event the Partnership utilizes a Sub-adviser (or in connection with the Partnership’s temporary or cash management investments), brokerage commissions, interest and commitment fees on loans and debit balances, borrowing charges on Securities sold short, dividends on Securities sold but not yet purchased and margin fees;

(2)	all costs and expenses associated with the establishment of Investment Funds (whether or not consummated) managed by Sub-advisers;

(3)	any non-investment-related interest expense;

(4)	attorneys’ fees and disbursements associated with preparing and updating any Offering Materials and with reviewing subscription materials in connection with qualifying prospective investors or prospective holders of Transferred Interests;

(5)	fees and disbursements of any accountants engaged by the Partnership, and expenses related to the annual audit of the Partnership and compliance with any applicable U.S. Federal or state laws;

(6)	fees paid and out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed to the Partnership’s administrator;

(7)	recordkeeping, custody and escrow fees and expenses;

(8)	the costs of an errors and omissions/directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy and a fidelity bond;

(9)	the costs of preparing and mailing reports and other communications, including proxy, tender offer correspondence or similar materials, to Limited Partners;

(10)	the Management Fee;

(11)	fees of Independent Directors and travel expenses of Directors relating to meetings of the Board of Directors and committees thereof;

(12)	all costs and charges for equipment or services used in preparing or communicating information regarding the Partnership’s transactions or the valuation of its assets among the Adviser and any custodian, administrator or other agent engaged by the Partnership;

(13)	any extraordinary expenses, including indemnification expenses as provided for in Section 3.10 of this Agreement;

(14)	any other expenses as may be approved from time to time by the Directors, other than those required to be borne by the Adviser or the General Partner; and

(15)

the Partnership’s organization expenses and offering costs, which will initially be borne by the General Partner, and paid by the Partnership as provided in this Section 3.11(d)(15). The Partnership will reimburse the General Partner for these expenditures, through monthly expense allocations to Limited Partners’ Capital Accounts, for a period not to exceed the first sixty months after the Closing Date. The amount of each such monthly reimbursement to the General Partner will be determined by the Directors and the General Partner and will equal an amount of the Partnership’s net assets as of the end of each month during such period sufficient to fully reimburse the General Partner within such sixty-month period. If the General Partner is completely reimbursed before the end of such sixty-month period, then, during the remainder of the sixty-month period, newly admitted Limited Partners, and existing Limited Partners that subscribe for additional Interests, will be allocated a proportionate share of the amount previously reimbursed to the General Partner.

(e) Each of the Adviser and the General Partner will be entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership for any of the above expenses that it pays on behalf of the Partnership, other than as provided in Section 3.11(d)(15) above.

ARTICLE IV

TERMINATION OF STATUS OF GENERAL PARTNER;

REMOVAL OF GENERAL PARTNER; TRANSFERS AND REPURCHASES

4.1. TERMINATION OF STATUS OF GENERAL PARTNER

A General Partner will cease to be a general Partner of the Partnership if the General Partner (a) is dissolved or otherwise terminates its existence; (b) voluntarily withdraws as General Partner (which it may do at any time in its sole discretion); (c) is removed; (d) Transfers its entire Interest as General Partner as permitted under Section 4.3 of this Agreement and the Person to which the Interest is Transferred is admitted as a substituted General Partner under Section 2.6(a) of this Agreement; or (e) otherwise ceases to be a General Partner under the Delaware Act.

4.2. REMOVAL OF GENERAL PARTNER

Any General Partner may be removed by the vote or written consent of Partners holding not less than a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Partners.

4.3. TRANSFER OF INTEREST OF GENERAL PARTNER

A General Partner may not Transfer all or any portion of its Interest as the General Partner except to Persons who have agreed to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement and applicable law and with the affirmative vote of Partners holding at least a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Partners. If a General Partner Transfers its entire Interest as General Partner, it will not cease to be a General Partner unless and until the transferee is admitted to the Partnership as a substituted General Partner pursuant to Section 2.6(a) of this Agreement. In executing this Agreement, each Partner is deemed to have consented to any Transfer contemplated by this Section 4.3.

4.4. TRANSFER OF INTERESTS OF LIMITED PARTNERS

(a) Any Interest or portion of any Interest held by a Limited Partner may be Transferred only (1) by operation of law pursuant to the death, bankruptcy, insolvency, adjudicated incompetence, or dissolution of the Limited Partner; or (2) under certain limited instances set out in this Agreement, with the written consent of the General Partner (which may be withheld in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion). Unless the Partnership consults with legal counsel to the Partnership and counsel confirms that the Transfer will not cause the Partnership to be treated as a “publicly traded Partnership” taxable as a corporation, however, the General Partner may not consent to a Transfer unless the following conditions are met: (i) the Transferring Limited Partner has been a Limited Partner for at least six months; (ii) the proposed Transfer is to be made on the effective date of an offer by the Partnership to repurchase Interests; and (iii) the Transfer is (A) one in which the tax basis of the Interest in the hands of the transferee is determined, in whole or in part, by reference to its tax basis in the hands of the Transferring Limited Partner (e.g., certain Transfers to affiliates, gifts and contributions to family entities), (B) to members of the Transferring Limited Partner’s immediate family (siblings, spouse, parents and children), or (C) a distribution from a qualified retirement plan or an individual retirement account. In addition, the General Partner may not consent to a Transfer unless the Person to whom or which an Interest or portion of an Interest is Transferred (or each of the Person’s equity owners if the Person is a “private investment company” as defined in Rule 205-3(d)(3) under the Advisers Act, an investment company registered under the 1940 Act, or a business development company as defined under the Advisers Act) is a Person whom or which the General Partner believes is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the 1933 Act and meets the requirements of paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act or successor provision of any of those rules, or is

otherwise exempt from the requirements of those rules. In the event that other investor eligibility requirements are established by the Partnership, the Person to whom or which an Interest or portion of an Interest is Transferred must satisfy these other requirements. If any transferee does not meet the investor eligibility requirements described in this Section 4.4(a), the General Partner may not consent to the Transfer. In addition, no Limited Partner will be permitted to Transfer his, her or its Interest or portion of an Interest unless after the Transfer the balance of the Capital Account of the transferee, and of the Limited Partner Transferring less than the Partner’s entire Interest, is at least equal to the amount of the Limited Partner’s initial Capital Contribution. Any permitted transferee will be entitled to the allocations and distributions allocable to the Interest or portion of an Interest so acquired and to Transfer the Interest or portion of an Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but will not be entitled to the other rights of a Limited Partner unless and until the transferee becomes a substituted Limited Partner. If a Limited Partner Transfers an Interest or portion of an Interest with the approval of the General Partner, the General Partner will promptly take all necessary actions so that each transferee or successor to whom or to which the Interest or portion of an Interest is Transferred is admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner. The admission of any transferee as a substituted Limited Partner will be effective upon the execution and delivery by, or on behalf of, the substituted Limited Partner of this Agreement or an instrument that constitutes the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Each Limited Partner and transferee agrees to pay all expenses, including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, incurred by the Partnership in connection with any Transfer. In connection with any request to Transfer an Interest or portion of an Interest, the Partnership may require the Limited Partner requesting the Transfer to obtain, at the Limited Partner’s expense, an opinion of counsel selected by the General Partner as to such matters as the General Partner may reasonably request. If a Limited Partner Transfers its entire Interest as a Limited Partner, it will not cease to be a Limited Partner unless and until the transferee is admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Section 4.4(a).

(b) Each Limited Partner will indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, the General Partner, the Adviser, the Directors, each other Limited Partner and any Affiliate of the Partnership, the General Partner, the Adviser, the Director and each of the other Limited Partners against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including legal or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses or any judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement), joint or several, to which these Persons may become subject by reason of or arising from (1) any Transfer made by the Limited Partner in violation of this Section 4.4 and (2) any misrepresentation by the Transferring Limited Partner or substituted Limited Partner in connection with the Transfer. A Limited Partner Transferring an Interest may be charged reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, incurred by the Partnership in connection with the Transfer.

4.5. REPURCHASE OF INTERESTS

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Partner or other Person holding an Interest or portion of an Interest will have the right to withdraw or tender an Interest or portion of an Interest to the Partnership for redemption or repurchase. The Directors may, from time to time, in their complete and exclusive discretion and on terms and conditions as they may determine, cause the Partnership to repurchase Interests or portions of Interests in accordance with written tenders. The Partnership will not offer, however, to repurchase Interests or portions of Interests on more than four occasions during any one Fiscal Year, unless the Partnership has been advised by its legal counsel that more frequent offers would not cause any adverse tax consequences to the Partnership or the Partners. In determining whether to cause the Partnership to repurchase Interests or portions of Interests, pursuant to written tenders, the Directors will consider the following factors, among others:

(1)	whether any Partners have requested to tender Interests or portions of Interests;

(2)	the liquidity of the Partnership’s assets (including fees and costs associated with withdrawing from Investment Funds and/or disposing of assets managed by Sub-advisers);

(3)	the investment plans and working capital and reserve requirements of the Partnership;

(4)	the relative economies of scale with respect to the size of the Partnership;

(5)	the history of the Partnership in repurchasing Interests or portions of Interests;

(6)	the availability of information as to the value of the Partnership’s interests in the Investment Funds;

(7)	existing conditions of the securities markets and the economy generally, as well as political, national or international developments or current affairs;

(8)	the anticipated tax consequences to the Partnership of any proposed repurchases of Interests or portions of Interests; and

(9)	the recommendations of the General Partner and/or the Adviser.

The Directors will cause the Partnership to repurchase Interests or portions of Interests in accordance with written tenders only on terms fair to the Partnership and to all Partners and Persons holding Interests or portions of Interests acquired from Partners.

(b) Except as provided in Section 4.5(c) of this Agreement, a General Partner may tender its Interest or portion of an Interest under Section 4.5(a) of this Agreement only if and to the extent that (1) the repurchase would not cause the value of the Capital Account of the General Partner to be less than the value required to be maintained under Section 5.1(c) of this Agreement or (2) in the view of legal counsel to the Partnership, the repurchase would not jeopardize the classification of the Partnership as a Partnership for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.

(c) If a General Partner ceases to serve in that capacity under Section 4.1 of this Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 4.1(d)) and the business of the Partnership is continued in accordance with Section 6.1(a)(2)(B) of this Agreement, the former General Partner (or its trustee or other legal representative) may, by written notice to the Directors within 60 days of the action resulting in the continuation of the Partnership under Section 6.1(a)(2)(B), tender to the Partnership all or any portion of its Interest. Within 30 days after the receipt of notice, the Directors will cause the Interest or portion of an Interest to be repurchased by the Partnership for cash in an amount equal to the balance of the former General Partner’s Capital Account or applicable portion of the Capital Account. If the former General Partner does not tender to the Partnership all of its Interest as permitted by this Section 4.5(c), the Interest will automatically convert to and will be treated in all respects as the Interest of a Limited Partner. If the General Partner ceases to serve in this capacity under Section 4.1 of this Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 4.1(d)) and the Partnership is not continued under Section 6.1(a)(2)(B) of this Agreement, the liquidation and distribution provisions of Article VI of this Agreement will apply to the General Partner’s Interest.

(d) The General Partner may cause the Partnership to repurchase an Interest or portion of an Interest of a Limited Partner or any Person acquiring an Interest from or through a Limited Partner, on terms fair to the Partnership and to the Limited Partner or Person acquiring an Interest from or through such Limited Partner, in the event that the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines or has reason to believe that:

(1)

the Interest or portion of an Interest has been Transferred in violation of Section 4.4 of this Agreement, or the Interest or portion of an Interest has vested in any Person other than by operation of law as the result of the death, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or adjudicated incompetence of the Limited Partner;

(2)

ownership of the Interest or portion of an Interest by a Partner or other Person is likely to (A) cause the Partnership to be in violation of, or (B) (x) require registration of any Interest or portion of any Interest under, or (y) subject the Partnership to additional registration or regulation under, the securities, commodities or other laws of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction;

(3)

continued ownership of the Interest or portion of an Interest may be harmful or injurious to the business or reputation of the Partnership, the Directors, the General Partner or the Adviser or any of their Affiliates, or may subject the Partnership or any of the Partners to an undue risk of adverse tax or other fiscal or regulatory consequences;

(4)	any of the representations and warranties made by a Partner or other Person in connection with the acquisition of the Interest or portion of an Interest was not true when made or has ceased to be true;

(5)

with respect to a Limited Partner subject to special regulatory or compliance requirements, such as those imposed by ERISA, the Bank Holding Company Act or certain Federal Communication Commission regulations (collectively, “Special Laws or Regulations”), such Limited Partner will likely be subject to additional regulatory or compliance requirements under these Special Laws or Regulations by virtue of continuing to hold an Interest or portion of an Interest; or

(6)	it would be in the best interests of the Partnership, as determined by the General Partner or the Directors, for the Partnership to repurchase the Interest or portion of an Interest.

(e) Repurchases of Interests or portions of Interests by the Partnership will be payable promptly after the date of each repurchase or, in the case of an offer by the Partnership to repurchase Interests or portions of Interests, promptly after the expiration date of the repurchase offer in accordance with the terms of the repurchase offer. Payment of the purchase price for an Interest or portion of an Interest will consist of: (1) cash or a promissory note, which will be non-transferable and need not bear interest, in an amount equal to the percentage, as may be determined by the Directors, of the estimated unaudited net asset value of the Interest or portion of an Interest repurchased by the Partnership determined as of the ate of the repurchase (the “Initial Payment”); and (2) if determined to be appropriate by the Directors or if the Initial Payment is less than 100% of the estimated unaudited net asset value, a promissory note, which may or may not be incorporated into the note applicable to the Initial Payment entitling its holder to a contingent payment (the “Post-Audit Payment”) equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the net asset value of the Interest or portion of any Interest repurchased by the Partnership as of the date of the repurchase, determined based on the audited financial statements of the Partnership for the Fiscal year in which the repurchase was effective, over (B) the Initial Payment. Any obligation under such a promissory note with respect to the Initial Payment will be due and payable not more than 30 days after the date of repurchase or, if the Partnership has requested withdrawal of its capital from any Investment Funds in funding the repurchase of Interests, ten Business Days after the Partnership has received at least 90% of the aggregate amount withdrawn by the Partnership from the Investment Funds. Any obligation under such a promissory note with respect to the Post-Audit Payment will be due and payable promptly following the preparation of the applicable audited financial statements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.5(e), the Directors, in their discretion, may cause the Partnership to pay all or any portion of the repurchase price in Securities (or any combination of Securities and cash) having a value, determined as of the date of repurchase, equal to the amount to be repurchased. All repurchases of Interests or portions of Interest will be subject to any and all conditions as the Directors may impose in their sole discretion. The General Partner may, in its discretion, cause the Partnership to repurchase a Limited Partner’s entire Interest, if the Limited Partner’s Capital Account balance in the Partnership, as a result of repurchase or Transfer requests by the Limited Partner, is less than $100,000 or such other minimum amount established by the General Partner from time to time in its sole discretion. Subject to the procedures of this Section 4.5(e), the amount due to any Partner whose Interest or portion of an Interest is repurchased will be equal to the value of the Partner’s Capital Account or portion of such Capital Account, as of the effective date of repurchase, after giving effect to all allocation to be made to the Partner’s Capital Account as of that date. If a Limited Partner’s entire Interest is repurchase, that Limited Partner will cease to be a Limited Partner.

(f) Special Right of Redemption for Limited Partners. Any Limited Partner may, in connection with the dissolution and liquidation of such Limited Partner, tender to the Partnership for redemption all of such Limited Partner’s Interest by delivering to the General Partner a written notice (in a form approved by the General Partner) stating the Limited Partner’s request to redeem all of its Interest and the effective date of such redemption. The effective date of such redemption shall be the last Business Day of any calendar quarter, provided that such effective date shall not occur within 90 days after the General Partner actually receives the redeeming Limited Partner’s notice of redemption. In the event of such a tender for redemption, the Partnership, subject always to (a) the Partnership’s ability to liquidate sufficient Partnership investments in an orderly fashion determined by the Directors to be fair and reasonable to the Partnership and all of the Limited Partners, (b) the right of the General Partner to retain assets to pay Partnership liabilities and set aside reserves for contingencies, and (c) the General Partner’s ability to determine the value of the redeeming Limited Partner’s Interest, shall pay to such redeeming Limited Partner (i) within 90 days, or as soon as practicable thereafter, 90% of the proceeds of such redemption (such proceeds being the amount in the redeeming Limited Partner’s Capital Account as of the effective date of the redemption, less any fees and expenses incurred by the Partnership as a result of such redemption and any amounts owed by the redeeming Limited Partner to the Partnership) and (ii) promptly following the completion of the audit of the Partnership for the Fiscal Year during which the effective date of the redemption occurs, the balance of such proceeds (with interest thereon at the money market rate then in effect at the depository with which the Partnership maintains its liquid cash accounts), provided that such proceeds in either instance may be paid in cash (in U.S. dollars), by means of in-kind distribution of Partnership investments, or as a combination of cash and in-kind distribution of Partnership investments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner may, in its absolute discretion, refuse to pay any redemption proceeds to a redeeming Limited Partner if the General Partner suspects or is advised that the payment of any redemption proceeds to such redeeming Limited Partner may result in a breach or violation of any anti-money laundering law by any Person in any relevant jurisdiction or if such refusal is necessary to ensure compliance by the Partnership, the General Partner, the Adviser, or any of the Directors with any anti-money laundering law in any relevant jurisdiction.

ARTICLE V

CAPITAL

5.1 CONTRIBUTIONS TO CAPITAL

(a) The minimum initial Capital Contribution of each Limited Partner will be $1,000,000 or such other amount as the General Partner determines from time to time. The amount of the initial Capital Contribution of each Partner will be recorded by the Partnership upon acceptance as a contribution to the capital of the Partnership. Each Limited Partner’s entire initial Capital Contribution will be paid to the Partnership immediately prior to the Partnership’s acceptance of the Limited Partner’s subscription for Interests, unless otherwise agreed by the Partnership and such Limited Partner.

(b) The Limited Partners may make additional Capital Contributions effective as of those times and in amounts as the General Partner may permit, but no Limited Partner will be obligated to make any additional Capital Contribution except to the extent provided in Sections 5.5 and 5.7 of this Agreement. Each additional Capital Contribution made by a Limited Partner (other than a contribution made pursuant to Section 5.5 or Section 5.7 of this Agreement) will be in the minimum amount of $100,000 or such other amount as the General Partner determines from time to time.

(c) A General Partner may make additional Capital Contributions effective as of those times and in such amounts as it determines, and will be required to make additional Capital Contributions from time to time to the extent necessary to maintain the balance of its Capital Account at an amount, if any, necessary to ensure that the Partnership will be treated as a Partnership for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. Except as provided in this Section 5.1 or in the Delaware Act, no General Partner will be required or obligated to make any additional contributions to the capital of the Partnership.

(d) Subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, and except as otherwise permitted by the General Partner, (1) initial and any additional Capital Contributions by any Partner will be payable in cash or in Securities that the General Partner, in its absolute discretion, causes the Partnership to accept, and (2) initial and any additional Capital Contributions in cash will be payable in

readily available funds at the date of the proposed acceptance of the contribution. The Partnership will charge each Partner making a Capital Contribution in Securities to the capital of the Partnership an amount as may be determined by the General Partner to reimburse the Partnership for any costs incurred by the Partnership by reason of accepting the Securities, and any charge will be due and payable by the contributing Partner in full at the time the Capital Contribution to which the charges relate is due. The value of contributed Securities will be determined in accordance with Section 7.3 of this Agreement as of the date of contribution.

(e) An Adviser may make Capital Contributions and own Interests in the Partnership and, in so doing, will become a Limited Partner with respect to the contributions.

(f) The minimum initial and additional contributions set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.1 may be increased or reduced by the General Partner from time to time. Reductions may be applied to all investors, individual investors or to classes of investors, in each case in the sole discretion of the General Partner.

5.2. RIGHTS OF PARTNERS TO CAPITAL

No Partner will be entitled to interest on the Partner’s Capital Contribution, nor will any Partner be entitled to the return of any capital of the Partnership except (a) upon the repurchase by the Partnership of all or a portion of the Partner’s Interest in accordance with Section 4.5 of this Agreement, (b) in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7 of this Agreement or (c) upon the liquidation of the Partnership’s assets in accordance with Section 6.2 of this Agreement. Except as specified in the Delaware Act, or with respect to distributions or similar disbursements made in error, no Partner will be liable for the return of any such amounts. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Partner will have the right to require partition of the Partnership’s property or to compel any sale or appraisal of the Partnership’s assets.

5.3. CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

(a) The Partnership will maintain a separate Capital Account for each Partner.

(b) Each Partner’s Capital Account will have an initial balance equal to the amount of cash and the value of any Securities (determined in accordance with Section 7.3 of this Agreement) constituting the Partner’s initial Capital Contribution.

(c) Each Partner’s Capital Account will be increased by the sum of (1) the amount of cash and the value of any Securities (determined in accordance with Section 7.3 of this Agreement) constituting additional Capital Contributions by the Partner permitted under Section 5.1 of this Agreement, plus (2) any amount credited to the Partner’s Capital Account under Sections 5.4 through 5.7 of this Agreement.

(d) Each Partner’s Capital Account will be reduced by the sum of (1) the amount of any repurchase of the Interest or portion of the Interest of the Partner or distributions to the Partner under Section 4.5, 5.9 or 6.2 of this Agreement that are not reinvested, plus (2) any amounts debited against the Partner’s Capital Account under Sections 5.4 through 5.7 of this Agreement.

(e) In the event all or a portion of the Interest of a Partner is Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee will succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent of the Transferred Interest or portion of an Interest.

(f) Subject to Section 5.7 of this Agreement, no Partner will be required to pay to the Partnership or any other Partner any deficit in such Partner’s Capital Account upon dissolution of the Partnership or otherwise.

5.4. ALLOCATION OF NET PROFIT AND LOSS

As of the last day of each Fiscal Period, any Net Profit or Net Loss for the Fiscal Period will be allocated among and credited to or debited against the Capital Accounts of the Partners in accordance with their respective Investment Percentages for the Fiscal Period.

5.5. ALLOCATION OF CERTAIN WITHHOLDING TAXES AND OTHER EXPENDITURES

(a) If the Partnership incurs a withholding tax or other tax obligation with respect to the share of Partnership income allocable to any Partner, then the General Partner, without limitation of any other rights of the Partnership or the General Partner, will cause the amount of the obligation to be debited against the Capital Account of the Partner when the Partnership pays the obligation, and any amounts then or in the future distributable to the Partner will be reduced by the amount of the taxes. If the amount of the taxes is greater than any distributable amounts, then the Partner and any successor to the Partner’s Interest or portion of an Interest will pay to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution, upon demand by the General Partner, the amount of the excess. A General Partner will not be obligated to apply for or obtain a reduction of or exemption from withholding tax on behalf of any Partner that may be eligible for the reduction or exemption, except that, in the event that the General Partner determines that a Partner is eligible for a refund of any withholding tax, the General Partner may, at the request and expense of the Partner, assist the Partner in applying for such refund.

(b) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and unless prohibited by the 1940 Act, any expenditures payable by the Partnership, to the extent determined by the General Partner to have been paid or withheld on behalf of, or by reason of particular circumstances applicable to, one or more but fewer than all of the Partners, will be charged to only those Partners on whose behalf the payments are made or whose particular circumstances gave rise to such payments. The charges will be debited from the Capital Accounts of the Partners as of the close of the Fiscal Period during which the items were paid or accrued by the Partnership.

5.6. RESERVES

(a) The General Partner may cause appropriate reserves to be created, accrued and charged by the Partnership against Net Assets and proportionately against the Capital Accounts of the Partners for contingent liabilities, if any, as of the date any contingent liability becomes known to the General Partner, the reserves to be in the amounts that the General Partner in its sole discretion deems necessary or appropriate. The General Partner may increase or reduce any reserves from time to time by amounts as it in its sole discretion deems necessary or appropriate. The amount of any reserve, or any increase or decrease in a reserve, will be proportionately charged or credited to the Capital Accounts of those Persons who or that are Partners at the time the reserve is created, or increased or decreased, except that if any individual reserve item, adjusted by any increase in the item, exceeds the lesser of $500,000 or 1% of the aggregate value of the Capital Accounts of all of those Partners, then the amount of the reserve, increase or decrease may instead, at the discretion of the General Partner, be charged or credited to those Persons who or that were Partners at the time, as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, of the act or omission giving rise to the contingent liability for which the reserve was established, increased or decreased in proportion to their Capital Accounts.

(b) If any amount is required by Section 5.7 of this Agreement to be charged or credited to a Person who or that is no longer a Partner, the amount will be paid by or to the party, in cash, with interest from the date on which the General Partner determines that the charge or credit is required. In the case of a charge, the former Partner will be obligated to pay as a Capital Contribution the amount of the charge, plus interest as provided in this Section 5.7, to the Partnership on demand, except that (1) in no event will a former Partner be obligated to make a payment exceeding the amount of the Partner’s Capital Account at the time to which the charge relates and (2) no demand will be made after the expiration of three years from the date on which

the Person ceased to be a Partner. To the extent that a former Partner fails to pay to the Partnership, in full, any amount required to be charged to the former Partner under Section 5.7 of this Agreement, the deficiency will be charged proportionately to the Capital Accounts of the Partners at the time of the act or omission giving rise to the charge to the extent feasible, and otherwise proportionately to the Capital Accounts of the current Partners.

5.7. ALLOCATION TO AVOID CAPITAL ACCOUNT DEFICITS

To the extent that any debits under Sections 5.4 through 5.6 of this Agreement would reduce the balance of the Capital Account of any Limited Partner below zero, that portion of any such debits will be allocated instead to the Capital Account of the General Partner. Any credits in any subsequent Fiscal Period that otherwise would be allocable under Sections 5.4 through 5.6 of this Agreement to the Capital Account of any Limited Partner previously affected by the application of this Section 5.7 will instead be allocated to the Capital Account of the General Partner in amounts necessary to offset all previous debits attributable to the Limited Partner, made in accordance with this Section 5.7, that have not been recovered.

5.8. TAX ALLOCATIONS

For each taxable year of the Partnership, items of income, deduction, gain, loss or credit will be allocated for income tax purposes among the Partners in a manner so as to reflect equitably amounts credited or debited to each Partner’s Capital Account for the current and prior taxable years (or relevant portions of those years). Allocations under this Section 5.8 will be made in accordance with the principles of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code, and in conformity with Treasury Regulations promulgated under these Sections, or the successor provisions to such Sections and Regulations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Partnership will allocate to the Partners those gains or income necessary to satisfy the “qualified income offset” requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). If the Partnership realizes net capital gains for U.S. Federal income tax purposes for any taxable year during or as of the end of which one or more Positive Basis Partners (as defined in this Section 5.8) withdraw from the Partnership under Article IV or VI of this Agreement, the General Partner may elect to allocate net gains as follows: (a) to allocate net gains among Positive Basis Partners, in proportion to the Positive Basis (as defined in this Section 5.8) of each Positive Basis Partner, until either the full amount of the net gains has been so allocated or the Positive Basis of each Positive Basis Partner has been eliminated, and (b) to allocate any net gains not so allocated to Positive Basis Partners to the other Partners in a manner that reflects equitably the amounts credited to the Partners’ Capital Accounts. If the Partnership realizes capital losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any fiscal year during or as of the end of which one or more Negative Basis Partners (as defined in this Section 5.8) withdraw from the Partnership under Article IV or VI of this Agreement, the General Partner may elect to allocate net losses as follows: (i) to allocate net losses among Negative Basis Partners, in proportion to the Negative Basis (as defined in this Section 5.8) of each Negative Basis Partner, until either the full amount of net losses will have been so allocated or the Negative Basis of each Negative Basis Partner has been eliminated, and (ii) to allocate any net losses not so allocated to Negative Basis Partners, to the other Partners in a manner that reflects equitably the amounts credited to the Partners’ Capital Accounts. As used in this Section 5.8, the term “Positive Basis” means, with respect to any Partner and as of any time of calculation, the amount by which the total of the Partners’ Capital Accounts as of that time exceeds the Partner’s “adjusted tax basis,” for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, in the Partner’s Interest in the Partnership as of that time (determined without regard to any adjustments made to the “adjusted tax basis” by reason of any Transfer or assignment of the Interest, including by reason of death). As used in this Section 5.8, the term “Positive Basis Partner” means any Partner who or that withdraws from the Partnership and who or that has a Positive Basis as of the effective date of the Partner’s withdrawal. As used in this Section 5.8, the term “Negative Basis” means, with respect to any Partner and as of any time of calculation, the amount by which the Partner’s “adjusted tax basis,” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the Partner’s Interest in the Partnership as of that time (determined without regard to any adjustments made to the “adjusted tax basis” by reason of any Transfer or assignment of the Interest, including by reason of death, and without regard to such Partner’s share of the liabilities of the Partnership under section 752 of the Code) exceeds the Partner’s Capital Account as of such time. As used in this Section 5.8, the term “Negative Basis Partner” means any Partner who or that withdraws from the Partnership and who or that has a Negative Basis as of the effective date of the Partner’s withdrawal.

5.9. DISTRIBUTIONS

(a) The General Partner may cause the Partnership to make distributions in cash or in kind at any time to all of the Partners on a proportionate basis in accordance with the Partners’ Investment Percentages.

(b) The General Partner may withhold taxes from any distribution to any Partner to the extent required by the Code or any other applicable law. For purposes of this Agreement, any taxes so withheld by the Partnership with respect to any amount distributed by the Partnership to any Partner will be deemed to be a distribution or payment to the Partner, reducing the amount otherwise distributable to the Partner under this Agreement and reducing the Capital Account of the Partner. Neither the General Partner nor the Directors will be obligated to apply for or obtain a reduction of or exemption from withholding tax on behalf of any Partner that may be eligible for reduction or exemption. To the extent that a Partner claims to be entitled to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, a withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, or otherwise, the Partner will furnish the Partnership with any information and forms that the Partner may be required to complete if necessary to comply with any and all laws and regulations governing the obligations of withholding tax agents. Each Partner represents and warrants that any information and forms furnished by the Partner will be true and accurate and agrees to indemnify the Partnership and each of the Partners from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities costs and expenses resulting from the filing of inaccurate or incomplete information or forms relating to the withholding taxes (including legal or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses).

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership will not repurchase any Interest or portion of an Interest or make a distribution to any Partner on account of the Partner’s Interest or portion of an Interest, if such repurchase or distribution would violate the Delaware Act or other applicable law.

ARTICLE VI

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

6.1 DISSOLUTION

(a) The Partnership will be dissolved if at any time it has no Limited Partners or upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(1)	upon the affirmative vote to dissolve the Partnership by both (A) a majority of the Directors (including the vote of a majority of the Independent Directors) and (B) Partners holding at least three-fifths of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Partners;

(2)

upon either of: (A) an election by the General Partner to dissolve the Partnership, which election the General Partner may make in its absolute discretion following the third anniversary of the Closing Date, without being required to give any reason therefor, or (B) a General Partner’s ceasing to be a General Partner in accordance with Section 4.1 of this Agreement (other than in conjunction with a Transfer of the Interest of a General Partner in accordance with Section 4.3 of this Agreement to a Person who or that is admitted as a substituted General Partner under Section 2.6(a) of this Agreement), unless, as to the event described in clause (B) of this Section 6.1(a)(2), (i) the Partnership has at least one other General Partner who or that is authorized to and does carry on the business of the Partnership, or (ii) both the Directors and Partners holding not less than three-fifths of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Partners elect within 60 days after the event to continue the

business of the Partnership and a Person to be admitted to the Partnership, effective as of the date of the event, as an additional General Partner who has agreed to make the contributions to the capital of the Partnership required to be made under Section 5.1(c) of this Agreement;

(3)	upon the failure of Partners to approve successor Directors at a meeting called by the General Partner in accordance with Section 2.11(c) of this Agreement when no Director remains to continue the business of the Partnership; or

(4)	as otherwise required by operation of law.

Dissolution of the Partnership will be effective on the later of the day on which the event giving rise to the dissolution occurs or, to the extent permitted by the Delaware Act, the conclusion of any applicable 60-day period during which the Directors and Partners elect to continue the business of the Partnership as provided in Section 6.1(a)(2), but the Partnership will not terminate until the assets of the Partnership have been liquidated in accordance with Section 6.2 of this Agreement and the Certificate has been canceled.

(b) Except as provided in Section 6.1(a) of this Agreement or in the Delaware Act, the death, adjudicated incompetence, dissolution, termination, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, sale of substantially all of the stock or assets of, or other change in the ownership or nature of a Partner, the admission to the Partnership of a new Partner, the withdrawal of a Partner from the Partnership, or the Transfer by a Partner of the Partner’s Interest or a portion of the Interest to a third party will not cause the Partnership to dissolve.

6.2. LIQUIDATION OF ASSETS

(a) Upon the dissolution of the Partnership as provided in Section 6.1 of this Agreement, the General Partner will promptly liquidate the business and administrative affairs of the Partnership, except that if the General Partner is unable to perform this function, a liquidator elected by Partners holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Partners and whose fees and expenses will be paid by the Partnership will promptly liquidate the business and administrative affairs of the Partnership. Net Profit and Net Loss during the period of liquidation will be allocated in accordance with Article V of this Agreement. Subject to the Delaware Act, the proceeds from liquidation (after establishment of appropriate reserves for all claims and obligations, including all contingent, conditional or unmatured claims and obligations in an amount that the General Partner or liquidator deems appropriate in its sole discretion as applicable) will be distributed in the following manner:

(1)

the debts of the Partnership, other than debts, liabilities or obligations to Limited Partners, and the expenses of liquidation (including legal and accounting fees and expenses incurred in connection with the liquidation), up to and including the date on which distribution of the Partnership’s assets to the Partners has been completed, will first be paid on a proportionate basis;

(2)	any debts, liabilities or obligations owing to the Limited Partners will be paid next in their order of seniority and on a proportionate basis; and

(3)	the Partners are paid next on a proportionate basis the positive balances of their Capital Accounts after giving effect to all allocations to be made to the Partners’ Capital Accounts for the Fiscal Period ending on the date of the distributions under this Section 6.2(a)(3).

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.2, upon dissolution of the Partnership, subject to the Delaware Act and the priorities set out in Section 6.2(a) of this Agreement, the General Partner or liquidator may distribute ratably in kind any assets of the Partnership. If any in-kind distribution is to be made under this Section 6.2(b), (1) the assets distributed in kind will be valued in accordance with Section 7.3 of this Agreement as of the actual date of their distribution and charged as so valued

and distributed against amounts to be paid under Section 6.2(a) of this Agreement, and (2) any profit or loss attributable to property distributed in kind will be included in the Net Profit or Net Loss for the Fiscal Period ending on the date of the distribution. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner may compel a Partner to accept a distribution of any asset in kind from the Partnership even if the percentage of the asset distributed to the Partner exceeds a percentage of the asset that is equal to the percentage in which the Partner shares in distributions from the Partnership.

ARTICLE VII

ACCOUNTING, VALUATIONS AND BOOKS AND RECORDS

7.1 ACCOUNTING AND REPORTS

(a) The Partnership will adopt for tax accounting purposes any accounting method that the General Partner decides in its sole discretion is in the best interests of the Partnership. The Partnership’s accounts will be maintained in U.S. currency.

(b) After the end of each taxable year of the Partnership, the Partnership will furnish to Partners information regarding the operation of the Partnership and the Partners’ Interests as is necessary for Partners to complete U.S. Federal and state income tax or information returns and any other tax information required by U.S. Federal or state law.

(c) Except as otherwise required by the 1940 Act, or as may otherwise be permissible under other applicable law, within 60 days after the close of the period for which a report required under this Section 7.1 is being made, the Partnership will furnish to each Limited Partner a semiannual report and an annual report containing the information required by the 1940 Act. The Partnership will cause financial statements contained in each annual report furnished under this Section 7.1 to be accompanied by a certificate of independent public accountants based upon an audit performed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Partnership may furnish to each Partner any other periodic reports the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate in its discretion.

(d) The General Partner will notify the Directors of any change in the holders of interests of the General Partner within a reasonable time after the change.

7.2. DETERMINATIONS BY GENERAL PARTNER

(a) All matters concerning the determination and allocation among the Partners of the amounts to be determined and allocated pursuant to Article V of this Agreement, including any taxes on those amounts and accounting procedures applicable with respect to those amounts, will be determined by the General Partner unless specifically and expressly otherwise provided for by the provisions of this Agreement or as required by law. Any such determinations and allocations will be final and binding on all of the Partners.

(b) The General Partner may make any adjustments to the computation of Net Profit and/or Net Loss, or any components (withholding any items of income, gain, loss or deduction) constituting Net Profit and/or Net Loss as the General Partner deems appropriate to reflect fairly and accurately the financial results of the Partnership and the intended allocation of Net Profit and/or Net Loss among the Partners.

7.3. VALUATION OF ASSETS

(a) Except as may be required by the 1940 Act, the Directors will value or cause to have valued any Securities or other assets and liabilities of the Partnership as of the close of business on the last day of each Fiscal Period and at such other times as the Directors may determine, in their discretion, in accordance with valuation procedures as established from time to time by the

Directors. Assets of the Partnership that are invested in an Investment Fund managed by a Sub-adviser will be valued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement or other document governing the operation of the Investment Fund. Assets of the Partnership invested in an Investment Fund not managed by a Sub-adviser will be valued at fair value, which ordinarily will be the net redemption value determined by the Investment Fund’s Investment Manager in accordance with the policies established by the Investment Manager. In determining the value of the assets of the Partnership, no value will be placed on the goodwill or name of the Partnership, or the office records, files, statistical data or any similar intangible assets of the Partnership not normally reflected in the Partnership’s accounting records. Any items of income earned but not received, expenses incurred but not yet paid, liabilities fixed or contingent, and any other prepaid expenses to the extent not otherwise reflected in the books of account, and the value of options or commitments to purchase or sell Securities or commodities pursuant to agreements entered into prior to the valuation date will, however, be taken into account in determining the value of the Partnership’s assets.

(b) Subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, the value of Securities and other assets of the Partnership and the net asset value of the Partnership as a whole determined pursuant to this Section 7.3 will be conclusive and binding on all of the Partners and all Persons claiming through or under them.

ARTICLE VIII

(1)	increase the obligation of a Partner to make any Capital Contribution,

(2)	reduce the Capital Account of a Partner other than in accordance with Article V of this Agreement, or

(3)	modify the events causing the dissolution of the Partnership,

may be made only if (A) the written consent of each Partner adversely affected by the proposed action is obtained prior to the effectiveness of the action or (B) the amendment does not become effective until (i) each Limited Partner has received written notice of the amendment and (ii) any Limited Partner objecting to the amendment has been afforded a reasonable opportunity (under procedures prescribed by the General Partner in its sole discretion) to tender the Partner’s entire Interest for repurchase by the Partnership. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or the provisions of Subsection 8.1(c), any amendment that would alter the provisions of Section 8.1 relating to the material amendment of this Agreement or the provisions of Section 3.10 of this Agreement relating to indemnification may be made only with the unanimous consent of the Partners and, to the extent required by the 1940 Act, approval of a majority of the Directors (and, if so required, a majority of the Independent Directors).

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.1(a) and 8.1(b) of this Agreement, the General Partner, at any time without the consent of any other Partner, may:

(1)	restate this Agreement, together with any amendments to this Agreement that have been duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement to incorporate the amendments in a single, integrated document;

(2)

amend this Agreement (other than with respect to the matters described in Section 8.1(b) of this Agreement) to change the name of the Partnership in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof or to effect compliance with any applicable law or regulation, including, without limitation, to satisfy the requirements of applicable U.S. banking law or regulation, or to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision of this Agreement that may be inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement, so long as the action does not adversely affect the rights of any Partner in any material respect; and

(3)

amend this Agreement to make any changes necessary or desirable, based on advice of legal counsel to the Partnership, to assure the Partnership’s continuing eligibility to be classified for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a Partnership that is not treated as a corporation for tax purposes under the Code; subject, however, to the limitation that any material amendment to this Agreement under Section 8.1(c)(2) or (3) of this Agreement will be valid only if approved by a majority of the Directors (including the vote of a majority of the Independent Directors, if required by the 1940 Act).

(d) The General Partner will give prior written notice of any proposed amendment to this Agreement (other than any amendment of the type contemplated by Section 8.1(c)(1) of this Agreement) to each Partner, which notice sets out (1) the text of the proposed amendment or (2) a summary of the amendment and a statement that the text of the amendment will be furnished to any Partner upon request.

8.2. SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY

(a) Each Partner irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the General Partner and each of the Directors, acting severally, and any liquidator of the Partnership’s assets appointed pursuant to Section 6.2 of this Agreement with full power of substitution, the true and lawful representatives and attorneys-in-fact of, and in the name, place and stead of, the Partner, with the power from time to time to make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to, verify, deliver, record, file and/or publish:

(1)	any amendment to this Agreement;

(2)	any amendment to the Certificate, including, without limitation, any such amendment required to reflect any amendments to this Agreement, and including, without limitation, an amendment to effectuate any change in the membership of the Partnership; and

(3)

all other such instruments, documents and certificates that, in the view of legal counsel to the Partnership, from time to time may be required by the laws of the United States of America, the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction in which the General Partner determines that the Partnership should do business, or any political subdivision or agency of any such jurisdiction, or that legal counsel may deem necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement and continue the valid existence and business of the Partnership as a limited partnership under the Delaware Act.

(b) Each Partner is aware that the terms of this Agreement permit certain amendments to this Agreement to be effected and certain other actions to be taken or omitted by or with respect to the Partnership without the Partner’s consent. Each Partner agrees that if an amendment to the Certificate or this Agreement or any action by or with respect to the Partnership is taken in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, notwithstanding any objection that the Partner may assert with respect to the action, the attorneys-in-fact appointed under this Agreement are authorized and empowered, with full power of substitution, to exercise the authority granted in this Section 8.2 in any manner that may be necessary or appropriate to permit the amendment to be made or action lawfully taken or omitted. Each Partner is fully aware that each Partner will rely on the effectiveness of this special power of attorney with a view to the orderly administration of the affairs of the Partnership.

(c) The power of attorney contemplated by this Section 8.2 is a special power of attorney and is coupled with an interest in favor of the General Partner and each of the Directors, acting severally, and any liquidator of the Partnership’s assets appointed under Section 6.2 of this Agreement, and as such the power of attorney:

(1)	will be irrevocable and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the subsequent death or incapacity of any Person granting the power of attorney, regardless of whether the Partnership, the General Partner, the Directors or any liquidator has had notice of the death or incapacity; and

(2)

will survive the delivery of a Transfer by a Partner of the whole or any portion of the Partner’s Interest, except that, when the transferee of an Interest or portion of an Interest has been approved by the General Partner for admission to the Partnership as a substituted Partner, the power of attorney given by the transferor will survive the delivery of the assignment for the sole purpose of enabling the General Partner, the Directors or any liquidator to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to effect the substitution.

8.3. NOTICES

Notices that may or are required to be provided under this Agreement will be made to a Partner by hand delivery, regular mail (registered or certified mail return receipt requested in the case of notice to the General Partner), commercial courier service, telecopier, or electronic mail (with a confirmation copy by registered or certified mail in the case of notices to the General Partner by telecopier or electronic mail), and will be addressed to the Partner at his, her or its address as set out in the books and records of the Partnership (or to any other address as may be designated by any Partner by notice addressed to the General Partner in the case of notice given to any Partner, and to each of the Partners in the case of notice given to the General Partner). Notices will be deemed to have been provided when delivered by hand, on the date indicated as the date of receipt on a return receipt or when received if sent by regular mail, commercial courier service, telecopier or by electronic mail. A document that is not a notice and that is required to be provided under this Agreement by any party to another party may be delivered by any reasonable means.

8.4 AGREEMENT BINDING UPON SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Partners and their respective heirs, successors, assigns, executors, trustees or other legal representatives, but the rights and obligations of the Partners may not be Transferred or delegated except as provided in this Agreement, and any attempted Transfer or delegation of those rights and obligations that is not made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be void.

8.5 CHOICE OF LAW; ARBITRATION

(a) Notwithstanding the location at which this Agreement is executed by any of the Partners, the Partners expressly agree that all the terms and provisions of this Agreement are governed by and will be construed under the laws of the State of Delaware, including the Delaware Act, without regard to the conflict of law principles of the State of Delaware.

(b) To the extent such action is consistent with the provisions of the 1940 Act and any other applicable law, except as provided in Section 8.10(b) of this Agreement, each Partner agrees to submit all controversies arising between or among Partners or one or more Partners and the Partnership in connection with the Partnership or its businesses or concerning any transaction, dispute or the construction, performance or breach of this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the Partnership, whether entered into prior to, on or subsequent to the date of this Agreement, to arbitration in accordance with the provisions set out in this Section 8.5. EACH PARTNER UNDERSTANDS THAT ARBITRATION IS FINAL AND BINDING ON THE PARTNERS AND THAT THE PARTNERS IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT ARE WAIVING THEIR RIGHTS TO SEEK REMEDIES IN COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL.

(c) Controversies will be finally settled by, and only by, arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) to the fullest extent permitted by law. The place of arbitration will be Houston, Texas. Any arbitration under this Section 8.5 will be conducted before a panel of three arbitrators. The Partner or Partners initiating arbitration under this Section 8.5 will appoint one arbitrator in the demand for arbitration. The Partner or Partners against whom or which arbitration is sought will jointly appoint one arbitrator within 30 Business Days after notice from the AAA of the filing of the demand for arbitration. The two arbitrators nominated by the Partners will attempt to agree on a third arbitrator within 30 Business Days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If the two arbitrators fail to agree on the third arbitrator within the 30-day period, then the AAA will appoint the third arbitrator within 30 Business Days following the expiration of the 30-day period. Any award rendered by the arbitrators will be final and binding on the Partners, and judgment upon the award may be entered in the supreme court of the state of New York and/or the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, or any other court having jurisdiction over the award or having jurisdiction over the Partners or their assets. The arbitration agreement contained in this Section 8.5 will not be construed to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to grant provisional relief (including by injunction or order of attachment) in aid of arbitration proceedings or enforcement of an award. In the event of arbitration as provided in this Section 8.5, the arbitrators will be governed by and will apply the substantive (but not procedural) law of Delaware, to the exclusion of the principles of the conflicts of law of Delaware. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the procedures set out in the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA. If those rules are silent with respect to a particular matter, the procedure will be as agreed by the Partners, or in the absence of agreement among or between the Partners, as established by the arbitrators. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 8.5(c) will be construed to the maximum extent possible to comply with the laws of the State of Delaware, including the Uniform Arbitration Act (10 Del. C. § 5701 et seq.) (the “Delaware Arbitration Act”). If, nevertheless, it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision or wording of this Section 8.5(c), including any rules of the AAA, are invalid or unenforceable under the Delaware Arbitration Act or other applicable law, such invalidity will not invalidate all of this Section 8.5(c). In that case, this Section 8.5(c) will be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it valid or enforceable within the requirements of the Delaware Arbitration Act or other applicable law, and, in the event such term or provision cannot be so limited, this Section 8.5(c) will be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provision.

8.6. NOT FOR BENEFIT OF CREDITORS

The provisions of this Agreement are intended only for the regulation of relations among past, existing and future Partners, their assignees and the Partnership. This Agreement is not intended for the benefit of non-Partner creditors and, except to the extent provided in Section 3.10 of this Agreement, no rights are granted to non-Partner creditors under this Agreement.

8.7. CONSENTS

Any and all consents, agreements or approvals provided for or permitted by this Agreement (including minutes of any meeting) must be in writing and a signed copy of any such consent, agreement or approval will be filed and kept with the books of the Partnership.

8.8. MERGER AND CONSOLIDATION

(a) The Partnership may merge or consolidate with or into one or more limited partnerships formed under the Delaware Act or other business entities under an agreement of merger or consolidation that has been approved in the manner contemplated by the Delaware Act.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an agreement of merger or consolidation approved in accordance with the Delaware Act may, to the extent permitted by the Delaware Act, (1) effect any amendment to this Agreement, (2) effect the adoption of a new Partnership agreement for the Partnership if it is the surviving or resulting limited partnership in the merger or consolidation, or (3) provide that the Partnership agreement of any other constituent Partnership to the merger or consolidation (including a limited partnership formed for the purpose of consummating the merger or consolidation) will be the Partnership agreement of the surviving or resulting limited partnership.

(c) The Partnership may convert to another Delaware business entity in accordance with the Delaware Act upon the approval of the Partners representing a majority (as defined in the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) of the outstanding voting securities of the Partnership.

8.9. PRONOUNS

All pronouns used in this Agreement will be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the Person or Persons, firm or entity may require in the context in which they are used.

8.10. CONFIDENTIALITY

(a) A Limited Partner may obtain from the General Partner, upon reasonable demand for any purpose reasonably related to the Limited Partner’s Interest in the Partnership, information regarding the affairs of the Partnership as is just and reasonable under the Delaware Act, subject to reasonable standards (including standards governing the information and documents to be furnished, at what time and location and at whose expense) established by the General Partner in its sole discretion.

(b) Each Limited Partner agrees in executing this Agreement that, except as required by applicable law or any regulatory body, the Limited Partner will not divulge, furnish or make accessible to any other Person the name or address (whether business, residence or mailing) of any Limited Partner (collectively, “Confidential Information”) without the prior written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion.

(c) Each Partner recognizes that in the event that this Section 8.10 is breached by any Partner or any of its principals, Partners, members, directors, officers, employees or agents or any of the Partner’s Affiliates, including any of the Affiliate’s principals, Partners, members, directors, officers, employees or agents, irreparable injury may result to the non-breaching Partners and the Partnership. In recognition of that irreparable injury, any non-breaching Partner may have, in addition to any and all other remedies at law or in equity to which the non-breaching Partner and the Partnership may be entitled, the right to obtain equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief, to prevent any disclosure of Confidential Information, plus reasonable attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses incurred in connection with obtaining the equitable relief. If any non-breaching Partner or the Partnership (“Initiating Non-Breaching Party”) determines that any other Partner or any of that Partner’s principals, Partners, members, directors, officers, employees or agents or any of the Partner’s Affiliates, including any of the Affiliates’ principals, Partners, members, directors, officers, employees or agents, should be enjoined from or required to take any action to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information, each of the other non-breaching Partners agrees to join the non-breaching Initiating Non-Breaching Party in pursuing injunctive relief in a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

(d) The General Partner will have the right to keep confidential from the Limited Partners, for any period of time as the General Partner deems reasonable in its sole discretion, any information that the General Partner reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes is not in the best interest of the Partnership or could damage the Partnership or its business or that the Partnership is required by law or by agreement with a third party to keep confidential.

8.11. CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

Each Limited Partner or transferee of an Interest or a portion of an Interest from a Limited Partner who or that is admitted to the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement will certify, upon admission to the Partnership and at any other time as the General Partner may request, whether the Limited Partner or transferee is a “United States Person” within the meaning of the Code on forms to be provided by the Partnership, and will notify the Partnership within 30 days of any change in the status of the Limited Partner or transferee. Any Limited Partner or transferee who or that fails to provide certification when requested to do so by the General Partner may be treated as a non-United States Person for purposes of U.S. Federal tax withholding.

8.12. SEVERABILITY

Each Partner agrees that the Partner intends that, if any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the Partnership, the General Partner or the Adviser not to be enforceable in the manner set out in this Agreement, then the provision should be enforceable to the maximum extent possible under applicable law. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidation or unenforceability will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement (or portion of the provision).

8.13. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Partners pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining to that subject matter.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including Section 8.1, each Partner, in executing this Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that the General Partner, on its own behalf or on behalf of the Partnership, without the approval of the Limited Partners or any other Person, may enter into a written agreement or agreements with any other Partner, executed contemporaneously with the admission of the other Partner to the Partnership, affecting or modifying the terms of, or establishing rights under, this Agreement or any subscription agreement. Each Partner agrees that any terms contained in any such other agreement with another Partner will govern with respect to the other Partner notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement or any subscription agreement, and that the Partner will have no rights in respect of those granted in favor of such other Partner.

8.14. DISCRETION

To the fullest extent permitted by law, whenever in this Agreement a Person is permitted or required to make a decision (a) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Person will be entitled to consider only those interests and factors as he, she or it desires, including his, her or its own interests, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Partnership or the Limited Partners, or (b) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, then the Person will act under the express standard and will not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated by this Agreement or by relevant provisions of law or in equity or otherwise.

8.15. CONFLICTS

The Partners acknowledge and agree that the General Partner and its Affiliates may engage in activities in which their respective interests or the interests of their clients may conflict with the interests of the Partnership or the Limited Partners, and that the resolution of such conflicts may not always be resolved by the General Partner or its Affiliates in favor of the Partnership or the Limited Partners.

8.16. COUNTERPARTS

This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, all of which together will constitute one agreement binding on all Partners, notwithstanding that all the Partners have not signed the same counterpart.

8.17. HEADINGS

The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise affect their construction or effect.
