From time to time, the books and records of the Fund shall be amended to reflect the name, address and Capital Contribution of each Limited Partner (including, as permitted by this Agreement, adding the name, address and Capital Contribution of each additional Limited Partner who is admitted or becomes a Substituted Limited Partner pursuant to a Transfer of Interests and deleting the name, address and Capital Contribution of Persons ceasing to be Limited Partners).

(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Fund is authorized to issue limited partnership interests in the Fund designated as “Interests,” which shall constitute an unlimited amount of limited partnership interests under the Act. Other than as set forth in this Agreement, each Interest shall be identical in all respects with each other Interest. The relative rights, powers, preferences, duties, liabilities and obligations of Limited Partners shall be as set forth herein.

The Interests issued to Limited Partners shall be listed in the limited partnership records of the Fund, which shall be amended from time to time by the Fund as required to reflect issuances of Interests to new Limited Partners, changes in the value of Interests held by Limited Partners and to reflect the addition or cessation of Limited Partners.

Subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act, the Fund is authorized to issue options or warrants to purchase Interests and other securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Interests, on such terms as may be determined by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof.

(c) Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, the issued and outstanding Interests shall not be represented by certificates.

3.3 Changes to Capital Structure. Additional Persons may be admitted as Limited Partners, and additional Interests may be created and issued from time to time: the terms of admission or issuance may provide for the creation of different classes, groups or series of limited partnership interests having different rights, powers and duties, which rights, powers and duties may be senior, pari passu or junior to the rights, powers and duties of the Interests, as determined by the Board of Directors. Any creation of any new class, group or series of limited partnership interests or other equity interests shall be reflected in a supplemental exhibit to this Agreement indicating such rights, powers and duties.

3.4 No Management Responsibility. No Limited Partner, in such capacity, shall participate in the management or control of the business of or transact any business for the Fund, but may exercise the voting rights and powers of a Limited Partner set forth in this Agreement. All management responsibility is vested in the General Partner or any person delegated such responsibility. The Limited Partners hereby consent to the taking of any action by the General Partner and Appropriate Officers contemplated under this Agreement or otherwise permitted under the Act.

3.5 No Authority to Act. No Limited Partner, in such capacity, shall have the power to represent, act for, sign for, or bind the Fund, except for the General Partner to the extent expressly set forth herein. All authority to act on behalf of the Fund is vested in the General Partner. The Limited Partners consent to the exercise by the General Partner of the powers conferred on them under this Agreement or otherwise permitted under the Act.

3.6 No Preemptive Rights. Holders of Interests will have no preemptive rights with respect to the issuance of any limited partnership or other equity interest in the Fund or any other securities of the Fund convertible into, or carrying rights or options to purchase any such limited partnership or other equity interest.

3.7 Redemption or Repurchase Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Fund shall not redeem or repurchase any Limited Partner’s Interest and no Limited Partner shall have the right to withdraw from the Fund or to receive any return of any Capital Contribution.

3.8 Limited Partner Meetings. Unless required by the Act or other applicable law, the Fund is not required to hold annual or other regular meetings of Limited Partners. Special meetings of the Limited Partners may be called to consider any matter requiring the consent of all or any of the Limited Partners pursuant to this Agreement and as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors. Special meetings of the Limited Partners may be called by the Board of Directors or by a Supermajority of Limited Partners.

3.9 Place of Limited Partners’ Meetings. The Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or outside of the State of Delaware, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the Directors. If no designation is made, the place of meeting shall be the principal executive offices of the Fund. Limited Partners may participate in a meeting in person, by proxy or by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear and speak to each other at the same time, and any such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person of such Limited Partner at such meeting.

3.10 Notice of Limited Partners’ Meetings.

(a) Written notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose for which the meeting is called shall be delivered not less than ten days nor more than 90 days before the date of the meeting, either personally, by facsimile, electronic mail or by postal mail, by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or Limited Partners calling the meeting to each Limited Partner of record entitled to vote at such meeting.

(b) Notice to Limited Partners, if mailed by post, shall be deemed delivered as to any Limited Partner when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the Limited Partner, with postage prepaid, but, if two successive letters mailed to the last-known address of any Limited Partner are returned as undeliverable, no further notices to such Limited Partner shall be necessary until another address for such Limited Partner is made known to the Fund. Notice to Limited Partners, if by facsimile or by electronic mail, shall be deemed delivered upon receipt of a confirmation of transmission when delivered.

(c) At an adjourned meeting, the Fund may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting without additional notice.

3.11 Waiver of Notice.

(a) When any notice is required to be given to any Limited Partner of the Fund under the provisions of this Agreement, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the Person entitled to such notice, whether before, at, or after the time stated therein, shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice.

(b) By attending a meeting, a Limited Partner:

(i) Waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of such meeting unless the Limited Partner, at the beginning of the meeting, objects to the holding of the meeting or the transacting of business at the meeting; and

(ii) Waives objection to consideration at such meeting of a particular matter not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice unless the Limited Partner objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

3.12 Record Dates. For the purpose of determining the Limited Partners who are entitled to vote or act at any meeting or any adjournment thereof, or who are entitled to participate in any distribution, or for the purpose of any other action, the Directors may fix a date and time not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of Limited Partners or other action as the date and time of record for the determination of Limited Partners entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof or to be treated as Limited Partners of record for purposes of such other action, and any Limited Partner who was a Limited Partner at the date and time so fixed shall be entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof or to be treated as a Limited Partner of record for purposes of such other action, even though he has since that date and time disposed of his Interest, and no Limited Partner becoming such after that date and time shall be so entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof or to be treated as a Limited Partner of record for purposes of such other action.

3.13 Voting Record. The Person having charge of the limited partnership records of the Fund shall make, at least two days before such meeting of Limited Partners, a complete record of the Limited Partners entitled to vote at each meeting of Limited Partners or any adjournment thereof, with the address of each. The record, for a period of two days prior to such meeting, shall be kept on file at the principal executive offices of the Fund, and shall be subject to inspection by any Limited Partner for any proper purpose germane to the meeting at any time during usual business hours; provided, however, that such Limited Partner shall have made a demand to view such records not less than five business days after receipt of notice of such meeting, properly delivered to the Fund and setting forth in reasonable detail the purpose for which such Limited Partner desires to view such information. The original limited partnership records shall be the prima facie evidence as to who are the Limited Partners entitled to examine the record or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of Limited Partners.

3.14 Voting; Quorum of Limited Partners; Vote Required. Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Limited Partner shall be entitled to vote its Interest upon all matters upon which Limited Partners have the right to vote based upon the Limited Partner’s Percentage Interest as of the applicable record date. The presence, in person or by proxy, of Limited Partners owning more than 33-1/3% of the Interests at the applicable record date for the action to be taken constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy, of the owners of more than 50% of the Interests then outstanding and represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the Limited Partners, unless the vote of a greater proportion or number or voting by classes is required by the Act, the Investment Company Act or this Agreement. If a quorum is not represented at any meeting of the Limited Partners, such meeting may be adjourned by an Appropriate Officer or the Directors.

The Limited Partners shall have the following voting rights:

(a) to the extent required by the Investment Company Act or as otherwise provided for herein, the right to elect members of the Board of Directors by the Majority In Interest of the Limited Partners;

(b) as provided herein, the right to remove Directors for Cause by the affirmative vote of a Supermajority of Limited Partners at a meeting of Limited Partners duly called for such purpose;

(c) to the extent required by the Investment Company Act, the right to approve any proposed investment advisory agreement or to disapprove and terminate any such existing agreement by the affirmative vote of a 40 Act Majority of Limited Partners; provided, however, in the case of approval that such agreement is also approved by a majority of Directors who are not parties to such contract or “interested persons” of any such party as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act, as the same may be amended from time to time;

(d) to the extent required by the Investment Company Act, the right to ratify the appointment of the independent accountants of the Fund by the affirmative vote of more than 50% of the Interests then outstanding and represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote; provided, however, that such appointment is approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors;

(e) to the extent required by the Investment Company Act, the right to terminate the Fund’s independent accountants by the affirmative vote of a 40 Act Majority of Limited Partners;

(f) to the extent provided in Section 2.6 hereof, the right to approve the extension of the time of termination and dissolution of the Fund by the affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners;

(g) to the extent required by the Investment Company Act, the right to consent to the dissolution of the Fund pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof by the affirmative vote of the Majority In Interest of the Limited Partners;

(h) to the extent required by Section 13.2 hereof, the selection of a liquidator by the affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners;

(i) to the extent required by Section 15.1 hereof, the right to approve certain amendments to this Agreement by the affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners; and

(j) so long as the Fund is subject to the provisions of the Investment Company Act, the right to approve any other matters that the Investment Company Act requires to be approved by the Limited Partners by the affirmative vote of Limited Partners as specified in the Investment Company Act.

3.15 No Consent Required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no vote, approvals, or other consent shall be required of the Limited Partners to amend this Agreement in any of the following respects: (i) to reflect any change in the amount or character of the Capital Commitment or Capital Contribution of any Limited Partner; (ii) to admit an additional Limited Partner or a Substituted Limited Partner or withdraw a Limited Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (iii) to correct any false or erroneous statement, or to make a change in any statement in order that such statement shall accurately represent the agreement among the Limited Partners in this Agreement; (iv) to reflect any change that is necessary to qualify the Fund as a limited partnership under the laws of any state; (v) to reflect any change in the name or principal place of business of the Fund; (vi) to make any other change or amendment that does not require the vote, approval or consent of Limited Partners under the Investment Company Act, the Act or expressly hereunder, provided that such change or amendment has been approved by a majority of the Board of Directors and a majority of the Disinterested Directors.

3.16 Limitations on Requirements for Consents. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, but subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act, in the event that counsel for the Fund or counsel designated by Limited Partners holding not less than 10% of the Interests owned by all Limited Partners shall have delivered to the Fund an opinion to the effect that either the existence of a particular consent right or particular consent rights, or the exercise thereof, will violate the provisions of the Act or the laws of the other jurisdictions in which the Fund is then formed or qualified, will adversely affect the limited liability of the Limited Partners, or will adversely affect the classification of the Fund as a partnership for federal or state income tax purposes, then notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Limited Partners shall no longer have such right, or shall not be entitled to exercise such right in the instant case, as the case may be.

3.17 Informal Action by Limited Partners. Any action that may be taken by Limited Partners at a meeting of Limited Partners may be taken without a meeting without prior notice and without a vote if consent in writing setting forth the action to be taken is signed by the Limited Partners holding not less than the minimum percentage of Interests that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all the Limited Partners were present and voted, with prompt written notice thereof delivered to all Limited Partners. Written consent by the Limited Partners has the same force and effect as a vote of such Limited Partners held at a duly held meeting of the Limited Partners and may be stated as such in any document.

(a) Each Limited Partner hereby represents and warrants to the Fund and each other Limited Partner as follows:

(i) In each case to the extent applicable, such Limited Partner is duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. All requisite actions necessary for the due authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Limited Partner have been duly taken.

(ii) Such Limited Partner has duly executed and delivered this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Limited Partner enforceable against such Limited Partner in accordance with its terms (except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws of general application and by the effect of general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered at law or in equity).

(iii) Such Limited Partner’s authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not and will not (i) conflict with, or result in a breach, default or violation of (A) to the extent applicable, the certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents of such Limited Partner, (B) any material contract or agreement to which that Limited Partner is a party or is otherwise subject, or (C) any law, order, judgment, decree, writ, injunction or arbitration award to which that Limited Partner is subject; or (ii) require any consent, approval, or authorization from filing, or registration with or notice to, any governmental authority or other Person, other than those that have already been obtained.

(iv) Such Limited Partner is familiar with the proposed business, financial condition, properties, operations and prospects of the Fund and the Master Fund, and has asked such questions and conducted such due diligence concerning such matters and concerning its acquisition of any Interest as it has desired to ask and conduct, and all such questions have been answered to its full satisfaction. Such Limited Partner has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Fund. Such Limited Partner understands that owning an Interest involves various risks, including the restrictions on transferability set forth in this Agreement, lack of any public market for such Interest, the risk of owning its Interest for an indefinite period of time and the risk of losing its entire investment in the Fund. Such Limited Partner is able to bear the economic risk of such investment; is acquiring its Interest for investment and solely for its own beneficial account and not with a view to or any present intention of directly or indirectly selling, transferring, offering to sell or transfer, participating in any distribution or otherwise disposing of all or a portion of its Interest.

(b) Each Limited Partner hereby indemnifies the Fund, the Master Fund, the General Partner and their respective Affiliates from and against and agrees to hold the Fund, the Master Fund, the General Partner and their respective Affiliates free and harmless from any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, settlements, compromises, awards, costs, expenses or other amounts (including without limitation any attorney fees, expert witness fees or related costs) arising out of or otherwise related to a breach of any of the representations and warranties of such Limited Partner as set forth in this Section 3.20.

(c) Such Limited Partner shall not transfer, sell, or offer to sell such Limited Partner’s Interest without compliance with the conditions and provisions of this Agreement;

(d) If such Limited Partner assigns all or any part of such Limited Partner’s Interest, then until such time as one or more assignees thereof are admitted to the Fund as a Substituted Limited Partner with respect to the Interest so assigned, the matters to which any holder thereof would covenant and agree if such holder were to execute this Agreement as a Limited Partner shall be and remain true; and

(e) Such Limited Partner shall notify the Fund immediately if any representations or warranties made herein or in any Subscription Agreement should be or become untrue.

ARTICLE IV.

MANAGEMENT OF FUND

4.1 Delegation to Board of Directors. The General Partner hereby irrevocably delegates to the Board of Directors, except for the right to execute documents on behalf of the Fund and to bind the Fund and except to the extent any such delegation is not permitted under the Act and so long as the Fund shall have Directors, their rights and powers to control the management and policies of the Fund, including the complete authority to oversee and to establish policies regarding the management, conduct and operation of the Fund’s business, and to do all things necessary and proper to carry out the objective and business of the Fund. The parties hereto intend that, to the fullest extent permitted by law and except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) each Director shall be vested with the same powers and authority on behalf of the Fund as are customarily vested in each director of a Delaware corporation and (ii) each Disinterested Director shall be vested with the same powers and authority on behalf of the Fund as are customarily vested in each director of a closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act that is organized as a Delaware corporation who is not an “interested person” of such company as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act. During any period in which the Fund shall have no Directors, the General Partner shall manage and control the Fund. Each Director shall be the agent of the General Partner but shall not, for any purpose, be a Partner. The General Partner retains only those rights, powers and duties that have not been delegated hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing delegation, the General Partner will not cease to be the general partner of the Fund and will continue to be liable as such; provided, however, that if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Investment Advisers LLC resigns as investment adviser to the Master Fund or is otherwise no longer serving as the investment adviser to the Master Fund, the General Partner will resign promptly as the general partner of the Fund and the Board of Directors will select a successor general partner of the Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall a Director be considered a general partner of the Fund by agreement, estoppel or otherwise as a result of the performance of his or her duties hereunder or otherwise. The Directors will not contribute to the capital of the Fund and will not have partnership interests in the Fund.

4.2 Board of Directors. The maximum number of Directors shall initially be set at six, and may be increased or decreased by action of the Board of Directors provided that at no time shall the number of Directors be set at less than three or more than ten. The Directors shall be set forth in Schedule A hereto or in the official records of the Fund. The Directors shall hold office until their successors are approved and elected, unless they are sooner removed pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof, or sooner resign pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof or sooner are incapacitated pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof, as the case may be. Directors may succeed themselves in office. No reduction in the number of Directors shall have the effect of removing any Director from office unless specially removed pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof at the time of such decrease. Subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act, the Board of Directors may designate successors to fill vacancies created by an authorized increase in the number of Directors, the resignation of a Director pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof, the removal of a member of the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof or the incapacity of a Director pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof. In the event that no Directors remain, the General Partner shall continue the business of the Fund and shall perform all duties of the Directors under this Agreement and shall as soon as practicable call a special meeting of Limited Partners for the purpose of approving and electing Directors. When Directors are subject to election by Limited Partners, Directors are elected by a plurality of the Interests voting at the meeting. Directors may, but need not be, admitted to the Fund as Limited Partners to act in their capacity as Directors.

4.3 Resignation by a Director. A Director may voluntarily resign from the Board of Directors upon the giving of notice thereof to the Fund, such resignation to take effect upon receipt of such notice by the Fund or such later date as set forth in such notice.

4.4 Removal of a Director; Designation of a Successor Director.

(a) Any Director may be removed either: (i) for Cause by the action of at least two-thirds of the remaining Directors; (ii) by failure to be re-elected by the Limited Partners at a meeting of Limited Partners duly called by the Directors for such purpose; or (iii) for Cause by the affirmative vote of a Supermajority of Limited Partners. In addition to the foregoing, a Director who is not a Disinterested Director may be removed by a majority of the remaining Directors in the event such Director is no longer an employee or officer of the General Partner or an Affiliate thereof. The removal of a Director shall in no way derogate from any rights or powers of such Director, or the exercise thereof, or the validity of any actions taken pursuant thereto, prior to the date of such removal.

(b) The remaining Directors shall designate a successor Director to fill any vacancy existing in the number of Directors fixed pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof resulting from removal of a Director; provided, however, that in the case of a Disinterested Director, only the remaining Disinterested Directors may designate a successor Disinterested Director. Any such successor Director shall hold office until his or her successor has been approved and duly elected.

(c) Any removal of a Director shall not affect any rights or liabilities of the removed Director that matured prior to such removal.

4.5 Incapacity of a Director.

(a) In the event of the Incapacity of a Director, the business of the Fund shall be continued by the remaining Directors. The remaining Directors shall, within 90 days, call a meeting of the Board of Directors for the purpose of designating a successor Director. Any such successor Director shall hold such office until his or her successor has been approved and elected by the Limited Partners. The Directors shall make such amendments to the certificate of formation and execute and file for recordation such amendments or other documents or instruments as are necessary and required by the Act or this Agreement to reflect the fact that such Incapacitated Director has ceased to be a Director and the appointment of such successor Director.

(b) In the event of the Incapacity of all Directors, an Appropriate Officer shall as promptly as practicable convene a meeting of Limited Partners for the purpose of electing new Directors nominated by the General Partner. Upon the Incapacity of a Director, the Director shall immediately cease to be a Director.

(c) Any such termination of a Director shall not affect any rights or liabilities of the Incapacitated Director that matured prior to such Incapacity.

4.6 Continuation. In the event of the withdrawal, removal, Incapacity or retirement of a Director, the Fund shall not be dissolved and the business of the Fund shall be continued by the remaining Directors.

4.7 Board of Directors Powers. Subject to the terms hereof, the Board of Directors shall have full and complete discretion in the management and control of the affairs of the Fund, shall make all decisions affecting Fund affairs and shall have all of the rights, powers and obligations of a General Partner under the Act and otherwise as provided by law. The Board of Directors shall provide overall guidance and supervision with respect to the operations of the Fund, shall perform all duties imposed on the directors of registered investment companies by the Investment Company Act, and shall monitor the activities of the Appropriate Officers, the General Partner and any administrator to the Fund and distributor of the Fund’s securities. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Board of Directors is hereby granted the right, power and authority to do on behalf of the Fund all things which, in its sole judgment, are necessary or appropriate to manage the Fund’s affairs and fulfill the purposes of the Fund.

Such other officers as the Board of Directors may choose shall perform such duties and have such powers as from time to time may be assigned to them by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President. The Board of Directors may delegate to any other officer of the Fund the power to choose such other officers and to prescribe their respective duties and powers.

ARTICLE VII.

CAPITAL COMMITMENTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS

7.1 Capital Commitments. Each Limited Partner, upon admission to the Fund, shall be deemed to have made a “Capital Commitment” to the Fund equal to the amount specified as such in, or otherwise determined in accordance with, the Subscription Agreement relating to such Limited Partner. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Capital Commitment of a Limited Partner: (i) shall represent the maximum aggregate amount of cash and property that such Limited Partner shall be required to contribute to the capital of the Fund; and (ii) shall not be changed during the term of the Fund.

7.2 Payments at Closings.

(a) The Fund shall have one or more closings (each a “Closing”) at which time Persons may be admitted as Limited Partners of the Fund pursuant to the terms hereof and existing Limited Partners may be offered the opportunity to increase their Capital Commitments. The first Closing (the “Initial Closing”) shall occur on such date as determined by the General Partner and all subsequent Closings (each an “Additional Closing”) shall occur on such date(s) as may be determined by the General Partner (the “Additional Closing Dates”); provided, however, that the last Closing shall occur no later than one year after the date of the Initial Closing, which date may be extended by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (the “Final Closing Date”). The books and records of the Fund shall be amended following each Closing to reflect the identity of the Limited Partners and their respective Capital Contributions.

(b) A Limited Partner making an initial Capital Commitment at an Additional Closing shall make a Capital Contribution equal to the aggregate Capital Contributions that would have been due to the Fund from such Limited Partner if such Limited Partner had been admitted at the Initial Closing and may be required, at the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion, to pay a make-up payment (the “Make-Up Payment”) to the Fund. The amount of such Make-Up Payment will be calculated by applying an annualized rate of 8% per annum to the amount that such Limited Partner would have contributed to the Fund if such Limited Partner had participated in the Initial Closing and made Capital Contributions at such times and in proportionate amounts as existing Limited Partners that participated in the Initial Closing (i.e., the percentage of the Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment contributed at the Additional Closing would be the same percentage as the amount of Capital Contributions made by existing Limited Partners at the Initial Closing relative to such existing Limited Partners’ Capital Commitments at the Initial Closing). The 8% Make-Up Payment rate will be applied over the period of time since such Capital Contributions were made by such existing Limited Partners. Such Make-Up Payment shall not be treated as Capital Contributions and shall not reduce the amount of the contributing Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment.

7.3 Capital Contributions.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the General Partner may call for contributions to the capital of the Fund at such times and in such amounts (not to exceed the amount of each Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment to the Fund) as the General Partner determines in its sole discretion, provided, that, the Fund will give each Limited Partner at least ten Business Days’ prior written notice (which may be given by e-mail) as to the due date for and amount of each such capital contribution. Capital Contributions by the Limited Partners shall be made in dollars by wire transfer of federal funds to an account or accounts of the Fund as specified by the Fund or in such other manner as the Fund may direct. No Limited Partner shall be entitled to any interest or compensation by reason of his, her or its Capital Contribution or by reason of being a Limited Partner. No Limited Partner shall be required to lend any funds to the Fund.

(b) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, a Limited Partner may not make less than the full amount of its Capital Contribution called by the General Partner pursuant to Section 7.3(a) hereof. In the event any Limited Partner fails to pay any amount which it is required to pay to the Fund on or before the date when such amount is due and payable, a written notice of default shall be given to such Limited Partner by the Fund. The Fund (or the General Partner as its delegate) may, at its discretion, reduce the value of the Interests of any Limited Partner that fails to pay the required contribution on the date due an annualized rate of 8% to the amount that such Limited Partner is required to pay until the date the full amount of the contribution is paid. This payment shall not be treated as Capital Contribution and shall not reduce the amount of the contributing Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment. If the full amount of the required contribution to the capital of the Fund is not received by the Fund within 20 days after the giving of such notice of default, such Limited Partner shall be deemed to be in default hereunder (a “Defaulting Limited Partner”) and the Fund will, to the extent allocable and permitted under applicable law, allocate expenses, penalties, costs, liabilities or obligations incurred by the Fund, as a result of the Limited Partner defaulting, to the Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof. In addition, the Fund (or the General Partner as its delegate) may, at its discretion, take other actions with respect to a Defaulting Limited Partner, including, without limitation, (i) borrowing funds to cover the amount of the defaulted Capital Contribution at a rate established with a third-party lender or using the Fund’s internal capital at a rate of 8% per annum, and causing the Defaulting Limited Partner to bear such interest and other costs associated with such borrowing, (ii) excluding a Defaulting Limited Partner from future capital calls, (iii) charging the Defaulting Limited Partner management fees on the full amount of such Defaulting Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment, (iv) causing the Defaulting Limited Partner to bear any losses incurred by the Fund in disposing of assets in order to fund the defaulted amount and/or (v) any other actions as may be available under applicable law.

7.4 Return of Capital. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Contribution, to receive interest or other earnings on its Capital Contributions, or to receive any distributions from the Fund, nor shall any Limited Partner have priority over any other Limited Partner either as to the return of such Limited Partner’s capital or as to profits, losses or distributions.

7.5 Recycling.

(a) To the extent the Master Fund is authorized to retain or recall for reinvestment proceeds received by the Master Fund from the Underlying Funds, the Fund may retain or recall such amounts as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to facilitate such reinvestment (which may include the payment of fees or expenses of the Master Fund, as well as investment in Underlying Funds).

(b) Amounts retained pursuant to Section 7.5(a) hereof in respect of a Limited Partner shall not reduce such Limited Partner’s unfunded Capital Commitment. Separate from and in addition to any amounts retained or recalled for reinvestment by the Fund, in the event that amounts are distributed to the Limited Partners as a result of funds being returned to the Master Fund by an Underlying Fund which are subject to reinvestment in such Underlying Fund, each Limited Partner’s unfunded Capital Commitment will be increased by the amount of funds so returned.

7.6 Liability of the Limited Partners and the Directors. Except for the obligations set forth hereunder and under the Subscription Agreements, the liability of the Limited Partners shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by the Act. If a Limited Partner is required under the Act to return to the Fund or pay, for the benefit of creditors of the Fund, amounts previously distributed to such Limited Partner, the obligation of such Limited Partner to return or pay any such amount to the Fund shall be the obligation of such Limited Partner and not the obligation of the Directors. The liability of the Directors shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by the Act.

ARTICLE VIII.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

8.1 Percentage Interests. There shall be established for each Limited Partner on the books of the Fund a percentage interest, which shall be determined by (i) dividing the amount of such Limited Partner’s Capital Contributions by the sum of the Capital Contributions of all the Limited Partners and (ii) multiplying such quotient by 100 (the “Percentage Interest”). The sum of the Percentage Interests shall equal 100. The Percentage Interests of the Limited Partners shall be set forth on the books and records of the Fund, as adjusted from time to time by the Directors to reflect the Limited Partners’ Capital Contributions.

8.2 Distributions.

(a) The Fund shall make distributions of available cash (net of reserves that the Directors deem reasonable) or other net investment proceeds to the Limited Partners at such times and in such amounts as determined by the Directors in their sole discretion in accordance with the Limited Partners’ respective Percentage Interests at the time of such distribution. Subject to Section 13.2 hereof regarding liquidating distributions, 100% of such distributions will be paid to the Limited Partners pro rata in accordance with their respective Capital Contributions.

(b) Distributions pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall take the form of cash only.

8.3 Valuation. The value of any asset of the Fund shall be determined in good faith in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors based upon all available relevant information. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to rely on any valuations provided to it by the Underlying Funds and/or the General Partner, but shall not be bound by such valuations.

8.4 Allocation of Expenses/Defaulting Limited Partners. The Fund will, to the extent allocable and permitted under applicable law, and as determined by the Directors, allocate expenses incurred by the Fund, as a result of Limited Partners defaulting in their Capital Commitments, to those Limited Partners that caused the Fund to incur such expenses. Pursuant to Section 7.3(b) hereof, the Fund may also allocate any interest and other expenses incurred as a result of the Fund borrowing funds to cover defaults by Limited Partners, to those Limited Partners that have defaulted on their Capital Commitments to the Fund.

ARTICLE IX.

FUND EXPENSES

9.1 Fund Expenses.

(a) Except as set forth herein or in another agreement between the Fund and the General Partner, the General Partner shall bear all of its costs incurred in providing services to the Fund.

(c) The Fund shall bear its organizational expenses, and expenses relating to the offering and sale of Interests; provided that to the extent such organizational and offering expenses when aggregated with those of the Master Fund and other feeder funds that invest directly or indirectly in the Master Fund exceed $1,500,000, the excess amount over $1,500,000 shall be borne by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Investment Advisers LLC.

ARTICLE X.

INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Indemnification.

(a) None of the Directors, the General Partner or any of their respective Affiliates, principals, members, shareholders, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall have any liability, responsibility or accountability in damages or otherwise to any Limited Partner or the Fund for, and the Fund agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify, pay, protect and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all reasonable costs and expenses of attorneys, defense, appeal and settlement of any and all suits, actions or proceedings instituted or threatened against the Indemnified Persons or the Fund) and all costs of investigation in connection therewith which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnified Persons or the Fund in any way relating to or arising out of, or alleged to relate to or arise out of, any action or inaction on the part of the Fund, on the part of the Indemnified Persons when acting on behalf of the Fund or otherwise in connection with the business or affairs of the Fund, or on the part of any agents when acting on behalf of the Fund (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Fund shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person for any portion of any Indemnified Liabilities which results from such Indemnified Person’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of his, her or its duties or by reason of his, her or its reckless disregard of his, her or its obligations and duties. The indemnification rights provided for in this Section 10.1(a) shall survive the termination of the Fund or this Agreement. Any indemnification rights provided for in this Section 10.1(a) shall be retained by any removed, resigned or withdrawn Director, General Partner or agent and its constituent Indemnified Persons. Any indemnification rights provided for in this Section 10.1(a) shall also be retained by any Person who has acted in the capacity of officer, director, partner, employee, agent, stockholder or Affiliate of an Indemnified Person after such Persons shall have ceased to hold such positions.

(b) The right of any Indemnified Person to the indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Indemnified Person may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Indemnified Person’s successors, assigns and legal representatives.

(c) The provision of advances from Fund funds to an Indemnified Person for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action or proceeding is permissible if (i) such suit, action or proceeding relates to or arises out of, or is alleged to relate to or arise out of, any action or inaction on the part of the Indemnified Person in the performance of its duties or provision of its services on behalf of the Fund or otherwise in connection with the business or affairs of the Fund; and (ii) the Indemnified Person undertakes to repay any funds advanced pursuant to this Section 10.1(c) in any case in which such Indemnified Person would not be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.1(a) hereof. If advances are permissible under this Section 10.1(c), the Indemnified Person shall furnish the Fund with an undertaking as set forth in clause (ii) of this paragraph and shall thereafter have the right to ▇▇▇▇ the Fund for, or otherwise request the Fund to pay, at any time and from time to time after such Indemnified Person shall become obligated to make payment therefor, any and all amounts for which such Indemnified Person believes in good faith that such Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.1(a) hereof. The Fund shall pay any and all such bills and honor any and all such requests for payment within 60 days after such ▇▇▇▇ or request is received by the Fund, and the Fund’s rights to repayment of such amounts shall be secured by the Indemnified Person’s interest in the Fund, if any, or by such other security as the Directors may require. In the event that a final judicial (or binding arbitration) determination is made that the Fund is not so obligated in respect of any amount paid by it to a particular Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person will refund such amount within 60 days of such final determination, and in the event that a final determination is made that the Fund is so obligated in respect to any amount not paid by the Fund to a particular Indemnified Person, the Fund will pay such amount to such Indemnified Person within 60 days of such final determination, in either case together with interest (at the lesser of (x) the Applicable Rate and (y) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law) from the date paid by the Fund until repaid by the Indemnified Person or the date it was obligated to be paid by the Fund until the date actually paid by the Fund to the Indemnified Person.

(d) With respect to the liabilities of the Fund, all such liabilities:

(1) shall be liabilities of the Fund as an entity, and shall be paid or otherwise satisfied from the Fund’s assets; and

(2) except to the extent otherwise required by law, shall not in any event be payable in whole or in part by any Limited Partner, Director, the General Partner or by any director, officer, trustee, employee, agent, shareholder, beneficiary, member or partner of any of them.

The Board of Directors may cause the Fund, at the Fund’s expense, to purchase insurance to insure the Indemnified Persons against liability hereunder (including liability arising in connection with the operation of the Fund), including, without limitation, for a breach or an alleged breach of their responsibilities hereunder.

ARTICLE XI.

REPURCHASE OF INTERESTS; WITHDRAWALS OF LIMITED PARTNERS; TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS

11.1 Repurchase of Interests.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner holding an Interest or portion thereof shall have the right to withdraw or tender to the Fund for repurchase an Interest or portion thereof. At the investment adviser’s recommendation, the Board of Directors may from time to time, in its complete and exclusive discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may determine, cause the Fund to repurchase Interests or portions thereof pursuant to written tenders. The Fund shall repurchase Interests or portions thereof pursuant to written tenders only on terms fair to the Fund and to all Limited Partners.

(b) The General Partner may cause the Fund to repurchase an Interest or portion thereof of a Limited Partner from a Limited Partner in the event that the General Partner or the Board of Directors determine or have reason to believe that:

(i) such an Interest or portion thereof has been transferred in violation of Section 11.3 hereof, or such an Interest or portion thereof has vested in any person by operation of law as the result of the death, dissolution, bankruptcy or incompetency of a Limited Partner;

(ii) ownership of such an Interest by a Limited Partner will cause the Fund to be in violation of, or require registration of any Interest or portion thereof under, or subject the Fund to additional registration or regulation under, the securities or commodities laws of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction;

(iii) continued ownership of such an Interest may be harmful or injurious to the business or reputation of the Fund, the Directors or the General Partner, or may subject the Fund or any of the Partners to an undue risk of adverse tax or other fiscal consequences;

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

(v) it would be in the best interest of the Fund, as determined by the General Partner, for the Fund to repurchase such an Interest or portion thereof.

(c) Repurchases of Interests or portions thereof by the Fund shall be payable in cash, without interest. All such repurchases shall be subject to any and all conditions as the Board of Directors may impose and shall be effective as of a date set by the Board of Directors after receipt by the Fund of all eligible written tenders of Interests or portion thereof. The amount due to any Limited Partner whose Interest or portion thereof is repurchased shall be equal to 80% of the net asset value of such Limited Partner’s Interest as of the applicable tender valuation date.

11.2 Withdrawals of Limited Partners.

(a) A Limited Partner may not sell, withdraw, assign or transfer its Interest without the prior written consent of the Directors, which the Directors may withhold in their sole discretion.

(b) The Board of Directors may (but shall not be required to) compel any Limited Partner to withdraw from the Fund at any time upon at least five Business Days prior written notice upon a determination by the Directors that the continued participation of that Limited Partner in the Fund might subject the Fund to restrictions or other adverse consequences as a result of applicable laws or regulations. In the event that the Board of Directors terminates a Limited Partner, that Limited Partner shall immediately withdraw from the Fund and cease to be a Limited Partner of the Fund. Such withdrawal shall occur automatically upon termination without the necessity of any further act by the Limited Partner or any other Person. The date of termination shall be the effective date of withdrawal of the terminated Limited Partner.

(c) The Fund shall pay to the terminated Limited Partner 90% of the value of the terminated Limited Partner’s Interests (determined in accordance with the next sentence) within 90 days of termination or as soon thereafter as the Fund shall have sufficient funds available and shall pay the remainder upon completion of that year’s audit. The value of the terminated Limited Partner’s Interests shall be determined not more than three days prior to the date of termination. Such amounts paid to a terminated Limited Partner shall not be entitled to interest for any period after the date of termination.

(d) The General Partner may compel any Limited Partner to withdraw from the Fund at any time upon at least five Business Days prior written notice if such Limited Partner has not made its initial Capital Contribution to the Fund by the due date for such capital contribution. That Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner of the Fund. Such withdrawal shall occur automatically upon termination without the necessity of any further act by the Limited Partner or any other Person. The date of termination shall be the effective date of withdrawal set forth in the written notice to such terminated Limited Partner.

(e) From and after the effective date of withdrawal of a Limited Partner, such withdrawn Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner of the Fund for all purposes and the Interest of a withdrawn Limited Partner shall not be included in calculating the Interests of the Limited Partners required to take any action under this Agreement.

11.3 Transfers of Interests.

(a) A Limited Partner may not transfer, assign, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of the attributes of his, her or its Interest (collectively, a “Transfer”), in whole or in part, to any Person without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors, which consent the Board of Directors may withhold in its sole discretion, and any attempted Transfer of Interest shall be null and void ab initio unless effected in accordance with this Article XI.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 11.3(a) hereof, the Board of Directors will not unreasonably withhold its consent to the Transfer of a Limited Partner’s Interest to a family member, trust, or other similar Person or entity for estate planning purposes.

(c) Conditions to Transfers. The Board of Directors may condition its consent to a Transfer under Section 11.3(a) hereof on the Transfer meeting each of the following conditions:

(i) such Transfer, itself or together with any other Transfers, would not cause the Fund to be terminated under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code or result in the Fund being treated as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code (or failing any safe harbor to avoid such treatment under such Code section or the regulations promulgated thereunder) or otherwise being treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes;

(ii) such Transfer does not require the registration or qualification of the Interests pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities or “blue sky” laws;

(iii) such Transfer does not result in a violation of the Investment Company Act or other laws ordinarily applicably to such transactions;

(iv) the transferor and purported transferee each shall have represented to the Directors in writing that such Transfer was not effected through a broker-dealer or matching agent that makes a market in Interests or that provides a readily available, regular and ongoing opportunity to Limited Partners to sell or exchange their Interests;

(v) the transferor shall reaffirm, and the purported transferee shall affirm, in writing his, her or its agreement to indemnify as described in Section 11.5 hereof;

(vi) no facts are known to the Directors that cause the Directors to conclude that such transfer will have a material adverse effect on the Fund; and

(vii) the transferee has agreed in writing to become a party to, “member” under and subject to all of the terms, obligations and limitations of this Agreement.

11.4 Effect of Transfers. Upon any Transfer approved by the Board of Directors, the transferee of the transferred Interest shall be entitled to receive the distributions to which the transferring Limited Partner would be entitled with respect to such transferred Interest, but shall not be entitled to exercise any of the other rights of a Limited Partner with respect to such transferred Interest, including, without limitation, the right to vote, unless and until such transferee is admitted to the Fund as a Substituted Limited Partner pursuant to Section 11.6 hereof.

11.5 Transfer Indemnity. Each Limited Partner hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, the General Partner, the Directors, and each other Limited Partner (and any successor or assign of any of the foregoing) from and against all taxes, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, losses and expenses (including losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses of any judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement), joint or several, to which those persons may become subject by reason of or arising from any Transfer made in contravention of the provisions of this Agreement or any misrepresentation made by such Limited Partner in connection with any purported Transfer.

11.6 Substituted Limited Partners. No transferee of a transferred Interest shall be admitted as a Limited Partner (each such transferee, a “Substituted Limited Partner”) until each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

(a) the written consent of the Board of Directors, which may be withheld or granted in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board of Directors;

(b) the execution and delivery to the Fund of a counterpart of this Agreement by the Substituted Limited Partner or its agent or attorney-in-fact;

(c) receipt by the Fund of other written instruments that are in form and substance satisfactory to the Board of Directors (as determined in its sole discretion), including, without limitation, an opinion of counsel regarding the tax or regulatory effects of such admission;

(d) payment by the Substituted Limited Partner to the Fund of an amount determined by the Board of Directors to be equal to the costs and expenses incurred in connection with such assignment, including, without limitation, costs incurred in preparing and filing such amendments to this Agreement as may be required;

(e) the updating of the books and records of the Fund to reflect the Person’s admission as a Substituted Limited Partner; and

(f) any other information or documentation as the Directors may request.

11.7 Effect of Death, Etc. The death, retirement, withdrawal, expulsion, disability, Incapacity, incompetency, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of a Limited Partner, or the occurrence of any other event under the Act that terminates the continued membership of a Limited Partner as a limited partner of the Fund, shall not cause the Fund to be dissolved and its affairs to be wound up so long as the Fund has at least one Limited Partner at all times. Upon the occurrence of any such event, the business of the Fund shall be continued without dissolution. The legal representatives, if any, of a Limited Partner shall succeed as assignee to the Limited Partner’s Interest upon death, Incapacity, incompetency, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of a Limited Partner, but shall not be admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner except under the provisions of Section 11.6 hereof and with the written consent of the Board of Directors, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion. The Interest held by such legal representative of a Limited Partner shall not be included in calculating the Interests of the Limited Partners required to take any action under this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII.

In compliance with Section 31 of the Investment Company Act, the books and records of the Fund, and a list of the names and residence, business or mailing addresses and Interests of all Limited Partners, shall be maintained at the principal executive offices of the Fund or such other location as the Board of Directors may approve. The Fund shall not be required to provide any documentation or other information to Limited Partners except that which it is required to provide under the Investment Company Act, the Act or other applicable law. Each Limited Partner shall have the right to obtain from the Fund from time to time upon reasonable demand for any proper purpose reasonably related to the Limited Partner’s interest as a Limited Partner of the Fund, and upon paying the costs of collection, duplication and mailing, the documents and other information which the Fund is required to provide under the Investment Company Act, the Act or other applicable law. Any demand by a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be in writing and shall state the purpose of such demand. The Fund may maintain such other books and records and may provide such financial or other statements as the Directors or the Appropriate Officers in their discretion deem advisable. The books and records of the Fund shall be audited by the Fund’s independent accountants as of the end of each Fiscal Year, commencing with the first partial Fiscal Year, of the Fund.

12.2 Annual Reports to Current Limited Partners. As soon as practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Fund shall prepare and distribute to the Limited Partners, at the expense of the Fund, an annual report containing a summary of the year’s activity and such financial statements and schedules as may be required by law or as the Directors may otherwise determine.

12.3 Filing of Tax Returns. The Fund shall provide the Limited Partners with such information as may be reasonably required in the discretion of the General Partner for purposes of allowing the Limited Partners to prepare and file their own U.S. federal, state and local tax returns. Each Limited Partner shall be required to report for all tax purposes consistently with such information provided by the Fund.

12.4 Certain Tax Information. Each Limited Partner shall execute any relevant document, furnish any information and documentation (including an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8, as applicable) or otherwise take any action as the Board of Directors determines necessary for the Fund to comply with any tax accounting, withholding or reporting obligation.

12.5 Determinations Binding. Any determination made or position taken by the Directors with respect to tax filing or accounting matters shall be final and binding upon the Limited Partners and their respective legal representatives and the Limited Partners agree to file consistently with such determinations or positions of the Directors.

ARTICLE XIII.

DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION

13.1 Dissolution. The Fund shall be dissolved upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(a) the expiration of the term of the Fund, except to the extent extended pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof;

(b) the election by the Directors to dissolve the Fund prior to the expiration of its term, subject to the consent of a Supermajority of Limited Partners and any requirements under the Investment Company Act;

(d) a decree of dissolution entered against the Fund under the Act.

Dissolution of the Fund shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Fund shall not terminate until the assets of the Fund have been distributed as provided in Section 13.2 hereof and the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Fund has been canceled.

13.2 Liquidation. On dissolution of the Fund, a liquidator (who shall be selected by the Board of Directors, if still constituted, and otherwise shall be a Person proposed and approved by a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners) shall cause to be prepared a statement setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Fund as of the date of dissolution, and such statement shall be furnished to all of the Limited Partners. Then, those Fund assets that the liquidator determines should be liquidated shall be liquidated as promptly as possible, but in an orderly and business-like manner to maximize proceeds. Assets that the liquidator determines to distribute in kind shall be so distributed in a manner consistent with applicable law. If the liquidator determines that an immediate sale at the time of liquidation of all or part of the Fund’s assets would be unduly disadvantageous to the Limited Partners, the liquidator may either defer liquidation and retain the assets for a reasonable time, or distribute the assets to the Limited Partners in kind. The liquidator shall then wind up the affairs of the Fund and distribute the proceeds of the Fund by the end of the calendar year of the liquidation (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation) in the following order or priority:

(a) to the payment of the expenses of liquidation and to creditors (including Limited Partners who are creditors, to the extent permitted by law) in satisfaction of liabilities of the Fund other than liabilities for distributions to Limited Partners, in the order of priority as provided by law; then

(b) to the setting up of any reserves that the liquidator may deem necessary or appropriate for any anticipated obligations or contingencies of the Fund or of the liquidator arising out of or in connection with the operation or business of the Fund. Such reserves may be paid over by the liquidator to an escrow agent or trustee proposed and approved by the liquidator to be disbursed by such escrow agent or trustee in payment of any of the aforementioned obligations or contingencies and, if any balance remains at the expiration of such period as the liquidator shall deem advisable, to be distributed by such escrow agent or trustee in the manner hereinafter provided; and then

13.3 Termination. The liquidator shall comply with any requirements of the Act or other applicable law pertaining to the winding up of a limited liability company, at which time the Fund shall stand terminated.

ARTICLE XIV.

POWER OF ATTORNEY

14.1 Power of Attorney. Each Limited Partner hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the General Partner and its designees, as such Limited Partner’s true and lawful agents and attorneys-in-fact, with full power and authority in such Limited Partner’s name, place, and stead, to make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record the following documents and instruments in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement:

(a) this Agreement and a certificate of formation, a certificate of doing business under fictitious name and any other instrument or filing which the General Partner considers necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or the business of the Fund or that may be required under the laws of any state or local government, or of any other jurisdiction;

(d) all documents and instruments that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the dissolution and termination of the Fund, pursuant to the terms hereof.

14.2 Irrevocability. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and such grant shall be irrevocable. Such power of attorney shall survive the subsequent Incapacity of any such Limited Partner or the Transfer of any or all of such Limited Partner’s Interest; provided, however, that this power of attorney granted by each Limited Partner shall expire as to such Limited Partner immediately after the cancellation of the Fund or the complete withdrawal of such Limited Partner as a limited partner of the Fund.

14.3 Priority of Agreement. In the event of any conflict between provisions of this Agreement or any amendment hereto and any documents executed, acknowledged, sworn to, or filed by the General Partner under this power of attorney, this Agreement and its amendments shall govern.

14.4 Exercise of Power. To the fullest extent permitted by law, this power of attorney may be exercised by such attorney in-fact and agent for all Limited Partners (or any of them) by a single signature of the General Partner with or without listing all Limited Partners executing an instrument.

ARTICLE XV.

MISCELLANEOUS
