(the "Administrator"), a Delaware business trust.
WHEREAS, the Fund is a registered, non-diversified, closed-end
management investment company under the Investment the Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act") consisting of limited liability company interests (the
"Interests"); and
WHEREAS, the Fund desires the Administrator to provide, and the
Administrator is willing to provide, administrative and accounting services to
the Fund on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants
hereinafter contained, the Fund and the Administrator hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1. Retention of the Administrator. The Fund hereby retains the
------------------------------
Administrator to furnish the Fund with accounting and administrative services as
set forth in this Agreement, and the Administrator hereby accepts such
employment. The Administrator shall be deemed to be an independent contractor
for all purposes herein.
ARTICLE 2. Administrative and Accounting Services. The Administrator
--------------------------------------
shall perform or supervise the performance by others of the accounting and
administrative services set forth in Schedule A hereto. In performing its duties
under this Agreement, the Administrator will act in all material respects in
accordance with the Fund's Limited Liability Company Agreement (the "LLC
Agreement") and Offering Memorandum as they may be amended (provided copies are
delivered to the Administrator). The Administrator (i) shall not have or be
required to have any authority to supervise the investment or reinvestment of
the securities or other properties which comprise the assets of the Fund and
(ii) shall not provide any investment advisory services to the Fund, and shall
have no liability related to the foregoing. The Administrator shall provide the
Fund with all necessary office space, equipment, personnel, compensation and
facilities (including facilities for Members' and Board of Managers' meetings)
for providing such services identified in Schedule A. The Administrator may
sub-contract with third parties to perform certain of the services to be
performed by the Administrator hereunder; provided, however, that the
Administrator shall remain principally responsible to the Fund for the acts and
omissions of such other entities. In meeting its duties hereunder, the
Administrator shall have the general authority to do all acts deemed in the
Administrator's reasonable good faith belief to be necessary and proper to
perform its obligations under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 3. Allocation of Charges and Expenses.
----------------------------------
(A) The Administrator. The Administrator shall furnish at its
-----------------
own expense the executive, supervisory and clerical personnel necessary to
perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Administrator shall also pay
all compensation, if any, of officers of the Fund who
1
are affiliated persons of the Administrator or any affiliated corporation of the
Administrator; provided, however, that unless otherwise specifically provided,
the Administrator shall not be obligated to pay the compensation of any employee
of the Fund retained by the Managers of the Fund to perform services on behalf
of the Fund.
(B) Fund Expenses. The Fund assumes and shall pay or cause to be paid
-------------
all expenses of the Fund not otherwise allocated to the Administrator in this
Agreement, including, without limitation, organizational costs, taxes, expenses
for legal and auditing services, the expenses of preparing (including
typesetting), printing and mailing reports, prospectuses, statements of
additional information, proxy solicitation and tender offer materials and
notices to existing members, all expenses incurred in connection with issuing
and redeeming Interests, the costs of pricing services, the costs of custodial
services, the cost of initial and ongoing registration of the Interests under
Federal and state securities laws, fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Managers
who are not affiliated persons of the Administrator or any affiliated
corporation of the Administrator, the costs of Managers' meetings, insurance,
interest, brokerage costs, litigation and other extraordinary or nonrecurring
expenses, and all fees and charges of service providers to the Fund. The Fund
shall reimburse the Administrator for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses,
including all reasonable charges for SAS 70 audit charges, and reasonable
copying, postage, telephone, and fax charges incurred by the Administrator in
the performance of its duties.
ARTICLE 4. Compensation of the Administrator. The Fund shall pay to the
---------------------------------
Administrator compensation at the annual rate specified in Schedule B to this
Agreement until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article 6. Such
compensation shall be calculated and accrued monthly, and paid to the
Administrator monthly, within 30 days of month-end, otherwise the Administrator
shall be entitled to charge and/or set-off such amounts against any account of
the Fund. If this Agreement becomes effective subsequent to the first day of a
month or terminates before the last day of a month, the Administrator's
compensation for that part of the month in which this Agreement is in effect
shall be prorated in a manner consistent with the calculation of the fees as set
forth above. Payment of the Administrator's compensation for the preceding month
shall be made promptly.
ARTICLE 5. Limitation of Liability of the Administrator. The duties of
--------------------------------------------
the Administrator shall be confined to those expressly set forth herein, and no
implied duties are assumed by or may be asserted against the Administrator
hereunder. The Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgment or
mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or
omission in carrying out its duties hereunder, except a loss resulting from
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its
duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties
hereunder. (As used in this Article 5, the term "Administrator" shall include
officers, employees and other agents of the Administrator as well as that entity
itself.) Under no circumstances shall the Administrator be liable to the Fund
for consequential, indirect or punitive damages.
So long as the Administrator, or its agents, acts without willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, and
without reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder, the Fund
assumes full responsibility and shall indemnify the Administrator
2
and hold it harmless from and against any and all actions, suits and claims,
whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all losses,
damages, costs, charges, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, payments,
expenses and liabilities (including reasonable investigation expenses) arising
directly or indirectly out of any act or omission of the Administrator in
carrying out its duties hereunder. The indemnity and defense provisions set
forth herein shall indefinitely survive the termination of this Agreement.
If in any case the Fund may be asked to indemnify or hold the
Administrator harmless, the Administrator shall promptly advise the Fund of the
pertinent facts concerning the situation in question, and the Administrator will
use all reasonable care to identify and notify the Fund promptly concerning any
situation which presents or appears likely to present the probability of such a
claim for indemnification, but failure to do so shall not affect the rights
hereunder.
The Fund shall be entitled to participate at its own expense or, if it
so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any claims
subject to this indemnity provision. If the Fund elects to assume the defense of
any such claim, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Fund and
satisfactory to the Administrator, whose approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. In the event that the Fund elects to assume the defense of any suit
and retain counsel, the Administrator shall bear the fees and expenses of any
additional counsel retained by it. If the Fund does not elect to assume the
defense of a suit, it will reimburse the Administrator for the reasonable fees
and expenses of any counsel retained by the Administrator.
The Administrator may apply to the Fund at any time for instructions
and may, with the prior consent of Aetos Alternatives Management, LLC, the
Fund's investment manager (the "Manager"), consult counsel for the Fund or its
own counsel and with accountants and other experts, at the Fund's expense, with
respect to any matter arising in connection with the Administrator's duties, and
the Administrator shall not be liable or accountable for any action taken or
omitted by it in good faith in accordance with such instruction or with the
opinion of such counsel, accountants or other experts.
Also, the Administrator shall be protected in acting upon any document
which it reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by the proper person or persons. Nor shall the Administrator be held to have
notice of any change of authority of any officers, employee or agent of the Fund
until receipt of written notice thereof from the Fund.
Nothing herein shall make the Administrator liable for the performance
or omissions of unaffiliated third parties not under the Administrator's
reasonable control such as, by way of example and not limitation, custodians,
investment advisers or sub-advisers, postal or delivery services,
telecommunications providers and processing and settlement services.
The Administrator is entitled to rely on the price information provided
by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests, brokers and custodians
(provided such brokers and custodians are satisfactory to the Manager) in order
to calculate the Fund's net asset value (and the value of members' capital
accounts based upon such valuation) and the Administrator shall not be liable
for any valuation errors resulting from the use of such information.

ARTICLE 6. Duration and Termination of this Agreement.
------------------------------------------
(A) This Agreement shall become effective on the date set forth in
Schedule B hereto and shall remain in effect for the full
duration of the Initial Term and each Renewal Term, each as set
forth in Schedule B, unless terminated in accordance with the
provisions of this Article 6. This Agreement may be terminated
only: (a) by either party at the end of the Initial Term or at
any time after the Initial Term on at least 90 days' prior
written notice; (b) by either party hereto on such date as is
specified in written notice given by the terminating party, in
the event of a material breach of this Agreement by the other
party, provided the terminating party has notified the other
party of such material breach at least 45 days prior to the
specified date of termination and the breaching party has not
remedied such breach by the specified date of termination; or (c)
effective upon the liquidation of the Fund. For purposes of this
paragraph, the term "liquidation" shall mean a transaction in
which the assets of the Fund are sold or otherwise disposed of
and proceeds therefrom are distributed in cash to the members in
complete liquidation of the interests of such members in the
Fund.
(B) If this Agreement is terminated by the Fund within three (3)
years from the Effective Date hereof, for any reason other than
as stated in Article 6(A) the Fund shall be liable to pay the
Administrator either the fees payable for the remainder of the
Initial Term as set forth in Schedule B hereto under the
sub-heading "Asset Based Fees" (based on the average net asset
value of the Aetos Funds registered under the 1940 Act for the
three months preceding the day on which the Fund so terminates
this Agreement), or the Annual Minimum Fees payable for the
remainder of the Initial Term, whichever is greater ("the
Deconversion Fee") in accordance with the following schedule: if
the Agreement is terminated within the first 12 months of the
Effective Date, the Fund shall be liable to pay 80 % of the
Deconversion Fee; if the Agreement is terminated after the first
12 months but within 24 months of the Effective Date, the Fund
shall be liable to pay 90 % of the Deconversion Fee; and if this
Agreement is terminated after the first 24 months but within 36
months of the Effective Date, the Fund shall be liable to pay 100
% of the Deconversion Fee. For avoidance of doubt, the Fund shall
remain liable to pay the Administrator the Deconversion Fee in
accordance with the provisions of this Article 6(B) in
circumstances where the assets of the Fund are merged,
reorganized or transferred to an entity to which neither the
Administrator nor an affiliate of the Administrator is appointed
to provide administration services.

on behalf of the Fund shall be prepared and maintained at the expense of the

to or surrendered promptly to the Fund on request.
In case of any request or demand for the inspection of such records by
another party, the Administrator shall notify the Fund and follow the Fund's
instructions as to permitting or refusing such inspection; provided that the
Administrator may exhibit such records to any person in any case where it is
advised by its counsel that it may be held liable for failure to do so, unless
(in cases involving potential exposure only to civil liability) the Fund has
agreed to indemnify the Administrator against such liability.

--------------------------------------------------
Administrator undertakes to comply in all material respects with applicable
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
