Any action of the Members that is permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting if consents in writing, setting forth the action taken, are signed by Members holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast or such greater percentage as may be required in order to approve such action.

(a) The Managers shall not be required to devote full time to the affairs of the Fund, but shall devote such time as may reasonably be required to perform their obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Any Member, Manager, or Affiliate of the foregoing 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, advisers, 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 Member shall have any rights in or to such activities of any other Member or Manager, or any profits derived therefrom.

3.6 DUTY OF CARE.

(a) A Manager shall not be liable to the Fund or to any of its Members for any loss or damage occasioned by any act or omission in the performance of the Manager’s services under this Agreement, unless it shall be determined by final judicial decision in a court of competent jurisdiction on the merits from which there is no further right to appeal that such loss is due to an act or omission of such person constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Manager’s office or as otherwise required by law.

(b) A Member not in breach of any obligation hereunder or under any agreement pursuant to which the Member subscribed for Units shall be liable to the Fund, any other Member, or third parties only as required by the Delaware Act or otherwise provided in this Agreement.

3.7 INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Fund shall, subject to Section 3.7(b) hereof, indemnify the Initial Manager, each Manager and the Tax Matters Member and the executors, heirs, assigns, successors, or other legal representatives of each of the foregoing, and of any person who controls or is under common control, or otherwise affiliated, with the Initial Manager, Manager, or the Tax Matters Member (and their executors, heirs, assigns, successors, or other legal representatives) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including, but not limited to, amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, or as fines or penalties, and reasonable counsel fees, 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 such 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, by reason of being or having been the Initial Manager, a Manager, or the Tax Matters Member, as the case may be, of the Fund or the past or present performance of services to the Fund by such indemnitee, except to the extent such loss, claim, damage, liability, cost, or expense shall have been finally determined in a decision on the merits in any such action, suit, investigation, or other proceeding to have been incurred or suffered by such indemnitee by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee’s office. The rights of indemnification provided under this Section 3.7 shall not be construed so as to provide for indemnification of an indemnitee for any liability (including liability under 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 such indemnification would be in violation of applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the applicable provisions of this Section 3.7 to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(b) Expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, so incurred by any such 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 Fund in advance of the final disposition of any such action, suit, investigation, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such indemnitee to repay to the Fund amounts so paid if it shall ultimately be determined that indemnification of such expenses is not authorized under Section 3.7(a) hereof; provided, however, that: (i) such indemnitee shall provide security for such undertaking, (ii) the Fund shall be insured by or on behalf of such indemnitee against losses arising by reason of such indemnitee’s failure to fulfill his or its undertaking; or (iii) a majority of the Managers (excluding any Manager who is seeking advancement of expenses hereunder or is or has been a party to any action, suit, investigation, or proceeding involving claims similar to those involved in the action, suit, investigation, or proceeding giving rise to a claim for advancement of expenses hereunder) or independent legal counsel in a written opinion shall determine based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) that there is reason to believe such indemnitee ultimately will be entitled to indemnification.

(c) As to the disposition of any action, suit, investigation, or 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 of competent jurisdiction, or by any other body before which the proceeding shall have been brought, that an indemnitee is liable to the Fund or its Members by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee’s office, indemnification shall be provided pursuant to Section 3.7(a) hereof if: (i) approved as in the best interests of the Fund by vote of a majority of the Managers (excluding any Manager who is seeking indemnification hereunder or is or has been a party to any action, suit, investigation, or proceeding involving claims similar to those involved in the action, suit, investigation, or proceeding giving rise to a claim for advancement of expenses hereunder) upon a determination based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) that such indemnitee acted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that such actions were in the best interests of the Fund and that such indemnitee is not liable to the Fund or its Members by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee’s office; or (ii) the Managers 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 such indemnitee acted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that such actions were in the best interests of the Fund and that such indemnitee is not liable to the Fund or its Members by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee’s office.

(d) Any indemnification or advancement of expenses made pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall not prevent the recovery from any indemnitee of any such amount if such indemnitee subsequently shall be determined in a final decision on the merits in a court of competent jurisdiction in any action, suit, investigation, or proceeding involving the liability or expense that gave rise to such indemnification or advancement of expenses to be liable to the Fund or its Members by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee’s office. In any suit brought by an indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification under this Section 3.7 it shall be a defense that, and in any suit in the name of the Fund to recover any indemnification or advancement of expenses made pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Fund shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 3.7. In any such suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover any indemnification or advancement of expenses made pursuant to this Section 3.7, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to any indemnification or advancement of expenses, under this Section 3.7 shall be on the Fund (or any Member acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the Fund or its Members).

(e) An indemnitee may not satisfy any right of indemnification or advancement of expenses granted in this Section 3.7 as to which he, she, or it may otherwise be entitled except out of the assets of the Fund, and no Member shall be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses.

(f) The rights of indemnification provided hereunder shall 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 3.7 shall affect the power of the Fund to purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of any Manager or other person.

3.8 FEES, EXPENSES, AND REIMBURSEMENT.

(a) The Board may cause the Fund to compensate each Independent Manager for his or her services hereunder. In addition, the Fund shall reimburse the Managers for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in performing their duties under this Agreement.

(b) The Fund shall bear all of its own operating expenses incurred in the business of the Fund other than those specifically required to be borne by another party pursuant to a separate written agreement with the Fund. Expenses to be borne by the Fund include, but are not limited to, the following:

(i) all fees payable to any investment adviser or sub-adviser employed by the Fund to supervise the assets of the Fund;

(ii) all costs and expenses related to portfolio transactions and positions for the Fund’s account, including, but not limited to, brokerage commissions, research fees, interest and commitment fees on loans and debit balances, borrowing charges on Securities sold short, dividends on Securities sold short but not yet purchased, custodial fees, margin fees, transfer taxes and premiums, and taxes withheld on foreign dividends;

(iii) all costs and expenses associated with the organization, operation, and registration of the Fund, offering costs, and the costs of compliance with any applicable federal or state laws;

(iv) the costs and expenses of holding meetings of the Board and any meetings of Members that are regularly scheduled, permitted, or are required to be held by this Agreement, the 1940 Act, or other applicable law;

(v) fees and disbursements of any attorneys, accountants (including tax preparation fees), auditors, and other consultants and professionals engaged on behalf of the Fund to assist in connection with its operations;

(vi) the costs of a fidelity bond and any liability insurance obtained on behalf of the Fund or the Managers;

(vii) all costs and expenses associated with the organization of any subsidiary vehicle deemed necessary for the investment operations of the Fund, or with the operation of the Fund as a master-feeder structure as contemplated by Section 9.10 hereof;

(viii) all costs and expenses of preparing, printing, and distributing reports and other communications to Members;

(ix) the fees of custodians, transfer agents, and other persons providing administrative services to the Fund;

(x) all expenses in computing the Net Asset Value of the Fund and the Units, including any equipment or services obtained for such purposes;

(xi) administrative and Member service fees incurred by the Fund will be allocated among its various classes based on the Net Asset Value of the Fund attributable to each such class; and

(xii) such other types of expenses as may be approved from time to time by the Board.

ARTICLE IV

TERMINATION OF STATUS OF MANAGERS;

TRANSFERS, REPURCHASES, AND REDEMPTIONS

4.1 TERMINATION OF STATUS OF A MANAGER. The status of a Manager shall terminate if the Manager: (a) shall die; (b) shall be adjudicated incompetent; (c) shall voluntarily withdraw as a Manager (upon not less than 90 days’ prior written notice to the other Managers, unless the other Managers waive such notice); (d) shall be removed; (e) shall be certified by a physician to be mentally or physically unable to perform his or her duties hereunder; (f) shall be declared bankrupt by a court with appropriate jurisdiction, file a petition commencing a voluntary case under any bankruptcy law, or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (g) shall have a receiver appointed to administer the property or affairs of such Manager.

4.2 REMOVAL OF THE MANAGERS. Any Manager may be removed by: (a) the vote or written consent of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Managers not subject to the removal or vote; or (b) the vote or written consent of Members holding not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Members.

4.3 TRANSFER OF UNITS OF MEMBER.

(a) Units held by a Member may be transferred only: (i) by operation of law pursuant to the death, divorce, bankruptcy, insolvency, or dissolution of such Member; or (ii) under extremely limited circumstances, with the written consent of the Board (which may be withheld for any reason in its sole and absolute discretion). If any transferee does not meet such investor eligibility requirements, the Fund reserves the right to redeem its Units. If the Board does not consent to a transfer by operation of law, the Fund shall redeem the Units from the Member’s successor. Any transfer must comply with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Board generally will not consent to a transfer unless the transfer is: (i) one in which the tax basis of the Units 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 Member (e.g., certain gifts and contributions to family entities); or (ii) to members of the transferring Member’s immediate family (e.g., siblings, spouse, parents, and children). If any Unit is transferred during any Fiscal Year in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.3, Profits, Losses, each item thereof, and all other items attributable to the Units for such Fiscal Year shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and the transferee during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using any conventions permitted by law and selected by the Board. All distributions on or before the date of such transfer shall be made to the transferor, and all distributions thereafter shall be made to the transferee. The foregoing permitted transferees will not be allowed to become substituted Members without the consent of the Board, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. Each transferring Member and transferee agrees to pay all expenses, including, but not limited, to attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, incurred by the Fund in connection with any transfer.

(b) By subscribing for Units, each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, the Managers, or each other Member, and any Affiliate of the foregoing 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 such persons may become subject by reason of or arising from any transfer made by that Member in violation of this Section 4.3 or any misrepresentation made by that Member in connection with any such transfer.

(c) Each transferring Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, the Managers, or each other Member and any Affiliate of the foregoing against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including legal or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses or any judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement), joint or several, to which such persons may become subject by reason of or arising from: (i) any transfer made by such Member in violation of this Section 4.3; and (ii) any misrepresentation by such Member in connection with any such transfer.

4.4 REPURCHASE OF UNITS.

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member or other person holding Units or portion thereof shall have the right to require the Fund to redeem its Units. The Board of the Fund, from time to time, and in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine to cause the Fund to offer to repurchase Units from Members, on such terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement. However, (i) any repurchase shall not occur until at least 60 calendar days after the Member has notified the Fund, in writing of the Member’s desire to have the Fund redeem its Units, (ii) the Fund shall not offer to repurchase Units on more than four occasions during any Fiscal Year, and (iii) the percentage interests in capital or profits repurchased (other than in private transactions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(e)) in any Fiscal Year shall not exceed 10% of the total interests in capital or profits. In accordance with the terms and conditions as are set forth in this Agreement, in determining whether to cause the Fund to repurchase Units pursuant to written requests by Members, the Board shall consider the following factors, among others, in making such determination:

(1) whether any Members have requested that the Fund repurchase their Units;

(2) the liquidity of the Fund’s assets;

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

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

(5) the history of the Fund in repurchasing Units;

(6) the economic condition of the securities markets; or

(7) the anticipated tax consequences of any proposed repurchases of Units.

(b) Discretionary Repurchases. Subject to Section 4.4(a) above, the Board, in its sole discretion may cause the Fund to repurchase Units on terms fair to the Fund and to all Members or one or more classes of Members (including persons holding Units acquired from Members), as applicable, in the following manner:

(i) The Board will provide written notice to Members when it has determined, in its sole and absolute discretion that the Fund will repurchase Units. Such notice will describe the terms of the repurchase offer, including:

(1) the commencement date of the repurchase offer;

(2) the date on which repurchase requests must be received by the Fund (the “Repurchase Request Deadline”); and

(3) other information that Members should consider in deciding whether and how to participate in such repurchase opportunity.

(ii) Members must submit, in writing, requests for repurchase to the Fund or its designated agent. The Repurchase Request Deadline will be a date set by the Board occurring no sooner than 20 business days after the commencement date of the repurchase offer and such Repurchase Request Deadline may be extended by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion. The Fund will not accept any repurchase request received by it or its designated agent after the Repurchase Request Deadline.

(iii) Promptly after the Repurchase Request Deadline, the Fund will give to each Member whose Units have been accepted for repurchase a payment consisting of: (1) cash or a Promissory Note entitling the Member to be paid an amount equal to such percentage of the estimated value of the repurchased Units as may be determined by the Board as of the Repurchase Valuation Date (the “Initial Payment”); and, if determined to be appropriate by the Board or if the Initial Payment is less than 100% of the “estimated value of the repurchased Units,” (2) a Promissory Note based upon the results of the annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements, i.e., the “Post-Audit Payment,” as set forth below.

(iv) The Initial Payment may be in cash and equal to an amount up to 100% of the estimated value of the repurchased Units, and shall be determined as of the effective date of the repurchase (the “Repurchase Valuation Date”) when the “estimated value of the repurchased Units” is determined to equal the value of the Member’s Capital Account or portion thereof based on the Net Asset Value of the Fund’s assets after giving effect to all allocations to be made to the Member’s Capital Account as of such date. The Repurchase Valuation Date is the last business day of the quarter in which the Repurchase Request Deadline occurs, which shall be approximately 65 days after the Repurchase Request Deadline. Initial Payment amounts generally shall be calculated within 10 business days after the Repurchase Valuation Date in accordance with the Fund’s valuation procedures as adopted by the Fund’s Board. The Initial Payment will be made as of a date approximately, but no earlier than, 30 days after the Repurchase Valuation Date.

(v) In the event that it is determined to be appropriate by the Board or if the Initial Payment is less than 100% of the estimated value of the repurchased Units, the second and final payment in respect of the Promissory Note (the “Post- Audit Payment”) will be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the value of the repurchased Units, determined as of the Repurchase Valuation Date and based upon the results of the annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements for the year in which the Repurchase Valuation Date occurs, over (2) the Initial Payment. The Board anticipates that the annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements will be completed within 60 days after the end of each Fiscal Year and that the Post-Audit Payment will be made promptly after the completion of the audit.

(vi) The Promissory Note shall be non-interest bearing and non-transferable.

(vii) Payment for Units accepted by the Fund for repurchase will be made in whole or in part in cash or securities of equivalent value.

(viii) The Fund may suspend or postpone any repurchase offer, by vote of a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Managers, including but not limited to:

(1) which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to dispose of securities it owns or to determine the value of the Fund’s nets assets;

(2) for any other periods that the SEC permits by order for the protection of Members; or

(3) under such other unusual circumstances as the Board deems advisable for the benefit of the Fund and its Members.

(ix) The Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine the amount of Units to be repurchased, if any. If a greater number of Units is submitted for repurchase by Members as of the Repurchase Request Deadline than the repurchase offer amount, as determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, subsequent to the repurchase in Section 4.4(a) above, the Fund may repurchase an additional amount of Units not to exceed 2% of the Units outstanding on the Repurchase Request Deadline. If the Board determines not to repurchase more than the repurchase offer amount or if Members submit for repurchase Units in an amount exceeding the repurchase offer amount plus 2% of the Units outstanding on the Repurchase Request Deadline, the Fund shall repurchase the Units submitted for repurchase on a pro rata basis, disregarding fractions, according to the number of Units submitted for repurchase by each Member as of the Repurchase Request Deadline; provided, however, that this provision shall not prohibit the Fund from:

(1) accepting all Units submitted for repurchase by Members who own, beneficially or of record, an aggregate of not more than a specified percentage of such Units and who submit for repurchase all their Units, before prorating Units submitted for repurchase by other Members; or

(2) accepting by lot Units submitted for repurchase by Members who offer all Units held by them or who, when submitting for repurchase their Units, elect to have either all or none or at least a minimum amount or none accepted, if the Fund first accepts all Units submitted for repurchase by Members who do not so elect.

(x) The Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to impose charges on Members or other persons who submit their Units for repurchase.

(xi) A Member who submits for repurchase only a portion of such Member’s Units shall be required to maintain a Capital Account balance at least equal to $25,000.

(xii) A Manager may submit for repurchase its Units as a Member under Section 4.4 hereof; except that, if the Manager is serving as the Tax Matters Partner, it shall be required to own Units in the Fund.

(c) Mandatory Redemptions. The Board may cause the Fund to redeem Units of a Member or any person acquiring Units thereof from or through a Member in the event that the Board determines or has reason to believe that, among other things:

(i) such Units have been transferred or such Units have vested in any person by operation of law as a result of the death, dissolution, bankruptcy, or incompetence of a Member;

(ii) ownership of such Units by a Member or other person will cause the Fund to be in violation of, or require registration of any Units, or subject the Fund to additional registration or regulation under, the securities, commodities, or other laws of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction;

(iii) continued ownership of such Units may be harmful or injurious to the business or reputation of the Fund, or may subject the Fund or any of its Members to an undue risk of adverse tax or other fiscal consequences;

(iv) any representation or warranty made by a Member in connection with the acquisition of Units was not true when made or has ceased to be true; or

(v) it would be in the best interests of the Fund, as determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, for the Fund to redeem such Units.

ARTICLE V

CAPITAL

5.1 CONTRIBUTIONS TO CAPITAL.

(a) The minimum initial contribution of each Member to the capital of the Fund shall be such amount as the Board, in its discretion, may determine from time to time. The amount of the initial contribution of each Member shall be recorded on the books and records of the Fund upon acceptance as a contribution to the capital of the Fund. Except for the Tax Matters Member, the Managers shall not be entitled to make contributions of capital to the Fund as Managers of the Fund, but may make contributions to the capital of the Fund as Members. The Manager who serves as the Tax Matters Member is required to make a contribution and own Units in the Fund.

(b) Members may make additional contributions to the capital of the Fund effective as of such times as the Board, in its discretion, may permit, subject to Section 2.7 hereof, but no Member shall be obligated to make any additional contribution to the capital of the Fund. The minimum initial capital contribution of a Member to the capital of the Fund shall be such amount as the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine from time to time.

(c) Initial and any additional contributions to the capital of the Fund by any Member shall be payable in cash, payable in readily available funds at the date of the proposed acceptance of the contribution.

5.2 RIGHTS OF MEMBERS TO CAPITAL. No Member shall be entitled to interest on any contribution to the capital of the Fund, nor shall any Member be entitled to the return of any capital of the Fund except as otherwise specifically provided herein, for example: (a) upon the repurchase by the Fund of a part or all of such Member’s Units pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof, (b) pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6 hereof, or (c) upon the liquidation of the Fund’s assets pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. No Member shall be liable for the return of any such amounts. No Member shall have the right to require partition of the Fund’s property or to compel any sale or appraisal of the Fund’s assets.

5.3 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. The Fund shall maintain a separate Capital Account for each Member.

6.2 SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS. The following special allocations shall apply:

(a) Limitation on Losses. The Losses allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated without causing any Member to have a Deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year. In the event some but not all of the Members would have Deficit Capital Accounts as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, the limitation set forth in this Section 6.2 shall be applied on a Member by Member basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible Losses to each Member under Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

(b) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation §1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in the Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of the Fund income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in the Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations §1.704-2(f)(6) and §1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.2(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in §1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation §1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of the Fund income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations §1.704-2(i)(4) and §1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.2(c) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation §1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) of the Treasury Regulations, items of the Fund income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Deficit Capital Account of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.2(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a Deficit Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in this Article VI have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.2(d) were not in this Agreement.

(e) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a Deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year, each such Member shall be specially allocated items of the Fund income and gain in the amount of such deficit as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.2(e) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a Deficit Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in this Agreement have been made as if Section 6.2(d) hereof and this Section 6.2(e) were not in this Agreement.

(f) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with the general allocation of Losses set forth in Section 6.1(a) above.

(g) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.704-2(i)(1).

(h) Code §754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any the Fund asset pursuant to Code §734(b) or Code §743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its interest in the Fund, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their Units in the Fund in the event Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Members to whom such distribution was made in the event Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

6.3 CURATIVE ALLOCATIONS. The allocations set forth in Sections 6.2(b), 6.2(c), 6.2(d), 6.2(e), 6.2(f), 6.2(g) and 6.2(h) hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 6.3.

6.4 OTHER ALLOCATION RULES.

(a) Profits, Losses and any other items of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated to the Members pursuant to this Article VI as of the last day of each Fiscal Year, provided that Profits, Losses, and such other items shall also be allocated at such times as the Gross Asset Values of property are adjusted pursuant to sub-paragraph (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” in Article I.

(b) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to any Fiscal Period within a Fiscal Year, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Board using any permissible method under Code §706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, which takes into account the varying interests of the Members during each Fiscal Year.

(c) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Agreement and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions hereof in reporting their shares of income and loss for income tax purposes.

(d) “Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities” of the Partnership, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.752-3(a)(3) shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to Units held.

(e) To the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation §1.704-2(h)(3), the Board shall endeavor not to treat distributions of cash as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Member Nonrecourse Debt, but only to the extent that such distributions would cause or increase a Deficit Capital Account for any Member.

(f) In the event the Fund has taxable income that is characterized as ordinary income under the recapture provisions of the Code, each Member’s distributive share of taxable gain or loss from the sale of depreciable assets (to the extent possible) shall include a proportionate share of the recapture income equal to the Member’s share of prior cumulative depreciation deductions with respect to the assets that gave rise to the recapture income.

6.5 TAX ALLOCATIONS; CODE SECTION 704(c). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.5, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Fund for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such items are allocated for book purposes under this Article VI. In accordance with Code Section 704(c), and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Fund shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Fund for federal income tax purposes and its Initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with the definition of Gross Asset Value in Article I) using the traditional method, pursuant to the Treasury Regulations under Code §704(c). In the event the Gross Asset Value of any asset is adjusted pursuant to sub-paragraph (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value in Article I, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and depreciation with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code §704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Board in any manner that reasonably reflects the purposes and intention of this Agreement; provided that, any item of loss or deduction attributable to property contributed by a Member shall, to the extent of an amount equal to the excess of (a) the federal income tax basis of such property at the time of its contribution over (b) the Gross Asset Value of such property at such time, be allocated in its entirety to such contributing Member and the tax basis of such property for the purposes of computing the amounts of all items allocated to any other Members (including a transferee of the contributing Member) shall be equal to its Gross Asset Value upon its contribution to the Fund. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.5 are solely for the purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not effect, or in any way be taken into account in computing any Member’s Capital Account or share of profits, losses or other items or distributions pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

6.6 DISTRIBUTIONS. The Board, in its sole discretion, may authorize the Fund to make distributions in cash or in kind at any time to all of the Members pro rata in proportion to Units held.

6.7 AMOUNT WITHHELD. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state, local, or foreign tax law with respect to any payment, distribution, or allocation to the Fund or the Members shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed, as the case may be, to the Members for all purposes under this Agreement. The Fund is authorized to withhold from payments and distributions, or with respect to allocations, to the Members, and to pay over to any federal, state, and local government, or any foreign government, any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any other federal, state, or local law, or any foreign law, and shall so allocate any such amounts to the Members with respect to which such amount was withheld.

This Agreement is not intended for the benefit of non-Member creditors and no rights are granted to non-Member creditors under this Agreement.

The Fund may, at the discretion of the Board, as may be permitted by the 1940 Act, and upon the resolution of a majority of the then Managers, operate as a master-feeder structure or change an existing master-feeder structure, in which the feeder fund invests all of its assets into a master fund, rather than making investments in securities directly.

Accordingly, in addition to any and all other remedies at law or in equity to which the non-breaching Members and the Fund may be entitled, such Members also shall have 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 therewith. In the event that any non-breaching Member or the Fund determines that any of the other Members or any of its principals, partners, Members, trustees, officers, directors, employees, or agents or any of its affiliates, including any of such 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 Members agrees to pursue in a court of appropriate jurisdiction such injunctive relief.

(d) The Fund shall have the right to keep confidential from the Members for such period of time as it deems reasonable any information that the Board reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the Board in good faith believes is not in the best interest of the Fund or could damage the Fund or its business or that the Fund is required by law or by agreement with a third party to keep confidential.

Any Member who shall fail to provide such certification when requested to do so by the Board may be treated as a non-United States Person for purposes of U. S. federal tax withholding.

9.14 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be enforceable in the manner set forth in this Agreement, each Member agrees that it is the intention of the Members that such provision should be enforceable to the maximum extent possible under applicable law. If any provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidation or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof).

9.15 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement (including the Schedule attached hereto which is incorporated herein) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto.

9.16 DISCRETION. To the fullest extent permitted by law, whenever in this Agreement, a person is permitted or required to make a decision: (i) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, such person shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Fund or the Members; or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, then such person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or by relevant provisions of law or in equity or otherwise.
