INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT to be effective as of the 18th day of
September, 2003 between X.X. XXXXXX ATLAS GLOBAL LONG/SHORT EQUITY FUND, L.L.C.,
a Delaware limited liability company (the "Fund"), and X.X. XXXXXX ALTERNATIVE
ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Investment Manager").
WHEREAS, the Fund has been organized for the purpose of allocating
discrete pools of its capital among portfolio managers (the "Portfolio
Managers") that invest through investment pools or managed accounts, and that
specialize primarily in long and short equity investing in publicly traded
companies, as described in the Private Placement Memorandum of the Fund, as it
may be amended and supplemented from time to time (the "Private Placement
Memorandum"), and the Fund desires to avail itself of the experience, sources of
information, advice, assistance and facilities of the Investment Manager, and
desires to have the Investment Manager perform for it various investment
management services;
WHEREAS, the Investment Manager is willing to perform such services under
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
WHEREAS, the Investment Manager has received a copy of the Amended and
Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement ("LLC Agreement") of the Fund, in
effect as of the date of this Agreement, and the Private Placement Memorandum;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained
and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt whereof is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Appointment of the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager will act
as investment manager to the Fund and will be responsible for all investment
decisions, either directly or indirectly through the selection and monitoring of
the Portfolio Managers through which the assets of the Fund will be invested.
The Investment Manager undertakes to give the Fund the benefit of its best
judgment, efforts and facilities in rendering its services.
2. Authority of the Investment Manager. Subject to Section 5, and in
connection with its obligations under this Agreement, the Investment Manager
will have the authority for and in the name of the Fund (including, to the
extent applicable, any subsidiary of the Fund) to manage the investment and
reinvestment of the assets of the Fund and to continuously review, supervise and
administer the investment program of the Fund subject to oversight by the Fund's
Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") and in accordance with the
investment objective and policies described in the Private Placement Memorandum.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investment Manager is
specifically authorized to:
(a) invest discrete portions of the Fund's assets (which may
constitute, in the aggregate, all of the Fund's assets) in unregistered
investment funds or other investment vehicles and registered investment
companies ("Investment Funds") that are managed by
Portfolio Managers, which investments shall be subject in each case to the
terms and conditions of the respective governing documents utilized by
each Portfolio Manager;
(b) invest discrete portions of the Fund's assets (i) in separate
investment vehicles for which the Portfolio Managers serve as general
partners, managing members and/or investment managers and in which the
Fund is the sole investor ("Sub-Funds") and (ii) with Portfolio Managers
who are retained to manage the Fund's assets directly through separately
managed accounts (Sub-Funds and separately managed accounts are
collectively referred to as "Separately Managed Accounts"; Portfolio
Managers of Separately Managed Accounts are referred to as "Subadvisers");
(c) invest the Fund's assets in any type of instrument it deems
appropriate for the purpose of (i) hedging currency risk when the Fund
makes an investment in an Investment Fund or directly in securities
denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar and (ii) fulfilling
the investment objective of the Fund as described in the Private Placement
Memorandum;
(d) invest the cash balances of the Fund in any instruments it deems
appropriate and to reinvest any income earned thereon in accordance with
the investment program of the Fund;
(e) borrow or raise monies, on behalf of the Fund, and, from time to
time issue, accept, endorse and execute promissory notes, drafts, bills of
exchange, warrants, bonds, debentures and other negotiable or
non-negotiable instruments and evidences of indebtedness, and secure the
payment of such or other obligations by mortgage upon, or hypothecation or
pledge of, all or part of the property of the Fund, whether at the time
owned or thereafter acquired, when deemed appropriate by the Investment
Manager, including, without limitation, to meet repurchases that would
otherwise result in the premature liquidation of investments;
(f) open, maintain and close bank accounts and brokerage accounts in
the name of the Fund and draw checks or other orders for the payment of
monies in respect of those accounts, and issue instructions and
authorizations to brokers regarding securities and/or money therein,
subject to the oversight of the Board of Directors;
(g) do any and all acts on behalf of the Fund, and exercise all
rights of the Fund, with respect to its interest in any person, firm,
corporation or other entity, including, without limitation, the voting or
abstention from voting of limited liability company interests, limited
partnership interests, shares or other interests of the Investment Funds
and Sub-Funds, participation in arrangements with creditors, the
institution and settlement or compromise of suits and administrative
proceedings and other like or similar matters;
(h) subject to the 1940 Act (as defined below), and any
interpretations of that Act, invest in one or more Investment Funds
through an intermediate entity in which other accounts or funds managed by
the Investment Manager may have an interest or
2
allocate portions of the Fund's assets to Portfolio Managers affiliated
with the Investment Manager, but not on terms more favorable to such
affiliates than could be obtained through arm's-length negotiation;
(i) advise the Board of Directors in connection with any proposed
changes to the Fund's investment guidelines, policies or strategies from
time to time in order to meet the Fund's investment objective;
(j) supply the Fund's administrator, custodian, escrow agent, or
other service providers to the Fund, with such information and
instructions as may be necessary to enable such person or persons to
perform their duties in accordance with the applicable agreements;
(k) effect all registrations or other filings required by
any governmental or similar agency with respect to the Fund;
(l) authorize any employee or other agent of the Investment Manager
or agent or employee of the Fund to act for and on behalf of the Fund in
all matters incidental to the foregoing; and
(m) engage personnel, whether part-time or full-time, attorneys and
independent accountants or such other persons as the Investment Manager
may deem necessary or advisable.
Subject to Section 3(b) of this Agreement, the Investment Manager may be
assisted in performing its services hereunder by sub-managers or consultants
that it selects.
3. Policies of the Fund.
(a) The activities engaged in by the Investment Manager on behalf of
the Fund shall be subject to the policies and control of the Board of
Directors.
(b) The selection of Subadvisers by the Investment Manager will be
subject to the approval by the Board of Directors in accordance with
requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and a
vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund unless
the Fund acts in reliance on exemptive or other relief granted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") from the provisions of the
1940 Act requiring such approval by security holders.
(c) The Fund and the Investment Manager agree to furnish to each
other current prospectuses, proxy statements, reports to members or
shareholders, true and complete copies of their financial statements, and
such other information with regard to their affairs as each may reasonably
request. The Investment Manager will provide the Fund with records
concerning the Investment Manager's activities that the Fund is required
to maintain and to render regular reports to the Fund's officers and the
Board of Directors concerning the Investment Manager's discharge of its
responsibilities.
3
4. Status of the Investment Manager.
(a) The Investment Manager will for all purposes be an independent
contractor and not an employee of the Fund, nor will anything in this
Agreement be construed as making the Fund a partner or co-venturer with
the Investment Manager or any of its affiliates or clients. The Investment
Manager shall have no authority to act for, represent, bind or obligate
the Fund except as specifically provided in this Agreement or as
specifically approved by the Board of Directors.
(b) The Fund authorizes affiliates of the Investment Manager to
provide services relating to the investment or trading of securities for
the Fund and to retain compensation in connection with the transactions,
provided that any such affiliate discloses, at least annually, and as may
be required under the Fund's Rule 17e-1 Procedures, as amended from time
to time with notice to the Investment Manager (the "Procedures"), the
amount of the commission it has received and that the amount of such
compensation is permissible under the Procedures. This authorization is
executed and delivered pursuant to Section 11(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 11a2-2(T) under that Act.
5. Conduct of the Investment Manager. All actions engaged in by the
Investment Manager under this Agreement will at all times conform to and be in
accordance with the requirements imposed by:
(a) any provisions of applicable law;
(b) provisions of the LLC Agreement as such LLC Agreement may be
amended, supplemented or revised from time to time, provided that the
Investment Manager will not be obligated to follow any amendment to the
LLC Agreement that increases its obligations, responsibilities or
liabilities until it has received actual notice of the amendment; and
(c) such policies and procedures as may be adopted from time to time
by the Board of Directors, provided that the Investment Manager will not
be obligated to follow any such policies or procedures that increases its
obligations, responsibilities or liabilities until it has received actual
notice of the policy or procedure.
6. Reimbursement of Legal and Other Professional Expenses. The Investment
Manager, in its discretion, may rely upon the advice of legal counsel,
independent accountants and other professional advisors to the Fund in
connection with the performance of its activities on behalf of the Fund under
this Agreement, and the Fund shall bear full responsibility therefor and the
expense of any fees and disbursements arising from the use of such professional
advisors.
4
7. Fees.
(a) The Fund shall pay the Investment Manager as full compensation
for the services performed by the Investment Manager a fixed monthly fee
payable monthly (the "Management Fee") equal to 0.1042% (1.25% on an
annualized basis) of the month-end capital account balance of each member
of the Fund (each, a "Member", and collectively, the "Members"), before
giving effect to repurchases, repurchase fees (if any) or the Incentive
Allocation, and after giving effect to other expenses (all as computed
pursuant to the LLC Agreement). The Management Fee shall be appropriately
prorated in the event that this Agreement becomes effective as of a date
other than the beginning of a month or terminates as of a date other than
the end of a month.
(b) Payment of the Management Fee shall be made in arrears within 20
days after the end of each month. The Investment Manager may rebate, out
of its own resources and in its sole discretion, a portion of the
Management Fee with respect to certain investors. A portion of the
Management Fee may be paid by, or at the direction of, the Investment
Manager to Placement Agents that assist in the placement of Interests and
may be affiliated with the Investment Manager, and any such payments will
be in addition to the direct placement fees paid by investors.
(c) Each payment for services to the Investment Manager shall be
accompanied by a report of the Fund, prepared either by the Fund's
administrator or by an established firm of independent public accountants,
which shows the amount properly payable to the Investment Manager under
this Agreement, and the manner of computation thereof.
8. Expenses of the Fund. The Fund will pay or assume all ordinary
operating expenses of the Fund in accordance with the terms of the LLC
Agreement, other than expenses assumed by the Investment Manager pursuant to
this Agreement.
9. Expenses of the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager will bear
all of its own costs incurred in providing investment advisory services to the
Fund, including travel and other expenses related to the selection and
monitoring of Portfolio Managers, as well as its other ordinary operating
expenses.
10. Representations and Warranties.
(a) The Investment Manager represents and warrants that: (i) it has
obtained all applicable licenses, permits, registrations, memberships and
approvals that may be required in order to serve in its designated
capacities with respect to this Agreement, and will continue to keep
current those licenses, permits, registrations, memberships and approvals
for so long as this Agreement is in effect; (ii) it is in material
compliance with all requirements of applicable federal securities and
commodities laws, regulations and rules, including the regulations and
rules of the SEC, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC")
and all other laws, rules or regulations applicable to it or its
activities; (iii) it will immediately notify the Fund of the occurrence of
any event that
5
would disqualify it from serving in its designated capacities with respect
to this Agreement; (iv) it has the capacity and authority to perform its
obligations under this Agreement; (v) this Agreement has been duly and
validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Investment
Manager and is a valid and binding agreement of the Investment Manager
enforceable in accordance with its terms; and (vi) entry into this
Agreement will not breach or cause to be breached any undertaking,
agreement, contract, statute, rule or regulation to which it is a party or
by which it is bound which would materially limit or affect the
performance of its duties under this Agreement.
(b) The Fund represents and warrants that: (i) it is a limited
liability company duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the
State of Delaware and has full power and authority to perform its
obligations under this Agreement; (ii) it has the capacity and authority
to enter into this Agreement; (iii) its commodity pool operator is
registered in such capacity with the CFTC and is a member of the National
Futures Association, or is exempt from such registration and membership
requirements; (iv) this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered on behalf of the Fund and is a valid and binding
agreement of the Fund enforceable in accordance with its terms; and (v)
entry into this Agreement will not breach or cause to be breached any
undertaking, agreement, contract, statute, rule or regulation to which it
is a party or by which it is bound that would materially limit or affect
the performance of its duties under this Agreement.
11. Liability of Investment Manager. In the absence of (a) willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on the part of the Investment Manager in
performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, (b) reckless
disregard by the Investment Manager of its obligations and duties under this
Agreement, or (c) a loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect
to the receipt of compensation for services (in which case any award of damages
will be limited to the period and the amount set out in Section 36(b)(3) of the
1940 Act), the Investment Manager will not be subject to any liability
whatsoever to the Fund, or to any Member of the Fund for any error of judgment,
mistake of law or any other act or omission in the course of, or connected with,
rendering services under this Agreement including, without limitation, for any
losses that may be sustained in connection with the purchase, holding,
redemption or sale of any security on behalf of the Fund.
12. Indemnification.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Fund will, subject
to Section 12(c) of this Agreement, indemnify the Investment Manager
(including for this purpose each officer, director, member, partner,
principal, employee or agent of, or any person who controls, is controlled
by or is under common control with, the Investment Manager, and their
respective executors, heirs, assigns, successors or other legal
representatives) (each such person being referred to as an "indemnitee")
against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses
("Losses," and individually, a "Loss") arising by reason of being or
having been Investment Manager to the Fund, or the past or present
performance of services to the Fund in accordance with this Agreement by
the indemnitee, except to the extent that the Loss has been determined in
a final judicial
6
decision on the merits from which no further right of appeal may be taken
in any action, suit, investigation or other proceeding, whether civil or
criminal ("Action"), to have been incurred or suffered by the indemnitee
by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence, or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the indemnitee's office
("disabling conduct"). Losses include, but are not limited to, amounts
paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, or as fines or
penalties, and counsel fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
defense or disposition of any Action before any judicial, arbitral,
administrative or legislative body, in which the indemnitee may be or may
have been involved as a party or otherwise, or with which the indemnitee
may be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter. The
rights of indemnification provided under this Section 12 are not to be
construed so as to provide for indemnification of an indemnitee for any
liability (including liability under U.S. federal securities laws that,
under certain circumstances, impose liability even on persons that act in
good faith) to the extent (but only to the extent) that indemnification of
such liability would be in violation of applicable law, but will be
construed so as to effectuate the applicable provisions of this Section
12.
(b) Expenses, including counsel fees and expenses, incurred by any
indemnitee (but excluding amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in
compromise, or as fines or penalties) may be paid from time to time by the
Fund in advance of the final disposition of any Action upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnitee to repay to the Fund amounts
paid if a determination is made that indemnification of the expenses is
not authorized under Section 12(a) of this Agreement, so long as (1) the
indemnitee provides security for the undertaking, (2) the Fund is insured
by or on behalf of the indemnitee against Losses arising by reason of the
indemnitee's failure to fulfill his, her or its undertaking, or (3) a
majority of the directors (each, a "Director," and collectively, the
"Directors") of the Fund who are not "interested persons" (as that term is
defined in the 1940 Act) ("Independent Directors") (excluding any Director
who is either seeking advancement of expenses under this Agreement or is
or has been a party to any other Action involving claims similar to those
involved in the Action giving rise to a claim for advancement of expenses
under this Agreement) or independent legal counsel in a written opinion
determines, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a
full trial-type inquiry), that reason exists to believe that the
indemnitee ultimately will be entitled to indemnification.
(c) With respect to the disposition of any Action (whether by a
compromise payment, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise) without a
final decision on the merits by a court, or by any other body before which
the Action has been brought, that an indemnitee was liable to the Fund or
its Members by reason of disabling conduct, indemnification will be
provided in accordance with Section 12(a) of this Agreement if (1) the
indemnification is approved as in the best interests of the Fund by a
majority of the Independent Directors (excluding any Director who is
either seeking indemnification under this Agreement or is or has been a
party to any other Action involving claims similar to those involved in
the Action giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this
Agreement) upon a determination, based upon a review of readily available
facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that the indemnitee acted
in good faith and in the
7
reasonable belief that the actions were in the best interests of the Fund
and that the indemnitee is not liable to the Fund or its Members by reason
of disabling conduct, or (2) the Directors secure a written opinion of
independent legal counsel, based upon a review of readily available facts
(as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), to the effect that
indemnification would not protect the indemnitee against any liability to
the Fund or its Members to which the indemnitee would otherwise be subject
by reason of disabling conduct.
(d) Any indemnification or advancement of expenses made in
accordance with this Section 12 will not prevent the recovery from any
indemnitee of any amount if the indemnitee subsequently is determined in a
final judicial decision on the merits in any Action involving the
liability or expense that gave rise to the indemnification or advancement
of expenses to be liable to the Fund or its Members by reason of disabling
conduct. In any suit brought by an indemnitee to enforce a right to
indemnification under this Section 12, it will be a defense that the
indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct described in
this Section 12. In any suit in the name of the Fund to recover any
indemnification or advancement of expenses made in accordance with this
Section 12 the Fund will be entitled to recover the expenses upon a final
adjudication from which no further right of appeal may be taken. In any
suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover any
indemnification or advancement of expenses made in accordance with this
Section 12, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to
be indemnified, or to any indemnification or advancement of expenses,
under this Section 12 will be on the Fund (or on 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 12 or to which he, she or
it may otherwise be entitled except out of the assets of the Fund, and no
Member will be personally liable with respect to any such claim for
indemnification or advancement of expenses.
(f) The rights of indemnification provided in this Section 12 will
not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any person may be
entitled by contract or otherwise under law. Nothing contained in this
Section 12 will affect the power of the Fund to purchase and maintain
liability insurance on behalf of the Investment Manager or any other
indemnitee.
13. Activities of the Investment Manager and Others. The Investment
Manager and its affiliates may engage, simultaneously with their investment
management activities on behalf of the Fund, in other businesses and make
investments for their own accounts, and may render services similar to those
described in this Agreement for other individuals, companies, trusts or persons,
and shall not by reason of such engaging in other businesses, making such
investments or rendering of services for others be deemed to be acting in
conflict with the interests of the Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Investment Manager shall devote sufficient time to the management of the Fund's
assets as is necessary to supervise the investment activities of the Fund.
8
14. Permissible Interests. Subject to and in accordance with the LLC
Agreement and the organizational documents of the Investment Manager (the
"Investment Manager Organizational Documents"), (a) Directors (other than those
identified as "disinterested" in the Fund's Private Placement Memorandum),
officers, employees, agents and Members of the Fund are or may be interested in
the Investment Manager (or any successor thereof) as directors, officers,
agents, shareholders or otherwise; (b) directors, officers, employees, agents
and shareholders of the Investment Manager are or may be interested in the Fund
as Directors (other than those identified as "disinterested" in the Fund's
Private Placement Memorandum), officers, Members or otherwise; and (c) the
Investment Manager (or any successor) is or may be interested in the Fund as a
Member or otherwise. The effect of any such interrelationships will be governed
by the LLC Agreement, the Investment Manager Organizational Documents, the
provisions of the 1940 Act and the provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of
1940.
15. Term. This Agreement will become effective as of the date first
written above and will continue for an initial two-year term and will continue
thereafter so long as the continuance is specifically approved at least annually
(a) by a majority vote of the Directors who are not parties to this Agreement or
interested persons of any party to this Agreement, cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (b) by a majority vote of
the Board of Directors or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Fund; provided however, that if the Members of the Fund fail
to approve the Agreement as provided in this Section 15, the Investment Manager
may continue to serve in such capacity in the manner and to the extent permitted
by the 1940 Act and the rules under that Act. This Agreement may be terminated
by the Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by vote of a
majority of the entire Board of Directors or by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund on 60 days' written notice to the
Investment Manager. This Agreement may be terminated by the Investment Manager
at any time, without the payment of any penalty, upon 60 days' written notice to
the Fund.
16. Use of Name. The Fund acknowledges that it adopted its name through
the permission of the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager hereby consents
to the non-exclusive use by the Fund of the name "X.X. Xxxxxx Atlas Global
Long/Short Equity Fund, L.L.C." only so long as the Investment Manager or one of
its affiliates serves as the investment manager of the Fund. The Fund agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Investment Manager and its affiliates from and
against any and all costs, losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, including, without limitation, attorney's fees and disbursements, which
may arise out of the Fund's use or misuse of the name "X.X. Xxxxxx Atlas Global
Long/Short Equity Fund, L.L.C." or out of any breach of or failure to comply
with this Section 16.
