Re: Appointment as Placement Agent Ladies and Gentlemen:
X.X. Xxxxxx Access Multi-Strategy Fund, L.L.C., a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Fund”), agrees with you as follows:
1. Fund Offering.
The Fund proposes to issue and to sell limited liability company interests (“Interests”) in accordance with a Private Placement Memorandum issued by the Fund, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Memorandum”).
2. Definitions.
All capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not separately defined in this Agreement have the respective meanings set out in the Memorandum.
3. Placement of Interests.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Fund appoints you as a placement agent in connection with the placement of Interests in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. This appointment is non-exclusive and we may appoint at any time and from time to time other placement agents in our sole discretion. Subject to the performance in all material respects by the Fund of its obligations under this Agreement, and to the completeness and accuracy in all material respects of all of the representations and warranties of the Fund contained in this Agreement, you accept such agency and agree on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement to use your best efforts to find qualified subscribers for Interests and to use all reasonable efforts to assist the Fund in obtaining performance by each subscriber.
(b) The offers and sales of Interests are to be effected pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) of that Act and/or Regulation D under that Act. Both you and the Fund have established the following procedures in connection with the offers and sales of Interests and agree that neither of you will make offers or sales of any Interests except in compliance with such procedures:
(i) Offers and sales of Interests will be made only in compliance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D under that Act and only to investors that qualify as “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501(a) under that Act.
(ii) Sales of Interests will be made only to investors that qualify as “qualified clients,” as defined in Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
(iii) No sale of Interests to any one investor will be for less than the minimum denominations as may be specified in the Memorandum; provided, that the Fund may from time to time vary such minimum denominations with respect to individual investors or categories of investors.
(iv) No offer or sale of Interests may be made in any state or foreign jurisdiction, or to any prospective investor located in any state or foreign jurisdiction, where such Interests have not been registered or qualified for offer and sale under applicable state or foreign securities laws unless such Interests are exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of such laws. In all instances, the Fund will inform you of the permissible states and foreign jurisdictions with respect to offers and sales of Interests. No offers or sales of Interests may be made in any other jurisdiction without the Fund’s advance approval.
(c) For purposes of the offering of Interests, the Fund has furnished to you copies of the Memorandum and subscription documentation that will be furnished to prospective investors. Additional copies will be furnished in such numbers as you may reasonably request for purposes of the offering. You are authorized to furnish to prospective investors only such information concerning the Fund and the offering as may be contained in the Memorandum or any written supplements to the Memorandum, or in any executive summary, “flip book” or other materials relating to the Fund, in each case as we have prepared or as you have prepared and we have reviewed and approved (our approval of any such other materials shall not relieve you of your obligation to ensure the accuracy of any such other materials, except to the extent you rely on information provided by the Fund in preparing such materials, or of your obligation to ensure that your use of all materials is in compliance with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations). You will keep a record of each prospective investor to which or to whom you furnish a copy of the Memorandum or other materials and will promptly provide us with such records at any time upon our written request.
4. Subscriptions for Interests.
(a) The Fund may from time to time, offer Interests to investors for purchase (“Subsequent Offerings”). The Fund expects that Subsequent Offerings will occur quarterly and that subscriptions for Interests will be accepted as of the first day of each calendar quarter subject to the discretion of the Fund and the Board to have Subsequent Offerings and accept subscriptions on other dates.
(b) All subscriptions for Interests and payments by subscribers of subscription amounts for Interests will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Memorandum and subscription documentation; provided, that the Fund may from time to time vary the minimum subscription amounts with respect to individual investors or classes of investors. Subscriptions will be subject to acceptance by the Fund, as described in Section 5 below.
(c) All payments received by you under this Agreement for subscriptions in the name and on behalf of the Fund will be handled by you in accordance with the terms of the subscription documentation.
(d) If the Fund rejects any subscriptions, it will notify the custodian for the Fund, and the custodian., as escrow agent for the Fund, or any other custodian or escrow agent who may be serving in such capacity at that time, to return all subscription payments to investors, plus accrued interest, if any.
5. Transmission of Subscriptions.

Subscriptions will be transmitted only if the investor: (a) has supplied properly completed subscription documentation or, in the case of an additional investment by an existing member, has supplied the proper short-form additional subscription document, which confirms
the representations and statements made in the previously-supplied subscription documentation; and (b) has made proper payment for Interests. Subscriptions will not be transmitted if it appears that any of the terms or conditions applicable to subscriptions for Interests as set out in the Memorandum, the subscription documentation, or Section 3(b) of this Agreement have not been satisfied, in which case you will use reasonable efforts to obtain properly completed subscription documentation and any other necessary information.

Any determination by the Fund to indemnify you for the foregoing liabilities will be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 17 of the 1940 Act. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability that the Fund may otherwise have incurred under this Agreement.
(b) You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, the Investment Manager and each controlling person of the Fund against any Losses to which you or they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other law or statute in any jurisdiction, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect of such Losses) arise out of or are based upon a breach by you of paragraphs 3(b), 3(c), 4(b), 6, 9(b), 9(c), 9(d) and 10(b) of this Agreement, or upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made by you, or an omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary to make a statement made by you not misleading, in connection with your placement of Interests; provided, however, that you will not be liable to the Fund or any controlling person of the Fund in any case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon a statement by you in reliance on or in conformity with the Memorandum or the subscription documentation, as such documents may be amended or supplemented from time to time, or other written information furnished to you or on your behalf through you by the Fund expressly for use in connection with the placement of Interests; and further provided that this indemnity will not protect the Fund, the Investment Manager and each controlling person of the Fund or any other person who may otherwise be entitled to indemnity under this Agreement from or against any liability to which they would be subject by reason of their own willful misfeasance, bad faith, or reckless disregard of their duties under this Agreement. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability that you may otherwise have incurred under this Agreement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 12(a) or (b) of this Agreement of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party will, if a claim in respect of the action is to be made against the indemnifying party under Section 12(a) or (b) of this Agreement, notify the party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement of the action. The failure so to notify an indemnifying party will not relieve it from any other liability which it may have under this Section 12 (except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure) or from any liability which it may have otherwise. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement of the action, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the action and, to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the notice from the indemnified party, to assume the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party, a conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for the indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel, the indemnified party will have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, in which event the fees and expenses of the separate counsel will be borne by the indemnifying party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume such defense and the approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party under Section 12(a) and (b) of this Agreement for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with the defense of such action other than reasonable costs of investigation unless (i) the indemnified party will have employed separate counsel in accordance with this Section 12(c) (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party or parties will not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the indemnified parties under Section 12(a) of this Agreement who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party or parties will not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party or parties have authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, liability for expenses will
be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). No indemnifying party will, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought under this Agreement by the indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of the proceeding.

The agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the parties and their officers set out in or made in accordance with this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of (a) any termination of this Agreement, (b) any investigation made by or on behalf of you, or the Fund, the Investment Manager, any Directors serving on the Board of Directors of the Fund, directors or officers of any of the foregoing or any person controlling any of the foregoing, and (c) acceptance of any payments for Interests under this Agreement.
