Securities, in the name, and for the account and risk, of SCH, including the
power and authority to do any of the following things, in the sole discretion of
Advisor, without prior approvals and directions from, or consultations with, SCH
or any Custodian:

as such term is defined and used in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
("Exchange Act") and under Rule 13(d)-3, as promulgated under the Exchange Act;

(including initial public offerings) and private placements;
(d) to engage directly in investment activities of the kind
contemplated by clause (c) above;
(e) to invest in limited partnerships managed by Advisor (in which

(h) to select and engage other investment advisers as sub-advisers
to SCH, enter into and terminate agreements with those sub-advisers on terms and
conditions approved by Advisor, and monitor the performance of the sub-advisers.
As used in this Section 3, the term "Securities" encompasses common stock,
preferred stock, warrants, convertible securities, bonds, notes, options, shares
of investment companies, partnership interests, interests in REITs, derivative
instruments, and any similar or related investment instruments or vehicles.
2.2 CUSTODIAN INSTRUCTIONS. SCH authorizes Advisor to give written
instructions to each Custodian at any time and from time to time to (a) deliver
Securities sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of from SCH, upon receipt of
payment for such Securities, (b) pay cash for Securities delivered to a
Custodian upon acquisition for SCH. SCH authorizes and directs each Custodian to
follow such instructions. Except for payment of fees under Section 4 below, this
authority shall not include the authority to cause Securities or cash to be
delivered to Advisor.
2.3 OTHER AUTHORIZATIONS. SCH, at its expense, shall promptly and
duly execute and deliver such documents and assurances, including, but not
limited to, any powers of attorney and authorizations to buy, sell or otherwise
dispose of any assets held by SCH, and shall take such further action as the
Advisor may from time to time request in order to carry out the intent and
purpose of this Agreement and the other agreements and transactions contemplated
herein, including, but not limited to, voting of the Securities and the
acquisition and disposition thereof in accordance with the power and authority
granted Advisor hereunder and thereunder, and to establish and protect the
rights and remedies created or intended to be created in favor of Advisor
hereunder. Further, SCH will furnish, and direct any Custodian engaged by SCH or
Advisor to furnish, such additional authorizations as may be requested from time
to time by Advisor, or by brokers or other third parties with which SCH has
dealings, in order to implement the authority granted in this Section 2 or
otherwise carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES.
3.1 MANAGEMENT FEE. The Management Fee is calculated at the annual
rate of 2.0% of the net assets of SCH. The Management Fee will be paid quarterly
in advance based on the value of the net assets of SCH as of the first day of
each calendar quarter (adjusted for subscriptions made during the quarter). SCH
will pay the Management Fee in U.S. dollars promptly following the beginning of
such quarter, unless the Advisor elects to defer receipt of the Management Fee
as further described below. The Management Fee will be prorated for any period
that is less than a full calendar quarter, and will be deducted in computing the
net profit or net loss of SCH. For purposes of this agreement the effective date
for billing purposes is July 1, 2002. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SCH,
with the consent of the Advisor, may waive or reduce the Management Fee with
regard to certain shareholders that are employees or affiliates of the Advisor,
relatives of such persons, and for certain strategic investors.
3.2 INCENTIVE FEE. The Incentive Fee is an amount, paid annually,
equal to twenty percent (20%) of the net profits, if any, during each fiscal
year allocable to SCH, subject to a loss carryforward. If SCH has a loss
chargeable to it during any fiscal year, and during a subsequent fiscal year
there is a profit allocable to SCH, there will be no Incentive Fee payable
with respect to SCH until the amount of the loss previously allocated has been
recouped. Advisor will be paid the Incentive Fee within 30 days after the end of
the fiscal year.
In the event that the Management Agreement is terminated prior
to the last day of any fiscal year, the Incentive Fee for that fiscal year will
be computed as if the termination date was the end of such fiscal year.
3.3 EXPENSES. SCH is responsible for all expenses related to the
management of SCH, including all Custodian fees and expenses, sub-adviser
performance fees, sub-adviser asset-based fees, bank service fees, wire transfer
fees, exchange fees, debit-balance interest and similar administrative and
transaction costs. These costs and expenses will be debited to SCH as they are
incurred and will be promptly paid by SCH.
4. MANAGEMENT FEE BILLING. SCH specifically authorizes its custodian
Bank(s) to pay Advisor's fees upon receipt of Advisor's invoice, pursuant to the
provisions of such fees as stated in section 3 of this agreement.
5. STANDARD OF CARE. SCH acknowledges that the investment strategies
contemplated for SCH entail inherent risks and that Advisor does not guarantee
either that SCH will realize any particular return or that there will not be
losses by SCH. Advisor shall not be liable to SCH or any Custodian for Advisor's
acts or omissions or SCH losses.
6. TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated by either party on 90
days' written notice. The incentive fee provisions of section 3.2 remain in
effect until all investments made by SCH prior to the termination date have been
sold, in the event of a termination by SCH.
7. MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 ASSIGNMENT. Advisor will not assign this Agreement without
SCH's prior written consent.
7.2 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement. It supersedes all prior written and oral understandings on this
subject.
7.3 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement is governed by Bermuda law.
7.4 SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to
the benefit of, SCH and Advisor and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.
7.5 SIGNATURES.
