DEALER MANAGER AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.1
July 25, 2025
TCG Capital Markets L.L.C.
One Vanderbilt Avenue
Suite 3400
New York, NY 10017
This Dealer Manager Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Carlyle Private Equity
Partners Fund, L.P. (the “Fund”) and CPEP ▇▇▇▇▇▇, L.P. (the “Feeder”), each a Delaware limited partnership (the
Fund and the Feeder, collectively, the “Partnership”), and TCG Capital Markets L.L.C. (the “Dealer Manager”).
The Partnership is conducting a private placement offering (the “Offering”) in accordance with Rule
506(b) of Regulation D and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the
Partnership’s limited partnership units (the “Units”), which may consist of the classes of Units described below and
in detail in the Memorandum (as defined below) (each a “Class”).
Under the terms of the Offering, as set forth in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of the
Partnership (including any supplements and amendments and/or restatements thereto, all financial statements,
appendices and all other documents which are part thereof, the “Memorandum”), Units will be issued and sold at the
offering prices per Unit set forth in the Memorandum. In connection with the Offering, the minimum initial
subscription amount by any one person shall be as set forth in the Memorandum (except as otherwise accepted by
the Dealer Manager pursuant to its discretion to accept lesser amounts).
The Partnership is offering ten Classes of Units through this Agreement: Class S Units, Class D Units,
Class I Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class A-I Units, Class E-S Units, Class E-D Units, Class E-I Units
and Class C Units. For the avoidance of doubt, any reference to Class S Units, Class D Units, Class I Units, Class A-
S Units, Class A-D Units, Class A-I Units, Class E-S Units, Class E-D Units, Class E-I Units and/or Class C Units
shall include each of the Fund’s Class S Units, Class D Units, Class I Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class
A-I Units, Class E-S Units, Class E-D Units, Class E-I Units and/or Class C Units and the Feeder’s Class STE Units,
Class DTE Units, Class ITE Units, Class A-STE Units, Class A-DTE Units, Class A-ITE Units, Class E-STE Units, Class
E-DTE Units, Class E-ITE Units and/or Class CTE Units. The differences between the Classes of Units and the
eligibility requirements for each Class are described in detail in the Memorandum. The Units are to be offered and
sold as described in the Memorandum. Except as otherwise agreed by the Partnership and the Dealer Manager,
Units are to be sold through the Dealer Manager, as the dealer manager, and the broker-dealers and other financial
intermediaries (each a “Dealer” and collectively, the “Dealers”) with whom the Dealer Manager has entered into or
will enter into a selected dealer agreement related to the distribution of Units substantially in the form attached to
this Agreement as Exhibit A or such other form as approved by the Partnership (each a “Selected Dealer
Agreement”), at a purchase price equal to the Partnership’s net asset value (“NAV”) per unit as of the last calendar
day of the immediately preceding month applicable to the Class of Units being purchased (as calculated in
accordance with the procedures described in the Memorandum). For unitholders who have not “opted out” of the
Partnership’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”), the cash distributions attributable to the Class of Units
that each unitholder owns will be automatically reinvested in additional Units of the same Class. Units issued under
the DRIP are to be issued to unitholders of the Partnership at a purchase price equal to the most recent available
NAV per Unit for such Units at the time the distribution is payable.
Terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Memorandum. Now, therefore, the
Partnership ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees with the Dealer Manager as follows:
1.Representations and Warranties of the Partnership: The Partnership represents and warrants to
the Dealer Manager and each Dealer participating in an Offering, with respect to such Offering, as applicable, that:
2
▇.▇▇ is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Units to investors
in the manner contemplated by this Agreement to register the Units under the Securities Act. The
Partnership is conducting this offering of Units as a private placement and will not take any action that (i)
causes the offering of the Units to lose any exemption from registration with the SEC provided by Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or any regulations promulgated thereunder or (ii) causes the offering of
Units to lose its exemption from registration provided by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the Securities
Act.
b.The Partnership has been duly and validly organized and formed as a limited partnership
under the laws of the state of Delaware, with the power and authority to conduct its business as described in
the Memorandum, and to offer and sell the Units as contemplated by the Memorandum and this Agreement.
The Partnership is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify would not have
a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Partnership, or the earnings,
business affairs or business prospects of the Partnership.
c.The Memorandum, as of its date, does not and will not contain any untrue statements of
material facts or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided,
however, that the foregoing provision of this Section 1.c. will not extend to any statements contained in or
omitted from the Memorandum that are primarily within the knowledge of the Dealer Manager or any of
the Dealers and are based upon information furnished by the Dealer Manager in writing to the Partnership
specifically for inclusion therein.
d.The Partnership intends to use the funds received from the sale of the Units as set forth in
the Memorandum.
▇.▇▇ consent, approval, authorization or order of, or any filing or declaration with, any
court or governmental authority or agency, national securities exchange or futures association is required in
connection with the execution by the Partnership of this Agreement or the issuance and sale by the
Partnership of the Units, except such filings as may be required under the Securities Act or Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or applicable state securities laws, which have been or will
be timely filed.
f.Unless otherwise described in the Memorandum, there are no actions, suits or
proceedings pending or to the knowledge of the Partnership, threatened against the Partnership at law or in
equity or before or by any federal or state commission, regulatory body or administrative agency or other
governmental body, domestic or foreign, which will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
Partnership to conduct its business as described in the Memorandum.
g.The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions
herein contemplated and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the Partnership will not conflict
with or constitute a default under any partnership agreement, by-law, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
lease, rule, regulation, writ, injunction or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court,
domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Partnership, in each case, that would reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to conduct its business as
described in the Memorandum, except to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnity and/or
contribution provisions contained in Section 5 of this Agreement may be limited under applicable laws.
h.The Partnership has full legal right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and
to perform the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent that the enforceability of the
indemnity and/or contribution provisions contained in Section 5 of this Agreement may be limited under
applicable laws.
3
▇.▇▇ the time of the issuance of the Units, the Units will have been duly authorized and,
when issued and sold as contemplated by the Memorandum and the Fund’s and the Feeder’s amended and
restated limited partnership agreements (each as may be further amended and/or restated from time to time,
the “Partnership Agreement”), and upon payment therefor as provided by the Memorandum and this
Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will conform to the description thereof
contained in the Memorandum.
j.The Partnership has filed all material federal, state and foreign income tax returns, which
have been required to be filed, on or before the due date (taking into account all extensions of time to file)
and has paid or provided for the payment of all taxes indicated by said returns and all assessments received
by the Partnership to the extent that such taxes or assessments have become due, except where the
Partnership is contesting such assessments in good faith and except for such taxes and assessments of
immaterial amounts, the failure of which to pay would not have a material adverse effect on the condition,
financial or otherwise, of the Partnership, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the
Partnership.
k.The financial statements of the Partnership included or incorporated by reference in the
Memorandum present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Partnership as of the date
indicated and the results of its operations for the periods specified; said financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis (except
as may be expressly stated in the related notes thereto).
l.The Partnership is not required to register as an “investment company,” as that term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and the rules and
regulations thereunder, in reliance upon an exemption under Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act, and it will
exercise reasonable diligence to ensure that it does not lose such exemption or otherwise become required
to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the 1940 Act.
▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Investment Management L.L.C. (the “Investment Advisor”) will use
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any information regarding the Investment Advisor, the
General Partner or the Partnership (including information in the Offering Materials (as defined below)) that
would be an “advertisement” of the Investment Advisor, and that is furnished to the Dealer Manager or any
Dealer and required or permitted under this Agreement to be distributed to the Dealer Manager, a Dealer or
Dealer’s customer in connection with the offering of Units, including, without limitation, the Memorandum
and the Authorized Sales Materials (as defined below), is, and at the time such material is provided to
Dealer Manager or a Dealer, in compliance with the requirements applicable to “advertisements” under
Rule 206(4)-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”) (as such term
is defined in the Marketing Rule (defined below)). The Partnership acknowledges that the Dealer Manager
is not responsible for ensuring that any materials received from the Investment Advisor or the Partnership
that would be deemed an “advertisement” of the Investment Advisor under Rule 206(4)-1 under the
Advisers Act (the “Marketing Rule”) (including the Offering Materials) comply with the Marketing Rule
provided that the Dealer Manager has not altered such materials.
n.Any and all printed sales literature or other materials which have been approved in
advance in writing by the Investment Advisor and the Partnership for use in the Offering (“Authorized
Sales Materials”) (the Memorandum and the Authorized Sales Materials, as the same may be amended or
supplemented, are referred to herein collectively as the “Offering Materials”) prepared by the Partnership
and any of its affiliates (excluding the Dealer Manager) specifically for use with potential investors in
connection with the Offering, when used in conjunction with the Memorandum, did not at the time
provided for use, and, as to later provided materials, will not at the time provided for use, include any
untrue statement of a material fact nor did they at the time provided for use, or, as to later provided
materials, will they, omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made and when read in conjunction
with the Memorandum, not misleading. If at any time any event occurs which is known to the Partnership
4
as a result of which such Authorized Sales Materials when used in conjunction with the Memorandum
would include an untrue statement of a material fact or, in view of the circumstances under which they were
made, omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the
Partnership will notify the Dealer Manager thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein: (i) the
description in the Offering Materials of the substantive provisions of the Partnership’s governing
document(s) is a summary thereof, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by, and is
subject to, the terms and provisions of the Partnership’s governing document(s); and (ii) any forecasted
financial, market or industry information contained in the Offering Materials will be based upon reasonable
estimates by CPEP General Partner, L.P., as the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”).
2.Covenants of the Partnership. The Partnership covenants and agrees with the Dealer Manager
that:
▇.▇▇ will, at no expense to the Dealer Manager, furnish the Dealer Manager with such
number of printed copies of the Memorandum, including all amendments and exhibits thereto, as the Dealer
Manager may reasonably request. It will similarly furnish to the Dealer Manager and others designated by
the Dealer Manager as many copies of the following documents as the Dealer Manager may reasonably
request: (i) this Agreement and (ii) any other Authorized Sales Materials (provided that the use of said
Authorized Sales Materials has been first approved for use by all appropriate regulatory agencies, if
applicable).
▇.▇▇ will furnish such proper information and execute and file such documents as may be
necessary for the Partnership to qualify the Units for offer and sale under the securities laws of such
jurisdictions as the Dealer Manager may reasonably designate and will file and make in each year such
statements and reports as may be required, it being understood that the Partnership will not be required to
register the Offering under the Securities Act. The Partnership will furnish to the Dealer Manager upon
request a copy of such papers filed by the Partnership in connection with any such qualification.
c.If during the Offering any event occurs as a result of which, in the opinion of either the
Partnership or the Dealer Manager, the Memorandum would include an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in view of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, the Partnership will promptly notify the Dealer Manager
thereof (unless the information shall have been received from the Dealer Manager) and will effect the
preparation of an amended or supplemental Memorandum which will correct such statement or omission.
d.The Partnership agrees to promptly notify the Dealer Manager in the event that any of the
representations and warranties set forth herein becomes materially inaccurate, or in the event that any
covenant or condition on their part to be performed or satisfied has been breached or not satisfied in any
material respect.
3.Obligations and Compensation of Dealer Manager.
a.The Partnership hereby appoints the Dealer Manager as its agent and principal distributor
for the purpose of selling the Units as set forth in the Memorandum through Dealers, all of whom shall be
(i) members of good standing with FINRA and duly registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), and under the laws of each state and/or, to the extent required, the equivalent thereof in
any other jurisdiction or (ii) duly registered under the laws of any applicable non-U.S. jurisdiction, to the
extent required, to conduct the activity contemplated hereunder. The Dealer Manager hereby accepts such
agency and distributorship and agrees to use its best efforts to sell the Units on said terms and conditions
set forth in the Memorandum with respect to the Offering and any additional terms or conditions specified
in Schedule 1 to this Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time. The Dealer Manager represents
to the Partnership that it is duly registered as a broker-dealer pursuant to the Exchange Act, and in all
applicable U.S. states, and is a member in good standing of FINRA and that it and its employees and
5
representatives have all required licenses and registrations to act under this Agreement. Further, if the
foregoing representation ceases to be correct at any time during the Dealer Manager’s engagement
hereunder, the Dealer Manager shall notify the Investment Advisor and the Partnership. With respect to the
Dealer Manager’s participation in the distribution of the Units in the Offering, the Dealer Manager agrees
to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Memorandum, the Securities Act,
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, and all other state or federal laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Offering
and the sale of Units, all applicable state securities or blue sky laws and regulations, and the rules of
FINRA applicable to the Offering, from time to time in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the Dealer
Manager will not take any action that: (i) constitutes a public offering of or for the Units within the
meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or general solicitation of prospective investors in the
Partnership within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated thereunder; (ii) causes the offering of the
Units to lose any exemption from registration with the SEC provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities
Act; (iii) causes the Partnership to lose its exemption under Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act; or (iv) causes
the Units to be required to be registered under any non-U.S. laws.
b.Promptly after the date of this Agreement, the Dealer Manager and the Dealers shall
commence the offering of the Units in the Offering in jurisdictions in which the Units are registered or
qualified for sale or in which such offering is otherwise permitted. The Dealer Manager and the Dealers
will immediately suspend or terminate offering of the Units upon request of the Partnership at any time and
will resume offering the Units upon subsequent request of the Partnership.
c. Except as may be provided in the Memorandum, the Partnership or its affiliates will pay
to the Dealer Manager a unitholder servicing fee with respect to sales of Class S Units, Class D Units, Class
A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class E-S Units and Class E-D Units (the “Servicing Fee”) and the Dealer
Manager may permit Dealers to charge upfront selling commissions, placement fees, subscription fees or
similar fees (“Subscription Fees”), all as described in Schedule 1 to this Agreement. The Partnership or its
affiliates will pay the Servicing Fee to the Dealer Manager monthly in arrears. The Dealer Manager may
reallocate all or a portion of the Servicing Fee to any Dealers who sold the Class S Units, Class D Units,
Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class E-S Units and Class E-D Units giving rise to a portion of such
Servicing Fee to the extent the Selected Dealer Agreement with such Dealer provides for such a
reallocation and such Dealer is in compliance with the terms of such Selected Dealer Agreement related to
such reallocation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the terms of the Memorandum, at such time as
the Dealer who sold the Class S Units, Class D Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class E-S Units or
Class E-D Units giving rise to a portion of the Servicing Fee is no longer the broker-dealer of record with
respect to such Class S Units, Class D Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class E-S Units or Class E-
D Units or the Dealer no longer satisfies any or all of the conditions in its Selected Dealer Agreement for
the receipt of the Servicing Fee, then Dealer’s entitlement to the Servicing Fees related to such Class S
Units, Class D Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class E-S Units and/or Class E-D Units, as
applicable, shall cease in, and Dealer shall not receive the Servicing Fee for, that month or any portion
thereof (i.e., Servicing Fees are payable with respect to an entire month without any proration). Broker-
dealer transfers will be made effective as of the start of the first business day of a month.
Thereafter, such Servicing Fees may be reallocated to the then-current broker-dealer of record of
the Class S Units, Class D Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class E-S Units and/or Class E-D
Units, as applicable, if any such broker-dealer of record has been designated (the “Servicing Dealer”), to
the extent such Servicing Dealer has entered into a Selected Dealer Agreement or similar agreement with
the Dealer Manager (“Servicing Agreement”), such Selected Dealer Agreement or Servicing Agreement
with the Servicing Dealer provides for such reallocation and the Servicing Dealer is in compliance with the
terms of such Selected Dealer Agreement or Servicing Agreement related to such reallocation. In this
regard, all determinations will be made by the Dealer Manager in good faith in its sole discretion. The
Dealer is not entitled to any Servicing Fee with respect to Class I Units, Class A-I Units, Class E-I Units or
Class C Units. The Dealer Manager may also reallocate some or all of the Servicing Fee to other broker-
dealers who provide services with respect to the Units (who shall be considered additional Servicing
6
Dealers) pursuant to a Servicing Agreement with the Dealer Manager to the extent such Servicing
Agreement provides for such reallocation and such additional Servicing Dealer is in compliance with the
terms of such agreement related to such reallocation, in accordance with the terms of such Servicing
Agreement.
d.The terms of any reallocation of the Servicing Fee shall be set forth in the Selected
Dealer Agreement or Servicing Agreement entered into with the Dealers or Servicing Dealers, as
applicable. The Partnership will not be liable or responsible to any Dealer or Servicing Dealer for direct
payment of commissions, or any reallocation of the Servicing Fee to such Dealer or Servicing Dealer, it
being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager for the reallocation of the Servicing Fee
to Dealers and Servicing Dealers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the discretion of the Partnership, the
Partnership or its affiliates may act as agent of the Dealer Manager by making direct payment of Servicing
Fees to Dealers on behalf of the Dealer Manager without incurring any liability. Further, the Partnership
and the Dealer Manager are not responsible for any Subscription Fee charged by Dealers, the terms of
which shall be set forth in the applicable Selected Dealer Agreement.
▇.▇▇ addition to the other items of underwriting compensation set forth in this Section 3, the
Partnership and/or the Investment Advisor, or its affiliates, shall reimburse the Dealer Manager for all items
of underwriting compensation referenced in the Memorandum, to the extent the Memorandum indicates
that they will be paid by the Partnership or the Investment Advisor, as applicable.
f.The Dealer Manager represents and warrants to the Partnership and its affiliates that the
information in the Memorandum and all other information furnished to the Partnership by the Dealer
Manager in writing expressly for use in the Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, does
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
g.The Dealer Manager and all Dealers will offer and sell the Units at the prices per Unit as
determined in accordance with the Memorandum.
▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇ Manager agrees to promptly notify the Partnership, General Partner and the
Investment Advisor in the event that any of the representations and warranties set forth herein becomes
materially inaccurate, or in the event that any covenant or condition on their part to be performed or
satisfied has been breached or not satisfied in any material respect.
i.The Dealer Manager may delegate the performance of any obligation under this
Agreement to the General Partner, its affiliate or an authorized agent of the Dealer Manager; for the
avoidance of doubt, delegation of the performance of any obligation hereunder shall not relieve the Dealer
Manager of any obligation under this Agreement.
▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇ Manager Representations, Warranties and Covenants Regarding Rule 206(4)-1 under the
Advisers Act.
a.The Dealer Manager represents and warrants to the Partnership that it will not engage or
retain, or assign or delegate its rights or obligations hereunder to, any Dealer to assist the Dealer Manager
in the offer, sale, marketing or promotion of Units without the prior written approval of the General Partner.
Any approved Dealer shall be required to enter into an agreement with the Dealer Manager, which the
Dealer Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to include representations, warranties
and covenants sufficient for the Investment Advisor to be able to demonstrate its reasonable belief that, in
connection with the services or activities performed by the Dealer under such Selected Dealer Agreement,
the Dealer will use its best efforts to ensure that each “endorsement” or “testimonial” (as defined in the
Marketing Rule) complies with the requirements of the Marketing Rule. The Dealer Manager will use
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Investment Advisor’s requests for information
required for purposes of compliance with the Marketing Rule.
7
▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇ Manager agrees to promptly notify the Partnership, General Partner and the
Investment Advisor in the event that any of the representations and warranties set forth in a Selected Dealer
Agreement becomes materially inaccurate, or in the event that any covenant or condition on Dealer’s part to
be performed or satisfied has been breached or not satisfied in any material respect.
5.Indemnification.
▇.▇▇ the extent permitted by the Partnership’s governing documents, and subject to the
limitations below, including Section 5.g., the Partnership agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Dealers and the Dealer Manager, their officers, directors, employees and each person, if any, who controls
such Dealer or Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (the “Indemnified
Persons”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (“Losses”) to which such
Indemnified Persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar
as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any material violation of this
Agreement by the Partnership or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering
Materials or omission to state in the Offering Materials a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided, however, the
Partnership will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon
an untrue statement or omission made in the Offering Materials in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished (x) to the Partnership by the Dealer Manager or (y) to the Partnership or the
Dealer Manager by or on behalf of any Dealer specifically for use in the Offering Materials. The
Partnership will reimburse the Dealer Manager and each Indemnified Person of the Dealer Manager for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Dealer Manager or such Indemnified Person in
connection with investigating or defending such Loss.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.a., the Partnership will not be liable for the
portion of any Loss in any such case if it is determined that such Dealer or the Dealer Manager was at fault
in connection with such portion of the Loss.
Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in connection with investigating,
preparing, pursuing or defending any civil or criminal action, suit, inquiry or proceeding arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement, may be paid by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of such
action, suit, inquiry or proceeding pursuant to a written agreement which provides, inter alia, that if such
Indemnified Person is advanced such expenses and it is finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction or in a final arbitration proceeding that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to
indemnification with respect to such action, suit, inquiry or proceeding or if such Indemnified Person
admitted guilt in a settlement of such action, suit, inquiry or proceeding, then such Indemnified Person shall
reimburse the Partnership for such advances.
The foregoing indemnity agreement of this Section 5.a. is subject to the further condition that, insofar as it
relates to any untrue statement or omission made in the Memorandum (or amendment or supplement
thereto) that was eliminated or remedied in any subsequent amendment or supplement thereto, such
indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of an Indemnified Person from whom the person
asserting any Losses purchased the Units that are the subject thereof, if a copy of the Memorandum as so
amended or supplemented was not sent or given to such person at or prior to the time the subscription of
such person was accepted by the Partnership, but only if a copy of the Memorandum as so amended or
supplemented had been supplied to the Dealer Manager or the Dealer prior to such acceptance.
b.The Dealer Manager agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Partnership, its
officers, directors, employees and each person, if any, who controls the Partnership within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act (the “Partnership Indemnified Persons”), from and against any and all
Losses to which any of the Partnership Indemnified Persons may become subject, under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon (i) any material violation of this Agreement by the Dealer Manager; (ii) any untrue statement of
8
a material fact contained in the Offering Materials or omission to state in the Offering Materials a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, provided that this clause (ii) applies, to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or omission in the Offering Materials was made in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager
specifically for use with reference to the Dealer Manager in the preparation of the Offering Materials; (iii)
any use of sales literature not authorized or approved by the Partnership or any use of “broker-dealer use
only” materials by the Dealer Manager in the offer and sale of the Units or any use of sales literature in a
particular jurisdiction if such material bears a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with
the sale of Units in such jurisdiction; (iv) any untrue statement made by the Dealer Manager or its
representatives or agents or omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of
the Units; (v) any failure to comply with applicable laws governing privacy issues, money laundering
abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts, including applicable rules of the SEC, FINRA and the USA
PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “USA Patriot Act”); or (vi) any other failure to comply with applicable rules of
FINRA or federal or state securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Dealer
Manager will reimburse the aforesaid parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending such Loss, expense or action. This indemnity agreement will be
in addition to any liability that the Dealer Manager may otherwise have.
▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇ Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each Dealer
severally will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Partnership, the Dealer Manager, each of their
officers, directors, employees and each person, if any, who controls the Partnership or the Dealer Manager
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (the “Dealer Indemnified Persons”) from and against
any and all Losses to which a Dealer Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon (i) any material violation by the Dealer of this Agreement or the Selected Dealer Agreement entered
into between the Dealer Manager and the Dealer; (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the Offering Materials or omission to state in the Offering Materials a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, provided that this clause (ii) applies, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such
untrue statement or omission in the Offering Materials was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Partnership or the Dealer Manager by or on behalf of the Dealer
specifically for use with reference to the Dealer in the preparation of the Offering Materials; (iii) any use of
sales literature not authorized or approved by the Partnership or any use of “broker-dealer use only”
materials by the Dealer in the offer and sale of the Units or any use of sales literature in a particular
jurisdiction if such material bears a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of
Units in such jurisdiction; (iv) any untrue statement made by the Dealer or its representatives or agents or
omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of the Units; (v) any failure or
alleged failure to comply with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, laws governing privacy
issues, money laundering abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts, including applicable rules of the
SEC, FINRA and the USA Patriot Act; or (vi) any other failure or alleged failure to comply with applicable
rules of FINRA or federal or state securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Each such Dealer will reimburse each Dealer Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, expense or
action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that such Dealer may otherwise have.
d.Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against any indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof. The failure of an indemnified party to so notify the indemnifying party will relieve
the indemnifying party from any liability under this Section 5 as to the particular item for which
indemnification is then being sought, but not from any other liability that it may have to any indemnified
9
party. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying
party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with
separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to
reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section 5.e.) incurred
by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying
party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which
indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on
account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party.
Any indemnified party shall not be bound to perform or refrain from performing any act pursuant to the
terms of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnified party.
e.The indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the indemnified party in
the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obliged
to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims
arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such
actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If
such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the
indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has
been selected by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and in
the event a majority of such indemnified parties are unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses
or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of
record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to
the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm
on account of legal services performed by another law firm.
f.The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 5 shall remain operative and in full
force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Dealer, or any person
controlling any Dealer, or by or on behalf of the Partnership, the Dealer Manager or any officer or director
thereof, or by or on behalf of any person controlling the Partnership or the Dealer Manager, (ii) delivery of
any Units and payment therefor, or (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor of any Dealer or of
any of the parties to this Agreement, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity
agreements contained in this Section 5.
g.For the avoidance of doubt, at the sole discretion of the Dealer Manager and solely upon
written request from a third party intermediary engaged by the Dealer Manager, the Dealer Manager may
agree on behalf of itself and the Partnership, if applicable, to provide the benefits of the indemnity
agreements contained in this Section 5 and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 1 herein
to certain third party intermediaries, which such agreement shall be evidenced in writing (“Written
Confirmation”) and shall be in full force and effect upon such third party intermediary’s receipt of the
Written Confirmation.
6.Survival of Provisions.
a.The respective agreements, representations and warranties of the Partnership and the
Dealer Manager set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of
(i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager or any Dealer or any person controlling
the Dealer Manager or any Dealer or by or on behalf of the Partnership or any person controlling the
Partnership, or (ii) the acceptance of any payment for the Units.
b.The respective agreements of the Partnership and the Dealer Manager set forth in
Sections 3.c. through 3.e. and Sections 5 through 14 of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full
force and effect regardless of any termination of this Agreement.

the Partnership and their respective successors. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed

party shall have failed to comply with any material provision hereof. Upon expiration or termination of this
Agreement, (a) the Partnership shall pay to the Dealer Manager all earned but unpaid compensation and
reimbursement for all incurred, accountable compensation to which the Dealer Manager is or becomes entitled under
Section 3 pursuant to the requirements of Section 3 at such times as such amounts become payable pursuant to the
terms of Section 3, offset by any losses suffered by the Partnership or any officer or director of the Partnership
arising from the Dealer Manager’s breach of this Agreement or an action that would otherwise give rise to an
indemnification claim against the Dealer Manager under Section 5.b. herein, and (b) the Dealer Manager shall
promptly deliver to the Partnership all records and documents in its possession that relate to the Offering other than
as required by law to be retained by the Dealer Manager. Dealer Manager shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cooperate with the Partnership to accomplish an orderly transfer of management of the Offering to a party
designated by the Partnership.
11.Confirmation. The Partnership hereby agrees and assumes the duty to confirm on its behalf and
on behalf of Dealers who sell the Units all orders for purchase of Units accepted by the Partnership. Such
confirmations will comply with the rules of the SEC and FINRA, and will comply with applicable laws of such other
jurisdictions to the extent the Partnership is advised of such laws in writing by the Dealer Manager.
12.Memorandum and Authorized Sales Materials. Dealer Manager agrees that it is not authorized or
permitted to give and will not give, any information or make any representation concerning the Units except as set
forth in the Offering Materials. The Dealer Manager further agrees (a) not to deliver any Authorized Sales Materials
to any investor or prospective investor, to any broker-dealer that has not entered into a Selected Dealer Agreement
or Servicing Agreement, or to any representatives or other associated persons of such a broker-dealer, unless it is
accompanied or preceded by the Memorandum as amended and supplemented, (b) not to show or give to any
investor or prospective investor or reproduce any material or writing that is supplied to it by the Partnership and
marked “dealer only” or otherwise bearing a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of
Units and (c) not to show or give to any investor or prospective investor in a particular jurisdiction (and will
similarly require Dealers pursuant to the Selected Dealer Agreement) any material or writing that is supplied to it by
the Partnership if such material bears a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Units
11
in such jurisdiction. Dealer Manager, in its agreements with Dealers, will include requirements and obligations of
the Dealers similar to those imposed upon the Dealer Manager pursuant to this section.
13.Suitability of Investors. The Dealer Manager, in its agreements with Dealers, will require that the
Dealers offer Units only to persons who meet the financial qualifications set forth in the Memorandum or in any
suitability letter or memorandum sent to it by the Partnership and will only make offers to persons in the
jurisdictions in which it is advised in writing that the Units are qualified for sale or that such qualification is not
required. In offering Units, the Dealer Manager, in its agreements with Dealers, will require that the Dealer comply
with the provisions of all applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors, including, without
limitation, the provisions of Rule 15l-1 under the Exchange Act (“Regulation Best Interest”), Regulation D under the
Securities Act and Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act. The Dealer Manager, in its agreements with Dealers, will
require that the Dealers shall sell Class S Units, Class D Units, Class I Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units,
Class A-I Units, Class E-S Units, Class E-D Units, Class E-I Units, Class C Units and/or any other Units described

the Dealers, shall require the Dealers to maintain a record of the information obtained to determine that an investor
meets the financial qualification and suitability standards imposed on the offer and sale of the Units.
14.Submission of Orders. The Dealer Manager will require in its agreements with each Dealer that
each Dealer comply with the submission of orders procedures set forth in the Memorandum and in the form of
Selected Dealer Agreement attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement. If the Dealer Manager receives a completed
and executed subscription agreement (a “Subscription Agreement”) or check or wire transfer (“instrument of
payment”) not conforming to the instructions set forth in the form of Selected Dealer Agreement, the Dealer
Manager shall return such Subscription Agreement and instrument of payment directly to such subscriber no later
than the end of the next business day following its receipt. Instruments of payment of rejected subscribers will be

Compensation
I.Servicing Fees
The Partnership or its affiliates will pay to the Dealer Manager a Servicing Fee in the amount of (a) 0.85% per
annum of the aggregate NAV for the Class S Units, Class A-S Units and Class E-S Units as of the last day of each
month and (b) 0.25% per annum of the aggregate NAV for the Class D Units, Class A-D Units and Class E-D Units
as of the last day of each month, in each case, payable monthly. The Partnership or its affiliates will not pay to the
Dealer Manager a Servicing Fee in respect of the purchase of any Class I Units, Class A-I Units, Class E-I Units and
Class C Units. In calculating the Servicing Fee, the Partnership will use its NAV before giving effect to any accruals
for the Servicing Fee, redemptions for that month, if any, and distributions payable on the Units.
II. Subscription Fees
The Dealer Manager is authorized to enter into arrangements that allow the Dealers to charge Subscription Fees, on
purchases and sales of Units, to the extent the Memorandum discloses that such fees may be charged for the relevant
Class of Units. Any Subscription Fee, including upfront placement fees or selling commissions, charged by Dealers
in connection with its sale of Units will be charged in a manner consistent with the Memorandum and applicable law
and FINRA rules. Purchases and sales of such Units may only be executed as purchases or redemptions between the
investor and the Partnership and Dealers shall not execute trades of Units between investors. For the avoidance of
doubt, subscription funds may be transmitted to the Partnership net of any Subscription Fees.

FORM OF SELECTED DEALER AGREEMENT

SELECTED DEALER AGREEMENT
TCG Capital Markets L.L.C. (the “Dealer Manager”), as the dealer manager for each of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Private Equity Partners Fund, L.P. (the “Fund”) and CPEP Feeder, L.P. (the “Feeder”), each a Delaware
limited partnership (the Fund and the Feeder, collectively, the “Partnership”), invites you (the “Dealer”)
to participate in the offer and sale of limited partnership units of the Partnership (“Units”) to certain of the
Dealer’s qualified customers (“Customers”) subject to the following terms:
▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇ Manager Agreement
The Dealer Manager has entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with the Partnership dated
July 25, 2025 (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”). Except as otherwise specifically stated herein, all terms
used in this Selected Dealer Agreement (this “Agreement”) have the meanings provided in the Dealer
Manager Agreement.
As described in the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Partnership is conducting an ongoing private
placement offering (the “Offering”) in accordance with Rule 506(b) of Regulation D or Regulation S
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which may consist of Class S Units,
Class D Units, Class I Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class A-I Units, Class E-S Units, Class
E-D Units, Class E-I Units and/or any other Units described in the Memorandum (as defined below). For
the avoidance of doubt, any reference to Class S Units, Class D Units, Class I Units, Class A-S Units,
Class A-D Units, Class A-I Units, Class E-S Units, Class E-D Units and/or Class E-I Units shall include
each of the Fund’s Class S Units, Class D Units, Class I Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class

Units, Class E-DTE Units and/or Class E-ITE Units, unless otherwise indicated herein. The differences
between the classes of Units and the eligibility requirements for each class of Units are described in detail
in the Memorandum. The Units are to be offered and sold as described in the Memorandum.
Under the terms of the Offering, as set forth in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum
of the Partnership (including any supplements and amendments thereto, all financial statements,
appendices, and all other documents which are a part thereof) (the “Memorandum”), the Units will be
offered and sold at the offering prices per Unit set forth in the Memorandum. In connection with the
Offering, the minimum initial subscription amount by any one person shall be as set forth in the
Memorandum (except as otherwise accepted by the Dealer Manager pursuant to its discretion to accept
lesser amounts).
By your acceptance of this Agreement, you will become one of the Dealers referred to in the
Dealer Manager Agreement between the Partnership and the Dealer Manager and will be entitled and
subject to the indemnification provisions contained in the Dealer Manager Agreement, including the
provisions of Section 5 of the Dealer Manager Agreement wherein the Dealers severally agree to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Partnership, the Dealer Manager, each of their officers,
directors, employees and each person, if any, who controls the Partnership or the Dealer Manager within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act. The Dealer hereby agrees to use its best efforts to sell the
Units for cash on the terms and conditions stated in the Memorandum. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed or construed to make the Dealer an employee, agent, representative or partner of the Dealer
Manager, the Partnership or any of their respective affiliates, and the Dealer is not authorized to act for
the Dealer Manager, the Partnership or any of their respective affiliates, or to make any representations on
1
their behalf except as set forth in the Memorandum and in the Authorized Sales Materials (as defined
below).
The Dealer acknowledges and agrees that none of the Dealer Manager, the Partnership or any of
their respective affiliates are: (a) providing any advice or recommendations to any persons who purchase
and/or hold Units through Dealer pursuant to this Agreement (“Investor”); (b) providing any custody
services to any person, including any customers or clients of Dealer; and/or (c) acting as broker of record
for any Investor.
2.Submission of Orders
(a)Each person desiring to purchase Units in the Offering will be required to complete and
execute a subscription agreement for an investment in Units (“Subscription Agreement”) and to deliver to
the Dealer such completed and executed Subscription Agreement together with a check or wire transfer,
as applicable (“Instruments of Payment”), in the amount of such person’s purchase, which must be at least
the minimum purchase amount set forth in the Memorandum.
(b)Customers who purchase Units will be instructed by Dealer to make their Instruments of
Payment payable to or for the benefit of “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Private Equity Partners Fund, L.P.” or “CPEP Feeder,
L.P.”, as applicable.
(c)Subscription Agreements received during each month by 4 p.m. ET at least five (5)
business days prior to the first calendar day of the next month will be transmitted to the Partnership or its
agent as set forth in the Subscription Agreement or as otherwise directed by the Partnership at least five
(5) business days prior to the first calendar day of the next month, and Dealer shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to deliver Instruments of Payment with respect to such transmitted Subscription
Agreements at least two (2) business days prior to the first calendar day of the next month, but no later
than one (1) business day prior to the first calendar day of the next month, as set forth in the Subscription
Agreement or as otherwise directed by the Partnership. Subscription Agreements received from
Customers during the five (5) business day period prior to the first calendar day of a month will be
transmitted by 4 p.m. ET at least five (5) business days prior to the first calendar day of the month after
the next month (the “Following Month”), and Dealer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver
Instruments of Payment with respect to such transmitted Subscription Agreements at least two (2)
business days prior to the first calendar day of the Following Month, but no later than one (1) business
day prior to the first calendar day of the Following Month. Purchase orders which include (i) Instruments
of Payment received by the Partnership at least two (2) business days prior to the first calendar day of the
month and (ii) a completed and executed Subscription Agreement in good order received by the
Partnership or its transfer agent by 4 p.m. ET at least five (5) business days prior to the first calendar day
of the month (unless waived by the Dealer Manager) will be executed as of the first day of such month at
a purchase price equal to the Partnership’s net asset value (“NAV”) per Unit as of the last calendar day of
the immediately preceding month applicable to the class of Units being purchased (as calculated in
accordance with the procedures described in the Memorandum).
(d)Any redemption requests must be made in accordance with the applicable procedures
described in the Memorandum, the Partnership’s Redemption Program (as defined in the Memorandum),
the Subscription Agreement, and applicable law, rules and regulations. The parties acknowledge and
agree that a redemption request is not received in “good order” unless the redemption request and all
required documentation is complete and received by the Partnership’s transfer agent by the applicable
2
redemption request deadline described in the Memorandum, the Subscription Agreement or otherwise
specified by the Partnership in writing.
(e)If the Dealer receives a Subscription Agreement or Instrument of Payment not
conforming to the foregoing instructions, the Dealer shall return such Subscription Agreement and
Instrument of Payment directly to such Customer not later than the end of the next business day following
its receipt. Subscription Agreements and Instruments of Payment received by the Dealer which conform
to the foregoing instructions shall be transmitted for deposit pursuant to one of the methods described in
this Section 2. Transmittal of received Customer funds will be made in accordance with the procedures
set forth in Section 2(c).
(f)Subscription funds may be transmitted to the Partnership net of any upfront selling
commissions, placement fees, subscription fees or similar fees (“Subscription Fees”) subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in Schedule I attached hereto.
3.Pricing
Except as otherwise provided in the Memorandum, which may be amended or supplemented from
time to time, the offering price of Units shall be equal to the Partnership’s NAV per Unit for such Class as
of the last calendar day of the immediately preceding month (as calculated in accordance with the
procedures described in the Memorandum). Except as otherwise provided in the Memorandum, for
unitholders who participate in the Partnership’s distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”), the cash
distributions attributable to the class of Units that each unitholder owns will be automatically re-invested
in additional Units of the same class. Any Units issued pursuant to the DRIP (the “DRIP Units”) will be
issued and sold to unitholders of the Partnership at a purchase price equal to the most recent available
NAV per Unit for such Units at the time the distribution is payable and will be subject to the payment of
unitholder servicing fees on such DRIP Units, as applicable to the relevant class of Units. Except as
otherwise indicated in the Memorandum or in any letter or memorandum sent to the Dealer by the
Partnership or the Dealer Manager, a minimum initial subscription amount by each unitholder in the
Partnership of $10,000 and $1,000 for subsequent subscriptions is required unless such minimums are
waived by the Dealer Manager. The Units are nonassessable.
▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇ Compensation
Except as may be provided in the Memorandum, which may be amended or supplemented from
time to time, as compensation for completed sales and ongoing unitholder services rendered by Dealer
hereunder, Dealer is entitled, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein, to the compensation set
forth on Schedule I hereto.

Promoter under this Agreement, that is an “endorsement” or “testimonial” (as defined in Rule 206(4)-1
under the Advisers Act (the “Marketing Rule”), of or relating to the Fund, the Feeder, Carlyle Investment
Management L.L.C. (the “Investment Advisor”) or any of its officers or employees (any such statement, a

requirements applicable to “advertisements” under the Marketing Rule (as such term is defined in the
Marketing Rule), (B) does not include any untrue statement of material fact, and (C) is not materially
misleading, which shall exclude documents and statements prepared by Dealer Manager, Investment
Advisor (or its affiliates), including the Memorandum, that Dealer Manager and Investment Advisor have
authorized Dealer to disseminate to prospective Investors (or their representatives or agents) but
excluding any information or statement in any of the foregoing that was prepared, added or substantially
modified by the Dealer or an affiliate thereof), satisfy clauses (A) through (C) in this sentence. “Affiliated

5
(xiv)It covenants that, at all times during which the Dealer or any Affiliated Promoter
gives or disseminates Promotional Statements, the Dealer shall maintain, and shall cause such Affiliated

Statements on their behalf from giving or disseminating statements that violate anti-fraud provisions
under applicable securities laws and FINRA Rule 2210 and (B) apply to communications by the Dealer
and such Affiliated Promoter (as applicable) to prospective Investors that are subject to such anti-fraud
provisions and FINRA Rule 2210.
(xv)It covenants that it shall ensure, and shall cause any Affiliated Promoter to
ensure, that at the time any Promotional Statement is disseminated to a prospective Investor (or its
representative or agent, in their capacities as such), unless such Promotional Statement constitutes a
recommendation subject to Rule 15l-1 under the Exchange Act (“Regulation Best Interest”), the Dealer or
any Affiliated Promoter (as applicable) or any representative or agent acting on their behalf will
disseminate to such prospective Investor (or its representative or agent, as applicable) disclosure that
discloses: (A) that the Promotional Statement was given by a current client or investor of the Investment
Advisor, or that the Promotional Statement was given by a person other than a current client or investor of
the Investment Advisor, as applicable, (B) that cash or non-cash compensation was provided for the
Promotional Statement and (C) a brief statement of any material conflicts of interest on the part of the
person giving the Promotional Statement resulting from the Investment Advisor’s relationship with such
person. Any such disclosure must be made clearly and prominently, it being understood that in order for
such disclosure to be made “clearly and prominently” for this purpose, the disclosure must be at least as
prominent as the relevant Promotional Statement and must be included within such Promotional
Statement itself or, in a case where the relevant Promotional Statement is made orally, provided at the
same time as the Promotional Statement.
(xvi)It shall promptly respond to and comply with any request made by the
Investment Advisor or Dealer Manager for information or documentation that would reasonably facilitate
the Investment Advisor’s compliance with its obligations under the Marketing Rule and under related
recordkeeping provisions of Rule 204-2 under the Advisers Act.
(xvii)Except for Waived Disqualifying Events (as defined herein) disclosed in
Schedule V, no Dealer Covered Person (as defined herein) is subject to an event described in Rule
506(d)(1)(i)-(viii) (“Rule 506(d)(1)”) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act
(“Disqualifying Events”) that would result in disqualification under Rule 506(d)(1) of the Partnership’s
use of the Rule 506 exemption under the Securities Act for the sale of Units therein. For purposes of this

For so long as the Dealer is participating in the Offering, upon the Dealer Manager’s request pursuant to
this Agreement, the Dealer shall provide the Dealer Manager written confirmation that the representations
in this Section 5(a)(xvii) are true and correct by delivering a certificate in the form attached hereto as

the representations contained in Schedule IV shall no longer be entirely true, accurate and complete in
any respect or (y) a Dealer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualifying Event or receives any waivers

506(d)(2)(iii).
(xviii)For purposes of this Agreement, “Waived Disqualifying Event” means a
Disqualifying Event that would have triggered disqualification under Rule 506(d)(1) except that such
Disqualifying Event has been waived by a waiver, order, judgment or decree granted under Rule
506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) (“Rule 506(d)(2)(ii)-(iii)”) of Regulation D and the Dealer and all Dealer Covered
Persons (to the extent applicable) have complied with and are complying with the terms and conditions of
any applicable waiver, order judgment or decree and such waiver, order, judgment or decree has not been
revoked or further conditioned. The Dealer shall provide the Dealer Manager with a copy of the
applicable waiver, order, judgment or decree granted under Rule 506(d)(2)(ii)-(iii) with respect to a
Waived Disqualifying Event. To the extent that a condition of a waiver, order, judgment or decree
applicable to a Waived Disqualifying Event requires disclosure to prospective Investors in the
Partnership, the Dealer agrees that the description on Schedule V hereto of the Waived Disqualifying
Event complies with the requirements of the applicable waiver, order, judgment or decree granted under
Rule 506(d)(2)(ii)-(iii) and the Dealer authorizes the disclosure of any descriptions on Schedule V to
current and prospective Investors of the Partnership.
(xix)It shall promptly notify the Partnership and the Investment Advisor if it becomes
aware of any future Disqualifying Event with respect to the Dealer or any Dealer Covered Person.
(xx)It shall promptly notify the Partnership and the Investment Advisor if it becomes
aware of any future event that would give rise to a statutory disqualification, as defined under Section
3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act.
(xxi)Any Subscription Fees charged by Dealer in connection with its sale of Units will
be charged in a manner consistent with the Memorandum, applicable law and FINRA rules.
(xxii)Unless prohibited under applicable law, it shall advise the Dealer Manager
promptly of (a) the receipt by the Dealer of any communication specifically with respect to the offering of
Units from the SEC, any state securities commissioner or any other regulatory authority in any other
jurisdiction and (b) the threat or commencement of any lawsuit, proceeding or investigation to which the
Dealer is a party specifically with respect to the offering of Units.
(xxiii)Notwithstanding any instruction to the contrary, Dealer shall comply with all
applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, and none of the Dealer Manager, the Partnership
or the Investment Advisor shall be liable to any party or any Investor for any funds from the account(s) of
any such Investor’s Units pursuant to this Agreement or any applicable abandoned property, escheat or
similar law.
(xxiv)Upon the Dealer Manager’s request, it shall provide the Dealer Manager, (A) a
certificate with such customary representations as the Partnership or its counsel may reasonably request,
so as to warrant that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s activities hereunder were carried out in compliance with applicable laws
and the terms of this Agreement and (B) such further information and documents as are reasonably
necessary or appropriate for the Partnership and/or its counsel to determine that the representations and
warranties made in this Agreement continue to be true and correct. In addition, Dealer shall promptly
inform the Dealer Manager in writing if any of the representations contained in the certificate shall no
longer be entirely true, accurate and complete in any respect.
7
(xxv)Throughout the term of this Agreement, the representations and warranties of
Dealer in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects. For as long as this Agreement
is in effect, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to promptly notify the Dealer Manager and the Investment Advisor in the event
that any of the representations and warranties set forth herein becomes materially inaccurate, or in the
event that any covenant or condition on the Dealer’s part to be performed or satisfied has been breached
or not satisfied in any material respect.
6.Right to Reject Orders or Cancel Sales
(a)All orders, whether initial or additional, are subject to acceptance by and shall only
become effective upon confirmation by the Partnership, which reserves the right to reject any order for
any reason or no reason including, without limitation, orders not accompanied by an executed
Subscription Agreement in good order or without the required Instrument of Payment in full payment for
the Units. Issuance and delivery of the Units will be made only after actual receipt of payment therefor. If
any check or wire is not paid upon presentment, or if the Partnership is not in actual receipt of
clearinghouse funds or cash, certified or cashier's check or the equivalent in payment for the Units, the
Partnership reserves the right to cancel the sale without notice.
(b)If the Dealer has retained selling commissions in connection with an order that is
subsequently rejected, canceled or rescinded for any reason, the Dealer agrees to return to the Customer
any selling commission theretofore retained by the Dealer with respect to such order within three (3) days
following mailing of notice to the Dealer by the Dealer Manager stating the amount owed as a result of
rescinded or rejected subscriptions. If the Dealer fails to pay any such amounts, the Dealer Manager shall
have the right to offset such amounts owed against future compensation due and otherwise payable to the
Dealer (it being understood and agreed that such right to offset shall not be in limitation of any other
rights or remedies that the Dealer Manager may have in connection with such failure).
7.Memorandum and Authorized Sales Materials; Compliance with Laws
(a)The Dealer, including any of its principals, directors, officers and employees, is not
authorized or permitted to give and will not give, any information or make any representation (written or
oral) concerning the Units, the Partnership, the Dealer Manager, the Investment Advisor and/or CPEP
General Partner, L.P. (the “General Partner” and, together with the Dealer Manager, the Partnership and
the Investment Advisor, collectively, the “CPEP Parties” and each a “CPEP Party”), except as set forth in
the Memorandum and any additional sales literature, which has been approved in advance in writing by
the Dealer Manager (collectively, “Authorized Sales Materials”). The Dealer Manager will supply Dealer
with reasonable quantities of the Memorandum, any supplements thereto and any amended Memorandum,
as well as any Authorized Sales Materials (the Memorandum and the Authorized Sales Materials, as the
same may be amended or supplemented, are referred to herein collectively as the “Offering Materials”),
for delivery to current and prospective Investors.
(b)The Dealer agrees that it shall have delivered to each prospective Investor to whom an
offer to purchase the Units is made, as of the time of such offer, a copy of the Memorandum that has then
been supplied to the Dealer by the Dealer Manager. The Dealer agrees that it will not send or give any
supplement to the Memorandum or any Authorized Sales Materials to an investor unless it has previously
sent or given a Memorandum (for the avoidance of doubt, inclusive of all previous supplements thereto
and any amended Memorandum) to that investor or has simultaneously sent or given a Memorandum (for
the avoidance of doubt, inclusive of all previous supplements thereto and any amended Memorandum)
with such supplement to the Memorandum or Authorized Sales Materials. The Dealer agrees that it will
8
not show or give to any Investor or prospective Investor, or reproduce, any material or writing which is
supplied to it by the Dealer Manager and marked “broker only”, “dealer only”, or otherwise bearing a
legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Units to end Investors. The Dealer
agrees that it will not show or give to any current or prospective Investor in a particular jurisdiction any
material or writing that is supplied to it by the Dealer Manager if such material bears a legend denoting
that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Units to end Investors in such jurisdiction. The
▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that it will not use in connection with the offer or sale of Units any material or writing
which relates to another issuer supplied to it by the Partnership or the Dealer Manager bearing a legend
which states that such material may not be used in connection with the offer or sale of any securities other
than the issuer to which it relates. The Dealer will not use in connection with the offer or sale of Units any
materials or writings which have not been previously approved by the Dealer Manager, the Investment
Advisor or the Partnership in writing.
(c)The Dealer agrees to deliver to each Investor making purchases of Units, prior to the time
of sale, a copy of the Partnership’s then current Memorandum and Subscription Agreement, and may
deliver offering materials subject to the terms herein, all as amended from time to time. The Dealer
further agrees, on an ongoing basis, to deliver to each Investor copies of all supplements and amendments
to the Memorandum that are delivered or made available to the Dealer by the Dealer Manager.
(d)With respect to each Investor who purchases Units, the Dealer confirms it: (i) reasonably
believes that the information and representations in the Subscription Agreement made by and concerning
the Investor identified in the Subscription Agreement are true, correct and complete in all material
respects; (ii) has offered the Investor the opportunity to discuss such Investor’s prospective purchase of
Units; (iii) has delivered or made available a current Memorandum and related supplements, if any, to
such Investor; (iv) has reasonable grounds to believe that the Investor is purchasing the Units for the
Investor’s own account; and (v) has a reasonable basis to believe that the purchase of Units is an
appropriate investment for such Investor. The above representations shall be true and correct with respect
to each Investor as of each date that such Investor’s Subscription Agreement is provided to the Dealer
Manager.
(e)On becoming a Dealer, and in offering and selling Units, the Dealer agrees to comply
with all the applicable requirements imposed upon it under (i) the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated under both such acts, (ii) all applicable state securities
laws and regulations as from time to time in effect, (iii) any other state, federal, foreign and other laws
and regulations applicable to the Offering, the sale of Units or the activities of the Dealer pursuant to this
Agreement, including without limitation the privacy standards and requirements of state and federal laws,
including the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 1999, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6801 et seq., as may be amended from time
to time (“GLBA”), and the laws governing money laundering abatement and anti-terrorist financing
efforts, including the applicable rules of the SEC and FINRA, the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended, USA
PATRIOT Act of 2001, as amended (the “USA Patriot Act”), and regulations administered by the Office
of Foreign Asset Control at the Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”), and (iv) this Agreement and the
Memorandum as amended and supplemented. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the
payment of any amount to the Dealer, the Dealer agrees to pay the Dealer's proportionate share of any
claim, demand or liability asserted against the Dealer and the other Dealers on the basis that such Dealers
or any of them constitute an association, unincorporated business or other separate entity, including in
each case such Dealer's proportionate share of any expenses incurred in defending against any such claim,
demand or liability.
9
(f)The Dealer (i) will maintain written policies and procedures covering the delivery of
electronic offering documents and the use of electronic signatures, (ii) will comply with all applicable
SEC rules and guidelines pertaining to electronic delivery of the Memorandum and Authorized Sales
Materials and electronic signature of the Subscription Agreement, (iii) acknowledges that it is acting as an
agent of the Partnership only with respect to the delivery of the Memorandum and Authorized Sales
Materials electronically, the administration of the subscription process and the obtainment of electronic
signatures and only to the extent its actions are in compliance with the Dealer Manager Agreement and
this Agreement and (iv) will also comply, as applicable, with The Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act and the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act and any other applicable law. In
consideration of the foregoing, the Dealer Manager ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that it will not reject a subscription on
account of an electronic signature if such signature was obtained in the manner set forth in this Section 7.
8.License and Association Membership
The Dealer's acceptance of this Agreement constitutes a representation to the Partnership and the
Dealer Manager that the Dealer is a properly registered or licensed broker-dealer, duly authorized to sell
Units under federal and state securities laws and regulations, and foreign laws (including the laws of the
jurisdictions listed on Schedule III), if applicable, and in all states or jurisdictions where it offers or sells
Units, and a member in good standing of FINRA and that it has obtained all necessary approvals, licenses
and permits required for it to enter into this Agreement and engage in the offer and sale of securities of
the type represented by the Units and shall maintain such approvals, licenses and permits for so long as
this Agreement is in effect, and it further represents and warrants that it will notify the Dealer Manager
immediately at such time, if any, as it ceases to hold any such necessary approval, license or permit. This
Agreement shall automatically terminate if the Dealer ceases to be a member in good standing of FINRA.
The Dealer agrees to notify the Dealer Manager immediately if the Dealer ceases to be a member in good
standing of FINRA. The Dealer will abide by the Rules of FINRA, including FINRA Rules 2040, 2111
and 2121.
9.Limitation of Offer; Suitability
(a)The Dealer will offer Units (both at the time of an initial subscription and at the time of
any additional subscription, including initial enrollments and increased participations in the DRIP) only to
persons who meet the financial qualifications and suitability standards set forth in the Memorandum, this
Agreement or in any suitability letter or memorandum sent to it by the Partnership or the Dealer Manager
and will only make offers to persons in the jurisdictions in which it is advised in writing by the Dealer
Manager that the Units are qualified for sale under the respective securities laws of such jurisdiction or
that such qualification is not required and in which the Dealer has all required licenses and registrations to
offer Units in such jurisdictions (including the jurisdictions listed on Schedule III). In offering Units, the
Dealer will comply with the provisions of the Rules set forth in the FINRA Manual, Regulation Best
Interest, and all other applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors. Nothing
contained in this Section shall be construed to relieve the Dealer of its suitability obligations under
Regulation Best Interest or FINRA Rule 2111. The Dealer will sell Class S Units, Class D Units, Class I
Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class A-I Units, Class E-S Units, Class E-D Units and Class E-I
Units only to the extent approved by the Dealer Manager as set forth on Schedule I to this Agreement, and
to the extent approved to sell Class S Units, Class D Units, Class I Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D
Units, Class A-I Units, Class E-S Units, Class E-D Units and Class E-I Units pursuant to this Agreement,
sell such units only to those persons who are eligible to purchase Class S Units, Class D Units, Class I
Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class A-I Units, Class E-S Units, Class E-D Units and Class E-I
Units as described in the Memorandum. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to
10
impose upon any CPEP Party the responsibility of assuring that prospective Investors meet the suitability
standards in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Memorandum. The Dealer shall not
purchase any Units for a discretionary account without obtaining the prior written approval of the
Dealer’s Customer and such Customer’s completed and executed Subscription Agreement.
(b)The Dealer further represents, warrants and covenants that neither the Dealer, nor any
person associated with the Dealer, shall offer or sell Units in any jurisdiction except to investors who
satisfy the investor suitability standards and minimum investment requirements under the most restrictive
of the following: (i) applicable provisions described in the Memorandum; (ii) applicable laws of the
jurisdiction of which such investor is a resident; (iii) applicable provisions of Regulation Best Interest;
and (iv) applicable FINRA rules. The Dealer agrees to ensure that, in recommending the purchase, sale or
exchange of Units to an investor, the Dealer, or a person associated with the Dealer, shall have reasonable
grounds to believe, on the basis of information obtained from the investor (and thereafter maintained in
the manner and for the period required by the SEC, any state securities commission, FINRA or the
Partnership) concerning his or her age, investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and
needs and any other information known to the Dealer, or person associated with the Dealer, that the
investor (x) the investor can reasonably benefit from an investment in the Units based on the investor’s
overall investment objectives and portfolio structure, (y) is able to bear the economic risk of the
investment based on the investor’s overall financial situation and (z) has an apparent understanding of (A)
the fundamental risks of the investment, (B) the risk that the investor may lose his or her entire
investment in the Units, (C) the lack of liquidity of the Units, (D) the background and qualifications of the
Investment Advisor or the persons responsible for directing and managing the Partnership and (E) the tax
consequences of an investment in the Units. In the case of sales to fiduciary accounts, the suitability
standards must be met by the person who directly or indirectly supplied the funds for the purchase of the
Units or by the beneficiary of such fiduciary account. The Dealer further represents, warrants and
covenants that the Dealer, or a person associated with the Dealer, will make every reasonable effort to
determine the appropriateness of an investment in Units of each proposed investor, in accordance with the
foregoing standards, by reviewing documents and records which, in accordance with applicable law,
contain the basis upon which the determination as to the appropriateness of such investment was reached
as to each purchaser of Units pursuant to a subscription solicited by the Dealer.
(c)The Dealer will comply with the record-keeping requirements imposed by (i) federal
securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder and (ii) the applicable rules of FINRA, including
the requirement to maintain records (the “Suitability Records”) of the information used to determine that
an investment in Units is suitable and appropriate for each Investor for a period of six years from the date
of the sale of the Units. The Dealer will, upon request from a regulatory authority to the Dealer or as
required under applicable law, furnish such regulatory authority with copies of records of purchase and
sales of Units, including Suitability Records.
(d)The Units offered by the Dealer shall be offered only to Customers who are both
“accredited investors” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act and “qualified purchasers” as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the 1940 Act.
Neither the Dealer nor any person acting on its behalf, has (i) offered or sold or shall offer or sell the
Units by any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including, without limitation, the
methods described in Rule 502(c) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, or (ii) taken or
will take any action, directly or indirectly, so as to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
to fail to qualify for the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Dealer shall offer the
Units in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws, the securities laws of any state and the securities
laws of any other jurisdiction in which it markets or solicits purchasers for such Units. The Dealer shall
11
not knowingly take any action that would place any CPEP Party or any affiliate thereof in violation of any
U.S. federal or state law. The Dealer shall not refer to any CPEP Party or solicit any Customer through
the use of any general advertising, publicity, general solicitation, or other similar means.
(e)The Dealer will only make available the Authorized Sales Materials and the
Memorandum to qualified clients: (i) with whom it has a “pre-existing, substantive relationship” (as such
term is used in related guidance published by the staff of the SEC); and (ii) who meet the financial
qualifications, accreditation and suitability standards set forth in the Memorandum or as otherwise
required for compliance with applicable local law, regulation and/or accepted market practice (including,
for the avoidance of doubt, accreditation standards and/or minimum investment requirements). For the
avoidance of doubt, the Dealer will not engage in marketing, solicitations or any other conduct that elicits
obligations to limit the number of offerees and/or investors in accordance with applicable local law,
regulation and/or accepted market practice.
10.Disclosure Review; Confidentiality of Information
(a)The Dealer shall have reasonable grounds to believe, based on the information made
available to it through the Memorandum or other materials, that all material facts are adequately and
accurately disclosed in the Memorandum and provide a basis for evaluating the Units. In making this
determination, the Dealer shall evaluate, at a minimum, items of compensation, physical properties, tax
aspects, financial stability and experience of the General Partner and the Investment Advisor, conflicts of
interest and risk factors, and appraisals and other pertinent reports. If the Dealer relies upon the results of
any inquiry conducted by another member or members of FINRA, the Dealer shall have reasonable
grounds to believe that such inquiry was conducted with due care, that the member or members
conducting or directing the inquiry consented to the disclosure of the results of the inquiry and that the
person who participated in or conducted the inquiry is not the Dealer Manager, the General Partner or an
affiliate of the General Partner.
(b)It is anticipated that (i) the Dealer and its officers, directors, managers, employees,
owners, members, partners, home office diligence personnel or other agents of the Dealer that are
conducting a due diligence inquiry on behalf of the Dealer and (ii) persons or committees, as the case may
be, responsible for determining whether the Dealer will participate in the Offering ((i) and (ii) are
collectively, the “Diligence Representatives”) either have previously or will in the future have access to
certain Confidential Information (defined below) pertaining to the CPEP Parties or their respective
affiliates in connection with such Diligence Representatives’ diligence review. Such Diligence
Representatives are bound by the terms of this Section 10, and the Dealer will be responsible for any
breach by such persons of these confidentiality obligations. For purposes hereof, “Confidential
Information” shall mean and include: (A) trade secrets concerning the business and affairs of the CPEP
Parties or their respective affiliates; (B) confidential data, know-how, current and planned research and
development, current and planned methods and processes, marketing lists or strategies, slide
presentations, business plans, however documented, belonging to the CPEP Parties or their respective
affiliates; (C) information concerning the business and affairs of the CPEP Parties or their respective
affiliates (including, without limitation, historical financial statements, financial projections and budgets,
investment-related information, models, budgets, plans, and market studies, however documented); (D)
any information marked or designated “Confidential—For Due Diligence Purposes Only”; and (E) any
notes, analyses, compilations, studies, summaries or other material containing or based, in whole or in
part, on any information included in the foregoing. The Dealer shall keep, and cause its Diligence
Representatives to keep, all such Confidential Information strictly confidential and not use, distribute or
copy the same except in connection with the Dealer’s due diligence inquiry. The Dealer shall not disclose,
12
and will cause its Diligence Representatives not to disclose, such Confidential Information to the public,
or to the Dealer’s sales staff, financial advisors, or any person involved in selling efforts related to the
Offering or to any other third party and will not use the Confidential Information in any manner in the
offer and sale of the Units. The Dealer shall take all reasonable precautions necessary to preserve the
confidentiality of such Confidential Information, including, but not limited to (x) limiting access to such
information to persons who have a need to know such information only for the purpose of the Dealer’s
due diligence inquiry and (y) informing each recipient of such Confidential Information of the Dealer’s
confidentiality obligation. The Dealer acknowledges that it or its Diligence Representatives may
previously have received Confidential Information in connection with preliminary due diligence on the
Partnership, and agrees that the foregoing restrictions shall apply to any such previously received
Confidential Information. The Dealer acknowledges that it or its Diligence Representatives may in the
future receive Confidential Information, either in individual or collective meetings or telephone calls with
the Partnership, and agrees that the foregoing restrictions shall apply to any Confidential Information
received in the future through any source or medium. The Dealer acknowledges the restrictions and
limitations of Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC and agrees that the foregoing restrictions are
necessary and appropriate in order for the Partnership to comply therewith. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Confidential Information may be disclosed (1) if approved in writing for disclosure by the
Partnership or the Dealer Manager, (2) pursuant to a subpoena or as required by law, or (3) as required by
regulation, rule, order or request of any governing or self-regulatory organization (including the SEC or
FINRA), provided, that the Dealer shall notify the Dealer Manager in advance if practicable under the
circumstances of any attempt to obtain Confidential Information pursuant to provisions (2) and (3) of this
sentence.

(a)The Dealer hereby represents that it has complied and will comply with Section 326 of
the USA Patriot Act, and the implementing rules and regulations promulgated thereunder in connection
with broker/dealers' anti-money laundering obligations (the “AML Rules and Regulations”). The Dealer
hereby represents that it has adopted and implemented, and will maintain a written anti-money laundering
compliance program (“AML Program”) including, without limitation, anti-money laundering policies and
procedures relating to customer identification in compliance with applicable laws and regulations,
including federal and state securities laws, applicable rules of FINRA, and the USA Patriot Act and the
implementing rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Dealer further represents that its AML
Program, at a minimum, (1) designates a compliance officer to administer and oversee the AML Program,
(2) provides ongoing employee training, (3) includes an independent audit function to test the
effectiveness of the AML Program, (4) establishes internal policies, procedures, and controls that are
consistent with Dealer’s obligations under this Agreement, (5) includes a customer identification program
consistent with the rules under section 326 of the USA Patriot Act, (6) provides for the filing of all
necessary anti-money laundering reports including, but not limited to, currency transaction reports and
suspicious activity reports, (7) provides for compliance with applicable economic sanctions issued by the
U.S., including without limitation those administered and enforced by OFAC, the U.K., including without
limitation those administered and enforced by Her Majesty’s Treasury, the E.U., E.U. member states and
the U.N. (collectively, “Economic Sanctions”), including, without limitation, screening all new and
existing Customers and Customer’s beneficial owners, if any, against the list of specially designated
nationals and blocked persons, and any other government list that is or becomes required under the
Economic Sanctions, and (8) prescribes that appropriate regulators be permitted to examine the Dealer’s
AML books and records and that the Dealer will promptly fulfill appropriate requests by such regulators
for information about dealer’s AML Program. Customer identification information will be retained for a
period of not less than five years, following the termination of the customer’s relationship with the
13
Dealer. The Dealer further has policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with the Financial
Crimes Enforcement Network’s Customer Due Diligence Rule, including identifying and verifying the
identity of beneficial owners of legal entity customers, and the Dealer will submit to the Financial Crimes
Enforcement Network any required suspicious activity reports about such activity and further will
disclose such activity to applicable federal and state law enforcement when required by law. The Dealer
has implemented policies, procedures and internal controls reasonably designed to identify higher risk
clients, and to perform enhanced due diligence on such clients, including politically exposed persons. In
accordance with such implemented policies, procedures and internal controls, applicable laws and
regulations and its AML Program, the Dealer shall monitor account activity to identify patterns of unusual
size or volume, geographic factors and any other “red flags” described in the USA Patriot Act as potential
signals of money laundering or terrorist financing.
(b)Upon request by the Dealer Manager at any time, the Dealer shall promptly furnish (i) a
copy of its AML Program to the Dealer Manager for review, (ii) a copy of the findings and any remedial
actions taken in connection with the Dealer’s most recent independent testing of its AML Program and
(iii) a written certification that the Dealer has implemented its AML Program and performed all other
obligations of the Dealer pursuant to the terms of this Section 11. The Dealer agrees to notify the Dealer
Manager immediately if the Dealer is subject to a FINRA disclosure event or fine from FINRA related to
its AML Program.
(c)The Dealer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it (and not any CPEP Party or the
Partnership’s transfer agent or other service provider) is responsible for reviewing and monitoring
Customers and complying with AML Rules and Regulations, including customer identification program
requirements, with respect to Customers in connection with this Agreement.
(d)The Dealer does not know or have any reason to suspect that any of the beneficial
owners, controllers, authorized persons, or other entities associated with any Customer investing in the
Partnership (including any beneficial owner(s) thereof): (i) appears on OFAC’s Specially Designated
Nationals and Blocked Persons List; (ii) is named on any list of sanctioned entities or individuals pursuant
to E.U. and/or U.K. regulations (as the latter are extended by statutory instrument to the Cayman Islands
by Statutory Instrument); (iii) is operationally based or domiciled in a country or territory in relation to
which sanctions imposed by the United Nations, OFAC, the E.U., the U.S. and/or the U.K. apply; or (iv)
is otherwise subject to sanctions imposed by, or is a party with which the Partnership is prohibited to deal
with under the laws of, the United Nations, OFAC, the E.U. or the U.K., which may be amended from
time to time (collectively, a “Sanctions Subject”).
(e)The Dealer does not know or have any reason to suspect that the monies used to fund any
Customer’s investment in the Partnership is derived, directly or indirectly, from, invested for the benefit
of, or related in any way to: (i) any criminal, terrorist or other illegal activities, including but not limited
to, money laundering activities, whether under U.S. law or otherwise; and/or (ii) a Sanctions Subject (or
are made on behalf of, or are controlled by, such persons).
(f)The Dealer covenants that, should any Customer and/or beneficial owner(s) thereof
become at any time during their investment in the Partnership a Sanctions Subject, the Dealer shall
immediately notify the General Partner of such, which shall include the identity of such Sanctions
Subject. The Dealer agrees to promptly provide the Partnership, the Dealer Manager, the General Partner
or their respective delegate(s) with such additional information as may be requested by the Partnership,
the General Partner, the Dealer Manager or its delegate to enable the Partnership to satisfy its
responsibilities under applicable law. The Dealer agrees and acknowledges that, among other remedial
14
measures, (i) the Partnership may be obligated to “freeze the account” with respect to the portion of an
investment by any Customer, either by restricting participation by the Customer and/or segregating the
assets of the Customer in order to comply with governmental regulations and/or if the Dealer Manager
determines in its good faith that such action is in the best interests of the Customer; and (ii) the
Partnership may be required to report such action or confidential information relating to the Customer
(including, without limitation, disclosing the Customer’s identity) to regulatory authorities.
(g)The Dealer shall notify the Partnership promptly in writing should the Dealer become
aware of any material change in the information set forth in this Section 11.

(a)The Dealer will abide by and comply in all respects with (i) the privacy standards and
requirements of the GLBA and applicable regulations promulgated thereunder, (ii) the privacy standards
and requirements of any other applicable federal or state law, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act
(“FCRA”) and (iii) its own internal privacy policies and procedures, each as may be amended from time
to time.
(b)The parties hereto acknowledge that from time to time, the Dealer may share with the
Partnership and the Partnership may share with Dealer nonpublic personal information (as defined under
the GLBA) of customers of the Dealer. This nonpublic personal information may include, but is not
limited to a customer’s name, address, telephone number, social security number, account information
and personal financial information. The Dealer shall only be granted access to such nonpublic personal
information of each of its customers that pertains to the period or periods during which Dealer served as
the broker-dealer of record for such customer’s account. None of the Dealer or the CPEP Parties will
disclose nonpublic personal information of any customers who have opted out of such disclosures, except
(i) to service providers (when necessary and as permitted under the GLBA), (ii) to carry out the purposes
for which one party discloses such nonpublic personal information to another party under this Agreement
(when necessary and as permitted under the GLBA) or (iii) as otherwise required by applicable law. Any
nonpublic personal information that one party receives from another party shall be subject to the
limitations on usage described in this Section 12. Except as expressly permitted under the FCRA, the
Dealer agrees that it shall not disclose any information that would be considered a “consumer report”
under the FCRA.
(c)The Dealer shall be responsible for determining which customers have opted out of the
disclosure of nonpublic personal information by periodically reviewing and, if necessary, retrieving a list
of such customers (the “List”) to identify customers that have exercised their opt-out rights. In the event
the Dealer or any CPEP Party expects to use or disclose nonpublic personal information of any customer
for purposes other than as set forth in this Section 12, it must first consult the List to determine whether
the affected customer has exercised his or her opt-out rights. The use or disclosure of any nonpublic
personal information of any customer that is identified on the List as having opted out of such disclosures,
except as set forth in this Section 12, shall be prohibited.
(d)The Dealer shall implement commercially reasonable measures in compliance with
industry best practices designed (i) to assure the security and confidentiality of nonpublic personal
information of all customers; (ii) to protect such information against any anticipated threats or hazards to
the security or integrity of such information; (iii) to protect against unauthorized access to, or use of, such
information that could result in material harm to any customer; (iv) to protect against unauthorized
disclosure of such information to unaffiliated third parties; and (v) to otherwise ensure its compliance
15
with all applicable privacy standards and requirements of federal or state law (including, but not limited
to, the GLBA), and any other applicable legal or regulatory requirements. The Dealer will cause all its
agents, representatives, affiliates, subcontractors, or any other party to whom the Dealer provides access
or discloses nonpublic personal information of customers, to implement appropriate measures designed to
meet the objectives set forth in this Section 12.
13.Sub-Agents
(a)The Dealer shall not engage or retain, or assign or delegate its rights or obligations
hereunder to, any affiliated or unaffiliated sub-agent to assist the Dealer the offer, sale, marketing or
promotion of Units without the prior written approval of the Dealer Manager (“Sub-Agents”).
(b)The Dealer undertakes to cause each approved Sub-Agent to enter into an agreement with
the Dealer, which agreement shall include all of the undertakings, agreements, representations, warranties
and covenants made by the Dealer to the CPEP Parties hereunder mutatis mutandis. Such agreement shall
also prohibit further delegation unless the prior written consent of the Dealer Manager is given. The
Dealer shall review the services provided by each of its Sub-Agents (if any) on an ongoing basis and
make each Sub-Agent (if any) aware of the requirement to review the services provided by each Sub-
Agent’s delegate (if any) on an ongoing basis.
(c)Upon the request of the Dealer Manager, the Dealer shall provide the Dealer Manager
with a copy of any such Sub-Agent agreement and/or a certificate from the Dealer to the effect that the
Dealer is in compliance with Section 13(b) with respect to such Sub-Agent. The Dealer undertakes to
terminate with immediate effect the appointment of any Sub-Agent upon the instruction of the Dealer
Manager. The Dealer shall remain liable for any act (or failure to act) of any of its Sub-Agents that would
be a breach of the terms of this Agreement had it been committed or taken by the Dealer.
(d)The Dealer hereby covenants, represents and warrants to the Dealer Manager that no
portion of the fees received by the Dealer in connection with its services hereunder shall be remitted or
otherwise paid to any third party (including any finder or lobbyist) by the Dealer, other than a Sub-Agent
as provided in the sentence above, without the prior written consent of the Dealer Manager, which may be
given or withheld in the Dealer Manager’s sole discretion.
▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Undertaking to Not Facilitate a Secondary Market in the Units
The Dealer acknowledges that there is no public trading market for the Units and that there are
limits on the ownership, transferability and redemption of the Units, which significantly limit the liquidity
of an investment in the Units. The Dealer also acknowledges that the Redemption Program provides only
a limited opportunity for Investors to have their Units purchased by the Partnership and that the General
Partner may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the Redemption Program at any time in
accordance with the terms of the Redemption Program. The Dealer hereby agrees that so long as the
Partnership is offering Units under Regulation D under the Securities Act, the Dealer will not facilitate
any transfers except in compliance with applicable law or engage in any action or transaction that would
facilitate or otherwise create the appearance of a secondary market in the Units without the prior written
approval of the Dealer Manager.

15.Arbitration
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising between the parties relating to this Agreement (whether
such dispute arises under any federal, state or local statute or regulation, or at common law), shall be
resolved by final and binding arbitration administered in accordance with the then current commercial
arbitration rules of FINRA in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including the governing law
provisions of this Agreement and pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1 – 16). The
parties will request that the arbitrator or arbitration panel (“Arbitrator”) issue written findings of fact and
conclusions of law. The Arbitrator shall not be empowered to make any award or render any judgment
for punitive damages, and the Arbitrator shall be required to follow applicable law in construing this
Agreement, making awards, and rendering judgments. The decision of the arbitration panel shall be final
and binding, and judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction.
All arbitration hearings will be held at the New York City FINRA District Office or at another mutually
agreed upon site. The parties may agree on a single arbitrator, or, if the parties cannot so agree, each
party will have the right to choose one arbitrator, and the selected arbitrators will choose a third arbitrator.
Each arbitrator must have experience and education that qualify him or her to competently address the
specific issues to be designated for arbitration. Notwithstanding the preceding, no party will be prevented
from immediately seeking provisional remedies in courts of competent jurisdiction, including but not
limited to, temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, but such remedies will not be sought
as a means to avoid or stay arbitration.
16.Termination
(a)This Agreement will be effective as of its date of acceptance by the Dealer Manager and
will remain in full force and effect for so long as this Agreement is not terminated by either party hereto
pursuant to the terms hereof.
(b)This Agreement and the parties’ obligations hereunder may be terminated by either the
Dealer Manager or the Dealer for any reason or no reason upon giving thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice thereof to the other party; provided, however, that in the event either party hereto does not perform
any obligation or materially breaches any covenant under this Agreement and does not perform such
obligation or cure such breach (only to the extent such breach is curable) within five (5) business days
from receipt of notice of such breach from the other party, or any representation and warranty hereunder
on the part of a party hereto is incomplete or inaccurate in any respect (such event is referred to herein as
a “Breach” and such party is referred to as the “Breaching Party”), this Agreement and the other party’s
obligations hereunder may be immediately terminated by such other party by written notice thereof to the
Breaching Party.
(c)Upon becoming aware of a Disqualifying Event with respect to a Dealer Covered Person
(unless a waiver has been obtained and/or the relevant Dealer Covered Person has been timely terminated
or no longer performs a role with respect to Dealer that would cause such person to be a Dealer Covered
Person for purposes of Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act), the Dealer Manager may, in its sole discretion,
terminate this Agreement (such termination, a “Disqualifying Event Termination”), which Disqualifying
Event Termination shall be effective as of the date of the occurrence of the Disqualifying Event.
Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the obligations of the parties pursuant to the
indemnity, confidentiality and choice of law and jurisdiction provisions of this Agreement shall survive
any termination hereof and remain operative and in full force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, in
the event of a Disqualifying Event Termination, the CPEP Parties shall cease to be obligated to pay the
Dealer any fees in connection with any subscriptions made on or after the occurrence of such
17
Disqualifying Event.
(d)This Agreement will terminate automatically if the Dealer Manager or the Dealer ceases
to be a member of FINRA in good standing or is subject to a FINRA suspension or if the Dealer
Manager’s or the Dealer’s registration or license under the Exchange Act or any state securities laws or
regulations is terminated or suspended. Each of the Dealer Manager and the Dealer shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement immediately if the other party is subject to an investigation under the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or any similar law of any relevant jurisdiction, or the rules
and regulations thereunder. Each party agrees to notify the other party immediately if any of these events,
as applicable, occurs.
(e)The Dealer will immediately suspend or terminate its offer and sale of Units upon the
request of the Partnership or the Dealer Manager at any time and may resume its offer and sale of Units
hereunder upon subsequent request of the Partnership or the Dealer Manager.
(f)The respective agreements and obligations of the Dealer Manager and the Dealer set forth
in Sections 4, 6, 7, and 14 through 22 of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of the termination of this Agreement.
17.Use of Partnership and Carlyle Names
The Dealer will not, without the written consent of the Dealer Manager in each instance: (a) use
in advertising, publicity or otherwise the name of any CPEP Party, “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”, any affiliate of any CPEP
Party, or any director, officer or employee of any CPEP Party, or any trade name, trademark, trade device,

affiliates thereof; or (b) represent, directly or indirectly, that any product or any service provided by the
Dealer has been approved or endorsed by any CPEP Party or affiliates thereof. Further, the Dealer
Manager reserves the right to withdraw its consent to the use of any CPEP Party’s or any affiliate of any
CPEP Party’s name at any time and to request to review any materials generated by the Dealer that use
any CPEP Party’s or any affiliate of any CPEP Party’s name or mark. Any such consent is expressly
subject to the continuation of this Agreement and shall terminate with the termination of this Agreement
as provided herein.

Dealer may charge upfront selling commissions, placement fees, subscription fees or similar fees
(“Subscription Fee”), on purchases and sales of Units on such Dealer’s brokerage platform, as set forth in
“Unit Class Election” below, to the extent the Memorandum discloses that such Subscription Fee may be
charged for the relevant class of Units. Any Subscription Fee charged by Dealer in connection with its
sale of Units will be charged in a manner consistent with the Memorandum and applicable law and
FINRA rules. Purchases and sales of such Units may only be executed as purchases or redemptions
between the Customer and the Partnership. Dealer shall not execute trades of Units between Customers.
For the avoidance of doubt, subscription funds may be transmitted to the Partnership net of any
Subscription Fees.
Terms and Conditions of the Servicing Fees.
The payment of the unitholder servicing fee (“Servicing Fees”) to Dealer is subject to terms and
conditions set forth herein and the Memorandum as may be amended or supplemented from time to time.
If Dealer elects to sell Class S Units, Class D Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class E-S Units
and/or Class E-D Units, eligibility to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to the Class S Units, Class D
Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class E-S Units and/or Class E-D Units, as applicable, sold by
the Dealer is conditioned upon Dealer acting as broker-dealer of record with respect to such Units and
complying with the requirements set forth below, including providing unitholder and account
maintenance services with respect to such Units.
(i)the existence of an effective Selected Dealer Agreement or ongoing Servicing Agreement
(as defined below) between the Dealer Manager and Dealer, and
(ii)the provision of the following services with respect to the Class S Units, Class D Units,
Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class E-S Units and/or Class E-D Units, as applicable, by the Dealer:
1.assistance with recordkeeping, in accordance with Dealer’s then existing requirements,
including maintaining records for and on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Customers reflecting
transactions and balances of Units owned,
2.answering investor inquiries regarding the Partnership, including distribution payments
and reinvestments,
3.helping investors understand their investments upon their request, and
4.redemption offers. For the avoidance of doubt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Customers shall submit
redemption offers directly to the Partnership or its agent.
For the avoidance of doubt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is not to be considered the official books and records keeper
of the Partnership. In connection with this provision, the Dealer agrees to reasonably cooperate to
provide certification to the Partnership, the Dealer Manager, and its agents (including its auditors)
confirming the provision of services to each particular class of unitholders upon reasonable request.
Dealer hereby represents by its acceptance of each payment of the Servicing Fee that it complies
with each of the above requirements and is providing the above-described services.
In the event of termination of the Agreement, the Dealer Manager and Dealer shall promptly enter
into a Servicing Agreement on reasonable and customary terms mutually agreed upon by Dealer and the
Dealer Manager to provide for the continuation of these services by Dealer and the continuation of the
payment by the Dealer Manager of the Servicing Fee with respect to the Units for which Dealer continues
to act as broker of record.
Subject to the conditions described herein, the Dealer Manager will reallocate to Dealer the
Servicing Fee in an amount described below, on Class S Units, Class D Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-
D Units, Class E-S Units or Class E-D Units, as applicable, sold by Dealer. To the extent payable, the
Servicing Fee will be payable monthly in arrears as provided in the Memorandum. All determinations
regarding the Dealer’s compliance with the listed conditions in this Schedule I will be made by the Dealer
Manager in good faith in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the terms of the Memorandum, at such time as the
Dealer is no longer the broker-dealer of record with respect to such Class S Units, Class D Units, Class A-
S Units, Class A-D Units, Class E-S Units or Class E-D Units or the Dealer no longer satisfies any or all
of the conditions set forth above, then Dealer’s entitlement to the Servicing Fees related to such Class S
Units, Class D Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class E-S Units and/or Class E-D Units, as
applicable, shall cease in, and Dealer shall not receive the Servicing Fee for, that month or any portion
thereof (i.e., Servicing Fees are payable with respect to an entire month without any proration). Dealer-
dealer transfers will be made effective as of the last business day of a month.
Thereafter, such Servicing Fees may be reallocated to the then-current broker-dealer of record of
the Class S Units, Class D Units, Class A-S Units, Class A-D Units, Class E-S Units and/or Class E-D
Units, as applicable, if any such broker-dealer of record has been designated (the “Servicing Dealer”), to
the extent such Servicing Dealer has entered into a Selected Dealer Agreement or similar agreement with
the Dealer Manager (“Servicing Agreement”) and such Selected Dealer Agreement or Servicing
Agreement with the Servicing Dealer provides for such reallocation. In this regard, all determinations will
be made by the Dealer Manager in good faith in its sole discretion. The Dealer is not entitled to any
Servicing Fee with respect to Class I Units, Class A-I Units or Class E-I Units.
General
Servicing Fees due to the Dealer pursuant to this Agreement will be paid to Dealer within thirty
(30) days after receipt by the Dealer Manager. Dealer, in its sole discretion, may authorize Dealer
Manager to deposit Servicing Fees or other payments due to it pursuant to this Agreement directly to its
bank account. If Dealer so elects, the Dealer shall provide such deposit authorization and instructions in
Schedule II to this Agreement.
The parties hereby agree that the foregoing Subscription Fees and Servicing Fees are not in
excess of the usual and customary brokers’ commission received in the sale of securities similar to the
Units, that the Dealer’s interest in the Offering is limited to such Subscription Fee from its Customers and
Servicing Fee from the Dealer Manager.
Dealer waives any and all rights to receive compensation, including the Servicing Fee, until it is
paid to and received by the Dealer Manager. Dealer affirms that the Dealer Manager’s liability for
Servicing Fees is limited solely to the proceeds of the Servicing Fee receivable from the Partnership and
Dealer hereby waives any and all rights to receive any reallocation of the Servicing Fee due until such
time as the Dealer Manager is in receipt of the Servicing Fee from the Partnership. Dealer affirms that
neither the Partnership nor the Dealer Manager have any obligation to the Dealer with respect to any
Subscription Fees Dealer may charge to a Customer.
Dealer shall furnish the Dealer Manager and the Partnership with such information as shall
reasonably be requested by the Partnership with respect to the fees paid to Dealer pursuant to this
Schedule I, and Dealer shall notify the Dealer Manager if Dealer is not eligible to receive Subscription
Fees and/or Servicing Fees at the time of purchase.

[DATE]
[__], together with its affiliates (“Dealer”), hereby certifies Carlyle Private Equity Partners Fund, L.P.
and CPEP ▇▇▇▇▇▇, L.P. (collectively, the “Partnership”) as follows:
1.The limited partnership units (the “Units”) in the Partnership, have not been offered by Dealer by
any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including (without limitation) any
advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or
similar media or broadcast over television or radio, and any seminars or meetings whose
attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or advertising.
▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇ has maintained an accurate record of all offerees to whom Dealer has distributed a copy of
the Memorandum relating to the Partnership.
3.None of (i) Dealer, (ii) any person who through Dealer has been or will be paid (directly or
indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with such sale of securities,
(iii) any general partner or managing member of any person described in (i) or (ii), or (iv) any
director, executive officer or other officer participating directly or indirectly in the offering of the
Units, of any person described in (i), (ii) or (iii) (each, a “Covered Person”) are subject to an
event described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i)-(viii) of Regulation D promulgated under the U.S. Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (“Disqualifying Events”), except (i) any Waived Disqualifying Events
disclosed in Schedule V of this Selected Dealer Agreement or (ii) as set forth in any notice
required by Section 5(a)(xvii) and Section 5(xix) of this Selected Dealer Agreement. The Waived
Disqualifying Event(s) will not cause the Partnership to be disqualified from reliance upon Rule
506 as a result of the Dealer’s (and its related persons’) participation in the offering of the Units.
For purposes of the foregoing, “director”, “officer” and “executive officer” will have the
meanings ascribed to them in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
4.The Dealer has provided the Partnership with a copy of the applicable waiver, order, judgment or
decree granted under Rule 506(d)(2)(ii)-(iii) with respect to a Waived Disqualifying Event. To the
extent that a condition of a waiver, order, judgment or decree applicable to a Waived
Disqualifying Event requires disclosure to prospective investors in the Partnership, the Dealer
agrees that the description on Schedule V hereto of the Waived Disqualifying Event complies
with the requirements of the applicable waiver, order, judgment or decree granted under Rule
506(d)(2)(ii)-(iii) and the Dealer authorizes the disclosure of any descriptions on Schedule V to
current and prospective investors of the Partnership.
5.The Dealer will notify the Partnership promptly in writing (i) if any of the information contained
in this certificate becomes untrue or incomplete at any time or (ii) should it become aware of any
Covered Person becoming the subject of or otherwise involved in any matter that would be
reasonably likely upon resolution thereof to result in a Disqualifying Event.
This Certificate is delivered for the benefit of the Partnership and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP only,
and may not be relied upon by any other person for any purpose whatsoever.
