MANAGEMENT

__________________________

3.1           Management and Control.

(a)           Management and control of the business of the Fund shall be vested in the Board of Managers, which shall have the right, power and authority, on behalf of the Fund and in its name, to exercise all rights, powers and authority of managers under the Delaware Act and to do all things necessary and proper to carry out the objective and business of the Fund and its duties hereunder.  No Manager shall have the authority individually to act on behalf of or to bind the Fund except within the scope of such Manager's authority as delegated by the Board of Managers.  The parties hereto intend that, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein: (i)each Manager shall be vested with the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the Fund as are customarily vested in each director of a Delaware corporation; and (ii) each Independent Manager shall be vested with the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the Fund as are customarily vested in each director of a closed-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act that is organized as a Delaware corporation who is not an "interested person," as such term is defined in the 1940 Act, of such company.  During any period in which the Fund shall have no Managers, the Adviser shall continue to serve as the Adviser to the Fund.

(b)           Each Member agrees not to treat on such Member's personal income tax return or in any claim for a tax refund, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of such item by the Fund.  The Board of Managers shall have the exclusive authority and discretion to make any elections required or permitted to be made by the Fund under any provisions of the Code or any other revenue laws.

(c)           Members shall have no right to participate in and shall take no part in the management or control of the Fund's business and shall have no right, power or authority to act for or bind the Fund.  Members shall have the right to vote on any matters only as provided in this Agreement or on any matters that require the approval of the holders of voting securities under the 1940 Act or as otherwise required in the Delaware Act.

(d)           The Board of Managers may delegate to any other person any rights, power and authority vested by this Agreement in the Board of Managers to the extent permissible under applicable law, and may appoint persons to serve as Officers.

3.2           Actions by the Board of Managers.

(a)           Unless provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Board of Managers shall act only: (i) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Managers (which majority shall include any requisite number of Independent Managers required by the 0000 Xxx) present at a meeting duly called at which a quorum of the Managers shall be present (in person or, if in person attendance is

not required by the 1940 Act, by telephone); or (ii) by unanimous written consent of all of the Managers without a meeting, if permissible under the 0000 Xxx.

(b)           The Board of Managers may designate from time to time a Principal Manager who shall preside at all meetings.  Meetings of the Board of Managers may be called by the Principal Manager or by any two Managers, and may be held on such date and at such time and place as the Board of Managers shall determine.  Each Manager shall be entitled to receive written notice of the date, time and place of such meeting within a reasonable time in advance of the meeting.  Notice need not be given to any Manager who shall attend a meeting without objecting to the lack of notice or who shall execute a written waiver of notice with respect to the meeting.  Managers may attend and participate in any meeting by telephone except where in person attendance at a meeting is required by the 1940 Act.  A majority of the Managers shall constitute a quorum at any meeting.

3.3           Officers.

(a)           The Board of Managers may elect one or more Officers.  The Board of Managers may also delegate to an Officer the authority to appoint, remove or fix the duties, compensation or terms of office of, one or more other Officers as the Board of Managers shall at any time and from time to time deem to be advisable.  A person holding more than one office may not act in more than one capacity to execute, acknowledge or verify on behalf of the Fund any instrument required by law to be executed, acknowledged and verified by more than one Officer.  No Officer need also be a Manager.

(b)           Each Officer shall hold office until his or her successor is elected or appointed or until his or her earlier displacement from office by resignation, removal or otherwise; provided, that if the term of office of any Officer shall have been fixed by the Board of Managers, or by an Officer acting under authority delegated by the Board of Managers, such Officer shall cease to hold such office no later than the date of expiration of such term, regardless of whether any other person shall have been elected or appointed to succeed such Officer.  Any Officer may resign at any time by written notice to the Fund.  Any Officer may be removed at any time by the Board of Managers or by an Officer acting under authority delegated by the Board of Managers if, in its or his or her judgment, the best interest of the Fund would be served thereby, but such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed.  Election or appointment of an Officer shall not of itself create contract rights between the Fund and such Officer.

(c)           If the office of any Officer becomes vacant for any reason, the vacancy may be filled by the Board of Managers or by the Officer acting under authority delegated by the Board of Managers.  Each Officer elected or appointed to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the balance of the term for which his or her predecessor was elected or appointed.

(d)           All Officers as between themselves and the Fund shall have such powers, perform such duties, and be subject to such restrictions, if any, in the management of the Fund as may be provided in this Agreement, or, to the extent not so provided, as may be prescribed by the Board of Managers or by the Officer acting under authority delegated by the Board of Managers.

3.4           Meetings of Members.

(a)           Actions requiring the vote of Members may be taken at any duly constituted meeting of the Members at which a quorum is present.  Meetings of Members may be called by the Board of Managers or by Members holding 25% or more of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Members, and may be held at such time, date and place as the Board of Managers shall determine.  The Board of Managers shall arrange to provide written notice of the meeting, stating the date, time and place of the meeting and the record date therefor, to each Member entitled to vote at the meeting within a reasonable time prior thereto.  Failure to receive notice of a meeting on the part of any Member shall not affect the validity of any act or proceeding of the meeting, so long as a quorum shall be present at the meeting, except as otherwise required by applicable law.  Only matters set forth in the notice of a meeting may be voted on by Members at a meeting.  The presence in person or by proxy of Members holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible

to be cast by all Members as of the record date shall constitute a quorum at any meeting.  In the absence of a quorum, a meeting of Members may be adjourned by action of a majority in interest of Members present in person or by proxy without additional notice to the Members.  Except as otherwise required by any provision of this Agreement or of the 1940 Act: (i) those candidates receiving a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of Members shall be elected as Managers; and (ii) all other actions of the Members taken at a meeting shall require the affirmative vote of Members holding a majority of the total number of votes cast by Members who are present in person or by proxy at such meeting.

(b)           Each Member shall be entitled to cast at any meeting of Members a number of votes equivalent to such Member's Investment Percentage as of the record date for such meeting.  The Board of Managers shall establish a record date not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the date of any meeting of Members to determine eligibility to vote at such meeting and the number of votes which each Member will be entitled to cast thereat, and shall maintain for each such record date a list setting forth the name of each Member and the number of votes that each Member will be entitled to cast at the meeting.

(c)           A Member may vote at any meeting of Members by a proxy properly executed by the Member and filed with the Fund before or at the time of the meeting.  A proxy may be suspended or revoked, as the case may be, by the Member executing the proxy by a later dated proxy delivered to the Fund at any time prior to exercise of the proxy or if the Member executing the proxy shall be present at the meeting and decides to vote in person.  Any action of the Members that is permitted to be taken at a meeting of Members may be taken without a meeting if consents in writing, setting forth the action taken, are signed by Members holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast or such greater percentage as may be required in order to approve such action.

3.5           Custody of Assets of the Fund.

Custody of all funds, Securities or other properties of the Fund shall at all times, be maintained by one or more custodians retained by the Fund in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder.

3.6           Other Activities of Members and Managers.

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

(b)           Any Member or Manager, and any Affiliate of any Member or Manager, may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures or commercial dealings of every kind and description, independently or with others, including, but not limited to, acquisition and disposition of Securities, provision of investment advisory or brokerage services, serving as directors, officers, employees, advisers or agents of other companies, partners of any partnership, members of any limited liability company, or trustees of any trust, or entering into any other commercial arrangements.  No Member or Manager shall have any rights in or to such activities of any other Member or Manager, or any profits derived therefrom.

3.7           Duty of Care.

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

(b)           Members not in breach of any obligation hereunder or under any agreement pursuant to which the Member subscribed for an Interest shall be liable to the Fund, any Member or third parties only as provided under the Delaware Act.

3.8           Indemnification.

(a)           To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Fund shall, subject to Section 3.8(b) hereof, indemnify each Manager and Officer (including for this purpose his or her respective executors, heirs, assigns, successors or other legal representatives), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, or as fines or penalties, and reasonable counsel fees, incurred in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit, investigation or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any judicial, arbitral, administrative or legislative body, in which such indemnitee may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise, or with which such indemnitee may be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of being or having been a Manager or Officer of the Fund or the past or present performance of services to the Fund by such indemnitee, except to the extent such loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense shall have been finally determined in a decision on the merits in any such action, suit, investigation or other proceeding to have been incurred or suffered by such indemnitee by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee's office.  The rights of indemnification provided under this Section 3.8 shall not be construed so as to provide for indemnification of a Manager or Officer for any liability (including liability under Federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on persons that act in good faith) to the extent (but only to the extent) that such indemnification would be in violation of applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the applicable provisions of this Section 3.8 to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(b)           Expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, so incurred by any such indemnitee (but excluding amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, or as fines or penalties), may be paid from time to time by the Fund in advance of the final disposition of any such action, suit, investigation or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such indemnitee to repay to the Fund amounts so paid if it shall ultimately be determined that indemnification of such expenses is not authorized under Section 3.8(a) hereof; provided, however, that (i) such indemnitee shall provide security for such undertaking, (ii) the Fund shall be insured by or on behalf of such indemnitee against losses arising by reason of such indemnitee's failure to fulfill his, her or its undertaking, or (iii) a majority of the Managers (excluding any Manager who is either seeking advancement of expenses hereunder or is or has been a party to any other action, suit, investigation or proceeding involving claims similar to those involved in the action, suit, investigation or proceeding giving rise to a claim for advancement of expenses hereunder) or independent legal counsel in a written opinion shall determine based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) that there is reason to believe such indemnitee ultimately will be entitled to indemnification.

(c)           As to the disposition of any action, suit, investigation or proceeding (whether by a compromise payment, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise) without an adjudication or a decision on the merits by a court, or by any other body before which the proceeding shall have been brought, that an indemnitee is liable to the Fund or its Members by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee's office, indemnification shall be provided pursuant to Section 3.8(a) hereof if (i) approved as in the best interests of the Fund by a majority of the Managers (excluding any Manager who is either seeking indemnification hereunder or is or has been a party to any other action, suit, investigation or proceeding involving claims similar to those involved in the action, suit, investigation or proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder) upon a determination based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) that such indemnitee acted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that such actions were in the best interests of the Fund and that such indemnitee is not liable to the Fund or its Members by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee's office, or (ii) the Board of Managers secures a written opinion of independent legal counsel based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) to the effect that such indemnification would not protect such indemnitee against any liability to the Fund or its Members to which such indemnitee would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee's office.

(d)           Any indemnification or advancement of expenses made pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall not prevent the recovery from any indemnitee of any such amount if such indemnitee subsequently shall be determined in a decision on the merits in any action, suit, investigation or proceeding involving the liability or expense that gave rise to such indemnification or advancement of expenses to be liable to the Fund or its Members by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee's office.  In (i) any suit brought by a Manager (or other person entitled to indemnification hereunder) to enforce a right to indemnification under this Section 3.8 it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit in the name of the Fund to recover any indemnification or advancement of expenses made pursuant to this Section 3.8 the Fund shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the Manager or other person claiming a right to indemnification under this Section 3.8 has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 3.8.  In any such suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover any indemnification or advancement of expenses made pursuant to this Section 3.8, the burden of proving that the Manager or other person claiming a right to indemnification is not entitled to be indemnified, or to any indemnification or advancement of expenses, under this Section 3.8 shall be on the Fund (or any Member acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the Fund or its Members).

(e)           An indemnitee may not satisfy any right of indemnification or advancement of expenses granted in this Section 3.8 or to which such indemnitee may otherwise be entitled except out of the assets of the Fund, and no Member shall be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses.

(f)           The rights of indemnification provided hereunder shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any person may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law.  Nothing contained in this Section 3.8 shall affect the power of the Fund to purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of any Manager or other person.

3.9           Fees, Expenses and Reimbursement.

(a)           So long as the Adviser serves as investment adviser of the Fund, it shall be entitled to receive fees for such services pursuant to its Investment Advisory Agreement with the Fund.

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

(c)           The Fund shall bear all expenses associated with its operations other than those specifically required to be borne by the Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement pursuant to the agreement referred to in Section 3.9(a) hereof.  Expenses to be borne by the Fund include, but are not limited to, the following:

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

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

(3) attorneys' fees and disbursements associated with updating the Fund's Confidential Memorandum and subscription documents (the "Offering Materials"); the costs of printing the Offering Materials; the costs of distributing the Offering Materials to prospective investors and Members; and attorneys' fees and disbursements associated with the review of subscription documents executed and delivered to the Fund in connection with offerings of Interests;

(4) the costs and expenses of holding meetings of the Board of Managers and any meetings of Members;

(5) fees and disbursements of any attorneys, accountants, auditors and other consultants and professionals engaged on behalf of the Fund or the Independent Managers;

(6) the costs of a fidelity bond and any liability insurance obtained on behalf of the Fund, its Managers and its officers;

(7) fees payable to the Adviser, and the fees of administrators, custodians, Member servicing agents and other persons providing administrative services to the Fund;

(8) all expenses of computing the Fund's net asset value, including any equipment or pricing services used for such purposes;

(9) all charges for equipment or services used in communicating information regarding the Fund's transactions among the Adviser and any custodian or other agent engaged by the Fund;

(10) subject to approval by the Board of Managers, costs and expenses related to Member services provided by the Adviser or by other persons retained to provide such services; and

(11) such other types of expenses as may be approved from time to time by the Board of Managers, other than those required to be borne by the Adviser.

The Adviser shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Fund for any of the above expenses that it pays on behalf of the Fund.

ARTICLE IV

TERMINATION OF STATUS OF SPECIAL ADVISORY MEMBER

AND MANAGERS, TRANSFERS AND REPURCHASES

_________________________________

4.1           Termination of Status of the Special Advisory Member.

The status of the Special Advisory Member shall terminate if the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser terminates and the Fund does not enter into a new Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser (or an Affiliate of the Adviser), effective upon such termination.

4.2           Termination of Status of a Manager.

The status of a Manager shall terminate if the Manager: (i) shall die; (ii) shall be adjudicated incompetent; (iii) shall voluntarily withdraw as a Manager (upon not less than 90 days' prior written notice to the other Managers); (iv) shall be removed; (v) shall be certified by a physician to be mentally or physically unable to perform his or her duties hereunder; (vi) shall be declared bankrupt by a court with appropriate jurisdiction, file a petition commencing a voluntary case under any bankruptcy law or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (vii) shall have a receiver appointed to administer the property or affairs of such Manager; or (viii) shall otherwise cease to be a Manager of the Fund under the Delaware Act.

4.3           Removal of the Managers.

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

4.4           Transfer of Interests of Members.

(a)           An Interest of a Member may be Transferred only (i) by operation of law pursuant to the death, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of such Member or (ii) with the written consent of the Board of Managers (which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion); provided, however, that the Board of Managers may not consent to any Transfer other than a Transfer (i) in which the tax basis of the Interest in the hands of the transferee is determined, in whole or in part, by reference to its tax basis in the hands of the transferor (e.g., certain Transfers to affiliates, gifts and contributions to family entities), (ii) to members of the Member's immediate family (brothers, sisters, spouse, parents and children), or (iii) a distribution from a qualified retirement plan or an individual retirement account, unless it consults with counsel to the Fund and counsel to the Fund confirms that such Transfer will not cause the Fund to be treated as a "publicly traded partnership" taxable as a corporation.

(b)           The Board of Managers may not consent to a Transfer of an Interest or a portion thereof of a Member unless:  (i) the person to whom such Interest is transferred is a person whom the Fund believes is an accredited investor, as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 or any successor thereto; (ii) the person to whom such Interest is Transferred (or each of such person's beneficial owners if such a person is a "private investment company" as defined in paragraph (d)(3) of Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act) is a person whom the Board of Managers believes meets the requirements of paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act and all then applicable qualification requirements to invest in the Fund as established by the Board of Managers; (ii) the entire Interest of the Member is Transferred to a single transferee or, after the Transfer of a portion of an Interest, the balance of the Capital Account of each of the transferee and transferor is not less than the then applicable minimum investment requirement imposed by the Fund, as may be determined by the Board of Managers from time to time.  Any transferee which acquires an Interest by operation of law as the result of the death, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of a Member or otherwise, shall be entitled to the allocations and distributions allocable to the Interest so acquired, to Transfer such Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and to tender the Interest for repurchase by the Fund, but shall not be entitled to the other rights of a Member unless and until such transferee becomes a substituted Member.  If a Member transfers an Interest with the approval of the Board of Managers, the Board of Managers shall promptly take all necessary actions so that the transferee to whom such Interest is transferred is admitted to the Fund as a Member.  Each Member effecting a Transfer and its transferee agree to pay all expenses, including attorneys' and accountants' fees, incurred by the Fund in connection with such Transfer.

(c)           Each Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, the Managers, the Adviser, each other Member and any Affiliate of the foregoing against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including legal or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses or any judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement), joint or several, to which such persons may become subject by reason of or arising from (i) any Transfer made by such Member in violation of this Section 4.4 and (ii) any misrepresentation by such Member in connection with any such Transfer.

4.5           Transfer of Interests of Special Advisory Member.

The Special Advisory Member may not Transfer its Interest as the Special Advisory Member, except to an Affiliate of the Adviser and only with the written consent of the Board of Managers.

4.6           Repurchase of Interests.

(a)           Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member or other person holding an Interest or portion thereof shall have the right to withdraw or tender to the Fund for repurchase that Interest or any portion thereof.  The Board of Managers may from time to time, in its complete and exclusive discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may determine, cause the Fund to repurchase Interests or portions thereof pursuant to written tenders.  However, the Fund shall not offer to repurchase Interests on more than two occasions during any one Fiscal Year unless it has been advised by counsel to the Fund to the effect that such more frequent offers would not cause any adverse tax consequences to the Fund or the Members.  In determining whether to cause the Fund to repurchase Interests or portions thereof pursuant to written tenders, the Board of Managers shall consider the recommendation of the Adviser, and shall also consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination:

(1) whether any Members have requested to tender Interests or portions thereof to the Fund;

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

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

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

(5) the history of the Fund in repurchasing Interests or portions thereof;

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

(7) the anticipated tax consequences of any proposed repurchases of Interests or portions thereof.

The Board of Managers shall cause the Fund to repurchase Interests or portions thereof pursuant to written tenders only on terms fair to the Fund and to all Members or one or more classes of Members (including persons holding Interests acquired from Members), as applicable.

(b)           A Member who tenders for repurchase only a portion of such Member's Interest shall be required to maintain a Capital Account balance in such minimum amount as may, from time to time, be determined by the Board of Managers.

(c)           The Adviser may tender its Interest or a portion thereof as a Member or Special Advisory Member of the Fund under Section 4.6(a) hereof.  An Affiliate of the Adviser, if designated the Special Advisory Member, may similarly tender its Interest or a portion thereof under Section 4.6(a) hereof.

(d)           If the Special Advisory Member's status is terminated pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, it (or its trustee or other legal representative) may, by written notice to the Board of Managers within 60 days of the effective date of such termination, tender to the Fund for repurchase all or any portion of its Special Advisory Account.  Not later than thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, the Board of Managers shall cause such tendered portion of the Special Advisory Account to be repurchased by the Fund for cash.

(e)           The Board of Managers may cause the Fund to repurchase an Interest or portion thereof of a Member or any person acquiring an Interest or portion thereof from or through a Member in the event that the Board of Managers determines or has reason to believe that:

(1) such an Interest or portion thereof has been transferred in violation of Section 4.4 hereof, or such an Interest or portion thereof has vested in any person by operation of law as the result of the death, dissolution, bankruptcy or adjudication of incompetence of a Member;

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

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

(4) any of the representations and warranties made by a Member in connection with the acquisition of an Interest or portion thereof was not true when made or has ceased to be true;

(5) it would be in the best interests of the Fund, as determined by the Board of Managers in its absolute discretion, for the Fund to repurchase such an Interest or portion thereof;

(6) the value of a Member's Interest is less than an amount that the Board of Managers determines to be a minimum investment in the Fund, or more than an amount that the Board determines to be a maximum investment in the Fund; or

(7) such repurchase is necessary to correct an administrative error made by the Fund or its agent in connection with the sale or purchase of an Interest.

(f)           Payments for repurchases of Interests or portions thereof by the Fund shall be made promptly after such repurchase in accordance with the terms of the Fund's repurchase offer.  Payment of the purchase price may consist of:  (i) cash in an aggregate amount equal to such percentage, as may be determined by the Board of Managers, of the estimated unaudited net asset value of Interests repurchased by the Fund determined as of the expiration date of such repurchase (the "Cash Payment"); and, if determined to be necessary or appropriate by the Board of Managers, (ii) a promissory note entitling the holder thereof to a contingent payment equal to the excess, of any, of (x) the net asset value of the Interests repurchased by the Fund as of the expiration date of such repurchases, determined based on the audited financial statements of the Fund for the Fiscal Year in which such repurchases were effective, over (y) the Cash Payment.  Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Board of Managers, in its discretion, may pay any portion of the purchase price in marketable Securities (or any combination of marketable Securities and cash) having a value, determined as of the date of repurchase, equal to the amount to be repurchased.  All such repurchases shall be subject to any and all conditions as the Board of Managers may impose in its sole discretion.  The amount due to any Member whose Interest or portion thereof is repurchased shall be equal to the value of such Member's Capital Account or portion thereof as applicable as of the date specified in the applicable repurchase offer or, in the case of the repurchase of an Interest pursuant to paragraph (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 4.6, as of the date of repurchase of such Interest, after giving effect to all allocations to be made to such Member's Capital Account as of such date.

CAPITAL

____________________________________

5.1           Contributions to Capital.

(a)           The minimum initial contribution of each Member to the capital of the Fund shall be such amount as the Board of Managers, in its discretion, may determine from time to time, but in no event shall be less than $100,000; provided, however, that the minimum initial contribution of each Member that is a director, officer or employee of the Adviser, or an Affiliate of the Adviser may be such lesser amount as may be determined by the Board of Managers from time to time.  The amount of the initial contribution of each Member shall be recorded on the books and records of the Fund upon acceptance as a contribution to the capital of the Fund.  The Managers shall not be entitled to make voluntary contributions of capital to the Fund as Managers of the Fund, but may make voluntary contributions to the capital of the Fund as Members.  The Adviser may make voluntary contributions to the capital of the Fund as a Member.

(b)           Members and the Adviser, as a Member, may make additional contributions to the capital of the Fund in such amounts as the Board of Managers, in its discretion, may determine from time to time, and effective as of such times as the Board of Managers in its discretion may permit, subject to Section 2.7 hereof, but no Member shall be obligated to make any additional contribution to the capital of the Fund except to the extent provided in Sections 5.5 and 5.6 hereof.

(c)           Except as otherwise permitted by the Board of Managers, (i) initial and any additional contributions to the capital of the Fund by any Member shall be payable in cash or in such Securities that the Board of Managers, in its absolute discretion, may agree to accept on behalf of the Fund, and (ii) initial and any additional contributions in cash shall be payable in readily available funds at the date of the proposed acceptance of the contribution.  The Fund shall charge each Member making a contribution in Securities to the capital of the Fund such amount as may be determined by the Board of Managers not exceeding 2% of the value of such contribution in order to reimburse the Fund for any costs incurred by the Fund by reason of accepting such Securities, and any such charge shall be due and payable by the contributing Member in full at the time the contribution to the capital of the Fund to which such charges relate is due.  The value of contributed Securities shall be determined in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof as of the date of contribution.

(d)           The minimum initial and additional contributions set forth in (a) and (b) of this Section 5.1 may be reduced by the Board of Managers.

5.2           Rights of Members to Capital

No Member shall be entitled to interest on any contribution to the capital of the Fund, nor shall any Member be entitled to the return of any capital of the Fund except: (i) upon the repurchase by the Fund of a part or all of such Member's Interest pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof; (ii) pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.6(c) hereof; or (iii) upon the liquidation of the Fund's assets pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof.  No Member shall be liable for the return of any such amounts.  No Member shall have the right to require partition of the Fund's property or to compel any sale or appraisal of the Fund's assets.

5.3           Capital Accounts.

(a)           The Fund shall maintain a separate Capital Account for each Member.

(b)           Each Member's Capital Account shall have an initial balance equal to the amount of cash and the value of any Securities (determined in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof) (net of any liabilities secured by such Securities that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to Section 752 of the Code) constituting such Member's initial contribution to the capital of the Fund.

(c)           Each Member's Capital Account shall be increased by the sum of: (i) the amount of cash and the value of any Securities (determined in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof) (net of any liabilities secured by such Securities that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to Section 752 of the Code) constituting additional contributions by such Member to the capital of the Fund permitted pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof; plus (ii) all amounts credited to such Member's Capital Account pursuant to Sections 5.4 through 5.6 or 5.9 hereof.

(d)           Each Member's Capital Account shall be reduced by the sum of: (i) the amount of any repurchase of the Interest, or portion thereof, of such Member or distributions to such Member pursuant to Sections 4.6, 5.9 or 6.2 hereof which are not reinvested (net of any liabilities secured by any asset distributed that such Member is deemed to assume or take subject to Section 752 of the Code); plus (ii) any amounts debited against such Member's Capital Account pursuant to Sections 5.4 through 5.6 hereof.

(e)           The Fund shall maintain a Special Advisory Account for the Special Advisory Member solely for purposes of receiving the Incentive Allocation pursuant to Section 5.7 hereof.  The Special Advisory Account shall have an initial balance of zero.

5.4           Allocation of Net Profit and Net Loss.

As of the last day of each Fiscal Period, any Net Profit or Net Loss for the Fiscal Period shall be allocated among and credited to or debited against the Capital Accounts of the Members in accordance with their respective Investment Percentages for such Fiscal Period.

5.5           Allocation of Certain Withholding Taxes and Other Expenditures.

(a)           If the Fund incurs a withholding tax or other tax obligation with respect to the share of Fund income allocable to any Member, then the Board of Managers, without limitation of any other rights of the Fund or the Managers, shall cause the amount of such obligation to be debited against the Capital Account of such Member when the Fund pays such obligation, and any amounts then or thereafter distributable to such Member shall be reduced by the amount of such taxes.  If the amount of such taxes is greater than any such distributable amounts, then such Member and any successor to such Member's Interest shall pay to the Fund as a contribution to the capital of the Fund, upon demand of the Board of Managers, the amount of such excess.  The Board of Managers shall not be obligated to apply for or obtain a reduction of or exemption from withholding tax on behalf of any Member that may be eligible for such reduction or exemption; provided, that in the event that the Board of Managers determines that a Member is eligible for a refund of any withholding tax, the Board of Managers may, at the request and expense of such Member, assist such Member in applying for such refund.

(b)           Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and unless prohibited by the 1940 Act, any expenditures payable by the Fund, to the extent determined by the Board of Managers to have been paid or withheld on behalf of, or by reason of particular circumstances applicable to, one or more but fewer than all of the Members, shall be charged to only those Members on whose behalf such payments are made or whose particular circumstances gave rise to such payments.  Such charges shall be debited from the Capital Accounts of such Members as of the close of the Fiscal Period during which any such items were paid or accrued by the Fund.

5.6           Reserves.

(a)           Appropriate reserves may be created, accrued and charged against Net Assets and proportionately against the Capital Accounts of the Members for contingent liabilities, if any, as of the date any such contingent liability becomes known to the Adviser or the Board of Managers, such reserves to be in the amounts which the Board of Managers in its sole discretion deems necessary or appropriate.  The Board of Managers may increase or reduce any such reserves from time to time by such amounts as the Board of Managers in its sole discretion deems necessary or appropriate.  The amount of any such reserve, or any increase or decrease therein, shall be proportionately charged or credited, as appropriate, to the Capital Accounts of those parties who are Members at the time when such reserve is created, increased or decreased, as the case may be; provided, however, that if any such individual reserve item, adjusted by any increase therein, exceeds the lesser of $500,000 or 1% of the aggregate value of the Capital Accounts of all such Members, the amount of such reserve, increase, or decrease shall instead be charged or credited to those parties who were Members at the time, as determined by the Board of Managers in its sole discretion, of the act or omission giving rise to the contingent liability for which the reserve was established, increased or decreased  in proportion to their Capital Accounts at that time.

(b)           If at any time an amount is paid or received by the Fund (other than contributions to the capital of the Fund, distributions or repurchases of Interests or portions thereof) and such amount exceeds the lesser of $500,000 or 1% of the aggregate value of the Capital Accounts of all Members at the time of payment or receipt and such amount was not accrued or reserved for but would nevertheless, in accordance with the Fund's accounting practices, be treated as applicable to one or more prior Fiscal Periods, then such amount shall be proportionately charged or credited, as appropriate, to those parties who were Members during such prior Fiscal Period or Fiscal Periods.

(c)           If any amount is required by paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5.6 to be charged or credited to a party who is no longer a Member, such amount shall be paid by or to such party, as the case may be, in cash, with interest from the date on which the Board of Managers determines that such charge or credit is required.  In the case of a charge, the former Member shall be obligated to pay the amount of the charge, plus interest as provided above, to the Fund on demand; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall a former Member be obligated to make a payment exceeding the amount of such Member's Capital Account at the time to which the charge relates; and (ii) no such demand shall be made after the expiration of three years since the date on which such party ceased to be a Member.  To the extent that a former Member fails to pay to the Fund, in full, any amount required to be charged to such former Member pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b), whether due to the expiration of the applicable limitation period or for any other reason whatsoever, the deficiency shall be charged proportionately to the Capital Accounts of the Members at the time of the act or omission giving rise to the charge to the extent feasible, and otherwise proportionately to the Capital Accounts of the current Members.

5.7           Incentive Allocation.

(a)           The Incentive Allocation shall be debited against the Capital Account of each Member as of the last day of each Allocation Period with respect to such Member and the amount so debited shall simultaneously be credited to the Special Advisory Account.

(b)           By the last business day of the month following the date on which an Incentive Allocation is made, the Special Advisory Member may withdraw up to 100% of the Incentive Allocation (computed on the basis of unaudited data) that was credited to the Special Advisory Account.  Within 30 days after the completion of the audit of the books of the Fund for the year in which allocations to the Special Advisory Account are made, the Fund shall pay to the Special Advisory Member any additional amount of Incentive Allocation determined to be owed to the Special Advisory Member based on the audit, and the Special Advisory Member shall pay to the Fund any excess amount of Incentive Allocation determined to be owed to the Fund.

5.8           Allocation for Tax Purposes.

For each Fiscal Year, items of income, deduction, gain, loss or credit shall be allocated for income tax purposes among the Members in such manner as to reflect equitably amounts credited or debited to each Member's Capital Account(s) for the current and prior Fiscal Years (or relevant portions thereof).  Allocations under this Section 5.8 shall be made pursuant to the principles of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g), 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) and 1.704-3(e) promulgated thereunder, as applicable, or the successor provisions to such Sections and Regulations.  Items described in this Section 5.8 shall neither be credited nor charged to the Members' Capital Accounts.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, there shall be allocated to the Members such gains or income as shall be necessary to satisfy the “qualified income offset” requirements of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

If the Fund realizes Income for any tax year during or as of the end of which one or more Positive Basis Members withdraw from the Fund pursuant to Article IV, the Board of Managers may elect to allocate such Income as follows:  (i) to allocate such Income among such Positive Basis Members, pro rata in proportion to the respective Positive Basis of each such Positive Basis Member, until either the full amount of such Income shall have been so allocated or the Positive Basis of each such Positive Basis Member shall have been eliminated and (ii) to allocate any Income not so allocated to Positive Basis Members to the other Members in such manner as shall equitably reflect the amounts allocated to such Members' Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 5.3.

If the Fund realizes Losses for any tax year during or as of the end of which one or more Negative Basis Members withdraw from the Fund pursuant to Article IV, the Board of Managers may elect to allocate such Losses as follows:  (i) to allocate such Losses among such Negative Basis Members, pro rata in proportion to the respective Negative Basis of each such Negative Basis Member, until either the full amount of such Losses shall have been so allocated or the Negative Basis of each such Negative Basis Member shall have been eliminated and (ii) to allocate any Losses not so allocated to Negative Basis Members to the other Members in such manner as shall equitably reflect the amounts allocated to such Members' Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 5.03.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing in this Section 5.8, if the Special Advisory Member withdraws all or a portion of its Capital Account during any tax year, the Board of Managers may specially allocate income to the Special Advisory Member equal to the amount by which such withdrawn amounts exceeds the Special Advisory Member’s adjusted tax basis, for income tax purposes, in its interest in the Fund (determined prior to any such allocations).

5.9           Distributions.

(a)           The Board of Managers, in its sole discretion, may authorize the Fund to make distributions in cash at any time to all of the Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Members' Investment Percentages.

(b)           The Board of Managers may withhold taxes from any distribution to any Member to the extent required by the Code or any other applicable law.  For purposes of this Agreement, any taxes so withheld by the Fund with respect to any amount distributed by the Fund to any Member shall be deemed to be a distribution or payment to such Member, reducing the amount otherwise distributable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement and reducing the Capital Account of such Member.

(c)           The Board of Managers shall not be obligated to apply for or obtain a reduction of or exemption from withholding tax on behalf of any Member that may be eligible for such reduction or exemption.  To the extent that a Member claims to be entitled to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, a withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, or otherwise, the Member shall furnish the Board of Managers with such information and forms as such Member may be required to complete where necessary to comply with any and all laws and regulations governing the obligations of withholding tax agents.  Each Member represents and warrants that any such information and forms furnished by such Member shall be true and accurate and agrees to indemnify the Fund and each of the Members from any and all damages, costs and expenses resulting from the filing of inaccurate or incomplete information or forms relating to such withholding taxes.

5.10           Withholding.

The Board of Managers may withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service (or any other relevant taxing authority) such amounts as the Fund is required to withhold or pay over, pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code or any other applicable law, on account of a Member's distributive share of the Fund's items of gross income, income or gain.

(a)           For purposes of this Agreement, any taxes so withheld or paid over by the Fund with respect to a Member's distributive share of the Fund's gross income, income or gain shall be deemed to be a distribution or payment to such Member, reducing the amount otherwise distributable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement and reducing the Capital Account(s) of such Member.  If the amount of such taxes is greater than any such distributable amounts, then such Member and any successor to such Member's Interest shall pay the amount of such excess to the Fund, as a contribution to the capital of the Fund.

(b)           The Board of Managers shall not be obligated to apply for or obtain a reduction of or exemption from withholding tax on behalf of any Member that may be eligible for such reduction or exemption.  To the extent that a Member claims to be entitled to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, a withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, or otherwise, the Member shall furnish the Board of Managers with such information and forms as such Member may be required to complete where necessary to comply with any and all

laws and regulations governing the obligations of withholding tax agents.  Each Member represents and warrants that any such information and forms furnished by such Member shall be true and accurate and agrees to indemnify the Fund and each of the Members from any and all damages, costs and expenses resulting from the filing of inaccurate or incomplete information or forms relating to such withholding taxes.
