The Fund hereby retains the Investment Manager to act as investment adviser to the Fund for the periods and on the terms set forth herein, and the Fund hereby delegates to the Investment Manager full and exclusive discretion to invest, reinvest and dispose of the Fund’s assets. The Investment Manager hereby agrees to furnish the services to the Fund as set forth herein for the compensation provided herein.

In addition, subject to the ultimate supervision and direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Investment Manager may settle, compromise or submit to arbitration any claims, debts, or damages due or owing to or from the Fund, participate in, commence or defend legal proceedings and represent the Fund in legal proceedings (including, without limitation, class actions and derivative actions). In providing those services, the Investment Manager will (x) invest and otherwise manage the assets of the Fund in accordance with the Memorandum, the Supplements, the Registration Statement and the LLC Agreement and (y) provide the Fund with ongoing research, analysis, advice and judgments regarding individual investments, general economic conditions and trends and long-range investment policy. The Fund hereby agrees that the Investment Manager may (and the Fund further authorizes the Investment Manager to) use information obtained by it in its capacity as investment manager to the Fund to provide information to, or for the benefit of, the unit holders of the Fund (the “Unitholders”), including without limitation reports on valuation, portfolio positions and portfolio risk profiles. The Investment Manager has the authority to (A) enter into agreements and execute any documents required to make investments pursuant to the Memorandum and Supplements, which shall include without limitation any market and/or industry standard documentation and the standard representations contained therein and (B) acknowledge the receipt of brokers’ risk disclosure statements, electronic trading disclosure statements and similar disclosures. The Investment Manager is also authorized to instruct Citibank N.A. or its permitted successor or assign, (the “Custodian”) to: (1) pay cash for securities and other property delivered to the Custodian for the Fund, (2) deliver or accept delivery of cash, foreign currency, securities, commodities or other property underlying any futures or options contracts, and other property for the benefit of the Fund and (3) deposit margin or collateral which shall include the transfer of money, securities or other property to the extent necessary to meet the obligations of the Fund.

(b)    Services as Administrative Coordinator of the Fund. The Administrative Coordinator will provide certain Administrative Services (as defined in the LLC Agreement) to the Fund, including (i) responsibility for the books and records with respect to the Fund and its transactions and coordinating the financial reporting of the Fund in accordance with the LLC Agreement, (ii) coordinating and supervising the activities of, and act as liaison with, each party providing legal, audit, tax, administrator services, prime brokerage (if applicable), custodial, fund accounting, financial reporting and/or other services to the Fund and (iii) assisting the Investment Manager to provide good faith valuations of investments for which market quotes are not readily available pursuant to the LLC Agreement.

The Investment Manager and the Administrative Coordinator shall make those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and other personnel (“Investment Manager Personnel”) and those of its and its Affiliates’ other resources available to the Fund that are reasonably necessary in the reasonable discretion of the Investment Manager and the Administrative Coordinator to perform, or shall otherwise ensure the performance of, the services hereunder, including without limitation providing on behalf of the Fund, to the extent required under the Investment Company Act, any managerial assistance as may be requested by any eligible portfolio company investment.

2

To the extent the Investment Manager selects brokers or dealers to execute transactions on behalf of the Fund, the Investment Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts to seek the best overall terms available. In assessing the best overall terms available for any Fund transaction, the Investment Manager will consider all factors it deems relevant, including but not limited to the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer, the reasonableness of the commission, if any, for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis, factors specific to alternative transactions (including, but not limited to, investments in commercial or residential real estate companies and entities) and the brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) provided to the other accounts over which the Investment Manager or its Affiliates exercise investment discretion. The parties hereto acknowledge that it is desirable for the Fund that the Investment Manager have access to supplemental investment and market research and security and economic analysis provided by broker-dealers who may execute brokerage transactions at a higher cost to the Fund than may result when allocating brokerage to other brokers on the basis of seeking the most favorable price and efficient execution. Therefore, the Investment Manager may cause the Fund to pay a broker-dealer which furnishes brokerage and research services a higher commission or spread than that which might be charged by another broker-dealer for effecting the same transaction, provided that the Investment Manager determines in good faith that such commission or spread is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker-dealer, viewed in terms of either the particular transaction or the overall responsibilities of the Investment Manager. It is understood and agreed that the services provided by such broker-dealers may be useful to the Investment Manager in connection with the Investment Manager’s services to other clients.

The Administrative Coordinator agrees to be responsible for and to preserve for the Fund such records as are necessary and proper or required by Applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Coordinator will have the primary responsibility for the books and records of the Fund. The Fund hereby acknowledges and agrees that certain records relating to the Fund as prepared by the Administrative Coordinator may be kept on a consolidated basis with other clients/accounts advised by the Investment Manager.

(a)    To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, and except to the extent specified in Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty (as the same is finally determined by judicial proceedings), the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, and each of their respective affiliates, as applicable, shall not be liable to the Fund or any Unitholder thereof, and the Fund does hereby release the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, for any act or omission, including any mistake of fact or error in judgment, taken, suffered or made by the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, as applicable, in good faith and in the belief that such act or omission is in or is not contrary to the best interests of the Fund; provided that such act or omission does not constitute Disabling Conduct (as defined herein) by the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, as applicable, has duties and liabilities relating to the Fund or the Unitholders, the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, as applicable, acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Fund or any Unitholder for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, as applicable, otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Fund to

3

replace such other duties and liabilities of the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, as applicable, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall protect or be deemed to protect the Investment Manager and/or Administrative Coordinator against or entitle or be deemed to entitle the Investment Manager or Administrative Coordinator to indemnification in respect of any liability to the Fund or the Unitholders to which the Investment Manager or the Administrative Coordinator would otherwise by subject by reason of Disabling Conduct in the performance of their duties and obligations under this Agreement (as the same shall be determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act and any interpretations or guidance by the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff thereunder). As used in this Section 6, the term “Disabling Conduct” shall mean fraud, willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the obligations and duties of the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, as applicable, under this Agreement and in the conduct of the Investment Manager’s and/or the Administrative Coordinator’s office, as applicable.

(b)    The Fund shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, as applicable, from and against any and all liabilities, disputes, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), damages, losses, fines, penalties, fees, interest and judgments, of whatever nature, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated (“Losses”), that may accrue to or be incurred by the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, as applicable, in connection with any claim, demand, investigation, suit, proceeding or action (a “Proceeding”), whether civil or criminal, in which the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, as applicable, may become involved, as a party or otherwise, or with which the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, as applicable, may be threatened, relating to or arising out of the investments or other activities of the Fund, activities undertaken in connection with the Fund, or otherwise relating to or arising out of this Agreement, including amounts paid in compromise or settlement approved by the Board, and attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation for or defense or disposition of any Proceeding (all of such Losses, amounts and expenses referred to in this Section 6 are referred to collectively as “Damages”), except to the extent that it shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable judgment, or there has been an admission by the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, as applicable, in a settlement or proceeding, that such Damages arose from Disabling Conduct of the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, as applicable (with such limitation applied solely to the extent attributable to such Disabling Conduct). The termination of any Proceeding by settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that any Damages relating to such settlement or otherwise relating to such Proceeding arose primarily from Disabling Conduct of the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, as applicable.

(c)    As used in this Section 6, the term “Investment Manager” and/or the term “Administrative Coordinator” shall include each of their respective members, principals, officers, managers, investors, employees and other representatives and agents and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, as applicable.

(d)    Nothing herein shall be deemed or construed to effect a waiver of any rights of any person under U.S. federal securities laws or state securities laws, which provide protections that by law cannot be waived.

(e)    In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 6 and Article X of the LLC Agreement, the provisions of Article X of the LLC Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall continue to afford protection to the Investment Manager and/or the Administrative Coordinator, as applicable, regardless of any subsequent amendment to this Agreement, the Fund Agreement, or termination of the Fund, and no

4

amendment to this Agreement, the Fund Agreement, or termination of the Fund shall reduce or restrict the extent to which these indemnification provisions apply to actions taken or omissions made prior to the date of such amendment or termination.

In consideration of the services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, the Fund will pay the Investment Manager a Management Fee and Incentive Fee and will pay the Administrative Coordinator an Administration Fee in the amount and in the manner as follows:

(a)    Management Fee and Administration Fee: The Fund shall pay to the Investment Manager a management fee (the “Management Fee”), calculated as of the close of business in New York, New York on the last day of each calendar quarter (each such date, the “Management Fee Calculation Date”), in an amount equal to 1.5% per annum of Invested Capital (defined as, of any date, the sum of capital contributions to the Fund plus the total amount of credit drawn on subscription credit facilities), and payable quarterly in arrears after such Management Fee Calculation Date.

The Fund shall pay to the Administrative Coordinator a fee (the “Administration Fee”), calculated as of the close of business in New York, New York on the last day of each calendar quarter (the “Administration Fee Calculation Date”), in an amount equal to 0.08% per annum of the average Cost Basis (defined as the aggregate accreted and amortized cost of all investments, including any amounts reinvested in investments and the cost of investments acquired using leverage), as measured on the last day of the preceding quarter and the last day of the current quarter for the period ended and payable quarterly in arrears after such Administration Fee Calculation Date. The Administration Fee will not offset any fees paid to the Investment Manager. The Administrative Coordinator will be responsible for all expenses of its own staff responsible for (i) certain on-going, routine, non-investment-related administrative services for the Fund, (ii) the coordination of various third party services needed or required by the Fund and (iii) certain Unitholder servicing functions.

Each of the Management Fee and the Administration Fee will be appropriately adjusted for any stub period. Such fees will be paid out of net current income and/or disposition proceeds or, to the extent such amounts are not available, from unfunded capital commitments that will be drawn down, or borrowings of the Fund. In the event that the Investment Manager arranges for the Fund to pay any portion of a fee to a placement agent, the amount of the Management Fee otherwise payable shall be reduced by an amount equal to 100% of such payment to such placement agent.

The Investment Manager reserves the right, upon approval of the Board of Directors, to waive the Management Fee and the Administrative Coordinator reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive the Administration Fee to which each is entitled in respect of all Units.

(b)    Incentive Fee: Subject to the requirements of Section 852(a) of the Code, the Fund will make payments of the Incentive Fee and distributions out of two categories: Current Proceeds and Disposition Proceeds (collectively referred to as “Investment Proceeds”). Investment Proceeds shall be divided between and distributed to all Unitholders, on the one hand, and paid to the Investment Manager as an Incentive Fee, on the other hand, in the following amounts and order of priority:

(i)    Return of Capital Contributions. First, 100% to Unitholders until each Unitholder has received cumulative distributions of Investment Proceeds pursuant to this clause (i) equal to such Unitholder’s total Capital Contributions to the Fund (including amounts contributed to pay Management Fees, Administration Fees, Organizational Expenses and

5

other Fund Expenses). Amounts constituting Current Proceeds proceed to clause (ii) and are not returned under this clause (i);

(ii)    Unitholder Preferred Return. Second, 100% of all remaining Investment Proceeds to Unitholders until they have received cumulative distributions of Investment Proceeds, without duplication, pursuant to this clause (i) and clause (iv) below equal to a 6% per annum, compounded annually, on Unitholders’ unreturned capital contributions to the Fund (including amounts contributed to pay Management Fees, Administration Fees, Organizational Expenses and other Fund Expenses) (the “Preferred Return”);

(iii)    Investment Manager Catch Up to 15%. Third, 80% of all remaining Disposition Proceeds paid to the Investment Manager as an Incentive Fee until the Investment Manager has received payments of Investment Proceeds with respect to Unitholders pursuant to this clause (iii) and clause (ii) equal to 15% of the total amounts distributed to Unitholders and paid to the Investment Manager pursuant to clause ii) above and this clause (iii); and

(iv)    85%/15% Shares. Thereafter, 85% to Unitholders and 15% paid to the Investment Manager as an Incentive Fee.

In no event will the Investment Manager receive Disposition Proceeds that, as of any distribution date, exceeds 20% of cumulative realized capital gains net of all cumulative realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation.

The Investment Manager may also elect, at any time and from time to time, not to receive all or any portion of the incentive fee that would otherwise be distributed to it, and may cause any or all amounts subsequently available for distribution to the Unitholders to be distributed to the Investment Manager until it has received the same aggregate amount of incentive fees had it not previously waived receipt of incentive fees.

The Investment Manager, on behalf of the Fund, will be entitled to withhold from any distributions, in its discretion, any required tax withholdings. Amounts of taxes paid or withheld from amounts otherwise distributable to a Unitholder will be deemed distributed for purposes of the calculations above.

(c)    Clawback: In connection with, but in no event more than 30 days after, the liquidation of the Fund, the Investment Manager shall return to the Fund for distribution to the Unitholders if and to the extent that the Investment Manager has received cumulative incentive fees in excess of the incentive fees that would have been payable to the Investment Manager if the formulas set forth in Section 7(b) were applied on an aggregate basis covering all transactions of the Fund; provided, however, that in no event will the Investment Manager be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of 100% of the net amount distributed to the Investment Manager (net of taxes) on account of its incentive fees. In addition, as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of each fiscal year of the Fund, the Investment Manager shall apply an interim incentive fee adjustment so that, in the event of any over-distribution of incentive fee to the Investment Manager (measured with respect to each Unitholder using the fair value of the Company’s portfolio at the end of the applicable fiscal year as if the Fund were to liquidate on such date), future distributions that would, absent such interim incentive fee adjustment, otherwise be distributed to the Investment Manager as an incentive fee, shall be distributed to Unitholders until such over-distribution (net of taxes payable by the Investment Manager with respect to such incentive fee) has been eliminated.

6

(a)    The Investment Manager shall be responsible for the compensation of the Investment Manager Personnel responsible for the day-to-day investment management of the Fund as well as office rent and routine overhead costs of the Investment Manager.

(b)    The Investment Manager, Administrative Coordinator and/or any of their Affiliates may advance to the Fund any amounts necessary to pay the Fund’s Organizational Expenses. The Fund shall reimburse the Investment Manager and/or Administrative Coordinator, as applicable, for the Organizational Expenses advanced by the Investment Manager, Administrative Coordinator and/or any of their Affiliates in the manner specified in Section 8.1 of the LLC Agreement and in accordance with the limitations on such reimbursement therein, including: all of its fees, costs, expenses and liabilities, all investment-related fees, costs, expenses and liabilities (including with respect to amounts incurred prior to the initial closing) and all of its other operating fees, costs, expenses and liabilities, including all fees, due diligence costs and other fees, costs, expenses and liabilities related to the identification, sourcing, evaluation, pursuit, acquisition, holding, appraisals, asset management, restructuring and disposing of investments, including all reasonable travel-related fees, costs, expenses and liabilities, including lodging and meals, all fees, costs, expenses and liabilities of legal counsel and financial and other advisers incurred in connection therewith, all fees, costs, expenses and liabilities of information technology services relating to the ongoing management of investments, and all other investment-related fees, costs, expenses and liabilities (to the extent not reimbursed by the relevant portfolio company); all fees, costs, expenses and liabilities related to any audits or agreed upon procedures, tax forms and return preparations and filings, custodian fees and expenses, fund accounting, administrator services, financial statement preparation and reporting, web services for the benefit of Unitholders, delivery costs and expenses in connection with reporting obligations and communications and compliance services; all fees, costs, expenses and liabilities relating to insurance policies (including director and officer liability insurance) maintained by or for the Fund, including in respect of Portfolio Investments and/or SCP Persons; other administrative fees, costs, and liabilities; all fees, costs, expenses and liabilities of brokers, transaction finders and other intermediaries, including brokerage commissions and spreads, and all other transaction-related fees, costs, expenses and liabilities, including reverse break-up fees; all fees, costs, expenses and liabilities relating to derivatives and hedging transactions; all principal amounts of, and interest expense on, borrowings and guarantees, and all other fees, costs, expenses and liabilities arising out of borrowings and guarantees, including the arranging and maintenance thereof, whether incurred by the Fund or incurred or facilitated by a special purpose vehicle that makes Portfolio Investments; Management Fees; Administration Fees; all fees, costs, expenses and liabilities incurred through the use or engagement of Service Providers; all taxes, fees, penalties and other governmental charges levied against the Fund (other than such taxes, fees, penalties or other governmental charges resulting from or relating to an adjustment of the Fund’s income on audit and assumed by the Unitholders at the direction of the Investment Manager) and all fees, costs, expenses penalties and liabilities related to tax compliance; all fees, costs, expenses and liabilities of the Fund’s legal counsel related to extraordinary matters, including expenses for any dispute resolution (including litigation and regulatory-related legal expenses); all fees, costs, expenses and liabilities relating to legal and regulatory filings, including securities law filings relating to Portfolio Investments; all fees, costs, expenses and liabilities related to the Fund’s indemnification or contribution obligations; all fees, costs, expenses and liabilities for subscription services (to the extent such subscription is required by the general partner of the Access Fund); any required regulatory filings and related legal fees; all fees, costs, expenses and liabilities of liquidating the Fund; transfer agent services; any other fees, costs, expenses and liabilities not specifically assumed by the Investment Manager or the Administrative Coordinator. Excess Organizational Expenses or Operating Expenses to be borne by the Investment Manager and/or Administrative Coordinator pursuant to Section 8.1 of the LLC Agreement, if paid by the Fund, shall reduce the Management Fee and/or the Administration Fee, as applicable, payable as provided in Section 8.1 of the LLC Agreement.

(c)    The Fund bears any other fee, cost, expense or liability related to the Fund (whether related to its investments, operations or otherwise) and not specifically assumed by the Investment Manager,

7
