The Investor and any independent advisors engaged by such Investor have conducted their own analysis and due diligence to the full extent they have deemed such action necessary and, based upon such independent analysis and due diligence and on the Fund Documents, the Investor has made its own independent determination to subscribe for an Interest and become a Limited Partner. (b) The Investor has been provided an opportunity to obtain additional information concerning the Offering, the Fund, the Interests and/or all other information to the extent the General Partner possesses or can acquire such information without unreasonable effort or expense, and has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the General Partner concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering, the Fund, the Interests and any other matters pertaining thereto. (c) The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that the Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks associated with an investment in the Fund and is able to bear such risks, and has obtained, in the Investor's judgment, sufficient information from the General Partner to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Fund. The Investor has evaluated the risks of an investment in the Fund, understands there are significant risks of loss incidental to the purchase of an Interest and has determined that an Interest is a suitable and appropriate investment for the Investor.

The Investor represents and warrants to the Fund Parties that: (i) the Partnership Agreement constitutes an arm's-length contract between the Investor, the other Limited Partners and the General Partner; and (ii) the Investor fully understands the Performance Allocation and its risks, including the fact that the Performance Allocation may create an incentive for the General Partner, due to its relationship with its affiliate, to engage in more speculative investment activities than might be the case if only a Management Fee was charged. (g) The Investor understands that (i) past performance of the Fund, the General Partner or any of the principals is not necessarily indicative of the future performance or profitability of the Fund; (ii) no U.S. federal or state agency or authority has passed upon the Fund or the Interests or made any findings or determination as to the merits or fairness of an investment in the Fund; and (iii) the representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings and acknowledgements made by the Investor in, or in connection with, this Agreement, the Investor Profile, the Questionnaire, the AML Supplement and the Tax Forms will be relied upon by the Fund Parties and the Administrator in determining the Investor's eligibility as a purchaser of an Interest and the Fund Parties' compliance with applicable laws, and, if applicable, shall survive the Investor's admission as a Limited Partner. The representations, warranties and agreements made by the Investor in this Agreement, the Investor Profile, the Questionnaire, the AML Supplement and the Tax Forms are true, correct and complete in all respects as of the date set forth on the signature page to this Agreement and will continue to be true, correct and complete in all respects for as long as the Investor remains a Limited Partner. (h) The Investor has all requisite power, authority and capacity to acquire and hold an Interest, and to execute, deliver and comply with the terms and provisions of each of the documents and instruments required to be executed and delivered by the Investor in connection with the Investor's subscription for an Interest, including this Agreement, and such execution, delivery and compliance does not conflict with, or constitute a default under, any instruments governing the Investor, or violate any applicable law, regulation or order, or any agreement to which the Investor is a patty or by which the Investor is or may be bound. If the Investor is an entity or trust, the person executing and delivering this Agreement and any other documents or instruments on behalf of the Investor has all requisite power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver such documents and instruments, and, upon the General Partner's or the Administrator's request, will furnish to the General Partner or the Administrator true and correct copies of Investor's current governing documents or any other documents reasonably requested by the General Partner to establish such requisite power, authority and capacity. This Agreement constitutes and will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms. If the Investor lives in a community property state in the United States, either (i) the source of the Investor's Capital Contribution will be the Investor's separate property and the Investor will hold the Interest as its separate property, or (ii) the Investor has the authority alone to bind the community property with respect to this Agreement, the Partnership Agreement and all agreements contemplated hereby and thereby.
