I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The US healthcare sector, comprising 17% of US GDP, faces tremendous productivity challenges.
Driven by an aging population and the emergence of new, more expensive treatments, the rate of
growth of healthcare expenditures is unsustainable. Furthermore, healthcare lags other industries in
adopting technology-enabled process improvements and improving operational performance. These
dynamics create opportunities for new disruptive technologies aimed at increasing efficiency and
cutting cost.
Information technology (IT) applied to biology and medicine has the potential to drive a
technological revolution in the health care sector. This IT-bio-medecine revolution has similar
characteristics to the most transformative technological revolutions in history: linking of new and
old industries to create networks and transfonnative business models. This type of revolution
occurred with the advent of the steam engine, transforming the industrial revolution by carrying coal
and iron into the motive revolution of steam ships and railways. It happened again when cheap
microprocessors, which combined ubiquitous electricity and mass production, led us into the
information age. And it is now occurring as digital "big data" transforms health care and life
sciences.
In the healthcare and life sciences industries, the emerging digital big data revolution is being
stimulated by a number of new technologies:
low cost next-generation DNA sequencing
instruments, wearable data-generating sensors, and electronic medical records/provider clinical data.
Large amounts of data are being generated - and increasingly digitized - through payor activity
(claims), patient behavior/tracking and sentiment data. Furthermore, advances in IT, hardware and
software technology are increasing the ability to generate, store, visualize, analyze and apply these
data and changing how medicine is practiced.
This new wave of innovation creates investment opportunities with a more favorable investment
profile then the typical health care investment: less regulated, more capital efficient and with a
shorter time to commercialization. At the institutional level, we see opportunities to dramatically
reduce inefficiencies in the diagnosis, treatment and delivery of health care at the convergence of
molecular medicine, electronic sensor technology and communication platforms. On the other end
of the spectrum, the evolution of the technologies related to personalized medicine are creating
alternative channels to go direct to newly empowered patient/consumers. Finally, advances in drug
research and development will have major implications for patient diagnosis and treatment touching
all aspects of the health care sector. We are already seeing a wave of initial applications, products
and pioneering companies, some of which we have co-funded.
The DST Healthcare Fund (the "Fund") is not funding traditional drug, diagnostic and device
discovery and development opportunities. Instead, the Fund is focused on actively seeking out the
most interesting opportunities in a few strategic areas at the intersection of life science and digital
technology that are relevant to generation and application of big data to healthcare. In an
environment of healthcare reform requiring quality, affordable care, the DST Healthcare Fund will
invest in companies with transfommtive technologies and business models that create financial value
either through making healthcare more efficient and/or serving consumers directly.

II. MARKET OPPORTUNITY AND ENVIRONMENT
Lame and unsustainable healthcare spend in US
According to World Health Organization c. S7 trillion was spent on global health expenditure in
2011. At 10%+' this represents, one of the largest sectors of global GDP.
At $2.82 trillion, healthcare spend in Unites States is the largest globally and represents 172% of the
US GDP. Moreover, the expenditure on healthcare has grown significantly faster than GDP in 44 of
the 52 years since 1960. Healthcare expenditure cumulatively grew by 103x during that time period
vs. GDP growth of 30x.
VS Healthcare spend ($bn) and share of GDP 1%).
Despite a modest decline in healthcare spend growth rate in recent years, the level of healthcare
spend in US is unsustainable. According to CMS estimates, healthcare spend in US is expected to
grow at a CAGR of 6% to $5 trillion in 2022 and represent c. 20% of GDP.
According to a report published by the White House in 2009, US healthcare spend could be up to
34% of GDP by 2040.

The high levels of healthcare spending and its seemingly relentless growth are problematic for the
US. Public spending on healthcare—primarily through the Medicare and Medicaid programs—is
crowding out other state and national priorities, including education, social security, national
defense, and deficit eduction. High healthcare costs for private employers inhibits the hiring of
workers and puts upward pressure on the prices of goods and services. Private health care spending
has also taken a large bite out of the discretionary spending of US families, leaving the average
middle-income family worse off financially than a decade ago. This aapid growth in US healthcare
spending is attributable to numerous factors, including: an aging population, the prevalence of
chronic diseases, and the use of expensive advanced medical technology. Similar problems
associated with rising healthcare costs can be observed in other developed countries.
I neffecietteies in US Healthcare
The US spends more money on health than any other nation, whether measured in terms of spending
per capita or spending as a percentage of GDP. Mckinsey estimates that US spends $600bn (3.7% of
GDP) on healthcare, more than the expected benchmark for a nation of the US's size and wealth.

Potential of technology and big data in healthcare and life sciences
OECD 2011 data
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
EFTA00586861
We believe that technology and big data can play a major role in helping resolve some of the
inefficiencies in the US healthcare system. Other industries such as retail, banking, etc. have
successfully employed technology and big data to increase sales and reduce costs. The big data
opportunity is especially compelling in complex business environments experiencing an explosion in
the types and volumes of available data. In the healthcare and life sciences industries, data growth is
generated from several sources, including the R&D process itself, retailers, patients, and caregivers.
Oliver Wyman estimates that more than SI trillion in value will move from old to new healthcare
service models. MGI estimates that applying big data solutions could lead to $300-450 billion in
reduced health-care spending.
Emerging Trends leading to value creation potential
We believe that a few key trends will enable companies to build successful businesses by leveraging
technology and big data in healthcare and life sciences.
Costs and speed of DNA sequencing
The human Genome Project began in 1990 and took over 13 years and 53 billion to map the first
human genome. Since then there has been monumental imporovement in both speed as well as cost
of DNA sequencing. Today a human genome can be sequenced at 30x coverage in a day for SI,000.
The rise of molecular medicine is a classic technology-based transformation similar to the advent of
the digital information era. Advances in semiconductor technology drove down the cost of
computing, which allowed a growing number of users to apply powerful computing technology to
routine activities. The growing user base attracted more innovators to create applications and uses,
which then expanded the applicable user population yet again, creating a virtuous cycle. In the case
of DNA sequencing, technology improvements are occurring at an even faster rate.

Mckinsey estimates that genomics will have an economic impact of up to $1.6 trillion by 2025. Fast
and cheap DNA sequencing will lead to fundamental changes and revolution in disease diagnosis
and treatment, as well as drug discovery.
Afolecidar diagnostics
DNA sequencing enables a new disease taxonomy where diseases are characterized based on cell
biology rather than symptoms or point of origin. Molecular profiling based on this taxonomy will
allow for highly accurate and differentiated diagnostics. The sequencing-based molecular
diagnostics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 72% from 5511m in 2013 to 57.6bn in 20185.
Molecular profiling will also enable better risk prediction and prognosis. Genomics will have the
highest impact on cancer prediction and prognosis. Cancer is a disease that is driven entirely by
complex and highly individual DNA changes. Most current treatments are indiscriminate, extremely
costly, and often ineffective.

Personalised medicine
The practice of medicine will undergo a fundamental revolution in the next decade, becoming
increasingly more data and computation intensive. Ongoing research will lead to creatiuon of large
data sets linking molecular profile to diseases. Armed with this information as well as the patient's
DNA sequence, doctors will tailor treatments for individual patients based on their molecular
signature.
Although personalized medicine is in the early stages of development, impressive initial successes
have been reported, particularly in the field of cancer. More than 800 targeted therapies are either
available or in the pipeline to target cancer..

Wert Generation Drug Development
The use of molecular information will radically improve the efficiency and productivity of drug
discovery and development. As molecular information leads to better understanding of disease and
its progression, many more drug targets will arise. Meanwhile, using molecular information to select
patients for clinical trials should accelerate drug development timelines and improve the probability
of drug approval. Together, these changes will likely improve the return on invested capital of
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. At the same time, drugs will likely be increasingly
applicable to smaller subsets of diseases, improving their effectiveness but shrinking their
addressable markets. Drug companies will need to adapt their marketing strategies accordingly.
Novartis CEO Joe Jimenez called out the explosion in DNA sequencing as a driver for R&D
productivity "allowing new areas of discovery that have never been possible before." For example,
molecular strategies aided in the development of Gleevec, Novanis's blockbuster treatment for
certain forms of chronic myeloid leukemia with annual revenues of S4 billion.
Smart sensors and remote monitoring
Smart sensors allow for the collection and analysis of data for a number of areas such as health and
lifestyle management, early detection and diagnosis, disease monitoring and treatment adherence.
The use of data from remote monitoring systems can reduce patient in-hospital bed days, cut
emergency department visits, improve the targeting of nursing home care and outpatient physician
appointments, and reduce long-teen health complications and costs.
Several trends have converged leading to an expectation of explosive growth in remote monitoring
and other healthcare applications:
•
Increasing smanphone penetration: 148m people (62% of mobile phone users) in US owned
a smanphone as of November 20137. Increasing smanphone penetration has led to an
explosion in people both monitoring their healthlifestyle as well as accessing health-related
information on the go.
•
Technology advancements: Sensors are becoming smaller, affordable, and more accessible.
Material science has advanced to create wearable sensors that can take measurements
passively. Wireless communication allows data to be transmitted securely. Data storage is
cheap and secure. Increased computing power with cloud computing enables data analysis
and access to data globally.
•
Chronic diseases: An aging population has led to more than 130 million patients in the US
suffering from chronic diseases such as diabetes, congestive heart failure, and hypertension.
Treatment for such chronic diseases accounts for more than 75% of health system costs.
Remote patient monitoring systems can be highly useful for treating such patients.
Wireless health, including fitness as well as health-oriented devices and applications, is globally a

$8bn market in 2013 and expected to grow to S59bn by 20202. AIM research expects the market for
wearable health and fitness devices to grow from 30m in 2012 to 170m in 2017 .
Digital Health Platforms
Digitisation of medical and other health data has led to a proliferation of companies utilizing
technology and big data for better diagnosis, monitoring, efficient healthcare delivery, disease
management and treatment. At the same time, patients ability to access their own medical and health
data has led to emergence of business models targeting patients as consumers of healthcare services.
Government policy and reform is also emerging as an important driver for change. Some of the
policies adopted in the FIITECH act of 2009 are likely to play an important role in the creation of a
digital health ecosystem by accelerating the development of necessary healthcare IT infrastructure:
•
More than S17bn will be spent to incentivize hospitals and providers to use electronic health
records.
•
Another $2bn will be spent to support healthcare IT infrastructure as well as other training
and research.
More than 50% of doctor offices and 80% of hospitals now have electronic health records9.

Regulatory and reimbursement progress
Regulation and reimbursement will continue to be important drivers in the success of healthcare
companies. There is evidence to suggest that both FDA policies and insurance company policies are
evolving to support rather than hinder technology-based innovation in the healthcare space.
FDA has shown its support for technology-based innovation through various actions such as:
•
Granting de-novo 510(k) approval to Illumina's Miseq next generation sequencing platform

•
having extensive dialogue with industry on regulation of molecular tests while allowing
them to operate as LDTs
Several factors on the reimbursement front favor companies providing innovative healthcare
solutions:
•
Consumerization of healthcare as patients play an increasingly important role in their
treatment — 4328bn or 11.7% of the healthcare expenditure is paid out-of-pocket by patients
•
New models such as Accountable Care Organizations reward providers for positive patient
outcomes and incentivize them to use the most cost effective solutions

III. INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Philosophy
DST healthcare Fund will invest in companies at the intersection of life sciences and digital
technology. We believe that technology and big data can play a major role in helping resolve
inefficiencies in the healthcare system. The Fund does not plan on investing in traditional drug
discovery, diagnostic and device development companies.
Recent advances in DNA sequencing, sensor and communication technology and digitization of
health records create an opportunity to dramatically reduce inefficiencies in the diagnosis, treatment
and delivery of healthcare. Similar to other industries, the life sciences and healthcare sectors are
ready to be transformed by new business models enabled by disruptive technology. In an
environment of health care reform requiring quality, affordable care, the DST Healthcare Fund will
invest in companies with transfommtive technologies and business models that create financial value
either through making healthcare more efficient and/or serving consumers directly.
We seek superior risk-adjusted returns by targeting and investing in later stage companies with
proven technology and low regulatory and reimbursement risks. We seek to invest $10-15 million of
growth capital in companies and will target exits in the form of IPO or M&A in a 3-5 year
titnefraine.
Investment Criteria
The Fund typically looks for the following key characteristics in target companies before
considering an investment:
1. Strong CEO and Team
The primary and most important asset of a company is its people. In particular, strong and capable
leadership is essential for retention and motivation of key employees.
DST places considerable emphasis on the CEO and senior management team. We focus our analysis
on understanding the ability, background, integrity, underlying motivations and overall ambitions of
the CEO of any company in which we invest.
2. Significant and proven technology advantage within few well-defined strategic areas
We seek to invest in companies with transformational technology representing a new diagnostic or
therapeutic approach or innovative service delivery capabilities, rather than incremental
improvements to existing products or technologies. We invest in companies where the underlying
technology and its superiority has been established, rather than conceptual technologies.
3. Commercial or clear path to commercialisation
A large number of healthcare companies struggle with regulation and reimbursement which can have
significant negative impact on returns. We focus on companies that are already generating
commercial sales or have a clear path to commercialization with limited regulatory and

IV. INVESTMENT PROCESS
Deal Sourcine
Deal sourcing is a strategic focus for the Fund which includes identifying the right companies and
creating the opportunity to invest in them. We believe that access to the highest-quality and well-
differentiated deal flow is one of our key strengths.
Principals of the Fund have a unique set of long-standing relationships with leading entrepreneurs,
inventors, scientists & academicians, pharmaceutical and biotech company executives and
physicians.
We have strong relationships with entities such as public and global health
organizations, foundations, national scientific bodies and organizations, insurers and other corporate
payers. These networks not only provide access to the highest quality entrepreneurs and early stage
companies, but also provides unique insights for investment decisions. Our past experience of co-
investing and relationship-building with some of the top-tier venture investors will allow for joint
exposure to promising portfolio companies.
We receive insights and referrals from several unique sources including: founders of technology and
healthcare companies that we have invested in or know; Breakthrough Life Sciences Prize
recipients; DST technology investment team, and; entities associated with our anchor investor Bill
Gates, such as Bill Gates Ventures and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. We are in the process
of entering into an agreement with illumine, the leading DNA sequencing vendor globally, that
would provide us unique access to sequencing application start-ups that join their incubator program.
We receive inbound interest from inventors, company founders, management teams and
shareholders who are looking for high quality knowledgeable investors. Our intematiol network
brings together valuable flows of information, perspective on opportunities, and resources that is
highly benefecial to portfolio companies.
We research the target industry sectors extensively, and closely track private companies that fit our
investment criteria. We strive to maintain very close relationships with key decision makers for the
companies that we track.
Due Diligence
We apply a rigorous due diligence process to each potential investment as we believe that detailed
and well executed due diligence of critical risks is key to investment success.
We believe that the complementary skillsets and backgrounds of the Principals will allow for the
identification of critical issues and risks. We work closely with our network of founders, scientists
& academicians, pharmaceutical and biotech company executives and physicians to evaluate
investment opportunities.
In our due diligence process, we emphasize understanding and evaluating the following:
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
13
EFTA00586869
1) Management: We place key emphasis on the quality of people. We believe that a strong and
experienced management team is key to the success of a company. We spend considerable
time and energy on referencing management. We are biased toward portfolio company teams
with whom we have previous experience.
2) Underlying science and technology:
We spend considerable time understanding the
underlying science of the potential investment and the resulting technical advantage. We
reach out to our extensive network of science and domain experts to better understand the
technology advantage and risks. [Where needed we will also enagage consultants to help us
evaluate the underlying science and technology)
3) Market potential, business model and competition: We leverage our network of experts to
understand and test the market potential, the company's business model, and its ability to
capture the market. We perform extensive research into the size and growth prospects of a
company's target market and conduct extensive interviews with existing or potential
customers to understand their perspective. Given our extensive network, we can often also
speak to most of the competitors in a particular space before deciding upon an investment. In
order to evaluate threats front existing or new competition
4) Intellectual Property: We engage experienced attorneys in specific fields to validate freedom-
to-operate, validate exclusivity position and identifying blocking IP.
The investment team will discuss potential investments on a weekly basis to enable various team
members to provide input on direction of diligence and raise potential concerns. While each
prospective investment will be led by one of the Principals, no potential investment will proceed to
in-depth due diligence without all Principals having met the key management team to help evaluate
the quality of people.
Once due diligence has been satisfactorily completed, the investment opportunity will be submitted
for approval of the Investment Committee of the General Partner. The Investment Committee is
expected to meet on an ad-hoc basis when required to discuss a potential investment opportunity.
The Investment Committee will make the detemtination on all investments. While we will strive for
consensus in the Investment Committee, a transaction can be approved by any two Principals unless
one of the Principals decide to veto based on a strong objection.
Portfolio Management
The Fund will actively engags in frequent dialogue with top management of our portfolio
companies. We have historically dedicated, and expect to continue to dedicate, time to develop deep
relationships with key decision makers in our portfolio companies.
Our portfolio companies also appreciate our previous experience in investing and monitoring the
industry, as well as our strong connections globally. Where appropriate, we provide advice and
introductions to our portfolio companies.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
14
EFTA00586870
We typically take a Board Observer seat and/or ask for regular updates on business progress from
our portfolio companies. Our Board participation, regular updates and active monitoring of other
available information regarding our portfolio companies and their competitors allow us to remain
up-to-date on the growth and competitive environment of our investments.
We will seek to increase our stake in a portfolio company if the asset is performing at or above our
expectations, and if the valuation is consistent with our return expectations.
Our strategy for exiting an investment is expected to be an IPO or sale to a strategic buyer. In case
we receive public securities in an IPO, the Investment Committee will decide on timing of their sale
or distribution.

the General Partner nor any Principal shall invest on behalf of another
limited partnership with the same investment objectives as the Fund
until the earlier of (a) the termination of the Investment Period, (b) the
date on which at least 70% of the Fund's capital commitments have
been invested, expended, committed and reserved for future investments
in existing Portfolio Companies and for reasonably anticipated Fund
expenses, and (c) the dissolution of the Fund; provided that this
limitation shall not apply to any Parallel Funds, any co-investment
vehicle, holding company or other special purpose vehicle organized
solely for the purpose of facilitating a portfolio investment, or
subsequent closings of Other Funds (defined as any other investment
funds, whether currently existing or formed in the future without
violation of the Partnership Agreement, in which the General Partner
plays a principal investment management role) for the purpose of
follow-on investments.
The General Partner may form one or more limited partnerships or other
investment vehicles or investment advisory programs to invest in
parallel with the Fund (each a "Parallel Fund") in order to comply with
securities laws or to address tax, legal, regulatory, policy, investment
restriction or similar issues of investors. Except (i) where restricted or
prohibited by law, rule, regulation, policy or other applicable restriction,
or (ii) where the potential returns to investors in the Fund or a Parallel
Fund would be unattractive due to tax, legal, regulatory, policy, or other
considerations, each Parallel Fund shall invest in every investment
made by the Fund (other than short-terin investments) at the same time
and on substantially the same terms as the Fund.
From the initial closing of the Fund until the earlier of (a) the end of the
Investment Period; and (b) such time after the Final Closing Date as the
Fund is Fully Invested, investment opportunities appropriate for the
Fund will be offered first to the Fund and any Parallel Funds (and
among them based on their relative capital commitments). Provided
however that (a) any investment opportunity in excess of what the
General Partner determines is appropriate for the Fund may be offered
to third-party co-investors, directly or through co-investment vehicles in
which GP-Related Persons and/or Other Funds may participate,
provided that such co-investment must be made at the same time with,
and on substantially the same terms as the Fund, (b) the General Partner
may determine to allocate an investment between the Fund and a

Partner determines to be reasonable under the circumstances or (3) a
Prinicpal may need not offer to the Fund any investment opportunity in
entities in which the Principal has an investment interest which was
acquired prior to the Initial Closing.
Reports and Meetings Limited Partners will receive quarterly unaudited summary financial
information as well as annual audited financial statements of the Fund.
In addition, each Limited Partner will be provided annually an IRS

requested by such Limited Partner as necessary for the completion of
federal income tax returns.
Legal Counsel

VIII. CERTAIN INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS AND RISK FACTORS
[NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED AND ADAPTED FOR THE HEALTHCARE FUND)
An investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk, and is suitable only for Investors of
substantial means who have no immediate need for liquidity of the amount invested and who can
afford a risk of foss of all or a substantial part of such investment. In addition to factors set forth
elsewhere in this Memorandum, prospective Investors should carefully consider the foliating.
Risks Associated with Portfolio Investments
Identifying and participating in attractive investment opportunities and assisting in the success of
Internet companies is difficult. There is no assurance that the Fund's investments will be profitable
and there is a substantial risk that the Fund's losses and expenses will exceed its income and gains.
Any return on investment to the Limited Partners will depend upon successful investments made on
behalf of the Fund by the General Partner. There generally will be little or no publicly available
information regarding the status and prospects of portfolio companies. Many investment decisions
by the General Partner will be dependent upon the ability of the Fund's investment team (the "DST
Team") to obtain relevant information from non-public sources, and the General Partner often will
be required to make decisions without complete information or in reliance upon information
provided by third parties that is impossible or impracticable to verify. The marketability and value
of each investment will depend upon many factors beyond the General Partner's control. Typically,
the Fund will hold minority positions in portfolio companies or acquire securities that are
subordinated vis-à-vis other securities as to economic, management or other attributes. Specifically,
the Fund may invest in common or "ordinary" shares instead of preferred shares of a company
(which would be typical of other venture capital and private equity funds) and therefore the Fund
may not have a "liquidation preference" that would otherwise provide downside price protection for
the Fund's investment. Portfolio companies will generally have limited histories of operations and
may have substantial variations in operating results from period to period, face intense domestic and
international competition, and experience failures or substantial declines in value at any stage. Such
companies may have a history of operating losses and may not be able to operate profitably or
sustain positive cash flow in future periods. Portfolio companies may need substantial additional
capital to support growth or to achieve or maintain a competitive position. Such capital may not be
available on attractive terms. The Fund's investment in such companies may be diluted in multiple
rounds of portfolio company financing, either because the Fund's capital is limited or because the
Fund's investment concentration limits have been met. Until an IPO, the Fund will be limited in its
ability to transfer securities in a private company or otherwise monetize its investment because of
legal and contractual transfer restrictions. The public market for Internet companies is extremely
volatile. Such volatility may adversely affect the development of portfolio companies, the ability of
the Fund to dispose of investments, even after an IPO, and the value of investment securities on the
date of sale or distribution by the Fund. In particular, the receptiveness of the public market to IPOs
by the Fund's portfolio companies may vary dramatically from period to period. An otherwise
successful portfolio company may yield poor investment returns if it is unable to consummate an
IPO at the proper time. Even if a portfolio company effects a successful public offering, the Fund or
the portfolio company's securities typically will be subject to contractual "lock-up," securities laws
or other restrictions which may, for a material period of time, prevent the Fund or the Limited
Partners from disposing of such securities. Similarly, the receptiveness of potential acquirors to the
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
30
EFTA00586886
Fund's portfolio companies will vary over time and, even if a portfolio company investment is
disposed of via a merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the Fund's stock, security or other
interests in the surviving entity may not be marketable. There can be no guarantee that any portfolio
company investment will result in a liquidity event via public offering, merger, acquisition or
otherwise, and there is a significant risk that the Fund's investments will yield little or no return.
Generally, the investments made by the Fund will be illiquid and difficult to value, and there will be
little or no collateral to protect an investment once made. At the time of the Fund's investment, a
portfolio company may lack one or more key attributes necessary for success. Many or most of the
Fund's portfolio companies will be dependent for their success upon the development,
implementation, marketing and customer acceptance of new Internet business models that can be
rendered obsolete or otherwise unattractive at any time. In most cases, investments will be long term
in nature and may require many years from the date of initial investment before disposition. It is
likely that the Fund will still hold some illiquid securities at the time of the Fund's dissolution, with
the result that such securities may be distributed in-kind or sold for a price that reflects their illiquid
nature.
Risks Related to the Fund's Investment Pipeline
DST has a current pipeline of potential investments that may be suitable for the Fund and that are in
various stages of examination, due diligence review and negotiation (together, the "Pipeline Deals").
Notwithstanding the Fund's expectations with regard to the Pipeline Deals, until binding transaction
agreements are signed for such investments and the transactions close, there can be no assurance that
any Pipeline Deal will become an investment of the Fund. It is the General Partner's experience that
investments currently being examined (or even investments not currently under consideration) can
proceed at an extremely fast pace. Consequently, investors may be required to make capital
contributions equal to some or all of their total Capital Commitment soon after their admission into
the Fund, and because of the blind pool nature of the Fund and as further described below, other than
as provided in this Memorandum and any supplement hereto, no additional information will be
provided to potential investors or Limited Partners of the Fund about any such investments.
Although it is anticipated that by the Fund's Final Closing Date no Pipeline Deal will exceed the
Fund's concentration limits, there can be no assurance that any further fundraising efforts by the
Fund will be successful. Because of the potential for high concentration of investments, a loss with
respect to even one investment may have a significant impact on the returns of the Fund as a whole.
Each of the Pipeline Deals is subject to the risks described elsewhere in this Section VIII. Without
limiting the foregoing, see: — Risks Associated with Portfolio Investments,
— Changes in
Environment, — Conflicts of Interest, — Relationship with General Partner Affiliates, — Limited
or No Control over Portfolio Companies, and — Limited Access to Information.
Because prospective investors in the Fund are not being provided with the identity or certain other
information (including industry segment, valuation and financial information) of the Pipeline Deal
companies, investors will not have the opportunity to conduct any of their own due diligence or
investment analysis with respect to that investment. Investors will be making an investment decision
to invest in the Fund (and to participate indirectly in any Pipeline Deal that is completed by the
Fund) without such information and analysis, recognizing that the performance of the Pipeline Deal
company could have a material impact on the performance of the Fund.

EFTA00586887
Risks Related to Investments in Emerging Countries
The Fund may invest in companies based in emerging countries such as China and India that have
legal and regulatory environments that are significantly different from those of the United States or
western Europe. Specifically, investments in such companies may be subject to (i) economic,
market, political and local risks related to the governmental systems in such countries, (ii) the risk of
nationalization, expropriation, or confiscation of company property by the government; (iii) the risk
that future company growth may be limited because the emergence of a domestic consumer class is
still at an early stage and because of the country's heavy dependence on exports; and (iv) the risk
that legal judgments may be more difficult to obtain and/or enforce because the country's legal
system is still developing. See also risks related to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, —
Functional Currency, below.
Risks Related to Co-Investment
The Fund may invest in companies in which DSTG I, DSTG II or other entities affiliated with DST
have a pre-existing interest. Approval of the Investor Advisory Committee will be required for the
Fund to invest in any company in which any one or more GP-Related Persons, Other Funds, DST
special purpose investment vehicles or certain substantial DST investors has invested more than
SI million dollars, valued at cost for all such DST-related investors. Since such earlier investments
may have been made at prices and on terms different front those of the Fund's investment, conflicts
of interest may arise for the General Partner related to such investments. For example, it is possible
that future transactions could arise that are beneficial to the holders of the earlier investments but not
to the Fund. The General Partner will seek to resolve such conflicts in a way that is fair to all
panics, but there can be no assurance that such conflicts will be resolved in a manner that is most
favorable to the Fund and its Partners.
The General Partner may also offer certain significant Limited Partners, existing investors in Other
Funds, co-investment vehicles in which GP-Related Persons (including the Key Man) and/or Other
funds may participate, or third parties of strategic commercial importance the opportunity to co-
invest with the Fund, provided that such co-investment must be made at the same time with, and on
substantially the same terms as the Fund. Such co-investments will only benefit those participating
co-investors, and not all of the Partners, and there is a potential for additional conflicts of interest
between the Fund and such co-investors since they may have diverging interests.
If the Fund co-invests with other entities affiliated with DST or GP-Related Persons, DST intends to
treat them similarly to the extent practicable. However, there can be no assurance that the Fund and
such other investors will always be treated the same. For example, if there is an opportunity to
dispose of an investment in a company, and that opportunity is not large enough to permit the Fund
and those of all other DST-related investors to dispose of all of their investments in that company,
then DST may, in its discretion, permit other DST-related investors to dispose of their investments
first, on a first-in, first-out basis, before the Fund would be permitted to dispose of its investment.
There can be no guarantee that, in such circumstance, the Fund will subsequently be able to dispose
of its investment as profitably as those other investors, or even avoid a loss.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
32
EFTA00586888
Risks Associated with Use of Cayman Islands Fund Entity
The Fund is being organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, which differ in significant
respects from U.S. law and the laws of other jurisdictions. In particular, certain provisions of the
Fund's Partnership Agreement (e.g., penalty provisions) that would be enforceable under Delaware
law may not be enforceable under the laws of Cayman Islands. Any failure of enforceability of the
Fund's Partnership Agreement could be disruptive to the smooth operation of the Fund or otherwise
frustrate the expectations of the Partners.
Long-Term Investment
An investment in the Fund is a long-term commitment and there is no assurance of any distribution
to the Limited Partners.
Limited Transferability of Interests
The Fund's Partnership Agreement and applicable securities laws will impose substantial restrictions
upon the transferability of Fund interests. A Limited Partner's interest in the Fund generally may be
transferred only with the consent of the General Partner, except for transfer to family members and
wholly-owned affiliates. Transferees will be bound by all applicable provisions of the Partnership
Agreement including, without limitation, provisions governing the transfer of Fund interests. There
is no public or other market for Fund interests and it is not expected that such a market will develop.
Withdrawals
Except for the mandatory withdrawals for legal reasons, a Limited Partner will not be permitted to
withdraw from the Fund or otherwise cease to be a Limited Partner without the consent of the
General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in the General Partner's sole and
absolute discretion. The General Partner may require a Limited Partner to withdraw in whole or in
part under circumstances set forth in the Partnership Agreement, such as if: (i) the Limited Partner
has used or disclosed information in violation of the Partnership Agreement; or (ii) the General
Partner determines in its reasonable discretion that continued undiminished membership of the
Limited Partner in the Fund would (x) constitute or give rise to a violation of applicable law or (y)
otherwise subject the Fund or the General Partner to material onerous legal, tax or other regulatory
requirements that cannot reasonably be avoided.
Upon withdrawal of a Limited Partner, the General Partner, in its sole discretion. may liquidate the
withdrawing Limited Partner's Fund interest by: (i) causing the Fund to distribute to the withdrawing
Limited Partner, in cash or in kind, or by means of a promissory note, a redemption amount equal to
the withdrawing Limited Partner's capital account balance (amounts payable in kind generally will
be paid ratably in proportion to the value of each security held by the Fund and may be paid by
designating restricted securities to be distributed on a delayed basis); or (ii) selling the withdrawing
Limited Partner's Fund interest and remitting the proceeds to such withdrawing Limited Partner.
Competition
The business of investing in Internet companies is highly competitive, and has become more so in
recent years due to a substantially increased flow of capital into venture capital and private equity
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
33
EFTA00586889
funds and similar investment organizations targeting "social media" companies. The Fund and the
General Partner will be competing with other new and established funds and investment
organizations with more substantial resources and experience. Moreover, the volume of attractive
investment opportunities varies greatly from period to period. There can be no assurance that the
Fund will be able to make investments on attractive terms, and it is possible that the Fund's term will
expire before the Fund has invested all of its available capital.
Changes in Ein iron men t
The Fund's investment program is intended to extend over a period of years, during which the
business, economic, political, regulatory, and technology environment within which the Fund
operates is expected to undergo substantial changes, some of which may be adverse to the Fund.
The General Partner will have the exclusive right and authority (within limitations set forth in the
Fund's Partnership Agreement) to determine the manner in which the Fund shall respond to such
changes, and Limited Partners will have no right to withdraw from the Fund or to demand specific
modifications to the Fund's operations in consequence thereof.
Prospective Investors are
particularly cautioned that the investment sourcing, selection, management and liquidation strategies
and procedures exercised by the DST Team in the past may not be successful, or even practicable,
during the Fund's term. Within the limitations set forth in the Fund's Partnership Agreement, the
General Partner will have the right and authority to cause the Fund's investment sourcing, selection,
management and liquidation strategies and procedures to deviate from those described in this
Memorandum.
Reliance on Individual Members of the DST Team
The Fund will be particularly dependent upon the efforts, experience, contacts and skills of Yuri
Milner and the other individual members of the DST Team. The loss of any such individual could
have a material, adverse effect on the Fund, and such loss could occur at any time due to death,
disability, resignation or other reasons. Moreover, the members of the DST Team will not be
required to devote their time and attention exclusively to the Fund. Additional persons may be
admitted to the DST Team following the Fund's initial closing and the Limited Partners will have no
control over that decision. The Limited Partners will not be permitted to evaluate investment
opportunities or relevant business, economic, financial or other information that will be used by the
General Partner in making decisions. Except as specifically provided in the Partnership Agreement,
the General Partner will have the exclusive right and power to manage the Fund's business and
affairs.
Limited Fund Management Experience of DST Team
Some or all of the members of the DST Team may lack substantial prior experience managing an
investment fund such as the Fund and/or working with other DST Team members. There can be no
assurance that their experience in making investments through other vehicles will result is
satisfactory returns for the Fund.
Any prior experience that members of the DST Team may have in making investments of the type
expected to be made by the Fund necessarily was obtained under different market conditions and
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
34
EFTA00586890
with different technologies at the forefront of development. There can be no assurance that the DST
Team will be able to duplicate prior levels of success.
The General Partner may appoint or admit certain persons to advisory or other committees or boards
intended to assist the General Partner by providing advice, industry contacts, deal flow, technical
expertise or other benefits. Under most circumstances, such persons will have no contractual or
other obligation to continue as members of such committees or boards or to provide any particular
benefits. In evaluating an investment in the Fund, prospective Investors should not depend upon any
specific benefits accruing to the General Partner or the Fund in respect of any such advisory or other
committees or boards or the members thereof.
Individuals that are members of the DST Team may actually conduct their affairs (including, without
limitation, their participation in the General Partner or the Advisory Company) through one or more
wealth management, estate planning, tax planning, liability limiting or regulatory compliance
entities. The use of such entities may, among other potential consequences, limit the ability of the
Limited Partners to obtain direct recourse against such individuals in the case of breach of any duty
or obligation.
DST is Not a Unitary Enterprise
"DST" is defined broadly in this Memorandum as the parties and entities related to DST Advisors
Limited and its affiliates, which provided advisory services to Mail.ru Group up until its IPO in
November 2010 and DST Global Advisors Limited and its affiliates, which provides advisory
services to DSTG I and DSTG II. Prospective Investors are cautioned that DST is not a unitary
enterprise, but rather is a collection of related individuals and entities partially bound together by
overlapping interests, activities and branding. Mile it is anticipated that the Fund will derive some
degree of benefit from being part of the DST family of entities, prospective Investors must not rely
upon any specific benefits and must not assume that any such benefits as do arise will have a
material impact upon the Fund's performance.
Reliance on Third Parties
The General Partner and the Fund will require, and rely upon, the services of a variety of third
parties, including but not limited to attorneys, accountants, brokers, custodians, consultants and other
agents. Failure by any of these third parties to perform their duties or otherwise satisfy their
obligations to the Fund could have a material adverse effect upon the Fund.
Limited Partner Defaults
Limited Partners generally will not contribute the full amount of their capital commitments to the
Fund at the time of their admission to the Fund. Instead, they will be required to make incremental
contributions pursuant to capital calls issued by the General Partner from time to time, on ten (10)
calendar days prior written notice. If a Limited Partner fails to satisfy any capital call on a timely
basis, the General Partner may elect to cause the defaulting Partner to forfeit 50% of the defaulting
Partner's then existing capital account balance. The General Partner may, in the altemative, offer
the defaulting Partner's interest to the non-defaulting Limited Partners at a purchase price equal to
50% of the defaulting Partner's then existing capital account balance. The General Partner may also
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
35
EFTA00586891
pursue any available legal or equitable remedies, with the expenses of collection of the unpaid
amount, including attorneys' fees, to be paid by the defaulting Partner.
Nevertheless, Limited Partners may default upon capital calls for a variety of reasons including their
own insolvency, bankruptcy or subjective determination that default is more attractive than
compliance. In addition, under certain circumstances, some Limited Partners may be excused from
making capital contributions under the terms of the Fund's Partnership Agreement or applicable law.
Any failure by Limited Partners to make timely capital contributions in respect of their capital
commitments may impair the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment program, force the Fund to
borrow, or cause other damage. Non-defaulting Limited Partners may be required to contribute
relatively more to the Fund upon such a default than they would otherwise, but subject always to the
maximum amount of their Capital Commitments.
Resents
In managing the Fund, the General Partner may establish reserves for operating expenses (including
Management Fees payable to the General Partner), Fund liabilities, and other matters. The General
Partner will not make any capital calls for follow-on investments after the end of the Investment
Period. Estimating the amount necessary for such reserves will be difficult, particularly because
follow-on investment opportunities will be directly tied to the success and capital needs of portfolio
companies. As set forth in the Fund's Partnership Agreement, the General Partner's authority to
cause the Fund to borrow will be strictly limited, which may result in the reserve amount being
incorrect. Inadequate or excessive reserves could have a material adverse effect upon the investment
returns to the Limited Partners. For example, if reserves are inadequate, the Fund may be unable to
take advantage of attractive follow-on or other investment opportunities or to protect its existing
investments front dilution. If reserves are excessive, the Fund may decline attractive investment
opportunities or hold unnecessary amounts of capital in money market or similar low-yield accounts.
Dilution
Following the Fund's initial closing, the General Partner will be authorized to admit additional
Limited Partners (or accept increased capital commitments from existing Limited Partners) until the
Final Closing Date.
Generally, for purposes of allocating Fund profit and loss, all capital
commitments made prior to the Final Closing Date will be treated as if made at the Fund's initial
closing.
Conflicts of Interest
The Fund will be subject to various potential conflicts of interest. For example, members of the
DST Team may receive directors fees or similar compensation from portfolio companies of the
Fund. As set forth in the Fund's Partnership Agreement, the members of the DST Team will be
permitted to manage other investment funds and similar vehicles during the Fund's term, any of
which may compete with the Fund for investment opportunities (subject to the exclusivity provision
of the Fund as summarized in Section VII — Summary of Principal Terms of the Fund above),
management time and attention, or otherwise. Under certain circumstances. the Fund may invest in
companies in which members of the DST Team have a pre-existing interest. Provisions contained
within the Fund's Partnership Agreement that authorize the General Partner and members of the
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
36
EFTA00586892
DST Team to engage in investment. management or other activities separate and apart from, or
alongside with, the Fund, or to cause the Fund to make investments in respect of which members of
the DST Team have conflicting interests, will override common law and statutory fiduciary duties
that would apply in the absence of such provisions. The Fund's Partnership Agreement will contain
certain protections for Limited Partners against conflicts of interest faced by the General Partner and
DST Team members, but will not purport to address all types of conflicts that may arise. Moreover,
as a practical matter, it may be difficult for Limited Partners to subject the behavior of the General
Partner and the members of the DST Team to close scrutiny.
Under the Partnership Agreement, certain transactions that involve conflicts of interest between the
General Partner and the Fund may be submitted to the Investor Advisory Committee for resolution.
However, the Investor Advisory Committee will not necessarily represent the interests of all the
Limited Partners and the members of the Investor Advisory Committee may themselves be subject to
various conflicts of interest (including as investors in other entities related to DST Team members or
as participants in other investments giving rise to interests that are adverse to the Fund or other
Limited Partners). In general, the Limited Partners will not be entitled to control the selection of
Investor Advisory Committee members or to review the actions or deliberations of the Investor
Advisory Committee.
During the Fund's term, many different types of conflicts of interest may arise and this
Memorandum does not purport to identify all such conflicts. Limited Partners ultimately will be
heavily dependent upon the good faith of the General Partner and the members of the DST Team.
Risks relating to conflicts of interest are not limited to conflicts affecting the General Partner or
members of the DST Team. The Limited Partners are expected to have widely differing interests on
a variety of tax, regulatory, business, investment profile and other issues. Certain significant
investors in the Fund have previously invested with the DST Team through DSTG I, DSTG II and
other vehicles. As result such investors may have interests that are more allied with the General
Partner than other Limited Partners. Such factors, among others, may give rise to a number of risks
that the Limited Partners as a group will not act in a manner consistent with the best interests of the
Limited Partners as a group or the best interests of the Fund itself. For example, a Limited Partner
may decline to provide its consent to an action by the Fund or the General Partner due to goals or
incentives that are unique to such Limited Partner and in conflict with the interests of the Fund or
other Limited Partners.
Placement Agents
The General Partner has agreed to compensate one placement agent with respect to certain investors,
and in the future may agree to compensate one or more third parties facilitating investments in the
Fund. Such compensation to a placement agent or such third parties ("Placement Fee") will initially
be paid by the Fund and recaptured by the Fund through subsequent offsets against the Management
Fee or Carried Interest distributions received by the General Partner. Such Placement Fees may be
based on the capital commitments of the Limited Partners and investment representatives of a
placement agent or such third parties will have an incentive to recommend the Fund interests to
prospective investors. Employees of a placement agent or such third parties may be directly
compensated based on an investor's decision to invest in the Fund interests.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
37
EFTA00586893
The Fund generally will be primarily responsible for paying a Placement Fee, but any payment of
Placement Fee by the Fund will cause a corresponding reduction of Management Fee or Carried
Interest distributions otherwise payable to the General Partner. In the event there is insufficient
Management Fee or Carried Interest distributions to offset and the General Partner or one of its
affiliates does not pay the Placement Fee, the Fund and therefore investors may bear the cost of such
Placement Fee. To the extent that, with respect to a particular investor, there are legal or regulatory
restrictions applicable to such investor on paying the Placement Fee in this manner, if such investor
has notified the General Partner of such restrictions on or prior to the date that such investor submits
its subscription agreement, then the General Partner may pay the Placement Fee in respect of such
investor directly (rather than through an offset of the Management Fee or Carried Interest
distributions), and the Fund interest of such investor will specifically not be charged with any
payment of the Placement Fos by the Fund.
The Fund will indemnify and hold harmless each such placement agent or third party, its affiliates
and any agent against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint
or several, to which such placement agent or third party may become subject.
If a Placement Fee is payable with respect to a potential investor, such investor may receive
additional disclosures about the placement agent or third party facilitating investments in the fund
and the arrangements with such placement agent or third party in a supplement to this Memorandum.
Relationship with General Partner Affiliates
While it is the general intention of the General Partner that investment opportunities will be
apportioned among the Fund and other clients and investment funds affiliated with the General
Partner on a fair and reasonable basis, there is no assurance that the Fund will be offered any specific
investment opportunities that come to the attention of the General Partner or that the Fund will be
permitted to invest the full amount it desires to invest in any such opportunity that is made available.
In many cases, the apportionment of investment opportunities among affiliates of the General
Partner will be subject to the General Partner's discretion.
Economic Interest of General Partner
Because the percentage of profits distributed to the General Partner will exceed the capital
contribution percentage of the General Partner, the General Partner may have an incentive to make
investments that are riskier or more speculative than if the General Partner received allocations on a
basis identical to that of the Limited Partners or were compensated on a basis not tied to the
performance of the Fund.
Side Agreements
In accordance with common industry practice, the General Partner may enter into one or more "side
letters" or similar agreements with certain Limited Partners pursuant to which the General Partner
grants to such Limited Partners specific rights, benefits or privileges that are not made available to
Limited Partners generally. Such side letters may grant certain Limited Partners economic and other
terms that are substantially more favorable than those granted to other Limited Partners.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
38
EFTA00586894
Capital Calls
Capital calls will be issued by the Fund from time to time, on ten (10) calendar days notice, at the
discretion of the General Partner, based upon the General Partner's assessment of the needs and
opportunities of the Fund. To satisfy such calls, Limited Partners may need to maintain a substantial
portion of their capital commitments in assets that can be readily converted to cash. Except as
specifically set forth in the Fund's Partnership Agreement, each Limited Partner's obligation to
satisfy capital calls will be unconditional. Without limitation on the preceding sentence, a Limited
Partner's obligation to satisfy capital calls will not in any manner be contingent upon the
performance or prospects of the Fund or upon any assessment thereof provided by the General
Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner will not be obligated to call 100% of
the Limited Partners' capital commitments during the Fund's term.
Distributions in Kind
Although the General Partner intends to distribute cash rather than marketable securities, the Fund
may from time to time distribute portfolio company securities to the Partners. Except as specifically
provided in the Fund's Partnership Agreement, such distributions will be made solely at the
discretion of the General Partner.
Distributed securities may be subject to a variety of legal or practical limitations on sale. In
particular, immediately following a distribution of securities, trading volume may be insufficient to
support sales by the Partners without such sales triggering a price decline which makes it difficult or
impossible for all Partners to sell such securities at the distribution price. Nevertheless, the
distribution price of such securities will be established under the provisions of the Fund's
Partnership Agreement and will not be adjusted to reflect actual sale prices obtained by the Partners.
No Assurance of Confidentiality
As part of the subscription process and otherwise in their capacity as Limited Partners, Investors will
provide significant amounts of information about themselves to the General Partner and the Fund.
Under the terms of the Fund's Partnership Agreement as well as applicable laws, such infomtation
may be made available to other Limited Partners, third parties that have dealings with the Fund, and
governmental authorities (including by means of srxurities laws-required information statements that
are open to public inspection).
Concentration of Investments
The Fund's portfolio will be concentrated in a limited number of companies in the Internet sector,
increasing the vulnerability of the portfolio as compared with a portfolio that is more diversified
over a larger number of companies and industries. Moreover, as few as two investments can
comprise almost half the Fund's portfolio, thus further increasing the risks associated with a
concentrated investment pool.
Functional Current
The functional currency of the Fund will be U.S. dollars. Capital commitments of the Partners.

dollars. An Investor whose functional currency is not U.S. dollars will bear substantial risks
associated with fluctuating currency exchange rates, particularly with regard to capital contributions
that may not become due for several years. The Fund may make investments denominated in
currencies other than the dollar, in which case the Fund's investment will be subject to risks
associated with fluctuating currency exchange rates, which the Fund may or may not seek to hedge
against.
Kev Individuals ]lac Be Based Outside of Investor's Home Jurisdiction
Certain of the members of the DST Team may reside outside the home jurisdiction of an Investor
and have a substantial portion of their assets outside that jurisdiction. Therefore, it may be difficult
to serve process or subpoenas or enforce a judgment obtained in that jurisdiction against those
persons.
Limited or No Control over Portfolio Companies
The General Partner generally will not seek control over the management of the portfolio companies
in which the Fund invests, and the success of each investment generally will dvend on the ability,
expertise and success of the company founder(s) and other senior management of the portfolio
company. The Fund will almost always invest in companies in which other private investment funds
have made equity investments. Unlike many private investment funds, the Fund typically will not
have the right to designate a member of the board of directors of its portfolio companies, with the
result that other investors are expected to have more influence in decisions made by and affecting
portfolio companies. In some instances, the Fund will grant a proxy to vote its securities to portfolio
company founders or chief executive officers. The mere fact that the General Partner disagrees with
decisions made by other investors in a portfolio company likely will not trigger any particular ability
of the Fund to dispose of its investment in such portfolio company, with the result that the value of
the Fund's investment in a portfolio company may be materially impacted by the decisions of other
investors. The Fund's portfolio companies will face a number of business challenges, risks and
uncertainties, with respect to which the Fund will be entirely dependent on company management.
See — Risks Associated with Portfolio Investments, above. For example, the Fund will be
dependent on company management to: establish and build partnerships with third parties, such as
content providers and third-party distribution channels, attract and retain skilled employes, and
expand into foreign markets in order to continue the company's growth.
Material Non-Public Information
By virtue of the Fund's status as a significant shareholder of a portfolio company, members of the
DST Team may become subject to duties which adversely affect the Fund. For example, the Fund
may be unable to sell or otherwise dispose of portfolio securities if a member of the DST Team is in
possession of material, non-public (i.e., "inside") information relating to the issuer thereof.
Nevertheless, the Fund's Partnership Agreement will not preclude members of the DST Team from
advising portfolio companies and acquiring material, non-public information regarding portfolio
companies.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
40
EFTA00586896
In general, if there is a conflict between the duties of the General Partner or a member of the DST
Team to a portfolio company and such person's duties to the Fund or the Limited Partners, such
person's fiduciary duties to the portfolio company will prevail.
Litigation Risks
The Fund will be subject to a variety of litigation risks, particularly if one or more portfolio
companies face financial or other difficulties during the term of the Fund's investment. For
example, it is anticipated that individual members of the DST Team may actively assist portfolio
companies in differing capacities (including, without limitation, by serving as officers, directors, or
advisors). The Fund may also participate in portfolio company financings at implicit portfolio
company valuations lower than the valuations implicit in preceding rounds of financing, vote
portfolio company shares in a manner contrary to the interests of other shareholders, or be exposed
to flow-through liability for portfolio company debts and obligations (e.g., under laws governing
liability for environmental damage). In the event of a dispute arising from any of the foregoing
activities (or other activities relating to the operation of the Fund or the General Partner), it is
possible that the Fund, the General Partner, or the members of the DST Team may be named as
defendants. Under most circumstances, the Fund will indemnify the General Partner and DST Team
members for any costs they incur in connection with such disputes. Beyond direct costs, such
disputes may adversely affect the Fund in a variety of ways, including by distracting the General
Partner and harming relationships between the Fund and its portfolio companies or other investors in
such portfolio companies.
To the extent set forth in the Fund's Partnership Agreement, Limited Partners may be required to
return distributions previously received by them from the Fund in order to enable the Fund to make
indemnification payments to indemnified persons.
More generally, Limited Partners may be required to return distributions previously received by
them from the Fund to the extent required by applicable law. Such a return obligation may occur,
for example, if the Fund makes a distribution at a time when it is technically insolvent or otherwise
unable to satisfy the claims of creditors.
Regulatory Concerns
The Fund will be subject to a variety of securities laws and other types of governmental regulation
that may limit the scope of its operations or impose material compliance costs and other burdens.
While the General Partner believes that the Fund will not be subject to the registration requirements
of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), there
can be no assurance that this belief is, or will continue to be, correct. If the Fund were subject to
such registration requirements, the Fund's performance could be materially adversely affected.
The General Partner intends to engage DST Investment Management Limited, which is in the
process of obtaining a license from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (the
"IIKSFC"), as its primary Advisory Company. There can be no guarantee that the HKSFC will
grant such license in a timely manner, without undue delay or expense, or at all. In such event, the
General Partner may be required to designate another affiliated company as the Fund's primary
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
41
EFTA00586897
Advisory Company, but the potential delay and disruption that could cause to the management of the
Fund could have an adverse impact on the Fund's operations in the short term.
In general, the General Partner will seek to balance the costs and benefits of governmental regulation
and oversight to which the General Partner and the Fund are subject. While it is anticipated that less
regulation will reduce compliance and other costs, it may also eliminate a variety of investor
protections (including certain protections arising under the Securities Act, the U.S. Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Company Act, the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the
"Advisers Act")), that would be available if the General Partner and the Fund were subject to greater
governmental regulation and oversight. See Section IX — Certain Tax, ERISA and Regulatory
Considerations. In particular, prospective Investors are cautioned against assuming the applicability
of investor protections generally associated with public offerings of securities. This Memorandum is
not a "prospectus" and does not purport to describe or otherwise address all material considerations
relating to an investment in the Fund.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the General Partner and the Fund (together
with their respective related persons) hereby disclaim any duties, obligations, or status as an advisor,
finder, agent, broker or dealer on behalf or in respect of any person in connection with such person's
actual or proposed investment in the Fund.
Limited Access to Information
The rights of Limited Partners to infonttation regarding the Fund and its portfolio companies will be
specified, and strictly limited, in the Fund's Partnership Agreement. In particular, it is anticipated
that the General Partner will obtain certain types of material information that will not be disclosed to
Limited Partners. For example, the General Partner may obtain information regarding portfolio
companies (e.g., via members of the DST Team serving as advisors to, or officers/directors of,
portfolio companies) that is material to determining the value of securities issued by such portfolio
companies. Such information may be withheld from Limited Partners in order to comply with duties
to such portfolio companies or otherwise to protect the interests of such portfolio companies or the
Fund.
Decisions by the General Partner to withhold information may have adverse consequences for
Limited Partners in a variety of circumstances. For example: (a) a Limited Partner that seeks to sell
its interest in the Fund may have difficulty in determining an appropriate price for such interest; (b)
decisions by the General Partner to withhold information may make it difficult for Limited Partners
to subject the General Partner to rigorous oversight; and (c) each communication from the General
Partner to one or more Limited Partners must be interpreted in light of the realistic possibility that
the General Partner is in possession of undisclosed information relating to the Fund or its portfolio
companies that could be material to a comprehensive assessment of such communication. Overall,
prospective Investors should not expect the Fund to be operated with the same degree of
"transparency" as a publicly traded corporation.
Exculpation and Indemnification
The Fund's Partnership Agreement will contain provisions that relieve the General Partner and
members of the DST Team of liability for certain improper acts or omissions. For example, the
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
42
EFTA00586898
General Partner and DST Team members generally will not be liable to the Limited Partners or the
Fund for acts or omissions that constitute ordinary negligence. Under certain circumstances, the
Fund may even indemnify the General Partner and members of the DST Team against liability to
third parties resulting from such improper acts or omissions.
Furthermore, the General Partner is structured as a limited company and the individual members of
the DST Team generally will not be personally liable for the General Partner's debts and obligations.
In consequence, Limited Partners may have little or no recourse to the personal assets of the
individual members of the DST Team even if the General Partner breaches a duty to the Limited
Partners or the Fund.
Taxation
Risks associated with tax matters are discussed below under the heading "Certain Tax, ERISA and
Regulatory Considerations," which prospective Investors should read carefully.
Prospective
Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to their own tax situations and the
effects of an investment in the Fund.
This Memorandum does not contain tax disclosure relating to potential home jurisdictions of the
Fund's portfolio companies. Moreover, tax laws change on a frequent and unpredictable basis.
Prospective Investors should assume that home tax laws will have a significant impact upon the
operations and financial performance of the Fund and may even impose direct obligations (such as
return filing obligations) upon Limited Partners.
ERISA
Each prospective employee benefit plan Investor is urged to read the section entitled "Certain
ERISA Considerations" below and consult with its own legal counsel regarding ERISA matters.
Without limitation, a prospective Investor that is a fiduciary under ERISA should carefully consider
whether an investment in the Fund would be consistent with its fiduciary duties.
Legal Counsel
Documents relating to the Fund, including the subscription agreement to be completed by each
Investor as well as the Fund's Partnership Agreement, will be detailed and often technical in nature.
Legal counsel to the Fund will represent the interests solely of the General Partner and the Fund, and
will not represent the interests of any Investor. Moreover, under the Fund's Partnership Agreement,
each Investor will be required to waive any actual or potential conflicts of interest between such
Investor and legal counsel to the Fund. Accordingly, each Investor is urged to consult with its own
legal counsel before investing in the Fund or making any other decisions regarding Fund matters.
In advising as to matters of law (including matters of law described in this Memorandum), legal
counsel to the Fund has relied, and will rely, upon representations of fact made by the General
Partner and other persons. Such advice may be materially inaccurate or incomplete if any such
representations are themselves inaccurate or incomplete. Legal counsel to the Fund generally has
not undertaken and will not undertake independent investigation with regard to such representations.
Legal counsel's representation of the General Partner and the Fund is and will be limited to specific
matters and will not address all legal or related matters that may be material to the General Partner or
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
43
EFTA00586899
the Fund. Moreover, legal counsel has not undertaken to monitor the compliance of the General
Partner or the Fund with any laws, regulations, agreements or other matters. It will be the
responsibility of the General Partner to monitor such compliance and to obtain the advice of counsel
as the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate.
Maples and Calder, PC/ Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY I-1104, Cayman Islands, acts
as Cayman Islands legal counsel to the General Partner. In connection with the offering of Interests
and subsequent advice to the General Partner, Maples and Calder will not be representing Limited
Partners. No independent legal counsel has been retained to represent the Limited Partners. Maples
and Calder's representation of the General Partner is limited to specific matters as to which it has
been consulted by the General Partner. There may exist other matters that could have a bearing on
the Fund as to which Maples and Calder has not been consulted. In addition, Maples and Calder
does not undertake to monitor compliance by the General Partner and its affiliates with the
investment program, valuation procedures and other guidelines set forth herein, nor does Maples and
Calder monitor ongoing compliance with applicable laws. In connection with the preparation of this
Memorandum, Maples and Calder's responsibility is limited to matters of Cayman Islands law and it
does not accept responsibility in relation to any other matters referred to or disclosed in this
Memorandum. In the course of advising the General Partner, there are times when the interests of the
Limited Partners may differ from those of the General Partner and the Fund. Maples and Calder
does not represent the Limited Partners' interests in resolving these issues. In reviewing this
Memorandum, Maples and Calder has relied upon information furnished to it by the General Partner
and has not investigated or verified the accuracy and completeness of information set forth herein
concerning the Fund.
Factual Statements/Track Record Information
Certain of the factual statements made in this Memorandum are based upon infonnation from
various sources believed by the General Partner to be reliable. The General Partner and the Fund
have not independently verified any of such information and shall have no liability for any
inaccuracy or inadequacy thereof. Except to the extent that legal counsel has been engaged solely to
advise as to matters of law, no other party (including legal counsel to the Fund and the General
Partner) has been engaged to verify the accuracy or adequacy of any of the factual statements
contained in this Memorandum. In particular, neither legal counsel nor any other party has been
engaged to verify any statements relating to the experience, track record, skills, contacts or other
attributes of the members of the DST Team or to the anticipated future performance of the Fund.
Investors are cautioned about relying upon information within this Memorandum that presents, or is
based upon, valuations of private company securities or securities that are otherwise subject to
limitations on marketability (such as underwriters' lock-ups or restrictions associated with a board of
directors position held by a member of the DST Team). It is difficult to determine the true fair
market value of such securities, and the General Partner's ability to present infonnation regarding
the value of specific companies may be impaired due to contractual or fiduciary obligations to those
companies or other third parties, with the result that the General Partner (like many other participants
in the venture capital/private equity industry) often is called upon to determine valuations based
upon reasonable estimates or various "rules of thumb" common within the industry. While all such
information in this Memorandum is presented by the General Partner in good faith, there can be no
assurance that explicit or implicit valuations of such securities reflect true fair market value (or even
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
44
EFTA00586900
all of the information in the possession of the General Partner). Similar considerations apply to
securities that are otherwise marketable, but held in such large amounts that they could not be sold
without overwhelming market demand or otherwise influencing market prices."
Investment track record and other background information presented in this Memorandum with
respect to members of the DST Team is not comprehensive. In particular, the information set forth
in this Memorandum should not be interpreted as an exhaustive presentation of outcomes of
investments with which such persons have been involved, their professional and other
accomplishments, or their business experience.
Investors in the Fund will not participate in any of the prior investments of Mail.ru, DSTG I or
DSTG II described in this Memorandum. There can be no guarantee that the investments to be made
by the Fund will be profitable or will have returns comparable to those prior investments.
Performance data labeled "Gross IRRs" and "Gross Multiples" do not reflect the fees, expenses and
carried interest payable by Mail.ru, DSTG I and DSTG II, which may be substantial.
During the term of the Fund, the General Partner will provide to the Limited Partners reports and
other information regarding the condition and prospects of the Fund and its portfolio companies.
The General Partner's duties, obligations and liability to the Limited Partners with respect to the
content, completeness and accuracy of such information will be determined solely under the Fund's
Partnership Agreement.
Definitive Terms and Conditions
Portions of this Memorandum describe specific terms and conditions expected to be set forth in the
Fund's Partnership Agreement.
The actual terms and conditions set forth in the Partnership
Agreement may vary materially from those described in this Memorandum for a variety of reasons
including negotiations between the General Partner and prospective Limited Partners prior to the
Fund's initial closing as well as formal amendments to the Partnership Agreement following such
closing. Moreover, the Partnership Agreement will contain highly detailed terms and conditions,
many of which are not described fully (or at all) in this Memorandum. In all cases, the Fund's
Partnership Agreement will supersede this Memorandum. Prospective Investors are urged to
carefully review the Fund's Partnership Agreement. In general, the Partnership Agreement may be
amended with the consent of the General Partner and a majority in interest of the Limited Partners, if
such amendment would have an adverse effect on the Limited Partners. Consequently, certain types
of amendments to the Partnership Agreement may be adopted with the consent of less than all
Limited Partners.
Industry-Specific Terminoloay
Investors are cautioned that certain terms and phrases of common usage within the private equity
industry may be misleading to those unfamiliar with such usage. In particular, individuals who
participate in the management of a fund often are referred to, in a colloquial sense, as "managing
partners" or "general partners" even though they are not actually partners of any partnership. The
14 Sec Appendix Et - Valuation Methodology and IRA Calculation.

Fund is a limited partnership, the General Partner of the Fund is a limited company, and the Key
Man or his designees will direct the management of the General Partner through his beneficial
ownership of the General Partner and the Advisory Company and drawing advice from the Advisory
Company. It is not intended that the Fund will have any general partner other than the General
Partner or that any actual general partnership will in any manner be associated with the formation,
operation, dissolution or termination of the Fund. Prospective Investors must not presume or rely
upon the existence of any actual legal entities other than the Fund, the General Partner and the
Advisory Company. With respect to all matters involving industry specific terminology, prospective
Investors are urged to consult with their own legal and other advisors.
Additional Risks for Investors in Second or Later Closings
On or before the Final Closing Date, subject to the 52 billion limit on aggregate Capital
Commitments, the Fund may admit additional Limited Partners or accept increased Capital
Commitments from existing Limited Partners at one or more additional closings. Except as
otherwise provided in the Partnership Agreement, the fact that certain Capital Commitments may be
attributable to closings held after the initial closing will generally be disregarded for purposes of
allocating Fund profits and losses (i.e., all Capital Commitments will be treated as if made at the
initial closing).
A Limited Partner that is admitted to the Fund, or increases its Capital Commitment, after the initial
closing will be required to immediately contribute that portion of its entire Capital Commitment that
it would have been required to contribute if such entire Capital Commitment had been made at the
initial closing. In addition, such Limited Partner will be required to immediately contribute (which
contributions will not reduce the amount of the Limited Partner's undrawn Capital Commitment) an
additional amount at a floating rate of interest equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 200
basis points per annum, calculated on an annually compounded basis and appropriately prorated for
any period that is less than 12 months, on the amount such Limited Partner is required to contribute
in connection with its admission to the Fund or with the increase in its Capital Commitment, as
applicable; provided that, in the event of significant appreciation in the value of one or more of the
Fund's investments made prior to a subsequent closing, each later-admitted Limited Partner will
"buy-in" to such investments at their fair market value as of such subsequent closing (in lieu of
payment of such additional interest amount described above), but only if the General Partner has
reasonably determined that such adjustment is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests
of the Partners. This "buy-in" amount will not increase the later-admitted Limited Partner's Capital
Commitment. However, if the Fund's initial investments appreciate in value before the Fund's Final
Closing Date, later-admitted Limited Partners may have a smaller relative interest in such
investments than earlier-admitted Partners with the same sized Capital Commitment. Events that
could cause significant appreciation in value, and hence such an adjustment in ownership interests,
include, but are not limited to, the closing of a new round of financing by the issuer of the relevant
Portfolio Securities at a higher price, or a secondary transaction of at least one-half of one percent
(.5%) of the outstanding shares of such Portfolio Securities, in each case higher than the price paid
by the Fund for such Portfolio Securities.
Following the Fund's initial closing, the Fund will continue to engage in a variety of investment and
investment-related activities. In connection with such activities, the Fund and the General Partner
likely will obtain confidential information regarding actual or potential portfolio companies. The
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
46
EFTA00586902
General Partner and the Fund generally will not disclose such information to prospective Investors in
connection with their consideration of an investment in the Fund. As a more general matter, any
person considering an investment in the Fund (including an existing Limited Partner that is
considering an increase to its Capital Commitment) subsequent to the Fund's initial closing should
assume that the General Partner and the Fund will be in possession of information (such as
information relating to actual or prospective portfolio companies, to actual or prospective Limited
Partners, or to other matters arising subsequent to such initial closing) which information both: (a)
would be material to such person's evaluation of an investment in the Fund; and (b) will not be
disclosed to such person by the General Partner or the Fund in connection with such evaluation. The
General Partner and the Fund explicitly disclaim any obligation to update this Memorandum to
include (or otherwise inform prospective Investors of) any such information.
Under some circumstances, a person considering an investment in the Fund may be provided with
copies of the Fund's financial statements for periods following the initial closing. Any such person
is cautioned that it will be inherently difficult to determine the value of private company securities
held by the Fund and that, accordingly, it would be inappropriate to interpret any information set
forth in such statements as a representation or warranty regarding the true fair market value of any
such securities.
Additional Risks for Investors in Parallel Funds
References in this Memorandum to the "Fund" are to DST Global III, L.P. a Cayman Islands
exempted limited partnership (the "Cayman Partnership"). In addition, the General Partner or an
affiliate may organize one or more limited partnerships, other investment vehicles, other investment
advisory programs or other entities to invest in parallel, subject to the 52 billion limit on aggregate
capital commitments of the Fund and any parallel investment vehicles, with the Cayman Partnership
in order to facilitate investment by certain investors (depending on applicable legal and/or tax
requirements). These parallel investment vehicles (the "Parallel Funds") may be created with a legal
structure which may be the same or different from that of the other Parallel Funds, but will have
substantially the same economic terms.
Each of the Parallel Funds will generally invest proportionately, based on their respective capital
commitments, in all investments, on substantially the same terms and conditions subject to any
restrictions applicable to such Parallel Fund.
The General Partner may also form, or consent to the formation of, special purpose entities to invest
in the Fund ("Feeder Funds"), which will invest on the same terms as other Limited Partners, except
for certain "look-through" provisions relating to voting and default.
Investors in Parallel Funds are cautioned that the limited partnership or operative agreements of such
Parallel Funds may contain terms and conditions that deviate significantly from those described in
this Memorandum or in the Fund's Partnership Agreement. Nevertheless, prospective parallel fund
investors are urged to carefully consider the risk factors, legends and other disclosure materials in
this Memorandum, many or most of which will apply in corresponding manner to the Parallel Funds.

IX. CERTAIN TAX, ERISA AND REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
(NEEDS LEGAL REVIEW)
Certain Material U.S. Federal income Tax Considerations
To ensure compliance with the U.S. Treasury Department Circular 230. investors are hereby
notified that: (a) any discussion of U.S. federal tax issues in this Memorandum is not intended
or written to be relied upon, and cannot be relied upon, by investors for the purpose of
avoiding penalties that may be imposed on investors under the Code (as defined below); (b)
such discussion is included in this Memorandum in connection with the promotion or
marketing of the transactions or matters addressed herein; and (c) investors should seek
advice based on their particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.
For the purposes of the following discussion, references to the "Partnership" shall mean the
Cayman Partnership.
Investors participating in a Parallel Fund other than the Cayman
Partnership, should consult their own tax advisers.
The following summary outlines certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to
an investment in the Partnership by U.S. Investors (as defined herein) and, to a limited extent, Non-
U.S. Investors (as defined herein). This summary does not contain a complete discussion of the
federal tax aspects of an investment in the Partnership and is intended only to provide general
information for Investors that hold their interests in the Partnership as a capital asset and is not
intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.
This summary does not address the tax
considerations that may be relevant to Investors subject to special treatment under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), such as U.S. expatriates or dealers in securities,
tax-exempt entities (except to the limited extent discussed below) or to other types of Investors, such
as corporations, partnerships, trusts and estates. Such persons should consult with their own tax
advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Partnership, which
may differ substantially from those described herein. This summary also does not address any U.S.
state or local, or foreign (except to the limited extent discussed below) tax consequences of an
investment in the Partnership.
As used herein, the term "U.S. Investor" means an Investor that, for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, is (a) a citizen or resident of the U.S., (b) a corporation (or other entity treated as a
corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the U.S. or of
any political subdivision thereof, (c) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income
taxation regardless of its source, or (d) a trust that is subject to the supervision of a court within the
U.S. and the control of one or more U.S. persons or that has a valid election in effect under
applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. The term "Non-U.S. Investor"
means any Investor that is not a U.S. Investor and who, in addition, is not (x) a partnership or other
fiscally transparent entity, (y) an individual present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during a taxable
year who meets certain other conditions, or (z) subject to rules applicable to certain expatriates or
former long-term residents of the U.S.
The following discussion is based upon current provisions of the Code, existing and currently
proposed Treasury Regulations under the Code (the "Treasury Regulations"), legislative history,
administrative rulings and judicial decisions, any of which could be changed by legislation or
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
48
EFTA00586904
otherwise. Thus, no assurance can be given that changes, including retroactive changes, will not be
forthcoming which would affect the accuracy of any statements herein. Prospective Investors should
be aware that, although the Partnership intends to adopt positions it believes are in accord with
current interpretations of the U.S. federal income tax laws, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
may not agree with the tax positions taken by the Partnership and that, if challenged by the IRS, the
Partnership's tax positions might not be sustained by the courts.
Partnership Status
It is intended that the Partnership will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a
partnership and not as an association, taxable mortgage pool or publicly traded partnership (a
"PTP"), taxable as a corporation. A partnership is a PTP if interests in the partnership are traded on
an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market. The General Partner
intends to operate the Partnership so it will not be treated as a PTP. The Partnership intends to obtain
and rely on appropriate representations and undertakings from each Limited Partner in order to
ensure that the Partnership is not treated as a PTP.
The discussion below assumes that the Partnership will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. No application has been or is contemplated to be made to the IRS for a ruling
on the classification of the Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Taxation of Partnership and Limited Partners
As a partnership, the Partnership is not itself subject to U.S. federal income tax. Each Partner will be
required to take into account, in the Partner's taxable year during which a taxable year of the
Partnership ends such Partner's distributive share of all items of Partnership income, gain, loss,
deduction, or credit for such taxable year of the Partnership. A Partner must take such items into
account even if the Partnership does not make any distributions to such Partner during its taxable
year. Consequently, a Limited Partner may recognize taxable income during a period in which the
Partner receives no distribution from the Partnership or experiences an economic loss or even when
such income has not yet been received by the Partnership.
A Limited Partner that participates in the Early-Bird Closing may be required to take into account as
income, immediately after the Early-Bird Closing, an amount equal to the difference between (i) the
fair market value of its interest in contributed Facebook shares and (ii) the Early-Bird Closing
valuation of such interest in contributed Facebook shares. The Partnership is unlikely to make cash
distributions sufficient to satisfy tax liabilities relating to such recognition of taxable income. Each
Limited Partner may elect not to have the Early-Bird Closing valuation apply, in which case (x) no
taxable income will be recognized by such Limited Partner in connection with the Early-Bird
Closing and the contributed Facebook shares and (y) any appreciation in the Facebook shares prior
to the contribution of such shariN to the Partnership will be retained by the contributing partners.
Each prospective U.S. Investor participating in the Early-Bird Closing is urged to consult with its
tax advisor as to the desirability of electing out of the Early-Bird Closing valuation.

EFTA00586905
Limitations on Deductibility of Partnership Deductions and Losses
A Limited Partner is allowed to deduct its allocable share of Partnership losses (if any) only to the
extent of such Limited Partner's adjusted tax basis in its Interest at the end of the taxable year in
which 0te losses occur. In addition, Limited Partners who are individuals, trusts, or certain closely
held corporations could be subject to various limitations on their ability to deduct their allocable
share of deductions and losses of the Partnership against other income. Such limitations include
those relating to "passive losses" (as defined under Section 469 of the Code), amounts "at risk" (as
defined under Section 465 of the Code), "investment interest" (as defined under Section 163 of the
Code), and miscellaneous itemized deductions (under Sections 67 and 68 of the Code). Because of
some of these limitations, it is possible that in a situation in which the Partnership has losses, certain
Partners may not be able to use those losses against other income they may have. Also, if the
Partnership has losses from some activities and income from different activities, certain Partners
may not be able to net such Partnership losses against such Partnership income.
The Management Fee, together with certain other Partnership expenses, will likely be treated as
"miscellaneous itemized deductions" of the Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For
U.S. federal income tax purposes, individuals and certain trusts and estates that hold interests in the
Partnership may deduct such expenses in a taxable year only to the extent that their aggregate
miscellaneous itemized deductions for the year exceed 2% of their adjusted gross incomes for the
year. Thus, in the case of certain Limited Partners, all or a portion of the above expenses may not be
deductible in certain taxable years.
In addition, interest on indebtedness incurred to purchase or carry property held for investment is
generally deductible by non-corporate taxpayers only to the extent it does not exceed net investment
income. Interest expense incurred by a Limited Partner to acquire or carry its interest in the
Partnership generally will be investment interest. In addition, a Limited Partner's allocable share of
interest expense incurred by the Partnership, if any, may be treated as investment interest expense.
For this purpose, any long-tens capital gain and certain qualified dividend income are excluded from
investment income unless the taxpayer elects to pay tax on such amount at ordinary income tax rates.
Any investment interest disallowed as a deduction in a taxable year solely by reason of the limitation
above is treated as investment interest paid or accrued in the succeeding taxable year.
Considerations Regarding Non-U.S. Investments
The Partnership may own stock or securities of non-U.S. corporations. The discussion below is only
a brief summary of some of the tax issues that may apply in such case. Each prospective Investor
should consult with its own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to it of such stock or
securities ownership by the Partnership.
Non-U.S. entities in which the Partnership invests could be treated as "controlled foreign
corporations" ("CFCs"), or "passive foreign investment companies" ("PFICs") for U.S. tax
purposes. An investment in a CFC or PFIC could cause a U.S. Investor to recognize income prior to
the receipt of distributions from the CFC or PFIC, or in the case of a PFIC require the U.S. Investor
to pay an interest charge on the tax associated with distributions or sales of stock. U.S. Investors
could also be taxable in whole or in part at ordinary income rates rather than the currently more
favorable capital gains rates upon the sale of stock of a CFC or PFIC. Generally, the Code provides
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
50
EFTA00586906
for certain U.S. federal income tax elections (such as the "qualified electing fund" election under
Section 1295 of the Code with respect to PFICs) that could mitigate some of the adverse tax
consequences of holding interests in foreign companies; however, the Partnership can provide no
assurance that any foreign portfolio company will provide the information necessary for a U.S.
Investor to make any such election.
U.S. Investors that own (directly or through the Partnership) stock in foreign corporations, including
CFCs and PFICs, are subject to special reporting requirements under the Code. Each prospective
Investor should consult with its own tax advisor regarding such reporting requirements.
Foreign Tax Credit Limitations
The Partnership's income or gains may be subject to withholding, net income or other taxation in
jurisdictions where the investments are located; the applicability of any such taxes are not addressed
in this Memorandum.
With respect to creditable foreign taxes paid on the income or gains of the Partnership, U.S.
Investors may be entitled to claim either a foreign tax credit, or, subject to limits generally applicable
to all deductions, a deduction for their share of such foreign taxes. However, the rules for
determining eligibility for and limits on foreign tax credits are extremely complex and depend on a
number of factors that are unique to each U.S. Investor's particular circumstances. For example, a
credit for foreign taxes is subject to the limitation that it may not exceed the U.S. Investor's federal
tax (before the credit) attributable to its total foreign source income in the relevant category.
Furthermore, foreign taxes paid by a foreign corporation in which the Partnership holds a direct or
indirect equity investment generally cannot be claimed as a credit by a U.S. Investor unless the U.S.
Investor is a corporation that is treated as owning (actually or constructively) at least 10% of the
voting stock of the foreign corporation and certain other conditions are satisfied. U.S. Investors
should consult with their own tax advisors regarding all aspects of the rules applicable to foreign tax
credits and the potential availability of foreign tax credits to them with respect to the income or taxes
of the Partnership.
Unrelated Business Taxable Income
A U.S. Investor that is a tax-exempt entity is generally exempt from U.S. federal income tax on its
income, except to the extent of its unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI"). UBTI is defined
generally as the gross income derived from any trade or business that is regularly carried on by the
tax-exempt entity and unrelated to its exempt purposes, less any directly connected deductions, and
subject to certain modifications. If a tax-exempt entity is an investor in an entity treated as a
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes that incurs income that would be UBTI if incurred
directly by the tax-exempt entity, the tax-exempt entity's distributive share of such partnership's
income constitutes UBTI. For the purposes of computing UBTI, the Code generally excludes from
gross income certain investment income, including gain or loss from the sale or other disposition of
property (other than property that constitutes inventory or that is held primarily for sale in the
ordinary course of a trade or business, referred to as "dealer property"), dividends, interest, and
certain rents from real property. In addition, UBTI includes "unrelated debt-financed income,"
which generally is defined as any income derived from property in respect of which there is
"acquisition indebtedness," even if the income would otherwise be excluded in computing UBTI.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

EFTA00586907
Thus, if a tax-exempt investor has acquisition indebtedness with aspect to its Interests, it may incur
UBT1 with respect to the Partnership's investments.
Each prospective tax-exempt U.S. Investor is urged to consult with its tax advisor as to the
applicability of the rules relating to USTI
Non-U.S. Investors
The federal income tax treatment of a Non-U.S. Investor investing in the Partnership is complex and
will vary depending upon the circumstances of the Non-U.S. Investor and the activities of the
Partnership. If the Partnership were deemed to be engaged in a U.S. trade or business (e.g., as a
result of investing in an operating business organized as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal
income tax purposes), then a Non-U.S. Investor would be subject to federal income tax each year on
its distributive share of the taxable income of the Partnership deemed to be effectively connected
with a U.S. trade or business ("ECI"), as if such Investor were a U.S. person, regardless of whether
the Partnership makes any cash distributions (and certain corporate Non-U.S. Investors could be
subject to an additional 30% branch profits tax, subject to reduction by treaty). The Non-U.S.
Investor would also be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return. The Partnership will be
required to withhold, generally at the rate of 35%, on a Non-U.S. Investor's allocable share of any
taxable income of the Partnership that is ECI (whether or not such income is distributed). Such
withholding tax may be claimed as a credit against such Non-U.S. Investor's substantive U.S. tax
liability. Non-U.S. Investors should be aware that the Partnership could incur Ea.
In addition, to the extent that the Partnership realizes U.S. source fixed, determinable, annual or
periodical income (such as U.S. source interest and dividend income) that is not EC, the Non-U.S.
Investor's allocable share of such income generally will be subject to a 30% withholding tax. Such
withholding tax may be reduced or eliminated with respect to certain types of such income under an
applicable income tax treaty between the U.S. and the Non-U.S. Investor's country of residence or
under the "portfolio interest" rules contained in Code Section 871 or 881, provided that the Non-U.S.
Investor provides proper certification as to its eligibility for such treatment. The portfolio interest
exemption generally applies to interest paid to a non-bank that owns less than 10% of the voting
stock of the borrower. A Non-U.S. Investor that is a governmental entity qualifying under Code
Section 892 may be exempt from the 30% withholding tax.
Regardless of whether the Partnership's activities constitute a U.S. trade or business giving rise to
ECI, under provisions added to the Code by the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of
1980 ("FIRPTA"), a Non-U.S. Investor's share of any gain or loss that is realized in connection with
the disposition of a "U.S. real property interest" (as defined below) generally will be treated as ECI
and will be subject to federal net income and withholding tax, and, in the case of corporate Non-U.S.
Investors, the branch profits tax. however, the branch profits tax generally does not apply to gain
from the disposition of stock in a USRPFIC (as defined below). "U.S. real property interest"
generally means an ownership interest in real property located in the U.S. or the Virgin Islands, in
any partnership that holds U.S. real property interests, and in a domestic corporation if 50% or more
of the value of its real estate and business assets consist of U.S. real property interests ("USRPIIC").
Non-U.S. Investors intending to rely on a tax treaty between the U.S. and their jurisdiction of
residence should also be aware that there are various limitations, both under U.S. domestic law and
certain tax treaties, on the ability of a Non-U.S. Investor to claim the benefits of a tax treaty.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
52
EFTA00586908
Non-U.S. Investors generally will be personally liable to the Partnership with respect to any
withholding tax not satisfied out of their share of any distributions by the Partnership.
Each Non-US. Investor is urged to consult with its own tax advisers regarding U.S. federal, state
and local and foreign tax treatment of an investment in the Partnership.
Partner Information Reporting Reouirements
The U.S. tax rules impose certain information reporting requirements on U.S. Investors who (a) own,
directly or indirectly, more than certain threshold amounts of capital interests or profits interests in
foreign entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such as the Partnership
or a foreign company into which the Partnership invests, or (b) contribute, in their capacity as
partners, more than $100,000 to a non-U.S. partnership, such as the Partnership or a foreign
company into which the Partnership invests, during any twelve-month period.
Partner Reporting Requirements Regarding Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts and Other Foreign
Financial Assets
Effective for taxable years beginning after I8 March 2010, certain individuals (and, if provided in
future guidance, certain domestic entities) must disclose annually their interests in "specified foreign
financial assets" on IRS Form 8938, to be attached to their U.S. federal income tax returns. The IRS
has not yet released a copy of the Form 8938 and has suspended the requirement to attach Form
8938 for any taxable year for which an income tax return is filed before the release of Form 8938.
Following Form 8938's release, individuals will be required to attach to their next income tax return
required to be filed with the IRS a Form 8938 for each taxable year for which the filing of Form
8938 was suspended. Until the IRS provides more details regarding this reporting requirement,
including in Form 8938 itself and related Treasury regulations, it remains unclear under what
circumstances, if any, a Partner's interest in the Partnership and/or a Partner's indirect interest in the
Partnership's "specified foreign financial assets," if any, will be required to be reported under these
rules. In addition, Partners that are U.S. persons and own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of
the Partnership's capital or profits could be required to report annually their "financial interest" in
the Partnership's "foreign financial accounts," if any, on Treasury Department Form TD F 90-22.1,
Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts. Penalties for failing to comply with these reporting
requirements can be severe.
Limited Partners should consult a tax advisor regarding the
applicability to them of both of these reposing requirements.
Other Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Rules enacted in March 2010 require the reporting to the IRS of direct and indirect ownership of
foreign financial accounts and foreign entities by U.S. persons. Failure, including by a U.S. person,
to provide this required information can result in a 30% withholding tax on certain payments
("withholdable payments"). Withholdable payments include U.S.-source dividends and interest
made on or after January I, 2014, and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposal of property that
can produce U.S.-source dividends or interest made on or after January I, 2015. The withholding
could apply to payments made to the Partnership, as well as at the Partnership level with respect to
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
53
EFTA00586909
the Partners. Limited Partners are urged to consult a tax advisor regarding this new reporting and
withholding regime, in light of their particular circumstances.
Non-U.S.. State and Local Taxes
In addition to the U.S. federal income tax consequences described above, prospective Investors
should consider potential non-U.S. and U.S state and local tax consequences of an investment in the
Partnership, including the likelihood that Investors will be required to file tax returns and pay tax in
jurisdictions where the Partnership, its subsidiaries, or portfolio companies hold real property, do
business or are organized. The Partnership and other entities through which it invests may be
subject to non-U.S. and U.S. state or local income or similar taxes, including non-U.S. and U.S. state
or local tax withholding or reporting requirements.
Prospective Investors should consult their onn tax advisers for further information about US
federal. state and local. non-CS: and other tax consequences of intesting in the Partnership.

Certain Cayman Islands Tax and Law Matters
Taxation - Cayman Islands
The General Partner has received an undertaking from the Governor-in-Cabinet of the Cayman
Islands that, in accordance with section 6 of the Tax Concessions Law (1999 Revision) of the
Cayman Islands, for a period of 20 years from the date of the undertaking, no law which is enacted
in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations shall
apply to the General Partner or its operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits,
income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be
payable (i) on or in expect of the shares, debentures or other obligations of the General Partner or
(ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividend or other distribution of
income or capital by the General Partner to its members or a payment of principal or interest or other
sums due under a debenture or other obligation of the Fund.
The Government of the Cayman Islands will not, under existing legislation, impose any income,
corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax upon the
Partnership or the Limited Partners. Interest, dividends and gains payable to the Partnership and all
distributions by the Partnership to Limited Partners will be received free of any Cayman Islands
income or withholding taxes. The Partnership has registered as an exempted limited partnership
under Cayman Islands law and the Partnership will apply for, and expects to receive, an undertaking
from the Governor in Cabinet of the Cayman Islands to the effect that, for a period of 50 years from
the date of the undertaking, no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be
levied on profits or income or gains or appreciations shall apply to the Partnership or to any Partner
thereof in respect of the operations or assets of the Partnership or the interest of a Partner therein;
and may further provide that any such taxes or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax
shall not be payable in respect of the obligations of the Partnership or the interests of the Partners
therein. The Cayman Islands are not party to a double tax treaty with any country that is applicable
to any payments made to or by the Partnership.
Mutual Funds Law — Cayman Islands
The Partnership is not required to register or be regulated as a mutual fund under the Mutual Funds
Law (2009 Revision) of the Cayman Islands. Neither the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority nor
any other governmental authority in the Cayman Islands has passed judgment upon or approved the
terms or merits of this document. There is no investment compensation scheme available to
investors in the Cayman Islands.
Anti-Money Laundering — Cayman Islands
In order to comply with regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering in any applicable
jurisdictions, the Partnership may require prospective investors to provide evidence to verify their
identity. Accordingly, the General Partner reserves the right to request such information as it
considers necessary to verify the identity of a prospective investor. The General Partner may refuse
to accept any subscription application if a prospective investor delays in producing or fails to
produce any information required by the General Partner for the purpose of verification and, in that
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
55
EFTA00586911
event, any fluids received by the General Partner will be returned without interest to the account
from which the moneys were originally debited.
If any person resident in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reasonable grounds for
knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or is involved with
terrorism or terrorist property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their
attention in the course of business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or
employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) the Financial
Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Law, 2008 of the
Cayman Islands if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering, or (ii) a police
officer of the rank of constable or higher, or the Financial Reporting Authoriy, pursuant to the
Terrorism Law (2009 Revision) of the Cayman Islands if the disclosure relates to involvement with
terrorism or terrorist financing and property. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of
confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or
otherwise.
Requests for Information
The Partnership, the General Partner or any of its or their directors or agents domiciled in the
Cayman Islands, may be compelled to provide information, subject to a request for infomtation
made by a regulatory or govemmental authority or agency under applicable law; e.g. by the Cayman
Islands Monetary Authority, either for itself or for a recognised overseas regulatory authority, under
the Monetary Authority Law (2010 Revision), or by the Tax Information Authority, under the Tax
Information Authority Law (2009 Revision) or Reporting of Savings Income infomtation (European
Union) Law (2007 Revision) and associated regulations, agreements, arrangements and memoranda
of understanding. Disclosure of confidential information under such laws shall not be regarded as a
breach of any duty of confidentiality and, in certain circumstances, the Partnership, the General
Partner or any of its or their directors or agents, may be prohibited from disclosing that the request
has been made.
The Partnership
The Partnership is to be constituted as a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership under the
Exempted Limited Partnership Law (2011 Revision) (the "ELP Law").
A Cayman Islands
exempted limited partnership is constituted by the signing of the relevant partnership agreement and
its registration with the Registrar of Exempted Limited Partnerships in the Cayman Islands.
Notwithstanding registration, an exempted limited partnership is not a separate legal person distinct
from its partners. Under Cayman Islands law, any property of the exempted limited partnership shall
be held or deemed to be held by the general partner, and if more than one then by the general
partners jointly upon trust, as an asset of the partnership in accordance with the terns of the
partnership agreement. Similarly, the general partner for and on behalf of the partnership incurs the
debts or obligations of the exempted limited partnership. Registration under the ELP Law entails
that the partnership becomes subject to, and the limited partners therein are afforded the limited
liability and other benefits of the ELP Law.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
56
EFTA00586912
The business of an exempted limited partnership will be conducted by its general panner(s) who will
be liable for all debts and obligations of the exempted limited partnership to the extent the
Partnership has insufficient assets. As a general matter, a limited partner of an exempted limited
partnership will not be liable for the debts and obligations of the exempted limited partnership save
(i) as expressed in the partnership agreement, (ii) if such limited partner becomes involved in the
conduct of the partnership's business arid holds himself out as a general partner to third parties or
(iii) if such limited partner is obliged pursuant to section 14(1) of the ELP Law to return a
distribution made to it where the exempted limited partnership is insolvent.

Certain ERISA Considerations
The advice set forth below was not intended or written to be used, and it cannot be used, by
any taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding U.S. federal tax penalties that may be imposed on the
taxpayer. The advice was written to support the promotion or marketing of the transaction(s)
or matter(s) addressed herein. Each taxpayer should seek advice based upon the taxpayer's
particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.
The foregoing language is
intended to satisfy the requirements under the regulations in Section 10.35 of Circular 230.
For the purposes of the following discussion, references to the "Partnership" shall mean the Cayman
Partnership. Investors participating in a Parallel Partnership other than the Cayman Partnership,
should consult their own legal advisers.
The U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), imposes
certain requirements on employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to the
provisions of Title I of ERISA, including entities such as collective investment funds and separate
accounts whose underlying assets include the assets of such plans (collectively, "ERISA Plans"), and
on those persons who are fiduciaries with respect to ERISA Plans. Investments by ERISA Plans are
subject to ERISA's general fiduciary requirements, including the requirement of investment
prudence and diversification. In addition, ERISA requires the fiduciary of an ERISA Plan to
maintain the indicia of ownership of the ERISA Plan's assets within the jurisdiction of the U.S.
district courts. The prudence of a particular investment must be determined by the responsible
fiduciary of an ERISA Plan by taking into account the ERISA Plan's particular circumstances and
all of the facts and circumstances of the investment including, but not limited to, the matters
discussed above in "Investment Strategy," the fact that the Partnership has a limited history of
operations, only one of the Partnership's investments have been selected as of the date of the
Memorandum and the fact that in the future there may be no market in which such fiduciary will be
able to sell or otherwise dispose of the Interests.
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan (as well as those plans
that are not subject to ERISA but which are subject to Section 4975 of the Code, such as individual
retirement accounts (together with ERISA Plans, "Plans")) and certain persons (referred to as
"parties in interest" or "disqualified persons") having certain relationships to such Plans, unless a
statutory or administrative exemption is applicable to the transaction. A "party in interest" or
"disqualified person" who engages in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to non-
deductible excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code, and the
transaction might have to be rescinded.
Governmental plans and certain church plans, while not subject to the fiduciary responsibility
provisions of ERISA or the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, may nevertheless be subject to
local, state or other federal laws that are substantially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA
and the Code. Fiduciaries of any such plans should consult with their counsel before purchasing any
Interests.
The Plan Assets Regulation
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
58
EFTA00586914
The U.S. Department of Labor has issued a regulation, 29 CFR Section 2510.3-101 (as modified by
Section 3(42) of ERISA, the "Plan Assets Regulation"), describing what constitutes the assets of a
Plan with respect to the Plan's investment in an entity for purposes of certain provisions of ERISA,
including the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA, and Section 4975 of the Code.
Under the Plan Assets Regulation, if a Plan invests in an "equity interest" of an entity (which is
defined as an interest in an entity other than an instrument that is treated as indebtedness under
applicable local law and which has no substantial equity features) that is neither a "publicly offered
security" nor a security issued by an investment company registered under the Investment Company
Act, the Plan's assets include both the equity interest and an undivided interest in each of the entity's
underlying assets, unless it is established that the entity is an "operating company" or that "benefit
plan investors" hold less than 25% of the equity interests in the entity. The Interests would
constitute an "equity interest" in the Partnership for purposes of the Plan Assets Regulation, and the
Interests will not constitute -publicly offered securities" for purposes of the Plan Assets Regulation.
In addition, the Partnership will not be registered under the Investment Company Act.
The 25% Limit
Under the Plan Assets Regulation, and assuming no other exemption applies, an entity's assets
would be deemed to include "plan assets" subject to ERISA on any date if, immediately after the
most recent acquisition of any equity interest in the entity, 25% or more of the value of any class of
equity interests in the entity is held by "benefit plan investors" (the "25% Limit"). For purposes of
this determination, the value of equity interests held by a person (other than a benefit plan investor)
that has discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets of the entity or that provides
investment advice for a fee with respect to such assets (or any affiliate of such a person) is
disregarded. The tens "benefit plan investor" is defined in the Plan Assets Regulation as (a) any
employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Tide
I of ERISA, (b) any plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code and (c) any entity whose
underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in the entity (to the extent of
such plan's investment in the entity). Thus, while the assets of the Partnership would not be
considered to be "plan assets" for purposes of ERISA so long as the 25% Limit is not exceeded, no
assurance can be given that the 25% Limit will not be exceeded at all times. The Partnership has not
yet determined whether to rely on this aspect of the Plan Assets Regulation.
Operating Companies
Under the Plan Assets Regulation, an entity is an "operating company" if it is primarily engaged,
directly or through a majority-owned subsidiary or subsidiaries, in the production or sale of a
product or service other than the investment of capital. In addition, the Plan Assets Regulation
provides that the term operating company includes an entity qualifying as a venture capital operating
company ("VCOC"). An entity will qualify as a VCOC if (a) on its "initial valuation date" and on at
least one day during each "annual valuation period," at least 50% of the entity's assets, valued at
cost, consist of "venture capital investments," and (b) the entity, in the ordinary course of business,
actually exercises management rights with respect to one or more of its venture capital investments.
The Plan Assets Regulation defines the term "venture capital investments" as investments in an
operating company (other than a VCOC) with respect to which the investor obtains management
rights. The "initial valuation date" is the date on which an entity first makes an investment that is
not a short-term investment of funds pending long-term commitment. An entity's "annual valuation
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
59
EFTA00586915
period" is a pre-established period not exceeding 90 days in duration, which begins no later than the
anniversary of the entity's initial valuation date.
If the 25% Limit is exceeded, the General Partner intends to use commercially reasonable efforts to
operate the Partnership in a manner that will enable the Partnership to qualify as a VCOC or to meet
such other excvtion as may be available to prevent the assets of the Partnership from being treated
as assets of any investing Plan for purposes of the Plan Assets Regulation. Accordingly, the General
Partner believes, on the basis of the Plan Assets Regulation, that the underlying assets of the
Partnership should not constitute "plan assets" for purposes of ERISA. However, no assurance can
be given that this will be the case.
If the Partnership's assets are deemed to constitute "plan assets" under ERISA, certain of the
transactions in which the Partnership might normally engage could constitute a non-exempt
"prohibited transaction" under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. In such circumstances, the
General Partner, in its sole discretion. may void or undo any such prohibited transaction, and may
require each Investor that is a "benefit plan investor" to withdraw from the Partnership in accordance
with the Partnership Agreement. In addition, if the Partnership's assets are deemed to be "plan
assets," the General Partner may be considered to be a fiduciary under ERISA.
A fiduciary of an ERISA plan or other plan that proposes to cause such entity to purchase any
Interests should consult with its counsel regarding the applicability of the fiduciary responsibility
and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code to such an investment,
and to confirm that such investment will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction or any other violation of ERISA.
The sale of Interests to a Plan is in no respect a representation by the Partnership, the General
Partner or any other person associated with the offering of the Interests that such an investment
meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by Plans generally or any particular
Plan, or that such an investment is appropriate for Plans generally or any particular Plan.
Form 550Q
Plan administrators of ERISA Plans that acquire Interests in the Partnership may be required to
[von compensation, including indirect compensation, paid in connection with the ERISA Plan's
investment in the Partnership on Schedule C of Fonn 5500 (Annual ReturniRepon of Employee
Benefit Plan). The descriptions in this Memorandum of fees and compensation, including the fees
paid to the General Partner, are intended to satisfy the disclosure requirement for "eligible indirect
compensation," for which an alternative reporting procedure on Schedule C of Form 5500 may be
available.
Certain U.S. Securities Law Matters
The Interests have not been registered under any U.S. federal or any state securities laws. The offer
and sale of the Interests in the U.S. is being made solely to selected Investors who qualify as
"accredited investors" (a) in reliance on the "private placement" exemption from registration
provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder and (b) in
reliance on appropriate exemptions from state registration and qualification requirements where
available. Each prospective U.S. Investor will be required to execute a subscription agreement
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
60
EFTA00586916
which, among other things, contains representations and warranties as to its accredited investor
status, as defined in Regulation D, and general suitability for an investment in the Fund.I5
In order to assure that an investment in the Fund is suitable for the Investor, the Investor must also
represent and warrant in the subscription agreement that, among other things, (a) it has the financial
ability to bear the economic risk of its entire investment in the Fund for an indefinite period, (b) it
has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Fund, (c) it is experienced in
evaluating entities such as the Fund and (d) it has read this Memorandum and the Partnership
Agreement and has determined that an investment in the Fund is suitable for it. An Investor must
also represent and warrant that (a) it is acquiring the Interests for its own account, for investment
only and not with a view for the resale or distribution thereof and (b) it is aware that the Interests
have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, there is
currently no market for the Interests and no market is likely to develop and the right to transfer the
Interests is restricted by the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and the Partnership
Agreement.
Restrictions on Transfer
The Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act and are, therefore, "restricted
securities" for purposes of the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Interests may not be resold in the
U.S. unless registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption
from such registration is available. There is no public market for the Interests and none is expected
to develop. Further, the Partnership Agreement provides that, except in very limited circumstances,
any transfer of the Interests shall be subject to the prior written approval of the General Partner.
U.S. Investment Company Act Matters
The Fund is not registered under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"Investment Company Act"), and it is not intended that the Fund will operate as a registered
investment company thereunder. Therefore, the Fund will not be subject to regulation under the
Investment Company Act, which includes rules for the protection of Investors that: (a) require
investment companies to have a majority of disinterested directors, (b) mandate segregation of
securities held in custody from the securities of any other person, and (c) regulate the relationship
between an investment adviser and an investment company. The Investors in the Fund will,
therefore, not have these protections under the Investment Company Act. Investors will be required
to make certain representations and warranties in the subscription agreement in order to establish an
exemption for the Fund from registration under the Investment Company Act.
U.S. Investment Advisers Act Matters
Neither the General Partner nor the Advisory Company are registered, and currently do not intend to
register, as investment advisers under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the
"Advisers Act"), in reliance upon the exemption from registration available pursuant to Rule
203(m)-1 under the Advisers Act for an adviser with a principal place of business outside the United

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

States that manages less than SI50 million in private fund assets from a place of business in the

clients. The Investors in the Fund will, therefore, not have these protections under the Advisers Act.
