FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This offering memorandum contains statements which, to the extent that they do not recite historical facts, constitute
forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or
current facts and may include the words "may," "will," "can," "could," "should," "would," "believe," "expect," "anticipate,"
"estimate," "intend," "plan" or other words or expressions of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements are based
on the current expectations of the General Partner and the Manager about future events. The forward-looking statements
include statements that reflect the General Partner's and the Manager's beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations,
anticipations and intentions with respect to the use of proceeds of this offering of the Interests; the Fund's investment
strategy, investment thesis, investment criteria, and methodology for calculating Net Asset Value; intentions and
expectations with respect to the management and advisors of the Manager, realization of proceeds from investments by
the Fund, the expected capital reserves of the Fund; expected future performance and business of the Fund and expected
effect of Cayman Islands laws and regulations, and expected timing for reporting of Net Asset Value; and changes and
uncertainty in statutory and regulatory requirements, including changes to securities, commodities, tax, and other laws,
rules and regulations.
We urge you to carefully review this offering memorandum, particularly the section entitled "Risk Factors," for a more
complete discussion of the risks of an investment in the Interests. Although the General Partner and the Manager believe
that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, neither the General Partner nor the
Manager can guarantee the Fund's results and returns on investments, level of activity, performance or achievements.
Many factors discussed in this offering memorandum, some of which are beyond the General Partner's and the Manager's
control, will be important in determining the future performance of the Fund. Consequently, actual results may differ
materially from those that might be anticipated from forward-looking statements. In light of these and other uncertainties,
you should not regard the inclusion of a forward-looking statement in this offering memorandum as a representation by
the General Partner and the Manager that the Fund's plans and objectives will be achieved, and you should not place
undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The General Partner and the Manager do not undertake any
obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as required by applicable law.

Andra Investment Thesis
The Fund's objective is to achieve superior long-term risk-adjusted capital appreciation by investing directly in a
portfolio of venture-funded technology companies selected by the Manager (as defined below). The Fund intends that
approximately eighty percent (80%) of the Fund's capital will be used to make un-leveraged investments in leading late-

on a discretionary basis which may include buybacks of SVCs (as defined below), investment in proven blockchain
companies, and earlier stage companies that have demonstrated standout traction and the potential to achieve breakout
success.
The Andra Team believes it will be a leader in the field because of its strong deal flow, proprietary selection criteria
and screening of late-stage technology companies, and ability to actively construct a uniquely risk-adjusted and diversified
portfolio.
Fund Strategy
Our primary objective in building the portfolio for the Fund is to provide investors with exposure to growing late-stage
private companies approaching a liquidity event, while diversifying idiosyncratic risks at the individual company level.
Each investment is subject to a comprehensive review of its effect on the existing portfolio, evaluation of the company's
financial condition, an in-depth industry and business analysis, legal and transaction structure, risk factors, and security
analysis.

investment guidelines:

Proven market leaders entering hyper-growth mode.
•
Funding backed by top-tier venture funds.
•
Companies that have a visible time horizon to a liquidity event for investors
•
[Maximum investment of 5% of the Fund in any individual investment.]
The investment guidelines described above outlines the general strategy and investment approach of the Fund and,
given the evolving nature of this investment landscape, may change at any time without notice to or consent from any
Limited Partner.
Investment Process
We maintain a deal screening process and collaborate with top-tier VCs during the evaluation of potential investment
targets. In addition to a comprehensive review of the lead VC's diligence, our in-house due diligence process evaluates
investment opportunities based on the Fund's investment strategy, return to investment, and careful understanding of risk.
Investments will require majority approval by the Investment Committee.
Upon identifying a suitable investment opportunity for the Fund's portfolio, the investment undergoes a thorough due
diligence process to evaluate all potential risks as well as returns to investment, and a comprehensive review of the
transaction terms, financial data, litigation, and legal structure. Investments will require majority approval by the
Investment Committee, which will initially be comprised of Mr. Haba, Mr. Tuan, and up to [three] additional members.

The SVCs
Simultaneously with the offering of the Interests, an affiliate of the General Partner, Andra Capital Tokens Inc., a
British Virgin Islands business company (the "Token Issue?), will offer for purchase by qualified investors a series of
ERC20-based smart contract digital tokens, each representing an indirect fractional non-voting economic interest in the
limited partnership interest in the Fund, up to an aggregate principal amount of USD 1 billion (each such digital token, a
"Silicon Valley Coin" or "SVC). The offering of the SVCs (the "SVC Offering") will be conducted pursuant to a separate
private placement memorandum (the "SVC Memorandum'). References herein to the "Fund' shall refer collectively to the
Fund and the Token Issuer unless the context indicates otherwise. Purchasers of Interests pursuant to the offering set
forth in this offering memorandum will be entitled to exchange all of their Interests for SVCs with an aggregate net asset
value equal to the net asset value attributable to the Interests being exchanged as of the date of such exchange.
Media Coverage
On or about April 30, 2018, various media sources published a news article from Reuters regarding the Fund (the
"Article"). The Article contained material misstatements of fact that must not be relied upon by any prospective purchaser
of Interests.
First, the Article misstated that the Fund "raised $500 million in funding." This was a misstatement because, on the
date of the Article, the Issuer and the Fund had not consummated the sale of $500 million of SVCs, pursuant to SAFTs or
otherwise. Next, the Article misstated that "Andra's coin can be immediately sold following the initial issuance? This was a
misstatement because the SVCs can only be offered, sold, and transferred in full compliance with applicable laws, the
Transfer Restriction, and the Transfer Prerequisite. Further, the Article misstated that "Andra has created 1 billion coins?
This was a misstatement because, on the date of the Article, the Issuer and the Fund had not yet created the SVCs.
Finally, the Article misstated that "Andra will hold a public offering of the tokens in the summer." This was a misstatement
because the Issuer and the Fund never intended to do a public offering. This Offering is a private placement of securities,
which is exempt from registration under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, Regulation S under the
Securities Act, and other applicable securities laws. In order to correct such misstatements, the Issuer issued a corrective
article on May 3.
Pursuant to the subscription agreement completed by each investor, each investor will represent that it has not relied
and did not rely on any communication, statement, or document of any kind (other than the Offering Materials [(as defined
in the subscription agreement)] and the statements therein) in connection with any investment decision related to
purchasing and/or acquiring the Interests, including, but not limited to, (A) any communications or statements on any
social media platform made by the Company, its affiliates, or unaffiliated third parties, and (B) any news articles, blog
posts, podcasts, or other third party publications.
Placement Aaents
The Fund has engaged US Capital Global Securities, LLC ("US Capital) to act as lead placement agent for the
Offering. US Capital is entitled to receive placement agent fees equal to three percent (3%) of the investment proceeds
received by the Fund attributable to US Capital's services. US Capital is registered with FINRA. The Fund may engage
other placement agents from time to time to provide placement agent services for the Offering. US Capital will manage
any such additional placement agents on behalf of the Fund and will be entitled to receive a portion of any investment
proceeds received by the Fund attributable to such additional placement agents' services.

a new Limited Partner or an increase in a Limited Partner's capital contribution, (iii) the
effective date of any withdrawal by a Limited Partner, (iv) the effective date of any
distribution to a Limited Partner, (v) the date when the Partnership dissolves or (vi) any
other day determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion.
At the end of each Fiscal Period, any net capital appreciation or net capital depreciation
will be allocated to the Capital Accounts of all of the Partners (including the General
Partner) in proportion to their respective opening capital accounts for the period.
At the end of each [fiscal year] of the Fund, and upon the effective date of any
withdrawal by a Limited Partner, 20% of the excess of the net capital appreciation
allocated to a Limited Partner's Capital Account for such fiscal year or for such fiscal
year to date (in each case less any amounts previously allocated to the Capital Account
of each Limited Partner in such fiscal year) over the Management Fee (as defined
below) debited to such Limited Partner's capital account for such year (less any
Management Fee previously debited to such Limited Partner's Capital Account in such
fiscal year) will be reallocated to the Capital Account of the General Partner (the
"Incentive Allocation"). At the discretion of the General Partner, the Capital Accounts
of the General Partner, the employees of the Manager and their spouses and children
will not be debited for the Incentive Allocation.

Distributions
Subscriptions
Withdrawals
Amounts available for distribution as a result of a realization in the Fund's portfolio
(each, a "Realization", and any such amounts, net of all applicable taxes, fees,
expenses and reserves (such reserves not to exceed thirty percent (30%) of the gross
proceeds of such Realization), 'Distributable Proceeds") will be divided among the
Limited Partners participating in the realized investment (including the General Partner
and the Manager to the extent of their respective Interests) pro rata in proportion to
each of their respective Capital Accounts.
Distributable Proceeds apportioned to
Limited Partners affiliated with the General Partner and the Manager who are not
subject to Incentive Allocation will be distributed to them and will not be subject to the
waterfall below. Each other Limited Partner's share of Distributable Proceeds will be
further divided and distributed in the following amounts and order of priority:
(iv)
First, one hundred percent (100%) to such Limited Partner until it has received
an aggregate amount of Distributable Proceeds equal to the aggregate amount
of capital invested by such Limited Partner in all realized portfolio investments
to date;
(v)
Second, one hundred percent (100%) to the General Partner until the General
Partner has received twenty percent (20%) of all Distributable Proceeds paid to
such Limited Partner to date, and
(vi)
Third, eighty percent (80%) to such Limited Partner and twenty percent (20%)
to the General Partner.
The Fund may admit new limited partners and accept subscriptions or additional
subscriptions for Interests on a (quarterly basis), provided that the General Partner, in its
sole discretion, may accept subscriptions and admit new Members at any other time
and/or reject subscriptions without having to assign any reason therefore (each, a
"Subscription Date").
Commencing upon the expiration of the (sixty (60) month] period following a
Subscription Date on which a Limited Partner subscribed for Interests (the "Lock-Up
Period"), such Limited Partner will have the right to request a partial or total withdrawal
of such Interests (i) at the end of the calendar year, or (ii) on such other dates as
determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion (each, a
"Withdrawal Date").
A withdrawal request must be received by the General Partner at least ninety (90) days
prior to a Withdrawal Date ("Withdrawal Deadline"). (The Fund intends to make
withdrawal payments in cash as soon as practicable (generally not more than thirty (30)
calendar days) after the Withdrawal Date, except in certain unusual circumstances.]
No withdrawal of less than all of a Limited Partner's Interests will be made unless the
remaining balance of such Limited Partner's Capital Account (including proceeds
attributable to Interests still subject to a Lock-Up Period) is valued at an amount equal to
at least (S.].
If sufficient cash is not available to process all requested withdrawals, as determined by
the General Partner in its sole discretion, the Fund will withdraw the Interests of all
Limited Partners that have requested a withdrawal prior to the Withdrawal Deadline out
of available cash on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate Capital Account value
then held by each withdrawing Limited Partner); provided that withdrawals on a non-pro
rata basis may be made in order to (i) avoid assets of the Fund becoming "plan assets"
of any plan, account, or arrangement for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), Section 4975 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code'), or any applicable similar law,
whether or not the withdrawing Member is subject to ERISA, the Code, or any similar
law, (ii) comply with any applicable laws, orders or regulations or (iii) for such other
reasons as may be determined by the General Partner in good faith, including without
limitation redemption of the SVCs as described in the SVC Memorandum.
WES-11282936389.4
EFTA00292445
If less than the requested amount of a Limited Partner's Interests are withdrawn as of a
Withdrawal Date for any reason, including the imposition of the Withdrawal Scale Back
(as defined below), such Limited Partner will be deemed to have made a withdrawal
request prior to the Withdrawal Deadline for the next scheduled Withdrawal Date,
unless such Limited Partner whose Interests were not fully withdrawn indicates that
such Limited Partner is no longer seeking a withdrawal of such Interests prior to the
Withdrawal Deadline for the next scheduled Withdrawal Date.
If a Limited Partner requests a withdrawal of more than ninety percent (90%) of its
Interests at any time, the General Partner may hold back any amount that would be
distributed in connection with the withdrawal of such Interests and subsequently pay
such held back amount (without regard to any existing withdrawal requests) on or prior
to the later of (i) thirty (30) days following the completion of the next annual audit of the
Fund and (ii) the last day of the calendar quarter during which such audit is completed.
Withdrawal Scale Back
If, with respect to any Withdrawal Date, the Fund receives requests for withdrawals that
in the aggregate exceed [15]% of the Net Asset Value of the Fund, the General Partner
may, in its sole discretion, reduce all such withdrawal requests to an amount in the
aggregate not less than [15]% of the Net Asset Value of the Fund (the "Withdrawal
Scale Back').
With respect to any Withdrawal Date for which the General Partner has applied the
Withdrawal Scale Back, withdrawal requests submitted to the Fund will be reduced pro
rata based on the Net Asset Value of each applicable Limited Partner's overall
investment in the Fund.

Co-Investment
Net Asset Value
Reporting
Allocation of Investment
Opportunities
The General Partner may offer the right to participate in investment opportunities of the
Fund to other private purchasers, groups, partnerships, corporations or other entities,
including, without limitation, any other funds managed by affiliates of the General
Partner whenever the General Partner so determines.
The "Net Asset Value" of the Fund will be the value as of the determination date of all
of the assets of the Fund, including accrued interest and dividends, less all of the
liabilities of the Fund (including any accrued expenses), as determined by the
Administrator acting in good faith.
The General Partner may suspend the determination of Net Asset Value during a period
in which: (i) any exchange on which a substantial portion of the Fund's portfolio assets
is listed is closed or dealings thereon are restricted or suspended; or (ii) there exists any
state of affairs which constitutes a state of emergency as a result of which (A) disposal
of a substantial part of the Fund's portfolio assets would not be reasonably practicable
and might seriously prejudice the Limited Partners or (B) it is not reasonably practicable
for the Administrator to determine Net Asset Value. All Limited Partners will be notified
in writing of any suspension and the termination of a suspension.
Annually, the Fund will furnish to all Limited Partners audited financial statements after
the end of each fiscal year as well as quarterly Capital Account statements. In addition,
the General Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Limited
Partners on a semiannual basis an update of the Net Asset Value of the Fund.
The General Partner, the Manager and their affiliates may in the future manage
additional funds and accounts (collectively, "Other Funds') that may have investment
mandates that overlap with those intended for the Fund. The investment policies, fee
arrangements and other circumstances of the Fund may vary from those of Other
Funds. While the General Partner, the Manager and their affiliates will seek to manage
any resulting conflicts of interest in good faith, there may be situations in which the
interests of the Fund with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities will
conflict with the interests of one or more of the Other Funds. Prospective purchasers
should carefully review the matters discussed under "—Conflicts of Interest"
WEST1282936389.4
12
EFTA00292447
Conflicts of Interest
Certain inherent conflicts of interest arise from the fact that the Manager and its affiliates
act on behalf of the Fund and will carry on substantial investment activities for other
clients (including, without limitation, Other Funds) in which the Fund will have no
interest. Therefore, in certain situations, the Manager may experience a conflict of
interest as a result of simultaneously managing the Fund and such Other Funds. The
investment objectives of certain other clients are substantially similar to those of the
Fund. The Manager will devote to the Fund so much of its time as it deems necessary
or appropriate in connection with the Fund's activities.
No Advisory Committee
The Fund is not and shall not be required to maintain an advisory committee. The
General Partner may, however, at its discretion, appoint an advisory committee or
independent committee to (i) review and advise the General Partner regarding matters
involving conflicts of interest submitted to them by the General Partner, (ii) vote as to
such matters as to which the limited partners of the Fund may have consent rights as a
matter of law or regulation applicable to the Fund (e.g. approval of investments by the
Fund in an Other Fund), and (iii) render such other advice and counsel as is requested
by the General Partner in connection with the Fund's investments and other matters.
Exculpation/Indemnification
Subject to any limitations under applicable law, the Fund and the Token Issuer shall
indemnify (i) the General Partner and its members, the Manager and its members, each
affiliate thereof, each officer, director, partner, member, employee, manager,
stockholder of any of the foregoing and any other person who serves or provides
advisory services and resources at the request of the Manager or the General Partner
as an officer, director, partner, member, manager, employee or agent of any other entity
(in each case, an "Indemnitee), for any loss, damage or expense incurred by such
Indemnitee or to which such Indemnitee may be subject by reason of its activities on
behalf of the Fund or the Token Issuer or in furtherance of the interest of the Fund or
the Token Issuer or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the Fund and its
investments or the Token Issuer, except that this indemnity will not apply to losses
arising primarily from such Indemnitee's own gross negligence, willful misconduct or
fraud, each as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the
exhaustion of all appeals, or a criminal conviction of (by a court of competent jurisdiction
after the exhaustion of all appeals) or admission by consent (including a plea of no
contest) to a material violation of applicable securities laws or any rule or regulation
promulgated thereunder (collectively, "Disabling Conduct).
To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, none of the Indemnitees will be
liable for any act or omission arising out of or in connection with the conduct of the
business of the Fund or the Token Issuer unless such act or omission arose primarily
from Disabling Conduct of such Indemnitee.
Borrowing
The Fund may not incur indebtedness for borrowed money, other than obtaining interim
financing to consummate purchases of portfolio investments or cover expenses or
liabilities prior to receiving proceeds of pending asset dispositions.
Transfer of Interests
A Limited Partner may not sell, assign or transfer any of its Interests without the prior
written consent of the General Partner, which may be granted or withheld in the sole
discretion of the General Partner.
Exchange of Interests for
Any SVCs not purchased in the SVC Offering will be reserved for future issuance to
SVCs
Limited Partners other than the Issuer in exchange for such Limited Partners' limited
partnership interests in the Fund. Any Limited Partner may, notwithstanding that such
Limited Partner's Interests may be subject to the Lock-up Period, convert its Interests to
SVCs upon notice to the General Partner. Each such Limited Partner converting its
Interests to SVCs will be required to execute a Limited Partner Transfer and Token
Purchase Agreement pursuant to which such Limited Partner will transfer its entire
limited partnership interest in the Fund to the Issuer and will receive SVCs the
aggregate Net Asset Value of which will be equal to the Net Asset Value of such limited
partner's limited partnership interest in the Fund. Each transferring Limited Partner will
make the attestations, warranties and representations set forth in the Limited Partner
Transfer and Token Purchase Agreement, which will include without limitation the
attestations, warranties and representations set forth in the token purchase agreement

executed by SVC Holders prior to issuance of the SVCs.
U.S. Investment Company
Act of 1940
The Fund expects to be exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act,
by virtue of one of the exceptions set forth in Section 3(c) of such act, and will take such
steps as necessary to maintain that exemption.
U.S. Investment Advisers Act
None of the General Partner, the Manager and their affiliates is currently registered
of 1940
under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act).
However, either or both of the Manager and the General Partner may be required to
become registered under the Advisers Act or under U.S. state law applicable to it as an
investment adviser in the future. If the Manager or the General Partner is required in the
future to become registered under the Advisers Act, at such time a copy of Part 2 of its
SEC Form ADV. which constitutes its regulatory disclosure brochure, will be made
available as required. The additional regulatory requirements may be costly and/or
burdensome to the Fund and could result in the imposition of restrictions and limitations
on the operations of the Fund, including the disclosure of information to United States
regulatory authorities regarding the operations of the Fund (regardless of whether any
of the Manager, the General Partner or their affiliates is required to be registered as an
investment adviser).
Regulation
Amendments to the Fund
Agreement
Tax Consequences
The Fund is a regulated mutual fund for the purposes of the Mutual Funds Law and is
registered with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority ("CIMA") pursuant to section
4(3) of that law. This offering memorandum has been filed with CIMA. Such registration
does not imply that CIMA or any other regulatory authority in the Cayman Islands has
approved this offering memorandum or the offering of the Interests.
Except as otherwise set forth in the exempted limited partnership agreement of the
Fund (as may be amended from time to time, the "Fund Agreement'), the Fund
Agreement may be modified or amended at any time by the General Partner.
Prospective purchasers are advised to consult their tax advisors as to the
consequences of an investment in the Fund. The tax consequences of an investment in
the Fund are uncertain and a purchaser must seek its own tax advice in connection with
an investment in the Fund.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Conflicts of interest exist and may arise in the future as a result of the relationships between each of the General
Partner (and its affiliates), the Manager (and its affiliates), the Fund (and its affiliates), and the limited partners. By
acquiring Interests, each limited partner shall be deemed to have acknowledged the existence of any such actual or
potential conflicts of interest and to have irrevocably waived any claim such limited partner may have with respect to any
liability arising from the existence of any such conflicts of interest.
The following discussion highlights certain potential conflicts of interest and the procedures that will be used to
address the conflicts, and should be carefully evaluated before making an investment in the Fund. The following
discussion shall not be construed as an exhaustive discussion of all potential conflicts.
The members of the General Partner, the Manager and their respective executive teams will not be required to
manage the Manager, the General Partner or the Fund as their sole and exclusive function, and they are entitled to have
other business interests and may engage in other business activities in addition to those relating to the Fund. Each of the
General Partner, the Manager and the members of their respective executive teams may also form and devote their time
to other future investment funds with activities similar to those of the Fund. The members of the General Partner's and the
Manager's executive teams may also have conflicts of interest in allocating time, services and functions among the Fund
and other business ventures. Conflicts may arise in the allocation of investment opportunities and the time of the
members of the General Partner's and the Manager's executive teams' time among the Fund, on the one hand, and
existing investments managed by the members of the General Partner's or the Manager's executive team as well as
future funds organized by the General Partner's or the Manager's executive team and other business activities, on the
other hand. The members of the General Partner's and the Manager's executive teams are not required to refrain from
such management activities or to disgorge profits from such activities.
Advisors to the General Partner, the Manager and the Fund are not required to present investment opportunities to
the Manager or the Fund, as applicable, and various conflicts of interest may arise between such advisors, on the one
hand, and the Manager and/or the Fund, on the other hand.
Whenever a potential conflict of interest arises between the General Partner, the Manager or their affiliates, on the
one hand, and the Fund or the limited partners, on the other hand, then the General Partner may resolve that conflict
acting in good faith in accordance with the terms of the Fund's governing documents. Unless the resolution of a conflict is
specifically provided for in the governing documents of the Fund, the General Partner may consider any factors it
determines in its sole discretion to consider when resolving a conflict, including without limitation its own interests and the
interests of its affiliates, in resolving such conflicts. If the General Partner acting in good faith determines that the
resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest is either (i) on terms which are, in the aggregate,
no less favorable to the Fund than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties, or (ii) fair
and reasonable to the Fund, taking into account the totality of the relationships among the parties involved, including other
transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Fund, then it will be presumed that in making its
decision the General Partner acted in good faith, and in any proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Fund or any other
person, the person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding will have the burden of overcoming such presumption.
The General Partner or the Manager (subject to the advisory agreement with the Fund) may enter into contractual
arrangements with any of its affiliates on the Fund's behalf. None of the agreements, contracts and arrangements
between the Fund on the one hand, and the Manager and its affiliates on the other, are or will be the result of arm's length
negotiations. The Manager and its affiliates will have no obligation to permit the Fund to use any facilities or assets of the
Manager and its affiliates, except as may be provided in contracts entered into specifically dealing with such use. There
will not be any obligation on the Manager and its affiliates to enter into any contracts of this kind.
The foregoing summary of conflicts does not purport to be a complete explanation of all the conflicts involved in
investing in the Interests. Potential purchasers are urged to read this entire offering memorandum and consult their
advisors before making a determination whether to invest in the Interests.

NET ASSET VALUE
The Net Asset Value is calculated as the sum of the estimated fair value of the investments held by the Fund plus
cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including the operating expenses, estimated accrued expenses and any other
appropriate reserves for contingent liabilities), expressed in USD. The principal amounts of any investments (or the
current market value of the investments), currency balances, and other assets of the Fund, the value of which is
expressed in currency other than USD, shall be valued after taking into account the market rate or rates of exchange in
force on the applicable valuation date.
For investments with an active market, fair value is deemed to equal the price of the last market transaction at the
date and time Net Asset Value is calculated, as recorded by the three (3) primary exchanges by volume on which the
security is traded, or, it no sale was reported on the valuation date on the primary exchange where that security is traded,
the investment will be valued at the last sales price on that exchange when that investment was last traded. For
investments without an active market, fair value is estimated by employing industry standard methods, including but not
limited to, cost basis, adjusted price of recent investment rounds, entity valuations based on recent third-party
investments, valuation by an independent securities expert selected by the General Partner and valuation of other public
or private comparable investments.
The above valuation procedures may be modified by the General Partner in its sole discretion, if and to the extent that
the General Partner shall determine that such modifications are advisable in order to reflect factors which may impact the
value or cost of any investment, including co restrictions upon marketability (including the suspension or termination of
trading of any liquid investment in any market), (ii) the expected costs, including brokerage commissions, of liquidating
any liquid investment or other asset, or (iii) any distribution made with respect to any liquid investment or any accruals
thereon.
All values assigned to securities, instruments, and other assets by the General Partner will be final and conclusive.
The Limited Partners shall not have the right to audit the valuations made by the General Partner. The General Partner
reserves the right to delegate valuation services to the Manager, its affiliates or third parties in the future.

CERTAIN CAYMAN ISLANDS TAXATION CONSIDERATIONS
The Cayman Islands at present impose no taxes on profit, income, capital gains or appreciations in value of the Fund.
There are also currently no taxes imposed in the Cayman Islands by withholding or otherwise on the limited partners on
profit, income, capital gains or appreciations in respect of their interests nor any taxes on the interests in the nature of
estate duty, inheritance or capital transfer tax.
The Fund is registered as an exempted limited partnership, under Cayman Islands law. As such, it has applied for and
expects to obtain an undertaking from the Governor-in-Cabinet that, for a period of fifty years from the date of the grant of
the undertaking, no law which is thereafter enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits or
income or gains or appreciations will apply to the Fund 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 will be payable on or in
respect of its interests, debentures or other obligations of the Fund, or by way of the withholding in whole or in part of any
relevant payment. No capital gains or stamp duties are levied in the Cayman Islands on the issue, transfer or redemption
of interests.
The Cayman Islands have entered into a Model 1(b) (non-reciprocal) intergovernmental agreement ("US IGA") with
the United States to give effect to the United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA") and have made
amendments to the Tax Information Authority Law (2017 Revision) ("TPA Last) and enacted the Tax Information Authority
(International Tax Compliance) (United States of America) Regulations, 2014 ("US Regulations", together with the TIA
Law, the "Enabling Legislation") to give effect to the US IGA. Cayman Islands financial institutions ("Fit) that comply
with the US IGA and the Enabling Legislation will be treated as satisfying the due diligence and reporting requirements of
FATCA and accordingly will be treated as participating foreign financial institutions ("Participating Fit) for the purposes
of FATCA. Participating Fls will be 'deemed compliant' with FATCA and will not be subject to withholding tax and will not
be required to close recalcitrant accounts.
The US IGA categorizes Fls as either 'Reporting' or 'Non-Reporting Fls'. By default, all Cayman Fls are Reporting Fls,
unless they qualify as Non-Reporting Fls. The categories of Non-Reporting FIs are set out in an annex to the US IGA. A
Reporting Fl is not required to enter into a separate agreement directly with the United States Internal Revenue Service
("IRS'), but must: (i) register with the IRS to obtain a Global Intermediary Identification Number; (ii) register with the
Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority ("TM"); (iii) conduct due diligence on its investors to identify whether accounts
are held directly or indirectly by 'Specified US Persons' (as defined in the US IGA); and (iv) make annual filings with the
TIA. The TIA will automatically exchange such information with the IRS. While a Non-Reporting Fl will not be subject to
the registration and reporting requirements under the US IGA, it will need to self-certify its FATCA status to withholding
agents to avoid the imposition of a 30% withholding tax on certain U.S. source income.
Under the terms of the US IGA and the relevant regulations, FATCA withholding tax will not be imposed on payments
made to the Fund, or on payments made by the Fund to an account holder, except to the extent the Fund fails to comply
with its obligations under FATCA or the US IGA, or its investors or account holders otherwise fail to comply with any other
obligations they may have to the Fund with respect to the Fund's obligations under FATCA and/or the US IGA, as
applicable. FATCA withholding tax, if any, is generally at the rate of 30% of the relevant payment. Limited partners will be
required to furnish appropriate documentation certifying as to their US or non-US tax status and the identity of their
controlling persons, together with such additional tax information as the Fund may from time to time request to enable the
Fund to comply with the US Regulations.
In February 2014, the OECD announced the 'Common Reporting Standard' ("CRS), intended to become an
international standard for financial account reporting. The CRS requires the collection by each participant jurisdiction of
information regarding tax residents of other CRS participant jurisdictions. In October 2014, the Cayman Islands
Government signed up to the multi-lateral competent authority agreement ("MCAA") that is being adopted by those
countries committing to the CRS. The Cayman Islands Government and other governments that have signed up to the
CRS and the MCAA (Future Reporting Jurisdictions) are in the process of implementing (or will implement) local CRS-
enabling legislation.
All Cayman Islands FIs (with limited exceptions) are required to register with the TIA for purposes of FATCA and the
CRS.
By investing (or continuing to invest) in the Fund, limited partners shall be deemed to acknowledge that:
(i) the Fund (or its agent) may be required to disclose to the TIA certain confidential information in relation to the
limited partners, including but not limited to, the limited partner's name, address, tax identification number (if
any), social security number (if any) and certain information relating to the limited partner's investment;

(ii) the TIA may be required to automatically exchange information as outlined above with the IRS and other
foreign fiscal authorities located in Future Reporting Jurisdictions;
(iii) the Fund (or its agent) may be required to disclose to the IRS and other foreign fiscal authorities located in
Future Reporting Jurisdictions certain confidential information when registering with such authorities and it

compulsory redemption or withdrawal of the limited partners concerned;
(vi) to the extent the Fund incurs any costs or suffers any withholding as a result of a limited partners failure, or is
required by law to apply a withholding against the limited partner. it may set oft such amount against any
payment otherwise due from the Fund to the limited partner or may allocate such amount to the interests held
by such limited partner; and
(vii) no limited partner affected by any such action or remedy shall have any claim against the Fund (or its agent)
for any form of damages or liability as a result of actions taken or remedies pursued by or on behalf of the
Fund in order to comply with any of the US IGA or the MCAA, or any of the relevant underlying legislation.
Limited partners are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisers regarding their tax status and the applicability
of this legislation on their investment in the Fund.
Other Jurisdictions
It is possible that certain dividends. interest and other income received by the Fund from sources within certain
countries may be subject to withholding taxes imposed by such countries. The Fund may also be subject to capital gains
taxes or other taxes in some of the countries where it purchases and sells securities or otherwise conducts business. It is
impossible to predict in advance the rate of tax that will be paid since the amount of the assets of the Fund to be invested
in various countries is uncertain.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a summary of certain aspects of the U.S. federal income taxation of the Fund and its Limited
Partners that a prospective Limited Partner should consider. This summary does not attempt to present all aspects of the
U.S. federal income tax laws or any state, local or foreign laws that may affect the Fund or its Limited Partners. In
addition, this summary does not consider the circumstances of particular Limited Partners, some of which (such as
financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, brokers or dealers in securities, traders who
elect to mark their investment to market, and persons subject to the alternative minimum tax) are subject to special tax
regimes. This summary is general in nature and should not be construed as tax advice to any prospective Limited
Partner. No ruling has been or will be requested from the IRS and no assurance can be given that the IRS will agree with
the tax consequences described in this summary. The following discussion assumes that each prospective purchaser will
acquire Interests as a capital asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment).
For purposes of this section, a "U.S. Partner means a Limited Partner that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
is (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation (or an entity taxable as a corporation)
created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any state or political subdivision thereof or therein,
including the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the
source thereof: or (iv) a trust with respect to which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision
over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions, or a trust
that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. federal Treasury Regulations (the "Treasury Regulations") to be
treated as a U.S. person. For purposes of this section, a Ron-U.S. Partner" means a Limited Partner that is neither a
U.S. Limited Partner nor a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
A 'U.S. Tax-Exempt Partner" is a U.S. Partner that is subject to Section 501(a) of the Code. U.S. Tax-Exempt Partners
and Non-U.S. Partners are discussed separately below.
The following discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code"),
existing, proposed and temporary Treasury Regulations and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, in each
case as available on the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and
could affect the tax consequences described below.
If a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Interests,
the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of
the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding Interests should consult its tax advisor regarding the tax consequences
of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Interests.
Unless otherwise noted below, the following discussion does not address any tax consequences relating to the
acquisition, ownership and disposition of SVCs by Limited Partners, which are separately addressed in the SVC
Memorandum.
Each prospective purchaser should consult with its own tax advisor in order to fully understand the U.S.
federal, state, local and foreign income tax consequences of acquiring Interests. No legal or tax advice is hereby
given to any prospective purchaser.
Classification of the Fund
Subject to the discussion of "publicly traded partnerships" set forth below, a Cayman Islands exempted limited
partnership, such as the Fund, generally will be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless it
files an election with the IRS to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation. The Fund does not intend to file
such election, and intends to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
An entity that would otherwise be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes may
nonetheless be classified as an association taxable as a corporation if it is a "publicly traded partnership." A publicly
traded partnership is any partnership the interests in which are traded on an established securities market or are readily
tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof). Interests in the Fund will not be traded on an
established securities market. Treasury Regulations concerning the classification of partnerships as publicly traded
partnerships provide certain safe harbors under which interests in a partnership will not be considered readily tradable on
a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof). The Fund may not qualify for any of those safe harbors. If the
Fund were taxed as a corporation, its earnings would be subject to U.S. federal income taxation, and any distributions to
the Limited Partners would be taxable as dividends to them to the extent of the earnings and profits of the Fund.
However, if the IRS were to assert that Interests in the Fund were treated as readily tradable on a secondary
market (or the substantial equivalent thereof), the Fund expects to be exempt from classification as a publicly traded
23
WES-11282936389A
EFTA00292458
partnership taxable as a corporation under an exemption that would apply if 90% or more of its gross income consisted of
"qualifying income" within the meaning of Section 7704(d) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
"Qualifying income" includes: interest (excluding certain amounts contingent on the income or profits of any person and
certain amounts derived in the conduct of a financial or insurance business); dividends; gain from the sale or other
disposition of stocks, securities, or foreign currencies; and other income derived from investments in stocks, securities, or
currencies. However, no assurances can be given that the Interests in the Fund will not be treated as readily tradable on
a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof) or that the Fund will meet the gross income test discussed
above in any given year. The discussion herein assumes that the Fund will be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes.
Taxation of U.S. Partners
In General. As a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Fund is not itself subject to U.S. federal
income tax. The Fund will distribute annually to each of its Limited Partners a form (Schedule K-1) showing such Limited
Partner's distributive share of the Fund's item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit. Each U.S. Partner is required to
report separately on such U.S. Partner's U.S. federal income tax return the U.S. Partner's distributive share of the Fund's
net long-term capital gain or loss, net short-term capital gain or loss, net ordinary income, and deductions and credits.
Each U.S. Partner will be liable for any taxes owed upon the U.S. Partner's distributive share of the income or gains
realized by the Fund, and may claim deductions for the U.S. Partner's distributive share of the Fund's losses and
deductions and credits for the U.S. Partner's distributive share of the Fund's credits, to the extent allowed under the Code
and except as noted below.
Each U.S. Partner is taxed on the U.S. Partner's distributive share of the Fund's taxable income or gain
regardless of whether the U.S. Partner has received or will receive any distribution of cash from the Fund. Thus, in any
particular year, a U.S. Partner's distributive share of taxable income from the Fund (and the taxes imposed on that
income) could exceed the amount of cash, if any, such U.S. Partner receives or is entitled to withdraw from the Fund, and
could be significantly greater or less than such U.S. Partner's share of the net economic gain or loss of the Fund during
the same period.
In addition, the Fund may: (I) invest in certain securities, such as original issue discount obligations, preferred
stock with redemption or repayment premiums, "section 1256 contracts" or equity in controlled foreign corporations, other
non-U.S. entities or entities treated as transparent for tax purposes, or (ii) engage in transactions such as debt
restructurings or foreclosures that could cause the Fund, and consequently the U.S. Partners, to recognize taxable
income without receiving any cash. The Fund may also incur expenses that are required to be capitalized for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. Thus, taxable income allocated to a U.S. Partner may exceed cash distributions, if any, made to
such U.S. Partner, in which case such U.S. Limited Partner would have to satisfy tax liabilities arising from an investment
in the Fund from its own funds.
U.S. Partners who are individuals are entitled to reduced tax rates on the receipt of "qualified dividends". Qualified
dividends received by such individuals are subject to tax at the same reduced rates that are imposed on long-term capital
gains. Qualified dividends include dividends received from domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations, which
are non-U.S. corporations that are eligible for the benefits of specified income tax treaties with the U.S. A non-U.S.
corporation is also treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid by that corporation if the shares
with respect to which such dividends are paid are readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S.
Notwithstanding the above, however, to the extent that U.S. Partners who are individuals have "Subpart F" income
inclusions described in Sections 951 and 952 of the Code, such income inclusions do not constitute "qualified dividends."
Additionally, amounts paid by a PFIC (as defined below) are generally not "qualified dividends." Prospective investors
should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing rules to their particular circumstances.
The Code and the Treasury Regulations permit allocations of income and loss to be made among partners in
accordance with a partnership agreement, provided that such allocations have "substantial economic effect." Although it
is believed that the allocations pursuant to the Fund Agreement should be respected for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, the IRS may assert that the Fund's income and loss must be allocated pursuant to some other method, in
which event a U.S. Partner's share of income and loss of the Fund for U.S. federal income tax purposes might be other
than as provided for in the Fund Agreement.
Cash distributions and withdrawals, to the extent they do not exceed a U.S. Partner's basis in the U.S. Partner's
interest in the Fund, will not result in taxable income to that U.S. Partner, but will reduce the U.S. Partner's tax basis in
such U.S. Partner's interest in the Fund by the amount distributed or withdrawn. Cash distributed to a U.S. Partner in
excess of the basis of the U.S. Partner's interest in the Fund is generally taxable either as capital gain or ordinary income,
depending on the circumstances. A distribution of property other than cash generally will not result in taxable income or
24
WEST1282936389.4
EFTA00292459
loss to the U.S. Partner to whom it is distributed (except to the extent such distribution is treated as made in exchange for
such U.S. Partner's share of the Fund's unrealized receivables).
A 3.8% surtax will be imposed on the "net investment income" of certain U.S. Partners who are U.S. citizens and
resident aliens, and the undistributed "net investment income" of certain estates and trusts. "Net investment income" is
generally defined as the sum of (i) gross income from interest, dividends, annuities, royalties and rents, (ii) gross income
derived from (x) a passive trade or business, or (y) a trade or business of trading in financial instruments or commodities,
and (iii) net gain from the disposition of investment property, less (in the case of each of (i), (ii) and (iii)) allowable
deductions properly allocated to such gross income or net gain. Under applicable Treasury Regulations, "financial
instruments" are defined to include equity, debt, options, forwards, futures, notional principal contracts, and any other
derivatives. The applicable Treasury Regulations include special rules for determining net investment income with
respect to investments in passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") and controlled foreign corporations ("CFC"). It is
anticipated that a U.S. Partner's allocable share of the Fund's gross income and/or net gain, as well as any net gain from
the redemption or sale of an interest in the Fund, generally will be induded in the U.S. Partner's "net investment income"
subject to this 3.8% surtax. U.S. Partners should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this surtax on
their ownership and disposition of an interest in the Fund.
Under Section 7701(o), which codifies long-standing common law doctrine, the IRS may impose penalties on
taxpayers who engage in certain transactions that reduce U.S. federal income tax but that lack "economic substance?
Although the General Partner does not intend for the Fund to engage in these types of transactions, it is possible that the
IRS could assert that certain transactions in respect of the Fund, either directly or through flow through entities treated as
transparent for U.S. federal income tax purposes, lack economic substance.
Certain Non-U.S. Investments. Pursuant to various "anti-deferral" provisions of the Code (the "Subpart F" and
PFIC provisions), any investments by the Fund in certain foreign corporations may cause a U.S. Partner in the Fund to (i)
recognize taxable income prior to the Fund's receipt of distributable proceeds, (ii) pay an interest charge on receipts that
are deemed as having been deferred and/or (iii) recognize ordinary income that, but for the "anti-deferral" provisions,
would have been treated as long-term or short-term capital gain. In general terms, a foreign corporation will be classified
as a PFIC for a given taxable year if either (i) 75% or more of its gross income in such year is passive income or (ii) 50%
or more of its assets in such year are held for the production of or produce passive income.
If the Fund invests in a PFIC, the Fund may be able to make an election to have the PFIC treated as a qualified
electing fund ("OEF"), in which event each U.S. Partner in the Fund will avoid certain of the potential adverse
consequences referred to above, and instead will be taxed currently on such U.S. Partner's proportionate share of the
ordinary eamings and net long term capital gains of the PFIC whether or not the earnings or gains are distributed. If the
PFIC realizes a net loss in a particular year, under the QEF rules, that loss will not pass through to the U.S. Partners nor
will it be netted against the income of any other PFIC with respect to which a QEF election has been made. There is no
assurance that the Fund will be able to obtain from any company that is a PFIC the necessary information, on an annual
basis, to permit the Master Fund to make an election to treat any such PFIC as a QEF. The Fund also may have the
option to elect to mark stock in a PFIC to market at the end of every year, provided the PFIC stock is considered
"marketable" under applicable Treasury Regulations. All such mark to market gains and losses (to the extent allowed) will
be considered ordinary income. However, this election may not be available for certain types of investments made by the
Fund.
Foreign Currency Transactions. If the Fund engages in transactions involving foreign currencies, the Fund and
the U.S. Partners in the Fund may experience foreign currency gain or loss with respect to those investments. In general,
foreign currency gain or loss is treated as ordinary income or loss. U.S. Partners should consult with their individual tax
advisors with respect to the tax treatment of foreign currency gain or loss.
Sale or Disposition of Partnership Interest. If a U.S. Partner sells or exchanges its interest in the Fund (including
in exchange for SVCs), it will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized
from the sale, or exchange and its adjusted tax basis for its interest. A Limited Partner's amount realized will be measured
by the sum of the cash or the fair market value of other property (including any SVCs) received.
Unless otherwise noted herein, tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of SVCs
by Limited Partners are not addressed herein and are separately addressed in the SVC Memorandum. Prospective
purchasers should review the SVC Memorandum and are strongly urged to consult their tax advisor in order to
fully understand the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax consequences of acquiring,
owning and disposing SVCs.
Taxation of U.S. Tax-Exempt Partners
25
WEST1282936389.4
EFTA00292460
Except as described in the following paragraph, the Fund's income is expected to consist principally of dividends,
interest and capital gain from corporate stock and debt instruments — types of income that (subject to the discussion of
debt-financing below) are expressly excluded from "unrelated business taxable income" within the meaning of Section 512
of the Code ("UBTI"). However, the Fund may hold certain flow-through investments that generate UBTI. Each U.S. Tax-
Exempt Partner generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its share of any UBTI earned by the Fund (and the
receipt of UBTI could give rise to additional tax liability for certain limited categories of tax-exempt investors). A U.S. Tax-
Exempt Partner with an interest in more than one unrelated trade or business may be required to separately compute its
UBTI with respect to each trade or business. As a result, deductions or losses from one unrelated trade or business may
not be used to offset UBTI from a different unrelated trade or business.
A tax-exempt organization under Section 501(a) of the Code is also subject to U.S. federal income tax with
respect to its "unrelated debt-financed income" (and its allocable share of the Fund's "unrelated debt-financed income")
pursuant to Section 514 of the Code. In general, unrelated debt-financed income consists of (i) income derived by a tax-
exempt organization (directly or through a partnership such as the Fund) from income-producing property with respect to
which there is "acquisition indebtedness" at any time during the taxable year and (ii) gains derived by a tax-exempt
organization (directly or through a partnership) from the disposition of property with respect to which there is "acquisition
indebtedness" at any time during the 12-month period ending with the date of such disposition. The law is not entirely
clear, however, as to the proper way to determine what portion of a tax-exempt investor's share of a partnership's profits
is attributable to the use of any leverage and, therefore, "unrelated debt financed income." Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that the IRS will accept the method of computation used by a tax-exempt investor in computing its share of
"unrelated debt financed income."
To the extent a U.S. Tax-Exempt Partner borrows money to finance its investment in the Fund, such U.S. Tax-
Exempt Partner would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of its income which is unrelated debt-financed
income even though such income may constitute an item otherwise excludable from UBTI, such as interest.
While the Fund does not expect U.S. Tax-Exempt Partners to realize significant amounts of UBTI as a result of an
investment in the Fund. a U.S. Tax-Exempt Partner may realize UBTI as a result of its investment in the Fund.
Prospective tax-exempt investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding all of the tax
consequences of an investment in the Fund.
Taxation of Non-U.S. Partners
U.S. Trade or Business. A Non-U.S. Partner generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes at the rate
of 30% (or such lower rate provided by an applicable tax treaty) on its share of Fund income from dividends, interest
(other than interest that constitutes portfolio interest within the meaning of the Code), and certain other income that is not
treated as "effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States," as defined in Section
864 of the Code ("ECI").
The Fund intends to take the position (and this discussion generally assumes) that the Fund is not directly
engaged in a U.S. trade or business by virtue of its own activities or the activities of the General Partner and its affiliates.
Accordingly, it is expected that a Non-U.S. Partner's share of the Fund's gain from the sale of portfolio investments (other
than flow-through investments) generally should not be subject to U.S. capital gains tax unless the investment constitutes
a U.S. real property interest (which may include stock in a corporation if 50% or more of the assets of the corporation, by
value, were U.S. real property interests at any time during the Fund's direct or indirect ownership of such corporation's
securities in the prior five years).
The Fund may make one or more flow-through investments that conduct a U.S. trade or business; to the extent
that it does, the Fund will be deemed to be engaged in the underlying U.S. trade or business conducted by such flow-
through investments. In such case, (i) a non-U.S. Partner's share of the Fund's ECI (induding operating income from a
flow-through Investment and gain from sale of equity interests in, or the assets of, such flow-through investment) will be
subject to tax at normal graduated U.S. federal income tax rates and, if the Non-U.S. Partner is a corporation for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to U.S. branch profits tax, (ii) some or all of the gain on a disposition of
a Non-U.S. Partner's interest in the Fund will be treated as ECI to the extent such gain is attributable to assets of the Fund
that generate ECI (and the acquirer in such disposition will be required to withhold 10% of the amount realized by such
non-U.S. Partner on such disposition), (iii) the non-U.S. Partner generally will be required to file a U.S. federal income tax
return if the Fund is deemed to be engaged in a U.S. trade or business (even if no income allocated to the non-U.S.
Partner is ECI), and (iv) the Fund will be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax with respect to the Non-U.S.
Partner's share of Fund income that is ECI. Similar consequences will apply if the Fund were treated as being directly
engaged in a U.S. trade or business by virtue of its own activities or the activities of the General Partner and its affiliates
26
WEST1282936389.4
EFTA00292461
(although such treatment is not expected, based on current U.S. federal income tax law).
Provided that the Fund is not engaged in the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, the U.S. federal income tax
liability of a Non-U.S. Partner in the Fund with respect to that Partner's interest in the Fund generally will be limited to
withholding tax on certain gross income from U.S. sources generated by the Fund as long as the Non-U.S. Partner
undertakes no activities in the United States (determined without regard to its investment in the Fund) that would cause
that Non-U.S. Partner to be engaged in the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and, unless otherwise
indicated, the discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of Non-U.S. Partners is based on that
assumption. Further, if the Fund is not engaged in the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and if the Fund
withholds and remits the proper amounts to the U.S. government, Non-U.S. Partners in the Fund that are individuals or
corporations will not be required to file U.S. federal income tax returns or pay additional U.S. federal income taxes solely
as a result of their investments in the Fund (though Non-U.S. Partners treated as trusts for U.S. federal income tax
purposes are subject to special rules). If the Fund is not engaged in the conduct of a trade or business in the United
States, Non-U.S. Partners in the Fund's shares of income and gains from sources other than the United States (e.g.,
generally, interest or dividends paid by non-U.S. portfolio companies and gains realized on the disposition of securities of
portfolio companies) will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.
Treatment of Dividends and Interest from U.S. Sources. Certain categories of income from U.S. sources realized
by the Fund, such as dividends and interest, generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, collected by withholding,
at a 30% rate on the gross amount of that income allocable to Non-U.S. Partners investing in the Fund. Interest that
qualifies as "portfolio interest" is exempt from the 30% withholding tax. In addition, a Non-U.S. Partner whose distributive
share of such income is subject to this U.S. federal income tax withholding may be able to claim an exemption or a
reduced rate of withholding under a tax treaty or convention between the United States and that Partner's country of
residence. A Non-U.S. Partner investing in the Fund resident in a jurisdiction with which the United States has a tax
treaty, however, will not be entitled to the benefits of that treaty with respect to that Non-U.S. Partner's distributive share
of the Fund's income and gains unless, under the law of that non-U.S. jurisdiction, the Fund is treated as tax transparent
and certain other conditions are satisfied. Finally, to claim the benefits of a tax treaty to reduce U.S. federal income tax
withholding on U.S.-source interest and dividends paid on securities that are not actively traded, a Non-U.S. Partner
investing in the Fund (and any direct or indirect equity owner of a Non-U.S. Partner investing in the Fund and seeking
treaty benefits for itself because the Non-U.S. Partner is considered fiscally transparent in the equity owner's jurisdiction)
generally will be required to obtain a U.S. taxpayer identification number from the IRS and may be required to provide that
number and certain other documentation to the Fund. Other exemptions may be available for certain types of interest
income.
Treatment of Capital Gains. Under current U.S. law, in general, capital gains realized or deemed realized by the
Fund or any capital gains realized by a Non-U.S. Partner upon sale or exchange of its interest in the Fund will not be
subject to U.S. federal income taxation or tax withholding when allocated to a Non-U.S. Partner in the Fund unless that
Non-U.S. Partner is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in
which such gains are realized and certain other conditions are satisfied and the Fund and such Non-U.S. Partner are not
engaged in a trade or business in the United States.
This general rule does not apply to gains attributable to a trade or business conducted in the United States or
gains attributable to dispositions of securities of any "United States real property holding corporation" (" USRPHC),
defined in Section 897 of the Code as, in general, a company with 50% or more of the fair market value of its business
assets consisting of interests in U.S. real estate and related assets. Capital gains attributable to sales by the Fund of the
securities of a USRPHC (other than debt securities with no equity component) may be subject to U.S. federal income tax,
collected initially by withholding. Non-U.S. Partners in the Fund would also be required to file U.S. federal income tax
returns, and might be liable for U.S. federal income tax in excess of the amount collected by withholding. Similarly, Non-
U.S. Partners in the Fund could become subject to U.S. federal income tax, and tax return filing obligations, as a result of
transfers of their Interests in the Fund at a time when the Fund owned stock of any USRPHC, although certain exceptions
may apply. Furthermore, even if a company in which the Fund has made an investment is not a USRPHC at the time of
the investment, it is possible that such company subsequently could become a USRPHC.
Currency Conversion Issues. Non-U.S. Partners in the Fund will be required to make their capital contributions to
the Fund in U.S. dollars, and any cash distributions made by the Fund will be made in U.S. dollars. Profits or losses
realized by Non-U.S. Partners on the conversion of other currencies into U.S. dollars, or of U.S. dollars into other
currencies will not be reflected in the Partners' capital accounts and will not affect the amounts distributable by the Fund
to its Non-U.S. Partners.
Tax Return Disclosure and Investor List Requirements
27
WEST1282936389.4
EFTA00292462
The IRS has issued Treasury Regulations that are aimed at obtaining disclosure by certain taxpayers, including
partnerships and partners that engage in so-called "tax shelter transactions. Because of the broad wording of these
Treasury Regulations, even when a fund or other ordinary pooled investment vehicle, such as the Fund, has not been
organized or operated to provide lax shelter benefits to its partners, the partnership and its partners may be required to
make disclosure to the IRS if the partnership or its partners participate in certain transactions identified in these Treasury
Regulations. Significant monetary penalties apply to a failure to comply with these disclosure requirements. Certain
states (including New York, California and Illinois) may also have similar disclosure requirements.
A partnership or partner that is required to disclose its participation in a transaction to the IRS does so by
completing Form 8886 ("Reportable Transaction Disclosure Statement") and filing it with its U.S. federal income tax
return and a copy of the form with the IRS Office of Tax Shelter Analysis. At this time the Fund cannot predict whether
any of its investments will require it or any of the Limited Partners to file Form 8886. If the General Partner later
determines that one or more investments require the filing by Limited Partners of Form 8886, the General Partner will
provide each Limited Partner with the information required to complete and file the form.
In addition, if a partnership participates in a transaction that requires disclosure to the IRS, the general partner
and other material advisors to the partnership may each be required to file information returns with the IRS, and it may be
necessary to maintain a list of its partners and a detailed description of the partnership, its activities and the expected U.S.
federal income tax consequences to its partners, in addition to certain other information. If such lists and information must
be maintained under the Treasury Regulations, it must be available to the IRS for inspection upon its written request. It is
not possible for the Fund to determine now whether such returns will have to be filed or such lists and information will
have to be maintained.
Under the above rules, a Limited Partners recognition of a loss upon its disposition of an interest in the Fund
could also constitute transaction that requires disclosure to the IRS for such Limited Partner. Potential investors should
consult their own advisors concerning the application of these reporting obligations to their specific situations.
Certain Reporting Requirements
Limited Partners may also be required to make various filings with the IRS if the Fund invests in any non-U.S.
corporations. For example, if the Fund indirectly invests in a company that is a PFIC, a Limited Partner may be required to
file IRS Form 8621 ("Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing
Fund") on an annual basis to report its indirect investment in such PFIC regardless of whether the Fund or the Limited
Partner has received a distribution from, disposed of an interest in, or made an election in respect of such PFIC. Such
reporting generally is not required of U.S. tax-exempt investors. In certain circumstances, these rules may require Limited
Partners to file reports annually. Limited Partners are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding their U.S. tax
filing requirements with respect to an investment in the Fund.
Changes in U.S. Tax Law
Recent or future changes in U.S. federal income tax law could materially affect the tax consequences of a Limited
Partner's investment in the Fund, and the tax treatment of the Fund's investments. While some of these changes could be
beneficial, others could negatively affect the after-tax returns of the Fund and the Limited Partners. Accordingly, no
assurance can be given that the currently anticipated tax treatment of an investment in the Fund, or of investments made
by the Fund, will not be modified by legislative, judicial, or administrative changes, possibly with retroactive effect, to the
detriment of the Limited Partners.
Recently enacted legislation changes the U.S. taxation of U.S. taxable investors, tax-exempt investors and non-
U.S. investors. Among other changes, this legislation modifies the taxation of investments in flow- through entities
conducting an operating business, imposes new limitations on various types of deductions (particularly for U.S. individual
taxpayers), limits the deductibility of interest expense for investors in flow- through entities, and imposes new limits on the
use by tax-exempt investors of losses from unrelated business activities. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the
recent legislation or subsequent legislation, regulations and interpretations thereof will not have an adverse effect on the
Fund's investment performance or any investors after-tax returns from the Fund.

EFTA00292463
RISK FACTORS
Investing in the Interests involves an inherently high degree of risk. You must carefully consider the risks described
below and the risks with respect to the Fund, the Interests, the SVCs, and the other information in this Memorandum.
There can be no assurance that Limited Partners will be able to receive a return of their capital or any returns on their
investment.
General Risks
No guarantee of investment returns.
No guarantee or representation is made that the Fund's investment program will be successful. The Fund's
investment program may utilize investment techniques which can, in certain circumstances, magnify the adverse impact of
losses to the Fund. The Fund may invest in assets which may be classified as highly illiquid. A purchaser should only
invest in the Fund it the purchaser can withstand a total loss of its investment. Past investment performance is not a
guarantee of future results of the Fund or any investment of the Fund.
The Issuer and the Fund are new entities with no operating history.
The Issuer was incorporated on February 9, 2018, and the Fund was formed on February 5. 2018. Both the Issuer
and the Fund are subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business, including the
risk that the Fund will not achieve its investment objectives and that the value of your investment could decline
substantially. The only asset of the Issuer will be limited partner interests in the Fund. The sole initial asset of the Fund will
be the gross proceeds from this Offering, less expenses relating to this Offering.
Investment in the Interests requires a long-term commitment, with no certainty of return. The Fund's investments will
generally be private and may consist in part of illiquid holdings. As such, there may be no public markets for such
securities held by the Fund and no readily available liquidity mechanism at any particular time for some or all of the
investments held by the Fund. In addition, the realization of value from any investments will not be possible or known with
any certainty until the Manager elects, in its sole discretion, to sell the Fund's investments. Furthermore, given the Fund's
investment strategy, there may be significant competition among the Fund and other purchasers for a limited number of
quality investment opportunities, which may result in the Fund deploying capital in a manner less efficiently than
anticipated and consequently potentially resulting in a negative effect on the Fund and the Interests.
Many of the Fund's investments will be highly illiquid, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to
realize a return on such investments in a timely manner, if at all.
Highly competitive market for investment opportunities.
The activity of identifying, completing, and successfully disposing of attractive investments is highly competitive and
involves a high degree of uncertainty. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to locate and complete
investments that satisfy the Fund's objectives or realize their values, or that the Fund will be able to fully invest its capital.
A number of entities will compete with the Fund to make the types of investments that the Fund plans to make. The
Fund will compete with other funds, venture capital firms and venture capital funds, various investment funds, including
hedge funds, other business development companies, commercial and investment banks, commercial financing
companies, and various technology companies' internal venture capital arms. Many of the Fund's potential competitors
are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than it does. For
example, some competitors may have a stronger network of contacts and better connections for deal flows or have
access to funding sources that are not available to the Fund. In addition, some of the Fund's competitors have higher risk
tolerances or different risk assessments, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments and establish
more relationships than the Fund. The competitive pressures the Fund faces could have a material adverse effect on its
business, financial condition, and results of operations. As a result of this competition, the Fund may not be able to take
advantage of attractive investment opportunities from time to time, and it can offer no assurance that it will be able to
identify and make investments that are consistent with its investment objective.
Some of the Fund's portfolio investments are expected to be in the form of securities. The fair value of securities and
other investments that are not publicly traded may not be readily determinable. [The Fund will value these securities
quarterly at fair value according to its written valuation procedures and as determined in good faith by the Manager.) The
methods for valuing these securities may include: fundamental analysis (sales, income, or earnings multiples, etc.),
discounts from market prices of similar securities, purchase price of securities, subsequent private transactions in the
29
WES-11282936389.4
EFTA00292464
security or related securities, or discounts applied to the nature and duration of restrictions on the disposition of the
securities, as well as a combination of these and other factors. Because such valuations, and particularly valuations of
private securities and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time, and may be
based on estimates, the Fund's determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been
used if a ready market for these securities existed. The Fund's Net Asset Value could be adversely affected if
determinations regarding the fair value of its investments were materially higher than the values that it ultimately realizes
upon the disposal of such securities.
General Financial Market Risks.
The Fund, its investments, and the Interests may be significantly influenced by microeconomic and macroeconomic
market factors. Fluctuations in market conditions and changes in regulations and policies that impact the Fund, its
portfolio companies, and/or the industries in which the Fund or portfolio companies operate could cause the value of the
Fund, its investments, and the Interests to decline, which could materially and adversely affect our business and
operations.
Investments in start-ups and earlier stage companies with smaller capitalizations.
Most investment opportunities in blockchain industries and technologies are with start-ups and earlier stage
companies each of which typically have limited operating histories with and/or small market capitalizations. Less
established companies tend to have a lower capitalization and fewer resources and, therefore, often are more vulnerable
to financial failure. The Fund is directly and indirectly subject to the inherent risks of such investments. While we believe
that such investments can provide significant potential for appreciation, we recognize that such investments may involve
higher risks than investments in larger or more established companies and the value of such investments is likely to be
more volatile. Typically, there is an illiquid market for the securities of such companies.
The Manager may rely on its own or a portfolio company's projections concerning the portfolio company's future
performance as well as certain factors beyond the control of the Manager and the portfolio company. A portfolio company
may fail to manage effectively its own growth. The marketability and value of any such investments will depend on many
factors beyond the control of the Manager. These portfolio companies may have new or unproven technologies or
business models that ultimately may not be successful. Early-stage technology companies often face intense competition
in attracting and retaining talented executives or technologists. These portfolio companies can experience failures or
substantial declines in value at any stage and may face intense commercial competition from other companies, including
established companies with significantly greater resources. Accordingly, the Fund's portfolio companies may not be
profitable and may not be able to obtain liquidity for the holders of their securities (including the Fund), which may result in
no distributions to Limited Partners as a result of the Fund's investments in such portfolio companies. Further, the risk of
bankruptcy or insolvency of many start-ups and smaller companies (with the attendant loss to purchasers) is often higher
than for larger and more established companies. In addition, investments in these types of companies may be
characterized by reduced liquidity of the related tokens and more abrupt and erratic market price movements than those
of larger, more established companies.
Need for Follow-On Investments.
Following its initial investment in portfolio companies, the Manager anticipates that the Fund will be called upon
frequently to provide additional funds to portfolio companies or will have the opportunity to increase its investment in
successful portfolio companies. As previously stated, an economic recession or adverse developments in the securities
markets or technology industry might have a negative impact on the ability of portfolio companies to access additional
capital necessary to sustain growth or conduct operations. The Fund may not be able or willing to make follow-on
investments and has broad discretion not to do so. This may have a substantial negative impact on portfolio companies in
need of such an investment, which in turn may negatively impact the Fund's investments in such companies and reduce
or eliminate returns to Limited Partners.
Non-control investments.
The Fund is expected to hold non-controlling interests in most or all of the companies in which it intends to invest and,
therefore, may have a limited ability to protect its positions in such companies. In these cases, the Fund will be
significantly reliant on the existing management and board of directors of such companies, which may include
representatives of other financial purchasers with whom the Fund is not affiliated and whose interests may conflict with
the interests of the Fund. Although the General Partner generally expects to negotiate appropriate shareholder rights, as it
determines appropriate at the time of the Fund's investment, including rights with respect to future financings, liquidity
events, and board matters, to protect the Fund's interests in a portfolio company, such rights may be limited or may not
30
WEST1282936389.4
EFTA00292465
exist at all with respect to certain or any portfolio companies. In addition, the Fund expects that a substantial proportion of
its investments will be made together with one or more third parties. Such investments may involve risks not present in
investments where a third party is not involved, including the possibility that a third-party partner or co-purchaser may
have financial difficulties resulting in a negative impact on such investment, may have economic or business interests or
goals which are inconsistent with those of the Fund, or may be in a position to take action contrary to the Fund's
investment objectives. In those circumstances where such third parties involve a management group, such third parties
may receive compensation arrangements relating to such investments, including incentive compensation arrangements.
Such compensation arrangements will reduce the returns of such investments. In addition, the Fund may in certain
circumstances be liable for the actions of its third-party partners or co-purchasers.
The Manager and the Fund may offer the right to participate in investment opportunities of the Fund to other private
purchasers, groups, partnerships, corporations or other entities, including, without limitation, any other funds managed by
affiliates of the Manager whenever the Manager and the board of directors so determine.
In addition to managing the Fund, the management personnel of the Manager may also manage other investment
funds and devote time to other ventures. Furthermore, the Manager may advise additional funds in the future or undertake
other commercial obligations. This may reduce the time the Manager and its investment management team has to devote
to the affairs of the Fund and may adversely impact return on the Fund's capital deployments.
Leverage.
Early-stage technology companies may be highly leveraged, and the Fund's investments in such companies may be
made at levels in the capital structure subordinate to senior equity or debt securities of such companies. The leveraged
capital structure of such portfolio companies will increase the exposure of these companies to adverse economic factors
such as rising interest rates, high unemployment rates, difficulty accessing capital or credit, or deterioration in the
condition of the portfolio company or its industry.
Implementation of the Manager's investment strategy.
Although the Fund and the Manager currently intend to pursue the investment strategy as set forth in this offering
memorandum, they may change any aspect of their strategy at their discretion at any time. Accordingly, the industries,
risk profiles, types of assets, technologies and types of portfolio investments in which the Fund invests may differ from
those described in this offering memorandum and currently contemplated. The success of the Fund's trading activities
depends in large part on the Manager's ability to identify attractive investment opportunities. Identification and exploitation
of the investment strategies to be pursued by the Fund involves a high degree of uncertainty. No assurance can be given
that the Manager will be able to locate suitable investment opportunities in which to deploy all of the Fund's capital. A
reduction in the volatility and pricing inefficiency of the markets in which the Fund will seek to invest, as well as other
market factors, will reduce the scope for the Fund's investment strategies. In some of the Fund's investments, the Fund
may seek constructively to work with management. There can be no assurance that the management of any entity will
agree or acquiesce to the Fund's involvement in the affairs of the entity, or that the strategies that the Fund helps to
implement will be effective.
Indemnification.
The Fund will be required to indemnify, among others, the General Partner, its affiliates and certain other persons
(collectively, "Indemnified Persons"). These indemnification provisions are broader than the protections that would apply
in the absence of those provisions. The Fund may pay the expenses incurred by such indemnified party in defending an
actual or threatened civil or criminal action in advance of the final disposition of such action. In addition, certain service
providers will have their own indemnification arrangements with the Fund. The potential liabilities associated with the
Fund's indemnification obligations may be material and may have an adverse effect on the returns to the purchasers. The
indemnification obligations of the Fund would be payable from the assets of the Fund. Such obligations will survive the
dissolution of the Fund and may diminish the investment returns of the Fund.
The Fund may be required to disclose information about purchasers.
The Fund may be required by law, subpoena, or court order to disclose personal information received from Limited
Partners to law enforcement, government officials, and other third parties. Any such disclosure could have an adverse
effect on purchasers and Limited Partners, on the reputation of the Fund, the Token Issuer, the Manager, and the General
Partner, or on the value of Interests. While the Fund believes the confidentiality of Limited Partners will be protected, there
is no certainty of this.
31
WES-11282936389.4
EFTA00292466
Ultimate Fund Size.
The number of investments and potential profitability of the Fund could be affected by the amount of proceeds at its
disposal, and, in the event the Fund obtains less than the target amount of capital for deployment, the Fund's investment
return might be affected to a greater degree by errors in investment decisions than the investment returns of other entities
with greater capitalization.
Use of Placement Agents.
The Manager and General Partner have engaged registered placement agents in respect of this Offering. Potential
investors must independently evaluate this Offering and make their own investment decisions. In making those decisions,
potential investors should be aware that a placement agent will be paid a placement fee based upon the amount of
commitments to the Fund by certain investors. Potential investors should also note that at various times a placement
agent may be able to act as placement agent for other fund sponsors and funds, including fund sponsors and funds that
are not affiliated with the Manager or the Fund. Such unaffiliated fund sponsors may pay placement fees on terms
different from the tees such placement agent may receive in respect of the Fund, and such differences in fees may
influence such placement agent's decision to introduce potential investors to the Fund. Potential investors should also be
aware that affiliates or employees of a placement agent could invest in the Fund on their own behalf and/or on behalf of
their clients. Each potential investor must consider these issues in making its investment decision.
Other activities of the Manager and its affiliates.
The Manager and certain of its personnel or affiliates may serve as investment manager, advisor, and/or provide
services for other funds, investment funds and investment accounts, including those with substantially the same
investment objectives as the Fund's (which may pursue their investment activities by contributing assets to the Fund), and
also including additional investment funds and/or client accounts with investment objectives that differ in some respects to
the Fund's investment objective (collectively, "Other Funds"). Neither the Manager nor any of its personnel or affiliates is
obligated to make any particular investment opportunity available to the Fund, and they may take advantage of any
opportunity, either for other accounts the Manager, its personnel or affiliates manages or for themselves or other funds
they manage. Differences in compensation arrangements among investment funds managed by the Manager, its
personnel or affiliates and the fact that such persons may participate in the profits of other investment funds may create
incentives for the Manager and its personnel to manage the Fund so as to favor those other funds. Additionally, these are
no restrictions on the other activities of the Manager, its personnel or affiliates.
Cross-transactions.
The Manager may, in one or more transactions, effect client cross-transactions where the Manager causes a
transaction to be effected between the Fund and one or more Other Funds, typically for purposes of rebalancing the
portfolios of the Fund and such Other Funds, in order to further the Fund's and such Other Funds' respective investment
programs, or for other reasons consistent with the investment and operating guidelines of the Fund and such Other
Funds. Each of such acquisitions or sales will be affected in accordance with applicable law. In addition, the Manager may
enter into agency cross-transactions where it or any of its affiliates acts as broker for the Fund and for the other party to
the transaction, to the extent permitted under applicable law. The Manager may also effect principal transactions between
itself or its affiliates and the Fund. Any transaction effected between the Fund and the Manager or its affiliates on a
principal, client cross or agency cross basis will be conducted at arm's length for fair market value and on terms as
favorable to the Fund as would be the case in a transaction with an independent third party and in accordance with any
fiduciary obligation of the Manager under applicable law.
Material, non-public information may restrict transactions.
By reason of its investment in a portfolio company, the Manager may acquire confidential or material non-public
information or otherwise be restricted from initiating transactions in certain securities. The Fund may not be able to act
upon any such information. Due to these restrictions, the Fund may not be able to initiate a transaction that it otherwise
might have initiated and may not be able to sell a portfolio investment that it otherwise might have sold.
Illiquid and long-term investments.
The Fund may make investments that have limited liquidity. The market prices, if any, of such investments tend to be
volatile and the Fund may not be able to sell such investments when it desires, or, upon sale, to realize what it perceives
to be their fair value. Further. it the securities are not publicly traded, then they are not subject to the disclosure and other
purchaser protection requirements applicable to publicly traded securities. Dispositions of such investments may require a
32
WES-11282936389.4
EFTA00292467
lengthy time period locking up capital and decreasing funds available for repurchases or redemptions of Interests or
investments in more attractive opportunities. If the Fund were forced to sell such an investment, it may not receive fair
value therefore.
There will likely be no near-term cash flow available to purchasers, and there is no assurance of any return of cash
flows. Since the Fund may only make a limited number of investments and since many of the Fund's investments may
involve a high degree of risk, poor performance by a few of the investments could severely affect the total returns to
purchasers. Additionally, past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
The Fund is subject to cyber security and data loss risks or other security breaches.
The Fund's business involves the storage and transmission of users' proprietary information, and security breaches
could cause a risk of loss or misuse of this information, and to resulting claims, fines, and litigation. The Fund may be
subjected to a variety of cyber-attacks, which may continue to occur from time to time. Cyber-attacks may target the Fund,
its customers, suppliers, banks, credit card processors, delivery services, e-commerce in general or the communication
infrastructure on which they depend. An attack or a breach of security could result in a loss of private data, unauthorized
trades, an interruption of trading for an extended period of time, violation of applicable privacy and other laws, significant
legal and financial exposure, damage to reputation, and a loss of confidence in security measures, any of which could
have a material adverse effect on the Fund's financial results and business. Any such attack or breach could adversely
affect the ability of the Fund to operate, which could indirectly adversely affect the value of the Interests. Any breach of
data security that exposes or compromises the security of any of the private digital keys used to authorize or validate
transaction orders, or that enables any unauthorized person to generate any of the private digital keys, could result in
unauthorized trades and would have a material adverse effect on the Fund. Because trades utilizing blockchain
technology settle on the trade date, it could be impossible to correct unauthorized trades.
Furthermore, attackers can manipulate the cryptocurrency market. The price of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and
Ether, are set by several exchanges. If an exchange is attacked such that it is taken offline, traders can take advantage of
price differences. Additionally, attackers can target platforms that buy and sell cryptocurrencies and digital wallets that
hold cryptocurrencies. It is possible that such an attack could adversely affect the Fund's investments and indirectly also
the value of the Interests.
Hedging policies/risks.
The Fund may employ hedging techniques to offset currency-related risks applicable to its investments. In general,
however, the Fund will not attempt to hedge all risks inherent in the Fund's investments. In the event the Fund enters into
such hedges, the success of the applicable hedging strategy will depend, in part, upon the Manager's ability to correctly
assess the relationship between the performance of the instruments used in the hedging strategy and the risks being
hedged. Since the characteristics of many investments change as markets change or time passes, the success of any
hedging strategy will also be subject to the ability of the Fund to continually recalculate, readjust and execute hedges in
an efficient and timely manner. While such hedging transactions may be effected to reduce risk, such transactions may
also reduce the Fund's returns and may result in a poorer overall performance for the Fund than it it had not entered into
such hedging transactions. For a variety of reasons, the Fund may only enter into a partial hedge, and/or not seek to
establish a perfect correlation between the hedging instruments utilized and the exposure being hedged. Such an
imperfect correlation may prevent the intended hedge from being achieved or expose the Fund to risk of loss. The Fund
may also not hedge against a particular risk because it does not regard the probability of the risk occurring to be
sufficiently high as to justify the cost of the hedge, or because it does not foresee the occurrence of the risk. The
successful utilization of hedging and risk management transactions requires skills complementary to those needed in the
selection of investments.
Analytical Model Risks.
The Fund employs certain strategies which depend upon the reliability, accuracy and analysis of the Manager's
analytical models. To the extent such models (or the assumptions underlying them) do not prove to be correct, the Fund
may not perform as anticipated, which could result in substantial losses. All models ultimately depend upon the judgment
of the Manager and the assumptions embedded in them. To the extent that with respect to any investment, the judgment
or assumptions are incorrect, the Fund may suffer losses.
Risk of limited number of investments.
The Fund may participate in a limited number of investments and, as a consequence, the aggregate return of the
Fund may be substantially and adversely affected by the unfavorable performance of even a single investment.
33
WES-11282936389.4
EFTA00292468
Purchasers have no assurance as to the degree of diversification of the Fund's portfolio investments, either by geographic
region, asset type, or sector. In circumstances where the Manager plans to exit an investment, there will be a risk that
such exit may not be completed, which could lead to increased risk as a result of the Fund having an unintended long-
term investment as to a portion of the amount invested and/or reduced diversification.
Contingent liabilities on disposition of portfolio investments.
In connection with the disposition of a portfolio investment, the Fund may be required to make representations about
the business and financial affairs typical of those made in connection with the sale of a business. The Fund also may be
required to indemnify the purchasers of such investment to the extent that any such representations are inaccurate. These
arrangements may result in the incurrence of contingent liabilities for which the Manager may establish reserves or
escrows.
Expedited transactions.
Investment analyses and decisions by the Manager may be undertaken on an expedited basis in order for the Fund to
take advantage of available investment opportunities. In such cases, the information available to the Manager at the time
of the investment decision may be limited, and the Manager may not have access to the detailed information necessary
for a thorough evaluation of the investment opportunity. Furthermore, the Manager may conduct its due diligence activities
over a very brief period.
Reliance on the Manager.
The Manager has exclusive responsibility for the Fund's investment activities, and Limited Partners will not be able to
make investment or any other decisions in the management of the Fund or its portfolio companies. Furthermore, Limited
Partners will have limited rights to make decisions with respect to the Fund or its management. The success of the Fund
will depend in part upon the skill and expertise of the personnel of the Manager. Even in the case of the continued service
of these investment professionals throughout the life of the Fund, there can nevertheless be no assurance that they will
achieve any particular results for the Fund.
Valuations.
When the Fund invests in illiquid tokens or instruments, it may be difficult for the Manager to accurately determine the
fair market value thereof. Valuations of such assets for the purposes of determining the Fund's Net Asset Value may be
speculative and will depend largely on the Manager's judgment. Furthermore, the Manager may rely on information
provided by third parties in valuing the Fund's liquid or illiquid assets and its liabilities, which information may be
incomplete, inaccurate or otherwise unreliable. To the extent the Manager relies on such information, its valuations and
Net Asset Value calculations may be inaccurate. The Manager's judgment on such matters shall be binding and not
subject to audit by the Issuer, the Limited Partners or other outside persons. These risks in Net Asset Value valuation can
affect the amount of the fee payable by the Fund.
Because of the illiquidity of certain positions that may be held by the Fund, the liquidation values of the Fund's
securities and other investments may differ significantly from the interim valuations of such investments made by the
Manager. Such differences may be further affected by the time frame within which such liquidation occurs. Third-party
pricing information may not be available regarding certain of the Fund's securities and other investments.
It is possible that there will be no readily available market for a substantial number of the Fund's investments and
hence, most of the Fund's investments will be difficult to value. Due to the absence of readily available market valuations
or market quotations for securities of the Fund's privately held portfolio companies, the valuation of the Fund's
investments in such portfolio companies is determined in good faith by the Manager; the Fund is not required to have
such valuations independently determined.
Despite the Manager's efforts to acquire sufficient information to monitor certain of the Fund's investments and make
well-informed valuation and pricing determinations, the Manager may only be able to obtain limited information at certain
times. It is possible that the Manager may not be aware on a timely basis of material adverse changes that have occurred
with respect to certain of the Fund's investments. The Manager may have to make valuation determinations without the
benefit of an adequate amount of relevant information. Prospective purchasers should be aware that as a result of these
difficulties, as well as other uncertainties, any valuation made by the Manager may not represent the fair market value of
the securities acquired by the Fund.
34
WES-11282936389.4
EFTA00292469
Broker. dealer, or exchange insolvency.
While great care is taken in selecting the brokers, dealers, exchanges or wallets that will maintain custody of certain of
the assets of the Fund, there is a residual risk that any of such persons could become insolvent or otherwise become
insecure. There may be practical or timing problems associated with enforcing the rights of the Fund to its respective
assets in the case of an insolvency or security disruption of any such party. Furthermore, currently it may not be possible
for third parties to maintain custody of certain of the assets of the Fund.
Risk of misconduct of employees and of third party service providers.
Misconduct by employees of the Manager or third-party service providers could cause significant losses to the Fund.
Employee misconduct may include binding the Fund to transactions that exceed authorized limits or present unacceptable
risks and unauthorized trading activities or concealing unsuccessful trading activities (which, in either case, may result in
unknown and unmanaged risks or losses). Losses could also result from actions by third party service providers,
including, without limitation, failing to recognize trades and misappropriating assets. In addition, employees and third-party
service providers may improperly use or disclose confidential information, which could result in litigation or serious
financial harm, including limiting the Fund's business prospects or future marketing activities. No assurances can be given
that the due diligence performed by the Manager will identify or prevent any such misconduct.
The Manager's management personnel may manage other funds.
In addition to managing the Fund, the management personnel of the Manager may also manage other investment
funds and devote time to other ventures in the future. Furthermore, the Manager may advise additional funds in the future
or undertake other commercial obligations. This may reduce the time the Manager and its investment management team
have to devote to the affairs of the Fund and may adversely impact return on the Fund's capital deployments.
The Fund's investment returns will depend on its ability to manage future growth effectively.
The Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective will depend on its ability to grow, which will depend, in turn, on
the Manager's ability to identify, invest in, and monitor companies that meet the Fund's investment criteria. Accomplishing
this result on a cost-effective basis will be largely a function of the Manager's structuring of the investment process, its
ability to provide competent, attentive, and efficient services and access to financing on acceptable terms. The
management team of the Manager will have substantial responsibilities with respect to managing the Fund. In addition,
the employees of the Manager and its respective affiliates may also be called upon to provide managerial assistance to
the Fund's portfolio companies. Such demands on their time may distract them or slow the rate of investment. Any failure
to manage future growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on the Fund's business, financial condition, and
results of operations.
No assurance of the Manager's success in locating suitable investments.
There can be no assurance that the Manager will be able to locate suitable investments for the Fund. Although the
Manager will attempt to make investments on behalf of the Fund which meet the criteria set forth in this offering
memorandum, there is no assurance that such investments can be located. Market and other conditions may require the
Fund to make investments that offer a lower rate of return or involve a higher degree of risk than described herein. The
success of the Fund's investment activities depends on the Manager's ability to identify investment opportunities.
Identification and exploitation of investment opportunities to be pursued by the Fund involves a high degree of uncertainty.
A reduction in the volatility and pricing inefficiency of the markets in which the Fund will seek to invest or systematic or
structural changes in the equity or credit markets generally may reduce or increase the scope of the Fund's investment
opportunities. No assurance can be given that the Manager will be able to locate suitable investment opportunities in
which to deploy the Fund's capital.
No assurance of returns.
There can be no assurance that Limited Partners will receive value on redemption from the Fund in an amount equal
to their investment in the Fund. The timing of profit realization, if any, is highly uncertain. The Fund's operating costs may
exceed the Fund's income, thereby requiring the difference to be paid out of the Fund's capital. The expenses of the Fund
in its early months or years will likely exceed its income. Such losses will reduce the Fund's capital. It is possible that
these losses may never be recovered.

EFTA00292470
Reliance on the Manager's investment discretion for the Fund.
The Manager will have sole discretion over the investment of the funds committed to the Fund as well as the ultimate
realization of any profits. Limited Partners will not receive the detailed financial information issued by portfolio companies
that will be available to the Fund. Accordingly, Limited Partners will not have the opportunity to evaluate the relevant
economic, financial, and other information that will be utilized by the Manager in its selection of investments. As such, the
pool of funds in the Fund represents a blind pool of funds. Limited Partners will be relying on the Manager to identify.
structure, and implement investments consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and policies and to conduct the
business of the Fund as contemplated by this offering memorandum. Limited Partners will not make decisions with
respect to the management, disposition or other realization of any investment made by the Fund, or other decisions
regarding the Fund's business and affairs.
Focused investment strategy may change at any time without notice.
The Fund's objective is to achieve superior long-term risk-adjusted capital appreciation by investing directly in a
portfolio of venture-funded technology companies selected by the Manager, although it may change its investment focus
at any time without notice and without the consent of Limited Partners. A specific investment focus is inherently riskier and
could cause the Fund's investments to be more susceptible to particular economic, political, regulatory, technological or
industry conditions or occurrences compared with a fund, or a portfolio of funds, that is more diversified or has a broader
industry focus.
Reserves may be established.
As is customary in the industry, the Fund may establish reserves for follow-on investments by the Fund in portfolio
funds, operating expenses, the Fund liabilities, and other matters. Estimating the appropriate amount of such reserves is
difficult, especially for follow-on investment opportunities, which are directly tied to the success and capital needs of
portfolio companies. Inadequate or excessive reserves could impair the investment returns to the Fund and the Net Asset
Value. 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 from dilutive or other punitive terms associated with "pay-to-play" or
similar provisions. 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.
Lack of liquidity in the Fund's investments may adversely affect its Net Asset Value.
Although portfolio investments by the Fund may generate some current income, the return of capital and the
realization of gains, if any, from an investment will generally occur only after the partial or complete disposition of such
investment. While a portfolio investment may be sold at any time, it is not generally expected that this will occur for a
number of years after the investment is made. It is unlikely that there will be a public market for the securities held by the
Fund at the time of their acquisition. The Fund generally will not be able to sell its securities publicly unless their sale is
registered under applicable securities laws, or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available. In
addition, in some cases the Fund may be prohibited by contract from selling securities for a period of time.
Although not currently planned, the Fund may make investments in cryptocurrency, other appropriate investments
related to digital tokens and other cryptocurrency investments (and derivatives linked thereto). Substantially all of those
digital assets have the potential to be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or could otherwise be less liquid
than publicly traded securities. If the Fund invests in such assets, the illiquidity of such assets means that that the Fund
may not realize the portfolio quickly and it may realize significantly less than the value at which it has previously recorded
its investments.
Any such lack of liquidity may adversely affect the Fund's Net Asset Value and may indirectly adversely affect the
Interests.
Side Letters.
In accordance with common industry practice, the General Partner and the Manager will be authorized, without the
approval of or notice to the Issuer or any holder of Interests, to enter into, amend and/or terminate one or more -side
letters" or similar written agreements with certain direct or indirect investors in the Fund that have the effect of establishing
rights under, or altering or supplementing the terms of, this Memorandum or other agreements relating to the Fund, or of
establishing rights not described herein or therein with respect to an investor that has entered into such side letter or other
written agreements, including, without limitation, varying fee structures or economic arrangements, providing for more
favorable liquidity terms, allowing for varying arrangements with respect to the scope and frequency of information
36
WES-11282936389.4
EFTA00292471
provided about the Fund or its assets, adjustments to otherwise applicable Fund distributions or providing for more
favorable withdrawal or transfer terms. The ability of other stakeholders to elect to receive the benefit of such side
agreements will be limited.
Possible Lack of Diversification.
The Fund may participate in a limited number of portfolio investments focused on a limited sector of the economy. The
Fund intends that approximately eighty percent (80%) of the Fund's capital will be used to make un-leveraged
investments in leading late-stage private technology companies, in particular in companies at funding stages Series C and
Series D+. The Fund intends that approximately twenty percent (200/0) of the Fund's capital will be allocated to make
opportunistic investments on a discretionary basis which may include buybacks of the Interests, investment in proven
blockchain companies, and earlier stage companies that have demonstrated potential to achieve breakout success.
The Fund is thus not expected to benefit from the reduced risks generally provided by a broadly diversified portfolio. A
specific investment focus is inherently riskier and could cause the Fund's investment to be more susceptible to particular
economic, political, regulatory, technological or industry conditions or occurrences compared with a fund, or a portfolio of
funds, that is more diversified or has a broader industry focus.
Regulatory Risks
Non-U.S. investments.
The Fund may invest outside of the United States. Non-U.S. securities involve certain risks relating to (i) currency
fluctuations and associated conversion costs: (ii) differences between securities markets in different jurisdictions, including
volatility in and relative illiquidity of some securities markets, the absence of uniform accounting, auditing and financial
reporting standards, practices and disclosure requirements and less government supervision: (iii) certain economic and
political risks, including potential restrictions on investment and repatriation of capital and the possibility of expropriation or
confiscatory taxation; and (iv) the imposition of withholding or other taxes with respect to such investment.
Lack of registration of the Interests, the Fund or the General Partner.
The Interests have not been, and will not be, registered with any regulatory body of any jurisdiction. None of the
Issuer, the Fund and the General Partner has been, and will not be, registered with or qualified under any securities,
commodity, derivative, or other applicable legal or regulatory regime. If any governmental authority were to require the
registration of this Offering, the Interests, the Issuer, the General Partner or the Fund under any legal or regulatory
scheme, as applicable, there can be no assurance that such persons would be able to timely comply with the
requirements of such registration or at all. In addition, Limited Partners will not be afforded the protections available to
purchasers in investment vehicles similar to the Fund (which, among other things, may require investment companies to
have a majority of disinterested directors, and regulate the relationship between the adviser and the investment company,
including the type of compensation paid to the adviser).
The Fund relies on complex exemptions from regulation in conducting its activities.
The Fund regularly relies on exemptions from various requirements applicable by laws in various jurisdictions, in
conducting this Offering and their respective businesses. These exemptions are sometimes highly complex and may in
certain circumstances depend on compliance by third parties not subject to the control of the Fund, the General Partner or
their respective affiliates. If for any reason these exemptions were to become unavailable to the Fund, the Fund could
become subject to regulatory action or third-party claims and its business could be materially and adversely affected.
These regulations, should they become applicable to the Fund, could limit the Fund's activities and impose burdensome
compliance requirements.
Moreover, the Fund is not registered under the Investment Company Act, and neither the General Partner, the
Management Company, nor any Managing Director is registered as an investment advisor under the Advisers Act. The
Investment Company Act and the Advisers Act provide certain protections to investors and impose certain restrictions on
registered investment companies and registered investment advisers (for example, the Investment Company Act requires
investment companies that are subject to its provisions to have disinterested directors on their boards and regulates the
relationships between the adviser and the investment company), none of which will be applicable to the Limited Partners,
the Fund, the General Partner. or the Managing Directors, respectively. In addition, the General Partner is not registered
as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority and, thus, is not subject to the record keeping or specific business practices required thereunder.
37
WES-11282936389.4
EFTA00292472
It is possible that in the future either or both of the Manager and the General Partner may be required to register as an
investment adviser under the Advisers Act or other applicable U.S. state or foreign law. If the Manager or the General
Partner is required in the future to become registered under the Advisers Act, at such time a copy of Part 2 of its SEC
Form ADV, which constitutes its regulatory disclosure brochure, will be made available as required. The additional
regulatory requirements may be costly and/or burdensome to the Fund and/or the Issuer and could result in the imposition
of restrictions and limitations on the operations of the Fund and/or the Issuer, including the disclosure of information to
United States regulatory authorities regarding the operations of the Fund (regardless of whether the Manager, the General
Partner or their affiliates are required to be registered as an investment adviser).

REGULATION
The Fund is registered as a mutual fund under section 4(3) of the Mutual Funds Law and is therefore regulated under
that law. The Fund specifies that the minimum aggregate equity interest purchasable by a potential investor in the Fund is
at least US $100,000 or its equivalent in any other currency. Consequently, it qualifies for registration under that section
without the need to be licensed or administered by a licensed mutual fund administrator.
In connection with its initial registration under the Mutual Funds Law, the Fund has filed with CIMA a copy of this
offering memorandum and certain details of this offering memorandum, as required by the Mutual Funds Law. The Fund
has also paid the prescribed initial registration fee.
The Fund's continuing obligations under the Mutual Funds Law are: (i) to file with CIMA prescribed details of any
changes to this offering memorandum: (ii) to file annually with CIMA accounts audited by an approved auditor and a fund
annual return; and (iii) to pay the relevant prescribed annual fee.
CIMA has supervisory and enforcement powers to ensure compliance with the Mutual Funds Law. The Fund is not,
however, subject to supervision in respect of its investment activities by CIMA or any other governmental authority in the
Cayman Islands, although CIMA does have power to investigate the activities of the Fund in certain circumstances.
Neither CIMA nor any other governmental authority in the Cayman Islands has commented upon or approved the terms or
merits of this offering memorandum. There is no investment compensation scheme available to investors in the Cayman
Islands.
At any time. CIMA may instruct the Fund to have its accounts audited and to submit them to CIMA within a specified
time. In addition, CIMA may ask the General Partner to give CIMA such information or such explanation in respect of the
Fund as CIMA may reasonably require to enable it to carry out its duty under the Mutual Funds Law. CIMA shall,
whenever it considers it necessary, examine, including by way of on-site inspections or in such other manner as it may
determine, the affairs or business of the Fund for the purpose of satisfying itself that the provisions of the Mutual Funds
Law and applicable anti-money laundering regulations are being complied with. The General Partner must give CIMA
access to or provide at any reasonable time all records relating to the Fund and CIMA may copy or take an extract of a
record it is given access to.
Failure to comply with any supervisory request by CIMA may result in substantial fines. CIMA has wide powers to take
certain actions if certain events occur. For instance, it has wide powers to take action if it is satisfied that a regulated
mutual fund: (i) is or is likely to become unable to meet its obligations as they fall due: or (ii) is carrying on or is attempting
to carry on business or is winding up its business voluntarily in a manner that is prejudicial to its investors or creditors; or
(iii) is not being managed in a fit and proper manner; or (iv) has a person appointed as General Partner, manager or
officer that is not a fit and proper person to hold the respective position.
The powers of CIMA include, amongst others: (i) the power to require a General Partner to be replaced; (ii) the
power to appoint a person, at the expense of the Fund to advise the Fund on the proper conduct of its affairs;
and (iii) the power to appoint a person, at the expense of the Fund, to assume control of the affairs of the Fund,
including for the purpose of terminating the business of the Fund. CIMA also has other remedies available to it
including the ability to cancel the registration of the Fund and to apply to the courts of the Cayman Islands for
approval of other actions.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING AND ANTI-TERRORIST FINANCING PROCEDURES
To ensure compliance with applicable statutory requirements relating to anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism
initiatives, the Fund is required to adopt and maintain anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing policies and
procedures and, accordingly, the Fund or the Administrator on the Fund's behalf may require prospective investors to
verify their identity, the identity of their beneficial owners/controllers (where applicable), their address and source of funds.
Depending on the circumstances of each application and the anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing policies
and procedures of the Administrator, a detailed verification might not always be required.
The Fund and the Administrator reserve the right to request such evidence as is necessary to verify the identity,
beneficial owners/controllers, address and source of funds of a prospective investor. The Fund and the Administrator also
reserve the right to request such verification evidence in respect of a transferee of Interests. In the event of delay or failure
by the prospective investor or transferee to produce any evidence required for verification purposes, the Fund and the
Administrator may refuse to accept the application or (as the case may be) to register the relevant transfer, and (in the
case of a subscription of Interests) any funds received will be returned without interest to the account from which such
funds were originally received.
The Fund and the Administrator reserves the right to request such verification evidence with respect to a Redemption
Request. The Fund and the Administrator also reserve the right to refuse to make any redemption payment or distribution
to a Limited Partner if the General Partner of the Fund or the Administrator suspects or is advised that the payment of any
redemption or distribution moneys to such Limited Partner might result in a breach or violation of any applicable anti-
money laundering, anti-terrorist financing or other laws or regulations by any person in any relevant jurisdiction, or such
refusal is considered necessary or appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Fund, its General Partner or the
Administrator with any such laws or regulations in any relevant jurisdiction.
None of the Fund, the Manager, the Administrator or their respective delegates, agents and affiliates will be liable for
any loss suffered by a subscriber arising as a result of any refusal to accept an application for Interests or for any loss
suffered by a Limited Partner arising as a result of any refusal to make a redemption payment or distribution.
If any person resident in the Cayman Islands (including the Fund) 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 if the
disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering; or (ii) a police constable not below the rank of inspector, or the
Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism Law, 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.
By subscribing, Limited Partners consent to the disclosure by the Fund and the Administrator of any information about
them to regulators and others upon request in connection with money laundering, terrorist financing and similar matters
both in the Cayman Islands and in other jurisdictions. Each subscriber and Limited Partner will be required to make such
representations to the Fund as the Fund, the Administrator and the Manager require in connection with such anti-money
laundering and anti-terrorist financing programs, including without limitation, representations to the Fund that such
subscriber or Limited Partner (or any person controlling or controlled by the subscriber or Limited Partner; any person
having a beneficial interest in the subscriber or Limited Partner; or any person for whom the subscriber or Limited Partner
is acting as agent or nominee in connection with the investment) is not a prohibited country, territory, individual or entity
listed on the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) website and that it is not directly or
indirectly affiliated with any country, territory, individual or entity named on an OFAC list or prohibited by any OFAC
sanctions programs or under any European Union and United Kingdom regulations and the govemment(s) of any
jurisdiction(s) in which the Fund is doing business. Each subscriber and Limited Partner will also be required to represent
to the Fund that amounts contributed by it to the Fund were not directly or indirectly derived from activities that may
contravene U.S. federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist
financing laws and regulations.
The Fund and/or the Administrator may develop additional procedures to comply with applicable anti-money
laundering and anti-terrorist financing laws and regulations.
Pursuant to Cayman Islands Anti-Money Laundering Regulations, the Fund is required to appoint a Money
Laundering Reporting Officer, a Deputy Money Laundering Reporting Officer and an Anti-Money Laundering Compliance

Variation of Offering Terms
Subject to applicable law and without the approval of any Limited Partners, the General Partner may amend this
offering memorandum to vary the offering terms applicable to any Interests (as distinct from modifying Class rights
attaching to those Interests, as discussed above) in any of the following ways:
(i) by making any change that the General Partner considers will not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any
material respect: or
WES-11282936389.4
EFTA00292477
(ii) by making any change that is necessary or desirable to satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines
contained in any opinion, directive, order, statute, ruling or regulation of any applicable regulator, court of competent
jurisdiction, government or government entity (including any tax authority). However, that change must be made in a
manner that minimizes, to the extent practicable as determined by the General Partner, any adverse effect on the Limited
Partners; or
(iii) by making any change that is necessary or desirable to reflect any amendments, modifications or revocations of
any applicable laws and regulations;
(iv) by making any change that the General Partner considers likely to adversely affect the Limited Partners in a
material respect (including amendments to the investment program, fees charged to the Fund by service providers and
the liquidity terms of the Interests). However, that amendment does not become effective until after the affected Limited
Partners have been given prior written notice of the change and have had the opportunity, following receipt of that notice,
to request the redemption of their Interests so affected. If they request that those Interests be redeemed, the Fund must
do so.
Furthermore, the General Partner may amend this offering memorandum to vary the offering terms applicable to the
Fund generally or any Class in particular with the consent of the Limited Partners owning a majority by value of all
outstanding Interests attributable to the Fund or the Class, as applicable, at the time of the amendment provided that such
amendment does not discriminate amongst Limited Partners of the Fund or the Class, as applicable. A meeting so
convened will generally follow the provisions of the Fund Agreement relating to general meetings amended as necessary
by the General Partner notwithstanding that the Fund Agreement will not govern such meetings. If the Fund seeks such
approval from Limited Partners, then following the giving of notice of the proposed amendment, the Fund shall request a
response for or against the proposed amendment. The Fund shall deem a lack of response from a Limited Partners to
constitute the consent of such Limited Partner to the amendment.
