For a discussion of each Fund’s principal investment strategies, see “Investment Objective and Principal Strategies—The Investment Programs of the Funds.”

Risk Factors and Restrictions on Transfer. Investing in the limited liability company interests of a Fund (“Interests”) involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 15. With very limited exceptions, Interests are not transferable and liquidity will be provided only through repurchase offers which may be made from time to time by a Fund as determined by the Fund’s Board of Managers (the “Board”) in its sole discretion. See “Repurchases of Interests and Transfers.”

Management Fee. Each Fund pays the Investment Manager a monthly management fee (the “Management Fee”) computed at the annual rate of 0.75% of the net asset value of the Fund as of the last day of the month (before any repurchases of Interests). See “Management of the Funds.”

The overall fees and expenses payable by each Fund and its investors are higher than those paid by most other registered investment companies, but are generally similar to those paid by many private investment funds and certain other registered investment companies with investment policies similar to those of the relevant Fund. See “Management of the Funds.”

This prospectus concisely provides the information that a prospective investor should know about each Fund before investing. You are advised to read this prospectus carefully and to retain it for future reference. Additional information about each Fund, including a statement of additional information (“SAI”) dated November 24, 2004, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SAI is available upon request and without charge by writing the Funds at the address above or by calling (212) 201-2500. The SAI is incorporated by reference into this prospectus in its entirety. The table of contents of the SAI appears on page 43 of this prospectus. The SAI, and other information about the Funds, is also available on the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov). The address of the SEC’s Internet site is provided solely for the information of prospective investors and is not intended to be an active link.

Interests are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. The Funds have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. No Fund is making an offer of Interests in any state or other jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. You should not assume that the information provided by this prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of this prospectus.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This is only a summary. The summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in any of the Funds. You should review the more detailed information contained in this prospectus and in the SAI.

The Funds

Aetos Capital Multi-Strategy Arbitrage Fund, LLC, Aetos Capital Distressed Investment Strategies Fund, LLC, Aetos Capital Long/Short Strategies Fund, LLC, and Aetos Capital Market Neutral Strategies Fund, LLC (each a “Fund”) are limited liability companies. The Funds are registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Aetos Alternatives Management, LLC serves as each Fund’s investment manager (the “Investment Manager”).

Investment Objective and Principal Strategies

Investors who purchase limited liability company interests in a Fund (“Interests”) in an offering, and other persons who acquire Interests and are admitted to a Fund by its Board of Managers (the “Board”), will become members of that Fund (“Members”). Each Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. Current income is not an objective. Each Fund seeks to achieve this objective by allocating its assets for investment among a select group of alternative asset managers (“Portfolio Managers”) employing different “absolute return” investment strategies in pursuit of attractive risk-adjusted returns consistent with the preservation of capital. The Investment Manager is primarily responsible for selecting the Portfolio Managers and determining the portion of each Fund’s assets to be allocated to each Portfolio Manager, subject to the general supervision of the Fund’s Board. Each Fund implements these allocation decisions primarily by investing in private investment partnerships (and similar investment vehicles) that are managed by Portfolio Managers.

Each Fund’s assets are allocated primarily to Portfolio Managers that pursue the Fund’s principal absolute return investment strategy or strategies as set forth below:


Name of Fund		Principal Investment Strategy/Strategies
Aetos Capital Multi-Strategy Arbitrage Fund		event driven arbitrage, relative value arbitrage, convertible arbitrage and fixed income arbitrage

Aetos Capital Long/Short Strategies Fund		long/short equity and fixed income

Aetos Capital Market Neutral Strategies Fund		market neutral

Portfolio Managers employ a variety of sophisticated investment techniques that include, among other things, short sales of securities, use of leverage (i.e., borrowing money for investment purposes), and transactions in derivative securities and other financial instruments such as stock options, index options, futures contracts and options on futures. Portfolio Managers’ use of these techniques is an integral part of their investment programs, and involves significant risks to each Fund.

Portfolio Managers generally invest in marketable securities, although certain Portfolio Managers may also invest in privately placed securities and other investments that are illiquid. Interests in the Portfolio Funds are not themselves marketable and are extremely illiquid. Portfolio Managers may invest and trade in a wide range of instruments and markets, including, but not limited to, domestic and foreign equities and equity-related instruments, currencies, financial futures, and fixed income and other debt-related instruments. Portfolio Managers are generally not limited as to the markets (either by location or type, such as large capitalization, small capitalization or non-U.S. markets) in which they may invest or the investment discipline that they may employ (such as value or growth or bottom-up or top-down analysis).

Each Fund invests in limited partnerships, joint ventures, other investment companies and similar entities managed by Portfolio Managers (“Portfolio Funds”). At any one time, each Fund generally expects to hold interests in approximately four to fifteen Portfolio Funds. As “funds of funds”, the Funds benefit from reduced exposure to any individual investment manager, and each Fund has the ability to shift its allocations among Portfolio Managers and/or sub-strategies as market conditions may dictate. However, a Fund generally may make new or additional investments in or effect withdrawals from Portfolio Funds only at certain times prescribed by the Portfolio Funds. Therefore, a Fund’s allocation shifting generally is subject to these imposed time limitations. Each Fund may on occasion retain Portfolio Managers to manage and invest designated portions of its assets (either as separately managed accounts or by creating separate investment vehicles in which a Portfolio Manager will serve as general partner/manager of the vehicle and the relevant Fund will be the sole limited partner/member). (Any arrangement in which a Fund retains a Portfolio Manager to manage an account or investment vehicle is referred to as a “Portfolio Account.”) To the extent a Fund retains a Portfolio Manager to manage and invest its assets in a Portfolio Account, the Portfolio Account and all assets invested in it will be subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act and the Fund will look through to the underlying assets of the Portfolio Account for purposes of compliance with the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions. In addition, a Portfolio Manager of a Portfolio Account will be a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Advisers Act”), and will be subject to the requirements of the

Investment Company Act that apply to the relationship between an investment company and its investment adviser.

Each Fund will not invest more than 40% of its total assets at the time of investment in any one Portfolio Fund or with any one Portfolio Manager. See “Use of Proceeds.”

The Investment Manager selects Portfolio Managers on the basis of various criteria, generally including, among other things: the Portfolio Manager’s performance during various time periods and market cycles; the Portfolio Manager’s reputation, experience and training; its articulation of, and adherence to, its investment philosophy; the presence and deemed effectiveness of its risk management discipline; results of on-site interviews of the management team; the quality and stability of the Portfolio Manager’s organization, including internal and external professional staff; and the existence of substantial investments in the Portfolio Manager’s investment program by key personnel of the Portfolio Manager.

The Investment Manager regularly evaluates each Portfolio Manager to determine whether such Portfolio Manager’s investment programs are consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and whether the Portfolio Manager’s investment performance is satisfactory. Based on these evaluations, the Investment Manager allocates and reallocates each Fund’s assets among Portfolio Managers and may terminate or add Portfolio Managers. While the addition of Portfolio Managers that do not manage Portfolio Accounts does not require the approval of Members, the addition of those that do manage Portfolio Accounts does require such approval.

See “Investment Objective and Principal Strategies.”

An investment in a Fund involves substantial risks and no assurance can be given that a Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Asset Allocation Program

The Funds may be purchased exclusively through the Investment Manager’s separate account asset allocation program (the “Program”). To participate in the Program, an investor must establish an investment management arrangement with the Investment Manager, pursuant to which the Investment Manager will have full discretionary authority (unless the investor otherwise directs) to allocate the investor’s assets among the Funds. The Investment Manager’s allocation decisions will be individualized for each investor in accordance with an asset allocation framework established for the investor that is based upon a consideration of a variety of factors relating to such investor. These factors may include, among other things, the investor’s investment objectives, its risk tolerance, its time horizon, its financial circumstances, its tax issues and its other existing investments. An investor will have the ability to impose reasonable restrictions on the management of its separate account. The Investment Manager will reconsider the asset allocation framework established for an investor when informed by the investor of a change in the investor’s particular investment needs or

circumstances. The Investment Manager will provide each investor with a variety of reports, including an analysis of the investor’s current asset allocation strategy. Pursuant to the Program, the Investment Manager generally anticipates that an investor’s assets will be allocated among all the Funds, although one or more of the Funds may be omitted for certain investors. In addition, the portion allocated to each Fund is likely to differ from one investor to another based on each investor’s particular investment objectives, risk tolerance, financial circumstances and other factors. The investment management arrangement established by the investor with the Investment Manager will contain specific terms and conditions of the investor’s participation in the Program, including certain restrictions on the right of the investor to withdraw from the Program.

The Investment Manager

The Funds’ investment manager, Aetos Alternatives Management, LLC, has operated as an investment adviser since January 2002. The Investment Manager managed more than $1.8 billion of assets as of September 30, 2004.

Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with each Fund (each, an “Advisory Agreement”), the Investment Manager is responsible for developing, implementing and supervising each Fund’s investment program, for providing day-to-day investment management services to each Fund, and for providing various administrative services to each Fund including, among other things, providing office space and other support services. The Investment Manager is authorized, subject to the approval of the Board of each Fund and Members of each Fund, to retain one of its affiliates to provide any or all of the investment advisory services required to be provided to the relevant Fund or to assist the Investment Manager in providing these services. See “Management of the Funds.”

In consideration for the services provided by the Investment Manager under the Advisory Agreements, each Fund pays the Investment Manager a monthly management fee (the “Management Fee”) computed at an annual rate of 0.75% of the net asset value of the Fund determined as of the last day of the month (before any repurchases of Interests). See “Management of the Funds.”

Administrative Fee

Each Fund pays SEI Investments Global Funds Services, its administrator (the “Administrator”), a monthly fee, based on month-end assets at an annual rate of up to 0.12%, subject to certain fee minimums, and will reimburse the Administrator for certain out-of-pocket expenses. The Administrator provides certain administrative, accounting and investor services to the Funds. See “Management of the Funds—Administrator and Custodian.”

Valuation

The valuation of the Funds’ investments in Portfolio Funds is ordinarily determined based upon valuations provided by the Portfolio Managers for the Portfolio Funds. Certain securities in which the Portfolio Funds invest may not have a readily ascertainable market price and will be valued by the Portfolio Managers at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Portfolio Funds.

In this regard, a Portfolio Manager may face a conflict of interest in valuing the securities, as their value will affect the Portfolio Manager’s compensation. Although the Investment Manager will review the valuation procedures used by all Portfolio Managers, the Investment Manager will not be able to confirm the accuracy of valuations provided by Portfolio Managers and valuations provided by Portfolio Funds generally will be conclusive with respect to the Funds. In addition, the net asset values or other valuation information received by the Investment Manager from a Portfolio Fund and used in calculating the Fund’s net asset value will include estimates, that may be subject to later adjustment or revision by the Portfolio Manager. Any such adjustment or revision will either increase or decrease the net asset value of the relevant Fund at the time that the Fund is provided with information regarding the adjustment. The Funds do not expect to restate their previous net asset values to reflect an adjustment or revision by a Portfolio Fund. In the unlikely event that a Portfolio Fund does not report a fiscal period end value to a Fund on a timely basis, the Fund would determine the fair value of the Portfolio Fund based on the most recent value reported by the Portfolio Fund, as well as any other relevant information available at the time the Fund values its portfolio.

Borrowing

Each Fund is authorized to borrow money (i) for investment purposes in respect of Portfolio Accounts only, (ii) to meet repurchase requests and (iii) for cash management purposes. A Fund will not borrow money in connection with its investments in Portfolio Funds. Borrowings by a Fund, including any borrowings on behalf of Portfolio Accounts, will be subject to a 300% asset coverage requirement under the Investment Company Act. Borrowings by Portfolio Funds that are not registered under the Investment Company Act are not subject to this requirement. Any borrowings by a Fund for investment purposes (a practice known as “leverage”) involve certain risks. See “Risk Factors—Leverage; Borrowing” and “Investment Objective and Principal Strategies—Borrowing; Use of Leverage.”

Investor Qualifications

Interests will be sold only to investors who represent that they have a net worth of more than $1,500,000 (with their spouses) or who otherwise are “qualified clients” as that term is defined by Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act (For purposes of these offerings, these investors are referred to herein as “Qualified Investors”). Interests may not be purchased by charitable remainder trusts unless Federal income tax laws change.

Before an investor may invest in any of the Funds, the Investment Manager will require a certification from the investor that it is a Qualified Investor and that it will not transfer its Interest except in the limited circumstances permitted under the relevant LLC Agreement. If an investor’s certification is not received on or before the date Interests are to be issued, the Investor’s order will not be accepted. See “Investor Qualifications.” An investment in each Fund involves substantial risks.

Investor Suitability

It is possible that an investor may lose some or all of its investment. Before making an investment decision, an investor should (i) consider the suitability of this investment with respect to its investment objectives and personal situation and (ii) consider factors such as its personal net worth, income, age, risk tolerance and liquidity needs.

The Offerings

Interests may be purchased exclusively through the Program. Aetos Capital Multi-Strategy Arbitrage Fund is offering $500,000,000 in Interests. Aetos Capital Long/Short Strategies Fund is offering $760,000,000 in Interests. Each of Aetos Capital Distressed Investment Strategies Fund and Aetos Capital Market Neutral Strategies Fund is offering $250,000,000 in Interests. Interests may be purchased on a monthly basis or at such other times as may be determined by the Board of each Fund. The minimum initial investment in the Program by an investor is $1,000,000. Subsequent investments must be at least $100,000.

Distribution Policy

Each Fund has no present intention of making periodic distributions of its net income or gains, if any, to Members. The amount and times of distributions, if any, will be determined in the sole discretion of the Fund’s Board. Whether or not distributions are made, Members will be required each year to report their distributive share of the relevant Fund’s taxable income or loss.

Unlisted Closed-End Structure; Limited Liquidity and Transfer Restrictions

Each Fund is a closed-end management investment company. Closed-end funds differ from open-end management investment companies (commonly known as mutual funds) in that investors in closed-end funds, such as the Funds, do not have the right to redeem their shares or interests on a daily basis.

In addition, there is no public market for Interests and none is expected to develop. With very limited exceptions, Interests are not transferable, and liquidity will be provided only through repurchase offers made from time to time by a Fund, as described below. If an investor attempts to transfer its Interest in violation of the relevant LLC Agreement, the transfer will not be permitted and will be void. An investment in a Fund is therefore suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of Interests and should be viewed as a long-term investment.

Repurchases of Interests

Members’ Interests in the Funds are not redeemable. Instead, each Fund from time to time will offer to repurchase outstanding Interests pursuant to written tenders by Members. Repurchase offers will be made periodically on terms determined by the Board. The Investment Manager will recommend to the Board that each Fund offer to repurchase Interests four times each year, as of the last business day of March, June, September and December. The Board has adopted a policy to authorize such quarterly repurchase offers, subject to current market, liquidity, asset allocation and other relevant considerations, including the extent to which Members have expressed an interest in redeeming Interests, so that Members of a Fund will have the ability to redeem their Interests to the same extent as the Fund has the ability

to redeem its interests in the Portfolio Funds. It is anticipated that each repurchase offer will extend only to a specified portion (not to exceed 25%) of a Fund’s net assets, based upon, among other things, the liquidity of the Fund’s assets. Because each Fund’s assets are expected to be extremely illiquid, it is anticipated that repurchase offers will be accordingly limited. However, the Investment Manager expects to manage the liquidity of each Fund (other than the Aetos Capital Distressed Investment Strategies Fund) so that a Member which desires to redeem its entire Interest in a Fund may do so within one year from the date of the expiration of the tender offer following the Member’s repurchase request. See “Risks and Special Considerations” and “Repurchases of Interests and Transfers.”

If a repurchase offer is oversubscribed by Members who tender Interests, a Fund will repurchase only a pro rata portion of the Interests tendered by each Member. In addition, a Fund may redeem all or part of an Interest if, among other reasons, the Investment Manager determines that it would be in the best interests of such Fund to do so. See “Repurchases of Interests and Transfers—No Right of Redemption” and “—Repurchases of Interests.”

Taxation

Counsel to the Funds has rendered an opinion that each Fund will be treated as a partnership and not as an association taxable as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes. Counsel to the Funds also has rendered its opinion that, under a “facts and circumstances” test set forth in regulations adopted by the U.S. Treasury Department, each Fund will not be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation. Accordingly, none of the Funds should be subject to Federal income tax, and each Member will be required to report on its own annual tax return such Member’s distributive share of the relevant Fund’s taxable income or loss.

If it were determined that a Fund should be treated as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation (as a result of a successful challenge to the opinions rendered by counsel to the Fund or otherwise), the taxable income of the relevant Fund would be subject to corporate income tax and any distributions of profits from the Fund would be treated as dividends. See “Taxes.”

ERISA Plans And Other Tax-Exempt Entities

Because the Funds and Portfolio Funds in which each Fund invests may use leverage, investors subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and other tax-exempt investors may incur income tax liability to the extent a Fund’s transactions are treated as giving rise to unrelated business taxable income. This investment is not designed for charitable remainder trusts and, therefore, such trusts may not purchase Interests unless Federal income tax laws change. See “Taxes.”

Risks and Special Considerations

An investment in a Fund involves substantial risks and special considerations, including the following:

•

Investing in a Fund can result in a loss of capital invested.

•

Portfolio Funds generally will not be registered as investment companies under the Investment Company Act.

•

Various risks are associated with the securities and other instruments in which Portfolio Managers may invest and the specialized investment techniques they may use.

•

Portfolio Funds may pursue investment strategies or make individual investments that have not been fully disclosed to the Investment Manager and are different from those expected to be made at the time a Fund made its decision to invest in the Portfolio Funds. Such strategies and investments may be inconsistent with the investment objectives and policies of the investing Fund and may involve unanticipated risks.

•

The Funds have, and certain Portfolio Funds may have, limited operating histories.

•

The Investment Manager may have limited access to the specific underlying holdings of the Portfolio Funds and little or no means of independently verifying information provided by Portfolio Managers.

•

In calculating the Fund’s net asset value, each Fund will utilize valuations of the Fund’s interests in Portfolio Funds provided by the Portfolio Managers, without any means of independent verification. Portfolio Managers face a conflict of interest in valuing securities held by Portfolio Funds because the values assigned will affect the compensation of the Portfolio Managers.

•

Interests are subject to substantial restrictions on transfer and are extremely illiquid.

•

A Fund may make additional investments in or effect withdrawals from Portfolio Funds only at certain times. Limitations on a Fund’s ability to withdraw its assets from Portfolio Funds will limit the Fund’s ability to repurchase its Interests.

•

A Fund may receive securities that are illiquid or difficult to value in connection with withdrawals and distributions from Portfolio Funds.

•

Portfolio Managers will charge a Fund asset-based fees and typically will also be entitled to receive performance-based allocations. These are in addition to the Management Fee charged to each investor. Investors will bear fees and expenses at the Fund level and also at the Portfolio Fund or Portfolio Account level.

•

Performance-based fees/allocation may create incentives for a Portfolio Manager to make risky investments.

•

Each Fund may be subject to performance-based allocations by Portfolio Managers even if the Fund’s overall returns are negative.

•

The fees payable by each Fund and Members are higher than those of most other registered investment companies, but are generally similar to those paid by many private investment funds and certain other registered investment companies with investment policies similar to those of the relevant Fund.

•

The Investment Manager and Portfolio Managers may have conflicts of interest.

•

Portfolio Managers may, in pursuing independently of one another their respective investment objectives, effect offsetting transactions, which could result in a Fund bearing transactional costs without obtaining any benefit.

•

Each Fund is a non-diversified fund.

•

Delays in Portfolio Manager reporting may delay reports to Members and require Members to seek extensions of the deadline to file their tax returns.

In view of the risks noted above, each Fund should be considered a highly speculative investment and investors should invest in a Fund only if they can bear a substantial risk of loss.

No guarantee or representation is made that the investment program of any Fund or any Portfolio Manager will be successful, that the various Portfolio Managers selected will produce positive returns or that any Fund will achieve its investment objective. See “Risk Factors.”

RISK FACTORS

An investment in a Fund involves substantial risks, and investors should invest in a Fund only if they can bear a substantial risk of loss. Each Fund allocates its assets to Portfolio Managers and invests in Portfolio Funds that invest in and actively trade securities and other financial instruments using different strategies and investment techniques that may involve significant risks. Various risks are also associated with an investment in a Fund, including risks relating to the multi-manager structure of the Fund, risks relating to compensation arrangements and risks relating to the limited liquidity of Interests.

Prospective investors should consider the following factors in determining whether an investment in a Fund is a suitable investment. However, the risks enumerated below should not be viewed as encompassing all of the risks associated with an investment in any of the Funds. Prospective investors should read this entire prospectus and the statement of additional information of the Funds (the “SAI”) and consult with their own advisers before deciding whether to invest. In addition, as a Fund’s investment program develops and changes over time (subject to limitations established by the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions), an investment in that Fund may in the future be subject to additional and different risk factors.

Investment-Related Risks

General Economic and Market Conditions. The success of each Fund’s investment program may be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, and national and international political circumstances. These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the liquidity of investments held by Portfolio Funds and Portfolio Accounts. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity could impair a Fund’s profitability or result in losses.

Highly Volatile Markets. The prices of commodities contracts and all derivative instruments, including futures and options, can be highly volatile. Price movements of forward, futures and other derivative contracts in which a Portfolio Fund’s or Portfolio Account’s assets may be invested are influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changing supply and demand relationships, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies of governments, and national and international political and economic events and policies. In addition, governments from time to time intervene, directly and by regulation, in certain markets, particularly those in currencies, financial instruments, futures and options. Such intervention often is intended directly to influence prices and may, together with other factors, cause all of such markets to move rapidly in the same direction because of, among other things, interest rate fluctuations. Portfolio Funds and Portfolio Accounts are also subject to the risk of the failure of any exchanges on which their positions trade or of the clearinghouses for those exchanges.

Risks of Securities Activities. All securities investing and trading activities involve the risk of loss of capital. While the Investment Manager will attempt to moderate these risks, there can be no assurance that a Fund’s investment activities will be successful or that Members will not suffer losses. The following discussion sets forth some of the more significant risks associated with the Portfolio Managers’ styles of investing:

Illiquid Portfolio Investments. Portfolio Funds and Portfolio Accounts may invest in securities that are subject to legal or other restrictions on transfer or for which no liquid market exists. The market prices, if any, for such securities tend to be volatile and a Portfolio Fund or Portfolio Account may not be able to sell them when it desires to do so or to realize what it perceives to be their fair value in the event of a sale. The sale of restricted and illiquid securities often requires more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of securities eligible for trading on national securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets. Restricted securities may sell at prices that are lower than similar securities that are not subject to restrictions on resale.

Equity Securities. Portfolio Managers’ investment portfolios may include long and short positions in common stocks, preferred stocks and convertible securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. Portfolio Managers also

may invest in depository receipts relating to non-U.S. securities. Equity securities fluctuate in value, often based on factors unrelated to the value of the issuer of the securities, and such fluctuations can be pronounced.

Fixed-Income Securities. The value of fixed-income securities in which Portfolio Funds and Portfolio Accounts invest will change in response to fluctuations in interest rates. In addition, the value of certain fixed-income securities can fluctuate in response to perceptions of creditworthiness, political stability or soundness of economic policies. Valuations of other fixed-income instruments, such as mortgage-backed securities, may fluctuate in response to changes in the economic environment that may affect future cash flows.

Non-U.S. Investments. It is expected that Portfolio Funds and Portfolio Accounts will invest in securities of non-U.S. companies and countries. Investing in these securities involves certain considerations not usually associated with investing in securities of U.S. companies or the U.S. government, including political and economic considerations, such as greater risks of expropriation and nationalization, confiscatory taxation, the potential difficulty of repatriating funds, general social, political and economic instability and adverse diplomatic developments; the possibility of imposition of withholding or other taxes on dividends, interest, capital gain or other income; the small size of the securities markets in such countries and the low volume of trading, resulting in potential lack of liquidity and in price volatility; fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies and costs associated with currency conversion; and certain government policies that may restrict a Portfolio Manager’s investment opportunities. In addition, accounting and financial reporting standards that prevail in foreign countries generally are not equivalent to United States standards and, consequently, less information is available to investors in companies located in such countries than is available to investors in companies located in the United States. Moreover, an issuer of securities may be domiciled in a country other than the country in whose currency the instrument is denominated. The values and relative yields of investments in the securities markets of different countries, and their associated risks, are expected to change independently of each other. There is also less regulation, generally, of the securities markets in foreign countries than there is in the United States. In addition, unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rate may adversely affect the U.S. dollar values of securities denominated in foreign currencies or traded in non-U.S. markets. Portfolio Managers may, but are generally not required to hedge against such risk, and there is no assurance that any attempted hedge will be successful.

Special Investment Instruments and Techniques

The Portfolio Managers may utilize a variety of special investment instruments and techniques to hedge the portfolios of the Portfolio Funds against various risks (such as changes in interest rates or other factors that affect security values) or for non-hedging purposes to pursue a Portfolio Fund’s or Portfolio Account’s investment objective. These strategies may be executed through derivative transactions. Certain of the special investment instruments and techniques that the Portfolio Managers may use are speculative and involve a high degree of risk, particularly in the context of non-hedging transactions.

Derivatives. Derivatives are securities and other instruments the value or return of which is based on the performance of an underlying asset, index, interest rate or other investment. Derivatives may be volatile and involve various risks, depending upon the derivative and its function in a portfolio. Special risks may apply to instruments that are invested in by Portfolio Funds or Portfolio Accounts in the future that cannot be determined at this time or until such instruments are developed or invested in by Portfolio Funds or Portfolio Accounts. Certain swaps, options and other derivative instruments may be subject to various types of risks, including market risk, liquidity risk, the risk of non-performance by the counterparty, including risks relating to the financial soundness and creditworthiness of the counterparty, legal risk and operations risk.

Call and Put Options. There are risks associated with the sale and purchase of call and put options. The seller (writer) of a call option which is covered (e.g., the writer holds the underlying security) assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the purchase price of the underlying security less the premium received, and gives up the opportunity for gain on the underlying security above the exercise price of the option. The seller of an uncovered call option assumes the risk of a theoretically unlimited increase in the

market price of the underlying security above the exercise price of the option. The securities necessary to satisfy the exercise of the call option may be unavailable for purchase except at much higher prices. Purchasing securities to satisfy the exercise of the call option can itself cause the price of the securities to rise further, sometimes by a significant amount, thereby exacerbating the loss. The buyer of a call option assumes the risk of losing its entire premium invested in the call option. The seller (writer) of a put option which is covered (e.g., the writer has a short position in the underlying security) assumes the risk of an increase in the market price of the underlying security above the sales price (in establishing the short position) of the underlying security plus the premium received, and gives up the opportunity for gain on the underlying security below the exercise price of the option. The seller of an uncovered put option assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the exercise price of the option. The buyer of a put option assumes the risk of losing his entire premium invested in the put option.

Hedging Transactions. The Portfolio Managers may utilize a variety of financial instruments, such as derivatives, options, interest rate swaps, caps and floors, futures and forward contracts to seek to hedge against declines in the values of their portfolio positions as a result of changes in currency exchange rates, certain changes in the equity markets and market interest rates and other events. Hedging transactions may also limit the opportunity for gain if the value of the hedged portfolio positions should increase. It may not be possible for the Portfolio Managers to hedge against a change or event at a price sufficient to protect a Portfolio Fund’s or Portfolio Account’s assets from the decline in value of the portfolio positions anticipated as a result of such change. In addition, it may not be possible to hedge against certain changes or events at all. While a Portfolio Manager may enter into such transactions to seek to reduce currency exchange rate and interest rate risks, or the risks of a decline in the equity markets generally or one or more sectors of the equity markets in particular, or the risks posed by the occurrence of certain other events, unanticipated changes in currency or interest rates or increases or smaller than expected decreases in the equity markets or sectors being hedged or the non-occurrence of other events being hedged against may result in a poorer overall performance for a Fund than if the Portfolio Manager had not engaged in any such hedging transaction. In addition, the degree of correlation between price movements of the instruments used in a hedging strategy and price movements in the portfolio position being hedged may vary. Moreover, for a variety of reasons, the Portfolio Managers may not seek to establish a perfect correlation between such hedging instruments and the portfolio holdings being hedged. Such imperfect correlation may prevent the Portfolio Managers from achieving the intended hedge or expose a Fund to additional risk of loss.

Counterparty Credit Risk. Many of the markets in which the Portfolio Funds or Portfolio Accounts effect their transactions are “over-the-counter” or “inter-dealer” markets. The participants in these markets are typically not subject to credit evaluation and regulatory oversight as are members of “exchange based” markets. To the extent a Portfolio Fund or Portfolio Account invests in swaps, derivative or synthetic instruments, or other over-the-counter transactions, on these markets, it is assuming a credit risk with regard to parties with whom it trades and may also bear the risk of settlement default. These risks may differ materially from those associated with transactions effected on an exchange, which generally are backed by clearing organization guarantees, daily marking-to-market and settlement, and segregation and minimum capital requirements applicable to intermediaries. Transactions entered into directly between two counterparties generally do not benefit from such protections. This exposes a Portfolio Fund or Portfolio Account to the risk that a counterparty will not settle a transaction in accordance with its terms and conditions because of a dispute over the terms of the contract (whether or not bona fide) or because of a credit or liquidity problem, thus causing the Portfolio Fund or Portfolio Account to suffer a loss. Such counterparty risk is accentuated in the case of contracts with longer maturities where events may intervene to prevent settlement, or where a Portfolio Fund or Portfolio Account has concentrated its transactions with a single or small group of counterparties. Portfolio Funds and Portfolio Accounts are not restricted from dealing with any particular counterparty or from concentrating any or all of their transactions with one counterparty. The ability of Portfolio Funds and Portfolio Accounts to transact business with any one or number of counterparties, the lack of any independent evaluation of such counterparties’ financial capabilities and the absence of a regulated market to facilitate settlement may increase the potential for losses by a Fund.

Leverage; Interest Rates; Margin. Each Fund is authorized to borrow money for investment purposes, to meet repurchase requests and for cash management purposes. Portfolio Funds generally are also permitted to borrow money. The Funds, Portfolio Funds and Portfolio Accounts may directly or indirectly borrow funds from brokerage firms and banks. Borrowing for investment purposes is known as “leverage.” Portfolio Funds and Portfolio Accounts may also “leverage” by using options, swaps, forwards and other derivative instruments. Although leverage presents opportunities for increasing total investment return, it has the effect of potentially increasing losses as well. Any event that adversely affects the value of an investment, either directly or indirectly, by a Portfolio Fund or Portfolio Account could be magnified to the extent that leverage is employed. The cumulative effect of the use of leverage, directly or indirectly, in a market that moves adversely to the investments of the entity employing the leverage could result in a loss that would be greater than if leverage were not employed. In addition, to the extent that a Fund, Portfolio Managers or Portfolio Funds borrow funds, the rates at which they can borrow may affect the operating results of the Fund. Any borrowings by a Fund for investment purposes will be made solely for Portfolio Accounts.

In general, the anticipated use of short-term margin borrowings by Portfolio Funds and Portfolio Accounts results in certain additional risks. For example, should the securities that are pledged to brokers to secure margin accounts decline in value, or should brokers from which the Portfolio Funds or Portfolio Funds have borrowed increase their maintenance margin requirements (i.e., reduce the percentage of a position that can be financed), then the Portfolio Funds or Portfolio Accounts could be subject to a “margin call,” pursuant to which they must either deposit additional funds with the broker or suffer mandatory liquidation of the pledged securities to compensate for the decline in value. In the event of a precipitous drop in the value of the assets of a Portfolio Fund or Portfolio Account, it might not be able to liquidate assets quickly enough to pay off the margin debt and might suffer mandatory liquidation of positions in a declining market at relatively low prices, thereby incurring substantial losses. For these reasons, the use of borrowings for investment purposes is considered a speculative investment practice.

Short Selling. The Portfolio Managers may engage in short selling. Short selling involves selling securities that are not owned and borrowing the same securities for delivery to the purchaser, with an obligation to replace the borrowed securities at a later date. Short selling allows an investor to profit from declines in market prices to the extent such declines exceed the transaction costs and the costs of borrowing the securities. A short sale creates the risk of an unlimited loss, as the price of the underlying security could theoretically increase without limit, thus increasing the cost of buying those securities to cover the short position. There can be no assurance that the securities necessary to cover a short position will be available for purchase. Purchasing securities to close out the short position can itself cause the price of the securities to rise further, thereby exacerbating the loss. For these reasons, short selling is considered a speculative investment practice.

General Risks

Limited Operating History. Each Fund has been operational for approximately two years and thus has a limited operating history that investors can use to evaluate its investment performance. Certain Portfolio Funds may also be recently or newly formed entities and have limited or no operating histories. In such cases, the Investment Manager will have evaluated the past investment performance of Portfolio Managers or their personnel. However, this past investment performance may not be indicative of the future results of an investment in a Portfolio Fund managed by a Portfolio Manager. Although the Investment Manager, its affiliates and their personnel have considerable experience evaluating the performance of alternative asset managers and providing manager selection and asset allocation services to clients, they have limited experience overseeing a fund-of-funds such as the Funds. A Fund’s investment program should be evaluated on the basis that there can be no assurance that the Investment Manager’s assessments of Portfolio Managers, and in turn their assessments of the short-term or long-term prospects of investments, will prove accurate. Thus, a Fund may not achieve its investment objective and a Fund’s net asset value may decrease.

Non-Diversified Status. Each Fund is a “non-diversified” investment company. Thus, there are no percentage limitations imposed by the Investment Company Act on the percentage of a Fund’s assets that may be

invested in the securities of any one issuer. Each Fund may invest up to 40% of its net assets in any one Portfolio Fund or any one Portfolio Manager. Also, there are no requirements that the investments of Portfolio Funds be diversified. The portfolio of a Fund may therefore be subject to greater risk than the portfolio of a similar fund that diversifies its investments.

Incentive Allocation. Each Portfolio Manager generally will be entitled to receive performance-based allocations, generally expected to range from 15%-25% of net profits. Performance-based allocations may create an incentive for Portfolio Managers to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than those that might have been made in the absence of such arrangements. In addition, because the performance-based allocations are generally calculated on a basis that includes realized and unrealized appreciation, these allocations may be greater than if they were based solely on realized gains.

Conflicts of Interest. The Investment Manager and its affiliates, as well as many of the Portfolio Managers and their respective affiliates, provide investment advisory and other services to clients other than the Funds and Portfolio Funds. In addition, investment professionals associated with the Investment Manager or Portfolio Managers may carry on investment activities for their own accounts and the accounts of family members (collectively with other accounts managed by the Investment Manager and their affiliates, “Other Accounts”). The Funds and Portfolio Funds have no interest in these activities. As a result of the foregoing, the Investment Manager and Portfolio Managers are engaged in substantial activities other than on behalf of the Funds and may have differing economic interests in respect of such activities and may have conflicts of interest in allocating investment opportunities, and their time, between a Fund and Other Accounts.

There may be circumstances under which the Investment Manager or a Portfolio Manager will cause one or more Other Accounts to commit a larger percentage of their assets to an investment opportunity than the percentage of a Fund’s or a Portfolio Fund’s assets they commit to such investment. There also may be circumstances under which the Investment Manager or a Portfolio Manager purchases or sells an investment for their Other Accounts and does not purchase or sell the same investment for a Fund or a Portfolio Fund, or purchases or sells an investment for a Fund and does not purchase or sell the same investment for one or more Other Accounts. However, it is the policy of the Investment Manager, and generally also the policy of the Portfolio Managers, that investment decisions for the Funds, Portfolio Accounts and Other Accounts be made based on a consideration of their respective investment objectives and policies, and other needs and requirements affecting each account that they manage, and investment transactions and opportunities be fairly allocated among their clients, including the Funds and Portfolio Funds.

The Investment Manager, Portfolio Managers and their respective affiliates may have interests in Other Accounts they manage which differ from their interests in a Fund and Portfolio Funds and may manage such accounts on terms that are more favorable to them than the terms on which they manage a Fund or Portfolio Funds. In addition, the Investment Manager and Portfolio Managers may charge fees to Other Accounts and be entitled to receive performance-based incentive allocations from Other Accounts that are lower than the fees to which a Fund and its Members are subject.

Tax Risks. A noncorporate Member’s share of a Fund’s investment expenses (including the Management Fee, the fee paid to the Administrator and any fee payable to the managers of a Portfolio Fund) may be subject to certain limitations on deductibility for regular Federal income tax purposes. Such expenses may be completely disallowed for purposes of determining whether the noncorporate Member’s alternative minimum tax liability will apply. (See “Taxes.”)

Distributions to Members and Payment of Tax Liability. The Funds do not intend to make periodic distributions of their net income or gains, if any, to Members. Whether or not distributions are made, Members will be required each year to pay applicable Federal and state income taxes on their respective shares of the relevant Fund’s taxable income, and may have to pay applicable taxes from other sources. The amount and times of any distributions will be determined in the sole discretion of the Fund’s Board. See “Taxes.”

Possible Delays in Reports to Members and Schedule K-1s. It is unlikely that the Funds will be able to provide final Schedules K-1 to Members for any given fiscal year until significantly after April 15 of the following year. Final Schedule K-1s will not be available until after completion of the annual audits of a Fund’s Portfolio Funds. Members will be required to obtain extensions of the filing date for their income tax returns at both the Federal, state and local level.

Considerations for ERISA Plans and Other Tax-Exempt Entities. Investors subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and other tax-exempt entities, including employee benefit plans, Individual Retirement Accounts and 401(k) and Keogh Plans, may purchase Interests. Because a Fund and the Portfolio Funds in which it invests may use leverage, a tax-exempt investor may incur income tax liability to the extent a Fund’s transactions are treated as giving rise to unrelated business taxable income. (See “Taxes.”) This investment is not designed for charitable remainder trusts and, therefore, such trusts may not purchase Interests unless Federal income tax laws change.

Special Risks of Multi-Manager Structure

Portfolio Funds generally will not be registered as investment companies under the Investment Company Act and, therefore, the Funds will not have the benefit of various protections afforded by the Investment Company Act with respect to their investments in Portfolio Funds. For example, registered investment companies are subject to various custody and safekeeping provisions designed to protect the companies’ assets. Portfolio Funds are not subject to these provisions and may be subject to a greater risk of loss associated with a failed custody relationship.

Although the Investment Manager expects to receive detailed information from each Portfolio Manager regarding its investment performance and investment strategy on a regular basis, in most cases the Investment Manager may have limited access to the specific underlying holdings of the Portfolio Funds and little or no means of independently verifying the information that is provided by the Portfolio Managers. Portfolio Funds may pursue investment strategies or make individual investments that have not been fully disclosed to the Investment Manager and are different from those expected to be made at the time a Fund made its decision to invest in the Portfolio Funds. Such strategies and investments may be inconsistent with the investment objectives and policies of the investing Fund and may involve unanticipated risks.

By investing in the Portfolio Funds and Portfolio Accounts indirectly through a Fund, investors bear asset-based fees at the Fund level and both asset-based fees and performance-based allocations at the Portfolio Fund or Portfolio Account level. Similarly, Members bear a proportionate share of the other operating expenses of a Fund (including administrative expenses) and, indirectly, similar expenses of the Portfolio Funds and Portfolio Accounts. An investor who meets the conditions imposed by the Portfolio Managers, including investment minimums that may be considerably higher than the $1,000,000 minimum imposed by the Program, could invest directly with the Portfolio Managers.

Each Portfolio Manager will receive any performance-based allocation to which it is entitled irrespective of the investment performance of other Portfolio Managers or the investment performance of a Fund generally. Thus, a Portfolio Manager with positive investment performance will receive this allocation from a Fund (and indirectly from Members) even if the Fund’s overall investment return is negative. Investment decisions of the Portfolio Managers are made independently of each other. As a result, at any particular time, one Portfolio Manager may be purchasing shares of an issuer for a Portfolio Fund or Portfolio Account whose shares are being sold by another Portfolio Manager for another Portfolio Fund or Portfolio Account. In any such situations, a Fund could indirectly incur certain transaction costs without accomplishing any net investment result.

Since each Fund may make additional investments in or effect withdrawals from a Portfolio Fund only at certain times pursuant to limitations set forth in the governing documents of the Portfolio Fund, a Fund from time to time may have to invest a greater portion of its assets temporarily in money market securities than it otherwise

might wish to invest, may have to borrow money to repurchase Interests, and may not be able to withdraw its investment in a Portfolio Fund promptly after it has made a decision to do so. This may adversely affect a Fund’s investment return or increase a Fund’s expenses.

Portfolio Funds may be permitted to redeem their interests in-kind. Thus, upon a Fund’s withdrawal of all or a portion of its interest in a Portfolio Fund, the Fund may receive securities that are illiquid or difficult to value. In these circumstances, the Investment Manager would seek to dispose of these securities in a manner that is in the best interests of such Fund.

A Fund may agree to indemnify certain of the Portfolio Funds and, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Investment Company Act, the Portfolio Managers from liability, damage, cost or expense arising out of, among other things, certain acts or omissions.

Portfolio Account Allocations. A Fund may on occasion allocate its assets to a Portfolio Manager by retaining the Portfolio Manager to manage a Portfolio Account for the Fund, rather than invest in the Portfolio Manager’s Portfolio Fund. Portfolio Accounts can expose a Fund to theoretically unlimited liability, and it is possible, given the leverage at which certain of the Portfolio Managers will trade, that a Fund could lose more in a Portfolio Account that is managed by a particular Portfolio Manager than such Fund has allocated to such Portfolio Manager to invest. This risk may be avoided if a Fund, instead of retaining a Portfolio Manager to manage a separate account comprised of a designated portion of a Fund’s assets, creates a separate investment vehicle for which a Portfolio Manager will serve as general partner/manager and in which the Fund will be the sole limited partner/member. Use of this structure, however, involves various expenses, and there is no requirement that separate investment vehicles be created for Portfolio Accounts.

Portfolio Funds Valuation. Neither the Investment Manager nor the Board will be able to confirm independently the accuracy of the valuations provided by a Portfolio Manager. Furthermore, these valuations will typically be estimates only, subject to revision based on each Portfolio Fund’s annual audit. Such revisions, whether increasing or decreasing the net asset value of a Fund at the time they occur, because they relate to information available only at the time of the revision, will not affect the amount of the repurchase proceeds of the Fund received by Members who had their Interests repurchased and received all of their repurchase proceeds prior to such adjustments. As a result, to the extent that such subsequently adjusted valuations from the Portfolio Managers or revisions to net asset value of a Portfolio Fund adversely affect a Fund’s net asset value, the outstanding Interests will be adversely affected by prior repurchases to the benefit of Members who had their Interests repurchased at a net asset value higher than the adjusted amount. Conversely, any increases in the net asset value resulting from such subsequently adjusted valuations will be entirely for the benefit of the outstanding Interests and to the detriment of Members who previously had their Interests repurchased at a net asset value lower than the adjusted amount. The same principles apply to the purchase of Interests. New Members may be affected in a similar way. Revisions to a Fund’s gain and loss calculations will be an ongoing process, and no appreciation or depreciation figure can be considered final until the Fund’s annual audit is completed.

Certain securities in which Portfolio Funds invest may not have readily ascertainable market prices. These securities will nevertheless generally be valued by Portfolio Managers, which valuations will be conclusive with respect to a Fund, even though Portfolio Managers will generally face a conflict of interest in valuing such securities because the values given to the securities will affect the compensation of the Portfolio Managers. Any such securities held by a Portfolio Account will be valued at their “fair value” as determined in good faith by the relevant Fund’s Board.

Limited Liquidity; In-kind Distributions. With very limited exceptions, Interests are not transferable, and liquidity will be provided only through repurchase offers made from time to time by a Fund. An investment in a Fund is therefore suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of Interests and should be viewed as a long-term investment.

Limitations on a Fund’s ability to withdraw its assets from Portfolio Funds will limit the Fund’s ability to repurchase its Interests. For example, many Portfolio Funds impose lock-up periods prior to allowing withdrawals, which can be two years or longer. After expiration of the lock-up period, withdrawals typically are permitted only on a limited basis, such as semi-annually or annually. Because the primary source of funds to repurchase Interests will be withdrawals from Portfolio Funds, the application of these lock-ups and withdrawal limitations will significantly limit a Fund’s ability to repurchase its Interests.

Payment for repurchased Interests may require a Fund to liquidate portfolio holdings earlier than the Investment Manager would otherwise liquidate these holdings, potentially resulting in losses, and may increase a Fund’s portfolio turnover. The Investment Manager intends to take measures (subject to such policies as may be established by a Fund’s Board) to attempt to avoid or minimize potential losses and turnover resulting from the repurchase of Interests.

If a Member tenders its Interest (or a portion of its Interest) in connection with a repurchase offer made by a Fund, that tender may not be rescinded by the Member after the date on which the repurchase offer terminates. However, the value of Interests that are tendered by Members generally will not be determined until a date approximately one month later and will be based on the value of a Fund’s assets as of such later date. A Member will thus continue to bear investment risk after an Interest is tendered for repurchase and until the date as of which the Interest is valued for purposes of repurchase. Each Fund expects to distribute cash to the holders of Interests that are repurchased. However, there can be no assurance that a Fund will have sufficient cash to pay for Interests that are being repurchased or that it will be able to liquidate investments at favorable prices to pay for repurchased Interests. Although the Funds do not generally intend to make distributions in-kind, under the foregoing circumstances, and in other circumstances where a Fund’s Board determines that making a cash payment would result in a material adverse effect on the Fund or on Members not tendering Interests for repurchase, Members may receive in-kind distributions of investments from the Fund’s portfolio in connection with the repurchase of Interests by the Fund. Any investments so distributed will be generally readily marketable; however, Members will incur commissions and other transaction costs in disposing of the investments. For these various reasons, an investment in the Interests is suitable only for sophisticated investors. See “Repurchases of Interests and Transfers.”

USE OF PROCEEDS

Each Fund will invest the net proceeds of its offering in accordance with its investment objective, investment policies and principal strategies. Each Fund paid organizational and initial offering costs of approximately $138,400 from the proceeds of its offering.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES

Investment Objective and Policies of the Funds

Each Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. Current income is not an objective. No assurance can be given that a Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Each Fund’s investment objective is fundamental and may not be changed without the approval of its Members. However, except as otherwise stated in this prospectus or in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”), the investment policies and restrictions of a Fund are not fundamental and may be changed by its Board. The Funds’ fundamental investment policies are listed in the SAI. Each Fund’s principal investment policies and strategies are discussed below. Each Fund may change any investment policies and strategies that are not fundamental, if its Board believes doing so would be consistent with the Fund’s investment objective.

The Investment Programs of the Funds

Aetos Capital Multi-Strategy Arbitrage Fund

The Aetos Capital Multi-Strategy Arbitrage Fund allocates its assets among a select group of Portfolio Managers that utilize a variety of arbitrage investment strategies to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes. The Aetos Capital Multi-Strategy Fund is intended to be a vehicle by which investors can access a portfolio of high quality arbitrage strategies, constructed and monitored using dedicated resources and disciplined methodologies.

Event-driven and relative value arbitrage strategies seek to exploit mispricings between related instruments or combinations of instruments. These strategies use a variety of techniques to compare the value of related securities. Some, such as event-driven arbitrage, involve fundamental research that assess the value of securities within a company’s capital structure or the value of the securities of two companies that are expected to merge. Others, such as convertible arbitrage and fixed income arbitrage, involve sophisticated modeling techniques that assess the value of a given security and a related derivative instrument, such as an equity and a convertible bond, or a treasury bond and a related futures contract.

Event-driven arbitrage and relative value strategies make investments in the securities of companies involved in certain special situations, including mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, spin-offs, balance sheet restructuring, bankruptcy and other situations. These special situations constitute an “event” which the Portfolio Manager believes will trigger a change in the price of securities relative to their current price or close the gap between securities that are being arbitraged. Event-driven arbitrage strategies generally feature portfolios that are actively traded and may exhibit a high rate of turnover. Portfolio Managers may periodically utilize leverage and may enter into swaps and other similar financial contracts in an effort to increase portfolio returns. Portfolio Managers also generally may engage in short selling, options hedging, and other arbitrage techniques to capture price differentials. Portfolio Managers may from time to time take positions in the securities of companies not currently involved in announced transactions, but that are believed to be undervalued and likely candidates for future corporate actions.

Convertible arbitrage strategies make investments in convertible securities, such as convertible bonds, convertible preferred stock, warrants or options, combined with offsetting short investments in the underlying

security for which the convertible can be exchanged. Portfolio Managers generate returns by correctly identifying undervalued or overvalued convertible securities, while realizing income from dividends and coupons associated with the convertible securities and trading-related profits from adjusting the ratio of the hedged position to the value of the convertible security. Portfolio Managers in convertible arbitrage strategies may engage in short selling, options hedging, and other arbitrage techniques to capture price differentials found in the convertible securities and warrants in which they invest. While most Portfolio Managers utilizing convertible arbitrage attempt to capture a perceived mispricing of the option component of a convertible security, they may also look for mispricing of the underlying credit of the issuing company. Portfolio Mangers may periodically utilize a significant amount of leverage.

Fixed income arbitrage strategies exploit mispricings between related fixed income instruments, including sovereign debt, corporate debt and derivative instruments such as futures, options and swaps. Exploitable opportunities may be found in closely related securities trading at different prices, in the value between fixed income instruments and related derivative instruments, in the shape of yield curves and in credit spreads. These strategies typically require leverage in order to exploit relatively small mispricings.

Aetos Capital Distressed Investment Strategies Fund

The Aetos Capital Distressed Investment Strategies Fund allocates its assets among a select group of Portfolio Managers across a variety of distressed investment strategies to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes. The Aetos Capital Distressed Investment Strategies Fund is intended to be a vehicle by which investors can access a portfolio of high quality distressed investment strategies, constructed and monitored using dedicated resources and disciplined methodologies.

Distressed investment strategies invest in the securities of companies in various levels of financial distress, including bankruptcy, exchange offers, workouts, financial reorganizations and other credit-related situations. Corporate bankruptcy or distress often causes a company’s securities to trade at a discounted value. Through an understanding of the complex business and legal procedures associated with the situation, the Portfolio Manager may have the ability to purchase these securities and to exit the investment at an attractive risk-adjusted rate of return.

This strategy may seek to identify distressed securities in general or focus on one particular segment of the market (such as the senior secured debt sector or the equity portion of distressed companies). Profits are expected from the market’s lack of understanding of the intrinsic value of the discounted securities and because many institutional investors cannot own below-investment grade securities. Investments may be acquired with the intention of remaining passive or with the intent to participate actively in a restructuring. When participating actively in a restructuring, a Portfolio Manager will attempt to modify or improve a restructuring plan with the intent of improving the value of such securities upon consummation of a restructuring. Additionally, a Portfolio Manager may take an active role and seek representation in management on a board of directors or a creditors’ committee. In order to achieve these objectives, a Portfolio Manager may purchase, sell, exchange, or otherwise deal in and with restricted or marketable securities including, without limitation, any type of debt security, preferred or common stock, warrants, options, and hybrid instruments. A significant portion of a Portfolio Manager’s distressed securities portfolio may be invested in restricted securities that may not be registered and for which a market may not be readily available, and, therefore, a significant portion of the portfolio may not be freely traded. Investments may involve both U.S. and non-U.S. entities, may involve both long and short positions and may utilize leverage. Information about specific investments may be limited, thereby reducing a Portfolio Manager’s ability to monitor the performance and to evaluate the advisability of continued investments in specific situations.

Aetos Capital Long/Short Strategies Fund

The Aetos Capital Long/Short Strategies Fund allocates its assets among a select group of Portfolio Managers across a variety of long/short strategies to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital,

largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes. In addition, the Aetos Capital Long/Short Strategies Fund may allocate a portion of its assets to Portfolio Managers that invest in short only strategies under certain circumstances in order to achieve a desired balance between its relative long and short exposure. The Aetos Capital Long/Short Strategies Fund is intended to be a vehicle by which investors can access a portfolio of high quality long/short strategies, constructed and monitored using dedicated resources and disciplined methodologies.

Long/short strategies are investments that combine long positions in undervalued common stocks or corporate bonds and short positions in overvalued common stocks or corporate bonds in order to focus on generating positive returns through the Portfolio Manager’s ability to select securities through fundamental analysis, while hedging out some portion of market risk.

The Portfolio Manager maintains flexibility to tilt the portfolio’s exposure to the overall equity or bond markets and to certain regions, industry sectors, or capitalization structures. In general, a Portfolio Manager will maintain a net long exposure. An exception is for those Portfolio Managers that are classified as short biased, which will in general maintain a net short exposure.

Aetos Capital Market Neutral Strategies Fund

The Aetos Capital Market Neutral Strategies Fund allocates capital among a select group of Portfolio Managers across a variety of market neutral strategies to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes. The Aetos Capital Market Neutral Strategies Fund is intended to be a vehicle by which investors can access a portfolio of high quality market neutral strategies, constructed and monitored using dedicated resources and disciplined methodologies.

Market neutral strategies build portfolios of long and short positions that attempt to be market neutral with respect to movements in stock and bond markets, Equity and fixed income market neutral Portfolio Managers will create long and short portfolios of stocks or bonds within a given country. These managers use both fundamental research and quantitative techniques to select portfolios that own attractively valued securities and are short overvalued securities, while maintaining near neutral exposure to factors such as stock and bond market movements, industry and size exposure. Returns generally are purely a function of manager skill as opposed to underlying market movements. Global tactical asset allocation Portfolio Managers create offsetting positions which are long the equity, fixed income markets or currency of some countries and short those of other countries while attempting to remain neutral to the overall movement in global stock or bond markets.

The Asset Allocation Program

The Funds may be purchased exclusively through the Program. To participate in the Program, an investor must establish an investment management arrangement with the Investment Manager, pursuant to which the Investment Manager will have full discretionary authority (unless the investor otherwise directs) to allocate the investor’s assets among the Funds. The Investment Manager’s allocation decisions will be individualized for each investor in accordance with an asset allocation framework established for the investor that is based upon a consideration of a variety of factors relating to such investor. These factors may include, among other things, the investor’s investment objectives, its risk tolerance, its time horizon, its financial circumstances, its tax issues and its other existing investments. An investor will have the ability to impose reasonable restrictions on the management of its separate account. The Investment Manager will reconsider the asset allocation framework established for an investor when informed by the investor of a change in the investor’s particular investment needs or circumstances. The Investment Manager will provide each investor with a variety of reports, including an analysis of the investor’s current asset allocation strategy. Pursuant to the Program, the Investment Manager generally anticipates that an investor’s assets will be allocated among all the Funds, although one or more of the Funds may be omitted for certain investors. In addition, the portion allocated to each Fund is likely to differ from

one investor to another based on each investor’s particular investment objectives, risk tolerance, financial circumstances and other factors. The investment management arrangement established by the investor will contain specific terms and conditions of the investor’s participation in the Program, including certain restrictions on the right of the investor to withdraw from the Program.

The Multi-Manager Approach

Each Fund’s structure and its investment approach are intended to provide investors several advantages over direct investments in private investment funds, including the ability to invest in a professionally constructed and managed investment portfolio, access to a diverse group of Portfolio Managers that utilize varying investment styles and strategies, and reduced risk exposure that comes from investing with multiple Portfolio Managers that have exhibited low volatility of investment returns and low correlation to one another.

The multi-manager approach followed by each Fund involves allocation of each Fund’s assets to Portfolio Managers that employ different absolute return investment styles and strategies and provides investors access to a variety of Portfolio Managers. Each of the strategies employed by the Funds encompasses a broad range of investment programs that historically have exhibited a low correlation to the performance of equity, debt and other markets. They include investment programs involving use of hedging and arbitrage techniques in the equity, fixed income, currency and commodity markets. These investment programs employ a variety of sophisticated investment techniques that include, among other things, short sales of securities, use of leverage, and transactions in derivative securities and other financial instruments such as stock options, index options, futures contracts and options on futures.

Each Fund invests in various types of Portfolio Funds managed by Portfolio Managers, including limited partnerships, joint ventures, other investment companies and similar entities. However, a Fund may on occasion retain Portfolio Managers to manage and invest designated portions of its assets (either as separately managed accounts or by creating separate investment vehicles in which a Portfolio Manager will serve as general partner of the vehicle and the relevant Fund will be the sole limited partner). (Any arrangement in which a Fund retains a Portfolio Manager to manage an account or investment vehicle is referred to as a “Portfolio Account”). Each Fund will not invest more than 40% of its total assets in any one Portfolio Fund or with any one Portfolio Manager.

The retention of a Portfolio Manager to manage a Portfolio Account is subject to the approval of the relevant Fund’s Board, including a majority of the persons comprising the Board who are not “interested persons,” as defined by the Investment Company Act, of the relevant Fund or the Portfolio Manager (the “Independent Managers”). The retention of a Portfolio Manager will in such cases also be subject to approval by the relevant Fund’s Members, unless the Fund seeks and obtains an order of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) exempting it from this requirement. To the extent a Fund retains a Portfolio Manager to manage and invest its assets in a Portfolio Account, the Portfolio Account and all assets invested in it will be subject to the requirements of the Investment Company and the Fund will look through to the underlying assets of the Portfolio Account for purposes of compliance with the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions. In addition, a Portfolio Manager of a Portfolio Account will be a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act and will be subject to the requirements of the Investment Company that apply to the relationship between an investment company and its investment adviser.

Selection of Portfolio Managers

Portfolio Managers are selected on the basis of various criteria, generally including, among other things, an analysis of: the Portfolio Manager’s performance during various time periods and market cycles; volatility of the Portfolio Manager’s investment returns; the correlation to other Portfolio Managers; the Portfolio Manager’s reputation, experience and training; its articulation of and adherence to its investment philosophy; the presence and deemed effectiveness of risk management discipline; on-site interviews of the management team; the quality

and stability of the Portfolio Manager’s organization, including internal and external professional staff; and whether key personnel of the Portfolio Manager have substantial personal investments in the Portfolio Manager’s investment program.

Portfolio Manager screening and selection includes both quantitative and qualitative analysis in an effort to maximize each Fund’s risk-adjusted return profile. The quantitative due diligence efforts focus on the manager’s financial statements and performance reports and involve assessing risk controls, strategy specific risks, leverage, quality and sustainability of investment returns and drawdown analysis. Each Fund also conducts returns based statistical analysis to ascertain that the portfolio characteristics are consistent with the espoused strategy and mandate. The qualitative analysis includes an onsite inspection to obtain a better understanding of the investment process being employed and to ensure that the manager’s investment process is consistent with the chosen strategy. This on-site due diligence entails an examination of such qualitative factors as; the manager’s integrity, experience, investment philosophy and rationale behind historical and current portfolio positions, documentations, organizational culture and cohesiveness, fund structure, adherence to risk management procedures, staffing, accounting and operational procedures.

Each Fund will limit its investment in any one Portfolio Fund to less than 5% of the Portfolio Fund’s voting securities at the time of purchase, absent an SEC order (or assurances from the SEC staff) permitting investments constituting a greater percentage of such securities. However, to permit the investment of more of its assets in a Portfolio Fund deemed attractive by the Investment Manager, a Fund may purchase non-voting securities of Portfolio Funds or contractually forgo its voting rights, subject to a limitation that a Fund will not purchase voting and non-voting interests in a Portfolio Fund that in the aggregate represent 25% or more of a Portfolio Fund’s outstanding equity.

Portfolio Managers generally invest in marketable securities, although Portfolio Managers may also invest in privately placed securities and other investments that are illiquid. Interests in Portfolio Funds are not themselves marketable and only have limited liquidity. Portfolio Managers may invest and trade in a wide range of instruments and markets, including, but not limited to, domestic and foreign equities and equity-related instruments, currencies, financial futures, and fixed income and other debt-related instruments. Portfolio Managers are generally not limited as to the markets (either by location or type, such as large capitalization, small capitalization or non-U.S. markets) in which they may invest or the investment discipline that they may employ (such as value, growth or bottom-up or top-down analysis). In managing Portfolio Funds, the Portfolio Managers are not subject to the relevant Fund’s investment policies and restrictions or the various limitations and prohibitions applicable to the activities of investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act (such as the Funds). However, each Fund’s investment policies and restrictions, and limitations imposed by the Investment Company Act, do apply in the case of Portfolio Accounts.

The Investment Manager regularly evaluates each Portfolio Manager to determine whether its investment program is consistent with the relevant Fund’s investment objective and whether its investment performance is satisfactory. Based on these evaluations, the Investment Manager allocates and reallocates a Fund’s assets among Portfolio Managers and may terminate or add Portfolio Managers, as it determines appropriate and consistent with a Fund’s investment objective. Members do not vote on the retention or termination of a Portfolio Manager, except that the retention of any Portfolio Manager to manage a Portfolio Account is subject to the approval of the relevant Fund’s Board and the Fund’s Members. A Fund may seek to obtain an SEC order exempting it from the requirement that Members approve Portfolio Managers that are retained to manage Portfolio Accounts. However, no assurance can be given that such an order will be issued.

Borrowing; Use of Leverage

for similar purposes. The use of borrowings for investment purposes is known as “leverage” and involves a high degree of risk. The investment programs of certain Portfolio Managers may make extensive use of leverage. See “Risk Factors—Leverage; Borrowing.”

Each Fund is subject to the Investment Company Act requirement that an investment company satisfy an asset coverage requirement of 300% of its indebtedness, including amounts borrowed, measured at the time the investment company incurs the indebtedness (the “Asset Coverage Requirement”). This means that the value of a Fund’s total indebtedness may not exceed one-third the value of its total assets (including such indebtedness). These limits do not apply to the Portfolio Funds that are not registered under the Investment Company Act and, therefore, a Fund’s portfolio may be exposed to the risk of highly leveraged investment programs of certain Portfolio Funds. The Asset Coverage Requirement will apply to borrowings by Portfolio Accounts.

Short Selling

Each Fund may sell securities short. To effect a short sale, a Fund will borrow the security from a brokerage firm, or other permissible financial intermediary, and make delivery to the buyer. The Fund then is obligated to replace the borrowed security by purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund, which would result in a loss or gain, respectively. The use of short sales is a speculative practice and involves significant risks. See “Risk Factors—Short Selling.”

Derivatives

Portfolio Funds and Portfolio Accounts may use financial instruments, known as derivatives, for purposes of hedging portfolio risk and for non-hedging purposes. Examples of derivative include stock options, index options, futures and options on futures. Transactions in derivatives involve certain risks. See “Risk Factors—Derivatives.”

Short-Term and Defensive Investments

Each Fund invests its cash reserves in high quality short-term investments. These investments may include money market instruments and other short-term debt obligations, money market mutual funds, and repurchase agreements with banks and broker-dealers. During periods of adverse market or economic conditions, each Fund may temporarily invest all or a significant portion of its assets in these securities or hold cash. This could prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective. Repurchase agreements involve certain risks that are described in the SAI.

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS

General

Each Fund’s Board provides broad oversight over the operations and affairs of the Fund. A majority of each Fund’s Board is comprised of persons who are Independent Managers.

Aetos Alternatives Management, LLC (the “Investment Manager”) serves as the investment manager of each Fund, subject to the ultimate supervision of and subject to any policies established by the Fund’s Board, pursuant to the terms of an investment advisory agreement with each Fund (each, an “Advisory Agreement”). The Investment Manager has operated as an investment adviser since January 2002. The Investment Manager (including its subsidiaries) managed more than $1.8 billion of assets as of September 30, 2004. The Investment Manager is located at 875 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022.

Under the Advisory Agreements, the Investment Manager is responsible for developing, implementing and supervising each Fund’s investment program, for providing day-to-day investment management services to each Fund, and for providing various administrative services to each Fund including, among other things, providing office space and other support services. The Investment Manager is authorized, subject to the approval of the relevant Fund’s Board and the Fund’s Members, to retain one of its affiliates to provide any or all of the investment advisory services required to be provided to each Fund or to assist the Investment Manager in providing these services.

Administrator and Custodian

SEI Investments Global Fund Services (the “Administrator”) provides certain administration, accounting and investor services for the Funds. In consideration for such services, each Fund pays the Administrator, a monthly fee, based on month-end net assets, at an annual rate of up to 0.12%, subject to certain fee minimums, and reimburses the Administrator for certain out-of-pocket expenses. SEI Private Trust Company acts as custodian for each Fund’s assets.

Fund Expenses

Each Fund bears its own expenses including, but not limited to: any taxes; organizational expenses; offering costs; investment-related expenses incurred by the Fund (e.g., fees and expenses charged by the Portfolio

Managers and Portfolio Funds, placement fees, interest on indebtedness, fees for data and software providers, research expenses, professional fees (including, without limitation, expenses of consultants and experts) relating to investments); custody and administrative fees and expenses; the fees and expenses of legal counsel to the Fund, legal counsel to the Independent Managers and the Fund’s independent public accountants; tax preparation expenses; corporate licensing fees; the fees and expenses of Managers who are not employees of the Investment Manager or one of its affiliates, including travel, insurance and other expenses associated with the operation of the Fund; and such other expenses as may be approved by the relevant Fund’s Board. Each Fund reimburses the Investment Manager for any of the above expenses that it pays on behalf of the Fund.

Each Fund’s organizational expenses were approximately $70,400, and each Fund also bore certain expenses, totaling approximately $68,000, associated with the initial offering of its Interests. Organizational expenses were allocated to Members as described under “Capital Accounts—Allocation of Special Items.”

INVESTOR QUALIFICATIONS

Interests may be purchased exclusively through the Program. Under the Program, an investor will establish an investment management arrangement with the Investment Manager, pursuant to which the Investment Manager will have full discretionary authority to invest the investor’s assets among the Funds as it sees fit, unless the investor otherwise directs. Interests are being offered only to investors who are “qualified clients” as that term is defined by Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act. Currently, qualified clients include natural persons and companies (other than investment companies) that have a net worth (together, in the case of a natural person, with assets held jointly with a spouse) of more than $1,500,000, or who meet the standard for a “qualified purchaser” in the Investment Company Act and the rules thereunder. Qualified clients also include persons who have at least $750,000 under the Investment Manager’s or its affiliates’ management, including any amount invested in a Fund, and certain knowledgeable employees who participate in the Investment Manager’s investment activities. All of these persons are referred to in this prospectus as “Qualified Investors.” In addition, Interests may not be purchased by charitable remainder trusts unless Federal income tax laws change. You must complete and sign an investor certification that you meet these requirements before you may invest in a Fund. No Fund will be obligated to sell to brokers or dealers any Interests that have not been placed with Qualified Investors that meet all applicable requirements to invest in a Fund.

REPURCHASES OF INTERESTS AND TRANSFERS

No Right of Redemption

No Member or other person holding an Interest or a portion of an Interest acquired from a Member will have the right to require a Fund to redeem that Interest or portion thereof. There is no public market for Interests, and none is expected to develop. With very limited exceptions, Interests are not transferable and liquidity will be provided only through limited repurchase offers which will be made from time to time by each Fund. Any transfer of an Interest in violation of a Fund’s LLC Agreement will not be permitted and will be void. Consequently, Members may not be able to liquidate their investment other than as a result of repurchases of Interests by a Fund, as described below. For information on each Fund’s policies regarding transfers of Interest, see “Repurchases and Transfers of Interests” in the SAI.

Repurchases of Interests

Each Fund from time to time will offer to repurchase outstanding Interests pursuant to written tenders by Members. Repurchase offers will be made periodically on terms determined by a Fund’s Board. In making these determinations, the Fund’s Board will consider the recommendations of the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager will recommend to the Board that each Fund offer to repurchase Interests four times each year, as of the

last business day of March, June, September and December. The Board has adopted a policy to authorize such quarterly repurchase offers, subject to current market, liquidity, asset allocation and other relevant considerations, including the extent to which Members have expressed an interest in redeeming Interests, so that Members of a Fund will have the ability to redeem their Interests to the same extent as the Fund has the ability to redeem its interests in its Portfolio Funds. Quarterly repurchases also will serve as mechanism for the payment by Members of the Program Fees charged by the Investment Manager. It is anticipated that each repurchase offer will extend only to a specified portion (not to exceed 25%) of a Fund’s net assets, based upon, among other things, the liquidity of the Fund’s assets. Because each Fund’s assets are expected to be extremely illiquid, it is anticipated that repurchase offers will be accordingly limited. However, the Investment Manager expects to manage the liquidity of each Fund (other than the Aetos Capital Distressed Investment Strategies Fund) so that a Member which desires to redeem its entire Interest in a Fund may do so within one year from the date of the expiration of the tender offer following the Member’s repurchase request. See “Repurchases and Transfers of Interests” in the SAI. The Board will also consider the following factors, among others, in making its determinations:

•

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

•

the liquidity of a Fund’s assets;

•

the investment plans and working capital requirements of a Fund;

•

the relative economies of scale with respect to the size of a Fund;

•

the history of a Fund in repurchasing Interests or portions thereof;

•

the economic condition of the securities markets; and

•

the anticipated tax consequences of any proposed repurchases of Interests or portions thereof on remaining Fund investors.

Each Board will determine that a Fund repurchase Interests or portions thereof from Members pursuant to written tenders only on terms the Board determines to be fair to the relevant Fund and its Members. When a Board determines that a Fund will make a repurchase offer, notice of that offer will be provided to each Member describing the terms of the offer, and containing information that Members should consider in deciding whether to tender Interests for repurchase. Members who are deciding whether to tender their Interests or portions thereof during the period that a repurchase offer is open may ascertain the estimated net asset value of their Interests (which is calculated once a month at month-end) from the Administrator during the period the offer remains open.

Repurchases of Interests from Members by a Fund may be paid in cash or by the distribution of securities in-kind, or partly in cash and partly in-kind. However, none of the Funds expects to distribute securities in-kind except in the unlikely event that making a cash payment would result in a material adverse effect on a Fund or on its Members not tendering Interests for repurchase. Repurchases will be effective after receipt and acceptance by a Fund of all eligible written tenders of Interests or portions thereof from Members. Any in-kind distribution of securities will consist of marketable securities traded on an established securities exchange (valued in accordance with the relevant LLC Agreement), which will be distributed to all tendering Members on an equal basis. None of the Funds imposes any charges in connection with repurchases of Interests or a portion of Interests.

A Member that tenders its entire Interest will generally have a taxable event when the Interest is repurchased. Gain, if any, will be recognized by a tendering Member only as and after the total proceeds received by the Member exceed the Member’s adjusted tax basis in the Interest. A loss, if any, will be recognized only after the Member has received full payment of the repurchase amount.

Repurchase Procedures

Due to liquidity restraints associated with each Fund’s investments in Portfolio Funds and the fact that a Fund will normally have to effect withdrawals from those funds to pay for Interests being repurchased, it is

presently expected that, under the procedures applicable to the repurchase of Interests, Interests will be valued for purposes of determining their repurchase price approximately one month after the date by which Members must submit a repurchase request (the “Valuation Date”) and that a Fund will generally pay the value of the Interests or portions thereof repurchased (or as discussed below, 90% of such value in the case a Member’s entire Interest is repurchased) approximately one month after the Valuation Date, or if the Fund has requested withdrawals of its capital from any Portfolio Funds in order to fund the purchase of Interests, within ten business days after the Fund has received at least 90% of the aggregate amount withdrawn by the Fund from the Portfolio Funds. The amount that a Member may expect to receive on the repurchase of the Member’s Interest (or portion thereof) will be the value of the Member’s capital account (or portion thereof being repurchased) determined on the Valuation Date and based on the net asset value of the relevant Fund’s assets as of that date, after giving effect to all allocations to be made as of that date to the Member’s capital account. This value will be subject to adjustment upon completion of the annual audit of the relevant Fund’s financial statements for the fiscal year in which the repurchase is effected (which it is expected will be completed within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year). If the entire Interest of a Member is repurchased, the initial payment will be 90% of the estimated value of the Interest and the balance due will be determined and paid promptly after completion of the relevant Fund’s audit and be subject to audit adjustment.

Under these procedures, Members will have to decide whether to tender their Interests for repurchase without the benefit of having current information regarding the value of Interests as of a date proximate to the Valuation Date. In addition, there will be a substantial period of time between the date as of which Members must tender Interests and the date they can expect to receive payment for their Interests from a Fund. Payments for repurchased Interests may be delayed under circumstances where a Fund has determined to redeem its interests in Portfolio Funds to make such payments, but has experienced delays in receiving proceeds from the Portfolio Funds.

A Member who tenders for repurchase only a portion of the Member’s Interest will be required to maintain an aggregate balance in the Program equal to at least $1,000,000. If a Member tenders a portion of an Interest and the repurchase of that portion would cause the Member’s aggregate balance in the Program to fall below this required minimum, each Fund reserves the right to reduce the portion of the Interest to be purchased from the Member so that the required minimum balance is maintained.

Repurchases of Interests by each Fund are subject to certain regulatory requirements imposed by SEC rules.

Mandatory Redemption By A Fund

Each LLC Agreement provides that the relevant Fund may redeem an Interest (or portion thereof) of a Member or any person acquiring an Interest (or portion thereof) from or through a Member under certain circumstances, including if: ownership of the Interest by the Member or other person will cause the Fund to be in violation of certain laws; continued ownership of the Interest may adversely affect the Fund; any of the representations and warranties made by a Member in connection with the acquisition of the Interest was not true when made or has ceased to be true; or it would be in the best interests of the Fund to repurchase the Interest or a portion thereof.

CALCULATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

Each Fund computes its net asset value as of the last business day of each “fiscal period” (as defined under “Capital Accounts” below). In determining its net asset value, each Fund values its investments as of such fiscal period end. The net asset value of each Fund equals the value of the assets of the Fund, less all of its liabilities, including accrued fees and expenses. The Board has approved procedures pursuant to which each Fund values its investments in Portfolio Funds at fair value. In accordance with these procedures, fair value as of each fiscal period end ordinarily will be the value determined as of such fiscal period end for each Portfolio Fund in

accordance with the Portfolio Fund’s valuation policies and reported at the time of each Fund’s valuation. As a general matter, the fair value of a Fund’s interest in a Portfolio Fund will represent the amount that the Fund could reasonably expect to receive from a Portfolio Fund if the Fund’s interest were redeemed at the time of valuation, based on information reasonably available at the time the valuation is made and that the Fund believes to be reliable. In the unlikely event that a Portfolio Fund does not report a fiscal period end value to a Fund on a timely basis, the Fund would determine the fair value of such Portfolio Fund based on the most recent value reported by the Portfolio Fund, as well as any other relevant information available at the time the Fund values its portfolio. Using the nomenclature of the hedge fund industry, any values reported as “estimated” or “final” values will reasonably reflect market values of securities for which market quotations are available or fair value as of each Fund’s valuation date.

Prior to investing in any Portfolio Fund, the Investment Manager will conduct a due diligence review of the valuation methodology utilized by the Portfolio Fund, which as a general matter will utilize market values when available, and otherwise utilize principles of fair value that the Investment Manager reasonably believes to be consistent with those used by each Fund for valuing its own investments. Although the procedures approved by the Board provide that the Investment Manager will review the valuations provided by the Portfolio Managers to the Portfolio Funds, neither the Investment Manager nor the Board will be able to confirm independently the accuracy of valuations provided by such Portfolio Managers (which are unaudited).

Each Fund’s valuation procedures require the Investment Manager to consider all relevant information available at the time the Fund values its portfolio. The Investment Manager and/or the Board will consider such information, and may conclude in certain circumstances that the information provided by the investment adviser of a Portfolio Fund does not represent the fair value of a Fund’s interests in the Portfolio Fund. Although redemptions of interests in Portfolio Funds are subject to advance notice requirements, Portfolio Funds will typically make available net asset value information to holders which will represent the price at which, even in the absence of redemption activity, the Portfolio Fund would have effected a redemption if any such requests had been timely made or if, in accordance with the terms of the Portfolio Fund’s governing documents, it would be necessary to effect a mandatory redemption. Following procedures adopted by the Board, in the absence of specific transaction activity in interests in a particular Portfolio Fund, each Fund would consider whether it was appropriate, in light of all relevant circumstances, to value such a position at its net asset value as reported at the time of valuation, or whether to adjust such value to reflect a premium or discount to net asset value. Consistent with industry practice, the Funds may not always apply a discount in cases where there was no contemporaneous redemption activity in a particular Portfolio Fund. In other cases, as when a Portfolio Fund imposes extraordinary restrictions on redemptions, or when there have been no recent transactions in Portfolio Fund interests, a Fund may determine that it was appropriate to apply a discount to the net asset value of the Portfolio Fund. Any such decision would be made in good faith, and subject to the review and supervision of the Board.

The valuations reported by the Portfolio Managers of the Portfolio Funds, upon which each Fund calculates its fiscal period end net asset values, may be subject to later adjustment, based on information reasonably available at that time. For example, fiscal year-end net asset value calculations of the Portfolio Funds are audited by those funds’ independent auditors and may be revised as a result of such audits. Other adjustments may occur from time to time. Such adjustments or revisions, whether increasing or decreasing the net asset value of a Fund at the time they occur, because they relate to information available only at the time of the adjustment or revision, will not affect the amount of the repurchase proceeds of the Fund received by Members who had their Interests repurchased prior to such adjustments and received their repurchase proceeds. As a result, to the extent that such subsequently adjusted valuations from the Portfolio Managers or revisions to net asset value of a Portfolio Fund adversely affect a Fund’s net asset value, the outstanding Interests will be adversely affected by prior repurchases to the benefit of Members who had their Interests repurchased at a net asset value higher than the adjusted amount. Conversely, any increases in the net asset value resulting from such subsequently adjusted valuations will be entirely for the benefit of the outstanding Interests and to the detriment of Members who previously had their Interests repurchased at a net asset value lower than the adjusted amount. The same principles apply to the purchase of Interests. New Members may be affected in a similar way.

The procedures approved by the Board provide that, where deemed appropriate by the Investment Manager and consistent with the 1940 Act, investments in Portfolio Funds may be valued at cost. Cost would be used only when cost is determined to best approximate the fair value of the particular security under consideration. For example, cost may not be appropriate when a Fund is aware of sales of similar securities to third parties at materially different prices or in other circumstances where cost may not approximate fair value (which could include situations where there are no sales to third parties). In such a situation, a Fund’s investment will be revalued in a manner that the Investment Manager, in accordance with procedures approved by the Board, determines in good faith best reflects approximate market value. The Board is responsible for ensuring that the valuation policies utilized by the Investment Manager are fair to the Funds and consistent with applicable regulatory guidelines.

To the extent the Investment Manager invests the assets of a Fund in securities or other instruments that are not investments in Portfolio Funds, the Fund will generally value such assets as described below. Domestic exchange-traded securities and NASDAQ-listed securities will be valued at their last composite sales prices as reported on the exchanges where such securities are traded. If no sales prices are reported on a particular day, the securities will be valued based upon their composite bid prices for securities held long, or their composite ask prices for securities held short, as reported by the appropriate exchange, dealer, or pricing service. Securities traded on a foreign securities exchange will generally be valued at their last sales prices on the exchange where such securities are primarily traded, or in the absence of a reported sale on a particular day, at their bid prices, in the case of securities held long, or ask prices, in the case of securities held short, as reported by the appropriate exchange, dealer, or pricing service. Redeemable securities issued by a registered open-end investment company will be valued at the investment company’s net asset value per share less any applicable redemption fee. Other securities for which market quotations are readily available will be valued at their bid prices, or ask prices in the case of securities held short, as obtained from one or more dealers making markets for such securities. If market quotations are not readily available, securities and other assets will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures approved by the Board.

In general, fair value represents a good faith approximation of the current value of an asset and will be used when there is no public market or possibly no market at all for the asset. The fair values of one or more assets may not be the prices at which those assets are ultimately sold. In such circumstances, the Investment Manager and/or the Board will reevaluate its fair value methodology to determine what, if any, adjustments should be made to the methodology.

Debt securities will be valued in accordance with a Fund’s valuation procedures, which generally provide for using a third-party pricing system, agent, or dealer selected by the Investment Manager, which may include the use of valuations furnished by a pricing service that employs a matrix to determine valuations for normal institutional size trading units. The Board monitors periodically the reasonableness of valuations provided by any such pricing service. Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less, absent unusual circumstances, will be valued at amortized cost, so long as such valuations are determined by the Board to represent fair value.

Assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. dollars using foreign exchange rates provided by a pricing service. Trading in foreign securities generally is completed, and the values of such securities are determined, prior to the close of securities markets in the United States. Foreign exchange rates are also determined prior to such close. On occasion, the values of securities and exchange rates may be affected by events occurring between the time as of which determination of such values or exchange rates are made and the time as of which the net asset value of a Fund is determined. When such events materially affect the values of securities held by the Fund or its liabilities, such securities and liabilities may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures approved by the Board.

The Investment Manager acts as investment adviser to other clients that may invest in securities for which no public market price exists. The Investment Manager may use other acceptable methods of valuation in these contexts that may result in differences in the value ascribed to the same security owned by the Funds and other

clients. Consequently, the fees charged to the Funds and other clients may be different, since the method of calculating the fees takes the value of all assets, including assets carried at different valuations, into consideration.

Expenses of the Funds, including the Investment Manager’s investment management fee and the costs of any borrowings, are accrued on a monthly basis on the day net asset value is calculated and taken into account for the purpose of determining net asset value.

Prospective investors should be aware that situations involving uncertainties as to the value of portfolio positions could have an adverse effect on the net assets of the Funds if the judgments of the Board, the Investment Manager, or Portfolio Managers should prove incorrect. Also, Portfolio Managers will only provide determinations of the net asset value of Portfolio Funds on a weekly or monthly basis, in which event it will not be possible to determine the net asset value of the Funds more frequently.

CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

General

Each Fund maintains a separate capital account for each Member, which has an opening balance equal to the Member’s initial contribution to the capital of the Fund. Each Member’s capital account will be increased by the sum of the amount of cash and the value of any securities constituting additional contributions by the Member to the capital of a Fund, plus any amounts credited to the Member’s capital account as a reallocation of organizational expenses (see “Capital Accounts—Allocation of Special Items”) or as described below. Similarly, each Member’s capital account in a Fund will be reduced by the sum of the amount of any repurchase by the Fund of the Member’s Interest, or portion thereof, plus the amount of any distributions to the Member which are not reinvested, plus any amounts debited against the Member’s capital account as a reallocation of organizational expenses or as described below.

Capital accounts of Members are adjusted as of the close of business on the last day of each fiscal period. With respect to each Fund, a fiscal period begins on the day after the last day of the preceding fiscal period and ends at the close of business on (1) the last day of each fiscal year, (2) the last day of each taxable year, (3) the day preceding the date on which a contribution to the capital of the Fund is made, (4) the day on which the Fund repurchases any Interest (or portion thereof) of any Member, or (5) the day on which any amount is credited to or debited from the capital account of any Member other than an amount to be credited to or debited from the capital accounts of all Members in accordance with their respective investment percentages. An investment percentage is determined for each Member as of the start of each fiscal period by dividing the balance of the Member’s capital account as of the commencement of the period by the sum of the balances of all capital accounts of all Members as of that date.

Allocation of Net Profits and Losses

Net profits or net losses of each Fund for each fiscal period will be allocated among and credited to or debited against the capital accounts of Members as of the last day of each fiscal period in accordance with Members’ respective investment percentages for the period. Net profits or net losses will be measured as the net change in the value of the net assets of a Fund (including any net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and realized income and gains or losses and expenses (including organizational expenses) during a fiscal period, before giving effect to any repurchases by the Fund of Interests (or portions thereof), and excluding the amount of any items to be allocated among the capital accounts of the Members of the Fund other than in accordance with the Members’ respective investment percentages.

Allocations for Federal income tax purposes generally will be made among Members so as to reflect equitably amounts credited or debited to each Member’s capital account for the current and prior taxable years.

Under each LLC Agreement, the Investment Manager has the discretion to allocate specially an amount of a Fund’s capital gains, including short-term capital gain, for Federal income tax purposes to the Investment Manager and to a withdrawing Member, in either case to the extent that its capital account exceeds its Federal income tax basis in its Interest.

Allocation of Special Items

Before a relatively recent change to the guidelines followed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, each Fund would have been able to amortize its organizational expenses over a 60 month period. Because of that change, however, these expenses now must be expensed as incurred. To achieve a more equitable distribution of the impact of organizational and initial offering expenses among the Members, an amount equal to these expenses incurred by each Fund has been allocated among and credited to or debited from the capital accounts of Members of the Fund based on the percentage that a Member’s contributed capital to the Fund bore to the total capital contributed to the Fund by all Members as of January 31, 2003. Each Fund also will bear certain ongoing offering costs associated with any periodic offers of Fund Interests. Offering costs cannot be deducted by a Fund or its Members.

Withholding taxes or other tax obligations incurred by a Fund which are attributable to any Member of the Fund will be debited against the capital account of that Member as of the close of the fiscal period during which the Fund paid those obligations, and any amounts then or thereafter distributable to the Member will be reduced by the amount of those taxes. If the amount of those taxes is greater than the distributable amounts, then the Member and any successor to the Member’s Interest is required to pay upon demand to the Fund, as a contribution to the capital of the Fund, the amount of the excess.

Generally, any expenditures payable by a Fund, to the extent paid or withheld on behalf of, or by reason of particular circumstances applicable to, one or more, but fewer than all of the Members, will be charged to only those Members of the Fund on whose behalf the payments are made or whose particular circumstances gave rise to the payments. These charges will be debited to the capital accounts of the applicable Members as of the close of the fiscal period during which the items were paid or accrued by the Fund.

Reserves

Appropriate reserves may be created, accrued and charged against net assets and proportionately against the capital accounts of the Members of a Fund for contingent liabilities as of the date the contingent liabilities become known to the Fund. Reserves will be in such amounts (subject to increase or reduction) which the Fund may deem necessary or appropriate. The amount of any reserve (or any increase or decrease therein) will be proportionately charged or credited, as appropriate, to the capital accounts of those Members who are Members at the time when the reserve is created, increased or decreased, as the case may be; provided, however, that if the reserve (or any increase or decrease therein) exceeds the lesser of $500,000 or 1% of the aggregate value of the capital accounts of all those Members, the amount of the reserve, increase, or decrease shall instead be charged or credited to those Members who were Members at the time, as determined by the Fund, of the act or omission giving rise to the contingent liability for which the reserve was established, increased or decreased in proportion to their capital accounts at that time.

Voting

Each Member of a Fund will have the right to cast a number of votes based on the value of the Member’s capital account in the Fund relative to the value of the capital accounts of all Members in the Fund at any meeting of Members called by the Fund’s Board or investors holding at least a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Members. Members of a Fund will be entitled to vote on any matter on which shareholders of a registered investment company organized as a corporation would be entitled to vote, including the election of the Board, the approval of the Fund’s Advisory Agreement and the approval of the Fund’s independent public accountants, in each case to the extent that voting by shareholders is required by the

Investment Company Act. Except for the exercise of their voting rights, Members of a Fund will not be entitled to participate in the management or control of the Fund’s business, and may not act for or bind the Fund.

TAXES

The following is a summary of certain aspects of the Federal income taxation of each Fund and its Members which should be considered by a prospective Member. The Funds have not sought a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) or any other Federal, state or local agency with respect to any of the tax issues affecting the Funds, nor have they obtained an opinion of counsel with respect to any Federal tax issues other than the characterization of each Fund as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes, and there can be no assurance that the Service will not disagree with or that a court will sustain the positions discussed herein.

This summary only discusses certain aspects of the Federal income tax treatment of the Funds and is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), judicial decisions, existing, temporary and proposed Treasury Regulations (the “Regulations”) and administrative pronouncements in existence on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change or different interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary does not discuss the impact of various proposals to amend the Code which could change certain of the tax consequences of an investment in a Fund. This summary also does not discuss all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular investor or to certain investors subject to special treatment under the Federal income tax laws, such as insurance companies.

EACH PROSPECTIVE MEMBER SHOULD CONSULT WITH ITS OWN TAX ADVISER IN ORDER FULLY TO UNDERSTAND THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN A FUND.

In addition to the particular matters set forth in this section, tax-exempt organizations should review carefully those sections of the prospectus and the SAI regarding liquidity and other financial matters to ascertain whether the investment objectives of a Fund are consistent with their overall investment plans. Each prospective tax-exempt Member is urged to consult its own tax adviser regarding the acquisition of Interests.

Tax Treatment of Fund Operations

Classification of the Funds. Each Fund has received an opinion of Clifford Chance US LLP, counsel to the Funds, that under the provisions of the Code and the Regulations, as in effect on the date of the opinion, as well as under the relevant authority interpreting the Code and the Regulations, and based upon certain representations of the relevant Fund’s Board, the Fund will be treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and not as an association taxable as a corporation.

Under Section 7704 of the Code, “publicly traded partnerships” are generally treated as corporations for Federal income tax purposes. A publicly traded partnership is any partnership the interests in which are traded on an established securities market or which are readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof). Interests in a Fund will not be traded on an established securities market. Regulations concerning the classification of partnerships as publicly traded partnerships (the “Section 7704 Regulations”) 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 Funds may not be eligible for any of those safe harbors. In particular, a Fund will not qualify under the private placement safe harbor set forth in the Section 7704 Regulations if the Fund has more than 100 Members.

The Section 7704 Regulations specifically provide that the fact that a partnership does not qualify for the safe harbors is disregarded for purposes of determining whether interests in a partnership are readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof). Rather, in this event the partnership’s status is examined under a general facts and circumstances test set forth in the Section 7704 Regulations. Clifford Chance

US LLP has previously rendered its opinion that, under this “facts and circumstances” test, and based upon the anticipated operations of the Funds as well as the legislative history to Section 7704 of the Code, the text of the Section 7704 Regulations and certain representations of the Board, the interests in a Fund will not be readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof) and, therefore, that the Fund will not be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation.

Neither of the opinions of counsel described above, however, is binding on the Service or the courts. If it were determined that a Fund should be treated as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes (as a result of a successful challenge to such opinions by the Service, changes in the Code, the Regulations or judicial interpretations thereof, a material adverse change in facts, or otherwise), the taxable income of the Fund would be subject to corporate income tax when recognized by the Fund; distributions of such income, other than in certain redemptions of Interests, would be treated as dividend income when received by the Members of the Fund to the extent of the current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Fund; and Members of the Fund would not be entitled to report profits or losses realized by the Fund.

UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, REFERENCES IN THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF FUND INVESTMENTS, ACTIVITIES, INCOME, GAIN AND LOSS, INCLUDE THE DIRECT INVESTMENTS, ACTIVITIES, INCOME, GAIN AND LOSS OF A FUND, AND THOSE INDIRECTLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO A FUND AS A RESULT OF IT BEING AN INVESTOR IN A PORTFOLIO FUND.

As partnerships, the Funds are not themselves subject to Federal income tax. Each Fund files an annual partnership information return with the Service which reports the results of operations. Each Member of a Fund is required to report separately on its income tax return its distributive share of the Fund’s net long-term capital gain or loss, net short-term capital gain or loss and all other items of ordinary income or loss. Each Member of a Fund is taxed on its distributive share of the Fund’s taxable income and gain regardless of whether it has received or will receive a distribution from the Fund. For a more detailed discussion of certain aspects of the income taxation of each Fund and its investments under Federal and state law, see “Tax Aspects” in the SAI.

OFFERING

Purchase Terms

Interests are being offered only to Qualified Investors that meet all requirements to invest in the Funds. The minimum initial investment in the Program by an investor is $1,000,000. Subsequent investments must be at least $100,000. These minimums may be waived by the Investment Manager from time to time for certain investors, including, but not limited to, officers and employees of the Investment Manager and its affiliates.

Interests may be purchased on a monthly basis, or at such other times as may be determined by the relevant Fund’s Board. All investor funds for the closings of the sales of Interests will be deposited in an escrow account set up at SEI Investments Mutual Funds Services (the “Escrow Agent”) for the benefit of the investors. The Escrow Agent will invest all funds it receives in accordance with Rule 15c2-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any interest collected on the funds will be paid to investors on the date Interests are issued. The full amount of an investment is payable in federal funds, which must be received by the Escrow Agent not later than the business day preceding the date as of which Interests are to be issued.

Before an investor may invest in a Fund, the Investment Manager will require a certification from the investor that it is a Qualified Investor and meets other requirements for investment, and that the investor will not transfer its Interest except in the limited circumstances permitted under the relevant LLC Agreement. If an investor’s certification is not received on or before the date Interests are to be issued, the Investor’s order will not be accepted.

The form of LLC Agreement for each Fund is annexed as Appendix A to this prospectus. Each new investor will be bound by all of the terms of the LLC Agreement.

GENERAL INFORMATION

ARTICLE II

ORGANIZATION; ADMISSION OF MEMBERS

By signing this Agreement or signing an Investment Management Agreement, a Member admitted on the Closing Date shall be deemed to have voted for the election of each of the Managers so designated.

In the event that no Manager remains to continue the business of the Fund, the Investment Manager shall promptly call a meeting of the Members, to be held within 60 days after the date on which the last Manager ceased to act in that capacity, for the purpose of determining whether to continue the business of the Fund and, if the business shall be continued, of electing the required number of Managers to the Board of Managers.

Subject to the foregoing, a person may be admitted to the Fund as a Member subject to the

ARTICLE III

MANAGEMENT

Section 3.1 Management and Control

(a)

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

(b)

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

(c)

The Board of Managers may delegate to any other person (including the Investment Manager) any rights, power and authority vested by this Agreement in the Board of Managers to the extent permissible under

applicable law, and may appoint persons to serve as officers of the Fund, with such titles and authority as may be determined by the Board of Managers consistent with applicable law.

Section 3.2 Actions by the Board of Managers

(a)

Unless provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Board of Managers shall act only: (i) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Managers (including the vote of a majority of the Independent Managers if required by the 1940 Act) present at a meeting duly called at which a quorum of the Managers shall be present (in person or, if in person attendance is not required by the 1940 Act, by telephone) or (ii) by unanimous written consent of all of the Managers without a meeting, if permissible under the 1940 Act.

(b)

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

Section 3.3 Meetings of Members

(a)

Actions requiring the vote of the Members may be taken at any duly constituted meeting of the Members at which a quorum is present. Meetings of the Members may be called by the Board of Managers or by Members holding 75% or more of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Members, and may be held at such time, date and place as the Board of Managers shall determine. The Board of Managers shall arrange to provide written notice of the meeting, stating the date, time and place of the meeting and the record date therefor, to each Member entitled to vote at the meeting within a reasonable time prior thereto. Failure to receive notice of a meeting on the part of any Member shall not affect the validity of any act or proceeding of the meeting, so long as a quorum shall be present at the meeting, except as otherwise required by applicable law. Only matters set forth in the notice of a meeting may be voted on by the Members at a meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of Members holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all Members as of the record date shall constitute a quorum at any meeting. In the absence of a quorum, a meeting of the Members may be adjourned by action of a majority of the Members present in person or by proxy without additional notice to the Members. Except as otherwise required by any provision of this Agreement or of the 1940 Act, (i) those candidates receiving a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of Members shall be elected as Managers and (ii) all other actions of the Members taken at a meeting shall require the affirmative vote of Members holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by those Members who are present in person or by proxy at such meeting.

(b)

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

(c)

A Member may vote at any meeting of Members by a proxy properly executed in writing by the Member and filed with the Fund before or at the time of the meeting. A proxy may be suspended or revoked, as the case may be, by the Member executing the proxy by a later writing delivered to the Fund at any time prior to exercise of the proxy or if the Member executing the proxy shall be present at the meeting and decide to vote in person. Any action of the Members that is permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Members

may be taken without a meeting if consents in writing, setting forth the action taken, are signed by Members holding a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast or such greater percentage as may be required in order to approve such action.

Section 3.4 Custody of Assets of the Fund

The physical possession of all funds, Securities or other properties of the Fund shall at all times, be held, controlled and administered by one or more custodians retained by the Fund in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder.

Section 3.5 Other Activities of Members and Managers

(a)

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

(b)

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

Section 3.6 Duty of Care

(a)

No Manager shall be liable to the Fund or to any of its Members for any loss or damage occasioned by any act or omission in the performance of the Manager’s services pursuant to any agreement, including this Agreement, between a Manager and the Fund for the provision of services to the Fund unless it shall be determined by final judicial decision on the merits from which there is no further right to appeal that such loss is due to an act or omission of the Manager constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the performance of the Manager’s services to the Fund.

(b)

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

Section 3.7 Indemnification

(a)

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Fund shall, subject to Section 3.7(b) hereof, indemnify each Manager (including for this purpose his or her respective executors, heirs, assigns, successors or other legal representatives), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, or as fines or penalties, and reasonable counsel fees, incurred in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit, investigation or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any judicial, arbitral, administrative or legislative body, in which such indemnitee may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise, or with which such indemnitee may be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of being or having been a Manager of the Fund or the past or present performance of services to the Fund by such indemnitee, except to the extent such loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense shall have been finally determined in a decision on the merits in any such action, suit, investigation or other proceeding to have been incurred or suffered by such indemnitee by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee’s office. The rights of indemnification provided under this Section 3.7 shall not be construed so as to provide for indemnification of a Manager for

any liability (including liability under federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on persons that act in good faith) to the extent (but only to the extent) that such indemnification would be in violation of applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the applicable provisions of this Section 3.7 to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(b)

Expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, so incurred by any such indemnitee (but excluding amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, or as fines or penalties), may be paid from time to time by the Fund in advance of the final disposition of any such action, suit, investigation or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such indemnitee to repay to the Fund amounts so paid if it shall ultimately be determined that indemnification of such expenses is not authorized under Section 3.7(a) hereof; provided, however, that (i) such indemnitee shall provide security for such undertaking, (ii) the Fund shall be insured by or on behalf of such indemnitee against losses arising by reason of such indemnitee’s failure to fulfill such undertaking, or (iii) a majority of the Managers (excluding any Manager who is either seeking advancement of expenses hereunder or is or has been a party to any other action, suit, investigation or proceeding involving claims similar to those involved in the action, suit, investigation or proceeding giving rise to a claim for advancement of expenses hereunder) or independent legal counsel in a written opinion shall determine based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) that there is reason to believe such indemnitee ultimately will be entitled to indemnification.

(c)

As to the disposition of any action, suit, investigation or proceeding (whether by a compromise payment, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise) without an adjudication or a decision on the merits by a court or any other body before which the proceeding shall have been brought that an indemnitee is liable to the Fund or its Members by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee’s office, indemnification shall be provided pursuant to Section 3.7(a) hereof if (i) approved as in the best interests of the Fund by a majority of the Managers (excluding any Manager who is either seeking indemnification hereunder or is or has been a party to any other action, suit, investigation or proceeding involving claims similar to those involved in the action, suit, investigation or proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder) upon a determination based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) that such indemnitee acted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that such actions were in the best interests of the Fund and that such indemnitee is not liable to the Fund or its Members by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee’s office, or (ii) the Board of Managers secures a written opinion of independent legal counsel based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) to the effect that such indemnification would not protect such indemnitee against any liability to the Fund or its Members to which such indemnitee would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee’s office.

(d)

Any indemnification or advancement of expenses made pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall not prevent the recovery from any indemnitee of any such amount if such indemnitee subsequently shall be determined in a decision on the merits in any action, suit, investigation or proceeding involving the liability or expense that gave rise to such indemnification or advancement of expenses to be liable to the Fund or its Members by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such indemnitee’s office. In (i) any suit brought by a Manager (or other person entitled to indemnification hereunder) to enforce a right to indemnification under this Section 3.7 it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit in the name of the Fund to recover any indemnification or advancement of expenses made pursuant to this Section 3.7 the Fund shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the Manager or other person claiming a right to indemnification under this Section 3.7 has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 3.7. In any such suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover any indemnification or advancement of expenses made pursuant to this Section 3.7, the burden of proving that the Manager or other person claiming a right to

indemnification is not entitled to be indemnified, or to any indemnification or advancement of expenses, under this Section 3.7 shall be on the Fund (or any Member acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the Fund or its Members).

(e)

An indemnitee may not satisfy any right of indemnification or advancement of expenses granted in this Section 3.7 or to which such indemnitee may otherwise be entitled except out of the assets of the Fund, and no Member shall be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses.

(f)

The rights of indemnification provided hereunder shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any person may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law. Nothing contained in this Section 3.7 shall affect the power of the Fund to purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of any Manager or other person.

Section 3.8 Fees, Expenses and Reimbursement

(a)

Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Manager shall be entitled to receive the Management Fee. The Management Fee will be accrued monthly and paid quarterly.

(b)

The Board of Managers may cause the Fund to compensate each Manager who is not an officer or employee of the Investment Manager (or of any Affiliate of the Investment Manager) for his or her services as such, and such Manager shall be reimbursed by the Fund for reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in performing his duties under this Agreement.

(c)

The Fund shall bear all expenses incurred in its business and operations, other than those specifically required to be borne by the Investment Manager pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement. Expenses to be borne by the Fund include, but are not limited to, the following:

(4) attorneys’ fees and disbursements associated with the preparation, review and updating of the Form N-2, the Prospectus and other offering related documents (the “Offering Materials”);

(5) the costs of printing the Offering Materials;

(6) the costs of distributing the Offering Materials to prospective investors;

(7) the costs and expenses of holding meetings of the Board and any meetings of Members, including legal costs associated with the preparation and filing of proxy materials;

(9) the Management Fee and all other fees payable to various service providers pursuant to the Fund’s Administration Agreement and Custodian Services Agreement;

(10) the costs of a fidelity bond and any liability insurance obtained on behalf of the Fund or the Board;

(13) all charges for equipment or services used in communicating information regarding the Fund’s transactions among the Investment Manager and any custodian or other agent engaged by the Fund; and

(14) such other types of expenses as may be approved from time to time by the Board of Managers.

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

(d)

Subject to procuring any required regulatory approvals, from time to time the Fund may, alone or in conjunction with other registered or unregistered investment funds or other accounts for which the Investment Manager, or any Affiliate of the Investment Manager, acts as general partner or investment adviser, purchase insurance in such amounts, from such insurers and on such terms as the Board of Managers shall determine.

ARTICLE IV

TERMINATION OF STATUS OF THE MANAGERS,

TRANSFERS AND REPURCHASES

Section 4.1 Termination of Status of a Manager

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

Section 4.2 Removal of the Managers

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

Section 4.3 Transfer of Interests of Members

(a)

An Interest of a Member may be Transferred only (i) by operation of law pursuant to the death, divorce, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or incompetency of such Member or (ii) with the written consent of the Board of Managers (which may be withheld in its sole discretion); provided, however, that the Board of Managers may not consent to any Transfer other than a Transfer (i) in which the tax basis of the Interest in the hands of the transferee is determined, in whole or in part, by reference to its tax basis in the hands of the transferor (e.g., certain Transfers to affiliates, gifts and contributions to family partnerships), (ii) to members of the Member’s immediate family (brothers, sisters, spouse, parents and children), (iii) as a distribution from a qualified retirement plan or an individual retirement account, or (iv) a Transfer to which the Board of Managers may consent pursuant to the following sentence. The Board of Managers may consent to other pledges, transfers, or assignments under such other circumstances and conditions as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate; provided, however, that prior to any such

pledge, transfer, or assignment, the Board of Managers shall consult with counsel to the Fund to ensure that such pledge, transfer, or assignment will not cause the Fund to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation. In no event, however, will any transferee or assignee be admitted as a Member without the consent of the Board of Managers which may be withheld in its sole discretion. Any pledge, transfer, or assignment not made in accordance with this Section 4.3 shall be void.

(b)

The Board of Managers may not consent to a Transfer of an Interest or a portion thereof of a Member unless; (i) the person to whom the Interest is Transferred (or each of the person’s beneficial owners if such a person is a “private investment company” as defined in paragraph (d)(3) of Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act) is a person whom the Board of Managers believes meets the requirements of paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act or any successor rule thereto; and (ii) the entire Interest of the Member is Transferred to a single transferee or, after the Transfer of a portion of an Interest, the balance of the Capital Account of each of the transferee and transferor is not less than $100,000. Such minimum Capital Account balance may be reduced or waived by the Board of Managers or the Manager. Any transferee that acquires an Interest by operation of law as the result of the death, divorce, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or incompetency of a Member or otherwise, shall be entitled to the allocations and distributions allocable to the Interest so acquired and to Transfer such Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but shall not be entitled to the other rights of a Member unless and until such transferee becomes a substituted Member. If a Member transfers an Interest with the approval of the Board of Managers, the Board of Managers shall promptly take all necessary actions so that the transferee to whom such Interest is transferred is admitted to the Fund as a Member. Each Member effecting a Transfer and its transferee agree to pay all expenses, including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, incurred by the Fund in connection with such Transfer.

(c)

Each Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, the Managers, the Investment Manager, each other Member and any Affiliate of the foregoing against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including legal or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses or any judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement), joint or several, to which such persons may become subject by reason of or arising from (i) any Transfer made by such Member in violation of this Section 4.3 and (ii) any misrepresentation by such Member in connection with any such Transfer.

Section 4.4 Repurchase of Interests

(a)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(b)

A Member who tenders for repurchase only a portion of the Member’s Interest will be required to maintain a capital account balance equal to at least $100,000. Such minimum Capital Account balance may be reduced or waived by the Board of Managers or the Manager. If a Member tenders an amount that would cause the Member’s capital account balance to fall below the required minimum, the Fund reserves the right to reduce the amount to be purchased from the Member so that the required minimum balance is maintained.

(c)

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

(1) such an Interest or portion thereof has been transferred in violation of Section 4.3 hereof, or such an Interest or portion thereof has vested in any person by operation of law as the result of the death, divorce, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or incompetency of a Member;

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

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

(4) such Member’s continued participation in the Fund may cause the Fund to be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder;

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

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

(d)

Repurchases of Interests or portions thereof by the Fund shall be payable promptly after the date of each such repurchase or, in the case of an offer by the Fund to repurchase Interests, promptly after the expiration date of such repurchase offer in accordance with the terms of such offer. Payment of the purchase price for an Interest (or portion thereof) shall consist of: (i) cash in an amount equal to such percentage, as may be determined by the Board of Managers, of the estimated unaudited net asset value of the Interest (or portion thereof) repurchased by the Fund determined as of the date of such repurchase to be paid within the applicable time period set forth in the Prospectus (the “Initial Payment”), and, if the Initial Payment is less than 100% of the estimated unaudited net asset value, (ii) cash in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the net asset value of the Interest (or portion thereof) repurchased by the Fund as of the date of such repurchase, determined based on the audited financial statements of the Fund for the Fiscal Year in which such repurchase was effective, over (y) the Initial Payment, to be paid promptly after the completion of the Fund’s audit for such Fiscal Year.

(d)

Each Member’s Capital Account shall be reduced by the sum of (i) the amount of any repurchase of the Interest, or portion thereof, of such Member or distributions to such Member pursuant to Sections 4.4, 5.10 or 6.2 hereof which are not reinvested (net of any liabilities secured by any asset distributed that such Member is deemed to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), plus (ii) any amounts debited against such Capital Account pursuant to Sections 5.4 through 5.6 hereof.

Section 5.4 Allocation of Net Profit and Net Loss

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

Section 5.5 Allocation of Certain Income and Expenditures

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

Section 5.6 Reserves

(a)

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

(b)

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

(c)

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

Section 5.7 Tax Allocations

For each Fiscal Year, items of income, deduction, gain, loss or credit shall be allocated for income tax purposes among the Members in such manner as to reflect equitably amounts credited or debited to each Member’s Capital Account for the current and prior fiscal years (or relevant portions thereof). Allocations under

this Section 5.7 shall be made pursuant to the principles of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code, and in conformity with Regulations Sections l.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g), l.704-1(b)(4)(i) and 1.704-3(e) promulgated thereunder, as applicable, or the successor provisions to such Section and Regulations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, there shall be allocated to the Members such gains or income as shall be necessary to satisfy the “qualified income offset” requirement of Treasury Regulations l.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

If the Fund realizes capital gains (including short-term capital gains) for Federal income tax purposes (“gains”) for any Fiscal Year during or as of the end of which the Interests of one or more Positive Basis Members (as hereinafter defined) are repurchased by the Fund pursuant to Article IV, the Board of Managers, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Managers, in its sole discretion, shall allocate such gains as follows: (i) to allocate such gains among such Positive Basis Members, pro rata in proportion to the respective Positive Basis (as hereinafter defined) of each such Positive Basis Member, until either the full amount of such gains shall have been so allocated or the Positive Basis of each such Positive Basis Member shall have been eliminated and (ii) to allocate any gains not so allocated to Positive Basis Members to the other Members in such manner as shall equitably reflect the amounts allocated to such Members’ Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 5.4.

If the Fund realizes capital losses (including long-term capital losses) for Federal income tax purposes (“losses”) for any Fiscal Year during or as of the end of which the Interests of one or more Negative Basis Members (as hereinafter defined) are repurchased by the Fund pursuant to Article IV, the Board of Managers, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Managers, in its sole discretion, shall allocate such losses as follows: (i) to allocate such losses among such Negative Basis Members, pro rata in proportion to the respective Negative Basis (as hereinafter defined) of each such Negative Basis Member, until either the full amount of such losses shall have been so allocated or the Negative Basis of each such Negative Basis Member shall have been eliminated and (ii) to allocate any losses not so allocated to Negative Basis Members to the other Members in such manner as shall equitably reflect the amounts allocated to such Members’ Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 5.4.

As used herein, (i) the term “Positive Basis” shall mean, with respect to any Member and as of any time of calculation, the amount by which its Interest as of such time exceeds its “adjusted tax basis,” for Federal income tax purposes, in its Interest as of such time (determined without regard to any adjustments made to such “adjusted tax basis” by reason of any transfer or assignment of such Interest, including by reason of death, and without regard to such Member’s share of the liabilities of the Fund under Section 752 of the Code) and (ii) the term “Positive Basis Member” shall mean any Member whose Interest is repurchased by the Fund and who has Positive Basis as of the effective date of the repurchase, but such Member shall cease to be a Positive Basis Member at such time as it shall have received allocations pursuant to clause (i) of the second paragraph of this Section 5.7 equal to its Positive Basis as of the effective date of such repurchase.

As used herein, (i) the term “Negative Basis” shall mean, with respect to any Member and as of any time of calculation, the amount by which its Interest as of such time is less than its “adjusted tax basis,” for Federal income tax purposes, in its Interest as of such time (determined without regard to any adjustments made to such “adjusted tax basis” by reason of any transfer or assignment of such Interest, including by reason of death, and without regard to such Member’s share of the liabilities of the Fund under Section 752 of the Code), and (ii) the term “Negative Basis Member” shall mean any Member whose Interest is repurchased by the Fund and who has Negative Basis as of the effective date of such repurchase, but such Member shall cease to be a Negative Basis Member at such time as it shall have received allocations pursuant to clause (i) of the third paragraph of this Section 5.7 equal to its Negative Basis as of the effective date of such repurchase.

The Fund’s taxable year shall end on December 31 unless otherwise determined by the Fund’s Treasurer.

Section 5.8 Taxation as a Partnership

The Members hereby agree that the Fund shall be treated as a partnership for Federal, state and local income tax purposes and to not take any position or action that would cause the Fund to be classified as an association

taxable as a corporation for Federal, state and local income tax purposes. The Board of Managers therefore agrees that it: (a) will not cause or permit the Fund to elect, without the unanimous consent of the Members, to be treated as a corporation for Federal, state and local income tax purposes; and (b) will cause the Company to make any election reasonably determined to be necessary or appropriate in order to ensure the treatment of the Company as a partnership for Federal, state and local income tax purposes.

Section 5.9 Distributions

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

Section 5.10 Withholding

(a)

The Board of Managers may withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service (or any other relevant taxing authority) taxes from any distribution to any Member to the extent required by the Code or any other applicable law.

(b)

For purposes of this Agreement, any taxes so withheld by the Fund with respect to any amount distributed by the Fund to any Member shall be deemed to be a distribution or payment to such Member, reducing the amount otherwise distributable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement and reducing the Capital Account of such Member. If the amount of such taxes is greater than any such distributable amounts, then such Member and any successor to such Member’s Interest shall pay to the Fund as a contribution to the capital of the Fund, upon demand of the Board of Managers, the amount of such excess.

(c)

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