Re:          Appointment of _______________ as “Placement Agent” for the Fund’s Shares

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The following Agreement sets out the terms under which Hastings Capital Group, LLC, acting as the principal underwriter (the “Principal Underwriter”) to SkyBridge Multi-Adviser Hedge Fund Portfolios LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Fund”), desires to provide for the sale of the Fund’s Shares (as defined below).  Each of the Principal Underwriter and the Placement Agent acknowledge that the Fund and the Adviser shall be third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement and shall receive the benefits contemplated hereby.

1. Fund Offering.

The Fund issues and sells its shares of beneficial interest in the Fund (“Shares”), which may be designated in Series, pursuant to the Fund’s registration statement as amended or supplemented from time to time, including (to the extent such Parts are separately identified) Part A (the prospectus), Part B (the statement of additional information) and Part C, as filed on Form N-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” and the “Registration Statement”, respectively), and has appointed and/or expects to appoint several agents as placement agents in connection with the sale of Shares. The Principal Underwriter, acting on an agency basis, serves as the Fund’s designated principal underwriter for purposes of Section 2(a)(29) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, is the sole party authorized to purchase Shares from the Fund and sell the Shares to others.  It is specifically the intent of this Agreement that the Placement Agent should not be deemed a principal underwriter for these purposes.  The Principal Underwriter has been authorized by the Fund to retain several placement agents to assist in the identification of suitable investors to purchase Shares from the Principal Underwriter.  The Principal Underwriter has also been authorized to establish and implement the primary plan of distribution for the Shares and to generally fulfill the functions of an underwriter with respect thereto.  The Fund’s sole duly appointed investment adviser is SkyBridge Capital II, LLC (the “Adviser”).

2. Definitions.

All capitalized terms used in this agreement (“Agreement”) that are not separately defined herein shall have the respective meaning set forth in the Registration Statement.  For purposes of this Agreement, although materiality shall be defined by reference to applicable law, the parties acknowledge that market movements are inherent in investment activities and therefore generally will not be deemed material factors requiring supplements, updates or amendments to the Registration Statement or other Approved Offering Material (as defined below).

3. Placement of Shares.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Principal Underwriter hereby appoints the Placement Agent as a non-exclusive placement agent in connection with the placement of Shares.  The Placement Agent hereby accepts such agency and agrees on the terms and conditions herein set forth to use reasonable efforts during the term hereof to find qualified subscribers for Shares (“Placement Agent Customers”) and to assist in obtaining payment for Shares from Placement Agent Customers.

(b) The offers and sales of Shares are to be effected pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).  The following procedures apply in connection with the offer and sale of Shares and no party hereto will make offers or sales under this Agreement of any Shares except in compliance with such procedures:

(i) Offers of Shares will be made only to investors that the Placement Agent reasonably believes qualify as “Eligible Investors” meeting the eligibility standards set forth in the Registration Statement.

(ii) No sale of Shares to any single investor will be for less than the minimum denominations as specified in the Registration Statement, unless such requirement is waived in advance by the Adviser in its sole discretion.

(iii) No offer or sale of any Shares shall be made in any state or jurisdiction, or to any prospective investor located in any state or jurisdiction, where such Shares have not been registered or qualified for offer and sale under applicable state securities laws (unless such Shares are exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of such laws.

(iv) No transfers of Shares will be effected other than subject to the substantial restrictions thereon set forth in the Registration Statement.

(c) For purposes of the offering of Shares, the Principal Underwriter has furnished (or has caused the Fund to furnish) to the Placement Agent the Registration Statement and subscription documentation to be furnished to prospective investors and any sticker amendments and supplements thereto.  The Placement Agent is authorized to furnish to prospective investors only such information concerning the Fund and the offering as may be contained in the Registration Statement or any written supplements thereto, or any sales material, advertising or alternative subscription documentation approved in writing by the Principal Underwriter for use in connection with the offering or sale of Shares (all such materials, together with the Registration Statement, being referred to herein as the “Approved Offering Material”).  Modifications of such Approved Offering Material generally will not be approved as contemplated by the previous sentence except in the case of modifications solely for the purpose of reflecting formatting or cosmetic changes or including appropriate references to the Placement Agent by name, address, insignia or similarly factual identifying characteristics).

4. Subscription Procedures.

(a) All subscriptions for Shares and payments by subscribers of subscription amounts for Shares shall be made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Registration Statement and the subscription documentation.  Subscriptions for Shares from Placement Agent Customers shall be subject to processing as described in Section 5 below.

(b) All payments received by the Placement Agent hereunder for subscriptions for Shares shall be handled by the Placement Agent in accordance with the terms of the subscription documentation.

5. Processing of Subscriptions and Operational Procedures.

(a) The Placement Agent shall review each subscription document from any Placement Agent Customer to confirm that it has been completed in accordance with the instructions thereto and that each has been completed by or on behalf of an “Eligible Investor” and shall promptly forward completed subscription documents, and any other information required to determine a prospective investor’s eligibility, to the Principal Underwriter in care of BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) as the Fund’s administrator (or any successor entity designated to serve in that capacity), which shall promptly communicate (generally within five business days) the acceptance or rejection of such documents to the Placement Agent. Prior to forwarding a Subscription Agreement, the Placement Agent will ensure that the subscriber for Shares has a legitimate source of funds and that there is no reason to suspect such subscriber of money laundering activities.  Placement Agent will also ensure that the contemplated investment in the Fund by the Placement Agent Customer is suitable to that customer’s specific circumstances, and that in forwarding the Subscription Agreement the Placement Agent is compliant with the programs described in both Sections 10(h) and 10(l).  The Principal Underwriter and/or the Officers and/or the Directors of the Fund (respectively, the “Officers” and the “Directors”), acting on their own behalf or through their authorized agents, reserve the right to reject any subscription for Shares in the Fund for any reason.  The Placement Agent has no authority to accept subscriptions for Shares.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Placement Agent shall be solely responsible for matters relating to the qualification as an “Eligible Investor” of any Placement Agent Customer, for evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Fund for any Placement Agent Customer and for satisfaction of anti-money-laundering obligations relating to any Placement Agent Customer, each as contemplated by the preceding sentences of this Section 5(a).

(b) The Principal Underwriter and the Placement Agent shall follow the operational procedures for the submission of subscriptions for Shares, payment therefor, the submission of repurchase requests and the payment of repurchase proceeds that are set forth in the Registration Statement and any applicable documents relating to subscriptions or Tender Offers (as defined below).  In this regard, the Fund or its designated agents will be responsible for, among other things, accurate primary record keeping, capital accounting, tax reporting, tax withholding and monthly reconciliation of accounts and net asset values with the Placement Agent.  The Fund, either directly or through the Principal Underwriter, also will be responsible for, among other things, all reporting to regulators and to Shareholders, which shall include, among other things, a monthly calculation of net asset value, quarterly unaudited reports to Shareholders and audited annual reports to Shareholders.  The monthly calculation of net asset value shall be calculated as set forth in the Registration Statement, and shall be transmitted to the Placement Agent for purposes of allowing the Placement Agent to confirm to Shareholders that are Placement Agent Customers the offering price or repurchase price, as the case may be, for Shares promptly following 30 calendar days after:  (i) each calendar month end (or any other day on which purchases of Shares are effected) or (ii) the repurchase date, as applicable.  The Fund also shall retain an escrow agent as necessary.

(c) The Placement Agent shall reasonably coordinate with the Principal Underwriter and BNY as the Fund’s administrator (or any successor entity designated to serve in that capacity) with regard to the Fund’s periodic offers to repurchase its Shares as described in the Registration Statement (each a “Tender Offer”).  Such coordination may include assisting the Principal Underwriter, the Fund or such administrator with contacting Placement Agent Customers to advise them of the terms of an such Tender Offer and assisting Placement Agent Customers with contacting the Fund or such administrator regarding participation in a Tender Offer.

(d) The Placement Agent shall ensure that appropriate custody accounts are opened and maintained for the receipt of monies from Placement Agent Customers intended for pending investments in the Fund and for the receipt of proceeds from Tender Offers pending their proper distribution to Placement Agent Customers participating in such Tender Offers.

(e) The Fund may suspend or terminate the offering of any Series of Shares at any time as to specific classes of investors, as to specific jurisdictions or otherwise.  Upon notice to the Placement Agent of the terms of such suspension or termination, the Placement Agent shall suspend solicitation of subscriptions for Shares in accordance with such terms until the Principal Underwriter notifies the Placement Agent that such solicitation may be resumed.

(c) The Principal Underwriter will pay Placement Agent by wire payment according to the wire instructions  provided by Placement Agent.

(e) The Placement Agent agrees that either the Placement Fee, the Trail Fee or both may be reduced or otherwise modified if and as required to comply with applicable law, including the NASD/FINRA rules and regulations applicable to sales compensation.

12. Indemnification and Contribution.

The parties agree to indemnify each other as follows:

(a) The Principal Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent and each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation) to which the Placement Agent or they may become subject in any jurisdiction, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expense (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any act or omission of the indemnifying party including, but not limited to, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the subscription documentation or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that such indemnifying party will not be liable in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to any of the Principal Underwriter, the Fund or the Adviser by the Placement Agent or through the Placement Agent expressly for the use therein; and further provided that this indemnity shall not protect the Placement Agent or any other person who may otherwise be entitled to indemnity hereunder from or against any liability to which the Placement Agent or they would be subject by reason of the Placement Agent’s own or their own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the Placement Agent’s or their duties hereunder.

(b) The Placement Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Principal Underwriter, the Fund and the Adviser and each person who controls the Principal Underwriter, the Fund or the Adviser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation) to which such person may become subject in any jurisdiction, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any breach by the Placement Agent of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant under this Agreement or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Principal Underwriter, the Fund or the Adviser by the Placement Agent or on the Placement Agent’s behalf through the Placement Agent expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the Placement Agent will not be liable in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the Principal Underwriter, the Fund or the Adviser or any other person who may otherwise be entitled to indemnity hereunder from or against any liability to which the Principal Underwriter, the Fund or the Adviser would be subject by reason of their own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of their duties hereunder.  This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the Placement Agent may otherwise have incurred under this Agreement.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any other liability which it may have under this Section 12 (except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure) or from any liability which it may have otherwise).  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if, in the judgment of such indemnified party, a conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for such indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, in which event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party or parties.  After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and the approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsections for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the provision to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party or parties shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel representing the indemnified parties under subparagraph (a) of this Section 12 who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party or parties shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party or parties have authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii).  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(d) In no event will any party be liable to any other party or any third party for any consequential, incidental, special or indirect damages (including but not limited to lost profits), even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such losses.

(e) The Principal Underwriter confirms that the Fund has agreed in writing with the Principal Underwriter that, to the extent that indemnification claims made against the Principal Underwriter under this Section 12 would result in corresponding indemnification obligations owed to the Principal Underwriter by the Fund under any agreement between them, it is the intent of the Fund and the Principal Underwriter that the Placement Agent should be a third-party beneficiary of those corresponding indemnification obligations.  The Principal Underwriter further confirms that the Adviser has agreed in writing with the Principal Underwriter that, to the extent that indemnification claims made against the Principal Underwriter under this Section 12 would result in corresponding indemnification obligations owed to the Principal Underwriter by the Adviser under any agreement between them, it is the intent of the Fund and the Adviser that the Placement Agent should be a third-party beneficiary of those corresponding indemnification obligations.  These obligations of the Principal Underwriter, the Fund and the Adviser are separate and are not joint.

13. Survival of Certain Provisions.

The provisions of this Section 13 and of Sections 11, 12 and 16 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

14. Effective Date and Term of Agreement.

This Agreement shall become effective for all purposes as of the date hereof and shall remain in effect for an initial term of two years from such date.

15. Termination.

This Agreement may be terminated as follows:

(a) Any party may terminate this Agreement without cause by written notice to the other parties on not less than sixty (60) days notice, or, if there has been a material breach of any condition, warranty, representation or other term of this Agreement by the other party, by written notice to such party at any time, if, after having given written notice of the material breach to the other party, which notice sets forth in reasonable detail the nature of the breach, the other party fails to correct the material breach or otherwise come into full compliance with the terms of this Agreement within 10 business days of notice of the material breach.

16. Confidentiality.

(a) Each party shall keep confidential any non-public information in respect of the Members and any confidential information relating to the business of each other party.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Principal Underwriter and its employees, agents, officers and directors (collectively, the “Recipients”) shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence, and not use for the benefit of itself, themselves or others, information pertaining to the identity of, and other non-public personal information with respect to, the Placement Agent Customers which have subscribed for Shares.  Without limiting the generality of the preceding undertaking, a Recipient shall not directly solicit any person it knows to be a Placement Agent Customer as a result of the Placement Agent’s actions hereunder, with respect to either the purchase of an interest in any investment vehicle or entity sponsored or offered by a Recipient.  Participation by a Recipient in a meeting with a Placement Agent Customer at the request of an employee of the Placement Agent or an affiliate shall not be deemed a violation of the foregoing undertaking.  The Principal Underwriter’s agreement with each of the Fund and the Adviser shall provide that those parties shall extend the same protections in respect of the Placement Agent Customers.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subparagraph (a) of this Section 15, the Placement Agent agrees that the Principal Underwriter, the Fund and/or the Adviser may disclose the name (or other identifying or descriptive information contained in Fund subscription documentation, any collateral documentation thereto or otherwise) regarding any current or former Placement Agent Customer to any regulator having jurisdiction over the disclosing party, at all times solely to the extent reasonably necessary to respond to a request for information from (or filing requirement imposed by) such regulator.  The Placement Agent further agrees to cooperate promptly with the Principal Underwriter, the Fund and/or the Adviser in connection with any such regulatory request or requirement, and the Principal Underwriter, the Fund and the Adviser further agree to use any such information obtained regarding a Placement Agent Customer solely in connection with such regulatory request or requirement.

17. Services Not Exclusive.

The services to be rendered by the Placement Agent hereunder shall be provided on a non-exclusive basis.  The Placement Agent shall be free throughout the term of this Agreement and after the termination hereof to provide the same or different marketing services to other funds on the same or on different terms and conditions.  Nothing herein shall restrict the Placement Agent or its affiliates from creating or marketing any other product or investment vehicle.
