WHEREAS, the Fund is authorized to offer and sell limited liability company interests which represent an investment in the Fund (the “Interests”) in reliance on exemptions provided in the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and state securities laws for transactions not involving any public offering; and

WHEREAS, the Fund and the Administrator desire to enter into an agreement pursuant to which the Administrator shall provide certain administration, fund accounting and recordkeeping services to the Fund.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

(b)  Hatteras Capital Investment Management, LLC (the “Manager”), the investment manager of the Fund, shall use reasonable efforts to cause the investment adviser(s) and sub-advisers, including any third-party managers (each a “Portfolio Manager”), prime broker and/or custodian, legal counsel, independent accountants and other service providers and agents, past or present, for the Fund to cooperate with the Administrator and to provide the Administrator with such information, documents and advice relating to the Fund as necessary and/or appropriate or as requested by the Administrator, in order to enable the Administrator to perform its duties hereunder.  In connection with its duties hereunder, the Administrator shall (without investigation or verification) be entitled and is hereby instructed to, rely upon any and all oral or written instructions, advice, information or documents provided to the Administrator by an officer or representative of the Manager or the Fund or by any of the aforementioned persons.  The Administrator shall be entitled to rely on any document that it reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party.  Fees charged by such persons shall not be an expense of the Administrator. The Administrator shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any officer, agent, representative or employee of the Manager, the Fund, Portfolio Managers or service provider until receipt of written notice thereof from the Fund.
 
(c)  At any time, the Administrator may request instructions from the Fund with respect to any matter arising in connection with this Agreement.  If such instructions are not received within a reasonable time, the Administrator may seek advice from legal counsel for the Fund at the expense of the Fund, or its own legal counsel at its own expense, and it shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with such instructions or in accordance with advice of counsel.
 
(d)  The Administrator hereby agrees that all records which it maintains for the Fund pursuant to its duties hereunder are the property of the Fund and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Fund any of such records upon the Manager’s request.
 
(e)  It is understood that in determining security valuations, as appropriate, the Administrator employs one or more pricing services to determine valuations of portfolio securities for purposes of calculating net asset values of the Fund, as described in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated January 5, 2009, and any successor thereto (the “Offering Memorandum”). The Administrator shall price the securities and other holdings of the Fund for which market quotations or prices are available by the use of such services. For those securities where prices are not provided by the pricing service(s) utilized by the Administrator, the Fund shall approve, in good faith, the method for determining the fair value of the securities. At such times as are necessary and in accordance with such procedures, the Portfolio Managers shall determine or obtain the valuation of the securities (subject always to the review and supervision of the Board) and shall deliver to the Administrator the resulting prices for use in its calculation of net asset values; in particular, the Administrator shall price investments in Portfolio Funds based on the valuations provided to it by the Portfolio Managers.  In addition, the Manager shall determine or obtain the valuation of the Direct Investments (subject always to the review and supervision of the Fund’s Board) and shall deliver to the Administrator the resulting prices for use in its calculation of net asset values. The Administrator is authorized to rely on the prices provided by the Portfolio Managers, the Manager or other authorized representatives of the Fund without investigation or verification.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator will be responsible for its own compliance with such statutes insofar as such statutes are applicable to the services it has agreed to provide hereunder, and will promptly notify the Fund if it becomes aware of any non-compliance which relates to the Fund. The Administrator shall provide the Fund with quarterly and annual certifications (on a calendar basis) with respect to the design and operational effectiveness of its compliance and procedures.

(g)  The Fund hereby certifies that it has undertaken (or will undertake in a timely manner) all filings and other actions necessary to permit the Fund to lawfully offer and sell Interests in the Fund without registration under the Securities Act and the applicable securities laws of each state and territory in which the Fund intends to offer and sell Interests.
