Side Letters
As a general matter, the Firm owes certain fiduciary duties to each Fund, which requires that the Firm act
in good faith and in what the Firm considers to be the best interests of the Fund. In doing so, the Firm also
will endeavor to act in a manner that ensures the fair treatment of the respective Fund’s investors. The Firm
may, without the approval of any investor, from time to time enter into agreements with certain investors
that provide for terms that are different from those described in the pertinent offering document (“side
letters”). Such side letters or other similar agreements may not impose any additional obligations or
liabilities on any other investor not party to such agreement. In exercising discretion in causing a Fund to
enter into a side letter, the Firm will disclose any material terms of such side letter that may disadvantage
other investors. Otherwise, absent an agreement to the contrary, the Firm (or its affiliates) may from time
to time enter into side letter or similar agreements with certain investors that may provide for terms of
investment that are more favorable than the terms described in the respective Fund’s governing documents
without providing prior notice to, or receiving consent from, existing investors.
The types of investors who receive preferential treatment, or have the right to receive preferential treatment,
may include: cornerstone investors or investors of strategic importance to the Fund; investors complying
with specific legal, tax and/or regulatory requirements; affiliates of the Firm; and seed investors.
Rights or terms that a side letter may alter may include, but are not limited to: (1) rights or terms necessary
in light of particular legal, regulatory or public policy characteristics of an investor; (2) preferential fee
terms; (3) preferential terms relating to liquidity and/or transfer; (4) enhanced transparency and reporting;
and (5) “most favored nation” rights. Such side letters or similar agreements will not, however, combine
preferential information rights with preferential redemption rights to the detriment of other investors.
