Description of Advisory Services
The Adviser serves as investment adviser to its Clients pursuant to the Advisory Agreements. The
Adviser performs the following services, among others, for its Clients:
1. Identifies and analyzes investment opportunities;
2. Makes investment recommendations to the General Partner of each Client, as applicable;
3. Participates in the monitoring and evaluation of Investments; and
4. Provides other related services in connection with the implementation of the investment
program of each Client, including, without limitation, arranging for and coordinating the
services of other professionals and consultants.
The Adviser tailors its advisory services to the particular needs of each Client. However, the
specific needs of the individual Investors in a Client (i.e., limited partner investors) are not the
basis for recommendations by the Adviser. Investment advice is provided directly to the Client,
not individually to the respective Investors in the Client.
