Foreign exchange spot and forward contracts and options, off-exchange option contracts, interest rate and credit default swaps, and swaptions are valued in good faith by the General Partner based on pricing models developed by the General Partner or broker quotations. Commodity forward contracts and commodity and equity swaps are valued based on the settlement prices of the underlying instruments (in accordance with the policies described above). In the absence of a settlement price, valuations are determined using broker quotations. Equity securities traded on exchanges or included in the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at their last sale prices reported on the day as of which Net Assets are determined, or, if a security did not trade on such day, the last sale price on the next preceding day on which a sale price was reported. Over-the-counter securities for which last sale prices are not reported through the NASDAQ Stock Market generally arc valued at their last sale prices reported on the day as of which Net Assets are determined unless such securities, in the opinion of the General Partner, are illiquid, in which case such securities are valued at their last reported bid prices if held long and their last reported asked prices if sold short. Options on equity securities traded on exchanges are valued at their last reported mid-price on the day as of which Net Assets are determined. Over-the-counter options that are not traded on an exchange are valued in good faith by the General Partner and the Service Provider based on pricing models developed by the General Partner that consider the time value of money, volatility, and the current market and contractual prices of the underlying financial instruments. Fixed income securities are valued using prices published by independent vendors, which in turn utilize prices supplied by brokers. HighlYiekt ind distressed debt is valued using broker quotations and independent pricing services, if available. Investments in other investment companies are valued at the net asset values reported by such investment companies. In the absence of quoted values or when quoted values am deemed by the General Partner not to be representative of market values for positions, such positions are recorded at fair value in accordance with guidelines approved by the General Partner in consultation with the Partnership's independent public accountants, and any unrealized appreciation or depreciation generally is included in such values. Securities that have transfer restrictions generally are valued at a discount, as determined by the General Partner• to reflect restricted marketability. Securities and other investments for which quoted values are not available generally are valued at cost unless circumstances indicate that a different valuation is warranted, as determined by the General Partner. Values generally are adjusted if, for example, the General Partner determines that a substantial arm's length transaction has occurred, the investee company is experiencing significant operating difficulties or the operating environment for such companies, individually or as a whole, has deteriorated. In addition to special valuation determinations relating to illiquid positions, other special situations affecting the valuation of portfolio positions may arise from time to time. Prospective investors should understand that any uncertainties as to the valuation of portfolio positions could have an impact on the calculation of Net Assets if judgments regarding appropriate valuations should prove to be incorrect. The General Partner, in consultation with the Service Provider and the Partnership's auditor, will update these policies as they deem reasonably necessary, taking into account, among other factors, the availability and accuracy of third party pricing sources, the development of additional pricing models, and the timing of material announcements or events concerning markets or instruments. 21 EFTA01118865 \►L.7ac\ Credit" is the product of (x) the debit balance in the Loss Recovery Account multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Incentive Allocation rate for the I ass Class, and the denominator of which is the Incentive Allocation rate for the Gain Class.

In addition, if for any of the reasons described above, the General Partner determines that a Partner should have no interest whatsoever in a particular Security, type of Security or transaction, the interests in such Security, type of Security or transaction may be set forth in a separate memorandum account in which only the Partners having an interest in such security, type of security or transaction shall have an interest and the gains and losses for each such memorandum account shall be separately calculated.

The value of any assets or liabilities of the Partnership shall be determined by the General Partner, in consultation with the Administrator, in good faith and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all of the Partners and all parties claiming through or under them. The Partnership's name and goodwill shall, as among the Limited Partners, be deemed to have no value and shall belong to the General Partner or any successor thereof, and no - 23 - EFTA01118876 Limited Partner shall have any right or claim individually to the use thereof. The assets shall be valued as follows: (i) securities (other than options) that are listed on a national securities exchange and are freely transferable shall be valued at their last sales price on the principal exchange on which such securities are listed, and options that are listed on a national securities exchange shall be valued at their last sales price on the principal exchange on which such options are traded; provided, however, that if the trading of any such securities is suspended at the date of determination, then the securities shall be valued at their last sales price on the first subsequent day on which trading is resumed on the principal exchange on which such securities are listed; (ii) securities (including options) traded over-the-counter that are freely transferable shall be valued, in the case of 'long' positions, at their last 'bid' price and, in the case of 'short" positions, at their last 'asked' price as reported by the NASD, Inc.

In special circumstances in which the General Partner, in consultation with the Administrator, determines that market prices or quotations do not fairly represent the value of particular securities or if no quotation exists, the General Partner, in consultation with the Administrator, is authorized to assign a value to such securities which differs from the market prices or quotations in its good faith discretion. Except as provided above, all other assets (including options not listed on any national securities exchange or traded over-the-counter) of the Partnership shall be valued in the manner determined by the General Partner.

Dividend income and dividend expense, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and interest expense are recognized on an accrual basis; however, with respect to the debt of issuers that are in default, interest is not accrued and is only recognized if and when received. Interest income and interest expense include the accretion and amortization of the market discount or premium on debt instruments. Any upfront payment made or received upon entering into a credit default swap contract is recorded as part of the cost or proceeds of such contract and is reflected as part of the unrealized gain or loss upon valuation thereof. Upon termination of the swap contract, the amount included in the cost or proceeds becomes part of the contract's realized gain or loss c.

If a last reported sales price is not available, the option is valued at the mean of the closing bid and closing ask prices. Other investments, including over-the-counter ("OTC") or privately negotiated instruments such as corporate bonds, bank debt, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, trade or similar claims ("trade claims"), credit default swaps, other OTC derivative contracts, and certain common and preferred stock positions, are valued at their estimated fair value as determined in good faith by the Investment Manager after consideration of various factors it deems appropriate, which may include one or more representative quotes (if available) from independent third-party sources. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. Resultant unrealized gains and losses are included in net change in unrealized gain or loss on investments. See note 4 for discussion of Fair Value Measurements and Disclosur d.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures 17 In accordance with FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Partnership discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level I measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820-10 arc as follows: Level I - Financial assets and liabilities whose values reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Partnership has the ability to access at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities reported in level I generally include, but are not limited to, active exchange-traded equity securities and certain government securities. Pursuant to FASB ASC 820-10, the Partnership is not permitted to adjust the quoted price for such instruments, even in situations where the Partnership holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price. Level 2 - Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based upon quoted prices in markets that are less active or inputs that are observable), tor indirectly as of the reporting date. Financial assets a;nd ities report0 in level 2 g nerall includoribut red limited to, commercial paper, ce corporaterbonds and loans, less 'qui eqvi es, certain mortgage-bseyekLec tiks.petatn collateralized debt ob, gat, serie est securities, certain exchange-traded derivative contracts, certain trade claims, and certain OTC derivative contracts (e.g., credit default swaps). Level 3 - Financial assets and liabilities whose valuations are based upon prices or inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Financial assets and liabilities reported in level 3 generally include, but are not limited to, private equity and real estate investments, certain mortgage-backed securities, certain collateralized debt obligations, certain corporate bonds and loans, certain trade claims, and certain OTC derivative contracts. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes "observable" requires significant judgment by the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager considers observable data to be market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. For level 3 instruments, the Investment Manager uses one or more valuation techniques (e.g., the market approach or the income approach) for which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within level 3, the market approach generally consists of using available market information, including comparable market transactions, while the income approach generally consists of determining the net present value of estimated future cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market, and/or other risk factors. The selection of appropriate valuation techniques may be affected by the availability of relevant inputs as well as the relative reliability of the inputs. in some cases, one valuation technique may provide the best indication of fair value whik in other circumstances, multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. The results of the application of the various techniques may not be equally representative of fair value, due to factors such as assumptions made in the valuation. In some situations, the Investment EFTA01118880 confidential King Street Capital, L.P. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2011 18 Manager may determine it appropriate to evaluate and weigh the results to develop a range of possible values, with the fair value based upon the Investment Manager's assessment of the most representative point within such range. The inputs and valuation techniques used by the Investment Manager in estimating the value of level 2 and level 3 instruments include dealer quotations, pricing services, third-party valuation firms, counterparty prices, recent transactions in identical or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt capital markets, changes in financial ratios or cash flows, and the original transaction price. While the valuation of the level 3 instruments may utilize some level I and/or level 2 inputs, it also includes other unobservable inputs which arc considered significant to the fair value determination. In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs ("ASU 2011-04"). ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principles related to measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurenints.

C. Additions to Notional Portfolio and Notional Leveragt Amount: If the Notional Portfolio Amount is equal to or less than the Relcveraging Notional Exposure, then (i) the Notional Portfolio shall be increased pro rata by a numb« of Units corresponding to the amount ("Releveraglog Amount') by which the Notional Portfolio Amount would have to be increased to be approximately equal to the Target Notional Exposure and (b) the Notional Leverage Amount shall be increased by the Releveraging Amount; provided that (i) the Notional Portfolio Amount shall not exceed the Maximum Notional Portfolio Amount and (ii) any increase in the Notional Portfolio shall be subject to Citigroup's ability to hedge its exposure related to the increase.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Settlement Amount for any Valuation Date is zero, no payment shall be made to Countmparty with respect to such Valuation Date.

UNDERSTOOD AND ACKNOWLEDGED WEXNER CHILDREN's TRUST II WA/D 02-25-199$ By: Financial Trust Company. Inc., Trustee By: Jeffrey C•. Epstein , President Date: 23 EFTA01118905 ANNEX E RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT This Risk Disclosure Statement sets forth certain material risks associated with the derivative transaction (the "Transactfoal entered into between , Wexner Children's Trust II U/AID 02-25-1998 (the "'Counterpart/1 and Citigroup Financial Products Inc. (CFPI) (together with its affiliates, "CRIgromf) on November 22,2006 . the terms of which are evidenced by ■ letter agreement dated November 22. 2006. (the "Confirmation"). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings given to them in the Confirmation. Counterparty acknowledges that the Transaction gives rise to, among others, the following risks: 1. No Guarantee of Profit. The Transaction entails a high degree of financial risk that could result in loss of the full amount of Counterpart/5 initial payment. There is no guarantee that Counterparty will profit from the Transaction. 2. Reliance on Fund and Fund Manager. The Transaction is a derivative contract that provides for payments determined by reference to the value of each Fund. The performance of such Fund will be dependent on investment management services to be provided by each Fund Manager and its personnel. Citigroup will not provide any investment management services under the Transaction and will not be responsible for the performance of such Fund. The investment program of such Fund involves significant risk factors and is suitable only for investors who can bear the economic loss of their investment and who have limited need for liquidity in their investment. Before entering into the Transaction, Counterparty should carefully review the offering documents for such Fund (including disclosures concerning the risks of investing in such Fund) and the organizational documents of such Fund and any related master fluid referred to therein, as well as any additional information that Counterparty or Counterpart/5 professional advisors deem material with respect to an investment in such Fund. The Fund Investment Guidelines are solely for the protection of Citigroup and will not be communicated to or binding upon such Fund or such Fund Manager. 3. The Transaction is not a Loan. Counterparty will have a leveraged exposure to the Units under the Transaction. The amount of leverage provided may increase or decrease during the Transaction based on changes in the value of the Units. Counterparty could have obtained a similar leveraged exposure to the Units by borrowing a portion of the purchase price from a lender and pledging the Units to the lender as security fir the loan, but the Transaction differs from a secured loan arrangement in significant respects, including the following: (i) the Notional Portfolio and Notional Portfolio Amount are only notional concepts so Counterparty will not own or control any Units through the Transaction (although Counterparty will be treated as "constructive owner" of the Units for tax purposes), (ii) Counterparty will not have the right to redeem any Units from Citigroup upon termination of the Transaction and (iii) Coanterparty will be exposed to the risk of nonpayment by Citigroup. 4. No Rights in or Arising from Units. Counterparty will have no legal or beneficial interest in the Units. Counterparty will not have the right to vote, transfer or otherwise control the Units ad Citigroup will not be obligated to take any other action with respect to the Units except as expressly provided in the Confirmation. Counterparty will not have the rights of an investor in each Fund and therefore may be unable to assert a cause of action for damages incurred under the Transaction resulting from acts or omissions of such Fund, each Underlying Fund, each Fund Manager, each Underlying Fund Manager or related persons. Citigroup will not be obligated to assert any such rights on Counterporty's behalf and may be entitled to be indemnified by Counterparty for such matters under certain circumstances as provided in the Confirmation. 5. Citigroup's Hedging Activity. Citigroup may hedge the risk of the Transaction in whole or in pan by investing in the Units but Citigroup has made no representation regarding the extent of the its hedging activities, if any, and will have no obligation to establish or maintain any hedge position. To the extent that Citigroup elects to hedge by investing in each Fund, Counterpart,/ will have no legal or beneficial interest in any the related Units. The Transaction will be cash settled. so Counterparty will not be entitled to receive any Units from Citigroup at termination of the Transaction. Citigroup or an affiliate may receive direct or indirect compensation from each Fund or each Fund Manager in connection with any purchase of Units to be held as a hedge for the Transaction. 24 EFTA01118906 6. C-onaterporo• Risk. Counterparty s receipt of any amounts owed to it under the Transaction is dependent on Citigroup's ability to pay those amounts. There is no central clearing or guaranty function for over-the-counter derivatives such as the Transaction, so if Citigroup fails to make the cash payments required under the Transaction, the Counterparty may lose its initial payment under the Transaction and any anticipated benefit of the Transaction. In the event of an insolvency of Citigroup, Counterparty will be a general unsecured creditor of Citigroup and will have no security interest or similar preferential rights to any Units held by Citigroup as a hedge for the Transaction. 7. Fund Information. Counterparty may have limited access to information provided to investors in each Fund. Such information may not be made available to Citigroup (for example if Citigroup elects not to hedge its risk by investing in the Units) or may be made available to Citigroup under obligations of confidentiality that prohibit disclosure to Counterparty. Citigroup will be under no obligation to disclose to Counterparty any information concerning such Fund except as expressly provided in the Confirmation. To the extent that any such information is provided to Counterparty by Citigroup, (i) Citigroup will be under no duty to verify such information, (ii) Citigroup will not make any representation or warranty concerning the accuracy, validity or completeness of such information and (iii) Citigroup's delivery of such information should not be construed as investment or other advice. 8. Leverage. The Transaction is highly leveraged. Such leverage increases the potential volatility of the Transaction because any leverage will be repaid before payment is made to Counterparty. As a result, relatively small movements in the value of each Fund may result in an immediate and substantial decline in the value of the Transaction. A decline in value of such Fund may result in an immediate deleveraging of die Transaction and reduction of Counterparty's exposure to such Fund at a time and price that is financially disadvantageous to Counterparty unless Counterparty elects to make additional cash payments to Citigroup under the Transaction. 9. Citigroup's Discretion. Citigroup will act as Calculation Agent under the Transaction and in that capacity will determine the Notional Leverage Amount, the Adjusted Notional Portfolio Amount and the Settlement Portfolio Value, among other things. Absent manifest error, all calculations, valuations and determinations made by the Calculation Agent with respect to the Transaction will be non-negotiable and binding on the Counterparty. Citigroup will also have significant discretion to determine whether a Potential Termination Event has occurred and to modify or cause an early termination of the Transaction in that event. Citigroup will exercise such rights in good faith as it deems necessary to protect its interests under the Transaction will have no obligation to exercise or refrain such rights for the benefit or protection of Counterparty or for the purpose of maximizing the Notional Portfolio Amount or the Realized Basket Value. Citigroup will not act as fiduciary for Counterparty in connection with the Transaction, whether in its capacity as party to the Transaction or as Calculation Agent. 10. illiqwidity. There is no established secondary trading market for transactions such as the Transaction and it is unlikely that a secondary market will develop. Counterparty will not have the right to transfer, sell or assign any interest in the Transaction. A fee will be deducted from the settlement value of the Transaction if Counterparty elects to terminate the Transaction prior to the Scheduled Termination Date. I I. New Issues. Citigroup is a 'restricted person' under Rule 2790 of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the 'Rule') end accordingly the Units referenced under the Transaction may be deemed subject to any policies of each Fund that exclude investors who arc "restricted persons" from participating in any appreciation or depreciation from new issues as defined in the Rule. 12. Citigroup Relationships with each Fund and Fund Manager. Each Fund is sponsored and advised by Citigroup Alternative Investments, Inc, rCAl"), which is an affiliate of Citigroup. Each Fund will compensate CAI for certain services it provides to such Fund. Payment of such fees by such Fund will reduce the Adjusted Notional Portfolio Amount and the Settlement Portfolio Value below the amounts that would exist if such fees were not paid. 13. Citigroup Relationships with Each Underlying Fund and Underlying Fund Manager. Citigroup has or may develop other business relationships with each Underlying Fund, each Underlying Fund Manager and/or other funds managed or advised by such Underlying Fund Manager, including as investor in such Underlying Fund, a separate account or other funds managed or advised by such Underlying Fund Manager, or as leverage provider, prime broker, introducing broker, advisor, derivative counterpatty or otherwise, and as a result may earn fees, commissions and other revenues from such Underlying Fund and/or such Underlying Fund Manager. As a result of such 25 EFTA01118907 relationships, Citigroup may possess information about such Underlying Fund or such Underlying Fund Manager that may be inconsistent with or in addition to any information provided or made available to Counterparty and that may be materially adverse as to such Underlying Fund or such Underlying Fund Manager. To the extent that Citigroup has such information, Citigroup will not disclose that information to Counterpart), or provide any advice or recommendations to Counterparty based on that information. Each Underlying Fund's obligations under any transactions with Citigroup will generally rank senior to the Units. Citigroup will exercise its rights under such transactions to protect its own interests, without regard to the interests of such Underlying Fund or Counterparty. Exercise of such rights or termination of such transactions may have an adverse impact on such Underlying Fund or the value of the Units. 14. Other Activities of Citigroup.

Citigroup will not disclose to Counterparty or such Underlying Fund any information concerning or obtained in the course of such other business activities and will be under no obligation to use such information for the benefit of Counterparty or such Underlying Fund. IS. Citigroup Not Acting as Advisor. There may be significant legal, tax and investment risks associated with the Transaction. Counterparty should consult and rely on qualified professional advisors with respect to such matters. Citigroup is entering into the Transaction in a principal capacity for its own account. Citigroup is not acting as adviser to Counterparty in connection with the Transaction and has not recommended the Transaction as a suitable investment for Counterparty. 16. Certain Tax Matters. Counterparty and Citigroup will agree to treat the Transaction as a "constructive ownership transaction" for purposes of Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Section 1260 treats a taxpayer owning certain types of derivative positions in property as having "constructive ownership" of that property, with the result that all or a portion of any lonyterm capital gain recognized by that taxpayer with respect to the derivative position may be recharacterized as ordinary income. Section 1260 also imposts an interest charge on any gain so reeharacterized. Counterparty should obtain independent tax advice concerning the impact of treating the Transaction as a "constructive ownership transaction". 17. Other Terms of Confirmation. The Confirmation is subject to and incorporates the terms of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (the "Master Agreement") published by The International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA"), a trade group including certain dealers in derivative instruments of which Citigroup is a member.
