GLDUS133 Georgetown University Endowment
This confidential private placement memorandum (as amended or supplemented
from time to time, this
"Memorandum") is furnished on a confidential basis by iCapital Advisors, LLC
or an affiliate (the "Investment
Manager") to a limited number of sophisticated investors ("Investors") for
the purpose of providing certain
information about an investment in limited partner interests (the
"Interests") in Glendower Access Secondary
Opportunities IV (U.S.), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Access
Fund"). The Access Fund expects
to invest substantially all of its assets in Glendower Capital Secondary
Opportunities Fund IV, LP, an English
private fund limited partnership (together with its parallel funds and
alternative investment vehicles, if
applicable, the "Underlying Fund").
The Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of the Underlying Fund dated
October 2017 (as supplemented
by the Supplement to the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated
November 2017 and as may be
amended, restated and/or further supplemented from time to time, the
"Underlying Fund PPM") is attached
hereto on a confidential basis as Appendix A and is incorporated herein by
reference. The investment and
business objective of the Access Fund is to acquire a direct limited partner
interest in the Underlying Fund. The
Underlying Fund PPM is an integral part of this Memorandum, therefore,
prospective investors should carefully
read the Underlying Fund PPM. This Memorandum is qualified in its entirety
by the Underlying Fund PPM and
the limited partnership agreement of the Underlying Fund (as may be amended
or otherwise supplemented from
time to time, the "Underlying Fund LPA"), which shall be provided upon
request by Glendower Access
Secondary Opportunities IV GP LLC (the "General Partner") or Investment
Manager. In the event of any
conflict or inconsistency between such reference or terms described in this
Memorandum relating to the
Underlying Fund and the Underlying Fund PPM, the Underlying Fund PPM shall
control. In the event of any
conflict or inconsistency between such reference or terms described in the
Underlying Fund PPM and the
Underlying Fund LPA, the Underlying Fund LPA shall control. Neither the
Interests nor the interests in the
Underlying Fund have been recommended, approved or disapproved by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), or by any other U.S. federal or state securities
commission, regulatory authority, or
any non-U.S. securities commission or regulatory authority. Furthermore, the
foregoing authorities have not
confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of this Memorandum. Any
EFTA01438843
representation to the contrary
may be a criminal offense.
Neither the Interests nor the interests in the Underlying Fund have been
registered under the U.S. Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any
U.S. state or the securities laws of any
other country or jurisdiction, nor is such registration contemplated. The
Interests will be offered and sold in the
U.S. in reliance upon the exemptions provided in the Securities Act and/or
Regulation D promulgated thereunder
and other exemptions of similar import in the laws of the states and
jurisdictions where the offering will be made,
and in compliance with any applicable U.S. state or other securities laws.
The Interests may not be sold or
transferred (i) except as permitted under the Partnership Agreement and (ii)
in compliance with all applicable
U.S. federal, state and non-U.S. securities laws and any contractual
restrictions imposed by the Underlying Fund.
It is not expected that the Interests or the interests in the Underlying
Fund will be registered under the Securities
Act, or any other securities laws. Neither the Access Fund nor the
Underlying Fund will be registered as an
investment company under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "Investment Company
Act"). Consequently, investors will not be afforded the protections of the
Investment Company Act. The
Interests are being offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.
Each investor must be a U.S. person that is (x) an "accredited investor" as
defined within the meaning of
Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, (y) a
"qualified purchaser" as defined in
Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act and (z) a "qualified client,"
as defined in the U.S. Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"). There is no public
market for the Interests, and no
such market is expected to develop in the future. Neither the General
Partner nor the Investment Manager is
authorized or expected to become authorized under the European Union's
Directive 2011/61/EU on Alternative
Investment Fund Managers (the "AIFM Directive") as of the date of this
Memorandum, and the substantive
requirements applicable to an authorized "Alternative Investment Fund
Manager" ("AIFM") under the AIFM
Directive or any national implementing law are not applicable to the General
Partner or the Investment Manager.
Neither the General Partner nor the Investment Manager will market interests
(or permit interests to be marketed
on their behalf) to any prospective investor located, resident or domiciled
or with a registered office in or

organized under the laws of a relevant member state (each, a "Member State")
of the European Economic Area
("EEA")1 when such marketing is reasonably likely to give rise to the
application of any requirement of the
AIFM Directive to the General Partner or the Investment Manager. In the
event a prospective investor
inadvertently receives this Memorandum while located in the EEA, the
prospective investor should disregard
this Memorandum and return the Memorandum to the applicable Placement Agent
(as defined below).
Investment in the Access Fund is suitable only for sophisticated investors
and requires the financial ability and
willingness to accept the high risks and lack of liquidity inherent in an
investment in the Access Fund. Investors
in the Access Fund must be prepared to bear such risks for an extended
period of time. No assurance can be
given that the Access Fund's investment objectives will be achieved, that
investors will receive a return of their
capital or that substantial losses will be avoided. Investors could lose the
entire value of their investment.
Purchasers of Interests will not be limited partners of the Underlying Fund,
will have no direct interest in
the Underlying Fund, will have no voting rights in the Underlying Fund and
will have no standing or
recourse, and may not bring an action against, the Underlying Fund or the
general partner of the
Underlying Fund (the "Glendower GP") and their respective affiliates or any
of their respective advisors,
officers, directors, employees, partners or members (together with the
Glendower GP, Glendower Capital,
LLP and Glendower Capital (U.S.), LLC, "Glendower") for any breach of the
Underlying Fund LPA. To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Access Fund may bring legal action
against the Underlying Fund
or Glendower only at the initiative of the General Partner or the Investment
Manager, as a delegate of
the General Partner. None of the Underlying Fund or Glendower: (i) is
responsible for the organization,
operation or management of the Access Fund; (ii) has participated in, or is
responsible for, the offering of
Interests; (iii) has participated, or will participate, in the preparation
of, or shall be responsible for, the
contents of any of this Memorandum (other than Appendix A), the Partnership
Agreement, the
subscription agreement and related documents thereto, (the "Subscription
Agreement") or any related
agreements, instruments or accompanying sales documentation; (iv) makes any
representation with
respect to the adequacy or sufficiency of the information contained in this
Memorandum to any investor

the fairness, correctness,
accuracy, reasonableness or completeness of any of the information contained
in this Memorandum, and
it expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability therefor. Glendower
has no responsibility to update
any of the information provided in this Memorandum. The information
contained herein relating to the

hereto, was obtained from
Glendower. Such information contained in this Memorandum does not purport to
be complete and is

Moreover, none of the
limited partners of the Access Fund (the "Limited Partners"), the General
Partner, Investment Manager
or any of their respective affiliates has either (i) the right to
participate in the control, management or
operations of the Underlying Fund or (ii)
commit the Underlying Fund,

General Partner or any of their

the Underlying Fund LPA. If the
Access Fund fails to make a capital contribution with respect to its
investment in the Underlying Fund
when due, whether as a result of a default of a Limited Partner or
otherwise, the Underlying Fund may
(but is not required to) exercise various remedies against the Access Fund
and/or its Limited Partners on
a look through basis, including forfeiture of all of its investment in the
Underlying Fund. Both the Access
Fund and the Underlying Fund impose administrative or management fees,
custodial accounting and
other service fees, performance allocations and other expenses that will
reduce returns and returns to
Limited Partners are likely to be lower than those from a direct investment
in the Underlying Fund.
Nothing contained in this paragraph or elsewhere in this Memorandum shall
constitute a waiver by any
investor or potential investor in the Access Fund of any of its legal rights
under applicable U.S. federal
securities laws or any other laws whose applicability is not permitted to be
contractually waived. By
subscribing for an interest in the Access Fund, each Limited Partner will be
deemed to agree that
Glendower will be a third-party beneficiary of this paragraph.
The historical investment performance incorporated herein provides no
assurance of the future performance of
the Underlying Fund or of the future performance of the Access Fund and is
not indicative of future results.
There can be no assurance that the Underlying Fund will achieve comparable
results. Return calculations in the
Underlying Fund PPM include valuations for unrealized investments. Actual
realized returns on unrealized
investments will depend on, among other factors, future operating results,
market conditions at the time of
disposition, legal and contractual restrictions on transfer that may limit
the power to legally bind or
No Glendower entity has (i)

liquidity, any related transaction costs
and the timing and manner of disposition, all of which may differ from the
assumptions and valuations used in
the historical investment performance data incorporated herein. Accordingly,
the actual realized returns on
unrealized investments may differ materially from the returns incorporated
herein. There can be no assurance
that the Underlying Fund will be able to implement its investment strategy,
achieve its investment objective or
avoid substantial losses.
This Memorandum contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified
by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as "may," "seek," "expect," "estimate," or "believe" or the
negatives thereof or other variations
thereon or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are statements
that are not historical facts,
including statements about beliefs and expectations. Any statement in this
Memorandum that contains
intentions, beliefs, expectations or predictions (and the assumptions
underlying them) is a forward-looking
statement. These assumptions are based on plans, estimates, and projections,
as they are currently available.
Forward-looking statements therefore speak only as of the date they are
made, and none of the Underlying Fund,
Glendower, the Access Fund, the General Partner, the Investment Manager or
any of their respective affiliates
undertakes to update any of them in light of new information or future
events. Forward-looking statements
involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors
could therefore cause actual results of
the Underlying Fund and the Access Fund to differ materially from those
contained in any forward-looking
statement.
The terms of the Underlying Fund have not been finalized and may be subject
to change in connection with
continuing negotiation with prospective investors. The final terms of the
Underlying Fund may be different
from those summarized herein or provided in the materials incorporated by
reference herein. A prospective
investor should not invest unless it is able to sustain the loss of all or a
significant portion of its investment.
In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own
examination of the Access Fund and the
terms of the offering, including the merits and risks involved, not all of
which are discussed in this Memorandum.

INTRODUCTION
Glendower Access Secondary Opportunities IV (U.S.), L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the "Access
Fund"), has been formed to invest substantially all of its investable assets
in Glendower Capital Secondary
Opportunities Fund IV, LP, an English private fund limited partnership
(together with its parallel funds and
alternative investment vehicles, if applicable, the "Underlying Fund"). The
principal investment objective
of the Underlying Fund is to generate attractive risk-adjusted investment
returns, principally in the form of
capital appreciation, through the acquisition, holding and disposition of a
diverse portfolio of investments
including large and mid-market buyout, growth capital, venture capital,
special situations, turnaround,
mezzanine, distressed opportunities, real estate and infrastructure assets
primarily on the secondary market.
The investments are expected to be in established generalist and specialist
private equity funds on the
secondary market and in private equity funds or portfolios of private equity
assets on the secondary market
through bespoke liquidity solutions.
The Access Fund expects to invest substantially all of its investable assets
in the Underlying Fund.
Accordingly, prospective investors should carefully read the Confidential
Private Placement Memorandum
of the Underlying Fund (the "Underlying Fund PPM"), including the sections
relating to, and describing,
the risk factors and potential conflicts of interest of the Underlying Fund,
which is hereby incorporated by
reference into this Memorandum and attached hereto as Appendix A and the
limited partnership agreement
of the Underlying Fund, which shall be provided upon request by the General
Partner or Investment
Manager. By making the Access Fund available, neither the General Partner,
the Investment Manager nor
any of their respective affiliates is providing investment advice or making
any recommendation as to the
advisability of an investment in the Access Fund or the Underlying Fund.
The Access Fund is offering Interests to Investors that are "U.S. Persons"
as defined in Rule 902 under the
U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). If an
Investor is a Non-U.S. person for
U.S. tax purposes or becomes a Non-U.S. person for U.S. tax purposes after
investing in the Access Fund,
adverse tax consequences could result for the Investor.

to the Access Fund for investment into the Underlying Fund. However,
the General Partner is not required to set aside any such amounts, and
may commit up to 100% of the Limited Partners' Subscriptions to the
Underlying Fund. If the General Partner over-commits the Access Fund
to the Underlying Fund (i.e., commits an amount to the Underlying
Proprietary and Confidential
3
EFTA01438862
GLDUS133 Georgetown University Endowment
Fund, which together with any expenses of the Access Fund, is greater
than the total amount of the Limited Partners' Subscriptions to the
Access Fund) the General Partner may need to fund Access Fund
expenses or future capital calls by the Underlying Fund through the
distributions received from the Underlying Fund (in such case the
Limited Partners will be allocated income without corresponding cash
to pay taxes on such income) or through borrowings. See "Borrowing."
Offering; Investment in the
Access Fund
Limited partner interests of the Access Fund ("Interests") are being
offered and sold in a private placement to certain U.S. investors
("Limited Partners", and, together with the General Partner,
"Partners").
The Access Fund is designed for investors ("Investors") that are either
(A) U.S. taxable investors or (B) investors that are pension plans, Keogh
plans, individual retirement accounts, tax-exempt institutions and other
tax-exempt limited partners ("U.S. Tax-Exempt Investors") that are
willing to receive material amounts of "unrelated business taxable
income" (as defined under Sections 512 and 514 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")) ("UBTI"). The Access Fund
is not designed for (i) U.S. Tax-Exempt Investors that are not willing to
receive material amounts of UBTI or (ii) investors that are not "U.S.
persons" (as described in "Tax, Regulatory and Certain ERISA
Considerations — Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations")
("Non-U.S. Investors"). If a Limited Partner is a Non-U.S. Investor or
becomes a Non-U.S. Investor for U.S. tax purposes after investing in the
Access Fund, adverse tax consequences could result for the Limited
Partner. Those U.S. Tax-Exempt Investors that do not wish to receive
any UBTI and are willing to forgo claiming U.S. treaty benefits and NonU.S.
Investors should consider investing in the Offshore Access Fund
(as defined below). See "Tax, Regulatory and Certain ERISA
Considerations — Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" and
"— Certain ERISA Considerations." Prospective investors should consult
their own advisors regarding the U.S. and foreign tax consequences of
an investment in the Access Fund or the Feeder Fund.
Minimum Subscription
The minimum capital commitment ("Subscription") by a Limited
Partner will be $250,008, although the General Partner reserves the right
to accept a Subscription of lesser amounts. Investors investing in the
Access Fund rather than directly through the Underlying Fund will be
subject to an additional layer of expenses.
The minimum commitment to the Underlying Fund per investor is
$5,008,080, although the Glendower GP may accept a lesser amount.
Investors seeking to make a Subscription equal to or greater than
$5,008,080 should consider investing directly in the Underlying Fund.
See "Management Fee." The General Partner will not have a
Subscription.

Initial and Subsequent
Closings
The Access Fund may hold multiple closings. The General Partner will
provide prospective Limited Partners with notice of the anticipated date
of the initial closing (the "Initial Closing") of the Access Fund. The
General Partner may admit additional Investors into the Access Fund or
allow existing Limited Partners to increase their Subscriptions in
subsequent closings until the final closing of the Access Fund (each such
closing, a "Subsequent Closing" and the final Subsequent Closing, the
"Final Closing"). Subsequent closings may be held after the Initial
Closing until the date that is 3 months following the last date on which
the Underlying Fund may hold a closing (it being understood that the
Glendower GP is not required to accept any such additional commitment
from the Access Fund). Each investor that becomes a Limited Partner
(or that is already a Limited Partner and increases its Subscription) at
any closing subsequent to the Initial Closing will be required to make a
capital contribution at admission equal to (i) the amount of the
contribution required by the Underlying Fund from the Access Fund
attributable to such Investor's new or increased Subscription (which may
include an interest component at a rate per annum equal to the higher of
(A) LIBOR plus 2% and (B) 8% for the period or such other amount as
set forth in the Underlying Fund LPA), if any, if the Access Fund makes
a corresponding increase in its commitment to the Underlying Fund, (ii)
its proportionate share of all funded expenses of the Access Fund
(excluding the Management Fee) and, to the extent not duplicative of (i)
above, its proportionate share of all funded Subscriptions of Investors
admitted in prior closings, including if applicable, in connection with
Subscriptions (or portions thereof) that are not correspondingly invested
in the Underlying Fund, (iii) the amount of the Management Fee that
would have been payable in respect of such Investor had such Investor
subscribed for an Interest at the Initial Closing and (iv) an amount
computed as interest on the amounts set forth under (i) through (iii)
above at a rate per annum equal to the higher of (A) LIBOR plus 2% and
(B) 8% for the period from the due date or dates on which the other
Partners were required to make their earlier contributions to the date of
such contribution. Amounts paid by any Limited Partner as interest on
(ii) above, shall be paid to the Access Fund for the account of Limited
Partners that participated in prior closings and any amounts paid by any
Limited Partner as interest on (iii) above, shall be paid to the Investment
Manager and not to the Access Fund or any other Limited Partner. Any
contributions by a Limited Partner to the Access Fund to fund late
closing interest under (iv) shall not reduce the unpaid portion of such
Limited Partner's Subscription (i.e., a Limited Partner will be required
to contribute amounts in addition to its Subscription to fund any late
closing interest, if applicable) and any such interest amounts credited to
the account of Limited Partners shall not increase the unpaid
Subscriptions of such Limited Partners who receive such interest.
Failure to pay subsequent interest as calculated in (iv) above will be
considered a default under the Partnership Agreement.

GLDUS133 Georgetown University Endowment
The Access Fund will make its investment in the Underlying Fund at
closings of the Underlying Fund on or after the Initial Closing, and if
any Limited Partner increases its Subscription or any additional Limited
Partners are admitted to the Access Fund at a Subsequent Closing, the
Access Fund may make additional investments in the Underlying Fund,
upon subsequent closings of the Underlying Fund, at the discretion of
the Investment Manager, contemporaneously with or subsequent to the
date of any increase in Subscriptions or admission of additional Limited
Partners. In the event that a Subsequent Closing occurs after the Access
Fund's initial investment in the Underlying Fund, existing Investors'
interests in the Underlying Fund may be diluted to the extent that the
Access Fund does not subsequently make a corresponding additional
investment in the Underlying Fund. The General Partner is under no
obligation to make a corresponding additional investment in the
Underlying Fund in connection with any Subsequent Closing.
Investors admitted at Subsequent Closings will participate in the Access
Fund's existing investments in the Underlying Fund, which may dilute
the Interests of existing Limited Partners and may indirectly participate
in the existing investments of the Underlying Fund, to the extent the
Access Fund is permitted by the general partner of the Underlying Fund
(the "Glendower GP") to participate in such existing investments,
which may dilute the Interests of existing Limited Partners and partners
of the Underlying Fund, including the Access Fund. For the avoidance
of doubt, investments made and disposed of prior to a particular
Subsequent Closing will not be allocated to any Investors admitted at
such Subsequent Closing. Although Investors admitted at Subsequent
Closings will make capital contributions such that all Investors will have
made proportional capital contributions (based on their Subscriptions) to
the Access Fund, there can be no assurances that the amount paid by
such Investors will reflect the fair value of their pro rata share of the
Underlying Fund at the time of the Subsequent Closings.
Term
The term of the Access Fund is currently expected to end within one year
following the dissolution of the Underlying Fund, but may be extended
for two additional one-year periods beyond the one-year anniversary of
the dissolution of the Underlying Fund at the discretion of the General
Partner or may be terminated, liquidated and dissolved earlier in certain
limited situations outlined in the Partnership Agreement.
Parallel Access Funds and
Feeder Funds
The General Partner may form one or more limited partnerships or other
investment vehicles to invest in parallel with the Access Fund (each, a
"Parallel Access Fund") and/or feeder funds, including the Offshore
Access Fund (as defined below) (collectively, "Feeder Funds") in order
to comply with securities laws or to address tax, legal, regulatory or other
issues of investors in such entity or program. The Access Fund, any
Parallel Access Fund and any Feeder Fund (including the Offshore
Access Fund) shall share common fees and expenses related to their
operation and investments in proportion to the capital invested by each
Proprietary and Confidential
EFTA01438866
6
EFTA01438867
GLDUS133 Georgetown University Endowment
entity, directly or indirectly, in the Underlying Fund, to the extent
practicable.
In particular, the General Partner or the Investment Manager will form
Glendower Access Secondary Opportunities IV (International), L.P. (the
"Offshore Access Fund", and together with the Access Fund, the
"Access Funds") for certain qualified U.S. Tax-Exempt Investors not
willing to receive material amounts of UBTI and certain qualified NonU.S.
Investors. The Offshore Access Fund is expected to be a Cayman
Islands exempted limited partnership and other than assets used to cover
Offshore Access Fund expenses, the Offshore Access Fund will invest
all of the Subscriptions made by the limited partners of the Offshore
Access Fund in the Access Fund.
Although Parallel Access Funds or Feeder Funds are expected to invest
on similar terms and conditions to the Access Fund, such Parallel Access
Funds or Feeder Funds may have the same or different terms (including
terms that are more favorable) than those described herein, provided,
that any such Parallel Access Funds or Feeder Funds will only accept
subscriptions from "qualified purchasers," as defined in the U.S.
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment
Company Act"), and interests will be offered and sold only to investors
who are "accredited investors" within the meaning given to such term in
Regulation D under the Securities Act.
Capital Calls
Each Limited Partner's capital contributions will be payable when called
by the General Partner to meet anticipated Access Fund expenses and
liabilities and to make contributions to the Underlying Fund. Each
Limited Partner's capital contribution shall generally be due upon
7 business days' written notice, except in certain limited circumstances
where the General Partner deems it prudent to require capital
contributions to be made on shorter notice. The General Partner may
require each Limited Partner to make a capital contribution to the Access
Fund on the date it is admitted to the Access Fund. The General Partner
will provide written notice of the exact size and timing of any such initial
capital contribution in advance of the Initial Closing of the Access Fund.
A Limited Partner who fails to make its capital contributions in a timely
manner including in connection with recalls of Distributions or who
otherwise fails to make a payment required by the Access Fund
(including (i) expenses incurred in respect of transfers (ii) expenses
incurred by the General Partner or the Access Fund to the extent that any
tax information or return is required to be prepared by the General
Partner or the Access Fund because of the identity, jurisdiction or action
of the Limited Partner (including the election not to receive Schedule K1
electronically) and (iii) any applicable interest charged in connection
with a Subsequent Closing) may suffer substantial penalties with respect
to its Interest, including, a total forfeiture of such Interest. In addition,
any (i) material breach by a Limited Partner of its representations and
Proprietary and Confidential
7
EFTA01438868
GLDUS133 Georgetown University Endowment
warranties in its Subscription Agreement and (ii) any failure by a
Limited Partner to provide information as requested by the General
Partner or Investment Manager in connection with anti-money
laundering or similar programs, will be considered a default under the
Partnership Agreement.
In the event that the Access Fund fails to make a capital contribution to
the Underlying Fund as a result of the failure of a Limited Partner to
make a capital contribution to the Access Fund, the Underlying Fund
may impose certain remedies against the Access Fund, including,
potentially causing the Access Fund to forfeit all or a portion of its
interest in the Underlying Fund.
With respect to any capital contribution (or portion thereof) that is
subject to a default (the "Defaulted Amount"), the General Partner may
call additional capital from the Limited Partners that have already made
the applicable capital contribution (not in excess of their unfunded
Subscriptions) to the extent necessary to fund the Defaulted Amount.
Bifurcated Default
If the Access Fund fails to contribute all or any portion of any call
amount set forth in a funding notice received from the Underlying Fund
(an "Access Fund Default"), and such failure results from the failure of
one or more Limited Partners (each such Limited Partner, a "Defaulting
Access Fund Investor") to make full payment in respect of any capital
call issued by the Access Fund, then Glendower has agreed to only treat
the Access Fund as a "Defaulting Partner" (as defined in the limited
partnership agreement of the Underlying Fund, (as may be amended or
otherwise supplemented from time to time, the "Underlying Fund LPA"))
with respect to the portion of the Access Fund's interest in the
Underlying Fund that has defaulted. In addition, the General Partner has
agreed that, if the Glendower GP so requests upon any Access Fund
Default, the General Partner, or the Investment Manager on its behalf,
shall cause the Access Fund to assign to the Underlying Fund, and the
General Partner will delegate to the Underlying Fund, the authority to
exercise directly for the direct benefit of the Underlying Fund, all of the
rights and remedies provided in the Partnership Agreement against a
Defaulting Access Fund Investor as if they were a Defaulting Partner,
and the General Partner will provide such assistance as is reasonably
requested by the Glendower GP in connection with the exercise of any
remedies against the Defaulting Access Fund Investor.
In addition, in applying and interpreting the provisions of the Partnership
Agreement, in order to equitably determine the rights and obligations of
any Limited Partner with respect to the Underlying Fund, the General
Partner may treat any Limited Partner as if it was a separate limited
partner of the Underlying Fund, any default penalties imposed by the
Glendower GP may be allocated solely by the General Partner to the
applicable Defaulting Access Fund Investor to the maximum extent
possible.
Proprietary and Confidential
8
EFTA01438869
GLDUS133 Georgetown University Endowment
The General Partner shall have the sole discretion to apply the default
provisions to each investor in any Feeder Fund on a look-through basis
as if such investor was a direct limited partner of the Access Fund instead
of applying such provisions directly to such Feeder Fund.
Distributions
Distributions from the Underlying Fund received by the Access Fund
will generally be distributed to the Limited Partners (including any
Feeder Funds) pro rata based on their respective Subscriptions to the
Access Fund (excluding any Defaulting Partners, if applicable) as
promptly as practicable. The Access Fund will be entitled to withhold
from any Distribution amounts necessary to create, in the General
Partner's sole discretion, reserves for the payment of Access Fund
expenses and liabilities, to make anticipated capital contributions to the
Underlying Fund or for any other purpose permitted under the
Partnership Agreement.
Liquidating distributions will be made in accordance with positive
capital account balances.
Capital Accounts;
Allocations
It is intended that capital accounts will be maintained in accordance with
U.S. federal income tax guidelines. In general, items of income, gain,
loss and deduction will be allocated to the Limited Partners' capital
accounts in a manner consistent with the distribution procedures outlined
above.
Organizational and
Offering Expenses
The Access Fund, and the Limited Partners in the Access Fund
(including any Feeder Fund) will bear all organizational and offering
expenses incurred by the General Partner and/or the Investment Manager
("Organizational Expenses") (including legal, travel, accounting, tax
advisory expenses, start-up filing, capital-raising and other expenses,
organizational and other start-up expenses of the General Partner, and
custodial and administrative costs) in connection with the formation of
the Access Fund, any Feeder Fund and the offering of the Interests. For
the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing Organizational Expenses do not
include expenses incurred by Placement Agents (as defined below).
Access Fund Expenses
The Access Fund will pay the costs and expenses of the Access Fund,
including: the Management Fee; Organizational Expenses; liquidation
expenses of the Access Fund; any sales or other taxes, fees or
government charges which may be assessed against the Access Fund;
expenses and fees related to accounting, audits of the Access Fund's
books and records and preparation of the Access Fund's tax returns and
other third-party provider expenses, including expenses related to tax
reporting including under the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance
provisions of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act
("FATCA") and under the Common Reporting Standard ("CRS"); costs
of preparing and distributing financial statements and other reports to
and other communications with the Partners, as well as costs of all
Proprietary and Confidential

governmental returns, reports and filings of the Access Fund; any costs
or expenses in connection with the Access Fund's admission to the
Underlying Fund (including, the legal costs of completing subscription
booklets and the Access Fund's side letter, if any, with the Underlying
Fund and any subsequent closing interest charged to the Access Fund);
extraordinary one-time expenses of the Access Fund; all expenses
relating to litigation and threatened litigation involving the Access Fund,
including indemnification expenses; commissions or brokerage fees or
similar charges incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of
securities; expenses attributable to normal and extraordinary investment
banking, commercial banking, accounting, appraisal, legal and recording
fees and expenses, administrative (including any fees and expenses of
the Administrator or Custodian related to the Access Fund or the General
Partner), custodial and registration services provided to the Access Fund
and any expenses attributable to consulting services, including in each
case services with respect to the proposed purchase or sale of securities
by the Access Fund that are not reimbursed by the issuer of such
securities or others (whether or not any such purchase or sale is
consummated); fees and expenses incurred in connection with or
otherwise relating to the preparation of form documentation in respect
of Transfers; fees and expenses incurred in respect of any arrangement
to provide additional liquidity to Limited Partners and facilitate the
process for Limited Partners to sell all or any portion of their Interests;
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Investment Manager, such as
travel, research and other expenses related to the ongoing monitoring on
behalf of the Access Fund in respect of the Underlying Fund and the
management of the Access Fund (including the costs and expenses
(including travel-related expenses) of hosting meetings of the Partners,
or otherwise holding meetings or conferences with Limited Partners,
whether individually or in a group) attending meetings with the
Placement Agents, whether internal or provided by a third party service
provider, utilized for risk management, measurement and valuation
purposes); any expenses incurred in connection with any Credit Facility
or regulatory obligation; and premiums for liability or other insurance to
protect the Access Fund, the General Partner, the Investment Manager
and any of their respective partners, members, stockholders, officers,
directors, employees, agents or affiliates in connection with the activities
of the Access Fund, the General Partner or the Investment Manager.
Access Fund expenses will also include any costs and expenses
associated with the ongoing operations of any alternative investment
vehicles (including administrative fees and expenses; legal and
recording fees and expenses; any fees and expenses of consultants,
economists, outside counsel, accountants and other third-party service
providers; any taxes (including withholding taxes), fees or other
governmental charges levied against such alternative investment
vehicles, including tax preparation expenses; expenses relating to any
audit, investigation, governmental inquiry or public relations
undertaking and litigation, insurance, indemnification and extraordinary
expenses). In addition to the foregoing, Access Fund expenses will
Proprietary and Confidential
EFTA01438872
10
EFTA01438873
GLDUS133 Georgetown University Endowment
include, and therefore Limited Partners will be responsible for, all of the
operating expenses of the General Partner. Moreover, expenses of or
relating to a Feeder Fund shall be paid by, and treated as expenses of,
the Access Fund to the extent that they would be considered expenses of
the Access Fund if they were incurred by the Access Fund (and indirectly
borne by the limited partners of the Feeder Fund through the Feeder
Fund's Interest as a Limited Partner of the Access Fund); provided,
however, that operating expenses that are uniquely related to a specific
Feeder Fund will be determined with respect to, and paid separately by,
such Feeder Fund, in each case as determined by the General Partner in
its sole discretion. Any contributions by Limited Partners to the Access
Fund to fund their share of Access Fund expenses shall reduce the unpaid
portion of such Limited Partner's Subscription (i.e., a Limited Partner
will not be required to contribute amounts in addition to its Subscription
to fund their share of Access Fund expenses).
In addition to the foregoing costs and expenses, Limited Partners
(including any Feeder Funds) will indirectly bear the cost of the Access
Fund's pro rata share of management fees, carried interest,
organizational expenses, taxes, indemnification and other costs and
expenses payable by the Access Fund as a limited partner of the
Underlying Fund.
Any Feeder Fund would pay its allocable share of Access Fund
expenses by virtue of being a Limited Partner of the Access Fund. To
the extent expenses that constitute Access Fund expenses are incurred
by the General Partner or Investment Manager on the joint behalf of
the Access Fund and/or any Parallel Access Funds established in
connection with the Access Fund to acquire interests in the Underlying
Fund, the Investment Manager will allocate such expenses between the
Access Fund and such Parallel Access Funds as it reasonably deems
appropriate.
Management Fee
A separate fee for management services provided by the Investment
Manager shall be assessed separately for each Limited Partner (the
Limited Partner's "Management Fee"). The Management Fee amount
contributed by each Limited Partner to the Access Fund shall reduce the
unpaid portion of such Limited Partner's Subscription (i.e., a Limited
Partner will not be required to contribute amounts in addition to its
Subscription to fund the Management Fee). The Access Fund shall pay
the aggregate amount of such Management Fee assessed with respect to
the Limited Partners to the Investment Manager.
Commencing upon the "Initial Closing" of the Underlying Fund (as
defined in the Underlying Fund LPA) and for each fiscal quarter
thereafter through the first date on which the "investment period" of the
Underlying Fund has permanently expired, the Management Fee of a
Limited Partner shall be an amount equal to the product of the
Management Fee Rate (as defined below) applicable to such Limited
Proprietary and Confidential
11
EFTA01438874
GLDUS133 Georgetown University Endowment
Partner multiplied by the Subscription of such Limited Partner. After
the end of the "investment period" of the Underlying Fund, through the
second anniversary of the termination of the "investment period" of the
Underlying Fund, the Management Fee of a Limited Partner for each
fiscal quarter shall be an amount equal to the product of the Management
Fee Rate applicable to such Limited Partner multiplied by such Limited
Partner's proportionate share (based upon Subscriptions) of the Access
Fund's proportionate share of capital contributions in respect of all
"Invested Capital" (as defined in the Underlying Fund LPA) of the
Underlying Fund. Thereafter, until the last day of the term of the Access
Fund, the Management Fee of a Limited Partner shall be calculated
based on Invested Capital in accordance with
(C)
below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investment Manager in its sole
discretion may elect to waive or otherwise reduce the Management Fee
attributable to any Limited Partner.
The "Management Fee Rate" for a Limited Partner (A) during the
"investment period" of the Underlying Fund is 1.00% per annum (or
0.25% per quarter); provided, that the Management Fee Rate for (i) a
Limited Partner whose Subscription equals or exceeds $3,000,000 but is
less than $5,000,000 shall be 0.75% per annum (i.e., 0.1875% per
quarter); and (ii) a Limited Partner whose Subscription equals or exceeds
$5,000,000 shall be 0.25% per annum (i.e., 0.0625% per quarter); (B)
from the first date on which the "investment period" of the Underlying
Fund has permanently expired until the second anniversary of such date
is 0.75% per annum (i.e., 0.1875% per quarter); provided, that the
Management Fee Rate for (i) a Limited Partner whose Subscription
equals or exceeds $3,000,000 but is less than $5,000,000 shall be 0.60%
per annum (i.e., 0.15% per quarter); and (ii) a Limited Partner whose
Subscription equals or exceeds $5,000,000 shall be 0.25% per annum
(i.e., 0.0625% per quarter); and (C) thereafter, the greater of 90% of a
Limited Partner's Management Fee for the immediately preceding year
or 0.25% per annum (i.e., 0.0625% per quarter) of such Limited
Partner's Invested Capital.
The Management Fee that is charged by the Access Fund to a Limited
Partner shall be paid to the Investment Manager. The Investment
Manager will pay a material portion of the amount received to the
Placement Agents in exchange for certain servicing functions rendered
by the Placement Agents. The portion of the Management Fee received
may differ among Placement Agents.
The Management Fee will be payable in advance on a quarterly basis
from the Initial Closing.
The foregoing fee is exclusive of the amount of the Underlying Fund
Management Fee payable in respect of the Access Fund as a limited
partner of the Underlying Fund. In addition, the Limited Partners will
indirectly pay carried interest to the Glendower GP by virtue of the
Proprietary and Confidential

Placement Agent;
Placement Fee
The Access Fund will utilize Raymond James & Associates, Inc. or
Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. (each separately and
collectively referred to as "Raymond James") or an affiliate thereof, to
serve as a placement agent, and may also utilize additional placement
agents (each, of Raymond James or such other placement agent, a
"Placement Agent"), in its sole discretion.
At the time of the relevant closing of the Access Fund, each Limited
Partner shall be required to directly pay their applicable Placement
Agent or its affiliate a one-time upfront sales charge or placement fee (a
"Placement Fee") in connection with such Limited Partner's
Subscription. The Placement Fee will equal up to 2.0% of the Limited
Partner's Subscription, as determined by the applicable Placement
Agent, and shall not be considered a capital contribution to the Access
Fund or part of such Limited Partner's Subscription. All expenses
(including marketing costs) of the Placement Agents shall be borne by
the Placement Agents. Each Placement Agent, in its sole discretion, will
have the right to waive all or any portion of the Placement Fee payable
by any particular Limited Partner.
The fees payable to the Placement Agent that refers an Investor will be
disclosed to such Investor prior to its admission to the Access Fund.
Marketing and Fund
Servicing Fees
Raymond James will, and other Placement Agents may, also act as
placement agent or in a similar capacity for the Underlying Fund, and
receive a placement fee from the Glendower GP or an affiliate based on
the Access Fund's aggregate capital commitment to the Underlying
Fund. Raymond James will, and other Placement Agents may, also
receive a placement fee for each referred direct investor commitment to
the Underlying Fund.
Underlying Fund
Management Fee
As described in detail in Section 6 - "General Partner's Share" in the
Underlying Fund PPM (attached hereto in Appendix A), Glendower will
be entitled to receive a management fee (the "Underlying Fund
Management Fee"), payable on January 1, April 1, July 1, October 1,
at an annual rate of initially 1.10% (which reflects a 0.15% discount
given to the Access Fund by the Underlying Fund, and which is not
therefore referred to in the Underlying Fund PPM) of the Access Funds'
capital commitment to the Underlying Fund, calculated as described in
more detail in the Underlying Fund PPM and the Underlying Fund LPA,
which shall be provided upon request by the General Partner or Investment
Manager.
Investors making a Subscription equal to or greater than $5 million
should consider investing directly in the Underlying Fund.

Underlying Fund Carried
Interest
As described in detail in Section 6 — "Distributions" in the Underlying
Fund PPM (attached hereto in Appendix A), the Glendower GP is
entitled to receive "carried interest" distributions equal to 12.5% of the
Underlying Fund's net profits subject to an eight percent (8%) preferred
return with a full catch up provision for the Glendower GP. The actual
amount of any such carried interest payment is based in part upon the
Underlying Fund's achievement of certain returns. The foregoing
description is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the
Underlying Fund LPA, and prospective investors must review the
Underlying Fund documents for a detailed description of the manner in
which the Underlying Fund intends to make carried interest
distributions.
Indemnification
The Investment Manager, the General Partner, any affiliate thereof and,
the respective partners, members, stockholders, officers, directors,
managers, employees, or agents of any of the foregoing and the
Administrator, will be indemnified by the Access Fund out of the assets
of the Access Fund, including the capital calls from the Limited Partners
(which capital calls for indemnification expenses are outside of a
Limited Partner's Subscription), and from the proceeds of liability
insurance and any assets from any recalled Distributions (see "— Capital
Calls"), against certain expenses or losses. In addition, as an investor in
the Underlying Fund, the Access Fund (and indirectly the Limited
Partners (including any Feeder Funds)) will be obligated to fund certain
indemnification obligations of the Underlying Fund, and such amounts
will be callable from Limited Partners of the Access Fund to the full
extent of the Access Fund's obligations to the Underlying Fund,
including through the recall of distributions.
Withdrawal and Transfer
Limited Partners may not withdraw from the Access Fund prior to its
dissolution, provided that a Limited Partner may, with the consent of the
General Partner in accordance with the terms of the Partnership
Agreement, transfer its Interests to a Feeder Fund. In addition, Limited
Partners may not sell, assign or transfer any of their Interests, rights or
obligations in the Access Fund except with the consent of the General
Partner, and such consent may be withheld or delayed in the sole and
absolute discretion of the General Partner. Should the General Partner
consent to a sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of a Limited
Partner's Interest, the transferring Limited Partner or its transferee will
be required to pay Transfer Expenses (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement), which shall be at least $5,008 and shall be sufficient to pay
all costs incurred in connection with any such transfer. Any transferring
Limited Partner and such Limited Partner's transferee shall, jointly and
severally, be required to reimburse the Partnership, at the request of the
General Partner, for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Partnership
in connection with such Transfer. The General Partner may require the
complete or partial withdrawal of a Limited Partner in certain limited
instances (as described in the Partnership Agreement). Transfer

Expenses paid by a Limited Partner or transferee shall not reduce the

unpaid portion of such Limited Partner's Subscription. Failure to pay
any applicable Transfer Expenses will be considered a default under the
Partnership Agreement and any amount due may be deducted directly
from distributions payable to the Limited Partner or transferee.
Reports and Meetings
Annually, the Access Fund will furnish audited financial statements to
all Limited Partners. In addition, each Limited Partner will be provided
annually with an U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Schedule K-1
(or equivalent report). On a quarterly basis, each Limited Partner will
receive a quarterly report and unaudited statement of capital account of
the Access Fund. None of the General Partner, the Investment Manager
or any of their respective affiliates will take any responsibility for the
accuracy or completeness of information provided by, or based upon
information provided by, the Underlying Fund.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Limited Partners will be
treated as partners investing in a partnership, the Access Fund. The
Access Fund's ability to report to Limited Partners
information
regarding its income, gains, losses and deductions is dependent upon its
receipt of such information from the Underlying Fund. The Access Fund
anticipates that it will not be able to deliver Schedules K-1 in respect of
a particular year to Limited Partners prior to April 15 of the following
year. Accordingly, Limited Partners will be required to obtain
extensions for filing their federal, state and local income tax returns.
If the Access Fund does not receive all of the required information in a
timely manner, it may need to rely on estimates in preparing its tax return
and any schedules thereto (including Schedules K-1).
United States Federal
Income Tax Aspects of the
Access Fund
The Access Fund expects to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. The Access Fund has been structured for Limited
Partners that are U.S. residents subject to U.S. federal income tax and
certain U.S. Tax-Exempt Investors that are willing to receive material
amounts of UBTI. While the Access Fund is available to U.S. TaxExempt
Investors, the Access Fund will not take any steps to avoid
adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to such persons. Thus,
by investing in the Access Fund, a U.S. Tax-Exempt Investor should
expect to recognize material amounts of UBTI, which will require the
filing of tax returns and payment of taxes. The Access Fund is not
designed for U.S. Tax-Exempt Investors that are not willing to receive
material amounts of UBTI. U.S. Tax-Exempt Investors that do not wish
to receive any UBTI and are willing to forgo claiming U.S. treaty
benefits should consider investing in the Offshore Access Fund. The
Access Fund is not being offered to Non-U.S. Investors and Non-U.S.
Investors shall not be eligible to invest in the Access Fund. Non-U.S.
Investors should, if eligible, instead consider an investment in the
Offshore Access Fund.

Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors with specific
reference to their own situations as they relate to an investment in the
Access Fund.
Certain ERISA
Considerations
The General Partner intends to conduct the operations of the Access
Fund so that it will be an appropriate investment for employee benefit
plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
and (unless the context otherwise requires) the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time, or any successor
statute thereto ("ERISA"). The Access Fund may require certain
representations or assurances from investors subject to ERISA to
determine compliance with ERISA provisions.
The General Partner will use commercially reasonable efforts so that (a)
less than 25% of the total value of each class of equity interests
(disregarding equity interests held by the General Partner or its affiliates)
in the Access Fund is held by "benefit plan investors," defined in
accordance with Section 3(42) of ERISA and the regulations thereunder,
and therefore (b) the assets of the Access Fund will not constitute plan
assets subject to the fiduciary standards of Part 4 of Title I of ERISA.
Accordingly, the General Partner may not approve the purchase of an
Interest by or proposed transfer of an Interest to a person that has
represented that it is a "benefit plan investor" or to a Controlling Person
to the extent that such purchase or transfer would result in "benefit plan
investors" owning 25% or more of the value of the interests in the Access
Fund immediately after such purchase or proposed transfer (such
percentage determined in accordance with Section 3(42) of ERISA).
Limited Partner Giveback To the extent the Access Fund incurs any
indemnification or other
liability or is otherwise required to return distributions to the Underlying
Fund in accordance with the Underlying Fund LPA (including in respect
of any indemnification or other liability incurred by the Access Fund in
its capacity as a limited partner of the Underlying Fund), each Limited
Partner may be required to return distributions received from the Access
Fund to fund its proportionate share of such liability or obligation;
provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such returns from any
Limited Partner shall not exceed the aggregate amount of distributions
received by such Limited Partner (it being understood that additional
amounts may be called from Limited Partners in respect of
indemnification expenses, which amounts are outside of a Limited
Partner's Subscription).
Amendments; Voting
The Partnership Agreement may generally be amended with the consent
of the General Partner and a majority-in-interest of the Limited Partners,
subject to certain limitations set forth in the Partnership Agreement. The
Partnership Agreement sets forth certain other procedures for
its
amendment, including provisions regarding negative consent and also
allowing the General Partner to amend the Partnership Agreement
without the consent of the Limited Partners in certain circumstances,
EFTA01438882
Proprietary and Confidential
16
EFTA01438883
GLDUS133 Georgetown University Endowment
including (i) to the extent such amendment does not subject any Limited
Partner to any material adverse economic consequences or diminish or
waive in any material respect the duties and obligations of the General
Partner to the Access Fund or the Limited Partners, (ii) to cure any
ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision in the Partnership
Agreement which may be inconsistent with any other provision therein
or to correct any clerical errors or omissions in order that the Partnership
Agreement shall accurately reflect the agreement among the Partners,
(iii) is necessary in order to comply with any fiscal, statutory or official
requirement (whether or not having the force of law) and (iv) to address
changes in financial, regulatory or tax legislation, which amendment
may include reorganizing or reconstituting the Access Fund, but only to
the extent such amendment does not materially adversely affect the
economic returns of the Limited Partners. The General Partner and the
Investment Manager intends to cause the Access Fund to vote its interest
in the Underlying Fund as a single interest.
The General Partner and the Investment Manager will not consult the
Limited Partners when voting the interests of the Access Fund and will
endeavor to vote in a way that benefits the Access Fund as a whole. As
such, a Limited Partner's individual interest may differ from that of the
Access Fund and therefore the vote may not be consistent with how the
Limited Partner would have voted if provided with the opportunity. The
Limited Partners of the Access Fund will not have the right to vote
on any matters requiring the vote of the Access Fund in its capacity
as an investor in the Underlying Fund.
Borrowing
The Access Fund may enter into a credit facility (a "Credit Facility")
with a third party, which Credit Facility may be secured by drawdowns
of Subscriptions, for purposes of temporarily funding all, or any portion
of, any anticipated capital calls by the Underlying Fund in respect of the
Limited Partners' Subscriptions or expenses or liabilities of the Access
Fund in advance of receipt of such amounts from the Limited Partners
and to cover the Access Fund's over-commitment to the Underlying
Fund or defaults by Limited Partners. See "Capital Calls" and
"Purpose; Underlying Fund."
Such borrowings may require the Investment Manager, on behalf of the
General Partner, to pledge all or a portion of the property of the Access
Fund and/or the Subscriptions to the Access Fund to secure such a loan.
In such event, the Access Fund may also be required to delegate the
rights to issue drawdown notices and to receive capital contributions to
a third party. Limited Partners may be required to provide banks or other
financial institutions with financial information and other
documentation reasonably required to obtain borrowings.
Repayment of the principal and the interest (and any related fees and
expenses) amount of any such borrowings will be made from the Limited
Partners' Subscriptions.

Subject to the limitations set forth in the relevant Underlying Fund LPA,
the Underlying Fund may incur indebtedness, provide credit support and
guarantee the obligations of portfolio companies and certain other
obligations at both the Underlying Fund-level and with respect to
obligations of their respective portfolio companies.
Borrowings by the Underlying Fund may make it more difficult for the
Access Fund to enter into a Credit Facility or otherwise borrow funds.
If the Access Fund is not able to borrow sufficient funds to fund any
fund obligations in advance of receipt of such amounts from Limited
Partners or to cover defaults, the Access Fund may no longer be able to
fully meet its capital contribution obligations towards the Underlying
Fund and may be treated as a defaulting investor for purposes of the
Underlying Fund LPA with respect to the Access Fund's entire interest.
In particular, the Access Fund may be unable to borrow sufficient funds
or obtain favorable terms due to the Underlying Fund's borrowing of
funds pursuant to a Credit Facility or other loans from a third party.
Investor Eligibility
Each investor must be an "accredited investor" (as defined within the
meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act), a "qualified client" (as defined in Rule 205-3 of the
Investment Company Act) and a "qualified purchaser" (as defined in
Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act).
Confidentiality
Confidential information provided to the Limited Partners may not be
disclosed to any person other than to its officers, fiduciaries, employees,
agents, consultants, auditors, counsel or other professional advisors, who
have a business need to know such confidential information, who have
been informed of the confidential nature of such confidential
information, and who are, either by the nature of their positions or duties
or pursuant to written agreement, subject to substantially equivalent
restrictions with respect to the use and disclosure of the confidential
information as are set forth in the Partnership Agreement
Notwithstanding anything in this Memorandum to the contrary, to
comply with U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(3)(i), each
investor (and any employee, representative, or other agent of such
investor) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any
kind, the U.S. federal, state, or local income tax treatment and tax
structure of the Access Fund or any transactions undertaken by the
Access Fund, it being understood and agreed, for this purpose, (i) the
name of, or any other identifying information regarding (A) the Access
Fund or any existing or future investor (or any affiliate thereof) in the
Access Fund, or (B) any investment or transaction entered into by the
Access Fund, and (ii) any performance information relating to the
Access Fund or its investments.

Investor Information
For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the Underlying Fund LPA, the
General Partner may be required to provide certain Limited Partner
information to the Glendower GP for a variety of reasons. In addition,
the General Partner may provide certain information to the other Limited
Partners, as well as to the Access Fund's accountants, attorneys and
other service providers as necessary to effect, administer and enforce the
Access Fund and its Partners' rights and obligations, or as otherwise may
be required by applicable law, rule or regulation.
Legal Counsel
Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP ("Cleary Gottlieb") serves as
U.S. legal counsel to the General Partner, the Investment Manager and
certain of their affiliates. Maples and Calder has been retained as
Cayman Islands legal counsel to the Access Funds, General Partner,
Investment Manager and certain of their affiliates. Cleary Gottlieb and
Maples and Calder, which do not represent the Underlying Fund or
Glendower, also advise the General Partner, the Investment Manager
and certain of their affiliates on their respective obligations to the Access
Funds. However, no attorney-client relationship exists between either
Cleary Gottlieb or Maples and Calder and any other person solely by
reason of such other person making an investment in the Access Fund.
Each investor should consult with its own counsel as to the legal and tax
aspects of an investment in the Access Fund and its suitability for such
investor.
Auditor, Administrator
and Custodian
KPMG or another nationally recognized auditing firm will act as
Auditor. An independent third party will act as Administrator and
Custodian.

Potential investors should carefully consider the risks of an investment in
the Access Fund, which include,
but are not limited to, the risks outlined below as well as the detailed
discussion with regard to risks and
conflicts of interest generally applicable to the Underlying Fund set forth
in the Underlying Fund PPM
(attached hereto in Appendix A). All private fund investments involve a risk
of loss of capital. No
assurances can be given that the Underlying Fund or the Access Fund will
achieve their investment
objectives or that Limited Partners will not suffer loss. By making the
Access Fund available, neither the
General Partner, the Investment Manager nor any of their respective
affiliates is providing investment
advice or making any recommendation as to the advisability of an investment
in the Access Fund or the
Underlying Fund. An investment in the Access Fund is highly speculative and
involves certain risks and
conflicts of interest that prospective investors should consider carefully
before subscribing. The following
discusses certain risks and is not exhaustive, and other risks and conflicts
not discussed below may arise in
connection with the management and operation of the Access Fund.
Business and Market Risks. The investments made by the Underlying Fund and
indirectly by the Access
Fund may involve a high degree of business and financial risk that can
result in substantial losses. In
particular, these risks could arise from changes in the financial condition
or prospects of the entity in which
the investment is made, changes in national or international economic and
market conditions, and changes
in laws, regulations, fiscal policies or political conditions of countries
in which investments are made,
including the risks of war and the effects of terrorist attacks. The impact
of such events or other instances
of war or natural disaster, is unclear but could have material adverse
effects on general economic conditions
and market liquidity, resulting in a partial or total loss of capital, and
Investors should not invest unless they
can readily bear the consequences of such loss.
Placement Agents. The Placement Agents, including Raymond James, will
receive, in respect of an
Investor introduced to the Access Fund, a Placement Fee in an amount up to
2.0% of such Investor's
Subscription, directly from such Investor for advisory services. The
Placement Fee may differ among
Placement Agents. In addition, depending upon each such Limited Partner's
assets under management,
among other factors, certain of these Limited Partners may compensate a
EFTA01438887
particular Placement Agent at
higher levels than other such Limited Partners Accordingly, the Placement
Agents and/or their respective
affiliates may receive higher levels of compensation in connection with
investments by some Limited
Partners than they receive in connection with investments by other Limited
Partners. Any such Placement
Fee may be waived or reduced in respect of any particular Investor without
thereby entitling any other
Investor to a similar waiver or reduction. In addition, the Placement Agents
will receive from the
Investment Manager a portion of the Management Fee on an ongoing basis. As
the Placement Agents will
receive ongoing compensation in respect of the Interests, they will have a
conflict of interest in the form of
an additional financial incentive to the Placement Agents and their
respective equity owners and investment
representatives to refer Investors to the Access Fund and in consulting with
Investors as to the purchase of
Interests. Given the existence of the compensation arrangements described
above, the Placement Agents
may benefit financially from referring Investors to the Access Fund rather
than to other products that may
also be appropriate for particular Investors.
In addition, Raymond James will, and other Placement Agents may, also
receive a placement fee or other
fee from Glendower based on the aggregate capital commitment of the Access
Fund to the Underlying Fund,
which would further incentivize the Placement Agents to refer Investors to
the Access Fund. Finally,
Raymond James will, and other Placement Agents may, also receive a placement
or other fee from
Glendower on each referred "direct investor commitment" to the Underlying
Fund. Such fee will result in
Proprietary and Confidential
20
EFTA01438888
GLDUS133 Georgetown University Endowment
Raymond James and the other the Placement Agents having additional conflicts
of interest with respect to
the purchase of Interests by Investors.
Risks Associated with Investing in the Access Fund. The Access Fund is an
investment vehicle being
formed to facilitate the investment of certain categories of investors into
the Underlying Fund. The Access
Fund's sole objective is to invest in the Underlying Fund and, other than
such investment, the Access Fund
is not expected to have any material operations. Substantially all of the
capital contributions to the Access
Fund will be contributed by the Access Fund to the Underlying Fund, and the
Limited Partners will receive
an indirect interest in the Underlying Fund Because the sole purpose of the
Access Fund is to acquire an
interest in the Underlying Fund, all of the risk factors and disclosures of
potential conflicts set forth in the
Underlying Fund PPM will be relevant when considering an investment in the
Access Fund. Therefore,
prospective Investors must also carefully review the Underlying Fund PPM,
including the more detailed
and comprehensive summary of risks related to an investment in the
Underlying Fund.
In addition to the risks and conflicts of interest described in the
Underlying Fund PPM, which generally
apply to the Access Fund and the Interests, Investors should note, among
other things, the Access Fund will
be a newly formed entity (i) that will not be registered under the
Investment Company Act, (ii) that will
issue illiquid securities that are not registered under the Securities Act
or any other laws, (iii) that will not
register under the Exchange Act, (iv) the Interests of which will be subject
to restrictions on transfer and
will have no public market, (v) which will not be permitted to make full or
partial withdrawals from the
Underlying Fund pursuant to the terms of the Underlying Fund's governing
agreement (except in very
limited circumstances) and (vi) with respect to which, investors may lose
the entire amount of their
investment.
In addition, there can be no assurance that the Underlying Fund will realize
its rate of return objectives, will
realize similar returns to past funds or investments sponsored by Glendower
or its affiliates or will return
any investor capital. The returns of the Access Fund will depend almost
entirely on the performance of its
investment in the Underlying Fund and there can be no assurance that the
Underlying Fund will be able to
implement its investment objective and strategy or avoid substantial losses.
Certain ongoing operating
EFTA01438889
expenses of the Access Fund, which will be in addition to those expenses
borne by the Access Fund as an
investor in the Underlying Fund (e.g., carried interest, management fees,
Underlying Fund expenses,
organizational expenses and other expenses and liabilities borne by
investors in the Underlying Fund),
generally will be borne by the Access Fund and the Limited Partners,
resulting in Investors in the Access
Fund paying multiple layers of expense that will have a corresponding impact
on the returns to the Limited
Partners. Such additional expenses of the Access Fund will reduce the Access
Fund's performance relative
to the Underlying Fund. Pending investment in the Underlying Fund, the
Access Fund may invest a portion
of its assets in short-term interest bearing accounts which would not meet
the Underlying Fund's overall
return objectives.
Although the Access Fund will be an investor in the Underlying Fund,
investors in the Access Fund will
not themselves be limited partners of the Underlying Fund and will not be
entitled to enforce any rights
against the Underlying Fund or the Glendower GP or any of their affiliates,
assert claims against the
Underlying Fund, Glendower or their affiliates or have any voting rights in
the Underlying Fund. An
investor in the Access Fund will have only those rights provided for in the
Partnership Agreement, and will
not be permitted to attend the annual meeting of investors of the Underlying
Fund. The General Partner is
not the general partner or manager of the Underlying Fund. None of the
Access Fund, the General Partner
or any of their affiliates will take part in the management of the
Underlying Fund or have control over its
management strategies and policies. The Access Fund is subject to the risk
of bad judgment, negligence,
or misconduct of the general partner or manager of the Underlying Fund and
its affiliates. There have been
Proprietary and Confidential
21
EFTA01438890
GLDUS133 Georgetown University Endowment
a number of instances in recent years in which pooled investment vehicles
investing in third-party funds
have incurred substantial losses due to sponsor misconduct. The Partnership
Agreement will provide for
indemnification of the General Partner, the Investment Manager, the
Administrator, the Custodian and
certain of their affiliates and certain other indemnified parties and any
such indemnification (and the
expense thereof) will be in addition to any indemnification granted under
the Underlying Fund constituent
documents. Investors in the Access Fund may be required to return amounts
distributed to them by the
Access Fund to fund the Access Fund's and/or the Underlying Fund's indemnity
obligations and other
liabilities as well as amounts recalled by the Underlying Fund for
reinvestment in accordance with the
Underlying Fund LPA, subject to certain exceptions and restrictions set
forth in the Partnership Agreement.
In addition, capital contributions to fund the Access Fund's indemnity
obligations are outside of a Limited
Partner's Subscription. Investors in the Access Fund may receive in-kind
distributions to the extent the
Underlying Fund distributes securities in-kind to its investors and the
securities or other assets so received
in an in-kind distribution may not be marketable or otherwise freely
tradable. With respect to any such
securities or other assets distributed in-kind, the risk of loss and delay
in liquidating these securities or
assets will be borne by the Limited Partners of the Access Fund, with the
result that such Limited Partners
may receive less cash than reflected in the fair value of such securities as
determined by the General Partner
pursuant to the Partnership Agreement.
By making the Access Fund available, neither the General Partner, the
Investment Manager nor any of their
affiliates is providing investment advice or making any recommendation as to
the advisability of an
investment in the Access Fund or the Underlying Fund. None of the General
Partner, the Investment
Manager, nor any of their respective affiliates and personnel are required
to devote all or any specified
portion of their time to managing the Access Fund's affairs, or from
engaging in any other business
activities, whether or not competitive with the Access Fund. Each
prospective investor in the Access
Fund should consult with its own counsel and advisors as to all legal, tax,
financial and related risks
and conflicts concerning an investment in the Access Fund.
The General Partner cannot currently predict the timing and amounts of the
capital contributions that will
