A Professional Investor is an investor who possesses the experience, knowledge and expertise to make its own investment decisions and properly assess the risks that it incurs. In order to be considered a Professional Investor, the investor must fall in one of the following categories:

☐

(i) entities which are required to be authorized or regulated to operate in the financial markets. The following should be understood as including all authorized entities carrying out the characteristic activities of the entities mentioned: entities authorized by a Member State of the European Union under a Directive of the European Union, entities authorized or regulated by such Member State without reference to such Directive, and entities authorized or regulated by a non-Member State: (A) credit institutions; (B) investment firms; (C) other authorized or regulated financial institutions1; (D) insurance companies; (E) collective investment schemes and management companies of such schemes; (F) pension funds and management companies of such funds; (G) commodity and commodity derivatives dealers; (H) locals; or (I) other institutional investors;

☐	(ii) large undertakings meeting two of the following size requirements on a company basis: (A) balance sheet total: EUR 20 000 000; (B) net turnover: EUR 40 000 000; or (C) own funds: EUR 2 000 0002;

☐	(iii) national and regional governments, public bodies that manage public debt at national or regional level, Central Banks, international and supranational institutions such as the World Bank, the IMF, the ECB, the EIB and other similar international organizations;

☐	(iv) other institutional investors whose main activity is to invest in financial instruments, including entities dedicated to the securitization of assets or other financing transactions3;

☐	(v) a European municipality or a local public authority that meets the criteria to be a Professional Investor in accordance with the laws of the Member State of the European Union in which it is established (which at a minimum, shall be the criteria set out in (vi) below).

☐

(vi) other investors, including public sector bodies, private individual investors and non-European municipalities or local public universities, provided, as a minimum, that two of the following criteria are satisfied: (A) the investor has carried out transactions, in significant size4, on the relevant market at an average frequency of 10 per quarter over the previous four quarters; (B) the size of the investor’s financial instrument portfolio, defined as including cash deposits and financial instruments exceeds EUR 500 000; or (C) the investor works or has worked in the financial sector for at least one year in a professional position, which requires knowledge of the transactions or services envisaged.

☐	None of the above (i.e., you are not a Professional Investor within the meaning of MiFID).

1	“Authorized” means the entity is subject to a licensing, approval or authorization process before carrying on the relevant financial-markets activities.

“Regulated” means the entity is subject to mandatory rules of conduct (however general or limited such rules are) and is subject to some form of supervision for compliance with such rules (e.g. whether through ongoing supervision or through disciplinary action for non-compliance).

2	“Balance sheet total” is defined in Article 12(3) of the Fourth Company Law Directive (78/660/EEC), and means the aggregate of the amounts shown as assets in the balance sheet (before deducting both current and long-term liabilities).

“Net turnover” is defined in Article 28 of the Fourth Company Law Directive (78/660/EEC). This definition corresponds to the “turnover” line in the accounts of a UK company.

“Own funds” are defined in Articles 56 to 67 of the recast Banking Consolidation Directive (2006/48/EC), and correspond to the term “capital and reserves”.

3	An investor’s main activity will be to invest in financial instruments where, throughout the period in which the investor has been carrying out its present function, such investment activity has outweighed its other activities in terms of frequency and/or value of transactions.

4	To be significant in size, the transactions must have been reasonably material relative to the overall relevant market. The “relevant market” is a market for the same or similar or related investments.

a. Acknowledgement of Offering Information. You have read and fully understand the Memorandum, the Fund Agreement, this Subscription Agreement and the Disqualified Person Disclosure, including without limitation the default provisions, if any, of the Fund Agreement and this Subscription Agreement. You have received adequate information concerning all matters which you consider material to a decision to purchase the Fund Interests. You have been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, GS and the Manager, concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and other matters pertaining to your investment in the Fund Interests, and you have been given the opportunity to obtain such additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information contained in the Memorandum. You have not been furnished with any offering literature or prospectus except the Memorandum or except as mentioned in this paragraph, and you have only received the Memorandum and the Fund Agreement from a person with whom you have a substantive pre-existing relationship (i.e., this person is aware of your financial experience and sophistication, and your ability to evaluate the merits and risks of the proposed investment in the Fund). You understand that this Subscription Agreement does not constitute an offer by the Fund, the Manager or GS to sell a Fund Interest to you. No representations or agreements other than those set forth in the Memorandum have been made to you in respect thereto. You represent and warrant that you are capable of evaluating investment risks independently, including with regard to transactions and investment strategies involving Fund Interests, and have exercised independent judgment (and have relied solely upon the Memorandum, the advice of your tax, legal or other advisers and independent investigations made by you) in purchasing the Fund Interests. You are not relying on GS, the Manager, the Fund, any placement agent or the references to any legal opinion in the Memorandum with respect to individual, partnership or corporate tax and other economic considerations involved in this investment. You understand that counsel to the Fund may also serve as counsel to the Manager and its affiliates. You understand that in connection with the offering of Fund Interests and subsequent advice to the Fund (including transactions or litigation involving the Fund), counsel to the Fund will not be representing investors in the Fund, including you, and no independent counsel has been retained by the Fund to represent the investors in the Fund.

b. No Registration under Securities Laws. You understand and acknowledge that the Fund Interests have not been registered and will not be registered under the Securities Act, securities laws of any state or territory of the United States, or applicable laws of any non-US jurisdiction and that this subscription, the Fund Interests offered, and the offering have not been approved, disapproved or passed on by any US federal or state regulatory agency or commission, securities or commodities exchange or non-US regulatory agency or other self-regulatory organization. This subscription is being made privately by the Fund pursuant to the private placement exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D or Regulation S thereunder (as applicable). You understand that the Fund will not register as an Investment Company under the Investment Company Act and instead will elect to be regulated as a “business development company” under the Investment Company Act.

c. Restrictions on Holding of Fund Interests. The Fund Interests subscribed for will be acquired by you solely for your account as principal, solely for investment, and are not being purchased for subdivision, resale or distribution, or for the direct or indirect account or benefit of any other person or entity. You have no existing or contemplated agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, exchange, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Fund Interests. You will not sell, exchange, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Fund Interests or any portion thereof without (1) compliance with the Fund Agreement, (2) registration under the Securities Act and applicable state laws (or an exemption therefrom supported by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Fund to the effect that registration is not required), and (3) the prior written consent of the Fund or the Manager; provided that the foregoing shall be expressly subject to and shall not apply to your Fund Interests to the extent that they are inconsistent with the transfer provisions of the Fund Agreement or the Side Letter. You understand that you must solely bear the economic risk of any of your investments in the Fund for an indefinite period of time because the Fund Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws. You understand that the Fund has no obligation to, and does not intend to, register the Fund Interests on your behalf or to assist you in complying with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act or under any other applicable securities laws.

d. Financial Sophistication; Ability to Bear Risk. You have such knowledge and experience in financial and investment matters, and in illiquid investments in particular, and in other business matters that you are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Fund Interests without the assistance of a Purchaser Representative (as such term is defined in the Securities Act). Your financial condition is such that you have no need for liquidity with respect to your investment in the Fund Interests and no need to dispose of the Fund Interests to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness. Your overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is proportionate to your net worth and will not become excessive as a result of an investment in the Fund. You have numerous investment opportunities available to you, you are not required or obligated in any way to make an investment in the Fund Interests, and you have chosen to invest in the Fund Interests over or in addition to such other investment opportunities. You can bear a complete loss of your investment in the Fund, and such a loss would not materially adversely affect your capital needs.

e. Nature of Fund Interests. You acknowledge, understand and agree that: (1) the Fund Interests are speculative investments which involve a high degree of risk of loss; (2) no government agency has passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the information in the Memorandum or made any determination as to the fairness of the investment, or any recommendation or endorsement of the investment; (3) you are not dependent upon a current cash return with respect to your investment in the Fund; (4) transfer of the Fund Interests is subject to substantial restrictions; (5) you may not enter into a swap, structured note or other derivative instrument, the return from which is based in whole or in part on the return of the Fund, with any third party without the Fund’s prior written consent; (6) neither the Manager nor any person acting on the Fund’s behalf offered to sell you the Fund Interests by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising, such as media advertising or public seminars; (7) the Fund will have significant transaction and other costs, regardless of whether it realizes profits; (8) there are risks and potential conflicts of interest involved in the structure and operation of the Fund as described in the Memorandum; and (9) past results of the Fund or its investment manager are not indicative of future results or profits, and no representations to the contrary have been made. Subject to the valuation procedures described in the Memorandum and the Fund Agreement, the Manager shall retain the right to value any asset or position in the Fund in its sole discretion.

f. Financial Qualifications of US Persons; Certain Entities Formed On or Before April 30, 1996. If you are a US Person subscribing to a Fund exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act pursuant to Section 3(c)(7) thereof, you are an Accredited Investor and a Qualified Purchaser. You represent that your beneficial owners did not and will not contribute additional capital (other than previously committed capital) for the purpose of purchasing the Fund Interests.

If you or any entity through which any of your Indirect Shareholders invest in you were formed on or before April 30, 1996 and you rely on Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act to avoid registration as an Investment Company, you hereby represent and warrant that (i) all of your beneficial owners who acquired their interest in you on or before April 30, 1996, and (ii) all Indirect Shareholders who acquired their interest in the entity through which they invest in you on or before April 30, 1996, have consented to your treatment as a Qualified Purchaser.

g. Transactions with GS.

(i) You understand and agree that the Manager, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, may allow the Fund and, if applicable, any investment funds or vehicles in which the Fund invests, to enter into, consent to and perform transactions in which affiliates of the Manager, including GS, act as principal or agent. Such transactions may include, but are not limited to, (1) any cross transaction in which the Manager causes the Fund or any investment fund or vehicle in which the Fund invests to buy a security from, or sell a security to another client of the Manager or its affiliates and any agency cross transaction in which GS acts as a broker for both the Fund or such underlying fund or vehicle and a brokerage account on the other side of the transaction in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and in which GS may receive compensation, commissions, or other payments from either or both parties and, with respect to cross transactions and agency cross transactions, GS may have a potentially conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities among such parties; (2) any principal transaction in which the Fund or any investment fund or vehicle in which the Fund invests purchases property (including, without limitation, securities) from or sells property (including, without limitation, securities) to GS; (3) any principal transaction in which GS acts as counterparty with or to the Fund or any investment fund or vehicle in which the Fund invests in respect of currency, hedging or derivative financial instruments (including but not limited to swaps and forwards of all types); or (4) any sale of securities for the account of the Fund or any investment fund or vehicle in which the Fund invests by GS, including where such securities are bunched or aggregated with orders for other accounts of GS and such aggregation prevents achievement of the same price or execution on the entire lot, which may be disadvantageous to the Fund or such underlying fund or vehicle. The foregoing shall not apply to the extent such conflicts are not disclosed in the Memorandum. You understand that the foregoing authorization and consent to principal transactions, cross transactions and agency cross transactions may be revoked by you in the manner set forth in the Fund Agreement or Memorandum, or in such other manner as the Fund or the Manager notifies you from time to time.

(ii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, in respect of matters described in the next sentence in which the Fund may engage and which may require approval on behalf of the Fund or with respect to which the Manager determines to seek approval, you hereby authorize the Fund and/or the Manager without limitation, to (1) consider and approve or disapprove such transactions and other matters on behalf of the Fund and its investors, or (2) select certain Members, or beneficial owners of Fund Interests or one or more persons who are not affiliated with the Manager and/or GS, to serve on a committee, the purpose of which will be to consider and approve or disapprove any such transactions and other matters on behalf of the Fund that are presented to such committee by the Manager in its sole discretion. Such transactions or other matters may include the following, but in any event only with respect to any particular transaction or other matter that the Manager determines in its sole discretion to either, in the case of (1) above, consider, or in the case of (2) above, present to the committee: (a) any transaction in which the Fund proposes to purchase or sell securities and which, as a result of participation (directly or indirectly) by GS in respect of such transaction, requires consent under the Investment Advisers Act, (b) any fee paid to GS in respect of a transaction in which the Fund proposes to be an investor and which, as a result of the participation by GS, requires consent under the Investment Advisers Act, (c) any other transaction or matter for which prior consent or other consent may be required under the Investment Advisers Act, and (d) any other transaction or matter which the Manager determines to consider itself or present to the committee, which may include, without limitation, transactions involving possible conflicts of interest. For the avoidance of doubt, the Manager will be under no obligation to form any such committee or present any particular matter to any such committee, and the determination to set up a committee or to present any matter for consideration to the committee will in each case be made by the Manager in its sole discretion.

This means that required disclosures by the investment manager (e.g., those in its Form ADV) are made to the Fund, not to the Members, and that any necessary consents (e.g., to transactions in which the investment manager’s affiliates act as principal or as a broker) may be given by the Manager on behalf of the Fund and its Members.

(iv) You acknowledge that you have read and understand the “Potential Conflicts of Interest” or similar disclosure set forth in the Memorandum.

You will also indemnify the Indemnified Parties against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any of them may become subject in connection with any such matter or in connection with your failure to provide true and correct information or to otherwise comply with the provisions of paragraph 3 above.

You are required to, and your obligations under the foregoing paragraph 8 specifically include an obligation to, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any tax, interest, additions to tax, penalties, and reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements, together with interest on the foregoing amounts at the rate prescribed by the Fund Agreement for such amounts (unless no rate is prescribed, in which case the rate will be equal to 5% over the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate on three-month Dollar deposits), computed from the date of payment by the Manager through the date of reimbursement to the Manager, arising from the Manager’s failure to withhold and pay over to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (or any other governmental or regulatory authority in any jurisdiction) any amounts computed, as required by law, with respect to the income or gains allocated to you, amounts distributed to you, or amounts rebated by the Manager to you (each with respect to your Fund Interest during the period from your acquisition of your Fund Interest until your transfer or redemption of such Fund Interest in accordance with the Fund Agreement); provided that no Indemnified Party will be entitled to indemnification in respect of penalties, interest on penalties and professional fees and disbursements incurred as a result of the gross negligence, willful malfeasance, bad faith or criminal wrongdoing of such Indemnified Party. In addition, in connection with any investment in a Fund treated as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes, you agree to, as applicable, (i) reimburse the Fund for any taxes paid by the Fund in respect of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is properly allocable to you under the Fund Agreement, (ii) reflect in your United States federal income tax return(s) for the applicable year your allocable share of the Fund’s partnership-related items as reported on an adjusted Schedule K-1 furnished by the Fund pursuant to the Fund election under Section 6226 of the IRS Code, in each case regardless of whether you continue to be an investor in the Fund at the time such taxes are paid or an adjusted Schedule K-1 is provided or (iii) take such actions (including (a) withholding and paying over to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service any required withholding taxes, (b) providing to any transferee and each Fund, and/or filing with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, any forms and certifications, and (c) if you are the transferee of an Interest, providing to the Fund, certifying to the Fund and/or filing with the IRS U.S. Internal Revenue Service, as applicable, any forms and certifications) to the extent available and necessary to eliminate such Fund’s liability under Section 1446(f) of the IRS Code and administrative guidance thereunder (and any similar provision of state or local law). Your obligation hereunder will survive any transfer, redemption or withdrawal of your Fund Interest and any dissolution or termination of the Fund. In addition to any other remedies the persons and entities indemnified hereunder may have, any amount payable by you hereby may be offset against amounts payable by the Fund to you.

To the extent that any report or information relating to the Fund received by you contains details of any investment positions, trading strategies or techniques of the Fund or the investment processes of the Manager, you shall not, and shall cause each person to whom you have disclosed information relating to the Fund pursuant to paragraph 11 not to, use such information as a basis for effecting or replicating any transactions, or for any purpose other than for your analysis of the performance of the Manager and/or the Fund, of the Fund’s compatibility with other investments you may hold, or for any other similar purpose for which you have specifically requested, and obtained, the written agreement of the Manager. Without limiting the foregoing, you represent and warrant that you have proper protocols in place, or will adopt such protocols, to ensure that information relating to the Fund will be protected against dissemination to other entities, or other groups, divisions and/or persons within your organization, including, but not limited to, persons that are involved in portfolio management decisions or any other entity, group, division and/or person within your organization that may use information relating to the Fund in a manner other than for purposes of managing the investment in the Fund.

You agree to promptly notify the Fund if a Disqualifying Event occurs with respect to you or any person that directly or indirectly has voting or dispositive power over your interest in the Fund. You further agree that if any Disqualifying Event occurs or has occurred with respect to you or any person that directly or indirectly will have voting or dispositive power over your interest in the Fund on or after September 23, 2013, if you or any person that directly or indirectly will have voting power over your interest in the Fund would otherwise have the right to vote more than 20% of the Fund’s outstanding voting equity securities (calculated on the basis of voting power), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Fund Agreement, the voting rights with respect to the Fund held by you or any person that directly or indirectly will have voting power over your interest in the Fund will be limited to 19.9% of the Fund’s outstanding voting equity securities (calculated on the basis of voting power) unless and until the Fund determines otherwise in its sole discretion. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of a Disqualifying Event with respect to you or any person that directly or indirectly has voting or dispositive power over your interest in the Fund, the Manager and the Fund may, in their sole discretion, take any action they determine necessary or advisable in connection with compliance with applicable regulations, including, without limitation, redeeming all or a portion of your Fund Interest in accordance with the Fund Agreement, or, if applicable, treating you as a defaulting Member of such Fund and imposing any or all of the penalties applicable to a defaulting Member, in each case, in accordance with, and to the extent set forth in the Fund Agreement.

a. This Subscription Agreement, and the representations, warranties, agreements and other provisions contained herein, (1) shall be binding upon your heirs, executors, administrators and other successors; (2) shall survive your admission as a Member of the Fund; and (3) may be executed through the use of separate signature pages or in any number of counterparts (whether by original signature or photocopy or facsimile copy thereof), and all counterparts shall for all purposes constitute one agreement binding on all parties.

b. None of these Subscription Agreement Terms and Conditions or the Fund Agreement terms and conditions (if applicable based on the Fund to which you have subscribed) may be supplemented, modified or amended by you except by written instrument signed by you and a duly authorized representative of GS. You agree that such a written instrument may be in the form of a written communication between you and a duly authorized representative of GS, such as an electronic communication, which shall become effective only upon acceptance by GS. You further agree that you will not contest the legally binding nature, validity or enforceability of any written instrument, communication or agreement in connection with your investment in the Fund based on the fact that the terms were accepted electronically. Any such written instrument, communication or agreement entered into electronically will be deemed to be “in writing” and to have been “signed” by you with the same effect as a manual signature (and any electronic record of such agreements entered into online will be deemed to be “in writing”).

c. The provisions of this Subscription Agreement are severable. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement is adjudged by any Adjudicating Body (as defined below) to not be enforceable in accordance with its terms, then such Adjudicating Body will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives and/or to delete specific words or phrases, so that in its amended form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced. An “Adjudicating Body” must have competent jurisdiction and means any court, legislature, agency, department, office, magistrate, justice, or other similarly recognized organization or body of any federal, state or local government, whether US or non-US, or any arbitrator.

d. Subject to the terms of the Fund Agreement and the Memorandum, you consent to receiving or to having received, to the extent permitted by applicable law, electronic delivery of all Fund Communications (as defined below). Your consent to electronic delivery is effective immediately and extends to all Fund Communications (including any Fund Communication received prior to the date of your execution of this Subscription Agreement); however, certain Fund Communications may not be available for electronic delivery at this time. The Manager or GS will notify you in advance when new types of Fund Communications become available for electronic delivery. You may revoke or suspend your consent to electronic delivery or request paper copies of Fund Communications that you are entitled to receive at any time by contacting GS. Your consent will remain in effect unless and until either you, the Fund, the Manager or GS revoke it.

For purposes of this paragraph 16, “Fund Communications” includes each Memorandum, Performance Report or other Additional Information, Fund Document Update Notice (as defined below) and other information, notices, reports and documents delivered or provided to you by the Fund, the Manager, GS or other parties in connection with any current or future investment in the Fund.

You hereby agree that any physical or electronic communications by the Fund, the Manager, GS or otherwise to you in connection with your investment in the Fund may be delivered to the mailing or electronic address of record provided in Section I of this Subscription Agreement. You agree to notify GS immediately of any change in your physical or electronic address. Until GS has received and had a reasonable time to act on any notice of a change, GS may continue to send Fund Communications to your previous physical or electronic address and any such Fund Communications will be deemed to have been delivered to you, whether or not you have actually received them.

If an e-mail notification sent to you at your electronic address of record is returned as undeliverable or GS otherwise receives evidence of an invalid e-mail address through a return e-mail, GS will attempt to contact you to obtain a valid e-mail address. In the interim, Fund Communications (or notices of such communications) may be delivered to your physical address of record in accordance with GS’s procedures. If GS is unable to obtain a valid e-mail address, Fund Communications will be delivered to your physical address until you verify your e-mail address.

You agree that all Fund Communications delivered to you in any of the ways described in this paragraph 16 will constitute good and effective delivery of the information to you when sent or posted by the Fund, the Manager or GS, regardless of whether you actually or timely receive or access the Fund Communications.

e.

You hereby agree that you are subject to such disclosures, information, terms and conditions, and acknowledge that all amendments, updates, and supplements are available to you upon request to the Manager. You hereby further agree that, if you are making an additional subscription to a Fund in which you already hold Fund Interests, the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply equally to all of your Fund Interests, regardless of the date of acquisition of such Fund Interests.

Subject to the terms of the Fund Agreement and the Memorandum, if the Fund determines or is required to notify you of, or to obtain your consent for, any Fund Document Update, you consent to receiving any such Fund Document Update, as determined by the Fund, (i) by physical or electronic transmission of such Fund Document Update to you, (ii) by notice to you that such Fund Document Update is available as an electronic posting, or (iii) by notice to you that such Fund Document Update is available upon your request in hard copy or electronic copy (each, a “Fund Document Update Notice”), and you hereby agree that any such Fund Document Update Notice will constitute effective delivery of the notice of such Fund Document Update to you for all purposes under the Fund Agreement, regardless of whether you actually receive, access or request the Fund Document Update.

You undertake to promptly update this information to the Manager to reflect any changes.

a. The Plan is not a participant-directed defined contribution Plan.

Such factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the role such investment or investment course of action plays in the Plan’s portfolio; (2) whether the investment or investment course of action is reasonably designed to further the purposes of the Plan, taking into account both the risk of loss and the opportunity for gain that could result therefrom; (3) the composition of the Plan’s portfolio with regard to diversification; (4) the liquidity and current rate of return of the Plan’s portfolio relative to the anticipated cash flow requirements of the Plan; (5) the projected return of the Plan’s portfolio relative to the funding objectives of the Plan; and (6) the risks associated with an investment in the Fund.

f. Neither the Manager nor any of its affiliates (including, without limitation, GS) has acted as a fiduciary under ERISA with respect to the purchase, holding or disposition of the Fund Interest. No advice provided by the Manager or any of its affiliates (including, without limitation, GS) has formed a basis for any investment decision by the Plan in connection with such purchase, holding or disposition.

g. The Fiduciary has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Fund, and from time to time hereafter will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Fund, in writing, all of the information which the Manager may request in order to avoid violations of any provision of ERISA or any other laws applicable to the Plan, and will notify the Manager promptly, in writing, of any change in the information so furnished.

IV. Subscription Agreement Terms and Conditions

5. On May 28, 2021, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“GSG”) received an individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA and the IRS Code from the U.S. Department of Labor (the “Exemption”). The Exemption allows GSG’s affiliates to continue to use Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 84-14 (the “QPAM Exemption”) despite a criminal conviction that violates Section I(g) of the QPAM Exemption. The Exemption was necessitated by a conviction of a Malaysian affiliate of GSG. The conduct at issue did not involve asset management or any asset management affiliate of GSG. Under the Exemption, the Manager is required to provide each Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRS Code (“ERISA/IRC Investor”) investing in a Fund whose assets are “plan assets” subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRS Code with copies of (i) the Exemption, (ii) a statement that the conviction results in a failure to meet a condition of the QPAM Exemption (the “Statement”), (iii) a summary of facts that led to the conviction (the “Summary”), (iv) a notice of the Manager’s obligations under Section I(j) of the Exemption (the “Exemption Obligations”), and (v) a notice that a summary of the Manager’s policies under the Exemption is available upon request (the “Notice”). Appendix I herein contains the Exemption, the Statement, the Summary, the Exemption Obligations and the Notice.
