PARTNERS GROUP PRIVATE EQUITY (TEI), LLC

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned hereby tenders to Partners Group Private Equity (TEI), LLC, a closed‑end, non‑diversified management investment company organized as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Fund”), some or all of the limited liability company units in the Fund (the “Units”) held by the undersigned, described and specified below, on the terms and conditions set out in the Offer to Purchase, dated December 28, 2015 (the “Offer”), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in this Letter of Transmittal. THE OFFER AND THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL ARE SUBJECT TO ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT IN THE OFFER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT OF THE FUND TO REJECT ANY AND ALL TENDERS DETERMINED BY IT, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, NOT TO BE IN THE APPROPRIATE FORM.

The undersigned hereby sells to the Fund the Units tendered pursuant to this Letter of Transmittal. The undersigned warrants that it has full authority to sell the Units tendered hereby and that the Fund will acquire good title to the Units, free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other obligations relating to this sale, and not subject to any adverse claim, when and to the extent the Units are purchased by the Fund. Upon request, the undersigned will execute and deliver any additional documents necessary to complete the sale in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

The undersigned recognizes that under certain circumstances set out in the Offer, the Fund may not be required to purchase the Units tendered hereby.

A promissory note (the “Note”) for the value of the purchased Units will be held by UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMBFS”) on behalf of the undersigned. Upon written request by the undersigned to UMBFS, UMBFS will mail the Note to the undersigned at the address of the undersigned as maintained in the books and records of the Fund. The initial payment of the purchase amount for the Units tendered by the undersigned will be made by wire transfer of the funds to an account designated by the undersigned in this Letter of Transmittal.

The Note will also reflect the “Post‑Audit Payment” portion of the purchase amount, if any, as described in Section 7 of the Offer. Any Post‑Audit Payment of cash due pursuant to the Note will also be made by wire transfer of the funds to the undersigned’s account as provided herein. The undersigned recognizes that the amount of the initial payment of the purchase amount for Units will be based on the unaudited value of the Fund as of March 31, 2016, subject to an extension of the Offer as described in Section 8 of the Offer. The Post-Audit Payment will be payable promptly after the completion of the Fund’s next annual audit. It is anticipated that the annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements will be completed no later than 60 days after the fiscal year-end of the Fund.

All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal will survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and the obligation of the undersigned hereunder will be binding on the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned. Except as stated in Section 6 of the Offer, this tender is irrevocable.
