To the Members of
FEG Absolute Access TEI Fund LLC:
 
FEG Absolute Access TEI Fund LLC, a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company organized as a Delaware limited liability company (the “Fund”), is offering to purchase for cash on the terms and conditions set out in this offer to purchase (this “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with this Offer to Purchase, constitutes the “Offer”) an amount of Interests (as defined below) or portions of Interests up to approximately 25.00% of the net assets of the Fund.  The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the FEG Absolute Access TEI Fund LDC (the “Offshore Fund”), a Cayman Islands limited duration company with the same investment objective as the Fund.  The Offshore Fund in turn invests all or substantially all of its assets in FEG Absolute Access Fund LLC (“FEG Absolute Access Fund”), a Delaware limited liability company registered under the Investment Company Act as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company.  FEG Absolute Access Fund and the Offshore Fund have the same investment objective as the Fund.  The Offshore Fund serves solely as an intermediate entity through which the Fund invests in FEG Absolute Access Fund.  The Offshore Fund makes no independent investment decisions and has no investment or other discretion over the Fund’s investable assets.  The investment manager of the FEG Absolute Access Fund is FEG Investors, LLC (the “Adviser”).  The Offer is being made pursuant to tenders by members of the Fund (“Members”) at a price equal to the net asset value of the tendered Interests as of December 31, 2012 (or at a later date determined by the Fund if the Offer is extended) (in each case, the “Repurchase Date”).  As used in the Offer, the term “Interest” or “Interests” refers to the limited liability company interests in the Fund representing beneficial interests in the Fund, and includes all or any portion of a Member’s Interest as the context requires.  Members that desire to tender an Interest for purchase must do so by 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time on September 27, 2012 (the “Initial Notice Due Date”), subject to any extension of the Offer made in the absolute discretion of the Fund’s Board of Directors.  The later of the Initial Notice Due Date or the latest time and date that the Fund designates as the deadline for Members to tender an Interest for purchase is called the “Notice Due Date” and is the date upon which the Offer expires.  If the Fund elects to extend the tender period, the net asset value of the Interests tendered for purchase will be determined at the close of business on a day determined by the Fund and notified to the Members.  The Offer is being made to all Members and is not conditioned on any minimum amount of Interests being tendered, but is subject to certain conditions described below.  Interests are not traded on any established trading market
 
 
 

 
 
and are subject to strict restrictions on transferability pursuant to the Fund’s Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement dated as of February 8, 2011 (as it may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “LLC Agreement”).
 
Members should realize that the value of the Interests tendered in the Offer likely will change between June 30, 2012 (the last time net asset value was calculated) and the Repurchase Date when the value of the Interests tendered to the Fund for purchase will be determined.  Members tendering their Interest should also note that they will remain Members in the Fund, with respect to the Interest tendered and accepted for purchase by the Fund, through the Repurchase Date, when the net asset value of their Interest is calculated.  Any tendering Members that wish to obtain the estimated net asset value of their Interests should contact the Tender Offer Administrator at UMB Fund Services, Inc., the Fund’s Administrator, at (610) 361-3051 or at FEG Absolute Access TEI Fund LLC, c/o UMB Fund Services, Inc. at 803 W. Michigan Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53233, Attention:  Tender Offer Administrator, Monday through Friday, except holidays, during normal business hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).
 
Members desiring to tender all or any portion of their Interest in accordance with the terms of the Offer should complete and sign the enclosed Letter of Transmittal and send or deliver it to UMB Fund Services, Inc. in the manner set out below.
 
Important
 
None of the Fund, the Adviser, or the Fund’s Board of Directors makes any recommendation to any Member whether to tender or refrain from tendering Interests.  Members must make their own decisions whether to tender Interests, and, if they choose to do so, the portion of their Interests to tender.
 
Because each Member’s investment decision is a personal one, based on financial circumstances, no person has been authorized to make any recommendation on behalf of the Fund as to whether Members should tender Interests pursuant to the Offer.  No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations in connection with the Offer other than those contained herein or in the Letter of Transmittal.  If given or made, such recommendation and such information and representations must not be relied on as having been authorized by the Fund, the Fund’s Adviser, or its Board of Directors.
 
This transaction has not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission nor has the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission passed on the fairness or merits of such transaction or on the accuracy or adequacy of the information contained in this document.  Any representation to the contrary is unlawful.

SUMMARY TERM SHEET
 
This Summary Term Sheet highlights certain information concerning the Offer.  To understand the Offer fully and for a more complete discussion of the terms and conditions of the Offer, please read carefully this entire Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal.  Section references are to this Offer to Purchase.
 
·
The Fund (referred to as “we” or the “Fund” in this Summary Term Sheet) is offering to purchase Interests in an amount up to approximately 25.00% of the net assets of the Fund.  We will purchase your Interests at their net asset value (that is, the value of the Fund’s total assets minus its total liabilities, including accrued fees and expenses, multiplied by the proportionate interest in the Fund you desire to tender, after giving effect to all allocations) calculated as of the Repurchase Date.  The net asset value of Interests will be calculated for this purpose as of December 31, 2012 or, if the Offer is extended, as of any later Repurchase Date.  The Offer will remain open until 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on September 27, 2012 (or if the Offer is extended, until any later Notice Due Date), at which time the Offer is scheduled to expire.
 
·
The Fund reserves the right to adjust the Repurchase Date to correspond with any extension of the Offer.  The Fund will review the net asset value calculation of the Interests during the Fund’s audit for the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2013, which the Fund expects will be completed within 60 days of the fiscal year-end, and that net asset value will be used to determine the final amount paid for tendered Interests.  Because the Fund’s current fiscal year will end on March 31, 2013, the Fund expects that the audit will be completed by the end of May 2013.
 
·
A Member may tender its entire Interest or a portion of its Interest; however, a Member who tenders only a portion of its Interest shall be required to maintain a capital account balance at least equal to $250,000. See Section 4.
 
·
For Members tendering all of their Interests in the Fund, Interests will be valued for purposes of determining their repurchase price as of the Repurchase Date.  The amount that a Member who is tendering all of its Interest in the Fund may expect to receive on the repurchase of such Member’s Interest will be the value of the Member’s capital account determined on the Repurchase Date, and the Fund will generally not make any adjustments for final valuations based on adjustments received from the Portfolio Funds.  Members who tender a portion of their Interest in the Fund (defined as a specific dollar value in their repurchase request), and which portion is accepted for repurchase by the Fund, will receive such specified dollar amount.
 
·
Within five days of the Notice Due Date, each Member whose Interest has been accepted for repurchase will be given a non-interest bearing, non-transferable promissory note by the Fund entitling the Member to be paid an amount equal to 100% of the unaudited net asset value of such Member’s capital account (or portion thereof) being repurchased, determined as of the Repurchase Date (after giving effect to all allocations to be made as of that date to such Member’s capital account).  The note will entitle the Member to be paid within 30 days after the Repurchase Date, or ten business days after the Fund has received at least 90% of the aggregate amount withdrawn by the Fund from the Portfolio Funds (through the Fund’s investment in FEG Absolute Access Fund (via the Offshore Fund)), whichever is later (either such date, a “Payment Date”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Member has requested the repurchase of 90% or more of the Interest held by such Member, such Member shall receive (i) a non-interest bearing, non-transferable promissory note, which need not bear interest, in an amount equal to 90% of the estimated unaudited net asset value of such Member’s capital account (or portion thereof) being repurchased, determined as of the Repurchase Date (after giving effect to all allocations to be made as of that date to such Member’s
 
 
 

 
 
 
capital account) (the “Initial Payment”), which will be paid on or prior to the Payment Date; and (ii) a promissory note entitling the holder thereof to the balance of the proceeds, to be paid within 30 days following the completion of the Fund’s next annual audit (the “Post-Audit Payment”), which is expected to be completed within 60 days after the end of the Fund’s fiscal year.
 
·
In the event that a Member requests a repurchase of a capital account amount that had been contributed to the Fund within 18 months of the date of the most recent repurchase offer, the Board of Directors may require payment of a repurchase fee payable to the Fund in an amount equal to 5% of the repurchase price, which fee is intended to compensate the Fund for expenses related to such repurchase.  Contributions shall be treated on a “first-in, first-out basis.”  Otherwise, the Fund does not intend to impose any charges on the repurchase of Interests.
 
·
If we accept the tender of your Interest, we will pay you the proceeds from one or more of the following sources:  cash on hand, proceeds from the sale of a portion of the Fund’s interest in FEG Absolute Access Fund (via the Offshore Fund), or borrowings.  The purchase amount will be paid entirely in cash.  See Section 7.
 
·
If you desire to tender an Interest for purchase, you must do so by 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on September 27, 2012 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date), at which time the Offer is scheduled to expire.  Until that time, you have the right to withdraw any tenders of your Interest.  Interests withdrawn may be re-tendered, however, provided that such tenders are made before the Notice Due Date by following the tender procedures described herein.  If the Fund has not yet accepted your tender of an Interest on or prior to October 26, 2012 (i.e., the date 40 business days from the commencement of the Offer), you will also have the right to withdraw the tender of your Interest after such date.  See Section 6.
 
·
If you would like us to purchase your Interest, you should complete, sign and either (i) mail  or otherwise deliver the Letter of Transmittal, enclosed with the Offer, to FEG Absolute Access TEI Fund LLC, c/o UMB Fund Services, Inc. at 803 W. Michigan Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53233, Attention: Tender Offer Administrator; or (ii) fax it to UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMBFS”) at (816) 860-3140, Attention: Tender Offer Administrator, so that it is received before 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on September 27, 2012.  See Section 5.  The value of your Interests may change between June 30, 2012 (the last time net asset value was calculated) and the Repurchase Date when the value of the Interests being purchased will be determined.  See Section 3.
 
·
As of June 30, 2012, the net asset value of the Fund was $156,775,701.  If you would like to obtain the estimated net asset value of your Interest, which we calculate from time to time, based upon the information we receive from the managers of the investment funds in which we invest, you may contact the Tender Offer Administrator at UMBFS at (610) 361-3051 or at the address listed on the cover page of the Letter of Transmittal, Monday through Friday, except holidays, during normal business hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).  See Section 3.
 
2.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE OFFER.
 
The purpose of the Offer is to provide liquidity to the Members that hold Interests in the Fund, as contemplated by and in accordance with the procedures set out in the Fund’s registration statement on Form N-2 (as it may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”) and the LLC Agreement.  The Registration Statement and the LLC Agreement provide that the board of directors of the Fund (the “Board of Directors”) has the discretion to determine whether the Fund will purchase Interests from time to time from Members pursuant to written tenders, and that one of the factors the Board of Directors will consider in making such determination is whether FEG Absolute Access
 
 
2

 
 
Fund is making a contemporaneous offer to repurchase interests in FEG Absolute Access Fund.  The Registration Statement also states that the Adviser anticipates recommending to FEG Absolute Access Fund’s board of directors that FEG Absolute Access Fund offer to repurchase FEG Absolute Access Fund interests from Members twice a year.   The Fund registered with the SEC on February 11, 2011 and has previously made two offers to purchase Interests from Members as a registered fund.
 
Because there is no secondary trading market for Interests and transfers of Interests are prohibited without prior approval of the Adviser, the Board of Directors has determined to cause the Fund to make the Offer, after consideration of various matters, including but not limited to those set out in the Registration Statement and the LLC Agreement, including that FEG Absolute Access Fund is making a contemporaneous offer to repurchase interests in FEG Absolute Access Fund.  While the Adviser intends to recommend to FEG Absolute Access Fund’s board of directors that FEG Absolute Access Fund offer to repurchase FEG Absolute Access Fund interests, or portions of them, twice a year, the FEG Absolute Access Fund’s board of directors is under no obligation to follow such recommendations.
 
The purchase of Interests pursuant to the Offer will have the effect of increasing the proportionate interest in the Fund of Members that do not tender Interests.  Members that retain their Interests may be subject to increased risks due to the reduction in the Fund’s aggregate assets resulting from payment for the Interests tendered.  These risks include the potential for greater volatility due to decreased diversification.  The Fund believes, however, that this result is unlikely given the nature of the Fund’s investment program.  A reduction in the aggregate assets of the Fund may result in Members that do not tender Interests bearing higher costs to the extent that certain expenses borne by the Fund are relatively fixed and may not decrease if assets decline.  These effects may be reduced or eliminated to the extent that additional subscriptions for Interests are made by new and existing Members from time to time.  Payment for Interests purchased pursuant to the Offer may also require the Fund to tender a portion of its interest in FEG Absolute Access Fund (via the Offshore Fund).  Such a tender by the Fund could result in the Adviser being required to raise cash to accommodate the tender by liquidating portfolio holdings in  FEG Absolute Access Fund earlier than the Adviser would otherwise have caused these holdings to be liquidated, potentially resulting in losses or increased investment related expenses for FEG Absolute Access Fund.  In addition to its own operating expenses, the Fund bears a pro rata portion of the expenses of FEG Absolute Access Fund and the Offshore Fund.
 
Interests that are tendered to the Fund in connection with the Offer will be retired, although the Fund may issue Interests from time to time in transactions not involving any public offering, conducted pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in accordance with the Registration Statement.  The Fund currently expects that it will accept subscriptions for Interests as of the first day of each month, but is under no obligation to do so, and may do so more frequently as determined by the Board of Directors.
 
The tender of an Interest by a Member will not affect the record ownership of such Member for purposes of voting or entitlement to any distributions payable by the Fund unless and until such Interest is purchased.  You should also realize that although the Offer is scheduled to expire on September 27, 2012 (unless it is extended), you remain a Member of the Fund with respect to the Interest you tendered that is accepted for purchase by the Fund through the Repurchase Date.
 
3.
OFFER TO PURCHASE AND PRICE.
 
The Fund will, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, purchase an amount of Interests up to approximately 25.00% of the net assets of the Fund that are tendered by Members by 12:00
 
 
3

 
 
midnight, Eastern Time, on September 27, 2012 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date), and not withdrawn (as provided in Section 6 below) prior to the Notice Due Date.  The Fund reserves the right to extend, amend, suspend or postpone the Offer as described in Sections 4 and 8 below.  The value of the Interests tendered for purchase will be their value as of December 31, 2012 or, if the Offer is extended, as of any later Repurchase Date, payable as set out in Section 7.  The determination of the value of Interests as of the Repurchase Date is subject to adjustment based upon the results of the next annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements.
 
4.
AMOUNT OF TENDER.
 
Subject to the limitations set out below, a Member may tender its entire Interest or a portion of its Interest; however, a Member who tenders only a portion of its Interest shall be required to maintain a capital account balance at least equal to $250,000.  The Offer is being made to all Members of the Fund and is not conditioned on any minimum amount of Interests being tendered.
 
If the amount of Interests that are properly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn pursuant to Section 6 below is less than or equal to approximately 25.00% of the net assets of the Fund (or such greater amount as the Fund may elect to purchase pursuant to the Offer), the Fund will, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, purchase all of the Interests so tendered unless the Fund elects to suspend, postpone or amend the Offer, as provided in Section 8 below.  If Interests in excess of approximately 25.00% of the net assets of the Fund are duly tendered to the Fund prior to the Notice Due Date and not withdrawn prior to the Notice Due Date pursuant to Section 6 below, the Fund will in its sole discretion either (a) accept the additional Interests permitted to be accepted pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (b) extend the Offer, if necessary, and increase the amount of Interests that the Fund is offering to purchase to an amount it believes sufficient to accommodate the excess Interests tendered as well as any Interests tendered during the extended Offer; or (c) accept Interests tendered prior to the Notice Due Date and not withdrawn prior to the Notice Due Date for payment on a pro rata basis, disregarding fractions, according to the portion of the Interests requested by each Member to be repurchased as of the Notice Due Date.  The Offer may be extended, amended, suspended or postponed in other circumstances described in Section 8 below.
 
5.
PROCEDURE FOR TENDERS.
 
Members wishing to tender Interests pursuant to this Offer to Purchase should send or deliver by September 27, 2012 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date) a completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to UMBFS, to the attention of the Tender Offer Administrator, at the address set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal, or fax a completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to UMBFS, also to the attention of the Tender Offer Administrator, at the fax number set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal.  The completed and executed Letter of Transmittal must be received by UMBFS, either by mail or by fax, no later than 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on September 27, 2012 (or if the Offer is extended, no later than any later Notice Due Date).
 
The Fund recommends that all documents be submitted to UMBFS via certified mail, return receipt requested, or by facsimile transmission.  Members wishing to confirm receipt of a Letter of Transmittal may contact UMBFS at the address or telephone number set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal.  The method of delivery of any documents is at the election and complete risk of the Member tendering an Interest, including, but not limited to, the failure of UMBFS to receive any Letter of Transmittal or other document submitted by facsimile transmission.  All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of tenders will be determined by the Fund, in its sole discretion, and such determination will be final and binding.  The Fund reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders determined by it not to be in appropriate form or the acceptance of or payment for which would, in the
 
 
4

 
 
opinion of counsel for the Fund, be unlawful.  The Fund also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the Offer or any defect in any tender with respect to any particular Interest or any particular Member, and the Fund’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer will be final and binding.  Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders must be cured within such time as the Fund will determine.  Tenders will not be deemed to have been made until the defects or irregularities have been cured or waived.  None of the Fund, the Adviser or the Board of Directors will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders, nor will any of them incur any liability for failure to give such notice.
 
6.
WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS.
 
Until the Notice Due Date, Members have the right to change their minds and withdraw any tenders of their Interests.  Interests withdrawn may be re-tendered, however, provided that such tenders are made before the Notice Date by following the tender procedures described in Section 5.  Pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(2)(ii) of the Exchange Act, if the Fund has not yet accepted a Member’s tender of an Interest on or prior to October 26, 2012 (i.e., the date 40 business days from the commencement of the Offer), a Member will also have the right to withdraw its tender of its Interest after such date.  To be effective, any notice of withdrawal must be timely received by UMBFS at the address or fax number set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal.  All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Fund, in its sole discretion, and such determination will be final and binding.  A tender of Interests properly withdrawn will not thereafter be deemed to be tendered for purposes of the Offer.
 
7.
PURCHASES AND PAYMENT.
 
For purposes of the Offer, the Fund will be deemed to have accepted Interests that are tendered if and when it gives written notice to the tendering Member of its election to purchase such Interest.  As stated in Section 3 above, the amount offered for the Interests tendered by Members will be the value thereof as of December 31, 2012, or if the Offer is extended, as of any later Repurchase Date.  The value will be determined after all allocations to capital accounts of the Members required to be made by the LLC Agreement have been made, including any Repurchase Fee due to the Fund in connection with the repurchase.  The Fund will not pay interest on the purchase amount.
 
For Members tendering all of their Interests in the Fund, Interests will be valued for purposes of determining their repurchase price as of the Repurchase Date.  The amount that a Member who is tendering all of its Interest in the Fund may expect to receive on the repurchase of such Member’s Interest will be the value of the Member’s capital account determined on the Repurchase Date, and the Fund will generally not make any adjustments for final valuations based on adjustments received from the Portfolio Funds.  Members who tender a portion of their Interest in the Fund (defined as a specific dollar value in their repurchase request), and which portion is accepted for repurchase by the Fund, will receive such specified dollar amount.
 
Within five days of the Notice Due Date, each Member whose Interest has been accepted for repurchase will be given a non-interest bearing, non-transferable promissory note by the Fund entitling the Member to be paid an amount equal to 100% of the unaudited net asset value of such Member’s capital account (or portion thereof) being repurchased, determined as of the Repurchase Date (after giving effect to all allocations to be made as of that date to such Member’s capital account).  The note will entitle the Member to be paid within 30 days after the Repurchase Date, or ten business days after the Fund has received at least 90% of the aggregate amount withdrawn by the Fund from the Portfolio Funds (through the Fund’s investment in FEG Absolute Access Fund (via the Offshore Fund)), whichever is later (either such date, a “Payment Date”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Member has requested the repurchase of 90% or more of the Interest held by such Member, such Member shall receive (i) a non-interest bearing, non-transferable
 
 
5

 
 
promissory note, which need not bear interest, in an amount equal to 90% of the estimated unaudited net asset value of such Member’s capital account (or portion thereof) being repurchased, determined as of the Repurchase Date (after giving effect to all allocations to be made as of that date to such Member’s capital account) (the “Initial Payment”), which will be paid on or prior to the Payment Date; and (ii) a promissory note entitling the holder thereof to the balance of the proceeds, to be paid within 30 days following the completion of the Fund’s next annual audit (the “Post-Audit Payment”), which is expected to be completed within 60 days after the end of the Fund’s fiscal year.
 
In the event that a Member requests a repurchase of a capital account amount that had been contributed to the Fund within 18 months of the date of the most recent repurchase offer, the Board of Directors may require payment of a repurchase fee payable to the Fund in an amount equal to 5% of the repurchase price, which fee is intended to compensate the Fund for expenses related to such repurchase.  Contributions shall be treated on a “first-in, first-out basis.”  Otherwise, the Fund does not intend to impose any charges on the repurchase of Interests.
 
The Fund will make payment for Interests it purchases pursuant to the Offer from one or more of the following sources: cash on hand, proceeds from the sale of a portion of the Fund’s interest in FEG Absolute Access Fund (via the Offshore Fund), or borrowings.  Upon its acceptance of tendered Interests for repurchase, the Fund will maintain daily, as an entry on its books, a distinct account consisting of (1) cash or (2) a portion of its interest in FEG Absolute Access Fund (via the Offshore Fund) in an amount equal to the aggregate estimated unpaid dollar amount of any Interests tendered.  None of the Fund, the Board of Directors, or the Adviser have determined at this time to borrow funds to purchase Interests tendered in connection with the Offer.  However, depending on the dollar amount of Interests tendered and prevailing general economic and market conditions, the Fund, in its sole discretion, may decide to fund any portion of the amount offered for the purchase of Interests, subject to compliance with applicable law, through borrowings.  The Fund expects that the repayment of any amounts so borrowed will be financed from additional funds contributed to the Fund by existing and/or new Members or from a tender of a portion of its interest in FEG Absolute Access Fund (via the Offshore Fund).
 
The purchase amount will be paid entirely in cash.
 
8.
CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER.
 
In the absolute discretion of the Board of Directors, the Fund reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to extend the period of time during which the Offer is pending by notifying Members of such extension.  In the event that the Fund elects to extend the tender period, the net asset value of the Interests tendered for purchase will be determined as of the later Repurchase Date.  During any such extension, all Interests previously tendered and not withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer.  The Fund also reserves the right at any time and from time to time up to and including acceptance of tenders pursuant to the Offer:  (a) to suspend or postpone the Offer in the circumstances set out in the following paragraph and in the event of such suspension or postponement not to purchase or pay for any Interests tendered pursuant to the Offer; and (b) to amend the Offer.  If the Fund determines to amend the Offer or to postpone the acceptance of Interests tendered, it will, to the extent necessary, extend the period of time during which the Offer is open as provided above and will promptly notify Members.
 
The Fund may amend, suspend or postpone the Offer under the following circumstances: (i) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to dispose of securities it owns or to determine the value of the Fund’s nets assets; (ii) for any other periods that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits by order for the protection of Members; or (iii) under such other unusual circumstances as the Board of Directors deems advisable for the benefit of the Fund and its Members.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES.
 
The following discussion is a general summary of the federal income tax consequences of the purchase of Interests by the Fund for cash pursuant to the Offer.  Members should consult their own tax advisors for a complete description of the tax consequences to them of a purchase of their Interests by the Fund pursuant to the Offer.
 
A Member who sells all or part of the Member's Interest to the Fund will generally recognize income or gain only to the extent the amount of cash received by the Member exceeds the Member's adjusted tax basis in the Member's entire Interest at that time.  The Member's adjusted tax basis in the Member's Interest will be reduced by the amount of any cash received by the Member from the Fund, and any excess of that cash over that basis will generally constitute capital gain for the Member.  It is possible, however, that Members might recognize some ordinary income by reason of the sale, under certain technical rules that apply to the extent a member disposes of the member's share of "unrealized receivables" of a limited liability company (as defined in Internal Revenue Code section 751).    No loss will be recognized by a Member on such a sale to the Fund, except that a Member who sells the Member's entire Interest to the Fund may

recognize a capital loss at the time of the determination of the Post-Audit Payment to the extent the aggregate cash received, and to be received, by the Member is less than the Member's adjusted tax basis in the Interest.
 
11.
MISCELLANEOUS.
 
The Offer is not being made to, nor will tenders be accepted from, Members in any jurisdiction in which the Offer or its acceptance would not comply with the securities or other laws of such jurisdiction.  The Fund is not aware of any jurisdiction in which the Offer or tenders pursuant thereto would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction.  However, the Fund reserves the right to exclude Members from the Offer in any jurisdiction in which it is asserted that the Offer cannot lawfully be made.  The Fund believes such exclusion is permissible under applicable laws and regulations, provided the Fund makes a good faith effort to comply with any state law deemed applicable to the Offer.
