This Confidential Private Placement Memorandum (as amended, restated or otherwise
modified from time to time (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any appendices
attached hereto), the "Memorandum") is furnished on a confidential basis to a limited
number of prospective investors (each, when admitted as a member, an "Investor") in
AlphaKeys Millennium Fund, L.L.C. (f/k/a/ UBS Millennium Fund, L.L.C.) (the "AlphaKeys
Fund") who are both qualified purchasers and accredited investors (unless otherwise
permitted by law) for the purpose of providing certain information about a potential
investment in limited liability company interests (the "Interests") in the AlphaKeys Fund.
The Interests have not been recommended, approved or disapproved by the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or by the securities regulatory authority of any
state or of any other jurisdiction, nor has the SEC or any such securities regulatory
authority passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Memorandum. Any representation
to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The Interests have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), the securities laws of any other state or the securities laws of any other
jurisdiction, nor is such registration contemplated. The Interests will be offered and sold in
the United States under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act and
Regulation D promulgated thereunder and other exemptions of similar import in the laws
of the states and jurisdictions where the offering will be made. The AlphaKeys Fund will
not be registered as an investment company under the U.S. Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). There is no public market for the Interests and no
such market is expected to develop in the future. The Interests are subject to restrictions
on transferability and resale and may not be sold or transferred except as permitted under
the limited liability company agreement of the AlphaKeys Fund (as amended, restated or
otherwise modified from time to time, the "AlphaKeys Fund Agreement" annexed hereto
as Appendix B) and unless they are registered under the 1933 Act, or pursuant to an
exemption from such registration thereunder and under any other applicable securities law
registration requirements that may be available at such time.
Reauired 1933 Act Disclosure. Pursuant to recent amendments to Rule 506 of Regulation
D under the 1933 Act (the "aufg") the AlphaKeys Fund is required, among other things,
to disclose certain disciplinary events, in respect of various entities and/or individuals, that
occurred prior to the Rule's effective date of September 23, 2013, and such disclosure is
annexed hereto as Appendix C.
Potential Investors should pay particular attention to the information under the "CERTAIN
RISK FACTORS" and "POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST" sections of this Memorandum.
Investment in the AlphaKeys 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 AlphaKeys Fund. Investors in the AlphaKeys Fund must be prepared
to bear such risks for an extended period of time. No assurance can be given that the
AlphaKeys Fund's or the Underlying Fund's (defined below) investment objective will be
achieved or that Investors will receive a return of their capital.
Any losses by the AlphaKeys Fund will be borne solely by the Investors and not by the
Administrator or its affiliates; therefore, the Administrator's and its affiliates' or
subsidiaries' losses in the AlphaKeys Fund will be limited to losses attributable to the
MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001208
EFTA00236854
Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund held by the Administrator and its affiliates or subsidiaries in
their capacity as investors in the AlphaKeys Fund.
In making an investment decision, prospective Investors must rely on their own
examination of the AlphaKeys Fund and the terms of the offering of Interests, including
the merits and risks involved. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The
U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") has not reviewed or approved
this offering or this Memorandum. Prospective Investors should not construe the contents
of this Memorandum as legal, tax, investment or accounting advice and each prospective
Investor is urged to consult with its own advisers with respect to legal, tax, regulatory,
financial and accounting consequences of its investment in the AlphaKeys Fund.
Each prospective Investor shall agree that it has not relied on the AlphaKeys Fund, UBS
Fund Advisor, L.L.C. (the "Administrator") in its capacity as the Administrator and the
manager of the AlphaKeys Fund, or any of the Administrator's affiliates or employees for
tax advice in connection with its investment.
To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Service
(the "IRS") in Circular 230, you are hereby informed that any tax advice contained
in this Memorandum (i) is written in connection with the promotion or marketing
by the AlphaKeys Fund of the transactions or matters addressed herein and (ii) is
not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by any taxpayer for the
purpose of avoiding penalties under the United States Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"). Each taxpayer should seek advice based on the
taxpayer's particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.
As used in this Memorandum, the following capitalized terms have the following
meanings. "Underlying Fund" refers to Millennium USA LP and any intermediate
investment vehicles controlled by the Underlying Fund Manager or its affiliates and into
which the Underlying Fund directly or indirectly invests all or a portion of its assets (e.g.,
through a master-feeder structure). "Underlying Fund Manager" refers, individually or
collectively, as the context may require, to Millennium Management LIC, a Delaware
limited liability company, the general partner of the Underlying Fund. "Underlying Fund
Memorandum" refers to the Private Placement Memorandum of Millennium USA LP and
any supplements thereto, attached hereto as Appendix A. "Underlying Fund Documents"
refers to the offering and organizational documents of Millennium USA LP, and certain
other documents referred to herein related to the Underlying Fund.
This Memorandum contains information concerning the AlphaKeys Fund Agreement and
the Underlying Fund Documents. However, the information set forth in this Memorandum
does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference
to the AlphaKeys Fund Agreement and the Underlying Fund Documents, copies of which
are attached as appendices to this Memorandum and/or will be provided to any
prospective Investor upon request, as applicable, and which should be reviewed for
complete information, including information concerning the rights, privileges and
obligations of Investors in the AlphaKeys Fund. In the event that the descriptions or terms
in this Memorandum are inconsistent with or contrary to the descriptions in or terms of the
AlphaKeys Fund Agreement and the Underlying Fund Documents, the AlphaKeys Fund
Agreement (or with respect to any terms applicable to the Underlying Fund, the Underlying

independently verified by the AlphaKeys Fund, the Administrator or any of their respective
affiliates, and none of the foregoing makes any representation or warranty with respect to,
or shall be responsible for, the accuracy or completeness of such information.
The Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund Manager and their respective partners, officers,
directors, employees, members and affiliates take no responsibility for the contents of this
Memorandum, make no representations as to the accuracy or completeness hereof and
expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss arising from or in reliance upon any
part of this Memorandum or from any actions of the AlphaKeys Fund, the Administrator or
any Investors.
The Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund Manager and their respective partners, officers,
directors, employees, members and affiliates have not endorsed and make no
recommendation with respect to the securities offered hereby.
The Underlying Fund and the Underlying Fund Manager have no responsibility to update
any of the information provided in this Memorandum. The AlphaKeys Fund will be an
investor of the Underlying Fund entitled to the rights of an investor under applicable law
and the applicable Underlying Fund Documents. Investors in the AlphaKeys Fund,
however, do not thereby become, and will not be, investors of the Underlying Fund and
will not have rights as investors of the Underlying Fund. Rather, Investors in the AlphaKeys
Fund will have rights as members in the AlphaKeys Fund. As such, the Investors in the
AlphaKeys Fund will have no standing or recourse against any of the Underlying Fund, the
Underlying Fund Manager, their respective affiliates or any of their respective general
partners, investment advisers, officers, directors, employees, partners or members.
Statements contained in this Memorandum and the Underlying Fund Memorandum
(including those relating to current and future market conditions and trends in respect
thereof) that are not historical facts are based on current expectations, estimates,
projections, opinions and/or beliefs of the Administrator or the Underlying Fund Manager.
Certain information contained in this Memorandum and the Underlying Fund
Memorandum may constitute "forward-looking statements," which can be identified by
the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect,"
"anticipate," "project," "estimate," "intend," "continue," "target," or "believe" or the
negatives thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Due to various
risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in CERTAIN RISK FACTORS and in the
Underlying Fund Memorandum, the amount subscribed for by the AlphaKeys Fund and the
AlphaKeys Fund's fees and expenses, actual events or results or the actual performance of
the AlphaKeys Fund may differ materially from those reflected or contemplated in such
forward-looking statements.
No representation or warranty is being made herein as to the past or future investment
performance of the AlphaKeys Fund or the Underlying Fund. Only those particular
representations and warranties that may be made by the AlphaKeys Fund in a definitive
investor application ("Investor Application") relating to the purchase of Interests, when and
if one is executed, and subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be specified in
such Investor Application, shall have any legal effect.

I. SUMMARY OF TERMS
The following summary is qualified entirely by the detailed information appearing elsewhere
in this Memorandum and by the terms and conditions of the limited liability company
agreement of the AlphaKeys Fund (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time
to time, the "AlphaKeys Fund Agreement") attached hereto as Appendix B and the Investor
Application, each of which should be read carefully and retained for future reference.
Certain information contained in this Memorandum relating to the Underlying Fund
Manager has been derived by UBS Financial Services inc. from materials furnished by the
Underlying Fund Manager. For a more detailed description of the Underlying Fund Manager
and the Underlying Fund, see the Underlying Fund Memorandum.
As used in this Memorandum, the following capitalized terms have the following meanings.
"AlphaKeys Fund" refers to AlphaKeys Millennium Fund, L.L.C. (f/Ida UBS Millennium Fund,
L.L.C.), a Delaware limited liability company "Underlying Fund" refers to Millennium USA LP
and any intermediate investment vehicles controlled by the Underlying Fund Manager or its
affiliates and into which the Underlying Fund directly or indirectly invests all or a portion of
its assets (e.g., through a master-feeder structure). "Underlying Fund Manager" refers,
individually or collectively, as the context may require, to Millennium Management LW, a
Delaware limited liability company, the general partner of the Underlying Fund. "Underlying
Fund Memorandum" refers to the Private Placement Memorandum of Millennium USA LP
and any supplements thereto, attached hereto as Appendix A. "Underlying Fund
Documents" refers to the offering and organizational documents of Millennium USA LP, and
certain other documents referred to herein related to the Underlying Fund.
THE ALPHAKEYS FUND The AlphaKeys Fund is currently offering two classes of
interests: Advisory Class and Brokerage Class (together with
additional classes, tranches or series of interests the AlphaKeys
Fund may offer from time to time, 'interests"). Advisory Class
Interests will be offered only to Investors who are clients of
UBS Financial Services Inc. ("UBSFS") who invested through the
UBS Institutional Consulting program or another UBSFS
investment advisory program as permitted by the Administrator
in its sole discretion (an "Advisory Program") pursuant to
which UBSFS or its affiliates will receive a fee directly from such
Investor (an "Advisory Class Investor") for the Advisory Class
Interests. Brokerage Class Interests will be offered to all other
clients of UBSFS unless otherwise determined by the
Administrator (each, a "Brokerage Class Investor" and,
together with each Advisory Class Investor, each an
"Investor").
INVESTMENT PROGRAM The AlphaKeys Fund has been organized to invest substantially
all of its capital in Millennium USA LP, a Delaware limited
partnership (the "Underlying Fund") which may invest all or a
portion of its assets through other investment vehicles (e.g.
through a master-feeder structure) as further described in the
-1-
lAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001214
EFTA00236860
Underlying Fund Memorandum.
The objective of the AlphaKeys Fund is to invest in the
Underlying Fund. The Underlying Fund's principal trading
objective (through its investment in Millennium Partners, M.
(the "Underlying Master Fund")) is to achieve above-average
appreciation by opportunistically trading and investing in a
wide variety of securities, instruments, and other investment
opportunities and engaging in a broad array of trading and
investment strategies. See "Millennium USA's Investment
Program and Strategy" in Part One of the Underlying Fund
Memorandum and the entirety of Part Two of the Underlying
Fund Memorandum. The Underlying Fund is a limited partner
of, and invests primarily in, the Underlying Master Fund, a
Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership. For ease of
reference, the investment strategies, operations and
performance of the Underlying Fund and Underlying Master
Fund are together referred to as those of the Underlying Fund.
The AlphaKeys Fund from time to time may hold some of its
assets in cash (not earning interest), or invested in money
market securities, cash equivalents, short-to-medium term
federal tax-exempt debt obligations and similar securities of
governmental and private issuers, including funds that normally
invest primarily in such securities ("Temporary Investments") (i)
pending investment in the Underlying Fund or as the
Administrator determines is necessary or prudent, in its
discretion and/or (ii) pursuant to the retention of appropriate
reserves (as determined in the sole discretion of the
Administrator) in order to satisfy the AlphaKeys Fund's
expenses. Subject to the foregoing, substantially all of the
AlphaKeys Fund's assets are expected to be invested in the
Underlying Fund.
The Underlying Fund offers and/or has issued multiple series of
interests ("Underlying Fund Interests"). Currently, the
AlphaKeys Fund anticipates investing only in Class
interests of the Underlying Fund, as described in the Underlying
Fund Memorandum. The AlphaKeys Fund may invest in any
other series of the Underlying Fund if it is permitted to do so in
the future by the Underlying Fund, in the Administrator's
discretion without prior notice or consent.
The Underlying Fund Memorandum should be read carefully by
all prospective Investors.
Investors in the AlphaKeys Fund will not be investors of the
Underlying Fund and will have no direct interest in or rights
-MAXWELL -2-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001215
EFTA00236861
with respect to or standing or recourse against the Underlying
Fund, the Underlying Fund Manager or any affiliate, officer,
director, member or partner or other affiliate of any of them.
None of the AlphaKeys Fund, UBS Americas, Inc. or any of its
affiliates has the right to participate in the control,
management or operations of the Underlying Fund, nor has
any discretion over the investments of the Underlying Fund.
As a result of fees and expenses of the AlphaKeys Fund
(including the Administrative Fee, as defined below) and the
need to reserve amounts to pay AlphaKeys Fund obligations,
the amount of each Investor's indirect investment in the
Underlying Fund will be less than what it would have been had
such Investor invested directly in the Underlying Fund.
There can be no guarantee that the Underlying Fund will
successfully employ its investment program or that either of
the AlphaKeys Fund or the Underlying Fund achieves its
investment objective. Any losses by the AlphaKeys Fund will be
borne solely by the Investors and not by the Administrator or
its affiliates.
LEVERAGE: The AlphaKeys Fund may borrow money for any purpose, but
currently contemplates borrowing only for limited purposes
such as (i) for temporary or emergency purposes or in
connection with withdrawals by an Investor, (ii) to invest in the
Underlying Fund pending the receipt of capital contributions
from Investors and (iii) to cover any shortfall in the AlphaKeys
Fund's ability to perform any payment obligations when due.
If the AlphaKeys Fund borrows money, its Net Asset Value may
be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is repaid.
The Underlying Fund may use leverage in its trading of
securities (subject to any restrictions described in the
Underlying Fund Memorandum) and may sell securities short.
The use of leverage and short sales has attendant risks and
can, in certain circumstances, increase the adverse impact to
which the Underlying Fund's portfolio (and in turn, that of the
AlphaKeys Fund) may be subject. See "The Master
Partnership's Investment Program and Description: Leverage
and Loans" in the Underlying Fund Memorandum.
THE ADMINISTRATOR UBS Fund Advisor, L.L.C. has been appointed by the Investors
to provide certain administrative or support services to the
AlphaKeys Fund (in such capacity, the "Administrator")
pursuant to an administrative services agreement with the
AlphaKeys Fund (the "Administrative Services Agreement").
=IIVIAXWELL -3-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001216
EFTA00236862
One or more affiliates of the Administrator and the Placement
Agent (as defined below) and third parties will be engaged to
provide certain services to the AlphaKeys Fund at the expense
of the AlphaKeys Fund. The Administrator and/or its affiliates
provide certain administrative and investment advisory services
to registered and unregistered investment funds and individual
accounts. The Administrator will serve as the "Manager" of
the AlphaKeys Fund (in such capacity, the "Manager") as such
term is defined within the meaning of the Delaware Limited
Liability Company Act, Title 6 of the Delaware Code, Section
18-101 et seq., as amended from time to time (the "LLC Act").
The Administrator or an affiliate may hold a nominal value of
Interests in the Alpha Keys Fund and therefore may be an
Investor. The Administrator currently serves (and may in the
future serve) as administrator to one or more parallel funds
investing in the Underlying Fund or similar funds managed by
Millennium or an affiliate thereof (such funds "Other
AlphaKeys Millennium Funds").
The Administrator is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of
UBS Americas, Inc. (the "UBS Americas") which, in turn, is a
wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG (together with its affiliates,
"UK") a Swiss bank. UBSFS, a wholly owned subsidiary of
UBS Americas, is registered as a broker-dealer under the U.S.
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
act"), and is a member of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.
and other principal securities exchanges. The offices of the
Administrator are located at 1285 Avenue of the Americas,
New York, New York 10019, and its telephone number is
The Administrator may, directly or indirectly, assign all or any
part of its rights and duties under the Administrative Services
Agreement to any individual or entity, with the prior approval
of the AlphaKeys Fund. In the event of an assignment of the
Administrative Services Agreement, the Manager of the
AlphaKeys Fund is authorized to grant consent on behalf of the
AlphaKeys Fund. The Manager will provide written notice to
the Investors in the event that it grants consent to an
assignment. Because the Manager and the Administrator are
currently the same entity, it is unlikely that the Manager will
withhold consent to an assignment proposed by the
Administrator. In addition, the Manager may resign as
Manager of the AlphaKeys Fund and cause another individual
or entity to be appointed as the replacement manager of the
AlphaKeys Fund with (i) the prior consent of the AlphaKeys
Fund, or (ii) prior notice to the AlphaKeys Fund and, to the
extent consistent with applicable law, without the prior
MAXWELL 4-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001217
EFTA00236863
consent of the AlphaKeys Fund.
The Administrator may be removed as the Manager of the
AlphaKeys Fund and/or the Administrative Services Agreement
may be terminated upon the vote of at least a majority-in-
interest of Investors who are not affiliates of the Administrator
("Unaffiliated Investors") at a meeting of the Investors called
for such purpose as further described in the AlphaKeys Fund
Agreement. A substitute manager may be appointed upon the
vote of at least a majority-in-interest of the Unaffiliated
Investors.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE In consideration for the services provided by the Administrator,
the AlphaKeys Fund will pay the Administrator a fee (the
"Administrative Fee") on behalf of each Brokerage Class
Investor equal to (a) 1.0% per annum of the capital account
balance of each Brokerage Class Investor with a Fee Base (as
defined below) of less than $3 million and (b) 0.75% per
annum of the capital account balance of each Brokerage Class
Investor with a Fee Base of $3 million or more. The
Administrative Fee is determined as of the appropriate date
and payable monthly in arrears. The "Fee Base" with respect
to any Brokerage Class Investor is the amount equal to the
aggregate capital contributions made by such Brokerage Class
Investor (including capital contributions made at the beginning
of such fiscal period) less aggregate withdrawals made by, and
distributions to, such Brokerage Class Investor, in each case
with respect to the AlphaKeys Fund.
The Administrative Fee is not paid to the Administrator in
respect of Advisory Class Investors. If an Investor holding an
Advisory Class Interest terminates its participation in an
Advisory Program and, therefore, UBSFS or its affiliates are no
longer receiving a fee from such Investor pursuant thereto,
then the AlphaKeys Fund may convert such Investor's Advisory
Class Interest into a Brokerage Class Interest and cause such
Investor to bear the Administrative Fee due to the
Administrator with respect to the Brokerage Class Interest
accordingly, subject to waiver in the Administrator's discretion.
The AlphaKeys Fund does not expect to permit mid-month
investments or withdrawals. If the AlphaKeys Fund or the
Administrator permits an Investor to make a capital
contribution on any day other than the first day of any month,
the AlphaKeys Fund may, in the Administrator's sole discretion,
be required to pay, in lieu of a full Administrative Fee for such
month, a prorated Administrative Fee with respect to such
Investor for such month. If the AlphaKeys Fund or the
-MAXWELL -5-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001218
EFTA00236864
Administrator permits an Investor to make a withdrawal other
than as of the last business day of a month, the Administrative
Fee for such month may, in the Administrator's sole discretion,
be prorated and paid accordingly, as appropriate. The
Administrative Fee will be paid to the Administrator out of the
AlphaKeys Fund's assets, and debited against each Investor's
capital account by the amount of the Administrative Fee
charged to the AlphaKeys Fund with respect to such Investor.
The Administrative Fee will be in addition to the Underlying
Fund Performance Allocation and other charges or expenses of
the Underlying Fund (as described below).
The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, waive or reduce
the Administrative Fee with respect to any Investor and may
otherwise vary the terms of the Administrative Fee as to an
Investor by agreement with such Investor and the AlphaKeys
Fund. The Administrator may also vary the terms of the
Administrative Fee with respect to a particular class, tranche or
series (or sub-class, sub-tranche or sub-series) of Interests, in
the Administrator's sole discretion.
PLACEMENT FEE Brokerage Class Investors will be charged by UBSFS (in such
capacity, the "Placement Agent") a placement fee (a
"Placement Fee") of 2% of the Investor's capital contribution
(including any additional capital contributions made by an
Investor) to the AlphaKeys Fund (subject to waiver by the
Placement Agent in limited circumstances). The Placement Fee
is in addition to an Investor's capital contribution to the
AlphaKeys Fund and will not be included in an Investor's capital
account therein.
Advisory Class Investors will not be charged a Placement Fee.
UNDERLYING FUND A performance allocation of 2O% of any net profit (determined
PERFORMANCE ALLOCATION net of the Underlying Fund Management Fee as described
herein) (the "Underlying Fund Performance Allocation") will be
charged annually, as further described in and subject to
additional terms set forth in the Underlying Fund
Memorandum. See "Fees and Expenses Relating to Millennium
USA" and "Allocation of Gains and Losses" in Part One of the
Underlying Fund Memorandum for further discussion of the
Underlying Fund Performance Allocation.
UNDERLYING FUND Neither the Underlying Fund nor the Underlying Master Fund
EXPENSES pay a management fee. As set forth in the Underlying Fund
Memorandum, the Underlying Fund and the Underlying Master
Fund each bear a range of fees and expenses including, but
not limited to, expenses incurred with respect to, or in

benefits, bonuses, fees and performance-based compensation
paid or reimbursed to portfolio managers, other employees,
consultants, subcontractors, agents and investment advisers
engaged directly by the Underlying Master Fund and its
affiliates, fees paid to persons or entities who assist in
identifying and recruiting portfolio managers, and expenses
related to computers, equipment and technology and expenses
related to maintaining offices, including leases and fixtures).

OTHER EXPENSES BNY Mellon Alternative Investment Services (the "Sub-.
Administrator") performs certain administration, accounting
and investor services for the AlphaKeys Fund and other
investment funds sponsored or advised by UBSFS or its
affiliates. In consideration for these services, the AlphaKeys
Fund and certain of these other investment funds will pay the
Sub-Administrator an annual fee calculated based upon the
aggregate average net assets of the AlphaKeys Fund and
certain of these other investment funds, subject to a minimum
monthly fee, and will reimburse certain of the Sub-
Administrator's expenses.
The AlphaKeys Fund will bear all costs, fees and expenses
incurred in the operation of the AlphaKeys Fund, other than
those specifically required to be borne by the Administrator and
other service providers pursuant to their agreements with the
AlphaKeys Fund. Expenses ("Expenses") to be borne by the
AlphaKeys Fund include: (i) all costs and expenses related to
investment transactions and positions for the AlphaKeys Fund's
account, including, but not limited to, custodial fees, fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the AlphaKeys Fund's
investment in the Underlying Fund, including due diligence,
"road show" and other marketing-related expenses and travel-
related expenses, and fees and expenses related to any
Temporary Investments made by the AlphaKeys Fund; (ii) all
costs and expenses associated with borrowing; (iii) fees payable
to the Conflicts Review Committee (as defined herein) and the
costs and expenses of holding any meetings of the Conflicts
Review Committee or of Investors that are permitted or
required to be held under the terms of the AlphaKeys Fund
Agreement or applicable law; (iv) all costs and expenses
MEVIAXWELL -7-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001220
EFTA00236866
associated with the organization and operation of the
AlphaKeys Fund, including offering costs and the costs of
compliance with any applicable federal, state and other laws;
tax preparation and reporting fees; taxes, including but not
limited to, tax payments made on behalf of Investors; (v) fees
and disbursements of any attorneys, accountants, auditors and
other consultants and professionals engaged on behalf of the
AlphaKeys Fund, including in connection with an audit; (vi) the
costs of any liability or other insurance obtained on behalf of
the AlphaKeys Fund or the Administrator; (vii) all costs and
expenses of preparing, setting in type, printing and distributing
reports and other communications to Investors; (viii) all
expenses of valuing the AlphaKeys Fund's Net Asset Value,
including any equipment or services obtained for the purpose
of valuing the AlphaKeys Fund's investment portfolio, including
appraisal and valuation services provided by third parties; (ix) all
charges for equipment or services used for communications
between the AlphaKeys Fund and any custodian or other agent
engaged by the AlphaKeys Fund; (x) the Administrative Fee and
the fees of custodians and other persons providing
administrative or sub-administrative services to the AlphaKeys
Fund; (xi) fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
preparation for or defense or disposition of any investigation,
action, suit, arbitration or other proceeding, and any
indemnification expenses related thereto; and (xii) such other
types of expenses as may be approved from time to time by
the Administrator.
The AlphaKeys Fund may pay costs and expenses, including
any amounts paid or accrued by the AlphaKeys Fund vis-à-vis
its investment in the Underlying Fund, such as withdrawal
charges, if any. In addition, such expenses may be assessed
against the individual Investor's capital account, in the
Administrator's discretion, as discussed further under
"Withdrawals" below. Expenses (other than the
Administrative Fee, which will be charged as described above)
will be allocated pro rata among the Investors, unless
otherwise determined by the Administrator. The AlphaKeys
Fund will reimburse the Administrator for any of the above
expenses that it may pay on behalf of the AlphaKeys Fund.
The AlphaKeys Fund will bear its organizational and offering
expenses, which may be amortized over a five year period.
Such amortization over a five year period may be a divergence
from U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
("GAAP"). Although amortization over a five year period is not
deemed in accordance with GAAP, the Net Asset Value
attributable to each Investor's capital account (as reported in
MWELL -8-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001221
EFTA00236867
the Investor's capital account statements) may still be
calculated by amortizing organizational and offering costs over
such five year period and may therefore differ from the Net
Asset Value in the financial statements determined in
accordance with GAAP.
The Administrator may determine to bear, waive or delay
certain expenses (including organizational expenses of the
AlphaKeys Fund) in its sole discretion, under such terms and in
such manner as the Administrator chooses.
In addition to the foregoing costs and expenses, Investors will
bear the cost of the AlphaKeys Fund's pro rata share of the
Underlying Fund Performance Allocation and the Underlying
Fund's and Underlying Master Fund's fees and expenses
allocable to the AlphaKeys Fund in the Underlying Fund, each
as described above. Among other things, under the
Underlying Fund Documents, the Underlying Fund (and
indirectly the AlphaKeys Fund, like all other investors in the
Underlying Fund) has agreed to indemnify the Underlying Fund
Manager and its affiliates (and each of its respective interest
holders, directors, officers, employees, agents and each person
who controls any of the foregoing and their executors, heirs,
assigns, successors and other legal representatives). Any costs
or liabilities associated with such indemnification will be borne
in part by the Underlying Fund. See "Fees and Expenses
Relating to Millennium USA" in Part One of The Underlying
Fund Memorandum and "The Master Partnership's Fees and
Expenses" in Part Two of the Underlying Fund Memorandum
for further discussion of the Underlying Fund's and Underlying
Master Fund's expenses.
Appropriate reserves may be created, accrued and charged
against net assets for contingent liabilities known to the
Administrator. Reserves will be in such amounts, subject to
increase or reduction, and as of such date as the Administrator
may deem necessary or appropriate.
TERMS OF UNDERLYING The terms of the Underlying Fund, including the terms
FUND described herein, are subject to change. In the event of any
such change to the terms of the Underlying Fund, as an
investor in the Underlying Fund, the AlphaKeys Fund will be
subject to such changed terms.
TERM The AlphaKeys Fund's term is perpetual unless it is otherwise
wound up under the terms of the AlphaKeys Fund Agreement.
The AlphaKeys Fund will be voluntarily dissolved: (i) at the
election of the Administrator; or (ii) as required by operation of
-MAXWELL _9_
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001222
EFTA00236868
law. Upon the occurrence of any event of dissolution, the
Administrator, acting directly, or a liquidator under
appointment by the Administrator, is charged with winding up
the affairs of the AlphaKeys Fund and liquidating its assets.
Net profits or net loss during the fiscal period including the
period of liquidation will be allocated as described in the
section titled SUMMARY OF TERMS: "Allocation of Profit and
Loss."
Upon the dissolution of the AlphaKeys Fund, its assets are to
be distributed (1) first to satisfy the debts, liabilities and
obligations of the AlphaKeys Fund, other than debts to
Investors, including actual or anticipated liquidation expenses,
(2) next to satisfy debts owing to the Investors and (3) finally to
the Investors proportionately in accordance with the balances
in their respective capital accounts. Assets may be distributed
in kind if the Administrator or liquidator determines that such a
distribution would be in the interests of the Investors in
facilitating an orderly liquidation.
WITHDRAWALS An Investor shall be permitted to make a withdrawal of
Interests as of the close of business on March 31, June 30,
September 30 and December 31 of each year (each such day, a
"Withdrawal Date").
In the event that withdrawal requests are received for any
Withdrawal Date aggregating to more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the aggregate net asset value of the
AlphaKeys Fund as of such withdrawal date, the Administrator
may, in its sole discretion, (i) satisfy all such withdrawal
requests or (ii) reduce all such withdrawal requests, pro rata
based on the requested withdrawal amount of each Investor,
so that only 25% (or a higher percentage, in the sole discretion
of the Administrator) of the aggregate net asset value of the
AlphaKeys Fund as of such withdrawal date is withdrawn as of
such date (the "Gate"). To the extent a request for withdrawal
of Interests is not fully satisfied due to the Gate, the applicable
Investor will be deemed automatically to have resubmitted a
withdrawal request for the remaining portion of such
unsatisfied request as of the next Withdrawal Date and, if the
Gate applies as of such next Withdrawal Date, such withdrawal
request may be subject to reduction in the same manner as
new withdrawal requests pursuant to the Gate. For the
avoidance of doubt, both new withdrawal requests for a
Withdrawal Date and withdrawal requests deemed
resubmitted for such Withdrawal Date will be reduced pro rata
by the Gate, if applicable, as of such date. Subject to the terms
of withdrawal payments by the Underlying Fund, a
AAXWELL -1O-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001223
EFTA00236869
withdrawing Investor subject to the Gate(s) will generally
receive payment on each subsequent Withdrawal Date until
the Investor's entire withdrawal request is satisfied. Capital not
withdrawn from the AlphaKeys Fund by virtue of the foregoing
restrictions shall remain at risk of (and will be subject to the
profits and losses resulting from) the AlphaKeys Fund's
business until the effective date of the withdrawal.
In addition, to the extent the AlphaKeys Fund is restricted from
making withdrawals from the Underlying Fund due to a gating
or other restriction imposed by the Underlying Fund, the
Administrator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, reduce
the withdrawals requested by Investors pro rata according to
the method described above.
A withdrawal of any Interests prior to the last day of the fourth
full fiscal quarter after the subscription for such Interests will be
subject to an early withdrawal charge (the "Early Withdrawal
Charge") equal to 4% of the amount requested to be
withdrawn, the proceeds of which will be allocated among the
remaining Interests. In addition, any early withdrawal charge
that is charged to the AlphaKeys Fund by the Underlying Fund
will be allocated pro rata among Investors.
An Investor wishing to withdraw capital or withdraw from the
AlphaKeys Fund must provide written notice to the
Administrator at least one hundred and five (105) days prior to
a Withdrawal Date, (unless the Administrator agrees to accept
shorter notice), or upon such other notice period, which may
be longer, as may be notified to the Members, in the
Manager's sole discretion.
In the case of withdrawals of 95% or more of the balance of
an Investor's capital account, an amount equal to 95% of the
estimated withdrawal proceeds is generally expected to be
payable to such Investor within sixty (60) days after the
applicable Withdrawal Date, and the balance will be paid,
subject to audit adjustment and with interest, within 30 days
after the AlphaKeys Fund receives its audited financial
statements for the year in which such Withdrawal Date
occurred.
In the case of withdrawals of less than 95% of an Investor's
capital account made as of March 31 or September 30, an
amount equal to 100% of the estimated withdrawal proceeds
is generally expected to be payable to an Investor within sixty
(60) days after the applicable Withdrawal Date.
-MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001224
EFTA00236870
In the case of withdrawals of less than 95% of an Investor's
capital account made as of June 30 or December 31, an
amount equal to 95% of the estimated withdrawal proceeds is
generally expected to be payable to an Investor within sixty
(60) days after the applicable Withdrawal Date, and the
balance will be paid, subject to audit adjustment and with
interest, 15 days following receipt from the Underlying Fund
(which will be after the completion of the semiannual audit of
the Underlying Fund, which is generally expected to occur
approximately 100 days after the applicable Withdrawal Date,
although such audit could also be completed at a later time).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts held back may be
larger and/or paid out later than described above, as the ability
of the AlphaKeys Fund to honor withdrawal requests will be
dependent upon the AlphaKeys Fund's receipt of funds from
the Underlying Fund and its ability to make withdrawals from
the Underlying Fund, which is subject to the withdrawal terms
of the Underlying Fund and may be delayed or suspended
altogether. See "Millennium USA's Organization,
Management, Structure, and Operations" in Part One of the
Underlying Fund Memorandum. The Administrator may
determine to satisfy a withdrawal request in full, without a
holdback, in its discretion.
Each withdrawal will be subject to a minimum withdrawal
amount of U.S. $50,000 and no partial withdrawals will be
permitted if the balance of the Investor's capital account with
respect to its remaining Interests would be less than U.S.
$250,000, provided that such requirements may be waived
with respect to any Investor by the Administrator in its sole
discretion.
The amount due to any Investor whose Interest or portion
thereof is withdrawn will be equal to the value of the Investor's
capital account or portion thereof based on the estimated net
asset value of the AlphaKeys Fund's assets as of the applicable
Withdrawal Date, after giving effect to all allocations and
charges to be made to the Investor's capital account (including
the Administrative Fee) as of such date. The Administrator may
establish reserves and holdbacks for estimated, projected or
accrued expenses (including the Administrative Fee), liabilities
and contingencies (even if such reserves or holdbacks are not
otherwise required by generally accepted accounting principles)
which could reduce the amount of a distribution upon
withdrawal. In addition, in the sole discretion of the
Administrator, any withdrawal by an Investor may be subject to
a charge, as the Administrator may reasonably require, in order
MAXWELL _12_
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001225
EFTA00236871
to defray the costs and expenses of the AlphaKeys Fund in
connection with such withdrawal, including but not limited to
the Early Withdrawal Charge and any amounts paid or accrued
by the AlphaKeys Fund vis-à-vis its investment in the
Underlying Fund, withdrawal or similar charges imposed by the
Underlying Fund.
The AlphaKeys Fund may, at times, receive withdrawal
proceeds in amounts that exceed the eligible withdrawal
requests with respect to the AlphaKeys Fund. The
Administrator will generally reinvest any such excess in the
Underlying Fund as of the next available capital contribution
date. However, as a result of such over-withdrawal, the
AlphaKeys Fund may bear a greater amount of Underlying
Fund Incentive Allocation and/or other fees and expenses than
it would bear in the absence of such overwithdrawal.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrator
may require any Investor to withdraw its Interests (in whole or
in part) for any or no reason. For example, the AlphaKeys Fund
may terminate the Interest of any Investor who is a UBS
employee if the continued participation of such Investor is
determined by the Administrator to subject any of the
AlphaKeys Fund, the Administrator, or their respective affiliates
to any adverse consequence under any laws, rules or
regulations applicable to any of the AlphaKeys Fund, the
Administrator, or their respective affiliates. Distributions in
respect of any such required withdrawals may be made in the
manner and in amounts described above for voluntary
withdrawals by Investors.
Please see "Withdrawal Rights" in the Underlying Fund
Memorandum for a more detailed description of the
withdrawal terms, including additional restrictions, applicable
to the AlphaKeys Fund's investment in the Underlying Fund.
LIMITATIONS ON Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and in
WITHDRAWALS accordance with the AlphaKeys Fund Agreement, the
Administrator may suspend or delay the right of any Investor to
withdraw all or a portion of its capital account or to receive a
distribution from the AlphaKeys Fund if (i) the Administrator
reasonably believes it necessary, prudent or appropriate in
connection with the operation of the AlphaKeys Fund or (ii) the
AlphaKeys Fund has not received sufficient funds from the
Underlying Fund or if the AlphaKeys Fund's ability to make
withdrawals from the Underlying Fund is suspended, delayed,
modified or denied. See "Certain Risk Factors Relating to
Millennium USA — Limit on Withdrawals" in Part One of the
-MAXWELL -13-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001226
EFTA00236872
Underlying Fund Memorandum for a discussion of when the
AlphaKeys Fund's ability to make withdrawals from the
Underlying Fund may be suspended, delayed, modified or
denied. The Administrator specifically reserves the right to
prohibit an Investor from withdrawing all or a portion of its
capital account or from receiving a distribution from the
AlphaKeys Fund if such withdrawal or distribution would
cause the assets of the AlphaKeys Fund to be considered "plan
assets" under Section 3(42) of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and any
rules and regulations thereunder, and the plan assets
regulation set forth by the U.S. Department of Labor in the
U.S. Code of Federal Regulations at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101, as
modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA (collectively, the "Plan
Assets Rulesin Further, Investors should be aware that
the withdrawal process could involve substantial
complications and delays, as the ability of the AlphaKeys
Fund to honor withdrawal requests will be dependent
upon the AlphaKeys Fund's ability to make withdrawals
from the Underlying Fund, which may be delayed or
suspended altogether. Accordingly, the Administrator
may determine that withdrawals should be delayed or
suspended. The Administrator may so delay or suspend
redemptions from the AlphaKeys Fund at a time when
no such delay or suspension is in effect with respect to
one or more Other AlphaKeys Millennium Funds.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
once the AlphaKeys Fund has commenced liquidation, all
withdrawal rights and requests may be canceled or altered in
the Administrator's sole discretion. Withdrawals may be
funded with cash or securities. Although the Administrator
generally expects distributions in connection with withdrawals
to be made in cash, any such distributions may be in cash, in-
kind, or partly in cash and partly in-kind, in the Administrator's
sole discretion.
Please see "Limitation on Withdrawals" in the Underlying Fund
Memorandum for a more detailed description of the
withdrawal terms, including additional restrictions, applicable
to the AlphaKeys Fund's investment in the Underlying Fund.
CAPITAL Accoutrrs The AlphaKeys Fund will maintain a separate capital account
for each Investor, which will have an opening balance equal to
such Investor's initial contribution to the capital of the
AlphaKeys Fund. Each Investor's capital account will be
increased by the sum of the amount of cash constituting
additional contributions by such Investor to the capital of the
MMI-MAXWELL -14-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001227
EFTA00236873
AlphaKeys Fund, plus any amounts credited to such Investor's
capital account as described below. Similarly, each Investor's
capital account will be reduced by the sum of the amount of
any withdrawal from the AlphaKeys Fund of the Interest or
portion of the Interest of such Investor, plus the amount of any
distributions to such Investor, plus any amounts debited
against such Investor's capital account as described below.
Capital accounts of Investors are adjusted as of the close of
business on the last day of each fiscal period. The AlphaKeys
Fund may, in the Administrator's sole discretion, establish a
separate capital account with respect to an additional
contribution by an Investor and Investors may hold multiple
Interests.
ALLOCATION OF PROFIT AND Net profits or net losses of the AlphaKeys Fund for each fiscal
Loss period will be allocated among and credited to or debited
against the capital accounts of all Investors as of the last day of
each fiscal period in accordance with the balance of each such
capital account for such fiscal period (provided that allocations
may be adjusted to give effect to additional classes, tranches or
series of interests created by the AlphaKeys Fund). Net profits
or net losses will be measured as the net change in the Net
Asset Value of the AlphaKeys Fund, including any net change
in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and
realized income and gains or losses and expenses during a
fiscal period, before giving effect to the Administrative Fee
(and certain other items) and any withdrawals by Investors.
In the event the Administrator determines that, based upon tax
or regulatory reasons, or any other reasons, an Investor should
not participate, in whole or in part, in allocations of net profit
and net loss to one or more of its capital accounts attributable
to trading or investing in any security, type of security or any
other transaction, the Administrator may allocate such profit
and/or loss to the capital accounts of such Investor or other
Investors not subject to such limitations. The Administrator
may also choose, based upon the reasons above, to allocate
interest earned on any security, type of security or any other
transaction to a memorandum account separate from such
Investor's capital account(s).
To the greatest extent possible, allocations for federal income
tax purposes generally will be made among the Investors so as
to reflect equitably amounts credited or debited to each
Investor's capital account. The AlphaKeys Fund may specially
allocate items of taxable income and gain or loss and
deduction to a withdrawing Investor. This special allocation to
or from a withdrawing Investor could result in Investors
ME -MAXWELL -15-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001228
EFTA00236874
(including the withdrawing Investor) receiving more or less
items of income, gain, deduction or loss (and/or income, gains,
deductions or losses of a different character) than they would
receive in the absence of such allocations.
VALUATION The AlphaKeys Fund and/or each class, tranche or series of
Interests issued by the AlphaKeys Fund will have a Net Asset
Value determined at such times as the Administrator may
determine. The Net Asset Value will be equal to the sum of
the value of all the gross assets of the AlphaKeys Fund and/or
each class, tranche or series minus all gross liabilities of the
AlphaKeys Fund and/or such class, tranche or series, including
(after accrual thereof) any expenses. The term "Net Asset
Value" in respect of the AlphaKeys Fund or the Underlying
Fund (or any class, tranche or series (or sub-class or sub-series)
thereof) shall mean the then-current net asset value of such
AlphaKeys Fund or Underlying Fund (or such class, tranche or
series (or sub-class or sub-series) thereof).
The assets of the AlphaKeys Fund will be valued in accordance
with GAAP or another methodology determined appropriate
by the Administrator in its sole discretion. Based on current
GAAP requirements, the Administrator expects to rely on
valuation information provided by the Underlying Fund (which
will be unaudited, except for information as of the date of the
Underlying Fund's semiannual audits), which if inaccurate or
incomplete could adversely affect the Administrator's ability to
determine the Net Asset Value and, accordingly, value the
Interests accurately. In certain circumstances, the Administrator
may be required by GAAP to make adjustments to the
valuation information provided by the Underlying Fund. Absent
bad faith or manifest error, valuation determinations made by
the Administrator will be conclusive and binding.
Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, the
AlphaKeys Fund's net profits and net losses will be determined
in accordance with GAAP applied consistently and will include
net realized and unrealized profits or losses on the AlphaKeys
Fund's investments.
LIABILITY OF INVESTORS Investors in the AlphaKeys Fund will be members of a limited
liability company as provided under Delaware law. Under
Delaware law and the AlphaKeys Fund Agreement, an Investor
will not be liable for the debts, obligations or liabilities of the
AlphaKeys Fund solely by reason of being an Investor, except
that the Investor may be obligated to (i) make capital
contributions to the AlphaKeys Fund pursuant to the
=E -MAXWELL AlphaKeys Fund Agreement and applicable law, including to
-16-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001229
EFTA00236875
repay any funds wrongfully distributed to the Investor, (ii) repay
amounts paid to such Investor in connection with a withdrawal
as a result of a determination by the Administrator that the
amount paid to such Investor was materially incorrect,
(iii) repay withholding or other taxes applicable with respect to
such Investor paid by the AlphaKeys Fund, or (iv) repay
liabilities of the AlphaKeys Fund incurred during a prior period
in which such Investor was an Investor in the AlphaKeys Fund
(including any such liabilities of the AlphaKeys Fund to the
Underlying Fund).
The Administrator will not be personally liable to any Investor
for the repayment of any balance in such Investor's capital
account or for capital contributions by such Investor to the
capital of the AlphaKeys Fund or by reason of any change in
the federal or state income tax laws applicable to the
AlphaKeys Fund or its Investors.
EXCULPATION AND The AlphaKeys Fund Agreement provides that the Manager will
INDEMNIFICATION not be liable to the AlphaKeys Fund for any acts or omissions
by the Manager, and any member, director, officer or
employee of the Manager, or any of its affiliates, for any error
of judgment, mistake of law or any act or omission in
connection with the performance of its duties under the
AlphaKeys Fund Agreement, unless it shall be determined by
final judicial decision on the merits, from which there is no
further right to appeal, that such error, mistake or act or
omission constitutes willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in connection with the conduct of the Manager's
duties under the AlphaKeys Fund Agreement; provided, that
under no circumstance will the Manager be liable for any
indirect or consequential damages.
The AlphaKeys Fund will indemnify the Manager, and any
member, director, officer or employee of the Manager, and
any of their affiliates (each, an "Indemnified Person") for, and
hold each Indemnified Person harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense, including, without limit, reasonable counsel
fees, incurred on the part of an Indemnified Person arising out
of or in connection with the Manager's acceptance of, or the
performance of its duties and obligations under, the AlphaKeys
Fund Agreement, as well as the costs and expenses of
defending against any claim or liability arising out of or relating
to the AlphaKeys Fund Agreement, absent willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence of its obligations to the
AlphaKeys Fund; provided, however, that nothing contained in
the AlphaKeys Fund Agreement shall constitute a waiver or
limitation of any rights which the AlphaKeys Fund may have
=MI -MAXWELL -17-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001230
EFTA00236876
under applicable securities or other laws.
Expenses incurred by an Indemnified Person in defense or
settlement of any claim that may be subject to a right of
indemnification hereunder will be advanced by the AlphaKeys
Fund to such Indemnified Person prior to the final disposition
thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
Indemnified Person to repay such amount if a court of
competent jurisdiction determines in a non-appealable
judgment that the Indemnified Person was not entitled to be
indemnified hereunder. Any and all judgments against the
AlphaKeys Fund or the Manager in respect of which the
Manager is entitled to indemnification shall be satisfied from
the AlphaKeys Fund assets, including capital contributions. If
the Manager determines that it is appropriate or necessary to
do so, the Manager may cause the AlphaKeys Fund to establish
reasonable reserves, escrow accounts or similar accounts to
fund its obligations.
The Administrative Services Agreement and the Investor
Application provide that the Administrator and its affiliates will
receive certain exculpation and indemnification rights that are
substantially similar to those afforded to the Manager pursuant
to the terms of the AlphaKeys Fund Agreement.
In addition, the AlphaKeys Fund indemnifies the Placement
Agent under certain circumstances, as set forth in the
placement agreement between the AlphaKeys Fund and the
Placement Agent (the "Placement Agreement").
AMENDMENT OF THE The AlphaKeys Fund Agreement may be amended with the
ALPHAKEYS FUND approval of (i) the Administrator in its capacity as Manager and
AGREEMENT (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Investors. An Investor will be
deemed to consent to a proposed amendment if the Investor
has received notice of such amendment and did not object
thereto within a reasonable, and specifically disclosed, time
period that is consistent with applicable law. Amendments
increasing the obligation of any Investor to make capital
contributions to the AlphaKeys Fund or reducing any Investor's
capital account (in each case other than as permitted in the
AlphaKeys Fund Agreement) may not be made without the
consent of any Investors adversely affected thereby or unless
any such Investor has received notice of such amendment and,
in the case of an Investor objecting to such amendment, a
reasonable opportunity to withdraw its Interests. Amendments
that (i) increase Investor rights, including with respect to
voting, or (ii) otherwise would not adversely affect Investors,
will not require Investor consent.

The terms of the Underlying Fund, including the terms
described herein, are subject to change. In the event of any
change to the terms of the Underlying Fund, as an investor in
the Underlying Fund, the AlphaKeys Fund will be subject to
such changed terms and will change its terms accordingly.
APPLICATION FOR INTERESTS Both initial and additional applications for Interests by eligible
Investors may be accepted at such times as the AlphaKeys Fund
may determine, subject to the receipt of cleared funds on or
before the acceptance date set by the AlphaKeys Fund. Capital
contributions made prior to any closing, including the initial
closing, the timing of which will be determined in the sole
discretion of the Administrator, may be held in an escrow or
similar account pending such closing at the discretion of the
Administrator. It is possible such account will not earn interest.
After the initial closing, initial applications and additional
capital contributions generally will be accepted monthly. The
AlphaKeys Fund reserves the right to reject any application for
Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund at any time and to suspend
acceptance of subscriptions, which suspension may later be
terminated by the Administrator. Generally, the minimum
initial investment in the AlphaKeys Fund is $250,000. Investors
may make additional capital contributions in amounts not less
than $50,000 unless otherwise determined by the
Administrator, in its sole discretion. The AlphaKeys Fund, in its
sole discretion, may vary the investment minimums from time
to time. Contributions to the capital of the AlphaKeys Fund
will be payable in cash.
Investors must be "accredited investors" as defined in
Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act (each, an
"Accredited Investor") and "qualified purchasers" as defined in
Section 2(aX51XA) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "rW) ArS") (each, a "Qualified Purchaser")
unless otherwise permitted by law. See APPLICATION FOR
INTERESTS: "Eligible Investors."
TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS No person may become a substitute Investor without the
written consent of the Administrator, which consent may be
withheld for any reason in its sole and absolute discretion and
is expected to be granted, if at all, only under extenuating
circumstances, in connection with a transfer to an entity that
does not result in a change of beneficial ownership. The
Administrator may require such documentation as it shall
determine in its sole discretion.

EFTA00236878
SUMMARY OF TAXATION The AlphaKeys Fund intends to be treated as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes and not as an association or a
publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. As a
partnership, the AlphaKeys Fund generally should not be
subject to federal income tax, and each Investor will be
required to report on its own annual tax return its distributive
share of the AlphaKeys Fund's taxable income or loss (which,
assuming the Underlying Fund and the Underlying Master Fund
are each properly treated as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes and not as an association or a publicly traded
partnership taxable as a corporation, will consist almost entirely
of the AlphaKeys Fund's share of the taxable income or loss of
the Underlying Fund, which, in turn, will consist primarily of
the Underlying Fund's share of the taxable income or loss of
the Underlying Master Fund). Each Investor must report its
share of the AlphaKeys Fund's taxable income or loss,
regardless of the extent to which, or whether, the AlphaKeys
Fund or such Investor receives corresponding distributions for
such taxable year, and such Investor, thus, may incur income
tax liabilities in excess of any distributions to or from the
AlphaKeys Fund.
An investment in the AlphaKeys Fund may have the effect of
requiring the Investor to file income or other tax returns in
jurisdictions in which the AlphaKeys Fund, the Underlying Fund
or the Underlying Master Fund conducts investment activities.
In order for the AlphaKeys Fund to complete its tax reporting
requirements, the AlphaKeys Fund must, among other things,
receive timely information from the Underlying Fund.

EFTA00236879
If the AlphaKeys Fund incurs a withholding tax or other tax
obligation with respect to the share of AlphaKeys Fund income
allocable to any Investor in the Administrator's sole discretion,
the amount of such obligation shall be debited against the
Capital Account of such Investor, and any amounts then or
thereafter distributable to such Investor may be reduced by the
amount of such taxes. If the amount of such taxes is greater
than any such distributable amounts, then such Investor shall
be required to pay to the AlphaKeys Fund, upon demand, the
amount of such excess.
Investors should note that the AlphaKeys Fund is not generally
obligated, and does not intend, to make distributions. Further,
the AlphaKeys Fund is not required, and does not intend, to
make distributions to an Investor to cover U.S. federal and
state income taxes or other tax liabilities of such Investor with
respect to its allocable share of AlphaKeys Fund income and
gain. Accordingly, a non-withdrawing Investor will be required
to use cash from other sources in order to pay tax on its
taxable income that is attributable to its Interests in the
AlphaKeys Fund. See TAX ASPECTS.
TAX-EXEMPT ENTITIES The AlphaKeys Fund may borrow for any purpose and it is
expected that the Underlying Fund or Underlying Master Fund
will use leverage in connection with its trading activities.
However, the AlphaKeys Fund only intends to borrow in limited
circumstances, if any. The Underlying Fund Memorandum
provides that a portion of the Underlying Fund's income may
be treated as "unrelated business taxable income" ("UBTI"),
and therefore the AlphaKeys Fund may generate UBTI as well
(which will be significant if the Underlying Fund generates
significant UBTI, as it has in previous years). Therefore, a tax-
exempt Investor may incur income tax liability with respect to
its share of the net profits from such leveraged transactions
and other transactions to the extent they are treated as giving
rise to UBTI. Tax-exempt investors (including individual
retirement accounts ("IRS") to the extent investments
through IRAs are accepted) may be required to make
payments, including estimated payments, and file an income
tax return for any taxable year in which they have UBTI. To file
an income tax return, it may be necessary for the IRA or other
tax-exempt investor to obtain an Employer Identification
Number. The AlphaKeys Fund will not accept subscriptions
from charitable remainder trusts. See TAX ASPECTS.
Investment in the AlphaKeys Fund by tax-exempt entities
requires special consideration. Trustees or administrators of
such entities are urged to review carefully the matters
ME -MAXWELL -21-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001234
EFTA00236880
discussed in this Memorandum.
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS The Administrator will use reasonable efforts to prevent the
assets of the Alpha Keys Fund from being considered "plan
assets" within the meaning of the Plan Assets Rules by limiting
investment in each class of Interests of the AlphaKeys Fund by
"Benefit Plan Investors" (as defined in the Plan Assets Rules
and described in CERTAIN ERISA AND OTHER
CONSIDERATIONS below) to a level that would not be
considered "significant" (as defined in the Plan Assets Rules).
Investors and persons making the decision to invest in the
AlphaKeys Fund on their behalf will be required to identify an
Investor's Benefit Plan status. See CERTAIN ERISA AND OTHER
CONSIDERATIONS below.
If at any time the Administrator determines that equity
participation in the AlphaKeys Fund by Benefit Plan Investors
would be considered "significant" (as defined in the Plan
Assets Rules), the Administrator will be permitted to cause one
or more Benefit Plan Investors to withdraw or reduce their
Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund (including on a non-pro rata
basis) to the extent necessary so that equity participation in the
AlphaKeys Fund by Benefit Plan Investors would not be
considered "significant" (as defined in the Plan Assets Rules).
See "CERTAIN ERISA AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS below.
Each prospective Investor subject to ERISA and/or
Section 4975 of the United States Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (or any other similar
laws) is urged to consult its own legal and financial
advisers as to the provisions of ERISA and Section 4975
of the Code (or such similar laws) applicable to an
investment in the AlphaKeys Fund.
REPORTS TO INVESTORS The AlphaKeys Fund will furnish to Investors as soon as
practicable after the end of each taxable year such information
as is necessary for Investors to complete federal and state
income tax or information returns, along with any other tax
information required by law. For the AlphaKeys Fund to
complete its tax reporting requirements, it must receive
information on a timely basis from the Underlying Fund.
It is expected that the AlphaKeys Fund's Schedule K-1s
will most likely not be available prior to April 15 (and
may be available significantly later than April 15) and,
accordingly, Investors would need to obtain extensions
for the filing of their individual tax returns at the federal,
11AXWE
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001235
EFTA00236881
state and local level.
The AlphaKeys Fund also intends to deliver to the Investors
audited annual financial reports of the AlphaKeys Fund as soon
as practicable after the conclusion of the AlphaKeys Fund's
fiscal year; however, the AlphaKeys Fund may deliver
unaudited annual financial reports in its sole discretion. If the
AlphaKeys Fund does deliver audited reports, such annual audit
can be completed only once the AlphaKeys Fund receives
audited financial statements for the same fiscal year from the
Underlying Fund. Consequently, it is possible that audited
annual financial reports of the AlphaKeys Fund may be
completed later than would otherwise be the case. In addition,
Investors may receive quarterly and other unaudited periodic
reports regarding the AlphaKeys Fund's operations. To the
extent that such reports reflect valuations of investments made
by the Underlying Fund, such valuations will be based on
information provided by the Underlying Fund, in its sole
discretion. Such valuations are subjective in nature and may
not conform to any particular valuation standard.
Audited financial reports, as well as other financial reports of
the AlphaKeys Fund, will be prepared in accordance with
GAAP or another methodology determined appropriate by the
Administrator, in its sole discretion. It is possible that the
reporting method used to prepare annual reports may differ
from the method used with respect to preparation of quarterly
reports. The AlphaKeys Fund will adopt the accrual method for
tax accounting purposes or any other accounting method
permitted by the Code which the Administrator determines in
its sole discretion is in the best interests of the AlphaKeys Fund.
RISK FACTORS AND An investment in the AlphaKeys Fund (and its investment in the
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Underlying Fund) is speculative and involves significant risks
and potential conflicts of interest, certain of which are
described in more detail in CERTAIN RISK FACTORS below and
"Certain Risk Factors Relating to Millennium USA" and
"Certain Risk Factors Relating to an Investment in the Master
Partnership" in the Underlying Fund Memorandum.
An investment in the AlphaKeys Fund entails special tax risks.
See SUMMARY OF TERMS: "Summary of Taxation."
The Underlying Fund is not registered as an investment
company under the 1940 Act and, therefore, the AlphaKeys
Fund is not able to avail itself of the protections of the 1940
Act with respect to the Underlying Fund.

The investment activities of the Administrator, the Underlying
Fund Manager and the portfolio managers it retains, and their
respective affiliates, for their own accounts and the other
accounts they manage, may give rise to conflicts of interest
that may disadvantage the AlphaKeys Fund. The AlphaKeys
Fund's operations may give rise to other conflicts of interest.

II. CERTAIN RISK FACTORS
Prospective Investors should carefully consider the risks involved in an investment in the
AlphaKeys Fund and in the Underlying Fund, including, but not limited to, those discussed
below. Prospective Investors should consult their own legal, tax and financial advisors as to
all of these risks and an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund generally. Prospective Investors
should refer to "Certain Risk Factors Relating to Millennium USA" and "Certain Risk Factors
Relating to an Investment in the Master Partnership" in the Underlying Fund Memorandum
for more detailed risks related to the AlphaKeys Fund's investment in the Underlying Fund.
Risks Associated With the Structure of the AlphaKeys Fund
Risk of a Single Investment. The investment performance of the AlphaKeys Fund will
depend almost entirely on the performance of the Underlying Fund, over which neither the
AlphaKeys Fund nor the Administrator will have any control. The AlphaKeys Fund will not
hedge the risks of any of the Underlying Fund's investments and the Administrator does not
intend to take any defensive actions in the event of declining performance or asset losses at
the Underlying Fund. As a result, the AlphaKeys Fund's investment performance could be
materially worse than would be the case if the AlphaKeys Fund could diversify investments
among asset classes or hedge investment risks, or if the Underlying Fund itself were
diversified among asset classes.
Layering of Fees. Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, each Investor shall pay
to the Administrator a monthly Administrative Fee as set forth above in SUMMARY OF
TERMS: "Fees and Expenses." The Administrative Fee is in addition to and separate from the
Underlying Fund Performance Allocation, other fees and expenses of the Underlying Fund
borne by the AlphaKeys Fund due to its status as a limited partner of the Underlying Fund,
and the retention of appropriate reserves therefor as determined in the sole discretion of the
Administrator, and in addition to the fees and expenses paid to other third parties engaged
on behalf of the AlphaKeys Fund. Therefore, Investors of the AlphaKeys Fund bear two
levels of fees, and investments by Investors in the AlphaKeys Fund are not investments in the
Underlying Fund on a dollar-for-dollar basis. The returns for an investor in the Underlying
Fund will depend on the timing and actual amount invested in the Underlying Fund and the
performance thereof, as well as the timing and amount of capital contributed to the
Underlying Fund and held in Temporary Investments and the performance thereof. Investors
meeting minimum investment criteria set forth in the Underlying Fund Memorandum may
invest directly in the Underlying Fund without incurring fees and expenses of the AlphaKeys
Fund; however, direct interests in the Underlying Fund are not offered pursuant to this
Memorandum or by UBS.
Potential Adverse Effects of Being Treated as a Single Investor in the Underlying Fund. The
AlphaKeys Fund will hold a single interest in the Underlying Fund, and each Investor's
indirect investment in the Underlying Fund will not be represented by a separate interest in
the Underlying Fund. Therefore, the Underlying Fund Performance Allocation made in
respect of the AlphaKeys Fund's investment in the Underlying Fund is based on the
performance of the AlphaKeys Fund's investment as a whole and not upon the performance
of a particular Investor's indirect investment in the Underlying Fund. Similarly, early
withdrawal charges, if any, charged by the Underlying Fund and other withdrawal-related
-25-
MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001238
EFTA00236884
provisions may be based on the withdrawal by the AlphaKeys Fund as a whole and not
upon the withdrawal by a particular Investor. An Investor may not be able to make a
withdrawal from the AlphaKeys Fund at times and in the amounts that a direct investor in
the Underlying Fund would have been able to withdraw. As a result, additional investments
in the AlphaKeys Fund, by new or existing Investors, and withdrawals from the AlphaKeys
Fund, which will generally require additional capital contributions or withdrawals, as the
case may be, to or from the Underlying Fund, may in certain circumstances create
distortions in the economic benefits and detriments of an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund
for different Investors. An existing Investor's indirect share of a loss carryforward
established with respect to a contribution by the AlphaKeys Fund into the Underlying Fund
may effectively be diluted by new capital contributions to the AlphaKeys Fund made by
other Investors or by a withdrawal from the Underlying Fund in connection with
withdrawals from the AlphaKeys Fund by other Investors. Thus, an existing Investor's
indirect share of such loss carryforward will effectively be diluted by any new capital
contributions in the AlphaKeys Fund. See "Allocation of Gains and Losses" in Part One of
the Underlying Fund Memorandum.
In addition, the Underlying Fund may issue additional classes, tranches or series of
Underlying Fund Interests to investors in the Underlying Fund in order to track participation
in "new issues" as defined under the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
Inc Investors should be aware that even if one or more Investors are eligible to invest in
"new issues," the AlphaKeys Fund expects to invest in a class, tranche or series of
Underlying Fund Interests which does not participate in "new issues."
In the sole discretion of the Administrator, any withdrawal by an Investor may be subject to
a charge, as the Administrator may reasonably require, in order to defray the costs and
expenses of the AlphaKeys Fund in connection with such withdrawal, including but not
limited to the Early Withdrawal Charge and any amounts paid or accrued by the AlphaKeys
Fund vis-à-vis its investment in the Underlying Fund.
No Recourse Against the Underlying Fund. Investors of the AlphaKeys Fund will not be
investors in the Underlying Fund, will have no direct interest in the Underlying Fund and will
have no standing or recourse against the Underlying Fund or its affiliates, including the
Underlying Fund Manager.
No Rights to Vote or Participate. The AlphaKeys Fund has limited voting rights in
connection with its interests in the Underlying Fund (as further described in "U.S. Bank
Holding Company Act" in "REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS"). The AlphaKeys Fund's
voting rights, if any, will be exercised by the Administrator on the AlphaKeys Fund's behalf,
without seeking instruction from any Investor. The Underlying Fund invests in multiple sub-
strategies, which may change, and has changed, from time to time. None of the AlphaKeys
Fund, UBS Americas, Inc. or any of their affiliates has the right to participate in the control,
management or operations of the Underlying Fund, nor has any discretion over the
investments of the Underlying Fund.
Side Letters and Other Agreements with Clients. The Administrator may enter into side
letters or other similar agreements with a particular Investor without the approval of other
Investors of the AlphaKeys Fund. Any such side letter would have the effect of establishing
MAXWELL -26-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001239
EFTA00236885
rights under, altering or supplementing the terms of the AlphaKeys Fund Agreement or the
Investor Application with respect to such Investor in a manner different from, and possibly
more favorable to, such Investor than those applicable to other Investors. Such rights or
terms in any such side letter or similar agreement may include, without limitation,
(i) different notice periods or minimum initial and continuing investment amounts, (ii) the
agreement of the Administrator to extend certain information rights or additional diligence,
valuation or reporting rights to such Investor, including, without limitation, to accommodate
special regulatory or other circumstances of such Investor, (iii) waiver or modification of
certain confidentiality obligations of such Investor, (iv) waiver or modification of certain fee
obligations of such Investor, (v) consent of the Administrator to certain transfers by such
Investor or other exercises by the Administrator of its discretionary authority under the
AlphaKeys Fund Agreement in certain respects for the benefit of such Investor,
(vi) restrictions on, or special rights of such Investor with respect to the activities of the
Administrator and its affiliates, (vii) special rights of such Investor with respect to
withdrawals, (viii) additional obligations and restrictions on the Administrator and the
AlphaKeys Fund with respect to the structuring of investments in light of the legal, tax and
regulatory considerations of such Investor or (ix) other rights or terms necessary in light of
particular legal, regulatory, public policy or other characteristics of such Investor. The terms
of any such side letter or similar agreement will not be disclosed to other Investors unless
the Administrator, in its sole discretion, otherwise determines. Any rights or terms so
established in a side letter with an Investor will govern solely with respect to such Investor.
To the extent determined appropriate by the AlphaKeys Fund, an Investor that enters into a
side letter or other agreement may be issued a new class, tranche or series (or sub-series) of
Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund.
Unregistered Status. None of the AlphaKeys Fund, the Underlying Master Fund nor the
Underlying Fund is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company
Ad. The Investment Company Ad provides certain protections to Investors and imposes
certain restrictions on registered investment companies, none of which will be applicable to
the AlphaKeys Fund.
Termination of the AlphaKeys Fund's Interest in the Underlying Fund. The Underlying Fund
may, among other things, force the withdrawal of the AlphaKeys Fund's interest in the
Underlying Fund at any time. In addition, the Administrator may determine at any time,
subject to the restrictions on withdrawals from the Underlying Fund, to terminate the
AlphaKeys Fund's investment in the Underlying Fund.
Repayment of Capital and Distributions. The investors and former investors of the
Underlying Fund, including the AlphaKeys Fund, shall be liable for the repayment and
discharge of all debts and obligations of the Underlying Fund attributable to any fiscal year
(or relevant portion thereof) during which they are or were investors of the Underlying Fund
to the extent of their respective interests in the Underlying Fund in the fiscal year (or
relevant portion thereof) to which any such debts and obligations are attributable. In
meeting this obligation, the AlphaKeys Fund may be required to return to the Underlying
Fund any amounts actually received by it from the Underlying Fund during or after the fiscal
year to which any debt or obligation is attributable. In addition, the AlphaKeys Fund may be
required to pay to the Underlying Fund amounts that are required to be withheld by the
Underlying Fund for tax purposes. The AlphaKeys Fund may require Investors to return to
MAXWELL -27-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001240
EFTA00236886
the AlphaKeys Fund all or part of any distribution by the AlphaKeys Fund to the Investors in
order to satisfy all or any portion of the AlphaKeys Fund's indemnification obligations.
Similarly, Investors may be required in certain circumstances to repay or pay such amounts
to the AlphaKeys Fund if the AlphaKeys Fund is unable otherwise to meet its obligations or
as otherwise provided in the AlphaKeys Fund Agreement.
In addition, if at any time following a withdrawal of all or a portion of an Investor's capital
account, the Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, that the amount paid to an
Investor or former Investor pursuant to such withdrawal was incorrect for any reason,
including but not limited to (i) a determination by the Administrator that the amount paid to
the AlphaKeys Fund pursuant to a withdrawal from the Underlying Fund was incorrect and
the Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, that such amount should be allocated to
such Investor or former Investor, or (ii) a determination by the Administrator, that the
calculation of Net Asset Value was incorrect at the time such amount was paid to such
Investor or former Investor, the AlphaKeys Fund may pay to such Investor or former Investor
any additional amount that the Administrator determines such Investor or former Investor
should have been entitled to receive, or, in its sole discretion, seek payment from such
Investor or former Investor of the amount of any excess payment that the Administrator
determines such Investor or former Investor received, in each case without interest,
although, in its sole discretion, the Administrator may determine for any reason or no
reason that such action is not feasible or practicable. In the event that the AlphaKeys Fund
elects not to seek the payment of such amounts from an Investor or former Investor or is
unable to collect such amounts from an Investor or former Investor, the Net Asset Value of
the AlphaKeys Fund will be less than it would have been had such amounts been collected.
Involuntary Liquidation of an Investor's Interest. The AlphaKeys Fund may terminate the
interest of any Investor in the AlphaKeys Fund at any time upon written notice to such
Investor, for any reason or for no reason at all.
Reports. The AlphaKeys Fund intends to deliver to Investors (i) audited annual financial
reports of the AlphaKeys Fund as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the AlphaKeys
Fund's fiscal year and (ii) such information as is necessary for such Investors to complete
federal and state income tax or information returns. However, the AlphaKeys Fund may
deliver unaudited annual financial reports in its sole discretion. If the AlphaKeys Fund does
deliver audited reports, such annual audit can be completed only once the AlphaKeys Fund
receives audited financial statements for the same fiscal year from the Underlying Fund.
Consequently, it is possible that audited annual financial reports of the AlphaKeys Fund may
be completed later than would otherwise be the case. For the AlphaKeys Fund to complete
its tax reporting requirements, it must receive information on a timely basis from the
Underlying Fund. It is expected that the AlphaKeys Fund will most likely be unable to
provide tax information to Investors without significant delays and Investors may need to
seek extensions on the time to file their tax returns at the federal, state and local level.
Quarterly reports from the Administrator regarding the AlphaKeys Fund's operations during
such period also may be sent to Investors.
Classes of Interests in the Underlying Fund are Not Separate Legal Entities. Although
Investors of the Underlying Fund, including the AlphaKeys Fund and certain Other
AlphaKeys Millennium Funds, may hold separate classes of interests of the Underlying Fund,
MAXWELL -28-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001241
EFTA00236887
the Underlying Fund is a single legal entity and creditors of the Underlying Fund may
enforce claims against all assets of the Underlying Fund. Thus, all assets of the Underlying
Fund may be available to meet all liabilities of the Underlying Fund regardless of whether
any particular liability is attributable to only one or less than all classes or series of shares
(e.g., currency hedges). As an investor in the Underlying Fund, the AlphaKeys Fund may be
subject to these same risks with respect to the Underlying Fund Interests.
Idle Funds. The AlphaKeys Fund may retain a portion of the subscription proceeds that will
not be invested in the Underlying Fund, to meet certain of its operating expenses.
Reserves. The AlphaKeys Fund may establish reserves for the payment of estimated,
projected or accrued expenses (including the Administrative Fee), liabilities and
contingencies. Such amounts set aside in a reserve will not be invested in the Underlying
Fund (or repaid to Investors that have otherwise withdrawn from the AlphaKeys Fund), and
accordingly, will not participate in the returns (positive or negative) of the Underlying Fund.
Lack of ()aerating History. The AlphaKeys Fund is a newly formed entity and has no
operating history upon which Investors can evaluate the performance of the AlphaKeys
Fund, although the Underlying Master Fund has a performance track record that begins in
1990. Although the Administrator will receive information from the Underlying Fund
regarding its historical performance and investment strategy, the Administrator may not be
able to independently verify and has not independently verified this information. The
performance of the Underlying Fund cannot be relied upon as an indicator of the Underlying
Fund's future performance or their success.
Liquidity Risks. Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund will not be traded on any securities
exchange or other market and are subject to substantial restrictions on transfer. The ability
of the AlphaKeys Fund to honor withdrawal requests will be dependent upon the AlphaKeys
Fund's ability to make withdrawals from the Underlying Fund, which may be restricted
under the Underlying Fund Documents, delayed or suspended altogether. Furthermore, in
the sole discretion of the Administrator, any withdrawal by an Investor may be subject to a
charge, as the Administrator may reasonably require, in order to defray the costs and
expenses of the AlphaKeys Fund in connection with such withdrawal, including without
limitation, any amounts paid or accrued by the AlphaKeys Fund vis-à-vis its investment in the
Underlying Fund, withdrawal or similar charges imposed by the Underlying Fund Manager, if
any (which may be substantial). In addition, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may
permit an Investor to make withdrawals at different times, and upon different terms, than
those specified in "SUMMARY OF TERMS — Withdrawals". The Administrator may also, in
its sole discretion, permit an Investor to withdraw from the AlphaKeys Fund, or cause the
AlphaKeys Fund, upon an Investor's request, to repurchase, some or all of such Investor's
Interests at a discount to the Net Asset Value of the withdrawn or repurchased Interests, at
a time when such Investor is not otherwise entitled to withdraw from the AlphaKeys Fund.
In addition, the Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, to make such an offer to
one or more Investors and not to the other Investors, and may do so without notice to the
other Investors.
No Assurance of Investment Return. The AlphaKeys Fund is intended for long-term
Investors who can accept the significant risks associated with investing in illiquid securities.
-MAXWELL -29-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001242
EFTA00236888
There can be no assurance that either of the AlphaKeys Fund or the Underlying Fund will
achieve its investment objective. Investors should be aware that prior performance of the
Underlying Fund is not necessarily indicative of future results. The possibility of partial or
total loss of AlphaKeys Fund capital will exist, and prospective Investors should not subscribe
unless they can readily bear the consequences of such loss. Accordingly, an investment in
the AlphaKeys Fund should only be considered by persons who can afford a loss of their
entire investment.
Withdrawal Risks. With respect to withdrawal requests, Investors must notify the AlphaKeys
Fund upon the notice period set forth in "SUMMARY OF TERMS — Withdrawals" or upon
such other notice period, which may be longer, as may be notified to the Members, in the
Manager's sole discretion. An Investor that elects to withdraw all or a portion of such
Investor's capital account will not know the amount it will receive until after the election to
withdraw has been made. It is possible that during the time period between the withdrawal
notice date and the Withdrawal Date, general economic and market conditions, or specific
events affecting the AlphaKeys Fund, could cause a decline in the value of Interests.
Forward-Looking Statements. This Memorandum and the Underlying Fund Memorandum
may contain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the
Administrator's or the Underlying Fund Manager's view with respect to future events.
Actual events could differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a
result of factors beyond the Administrator's or the Underlying Fund Manager's control.
Prospective Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements.
Valuation Risk. The assets of the AlphaKeys Fund will be valued in accordance with GAAP
or another methodology determined appropriate by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
Based on current GAAP requirements, the Administrator expects to rely on valuation
information provided by the Underlying Fund (which will be unaudited, except for
information as of the date of the Underlying Fund's semiannual audits), which if inaccurate
or incomplete could adversely affect the Administrator's ability to determine net asset value
and, accordingly, value the Interests accurately. In certain circumstances, the Administrator
may be required by GAAP to make adjustments to the valuation information provided by
the Underlying Fund. Absent bad faith or manifest error, valuation determinations made by
the Administrator will be conclusive and binding.
Legal and Regulatory Risks Relating to Investment Strateay. Legal, tax and regulatory
changes could occur during the term of the AlphaKeys Fund that may adversely affect the
AlphaKeys Fund and/or the Underlying Fund. New (or revised) laws or regulations may be
imposed by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC"), the SEC, the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") or other banking
regulators, other U.S. or non-U.S. governmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory
organizations, including entirely new entities, that supervise the financial markets that could
adversely affect the AlphaKeys Fund or the Underlying Fund. In particular, these agencies
are empowered to promulgate a variety of new rules pursuant to recently enacted financial
reform legislation in the United States. The AlphaKeys Fund and the Underlying Fund may
also be adversely affected by changes in the enforcement or interpretation of existing
statutes and rules by these governmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory
organizations. The regulatory environment for private funds is evolving, and changes in the
MAXWELL -3O-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001243
EFTA00236889
regulation of private funds may adversely affect the value of the investments held by the
AlphaKeys Fund and/or the Underlying Fund and the ability of the AlphaKeys Fund and/or
the Underlying Fund to execute its investment strategy. The CFTC, the SEC, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, other regulators and self-regulatory organizations and
exchanges are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of market emergencies.
In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-
Frank Act") became law in the U.S. The regulation of private funds and financial institutions
is an evolving area of law and is subject to modification by government and judicial
action. As part of the Dodd-Frank Act, Section 13 of the BHC Act (known as the "Volcker
Rule") restricts the ability of banking entities, such as UBS and its affiliates, to sponsor,
acquire any interest in or engage in transactions with most private investment funds beyond
certain narrowly-prescribed limits. Regulations fully implementing the Volcker Rule were
finalized in December 2013. The banking entities subject to the Volcker Rule must fully
comply with it by July 21, 2015. The impact of the final regulations on the AlphaKeys Fund
remains uncertain and the Volcker Rule could cause disruptions and otherwise negatively
impact any funds whose ownership, counterparties and/or service provider arrangements
currently include a banking entity, including any funds in which the AlphaKeys Fund may
invest. The structure of the AlphaKeys Fund is intended to place it outside of the control of
UBS and therefore the AlphaKeys Fund should not be a banking entity that is itself subject
to the Volcker Rule. The Volcker Rule is new and therefore open to varying
interpretations. The Administrator may in the future, in its sole discretion and without
notice to the Investors, restructure the AlphaKeys Fund or the Administrator in order to
comply with laws or regulations (including the BHC Act), or to reduce or eliminate the
impact or applicability of any bank regulatory restrictions to which the Administrator or the
AlphaKeys Fund may become subject.
Under the Volcker Rule, UBS can "sponsor" or manage hedge funds and private equity
funds, such as the AlphaKeys Fund, only if certain conditions are satisfied. Among other
things, these Volcker Rule conditions generally prohibit banking entities (including UBS and
its affiliates) from engaging in "covered transactions" and certain other transactions with
hedge funds or private equity funds that are managed by affiliates of the banking entities,
or with investment vehicles controlled by such hedge funds or private equity funds.
"Covered transactions" include loans or extensions of credit, purchases of assets and certain
other transactions (including derivative transactions and guarantees) that would cause the
banking entities or their affiliates to have credit exposure to funds managed by their
affiliates. In addition, the Volcker Rule requires that certain other transactions between UBS
and such entities be on "arms' length" terms. The AlphaKeys Fund does not expect to
engage in such transactions with UBS to any material extent and, as a result, the prohibition
on covered transactions between UBS and the AlphaKeys Fund is not expected to have a
material effect on the AlphaKeys Fund. In addition, the Volcker Rule prohibits any banking
entity from engaging in any activity that would involve or result in a material conflict of
interest between the banking entity and its clients, customers or counterparties, or that
would result, directly or indirectly, in a material exposure by the banking entity to high-risk
assets or high-risk trading strategies. As noted above, under the Volcker Rule, UBS can
"sponsor" and manage hedge funds and private equity funds only if certain conditions are
satisfied. While UBS intends to satisfy these conditions, if for any reason UBS is unable to, or
satisfy these conditions or any other conditions under the Volcker Rule, then
-MAXWELL -31-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001244
EFTA00236890
UBS may no longer be able to sponsor the AlphaKeys Fund. In such event, the structure,
operation and governance of the AlphaKeys Fund may need to be altered such that UBS is
no longer deemed to sponsor the AlphaKeys Fund or, alternatively, the AlphaKeys Fund may
need to be terminated.
It is impossible to determine the extent of the impact of any new laws, regulations or
initiatives that may be proposed, or whether any of the proposals will become law.
Compliance with any new laws or regulations could be more difficult and expensive and
may affect the manner in which the AlphaKeys Fund and/or the Underlying Fund conducts
business. Furthermore, new laws or regulations may subject the AlphaKeys Fund, the
Underlying Fund or some or all of the Investors to increased taxes or other costs.
Tax Risks. The AlphaKeys Fund expects to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes and not as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation.
It is possible that the AlphaKeys Fund may not be able to comply with any safe harbor
requirements of or an exception to the publicly traded partnership rules in any given year, in
which case it is possible that the AlphaKeys Fund may be treated as a publicly traded
partnership. If it were determined that the AlphaKeys Fund should be treated as an
association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation, the taxable income of
the AlphaKeys Fund would be subject to corporate income tax and distributions from the
AlphaKeys Fund would be treated as dividends to the extent of the AlphaKeys Fund's
earnings and profits. Each of the Underlying Fund and any applicable investment vehicles
through which it may invest intend to operate as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax
purposes and not as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation.
If it were determined that either the Underlying Fund or any applicable investment vehicles
through which it may invest should be treated as an association or publicly traded
partnership taxable as a corporation, material adverse income tax consequences would
result to Investors in the AlphaKeys Fund.
The AlphaKeys Fund may, from time to time, report tax positions that may be subject to
challenge by the Internal Revenue Service (the "Ijaa"). If the IRS challenges such a position
and is successful, there may be substantial retroactive taxes, plus interest and possibly
penalties.
Changes or modifications in existing judicial decisions or in the current positions of the IRS,
either taken administratively or as contained in published revenue rulings and revenue
procedures, and the passage of new legislation (any of which may apply with retroactive
effect), could substantially reduce, eliminate or modify the tax treatment outlined in this
Memorandum.
If the Underlying Fund or the Underlying Master Fund conducts business or other activities in
a given state or local jurisdiction, then an Investor that is not a resident of that jurisdiction
may nevertheless be subject to tax in that jurisdiction on its share of the AlphaKeys Fund's
income attributable to those activities and may be required to file income tax or other
returns in that jurisdiction. Investors may also be subject to state and/or local franchise,
withholding, capital gain or other tax payment obligations and filing requirements in those
jurisdictions where the AlphaKeys Fund is regarded as doing business or earning income
(directly or indirectly). See "Certain Tax Matters Relating to an Investment in Millennium

USA" and "Certain Tax Matters Relating to the Master Partnership" in Part One of the
Underlying Fund Memorandum and "TAX ASPECTS" in this Memorandum.
Bank Holding Company Act Considerations. The Administrator is, for purposes of the BHC
Act, a subsidiary of UBS AG, which is subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal
Reserve. It is not expected that UBS AG will be deemed to control the AlphaKeys Fund for
purposes of the BHC Ad. In discharging its responsibilities as the Administrator, the
Administrator and the AlphaKeys Fund will observe limitations arising from the BHC Act
applicable to the Administrator or the AlphaKeys Fund. To the extent it deems it advisable
under the BHC Ad, the Administrator also intends to seek the approval from the Investors
by negative consent with respect to any vote presented by the Underlying Fund if the
AlphaKeys Fund holds an interest in the Underlying Fund of more than 24.99% of the total
capital contributions to the Underlying Fund or where such consent or waiver pertains to the
selection, approval or disposition of portfolio company investments (other than investments
in depository institutions or other financial companies where the lower threshold, noted
above, would apply). The AlphaKeys Fund expects to vote in accordance with the
Administrator's recommendations on such matters unless at least a majority of the Investors
duly object. If the AlphaKeys Fund holds an interest in the Underlying Fund of more than
24.99% of the total capital contributions to the Underlying Fund, the AlphaKeys Fund
intends to limit its participation in any depository institution or other financial company to
not more than 9.99% of any class of voting securities thereof. The Administrator intends to
request that the Underlying Fund limit the AlphaKeys Fund's ownership interest in the
Underlying Fund to not more than one-third of the total capital contributions of the
Underlying Fund. In addition, the AlphaKeys Fund expects to refrain from voting on the
selection, approval or disposition of any investment in any depository institution or other
financial company to the extent it deems advisable to do so under the BHC Act. The
Administrator reserves the right to rely on any regulatory or statutory provisions and
available exemptions under the BHC Act, and to take all reasonable steps deemed
necessary, advisable or appropriate in its sole discretion for the AlphaKeys Fund or the
Administrator to comply with such regulatory or statutory provisions. (See "REGULATORY
CONSIDERATIONS—Bank Holding Company Ad" below.) In the event of any change to the
BHC Act, or applicable regulations and interpretations under the BHC Act, the Administrator
may, without the consent of any Investor, take such additional steps as it deems necessary,
advisable or appropriate in its sole discretion for the AlphaKeys Fund or the Administrator to
comply with the BHC Act, including restructuring the AlphaKeys Fund or the Administrator.
There can be no assurance that the bank regulatory requirements applicable to UBS AG will
not likewise apply to the AlphaKeys Fund and therefore have a material adverse effect on
the AlphaKeys Fund and its operations. For example, such regulations could require the
AlphaKeys Fund to dispose of its investment in the Underlying Fund or the dissolution of the
AlphaKeys Fund earlier than anticipated by the Administrator, potentially having a negative
impact on the returns of the AlphaKeys Fund. (See "REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS—
Bank Holding Company Ad" below.)
The foregoing risks do not purport to be a complete explanation of all the risks involved in
acquiring an interest in the AlphaKeys Fund or in the Underlying Fund. Potential Investors
should read this entire document as well as the AlphaKeys Fund Agreement before making
a determination whether to invest in the AlphaKeys Fund.

III. POTENTIAL CONFUCTS OF INTEREST
Prospective Investors should carefully consider the potential conflicts of interest involved in
an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund and in the Underlying Fund, including, but not limited
to, those discussed below. Prospective Investors should refer to "Related-Party Transactions;
Conflicts" in the Underlying Fund Memorandum for more detailed conflicts of interest
related to an investment in the Underlying Fund.
The Administrator and its affiliates manage the assets of unregistered investment companies
and individual accounts (collectively "AlphaKeys Clients"). The AlphaKeys Fund has no
interest in these activities. In addition, the Administrator, its affiliates, and any of their
respective officers, directors, partners, members or employees, may invest for their own
accounts in various investment opportunities, including in investment partnerships, private
investment companies or other investment vehicles in which the AlphaKeys Fund will have
no interest. The Administrator, the Placement Agent and their affiliates have a conflict of
interest in that they benefit from the sale of Interests. See "Application for Interests"
below.
The Administrator provides all of its administrative and advisory services through the efforts
of employees of its affiliate, UBSFS, which is also a registered investment adviser. All of the
Administrator's officers and other personnel are employees of UBSFS. The Administrator
does not pay overhead or payroll directly. All of the Administrator's officers and other
personnel are paid fully by UBSFS. As a result, a reallocation is made internally from the
Administrator to UBSFS to reimburse it for various expenses that UBSFS covers on behalf of
the Administrator.
The officers or employees of the Administrator will be engaged in substantial activities other
than on behalf of the AlphaKeys Fund and may have conflicts of interest in allocating their
time and activity among the AlphaKeys Fund and AlphaKeys Clients. In addition, the
Administrator and/or its affiliates may now or in the future serve as administrator or
placement agent to one or more similar funds managed by the Underlying Fund Manager or
an affiliate or successor thereof. As a result, the Administrator may have conflicting interests
with respect to such service. The affiliates of the Administrator may invest (or cause their
clients to invest) in one or more funds managed by the Underlying Fund Manager, and
thereby affect the AlphaKeys Fund's ability to invest into the Underlying Fund (for example,
where the size of the aggregate investment by the affiliates and the Administrator is
limited). The Administrator and their officers and employees will devote so much of their
time to the affairs of the AlphaKeys Fund as in their judgment is necessary and appropriate.
The Administrator may appoint a committee or an independent representative (the
"Conflicts Review Committee") to seek the approval in connection with any transactions
that require approval under the Advisers Act, including Section 206(3) thereunder, or
otherwise. To the extent permitted by law, the approval of the Conflicts Review Committee
will be binding upon the AlphaKeys Fund and each of the Investors. The Conflicts Review
Committee will not participate in the management or control of the AlphaKeys Fund. The
AlphaKeys Fund may pay the members of the Conflicts Review Committee an initial fee and
a fee for each review sought by the Administrator. The members of the Conflicts Review
Committee will be treated as if they were the Administrator for indemnification purposes.

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001247
EFTA00236893
UBSFS acts as the principal placement agent for the AlphaKeys Fund, without additional or
separate compensation from the AlphaKeys Fund (other than the Placement Fee which may
be payable by Investors as described above), and will bear its own costs associated with its
activities as placement agent. The Administrator and this placement agent intend to
compensate the placement agent's or its affiliates' financial advisors, as well as third-party
securities dealers and other industry professionals, for their ongoing servicing of clients with
whom they have placed Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund and such compensation will be
based upon a formula that takes into account the amount of client assets being serviced as
well as the investment results attributable to the clients' assets in the AlphaKeys Fund.
Additionally, these entities, at their discretion, may charge Investors placement fees based
on the purchase price of Interests being purchased.
UBSFS or its affiliates may provide brokerage, investment banking and other financial or
advisory services from time to time to one or more accounts or entities managed by the
Underlying Fund Manager or its affiliates. These relationships could preclude the AlphaKeys
Fund from engaging in certain transactions and could constrain the AlphaKeys Fund's
investment flexibility. (All other accounts managed by the Underlying Fund Manager or its
affiliates, excluding the Underlying Fund, are referred to collectively as the "Millennium
Accounts.")
The Administrator, its affiliates or AlphaKeys Clients may have an interest in an account or
investment vehicle managed by, or enter into relationships with, the Underlying Fund
Manager or its affiliates on terms different, and potentially more favorable, than an Interest
in the AlphaKeys Fund. The Underlying Fund also may purchase investments from affiliates
of the Administrator, which could create a potential conflict of interest for the
Administrator, although the Administrator will at all times endeavor to act in the best
interest of the AlphaKeys Fund. In addition, the Underlying Fund Manager may receive
research products and services in connection with the brokerage services that the
Administrator and its affiliates may provide from time to time to one or more Millennium
Accounts or to the AlphaKeys Fund.
In addition, certain affiliates of the Administrator may act as a lender to the Underlying
Fund, the portfolio companies in which the Underlying Fund invests or in connection with
other transactions in which the Underlying Fund is involved. In cases where the Underlying
Fund is the borrower, such UBS affiliate acting as a lender will have the ability to call capital
from the Underlying Fund, which in turn may call capital from the AlphaKeys Fund. In such
cases where the Underlying Fund's portfolio companies are the borrowers, such portfolio
companies may convey a security interest in certain assets (including assets of the
Underlying Fund), to such affiliate acting as a lender to a portfolio company of the
Underlying Fund and such affiliate may have a liquidation preference over the Underlying
Fund or may have interests that are divergent from those of the Underlying Fund. In
addition, affiliates of the Administrator may purchase or sell assets to or from the
Underlying Fund.
The Administrator is registered as a "commodity pool operator" with the CFTC and is a
member of the National Futures Association ("NFA") in such capacity under the U.S.
Commodity Exchange Act, as amended. With respect to the AlphaKeys Fund, the
Administrator has claimed an exemption pursuant to CFTC Rule 4.7 for relief from certain
MAXWELL -35-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001248
EFTA00236894
requirements applicable to a registered commodity pool operator. The CFTC does not pass
upon the merits of participating in a pool or upon the adequacy or accuracy of an offering
memorandum. Consequently, the CFTC has not reviewed or approved this Memorandum
or any offering in connection therewith.

EFTA00236895
IV. BROKERAGE
Each of the AlphaKeys Fund and the Underlying Fund is directly responsible for the
execution of its portfolio investment transactions and the allocation of brokerage.
Transactions on U.S. stock exchanges and on some non-U.S. stock exchanges involve the
payment of negotiated brokerage commissions. On the great majority of non-U.S. stock
exchanges, commissions are fixed. No stated commission is generally applicable to securities
traded in over-the-counter markets, but the prices of those securities may include
undisclosed commissions or mark-ups. The AlphaKeys Fund will comply with Section 28(e)
of the 1934 Act. However, the AlphaKeys Fund may not pay the lowest available
commissions or mark-ups or mark-downs on securities transactions. Moreover, neither the
Administrator or the AlphaKeys Fund have any responsibility to monitor the Underlying
Fund's policy regarding, or its compliance with, its duty of best execution, including, if
applicable, its compliance or non-compliance with the safe harbor provided by Section
28(e). See "The Master Partnership's Investment Program and Description: Brokerage" in
Part Two of the Underlying Fund Memorandum for a description of the brokerage policies
and selection by the Underlying Fund.

V. APPLICATION FOR INTERESTS
Application Terms
Both initial and additional applications for Interests may be accepted from eligible investors
(as described below) at such times as the Administrator may determine on the terms set
forth below. The AlphaKeys Fund may, in its discretion, suspend the offering of Interests at
any time or permit applications on a more frequent basis. The AlphaKeys Fund reserves the
right to reject any application for Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund. Capital contributions
made prior to any closing, including the initial closing, the timing of which will be
determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, may be held in an escrow or similar
account pending such closing at the discretion of the Administrator. It is possible that such
account will not earn interest. After the initial closing, initial applications and additional
capital contributions generally will be accepted monthly. Generally, the minimum required
initial contribution to the capital of the AlphaKeys Fund from each Investor is $250,000,
which minimum may be waived by the Administrator in its sole discretion. Investors may
make additional capital contributions in amounts not less than $50,000, unless otherwise
determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The AlphaKeys Fund, in its sole
discretion, may vary the investment minimums from time to time. Brokerage Class Investors
will be charged by the Placement Agent a Placement Fee of 2% of the Investor's capital
contribution (including any additional capital contributions made by an Investor) in the
AlphaKeys Fund (subject to waiver by the Placement Agent in limited circumstances).
Advisory Class Investors will not be charged a Placement Fee.
Contributions to the capital of the AlphaKeys Fund will be payable in cash. The AlphaKeys
Fund will not accept subscriptions from charitable remainder trusts. See TAX ASPECTS.
Each new Investor will be obligated to agree to be bound by all of the terms of the
AlphaKeys Fund Agreement. Each potential Investor also will be obligated to represent and
warrant in the Investor Application (defined below) that, among other things, such Investor
is purchasing an Interest for its own account, and not with a view to the distribution,
assignment, transfer or other disposition of such Interest.
Classes. Tranches and Series of Interests
The AlphaKeys Fund may create additional classes, tranches or series of Interests, or rename
or redesignate any issued class, tranche or series, without providing prior notice to, or
receiving consent from, Investors. Such classes, tranches or series may differ in terms,
including, but not limited to, the amount and/or timing of fees charged (and may provide
for no fees), minimum subscription amounts and withdrawal rights. The terms of any new
classes, tranches or series will be determined by the Administrator.
Eligible Investors
Each prospective Investor will be required to certify that the Interests being purchased are
being acquired directly or indirectly for the account of an "accredited investor" as defined in
-38-
MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001251
EFTA00236897
Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act (each, an "Accredited Investor") and that
such Investor, as well as each of the Investor's equity owners under certain circumstances, as
applicable, at the time of purchase, is a "qualified purchaser" as defined in Section
2(a)(51XA) of the 1940 Act (each, a "Qualified Purchaser"), unless otherwise permitted by
law. Existing Investors who purchase additional Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund and
transferees of Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund may be required to represent that they meet
the foregoing eligibility criteria at the time of the additional purchase or transfer. The
relevant Investor qualifications will be set forth in an investor application to be provided to
prospective Investors, which must be completed by each prospective Investor (the "Investor
Application").

VI. TAX ASPECTS
Certain Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the IRS in Circular 230, you
are hereby informed that any tax advice contained in this Memorandum (i) is
written in connection with the promotion or marketing by the AlphaKeys Fund of the
transactions or matters addressed herein and (ii) is not intended or written to be used,
and cannot be used, by any taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding penalties under
the Code. Each taxpayer should seek advice based on the taxpayer's particular
circumstances from an independent tax advisor.
The following is a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax
considerations relating to an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund by prospective Investors.
The discussion herein is intended to supplement the disclosure in the Underlying Fund
Memorandum. Investors are urged to review "Certain Tax Matters Relating to an
Investment in Millennium USA" and "Certain Tax Matters Relating to the Master
Partnership" in the Underlying Fund Memorandum and to consult with their tax advisors
to fully understand the tax consequences of an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund.
This summary is based upon the Code, the U.S. Treasury regulations ("Treasury
Regulations") promulgated thereunder, published rulings, court decisions and other
applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to
change or differing interpretations (possibly with retroactive effect). This summary does
not purport to address all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be
relevant to the AlphaKeys Fund or to all categories of Investors, some of whom may be
subject to special rules (including, without limitation, dealers in securities or currencies,
financial institutions or "financial services entities," life insurance companies, holders of
Interests held as part of a "straddle," "hedge," "constructive sale" or "conversion
transaction" with other investments, U.S. persons whose "functional currency" is not the
U.S. dollar, persons who have elected "mark to market" accounting, persons who have
not acquired their Interests upon their original issuance, persons who hold their Interest
through a partnership or other entity which is a pass-through entity for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, persons that are not U.S. Persons (as defined below), and persons
for whom an Interest is not a capital asset). In addition, this summary does not discuss
any state, local or foreign tax laws that may be applicable to an Investor. The AlphaKeys
Fund has not sought a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of legal counsel as to any tax
matters, and no representation is made as to the tax consequences of an investment in the
AlphaKeys Fund.
For purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. Person" or a "U.S. Investor" is (1) a citizen
or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation
for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized under the laws of the United
States or any state thereof, including the District of Columbia, (3) an estate the income of
which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source or (4) a trust which
(a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or
more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b)
has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S.
-40-

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001253
EFTA00236899
person. In some cases, the activities of an Investor other than its investment in the
Alpha Keys Fund may affect the tax consequences to such Investor of an investment in the
Alpha Keys Fund.
Treatment as Partnership. It is intended that the Alpha Keys Fund will be treated
as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not as an association or
"publicly traded partnership" taxable as a corporation. No rulings have been, or will be,
requested from the IRS and no assurance can be given that the IRS or the courts will
concur with such treatment.
An entity that would otherwise be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes may nonetheless be taxable as a corporation if it is a "publicly traded
partnership." A partnership which meets certain safe harbor requirements or certain other
exceptions is not subject to the "publicly traded partnership" rules. It is possible that the
AlphaKeys Fund may not be able to comply with any safe harbor requirements of or an
exception to the publicly traded partnership rules in any given year, in which case it is
possible that the AlphaKeys Fund may be treated as a publicly traded partnership. If it
were determined that the AlphaKeys Fund should be treated as an association or publicly
traded partnership taxable as a corporation, the taxable income of the AlphaKeys Fund
would be subject to corporate income tax and distributions from the AlphaKeys Fund
would be treated as dividends to the extent of the AlphaKeys Fund's earnings and profits.
The Underlying Fund Manager intends that the Underlying Fund and the Underlying
Master Fund each will operate as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and
not as an association taxable as a corporation. In addition, the Underlying Fund Manager
intends that each of the Underlying Fund and the Underlying Master Fund will not be
treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. However, because the Manager does not control the Underlying Fund and
the Underlying Master Fund, there can be no assurance in this regard. If it were
determined that either the Underlying Fund or the Underlying Master Fund should be
treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation, material
adverse income tax consequences would result to Investors in the AlphaKeys Fund.
The remainder of this discussion assumes that each of the AlphaKeys Fund, the
Underlying Fund and the Underlying Master Fund will be treated as a partnership for U.S.
federal income tax purposes.
As a partnership, the AlphaKeys Fund generally will not be subject to U.S. federal
income tax. Rather, each Investor will be required to report on its U.S. federal income tax
return, and thus to take into account in determining its own U.S. federal income tax
liability, its share of the AlphaKeys Fund's income, gains, losses, deductions and credits for
the taxable year ending with or within such Investor's taxable year. An Investor's U.S.
federal income tax liability will be determined with reference to its share of the AlphaKeys
Fund's income, regardless of whether the AlphaKeys Fund receives any distributions from
the Underlying Fund or the Investor receives any distributions from the AlphaKeys Fund.
The AlphaKeys Fund is not required, and does not intend, to make distributions to an
Investor to cover the U.S. federal income, state or other tax liability of such Investor with
' allocable share of AlphaKeys Fund income and gain. Accordingly, a non-
AXWELL -41-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001254
EFTA00236900
withdrawing Investor may be required to use cash from other sources in order to pay tax
on its taxable income that is attributable to its Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund.
Allocation of the AlphaKeys Fund's Profits and Losses. For U.S. federal
income tax purposes, income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the AlphaKeys Fund
will generally be allocated to the Investors in a manner consistent with the overall
economic arrangement among the Investors. It is possible that the IRS will seek to
reallocate certain items in a manner different from the manner in which such items were
allocated by the AlphaKeys Fund. The AlphaKeys Fund may specially allocate items of
taxable income and gain or loss and deduction to a withdrawing Investor. This special
allocation to or from a withdrawing Investor could result in Investors (including the
withdrawing Investor) receiving more or less items of income, gain, deduction or loss
(and/or income, gains, deductions or losses of a different character) than they would
receive in the absence of such allocations. There can be no assurance that, if the
AlphaKeys Fund makes such a special allocation, the IRS will accept such allocation. If
such allocation were successfully challenged by the IRS, the AlphaKeys Fund's income and
gains allocable to the remaining Investors could be increased or decreased.
Nature of the AlphaKeys Fund's Income and Losses. The AlphaKeys Fund's
income, gains, losses, deductions and credits for any taxable year will consist almost
entirely of the AlphaKeys Fund's share of the income, gains, losses, deductions and credits
of the Underlying Fund (which items will be derived by the Underlying Fund primarily from
the Underlying Master Fund) for the taxable year of the Underlying Fund ending with or
within the AlphaKeys Fund's taxable year.
The Underlying Fund and the Underlying Master Fund have made an election
described in Section 475(f) of the Code (the "mark-to-market election"). The mark-to-
market elections apply to all years of the Underlying Fund and the Underlying Master Fund
unless revoked with the consent of the IRS. As a result of the Underlying Fund's and the
Underlying Master Fund's mark-to-market election, the AlphaKeys Fund will generally be
required to recognize ordinary gain or loss on all of the securities held by the Underlying
Master Fund and the Underlying Fund at the end of each taxable year as if the Underlying
Master Fund and the Underlying Fund have sold such securities for their fair market value
on the last business day of such taxable year and notwithstanding that such securities may
have been eligible for capital asset treatment in the absence of the mark-to-market
election. Further, any gain or loss recognized on the sale or redemption of such securities
generally would be ordinary.
Limitations on an Investor's Deduction of the AlphaKeys Fund's Losses and
Expenses. Various limitations may apply to restrict the deductibility of losses realized, and
expenses incurred, by the AlphaKeys Fund through its interest in the Underlying Fund. An
Investor's share of any such losses will be allowed only to the extent of the adjusted basis
of the Investor's Interest in the AlphaKeys Fund.
Section 163(d) of the Code limits a non-corporate taxpayer's deduction for
"investment interest" to the amount of "net investment income," as defined therein. This
limitation could apply to limit the deductibility of a non-corporate Investor's indirect share
of the AlphaKeys Fund's interest deductions, as well as the deductibility of interest paid by
II -MAXWELL -42-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001255
EFTA00236901
a non-corporate Investor on indebtedness incurred to finance his or her investment in the
AlphaKeys Fund. Otherwise allowable deductions in connection with short sales are
treated as "investment interest" for purposes of this limitation.
Certain of the AlphaKeys Fund's direct expenses (including the Administrative Fee)
will, and it is possible that some or all of the AlphaKeys Fund's allocable share of the
Underlying Fund's expenses (including any management or similar fees paid by the
Underlying Fund and its share of such fees paid by the Underlying Master Fund) may, be
investment expenses rather than trade or business expenses, with the result that any non-
corporate Investor (directly or through a partnership or other pass-through entity) will be
entitled to deduct his or her share of such investment expenses only to the extent that
such share, together with such non-corporate Investor's other miscellaneous itemized
deductions, exceeds 2% of such non-corporate Investor's adjusted gross income.
Moreover, investment expenses are not deductible in determining income for alternative
minimum tax purposes. In addition, in the case of individuals whose adjusted gross
income exceeds certain inflation-adjusted thresholds, the aggregate itemized deductions
allowable for the year will be reduced by the lesser of (i) 3% of the excess of adjusted
gross income over the applicable threshold or (ii) 80% of the aggregate itemized
deductions otherwise allowable for the taxable year (determined after giving effect to the
2% limitation described above and any other applicable limitations).
As a result of Revenue Ruling 2008-39 (the "Ruling"), it is possible that the IRS will
treat the Underlying Fund as an investor in securities and other assets even if the
Underlying Master Fund is properly treated as a trader in securities and other assets. In
the Ruling, the IRS concludes that, in certain circumstances, which are generally applicable
to a "fund of funds" structure, an upper tier partnership whose activities consist solely of
acquiring, holding, and disposing of interests in several lower tier partnerships will not be
deemed to be engaged in a trade or business solely as a result of the trade or business
conducted by the lower tier partnership and that the fees paid by the upper tier
partnership constitute miscellaneous items deductions subject to limitations described
above. The Ruling does not clearly address the treatment of the upper tier partnership
and management fees charged by the upper tier partnership in a "master feeder"
structure. If this structure is within the rationale of the Ruling, the expenses charged at
the Underlying Fund level will be treated as miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to
limitations described above.
Expenses that are attributable to the offering and sale of interests in the AlphaKeys
Fund must be capitalized and cannot be deducted or amortized. The AlphaKeys Fund will
be deemed to have made an election to amortize organizational expenses over a 180-
month period for tax purposes unless the AlphaKeys Fund timely elects to capitalize such
expenses. Prospective Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors with regard to
these and other limitations on their ability to deduct losses and expenses with respect to
the AlphaKeys Fund.
Passive Activity Rules. The Code restricts the deductibility of losses from a
"passive activity" against certain income not derived from a passive activity. This
restriction applies to individuals, personal service corporations and certain closely held
corporations. Pursuant to temporary Treasury Regulations, income or loss derived by the
MAXWELL -43-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001256
EFTA00236902
AlphaKeys Fund from the securities portfolio of the Underlying Fund and the Underlying
Master Fund generally will not constitute income or loss from a passive activity. Therefore,
passive losses from other sources generally could not be deducted against an Investor's
share of such income and gain. However, there can be no assurance in this regard and it is
possible that some or all of the income of the AlphaKeys Fund may constitute passive
income or loss.
U.S. Tax-Exempt Investors Tax-exempt organizations are generally subject to
U.S. federal income tax on a net basis on their unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI.").
UBTI is defined generally as any gross income derived by a tax-exempt organization from
an unrelated trade or business that it regularly carries on, less the deductions directly
connected with that trade or business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, UBTI generally
does not include any dividend income, interest income (or certain other categories of
passive income) or capital gains recognized by a tax-exempt organization so long as such
income is not debt-financed, as discussed below. UBTI also includes certain insurance
income derived by controlled foreign corporations if a tax-exempt organization is a United
States shareholder with respect to such corporation.
A tax-exempt entity deriving gross income characterized as UBTI that exceeds
$1,000 in any taxable year is obligated to file a federal income tax return, even if it has no
liability for that year as a result of deductions against such gross income, including an
annual $1,000 statutory deduction.
The exclusion from UBTI for dividends, interest (or other passive income) and capital
gains does not apply to income from "debt-financed property," which is treated as UBTI
to the extent of the percentage of such income that the average acquisition indebtedness
with respect to the property bears to the average tax basis of the property for the taxable
year. Gain attributable to the sale of previously debt-financed property continues to be
subject to these rules for 12 months after any acquisition indebtedness is satisfied. If the
AlphaKeys Fund, the Underlying Fund or the Underlying Master Fund incurs acquisition
indebtedness, a tax-exempt U.S. Investor would be deemed to have acquisition
indebtedness equal to its allocable portion of such acquisition indebtedness. If a tax-
exempt U.S. Investor incurs indebtedness to acquire its Interest, such indebtedness
generally would also be treated as acquisition indebtedness.
The Underlying Fund Memorandum provides that a portion of the Underlying
Fund's income may be treated as UBTI, and therefore the AlphaKeys Fund may generate
UBTI as well (which will be significant if the Underlying Fund generates significant UBTI, as
it has in previous years).
The potential for having income characterized as UBTI may have a
significant effect on any investment by a tax-exempt entity in the AlphaKeys
Fund and may make investment in the AlphaKeys Fund unsuitable for some tax-
exempt entities. Tax-exempt Investors should consult their own tax advisors
regarding all aspects of UBTI.
Withdrawal of Investors. In general, when an Investor withdraws from the
AlphaKeys Fund, the withdrawing Investor will recognize gain only as and after the cash
vIAXWELL -44-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001257
EFTA00236903
(or certain marketable securities) distributed upon withdrawal exceeds the Investor's
adjusted tax basis in its Interest. A withdrawing Investor that receives only cash on a
complete withdrawal from the AlphaKeys Fund will recognize a loss to the extent that its
adjusted tax basis in its Interest exceeds such cash. Any such loss may be recognized only
after such Investor has received full payment in respect of its withdrawal amount. If an
Investor withdraws less than its entire Interest, the Investor will not recognize a loss, if any,
until its Interest is completely withdrawn. Any capital gain or loss recognized will be short-
term, long-term, or some combination of both, depending upon the timing of the
Investor's contributions to the AlphaKeys Fund.
Moreover, in connection with a withdrawal from the AlphaKeys Fund, an Investor
may recognize ordinary income or loss attributable to the Investor's indirect share of
certain assets of the AlphaKeys Fund described in Section 751(c) of the Code. In addition,
it is possible that Investors may recognize ordinary income or loss in connection with a
withdrawal from the AlphaKeys Fund as a result of the Underlying Fund's and Underlying
Master Fund's mark-to-market election. Investors should consult their own tax advisors
about the character of any gain or loss recognized on withdrawal from the AlphaKeys
Fund.
As discussed above, the AlphaKeys Fund may specially allocate items of taxable
income and gain or loss and deduction to a withdrawing Investor. This special allocation
to or from a withdrawing Investor could result in Investors (including the withdrawing
Investor) receiving more or less items of income, gain, deduction or loss (and/or income,
gains, deductions or losses of a different character) than they would receive in the absence
of such allocations.
Adjustments to Basis of AlphaKeys Fund Assets. rhe AlphaKeys Fund
Agreement authorizes the Administrator in its capacity as the Manager to make an
election to adjust the tax basis of the AlphaKeys Fund's assets in the event of a transfer of
an Interest or of certain distributions by the AlphaKeys Fund. The Underlying Fund
Documents contain similar provisions. Such election to adjust tax basis, once made,
cannot be revoked without the consent of the IRS. Because of the complexity and added
expense of the tax accounting required to implement such election, the Administrator, on
behalf of the AlphaKeys Fund, and the Underlying Fund Manager on behalf of the
Underlying Fund (according to the Underlying Fund Memorandum), presently do not
intend to make this election. In certain circumstances, however, the AlphaKeys Fund or
the Underlying Fund, or both, may be required to reduce the tax basis of their assets as a
result of a transfer of an Interest or as a result of certain distributions. Transferors and
transferees of Interests, and Investors making withdrawals from the AlphaKeys Fund, will
in certain circumstances be required to provide information to the Administrator to enable
the AlphaKeys Fund to comply with this requirement.
Information Returns and Schedules. Investors will be furnished information on
Schedule K-1 for preparation of their respective U.S. federal income tax returns. The
furnishing of such information is subject to, among other things, the timely receipt by the
AlphaKeys Fund of information from the Underlying Fund. It is expected that the
AlphaKeys Fund's Schedule K-1s will most likely not be available prior to April 15
AAXWELL -45-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001258
EFTA00236904
(and may be available significantly later than April 15) and, accordingly, Investors
would need to obtain extensions for the filing of their individual tax return.
Tax Matters Partner I he Administrator, in its capacity as the Manager of the
AlphaKeys Fund, or an affiliate thereof, will be designated as the AlphaKeys Fund's "tax
matters partner."
Audits. The tax treatment of income and deductions of the Underlying Fund
generally will be determined at the Underlying Fund level in a single proceeding, which the
tax matters partner of the Underlying Fund will control, rather than by individual audits of
the members of the Underlying Fund, including the AlphaKeys Fund. Similarly, the tax
treatment of income and deductions of the AlphaKeys Fund generally will be determined
at the AlphaKeys Fund level in a single proceeding, which the Administrator as tax matters
partner of the AlphaKeys Fund will control, rather than by individual audits of the Investors
of the AlphaKeys Fund. If the IRS audits the Underlying Fund's or the AlphaKeys Fund's
tax returns, however, an audit of the Investors' own returns may result.
Reporting and Listing Requirements A direct or indirect participant in any
"reportable transaction" may be required to disclose certain information in respect of such
participation and such transaction to the IRS on IRS Form 8886. For purposes of the
disclosure rules, a partner, in certain cases, may be treated as a participant in a reportable
transaction in which its partnership participates. It is possible that the Underlying Fund
and/or the AlphaKeys Fund will participate in one or more reportable transactions, and the
AlphaKeys Fund and certain or all of the Investors may be required to report these
transactions on IRS Form 8886. In addition, a withdrawal from the AlphaKeys Fund will be
reportable by the withdrawing Investor if the Investor recognizes a loss on the withdrawal
that equals or exceeds an applicable threshold amount. Failure to comply with the
reporting requirements gives rise to substantial penalties. Certain states, including New
York, may also have similar disclosure requirements. Investors should consult their tax
advisors to determine whether filing Form 8886 in accordance with the disclosure rules is
required. In addition, if the AlphaKeys Fund engages in certain tax shelter transactions,
tax-exempt investors may be subject to additional tax and reporting requirements.
Prospective Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors with regard to these
rules.
FATCA. Very generally and with limited exceptions, pursuant to Section 1471
through 1474 of the Code and any current and future guidance thereunder ("FATCA"), if
an investor fails to meet new requirements, including information, diligence and/or
reporting requirements, that are mandated by FATCA, certain U.S. source income and
potentially certain non-U.S. source income attributable to such investor will, in general, be
subject to a 30% withholding tax. The U.S. source income with respect to which the 30%
withholding applies includes interest (including original issue discount), whether or not the
interest would qualify as "portfolio interest", dividends, compensation and gross proceeds
realized upon the sale or other disposition of any property which can produce U.S. source
interest or dividends ("Withholdable Payments"). The withholding tax will be phased in
beginning July 1, 2014 (with gross proceeds subject to the withholding tax after December
31, 2016).
MAXWELL -46-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001259
EFTA00236905
The AlphaKeys Fund will withhold at a 30% rate on Withholdable Payments (and
potentially on payments of non-U.S. source income) attributable to an Investor if the
Investor fails to provide the AlphaKeys Fund with sufficient information, certification or
documentation that is required under FATCA, including information, certification or
documentation necessary for the AlphaKeys Fund to (i) determine if the Investor is a non-
U.S. Investor or a U.S. Investor and, if it is a non-U.S. Investor, if the non-U.S. Investor has
"substantial United States owners" and/or is in compliance with (or meets an exception
from) FATCA requirements and (ii) comply with the withholding requirements of FATCA.
The AlphaKeys Fund, the Underlying Fund and the Underlying Master Fund may disclose
the information, certifications or documentation provided by investors to the IRS, the
Treasury or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA.
Furthermore, the Underlying Master Fund will be subject to a 30% withholding tax
with respect to Withholdable Payments and potentially certain non-U.S. source income if it
fails to timely enter into and continue to comply with a valid agreement with the Secretary
of the Treasury in which the Underlying Master Fund agrees to obtain and verify certain
information from each of its investors and comply with annual reporting requirements
with respect to certain direct or indirect U.S. investors ("FFI Agreement") or does not
otherwise comply with the requirements of an applicable intergovernmental agreement
entered into by the IRS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such withholding tax may still be
applicable unless each applicable member of the same expanded affiliated group, if any,
as the Underlying Master Fund also enters into and complies with the FFI Agreement,
applicable intergovernmental agreement or qualifies for an exception. Any investor
(including the Underlying Fund) that fails to provide the Underlying Master Fund with the
required information could, generally, be subject to the 30% withholding tax on the U.S.
source payments described above and, possibly, on a portion of non-U.S. source
payments, and in some cases, the Underlying Master Fund could require an investor to
withdraw from the Underlying Fund.
The scope of some of the requirements of and exceptions from FATCA are complex
and remain potentially subject to material changes resulting from additional IRS guidance.
Investors are urged to consult their advisers about the FATCA rules (some but not all of
which are described above) that may be relevant to their investment in the AlphaKeys
Fund.
Medicare Contribution Tax. The Code imposes a 3.8% Medicare contribution tax
on the "net investment income" (as defined in Section 1411 of the Code and the
regulations thereunder) of individuals whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts
and of certain trusts and estates under similar rules. Investors are advised to consult their
tax advisers regarding the possible implications of this additional tax on their investment in
the AlphaKeys Fund.
Certain Federal Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Investors. The U.S. federal
income tax treatment of a nonresident alien, non-U.S. corporation, non-U.S. partnership,
non-U.S. estate or non-U.S. trust, each a "non-U.S. investor," investing in the AlphaKeys
Fund is complex and will vary depending upon the circumstances and activities of the non-
U.S. investor, the AlphaKeys Fund, the Underlying Fund, and the Underlying Master Fund.
An investment in the AlphaKeys Fund may cause such non-U.S. investors to be subject to a
MAXWELL -47-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001260
EFTA00236906
withholding tax, tax on a net basis and to be required to file U.S. federal income tax
returns (and could also subject such person to U.S. state and local tax and return filing
requirements). Each non-U.S. investor is urged to consult with its own tax advisor
regarding the U.S. and non-U.S. tax treatment of an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund.
Implications of Non-U.S. Investments
Certain non-U.S. investments of the Underlying Fund and the Underlying Master
Fund, including investments in "controlled foreign corporations" and "passive foreign
investment companies" ("PFICs") may cause an Investor to recognize taxable income prior
to the AlphaKeys Fund's receipt of distributable proceeds, pay an interest charge on receipts
that are deemed to have been deferred or recognize ordinary income that otherwise would
have been treated as capital gain.
The Underlying Fund and the Underlying Master Fund may make investments that
subject the AlphaKeys Fund and/or the Investors directly or indirectly to taxation and/or tax-
filing obligations in non-U.S. jurisdictions, including withholding taxes on dividends, interest
and proceeds. In particular, the Underlying Fund's and the Underlying Master Fund's non-
U.S. investments may cause some of the income or gains of the AlphaKeys Fund to be
subject to withholding or other taxes of non-U.S. jurisdictions, and could result in taxation
on net income attributed to the jurisdiction if the AlphaKeys Fund were considered to be
conducting a trade or business in the applicable country through a permanent establishment
or otherwise. Such non-U.S. taxes and/or tax filing obligations may be reduced or
eliminated by applicable income tax treaties, although Investors should be aware that the
AlphaKeys Fund may not be entitled to claim reduced withholding rates on non-U.S. taxes
or may choose not to assert any such claim. The tax consequences to Investors may depend
in part on the activities and investments of the AlphaKeys Fund, as well as the Underlying
Fund and the Underlying Master Fund. Accordingly, the AlphaKeys Fund will be limited in
its ability to avoid adverse non-U.S. tax consequences resulting from the AlphaKeys Fund's
underlying investments. Furthermore, some Investors may not be eligible for certain or any
treaty benefits. Subject to applicable limitations, an Investor may be entitled to claim, for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, a credit for its allocable share of certain non-U.S. income
taxes incurred by the AlphaKeys Fund, including certain withholding taxes, so long as such
non-U.S. tax qualifies as a creditable income tax under the applicable Treasury Regulations.
Alternatively, an Investor may be able to deduct (subject to certain limitations) its share of
such non-U.S. taxes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
In general, Investors that are U.S. persons may be required to report to the IRS
transfers of property or cash by the Underlying Fund to a non-U.S. corporation or
partnership (such as the Underlying Master Fund), in exchange for interests in such non-U.S.
entities and may be required to file information returns with the IRS with respect to non-
U.S. investments made by the Underlying Fund and the Underlying Master Fund.
New law requires each U.S. shareholder of a PFIC to file an annual information return
with the IRS (regardless of whether the U.S. shareholder has received a distribution from,
disposed of an interest in, or made an election in respect of a PFIC). A U.S. shareholder that
qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under certain provisions of the Code will not be
required to file this annual information return as long as the income with respect to the PFIC
would not constitute UBTI. This filing requirement is in addition to any pre-existing
reporting requirements with respect to interests in a PFIC (although in certain cases relief for
NM -MAXWELL -48-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001261
EFTA00236907
duplicative filings has been provided, if certain conditions are met). Investors should consult
with their own tax advisers with respect to this new reporting requirement and any other
reporting requirement that may apply.
For additional information regarding the tax considerations of non-U.S. investments,
including Cayman Islands tax considerations that may apply to an investment in the
AlphaKeys Fund, Investors are strongly urged to refer to "Certain Tax Matters Relating to an
Investment in Millennium USA" and "Certain Tax Matters Relating to the Master
Partnership" in Appendix A and to consult with their own tax advisers.
State and Local Tax Considerations
In addition to the U.S. federal income tax consequences described above,
prospective Investors should consider the potential state and local tax consequences of an
investment in the AlphaKeys Fund. In particular, Investors may be subject to state and
local taxes in jurisdictions in which the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Master Fund or
the AlphaKeys Fund acquires certain investments or conducts its activities and may be
required to file tax returns in those jurisdictions. In certain jurisdictions, the Underlying
Fund, the Underlying Master Fund and/or the AlphaKeys Fund may be required to
withhold certain state and/or local or other taxes on behalf of Investors. State and local
tax laws may differ from U.S. federal income tax laws with respect to the treatment of
specific items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit. Prospective Investors should
consult their tax advisors with respect to the state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of
an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund.
For additional information regarding the taxation of the AlphaKeys Fund, the
Underlying Fund and the Underlying Master Fund, investors are strongly urged to
refer to "Certain Tax Matters Relating to an Investment in Millennium USA" and
"Certain Tax Matters Relating to the Master Partnership" in the Underlying Fund
Memorandum.
Importance of Obtaining Professional Advice
The foregoing analysis is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.
Accordingly, prospective Investors in the AlphaKeys Fund are strongly urged to consult
their tax advisors with specific reference to their own situations regarding the possible tax
consequences of an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund.

VII. CERTAIN ERISA AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The following section sets forth certain issues and consequences under ERISA, Section 4975
of the Code and the Plan Assets Rules, which a fiduciary of a "Benefit Plan Investor" (as
defined in the Plan Assets Rules and described below and including, without limitation, an
individual retirement account and a "Keogh" plan) who has investment discretion (a
"Fiduciary") should consider before deciding to invest such Benefit Plan Investor's assets in
the Alpha Keys Fund. Furthermore, all potential Investors should read the following
disclosure because it describes certain possible limitations on the operation of the AlphaKeys
Fund that may result from participation in the AlphaKeys Fund by Benefit Plan Investors.
The following summary is not intended to be complete, but only to address certain
questions under ERISA, the Code and the Plan Assets Rules relating to an investment in the
AlphaKeys Fund.
The term "Benefit Plan Investor" is defined under the Plan Assets Rules and generally
includes (i) "employee benefit plans" (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that are subject to
the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA, (ii) "plans" (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1)
of the Code) that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code, and (iii) entities that are deemed
to be holding the assets of such an "employee benefit plan" or "plan" for purposes of
ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code (but only to the extent of the percentage of the
equity interests in such entity that are held by Benefit Plan Investors).
ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are Fiduciaries of Benefit Plan
Investors. Under these rules, any person who exercises any discretionary authority or control
over the management or disposition of the assets of a Benefit Plan Investor, or renders
investment advice for a fee, directly or indirectly, is a Fiduciary with respect to the Benefit
Plan Investor. The Administrator will require a Benefit Plan Investor which proposes to invest
in the AlphaKeys Fund to represent that it, and any Fiduciaries responsible for such Benefit
Plan Investor's investments, are aware of and understand the AlphaKeys Fund's investment
objective, policies and strategies and that the decision to invest "plan assets" in the
AlphaKeys Fund was made with appropriate consideration of relevant investment factors
with regard to the Benefit Plan Investor and is consistent with the duties and responsibilities
imposed upon Fiduciaries with regard to their investment decisions under ERISA and/or the
Code.
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit a Benefit Plan Investor from
engaging in certain transactions involving "plan assets" with parties that are "parties in
interest" under ERISA or "disqualified persons" under the Code with respect to the Benefit
Plan Investor, unless the transaction is covered by a statutory exemption or a class or private
exemption issued by the Department of Labor. Certain prospective Benefit Plan Investors
may currently maintain relationships with the Administrator or other entities which are
affiliated with the Administrator. Each of such persons may be deemed to be a party in
interest or disqualified person to and/or a Fiduciary of any Benefit Plan Investor to which it
provides investment management, investment advisory or other services. ERISA prohibits
(and the Code penalizes) the use of "plan assets" for the benefit of a party in interest and
also prohibits (or penalizes) a Fiduciary from using its position to cause a Benefit Plan
Investor to make an investment from which it or certain third parties in which such Fiduciary
has an interest would receive a fee or other consideration. Benefit Plan Investors should
-50-
MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001263
EFTA00236909
consult with their own counsel to determine if participation in the AlphaKeys Fund is a
transaction which is prohibited by ERISA or the Code. Except with respect to the assets of
any Investor used to purchase the Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund which are invested as part
of the Investor's participation in the UBSFS Advisory Program, Fiduciaries of Benefit Plan
Investors will be required to represent that the decision to invest in the AlphaKeys Fund was
made by them as Fiduciaries (independent of such affiliated persons), that such Fiduciaries
are duly authorized to make such investment decision and that they have not relied on any
individualized advice or the recommendation of such affiliated persons, as a primary basis
for the decision to invest in the AlphaKeys Fund.
The Plan Assets Rules provide when the assets of an entity such as the AlphaKeys Fund will
be deemed to include "plan assets" as a result of an investment therein by Benefit Plan
Investors. The Plan Assets Rules generally provide, in relevant part, that the underlying
assets of an entity (that is neither a publicly-offered security nor a security issued by a
company registered under the Investment Company Act) in which a Benefit Plan Investor
makes an equity investment will be deemed, for purposes of ERISA, to be assets of the
investing Benefit Plan Investor, unless (i) interests in each class of equity interests of the
entity held by Benefit Plan Investors are not considered "significant" (as determined under
the Plan Assets Rules) or (ii) the entity qualifies as an "operating company" (as defined in
the Plan Assets Rules).
Under the Plan Assets Rules, equity participation in an entity will be considered "significant"
on any date if, immediately after the most recent acquisition of any equity interest in the
entity, 25% or more of the value of any class of its equity interests is held in the aggregate
by Benefit Plan Investors (calculated after disregarding the value of any equity interests held
by non-Benefit Plan Investors (or any affiliates thereof) who either (i) have discretionary
authority or control with respect to the assets of the entity, or (ii) provide direct or indirect
investment advice to the entity for a fee).
The Administrator will use reasonable efforts to limit investment in each class of Interests in
the AlphaKeys Fund by Benefit Plan Investors to a level that would not be considered
"significant" (as defined in the Plan Assets Rules), in order to prevent the AlphaKeys Fund
from being treated as holding "plan assets" (within the meaning of the Plan Assets Rules)
subject to ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code. If at any time the Administrator
determines that equity participation in the AlphaKeys Fund by Benefit Plan Investors would
be considered "significant" (as defined in the Plan Assets Rules), the Administrator will be
permitted to cause one or more Benefit Plan Investors to withdraw or reduce their Interests
to the extent necessary so that equity participation in the AlphaKeys Fund by Benefit Plan
Investors would not be considered "significant" (as defined in the Plan Assets Rules).
If the assets of the AlphaKeys Fund were determined to be "plan assets" under the Plan
Assets Rules, there could be a number of adverse consequences under ERISA and the Code.
For example, (i) if the AlphaKeys Fund were to engage in a transaction with a "party in
interest" or "disqualified person" with respect to any Benefit Plan Investor investing in the
AlphaKeys Fund which is not exempt under ERISA and/or the Code (such as borrowing from
an entity which is an affiliate of the sponsor of the Benefit Plan Investor or the leasing of
property to an affiliate of a sponsor of the Benefit Plan Investor), the transaction would be
prohibited under ERISA and/or the Code (and therefore subject to rescission), and such
-MAXWELL -51-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001264
EFTA00236910
affiliate, the trustee of the Benefit Plan Investor and the Administrator could be subject to
sanctions; (ii) under ERISA, the trustee of a Benefit Plan Investor (that is subject to ERISA) will
be subject to liability for any losses arising from a breach of fiduciary duty, except where the
breach is caused by a Fiduciary who is an appointed investment manager or who is
specifically named in the plan document governing the Benefit Plan Investor; (iii) the
Administrator could be deemed to be a Fiduciary of investing Benefit Plan Investors and the
trustee of such Benefit Plan Investors that are subject to ERISA could be liable for losses
because of the delegation of investment discretion to the Administrator without the benefit
of an investment management agreement or plan designation; and (iv) any Fiduciary that
exercises discretion to cause such Benefit Plan Investor to invest in the AlphaKeys Fund could
be liable as a co-Fiduciary.
A BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR AND ITS FIDUCIARY MUST CONSULT THEIR OWN LEGAL AND
FINANCIAL ADVISORS BEFORE INVESTING IN THE ALPHAKEYS FUND AND FULLY INFORM
THEMSELVES AS TO ALL PAYMENTS MADE IN CONNECTION WITH THE OPERATION OF THE
ALPHAKEYS FUND. BY INVESTING IN THE ALPHAKEYS FUND, THE FIDUCIARY SIGNIFIES ITS
INFORMED CONSENT TO ALL SUCH PAYMENTS BY THE ALPHAKEYS FUND TO THE
RECIPIENTS THEREOF AND TO THE RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE ALPHAKEYS
FUND.
The foregoing statements regarding the consequences under ERISA, the Code and the Plan
Assets Rules of an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund, are based on the provisions of ERISA,
the Code and the Plan Assets Rules as currently in effect and the existing administrative and
judicial interpretations thereunder. No assurance can be given that administrative, judicial
or legislative changes will not occur that will make the foregoing statements incorrect or
incomplete.
ACCEPTANCE OF SUBSCRIPTIONS ON BEHALF OF A BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR IS IN NO
RESPECT A REPRESENTATION BY THE ADMINISTRATOR OR ANY OTHER PARTY RELATED TO
THE ALPHAKEYS FUND THAT THIS INVESTMENT MEETS THE RELEVANT LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO INVESTMENTS BY ANY PARTICULAR BENEFIT PLAN
INVESTOR OR THAT THIS INVESTMENT IS APPROPRIATE FOR ANY PARTICULAR BENEFIT
PLAN INVESTOR. THE FIDUCIARY WITH INVESTMENT DISCRETION OVER THE ASSETS OF A
BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT WITH ITS LEGAL AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS AS
TO THE PROPRIETY OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE ALPHAKEYS FUND IN LIGHT OF THE
CIRCUMSTANCES OF SUCH BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR.
Employee benefit plans that are not subject to the requirements of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code may be subject to similar rules under other applicable laws or documents, and
should consult their own legal and financial advisors as to the propriety of an investment in
the AlphaKeys Fund.

VIII. REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
Securities Act of 1933
The offer and sale of Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund will not be registered under the 1933
Act, in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof
and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Each purchaser must be an Accredited Investor
(unless otherwise permitted by law) and will be required to represent, among other
customary private placement representations, that it is acquiring its interests in the
AlphaKeys Fund for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to
resale or distribution.
Investment Company Act of 1940
The AlphaKeys Fund will not be subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, in reliance upon
Section 3(cX7) thereof. Section 3(c)(7) excludes from the definition of "investment
company" any issuer whose outstanding securities are owned exclusively by Qualified
Purchasers. A Qualified Purchaser includes: (i) a natural person who owns not less than
$5,000,000 in investments, (ii) a natural person or company, acting for its own account or
the accounts of other Qualified Purchasers, who owns/invests on a discretionary basis not
less than $25,000,000 in investments, and (iii) certain trusts. The Investor Application and
the AlphaKeys Fund Agreement will each contain representations and restrictions on
transfer designed to assure that the conditions of Section 3(c)(7) will be met.
Investment Advisers Act of 1940
The Administrator is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act.
U.S. Commodity Exchange Act
The AlphaKeys Fund may indirectly through the Underlying Fund invest in commodity
interests. The Administrator is registered with the CFTC and the NFA as a "commodity pool
operator" and its status may be verified via the NFA's Background Affiliation Status
Information Center (BASIC) at www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet. All investors in the AlphaKeys
Fund must be "qualified eligible persons" as defined in applicable CFTC rules. The CFTC
does not pass upon the merits of participating in a pool or upon the adequacy or accuracy
of an offering memorandum. Consequently, the CFTC has not reviewed or approved this
Memorandum or any offering in connection therewith.
U.S. Bank Holding Company Act
The Administrator is, for purposes of the BHC Act, a subsidiary of UBS AG, which is subject
to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
("Federal Reserve"). It is not expected that UBS AG will be deemed to control the
AlphaKeys Fund for purposes of the BHC Act. There can be no assurance that the bank
regulatory requirements applicable to UBS AG will not likewise apply to the AlphaKeys Fund
and therefore have a material adverse effect on the AlphaKeys Fund and its operations. For
example, such regulations could require the AlphaKeys Fund to dispose of its investment in
-MAXWELL -53-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001266
EFTA00236912
the Underlying Fund earlier than anticipated by the Administrator or the dissolution of the
AlphaKeys Fund earlier than anticipated by the Administrator, potentially having a negative
impact on the returns of the AlphaKeys Fund.
The Administrator, UBS AG and the AlphaKeys Fund may be able to rely on other statutory
and regulatory provisions in order to maintain compliance with the BHC Act to the extent
applicable to the AlphaKeys Fund. The Administrator reserves the right to rely on any such
applicable exemptions and to take all reasonable steps deemed necessary, advisable or
appropriate in its sole discretion for the AlphaKeys Fund or the Administrator to comply with
the BHC Ad, including, without limitation, refraining from voting on matters presented by
the Underlying Fund and, if permitted, disposing of all or any portion of the AlphaKeys
Fund's investment in the Underlying Fund or any portfolio company that does not conform
to BHC Act requirements. The BHC Act and Federal Reserve regulations and interpretations
thereunder may be amended over the term of the AlphaKeys Fund, which could also result
in further restrictions on the activities or investments of the AlphaKeys Fund.

IX. ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING REGULATIONS
As part of the AlphaKeys Fund's responsibility to comply with regulations aimed at the
prevention of money laundering, the Administrator and its affiliates may require a detailed
verification of an Investor's identity, any beneficial owner underlying the account and the
source of the Investor's subscription payment.
The Administrator reserves the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the
identity of a subscriber and the underlying beneficial owners of a subscriber's or an
Investor's Interest in the AlphaKeys Fund. In the event of delay or failure by the subscriber
or Investor to produce any information required for verification purposes, the Administrator
may refuse to accept a subscription or may cause the withdrawal of such Investor from the
AlphaKeys Fund. The Administrator may suspend the payment of withdrawal proceeds of
an Investor if the Administrator reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-
money laundering regulations applicable to the AlphaKeys Fund, the Administrator or any of
the AlphaKeys Fund's other service providers.
Each Investor will be required to make such representations to the Administrator as the
Administrator will require in connection with such anti-money laundering programs,
including, without limitation, representations to the Administrator that such Investor is not a
prohibited country, territory, individual or entity listed on the U.S. Department of Treasury
Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") website and that it is not directly or indirectly
affiliated with any country, territory, individual or entity named on an OFAC list or
prohibited by any OFAC sanctions programs. Such Investor will also represent to the
Administrator that amounts contributed by it to the AlphaKeys Fund were not directly or
indirectly derived from activities that may contravene U.S. federal, state or international laws
and regulations, including, without limitation, anti-money laundering laws and regulations.

Interests.
There can be no assurance that the Underlying Fund will achieve its investment objective.
The return for an Investor in the Underlying Fund will depend on the timing and actual

timing and amount of capital contributed to the Underlying Fund and held in Temporary
Investments and the performance thereof. An Investor in the AlphaKeys Fund may suffer

This Confidential Memorandum relates to an offering of:
Class EE interests (the "Class EE Offered Interests"),
Class FF interests (the "Class FF Offered Interests," and together with the Class EE
Offered Interests, the "Offered Quarterly Interests"),
Class MM interests (the "Class MM Offered Interests"), and
Class NN interests (the "Class NN Offered Interests," and together with the Class MM
Offered Interests, the "Offered Annual Interests") of Millennium USA LP, a Delaware
limited partnership ("Millennium USA").
All references to "Offered Interests" in this Confidential Memorandum shall be deemed
to include the Offered Quarterly Interests and the Offered Annual Interests. The Offered
Quarterly Interests of each class generally have the same rights and characteristics, except that
the Class FF Offered Interests do not participate in gains and losses from "new issues" (as such
term is defined by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) and activities that Millennium
Management determines are related thereto. The Offered Annual Interests of each class
generally have the same rights and characteristics, except that the Class NN Offered Interests do
not participate in gains and losses from "new issues" and activities that Millennium Management
determines are related thereto.
The Offered Quarterly Interests generally may be withdrawn, in whole or in part, as of
the last day of each calendar quarter, subject to the timely receipt of a notice of withdrawal.
However, it should be noted that: (a) all withdrawals of Offered Quarterly Interests are subject to
a 25% quarterly limit (as described under "Millennium USA's Organization, Management,
MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001273
EFTA00236919
Structure, and Operations — Withdrawal Rights") that limits the amount any single limited
partner may withdraw on a single withdrawal date, and (b) withdrawals of Offered Quarterly
Interests occurring before the last day of the fourth full calendar quarter after purchase of such
Offered Interests will be subject to a charge equal to 4% of the withdrawal amount. The charge
described above will be allocated to Millennium USA for the benefit of the non-withdrawing
limited partners (which includes Millennium Management).
The Offered Annual Interests generally may be withdrawn, in whole or in part, as of the
last day of the fourth full fiscal quarter following the date such Offered Annual Interests were
purchased, and thereafter, as of each anniversary of such date, subject to timely receipt of a
notice of withdrawal. For purposes of determining the anniversary date, Offered Annual
Interests purchased (or deemed purchased) as of the first day of a quarter will be treated as if
invested for the full quarter (e.g., Offered Annual Interests issued on April 1, 2013 will have an
anniversary date of March 31, commencing March 31, 2014). Under normal circumstances,
there is no limit on the amount of Offered Annual Interests that may be withdrawn on any
withdrawal date and there are no charges for withdrawals of the Offered Annual Interests.
The Offered Interests are suitable only for sophisticated investors (i) that do not require
immediate liquidity for their investments, (ii) for which an investment in Millennium USA does
not constitute a complete investment program, and (iii) that fully understand and are willing to
assume the risks involved in Millennium USA's investment program. Millennium USA's
investment practices, by their nature, may be considered to involve a substantial degree of risk.
(See "Certain Risk Factors Relating to Millennium USA" and "Millennium USA's Investment
Program and Strategy"). Millennium USA carries out its investment and trading activities
primarily by investing in Millennium Partners, (the "Master Partnership"), a Cayman
Islands exempted limited partnership initially organized in 1989 as a Delaware limited
partnership, but it may also trade and invest part of its capital for its own account.
Prospective purchasers should carefully read this Confidential Memorandum in its entirety
(including both Part One, which discusses Millennium USA, and Part Two, which discusses the
Master Partnership). The contents of this Confidential Memorandum, however, should not be
considered legal or tax advice and each prospective purchaser should consult with its own counsel
and advisers as to all matters concerning an investment in Millennium USA.
There will be no public offering of the Offered Interests. No offer to sell (or solicitation
of an offer to buy) will be made in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation would be
unlawful.

Summary of Part One of the Confidential Memorandum
(Information Relating to Millennium USA LP)
The following is a summary of certain information set forth more fully in the Seventh
Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time
(the "Partnership Agreement"), or elsewhere in this Confidential Memorandum of Millennium
USA LP ("Millennium USA"). This summary should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified
in its entirety by, such detailed information and the other sections of this Confidential
Memorandum, including the sections entitled "Certain Risk Factors Relating to Millennium USA"
and "Certain Tax Matters Relating to an Investment in Millennium USA," as well as Part Two of
this Confidential Memorandum. In the event that any information in this summary contradicts the
Partnership Agreement, the Partnership Agreement will control.
The Partnership: Millennium USA is a Delaware limited partnership formed in
November 1997. Millennium USA primarily invests its capital
in Millennium Partners, M. (the "Master Partnership"). For a
more detailed description of Millennium USA and its
investment strategy, see "The Partnership" and "Millennium
USA's Investment Program and Strategy," below. For a
description of the Master Partnership, see Part Two of this
Confidential Memorandum. Investors in Millennium USA are
referred to herein as the "Limited Pariners."
I Dieresis Offered: This Confidential Memorandum relates to an offering of Class
EE interests (the "Class EE Offered Interests"), Class FF
interests (the "Class FF Offered Interests," and together with
the Class EE Offered Interests, the "Offered Quarterly
Interests"), Class MM interests (the "Class MM Offered
Interests"), and Class NN interests (the "Class NN Offered
Interests," together with the Class NN Offered Interests, the
"Offered Annual Interests") of Millennium USA. All
references to "Offered Interests" in this Confidential
Memorandum shall be deemed to include the Offered
Quarterly Interests and the Offered Annual Interests.
The Offered Quarterly Interests of each class generally have
the same rights and characteristics, except that the Class FF
Offered Interests do not participate in gains and losses from
"new issues" (as such term is defined by the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority) and activities that Millennium
Management determines are related thereto. The Offered
Annual Interests of each class generally have the same rights
and characteristics, except that the Class NN Offered Interests
do not participate in gains and losses from "new issues" and
activities that Millennium Management determines are related
thereto.

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001278
EFTA00236924
Each class of Offered Interests has three sub-classes. Sub-
class III of each class of Offered Interests is being offered
pursuant to this Confidential Memorandum. Sub-classes I and
II of each class of Offered Interests were issued in connection
with a conversion of existing interests and the sub-class issued
to a Limited Partner was based on the existing classes being
converted. Sub-classes I and II of each class of Offered
Interests have particular rights and obligations relating to
events that occurred prior to 2009, but otherwise are identical
to sub-class III of each class of Offered Interests. A
description of sub-classes I and II of each Class of Offered
Interests, together with a description of other classes of
interests of Millennium USA that are currently outstanding, is
set forth in Appendix I attached hereto.
The minimum initial subscription for an investment in
Millennium USA is $5,000,000 and subsequent subscriptions
may be made in $500,000 increments. Millennium
Management LLC ("Millennium Management"), the general
partner of Millennium USA and the general partner of the
Master Partnership, may permit Millennium USA to accept
subscriptions of lesser amounts or establish different
minimums in the future. Millennium Management reserves the
right to reject a subscription in its sole and absolute discretion.
Offered Interests generally will be sold only as of the first
business day of a calendar month; monies received prior to the
first business day of a calendar month will be held by
Millennium USA or its agent and a prospective purchaser will
not earn any interest on such monies or any return based on
Millennium USA's performance during the period prior to the
first business day of such month. In the sole and absolute
discretion of Millennium Management, subscriptions may be
accepted after the first business day of a calendar month,
including, without limitation, because the prospective
purchaser's subscription agreement and supporting
documentation were not deemed to be complete on the first
business day or because Millennium USA receives the
prospective investor's subscription monies subsequent to the
first business day. If Millennium Management elects, in its
sole discretion, to accept a subscription subsequent to the first
business day of a calendar month, for whatever reason, the
subscription will be deemed by Millennium Management, in
its sole discretion, to have been invested on the first business
day of such calendar month at the relevant subscription price
on such day. In such a situation, the prospective investor will,
unless otherwise agreed by Millennium Management, be
-MAXWELL I-2
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001279
EFTA00236925
subject to an interest charge at a daily rate determined by
Millennium USA for the portion of the month preceding the
date that subscription monies are received or the date
Millennium Management determines, in its sole discretion, that
the subscription agreement of such investor was compete, as
applicable, which will be assessed against the Offered Interests
of the applicable Limited Partner. See "Interests Offered;
Terms of the Offering — Interests Offered." For purposes of
this Confidential Memorandum, a business day is any day,
Monday through Friday, on which banks in New York City are
open for business.
Purchaser Qualifications: The Offered Interests are generally intended for prospective
purchasers that are "qualified purchasers" (as such term is
defined in Section 2(aX51) of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended), are taxable U.S. investors, and are persons
for which such an investment is otherwise appropriate.
As a condition to the acceptance of any subscription for
Offered Interests, each prospective purchaser will be required
to complete, to the satisfaction of Millennium Management
and GlobeOp Financial Services LLC, herein referred to as the
"Administrator," a signed subscription agreement
("Subscription Agreement") certifying these and other matters,
making certain representations and agreeing to certain terms in
a form to be provided by Millennium Management.
Millennium Management reserves the right to reject a
subscription in its sole and absolute discretion. If a
subscription is rejected, the unused subscription monies will be
returned, without interest, and at the risk and cost of the
applicant, to the applicant's account from which the monies
were originally remitted.
Millennium USA's The investment objective of Millennium USA is to achieve
Investment Program and above-average appreciation by opportunistically trading and
Strategy: investing in a wide variety of securities, instruments, and other
investment opportunities and engaging in a broad array of
trading and investment strategies. THERE ARE NO
SUBSTANTIVE LIMITS ON THE INVESTMENT
STRATEGIES THAT MAY BE PURSUED BY
MILLENNIUM USA. See "Millennium USA's Investment
Program and Strategy" and the entirety of Part Two of this
Confidential Memorandum.
As discussed in "Millennium USA's Investment Program and
Strategy," Millennium USA carries out its investment and
trading activities primarily by investing in the Master
-MAXWELL I-3
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001280
EFTA00236926
Partnership, but it also will trade and invest part of its capital
for its own account, when presented with investment
opportunities that are appropriate for it and its investors but
that may be inappropriate or not optimal (for tax or other
reasons) for other direct or indirect investors in the Master
Partnership. Similarly, such other investors may have the
benefit of investments inappropriate or not optimal for
Millennium USA; therefore, returns among Millennium USA
and other investment funds that invest in the Master
Partnership may differ.
Millennium USA may directly engage in any investment
activities in which the Master Partnership engages (as more
fully described in Part Two of this Confidential
Memorandum).
Certain Risk Factors: The investment program of the Master Partnership, and
therefore of Millennium USA, involves significant risks,
including the Master Partnership's reliance upon Millennium
Management (and portfolio managers selected by Millennium
Management), limitations on withdrawals, the use of leverage,
trading in derivative instruments, and conflicts of interest
related to investment opportunities and business activities
among the Master Partnership's affiliates and their
management. Prospective purchasers are urged to carefully
review the sections titled "Certain Risk Factors Relating to
Millennium USA" below and "Certain Risk Factors Relating
to an Investment in the Master Partnership" in Part Two of this
Confidential Memorandum.
"New Issues": The Class FF Offered Interests and the Class NN Offered
Interests (as well as certain other previously issued and
outstanding classes) will not participate in gains and losses
from "new issues" and activities that Millennium Management
determines are related thereto. Policies with respect to the
allocation of gains and losses from new issues and activities
that Millennium Management determines are related thereto
may be revised by Millennium Management at any time
without notice to investors. (See "Interests Offered; Terms of
the Offering—Treatment of New Issues.")
Sales Charges: Unless otherwise previously disclosed to an investor, there will
be no sales charges payable to Millennium USA or Millennium
Management in connection with the offering of Offered
Interests to that investor. To the extent any such charges are
applicable and paid from an investor's funds, the investor's
actual investment in the Offered Interests will be reduced.
Millennium Management or its affiliates may enter into, and
=IM -MAXWELL I-4
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001281
EFTA00236927
have from time to time entered into, agreements with
placement agents providing for payment by Millennium
Management or its affiliates of a portion of subscription
amounts, or providing for ongoing payments based on a
percentage of the Incentive Allocation due to Millennium
Management that is attributable to the interests of an investor
introduced by such placement agent or the payment of other
amounts to the placement agents.
Limitations on As described below under "Suitability Requirements;
Transferability: Limitations on Transferability of Interests of Millennium
USA," each investor will be required to agree (i) that no
Offered Interests, nor any interest therein, may be pledged,
transferred or assigned (each, a "Transfer") without the prior
consent of Millennium Management (except by operation of
law), which consent may be withheld in the discretion of
Millennium Management or made subject to such conditions
as may be imposed by Millennium Management in its sole
discretion, and (ii) that, prior to considering any request to
permit a transfer of Offered Interests, Millennium
Management may require the submission by the proposed
transferee of a certification as to the matters discussed in that
section under "— Suitability Requirements" as well as such
other documents, representations or undertakings as
Millennium Management and/or the Administrator, as
applicable, considers appropriate. Transferred interests
generally will be deemed to have been purchased as of the date
of the transfer for all purposes, including calculating the
Incentive Allocation (as defined herein) and determining Early
Withdrawal Charges, unless otherwise agreed to by
Millennium Management, in its sole discretion.
Millennium Management will not consent to any Transfer
other than a Transfer (i) in circumstances in which the tax
basis of the Offered Interest in the hands of the transferee is
determined, in whole or in part, by reference to its tax basis in
the hands of the transferor, (ii) to members of such Partner's
immediate family (brothers, sisters, spouse, parents and
children), or (iii) as a distribution from a qualified retirement
plan or an individual retirement account (each, a "Permissible
Transfer"), unless Millennium Management determines that
the proposed Transfer will not cause Millennium USA to be
treated as a "publicly traded partnership" taxable as a
corporation for Federal tax purposes. Without limiting the
foregoing, unless otherwise agreed to by Millennium
Management, Millennium Management generally does not
expect to consent to any Transfer (other than a Permissible
MAXWELL I-5
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001282
EFTA00236928
Transfer) unless the Transfer (i) is between existing limited
partners effective as of the beginning of the next fiscal quarter
after 65 days' prior written notice to Millennium USA and the
Administrator, and (ii) is based on the net asset value of the
Offered Interests being transferred as of the effective date of
the Transfer.
‘1 it hdraw al Rights: The following is a summary of the withdrawal rights
associated with the Offered Interests, which are further
described under "Millennium USA's Organization,
Management, Structure, and Operations — Withdrawal Rights":
Offered Quarterly Interests
Offered Quarterly Interests generally may be withdrawn, in
whole or in part, upon at least 90 days' prior written notice to
Millennium USA and to the Administrator, as of the last day of
each calendar quarter, subject to a 25% quarterly maximum
and any applicable Early Withdrawal Charge, each as
described below.
A holder of Offered Quarterly Interests may not withdraw
more than 25% of such holder's interests in any one quarter,
except that the holder may, upon at least 90 days' prior written
notice, elect to withdraw a specified amount or percentage of
such holder's interests then held (which may be 100%) over
the next succeeding quarterly withdrawal dates, in which
event, the withdrawal request will be honored to the extent of:
(i) 25% of the aggregate net asset value of such
interests at the next following quarterly withdrawal
date;
(ii) (if necessary) 33%% of the aggregate net asset
value of such interests at the next following
quarterly withdrawal date;
(iii) (if necessary) S0% of the aggregate net asset value
of such interests at the next following quarterly
withdrawal date; and
(iv) (if necessary) 100% of the remaining aggregate net
asset value of such interests at the next following
quarterly withdrawal date, subject to retaining an
amount, as described below, pending audit and
final determination of amounts due.
As noted, notice of such a withdrawal must be given in writing
at least 90 days prior to the first of the four (or fewer) quarters
MAXWELL 1-6
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001283
EFTA00236929
over which withdrawals are to be made.
Each withdrawal request submitted by a holder will be treated
separately for purposes of determining the amount a holder
will be permitted to withdraw on a particular withdrawal dates.
Subsequently submitted withdrawal requests will be subject to
new limitations calculated based on the then net asset value of
the holder's Offered Interests, and the amount permitted to be
withdrawn on a withdrawal date under the new request will be
reduced by amounts in respect of earlier requests being
withdrawn on the same withdrawal date.
Withdrawal requests are irrevocable upon receipt by
Millennium USA, subject to Millennium Management's sole
discretion to permit revocation in whole or in pan; provided
that Millennium Management determines that such action will
not cause Millennium USA or the Master Partnership to be
treated as a "publicly traded partnership" taxable as a
corporation for Federal tax purposes.
Millennium Management may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, permit a withdrawal of Offered Quarterly Interests
at intervals other than those set forth above or convert Offered
Quarterly Interests into interests of another class with
substantially the same rights and characteristics if it determines
that such a withdrawal or conversion would be permitted by
applicable law; provided that Millennium Management
determines that such action will not cause Millennium USA or
the Master Partnership to be treated as a "publicly traded
partnership" taxable as a corporation for Federal tax purposes.
The Offered Quarterly Interests are subject to the Early
Withdrawal Charge (as more precisely defined below) of 4%
upon withdrawal prior to the completion of four full fiscal
quarters after the date on which the interests were acquired.
Millennium USA generally will pay 95% of the withdrawal
payment within 30 days following the applicable withdrawal
date and generally will withhold 5% of any withdrawal
payment at a quarterly withdrawal date pending closing of
Millennium USA's books and reconciliation of the amounts
due for the quarter (in each case, computed on the basis of
unaudited data as of the withdrawal date, and subject to any
applicable reserves or holdbacks). However, if a withdrawal
date coincides with a date as of which Millennium USA's
financial statements are audited, the final withdrawal payment
will generally be made, subject to audit adjustments, after
completion of the audit. If the amount of a withdrawal,
-MAXWELL I-7
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001284
EFTA00236930
together with previous amounts withdrawn by a holder of
Offered Quarterly Interests since the most recent audit of
Millennium USA, exceeds 90% of the aggregate value of the
Limited Partner's Offered Quarterly Interests (after taking into
account any adjustments made in connection with the audit)
immediately after the date as of which the audit was
conducted, then Millennium USA generally will withhold from
the withdrawal payment 10% of the aggregate value. The
balance will be paid (subject to audit adjustments), within 30
days after the completion of the next audit of Millennium
USA, subject to any applicable reserves or holdbacks.
Balances held until following the completion of an audit, if
any, will be paid with interest from the applicable withdrawal
date at the average (calculated weekly) per annum short-term
(13-week) Treasury Bill rate.
Millennium Management may, in its discretion, elect to
withhold smaller amounts than those described above or to
accelerate the repayment of withheld balances.
Offered Annual Interests
The Offered Annual Interests generally may be withdrawn, in
whole or in part, upon at least 90 days' prior written notice to
Millennium USA and to the Administrator, as of the last day of
the fourth MI fiscal quarter following the date such Offered
Annual Interests were purchased, and thereafter, as of each
anniversary of such date. For purposes of determining the
anniversary date, Offered Annual Interests purchased (or
deemed purchased) as of the first day of a quarter will be
treated as if invested for the full quarter (e.g., the first
permissible withdrawal date for interests issued on April 1,
2013 will be March 31, 2014, and the anniversary date will be
March 31).
Withdrawal requests are irrevocable upon receipt by
Millennium USA, subject to Millennium Management's sole
discretion to permit revocation in whole or in part; provided
that Millennium Management determines that such action will
not cause Millennium USA or the Master Partnership to be
treated as a "publicly traded partnership" taxable as a
corporation for Federal tax purposes.
MAXWELL I-8
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001285
EFTA00236931
Under normal circumstances, there is no limit on the amount of
Offered Annual Interests that may be withdrawn on any
withdrawal date and there are no charges for withdrawals of
the Offered Annual Interests.
Millennium Management may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, permit a withdrawal of Offered Annual Interests on
dates other than the anniversary date or convert Offered
Annual Interests into interests of another class with
substantially the same rights and characteristics if it determines
that such a withdrawal or conversion would be permitted by
applicable law; provided that Millennium Management also
determines that such action will not cause Millennium USA or
the Master Partnership to be treated as a "publicly traded
partnership" taxable as a corporation for Federal tax purposes.
Withdrawal payments generally will be made approximately
90% (computed on the basis of unaudited data as of the
withdrawal date, and subject to reserves or holdbacks) within
30 days following the withdrawal date. The balance will be
paid (subject to audit adjustments) within 30 days following
the completion of the next audit of Millennium USA, subject
to any applicable reserves or holdbacks. If the amount of the
withdrawal is less than 90% of the aggregate value of a
shareholder's Offered Annual Interests, Millennium USA
anticipates paying 95% (rather than 90%) and withholding 5%
of the withdrawal amount pending closing of Millennium
USA's books and reconciliation of the amounts due for the
quarter (in each case, computed on the basis of unaudited data
as of the withdrawal date, and subject to any applicable
reserves or holdbacks). However, if a withdrawal date
coincides with a date as of which Millennium USA's financial
statements are audited, the final withdrawal payment will
generally be made, subject to audit adjustments, after
completion of the audit.
Balances held until following the completion of the audit, if
any, will be paid with interest from the applicable withdrawal
date at the average (calculated weekly) per annum short-term
(13-week) Treasury Bill rate.
Millennium Management may, in its discretion, elect to
withhold smaller amounts than those described above or to
accelerate the repayment of withheld balances.

Limitation on Millennium Management may, in its discretion, hold back a
Withdrawals; Compulsory portion of the withdrawal proceeds payable to a Limited
Withdrawal: Partner in respect of Offered Interests being withdrawn
(whether such withdrawal is voluntary or compulsory) to
satisfy contingent or expected liabilities. In addition,
withdrawals may be suspended if required to ensure
compliance with (i) any contract or agreement to which
Millennium USA is then a party or (ii) applicable law.
Withdrawals may also be suspended if Millennium
Management or the Administrator reasonably deems it
appropriate to do so to ensure compliance with applicable anti-
money laundering regulations. See "Millennium USA's
Organization, Management, Structure and Operations —
Withdrawal Rights" and "- Suspension for Anti-Money
Laundering Purposes." A breach of a covenant under an
agreement relating to indebtedness or similar obligations of the
Master Partnership, could trigger an acceleration of such
indebtedness or obligations, reducing or eliminating equity
withdrawals from the Master Partnership by Millennium USA.
See "Certain Risk Factors Relating to Millennium USA —
Limitation on Withdrawals" herein and "Certain Risk Factors
Relating to an Investment in the Master Partnership - Certain
Market and Investment Risks - Indebtedness" in Part Two of
this Confidential Memorandum.
Millennium Management reserves the right, subject to
applicable law, upon not less than five days' prior written
notice, to require any investor to withdraw all or any portion of
its interests at any time for any reason or no reason. See
"Millennium USA's Organization, Management, Structure,
and Operations — Compulsory Withdrawal."
Early Withdrawal Charges: Withdrawals of Offered Quarterly Interests occurring before
the last day of the fourth full calendar quarter after purchase of
such Offered Interests (other than due to the occurrence of a
Trigger Event, described below) will be subject to a charge
equal to 4% of the withdrawal amount (the "Early Withdrawal
Charge"). For purposes of determining the Early Withdrawal
Charge, Offered Quarterly Interests purchased (or deemed
purchased) as of the first day of a quarter will be treated as if
invested for the full quarter (e.g., Offered Quarterly Interests
issued on April 1, 2013 will no longer be subject to an Early
Withdrawal Charge for withdrawals of such Offered Quarterly
Interests occurring on or after March 31, 2014). The Early
Withdrawal Charge will be deducted from withdrawal
proceeds and retained by Millennium USA for the benefit of
-MAXWELL 1-10
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001287
EFTA00236933
the non-withdrawing investors (including Millennium
Management).
Withdrawals of Offered Annual Interests are not subject to any
withdrawal charge.
Special Withdrawal Right Millennium Management will promptly notify the investors in
upon a Trigger Event: the event of the death, disability, adjudication of
incompetency, bankruptcy, insolvency or withdrawal from the
general partner of the Master Partnership of Israel A.
Englander (a "Trigger Event"). Following such an event, each
Limited Partner will be given a special right to withdraw any
amount from its capital accounts. Special provision is also
made for "Possible Trigger Events" when an event occurs, but
it cannot be quickly determined whether it resulted in a
disability that rises to the level of a Trigger Event. (See
"Millennium USA's Organization, Management, Structure,
and Operations — Withdrawal Rights - Special Withdrawal
Right upon a Trigger Event.")
General Partner; Incentive The general partner of Millennium USA is Millennium
Allocation: Management. Israel A. Englander is the managing member of
Millennium Management. Millennium Management also
serves as the general partner of the Master Partnership. See
"The Master Partnership's Management, Structure and
Operations — Management" in Part Two of this Confidential
Memorandum for a description of certain control relationships.
As described below under "Allocation of Gains and Losses," at
the end of each fiscal year of Millennium USA, or at such
other date during a fiscal year as of which the following
reallocation is required, 20% of the aggregate net capital
appreciation of Millennium USA for the year will be
reallocated to Millennium Management as its incentive
allocation (the "Incentive Allocation").
Dissolution of Millennium Millennium Management has the right to compulsorily effect a
USA: withdrawal of all issued interests of Millennium USA and/or
dissolve Millennium USA at any time (including during a
fiscal year), for any reason or for no reason. See "Outline of
the Partnership Agreement — Term; Dissolution."
Fees and Expenses Relating As described below under "Fees and Expenses Relating to
to Millennium USA: Millennium USA," Millennium USA is, directly, or through its
investment in the Master Partnership, responsible for:
• all fees and expenses incurred in connection with any
transactions, engagements, and other agreements that it
MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001288
EFTA00236934
enters into on its own behalf, including, among other
things, costs and expenses of the Administrator, expenses
in connection with the private placement of interests of
Millennium USA (other than placement fees, if any); and
• a generally pro rata portion of the fees and expenses
incurred by Millennium Management and its affiliates
with respect to, or in connection with, the Master
Partnership and its affiliates or incurred directly by the
Master Partnership (which cover, among other things, the
expenses, salaries, fringe benefits, bonuses, fees and
performance-based compensation paid or reimbursed to
portfolio managers, other employees, consultants,
subcontractors, agents, and investment advisers engaged
directly by the Master Partnership and its affiliates, fees
paid to persons or entities who assist in identifying and
recruiting portfolio managers, and expenses related to
computers, equipment and technology and expenses
related to maintaining offices, including leases and
fixtures); and
• a generally pro raw portion of any other expenses
incurred by the Master Partnership.
Expenses that are borne by Millennium USA and the other
feeder funds, including Millennium International, and
Millennium Strategic Capital (each, as defined herein)
generally are allocated pro raw among Millennium USA and
the other feeder funds according to the relative values of their
interests in the Master Partnership, but a particular expense
may be allocated differently if Millennium Management and
its affiliates determine in their discretion that it would be fair
and reasonable to do so. Expenses of Millennium
Management Group (as defined herein) that relate to the
Master Partnership or Millennium USA as well as other
activities of the Millennium Management Group, including
other funds or accounts managed thereby, are allocated among
the applicable parties in a manner that the Millennium
Management Group determines, in its discretion, to be fair and
equitable. (See "Fees and Expenses Relating to Millennium
USA.")
Administrator: Millennium USA has engaged GlobeOp Financial Services
LLC (the "Administrator") to act as its administrator and
provide certain administrative and accounting services to
Millennium USA. Such services include, among others,
issuing the net asset value of Millennium USA after
performing certain checks on valuation and reconciliation
MAXWELL I-12
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001289
EFTA00236935
information received from Millennium Management. The
Administrator also provides services in connection with the
issuance, transfer and withdrawal of interests. (See "The
Administrator.")
Taxation: Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP has rendered an opinion that
Millennium USA and the Master Partnership will each be
classified as a partnership and not as an association taxable as
a corporation for federal tax purposes. Such counsel has also
rendered its opinion that neither Millennium USA nor the
Master Partnership will be treated as a "publicly traded
partnership" taxable as a corporation. Accordingly, neither
Millennium USA nor the Master Partnership should be subject
to federal income tax, and each Limited Partner will be
required to report on its own annual tax return such Limited
Partner's distributive share of Millennium USA's taxable
income or loss. (See "Certain Tax Matters Relating to an
Investment in Millennium USA.")
ERISA: Although Millennium USA is generally not open to tax-
exempt U.S. investors, Millennium Management may permit
entities subject to the U.S. Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") to purchase
Offered Interests. Trustees, administrators and other
fiduciaries of such entities are urged to carefully review the
matters discussed in this Confidential Memorandum.
Investment in Millennium USA by entities subject to ERISA
(or other tax-exempt U.S. entities) requires special
considerations. In particular, Millennium USA may utilize
leverage in connection with its trading activities, which could
give rise to "unrelated business taxable income". Millennium
USA does not intend to permit investments by "benefit plan
investors" (as defined in Section 3(42) of ERISA and any
regulations promulgated thereunder) to equal or exceed 25% of
the net asset value of any class of the Offered Interests. (See
"ERISA Considerations.")
Anti-Money Laundering As part of Millennium USA's and the Administrator's
Considerations: responsibility for the prevention of money laundering,
Millennium USA and its agents, including the Administrator,
will require a detailed verification of the identity of a
prospective purchaser of record and the source of payment. In
the event of delay or failure by the applicant to produce any
information required for verification purposes, Millennium
USA and its agents may refuse to accept the application (or
process the application, in the case of the Administrator) and
the subscription monies relating thereto will be returned,
MAXWELL I-13

without interest and at the risk of and cost of the applicant, to
the account from which the monies were originally debited.

PART ONE: INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO THE OFFERING AND
MILLENNIUM USA
The Partnership
This Confidential Memorandum relates to an offering of Class EE interests (the "Class
EE Offered Interests"), Class FF interests (the "Class FF Offered Interests," together with the
Class EE Offered Interests, the "Offered Quarterly Interests"), Class MM interests (the "Class
MM Offered Interests") and Class NN interests (the "Class NN Offered Interests," together with
the Class MM Offered Interests, the "Offered Annual Interests") of Millennium USA LP
("Millennium USA"). All references to "Offered Interests" in this Confidential Memorandum
shall be deemed to include the Offered Quarterly Interests and the Offered Annual Interests. The
Offered Interests are generally intended for prospective purchasers that are taxable U.S. investors
and are persons for which such an investment is otherwise appropriate. Investors in Millennium
USA are referred to herein as the "Limited Partners." The Limited Partners, together with
Millennium Management LLC ("Millennium Management"), are referred to herein as the
"Partners." The Offered Interests, together with all other interests in Millennium USA, are
referred to herein as the "Interests."
Millennium USA accepts investments from outside investors and primarily invests its
capital in Millennium Partners, (the "Master Partnership"). Millennium International, Ltd.
("Millennium International"), accepts investments from outside investors and primarily invests
its capital in Millennium Offshore Intermediate, •., a Cayman Islands exempted limited
partnership (the "Intermediate Partnership"), which, in turn, invests all or substantially all of its
capital in the Master Partnership. Each of Millennium USA, the Intermediate Partnership and
Millennium Strategic Capital will make separate investments from time to time as discussed
below under "Millennium USA's Investment Program and Strategy." A fourth fund, Millennium
Global Estate LP ("Millennium Global Estate"), also invests in the Master Partnership as part of
a broader investment strategy. Millennium Management has formed Millennium Strategic
Capital LP ("Millennium Strategic Capital"), an additional feeder fund that will invest in the
Master Partnership or into its underlying strategies and additional feeder funds may be formed in
the future. The Master Partnership and its investment program are described in detail in Part
Two of this Confidential Memorandum.
Interests Offered; Terms of the Offering
Interests Offered
Certain Characteristics of the Offered Interests. All offers are made subject to the
approval of Millennium Management, the general partner of Millennium USA and the general
partner of the Master Partnership. Millennium Management reserves the right to reject a
subscription in its sole and absolute discretion.
The Offered Quarterly Interests of each class generally have the same rights and
characteristics, except that the Class FF Offered Interests do not participate in gains and losses
from "new issues" (as such term is defined by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
("FINRA")) and activities that Millennium Management determines are related thereto. The
Offered Annual Interests of each class generally have the same rights and characteristics, except
-MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001292
EFTA00236938
that the Class NN Offered Interests do not participate in gains and losses from "new issues" and
activities that Millennium Management determines are related thereto. Each class of Offered
Interests has three sub-classes: sub-class III of each class of Offered Interests is being offered
pursuant to this Confidential Memorandum. Sub-classes I and II of each class of Offered
Interests were issued in connection with a conversion of existing Interests and the sub-class
issued to a Limited Partner was based on the existing classes being converted. Sub-classes I and
II of each class of Offered Interests have particular rights and obligations relating to events that
occurred prior to 2009, but otherwise are identical to sub-class III of each class of Offered
Interests. A description of sub-classes I and II of each Class of Offered Interests, together with a
description of other classes of Interests of Millennium USA that are currently outstanding, is set
forth in Appendix I attached hereto.
Offered Interests generally will be sold only as of the first business day of a calendar
month; monies received prior to the first business day of a calendar month will be held by
Millennium USA or its agent and a prospective purchaser will not earn any interest on such
monies or any return based on Millennium USA's performance during the period prior to the
first business day of such month. In the sole and absolute discretion of Millennium
Management, subscriptions may be accepted after the first business day of a calendar month,
including, without limitation, because the prospective purchaser's subscription agreement and
supporting documentation were not deemed to be complete by Millennium Management, in its
sole discretion, on the first business day or because Millennium USA receives the prospective
purchaser's subscription monies subsequent to the first business day. If Millennium
Management elects, in its sole discretion, to accept a subscription subsequent to the first business
day of a calendar month, for whatever reason, the subscription will be deemed to have been
invested on the first business day of such calendar month at the relevant subscription price on
such day. In such a situation, the prospective investor will, unless otherwise agreed by
Millennium Management, be subject to an interest charge at a daily rate determined by
Millennium Management for the portion of the month preceding the date that subscription
monies are received or the date Millennium Management determines, in its sole discretion, that
the subscription agreement of such investor was complete, as applicable, which will be assessed
against the capital account of the applicable Limited Partner. See "Interests Offered; Terms of
the Offering — Interests Offered." For purposes of this Confidential Memorandum, a business
day is any day, Monday through Friday, on which banks in New York City are open for business.
There will be no public market for the Offered Interests, and they will not be transferable
except under certain limited exceptions. (See "Suitability Requirements; Limitations on
Transferability of Interests of Millennium USA.") Holders of other direct or indirect Interests in
Millennium USA or the Master Partnership may have the right to withdraw their Interests
pursuant to different and more favorable terms than are applicable to holders of the Offered
Interests.
As a condition to the acceptance of any subscription for Offered Interests, each
prospective purchaser will be required to complete, to the satisfaction of Millennium
Management and the Administrator (as defined herein), and sign a subscription agreement (the
"Subscription Agreement") in a form to be provided by Millennium Management.
Each prospective purchaser will be required in the Subscription Agreement to, among
other things, (i) make certain representations, covenants and warranties, (ii) agree that Interests
-MAXWELL I-16
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001293
EFTA00236939
of Millennium USA or withdrawal proceeds in respect thereof may be used to offset obligations
of the withdrawing Limited Partner and/or its affiliate(s) (to the extent that the withdrawing
Limited Partner and such affiliate(s) have the same beneficial owner) to Millennium USA, the
Master Partnership or their respective affiliates, (iii) provide certain information about the
prospective purchaser to Millennium USA, Millennium Management and the Administrator and
(iv) indemnify Millennium USA, Millennium Management, the Administrator and their
respective affiliates for losses incurred by them with respect to the prospective purchaser
providing false information or misrepresentations. Millennium USA, Millennium Management,
and/or the Administrator may also, from time to time, require such additional certifications,
representations, and undertakings as they deem appropriate, including representations as to the
net worth of a prospective purchaser.
Each prospective purchaser will be required in the Subscription Agreement to authorize
Millennium Management, on behalf of the Limited Partners, to select one or more persons (not
affiliated with Millennium Management) to serve on a committee as may be established from
time to time in the future, the purpose of which is to consider and, on behalf of the Limited
Partners, approve or disapprove, to the extent required by applicable law or deemed advisable by
Millennium Management, principal transactions, certain other related-party transactions and
certain other transactions and matters involving potential conflicts of interest. Such committee
may approve of such transactions prior to or contemporaneous with, or ratify such transactions
subsequent to, the consummation of such transactions. The person(s) so selected may be
exculpated and indemnified by Millennium USA in the same manner and to the same extent as
Millennium Management.
Under the terms of the Subscription Agreement, each holder of Interests agrees to notify
Millennium Management and the Administrator promptly in writing if there is any change with
respect to any information provided to Millennium Management and/or the Administrator and to
provide any additional information reasonably requested by Millennium Management and/or the
Administrator.
Minimum Subscription. The minimum initial subscription for an investment in
Millennium USA is $5,000,000 and additional subscriptions following an initial investment may
be made in $500,000 increments. Millennium Management may accept subscriptions of lesser
amounts or establish different minimums in the future. Millennium Management reserves the
right to reject a subscription in its sole and absolute discretion.
Sales Charges and Commissions. Unless otherwise previously disclosed to an investor,
there will be no sales charges payable to Millennium USA or Millennium Management in
connection with the offering of Offered Interests to that investor. To the extent any such charges
are applicable and paid from an investor's funds, the investor's actual investment in the Offered
Interests will be reduced. Millennium Management or its affiliates may enter into, and have
from time to time entered into, agreements with placement agents providing for payment by
Millennium Management or its affiliates of a portion of subscription amounts, or providing for
ongoing payments based on a percentage of the Incentive Allocation due to Millennium
Management that are attributable to the Interests of an investor introduced by such placement
agent, or the payment of other amounts to the placement agents.
MAXWELL I-17
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001294
EFTA00236940
Withdrawal Rights. The withdrawal rights of the Offered Interests are described under
"Millennium USA's Organization, Management, Structure, and Operations — Withdrawal
Rights."
Treatment of New Issues. The Class FF Offered Interests and the Class NN Offered
Interests (as well as certain other classes of Interests issued and outstanding as set forth in
Appendix I (collectively with the Class FF Offered Interests and the Class NN Offered Interests,
the "Restricted Classes")) will not participate in gains and losses from "new issues" (as such
term is defined by FINRA) and activities that Millennium Management determines are related
thereto.
Because the Class EE Offered Interests and the Class MM Offered Interests (as well as
certain other classes of Interests previously issued and outstanding as set forth in Appendix I
(collectively with the Class EE Offered Interests and the Class MM Offered Interests, the
"Unrestricted Classes")) will participate in the gains and losses from new issues and activities
that Millennium Management determines are related thereto, the value of the net assets
attributable to such Interests will likely vary from the value of the net assets attributable to
Interests of the Restricted Classes.
If a Partner in an Unrestricted Class subsequently becomes restricted from the purchase
of new issues, the Interest in the Unrestricted Class held by such Partner will be converted into
an Interest in the corresponding Restricted Class.
Millennium Management reserves the right to vary its policy with respect to the
allocation of gains and losses from new issues and activities that Millennium Management
determines are related thereto as it deems appropriate for Millennium USA as a whole, in light
of, among other things, interpretations of, and amendments to, FINRA's rules and practical
considerations, including administrative burdens and principles of fairness and equity.
Net Asset Value. The Administrator issues Millennium USA's and the Master
Partnership's net asset value on a monthly basis after performing certain checks on valuation and
reconciliation information received from Millennium Management. Valuations of publicly
traded security positions are compared to market data independently obtained from third party
market data providers. Valuations of security positions are compared to information received
from third parties, including brokers and independent valuation service providers. Security
positions and cash balances are reconciled with Millennium USA's and the Master Partnership's
records based upon confirmations or statements that the Administrator independently receives
from prime brokers and other financial institutions that hold assets of Millennium USA and the
Master Partnership. Monthly activity in the general ledger of Millennium USA and the Master
Partnership is reviewed on a sample basis to verify it as materially correct. The procedures
performed do not constitute an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States (although the financial statements of Millennium USA and the Master
Partnership are audited in accordance with such standards by their independent auditors on a
semi-annual basis, see "Millennium USA's Independent Public Accountants"). The verification
and review work conducted by the Administrator does not constitute a 100% verification of the
valuation work of Millennium Management.
-MAXWELL I-18
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001295
EFTA00236941
The value of any investment on any valuation date is intended to represent the fair value
of such investment on such date based upon the amount at which the investment could be
exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale, and is Millennium
Management's estimate of such value using the methodology described in its valuation policies
and procedures as they may be amended or revised from time to time. Any valuation of an
investment may not reflect the actual amount that would be received by Millennium USA or the
Master Partnership upon the liquidation of such investment. In addition, the timing of
liquidations of investments may also affect the prices that could be obtained upon such
liquidations. Millennium USA and the Master Partnership are entitled to rely, without
independent investigation, upon pricing information and valuations furnished to them by third
parties, including pricing services. See "Certain Risk Factors Relating to an Investment in the
Master Partnership - Certain Market and Investment Risks — Valuation Risk" in Part Two of this
Confidential Memorandum.
Certain Risk Factors Relating to Millennium USA
Risk Factors Relevant to the Master Partnership. Part Two of this Confidential
Memorandum contains a description of risk factors relevant to an investment in the Master
Partnership. As Millennium USA primarily invests its assets in the Master Partnership, the risk
factors described in Part Two of this Confidential Memorandum likewise apply to an investment
in Millennium USA and should be carefully reviewed before any investment is made.
Different Returns Among Investors in the Master Partnership. Millennium USA carries
out its investment and trading activities primarily by investing in the Master Partnership.
Millennium USA will also trade and invest a portion of its capital for its own account, when
presented with investment opportunities that are appropriate for it and its investors, but that may
be inappropriate or not optimal (for tax or other reasons) for other direct or indirect investors in
the Master Partnership. For these reasons, returns among Millennium USA and other investors
that invest in the Master Partnership will to some degree differ.
Different Terms of Limited Partners. Millennium USA has existing classes of Interests,
and may, from time to time, establish additional classes or series of Interests, that provide
holders of those Interests with rights additional to and/or different from (including, without
limitation, with respect to fees, allocations, withdrawal rights, transfers, notices, transparency
and reporting) the rights attached to the Offered Interests. For example, different classes of
Interests may permit a Limited Partner to withdraw on less notice and/or at different times than
holders of Offered Interests. In addition, Millennium USA may enter into letter agreements or
other similar agreements with one or more Limited Partners that provide different rights to
certain Limited Partners. In general, Millennium USA will not be required to notify any or all of
the Limited Partners of any such new classes or agreements or any of the rights and/or terms or
provisions thereof, nor will Millennium USA be required to offer such additional and/or different
rights and/or terms to any or all of the existing Limited Partners.
Related Accounts or Other Accounts. Millennium Management or its affiliates may from
time to time enter into managed accounts or similar arrangements with investors or manage
investment vehicles ("Related Accounts") that have investment programs similar to that of
Millennium USA and invest on a substantially pail passe basis with the Master Partnership's
MAXWELL I-19
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001296
EFTA00236942
portfolio or certain of its strategies, but which may give investors therein the opportunity to elect
not to participate in certain strategies or categories of investments. In addition, such Related
Accounts may provide investors therein with rights additional to and/or different from the rights
attached to the Offered Interests or other classes or series of Interests of Millennium USA,
including with respect to withdrawal rights, transparency, reporting, leverage, fees and
allocations. Millennium Management and its affiliates will undertake to act in a manner that
they consider fair, reasonable and equitable in allocating investment opportunities among the
Master Partnership and such Related Accounts. However, because of the differences described
above, the performance of any such Related Account may differ substantially from the
performance of Millennium USA or the Master Partnership. Millennium Management or its
affiliates may combine purchase or sale orders for securities on behalf of the Master Partnership
or Millennium USA and Related Accounts and allocate the securities or other assets so
purchased or sold on an average price basis among such accounts or using another methodology
that they consider equitable, and may engage in cross transactions between the Master
Partnership or Millennium USA and a Related Account or the other feeder funds that invest in
the Master Partnership, including, for example, in connection with the establishment of a Related
Account, termination of a Related Account, or the periodic rebalancing of positions. In addition,
the Master Partnership and/or Millennium USA may invest, directly or indirectly, in investment
vehicles that Millennium Management or its affiliates have formed, or may in the future form or
manage, in other or additional investment partnerships or funds or in other investment structures
and the Master Partnership has made, and it and/or Millennium USA may in the future make,
investments in such investment partnerships or funds or other investment structures with their
own capital and/or the capital of outside investors (each such investment vehicle or investment,
an "Other Account"). Investments in Other Accounts may raise additional risks to the Master
Partnership and Millennium USA. For example, a smaller investor in an Other Account may be
affected by the actions of a larger investor in such Other Account. If a larger investor redeems
its investment in an Other Account, the remaining investors in such Other Account may
experience higher pro rata operating expenses, thereby producing lower returns. An Other
Account may become less diverse due to a redemption by a larger investor, resulting in increased
portfolio risk. The returns among investors in an Other Account may differ for a number of
reasons, including tax and other considerations of the investors. Creditors of such Other Account
may only enforce claims against all assets of such Other Account. See "Related-Party
Transactions; Conflicts" in Part Two of this Confidential Memorandum for additional disclosure
regarding conflicts of interest associated with the management of assets on behalf of the Master
Partnership and other accounts, including Related Accounts.
Issuance of Debt or Preferred Securities and Similar Arrangements. Millennium USA or
the Master Partnership may, without notice to or consent from existing investors, issue or
guarantee classes of preferred equity, debt and convertible debt, or enter into similar
arrangements, including letters of credit, which provide the holders thereof or parties thereto
terms that are preferential to the terms applicable to the Interests held by existing Limited
Partners in Millennium USA or to Millennium USA's interest in the Master Partnership. Such
terms could include, among other things, a security interest over certain assets of the Master
Partnership that would provide the holder thereof or party thereto the right to foreclose upon
such assets following the occurrence of certain trigger events such as insolvency, bankruptcy,
default or a suspension of withdrawals. If such securities are outstanding or such an arrangement
exists and a trigger event occurs, it is possible that holders thereof or parties thereto would be
MAXWELL I-20
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001297
EFTA00236943
entitled to receive assets of the Master Partnership in satisfaction of its obligations to them prior
to the time that Limited Partners in Millennium USA are able to withdraw.
Limit on Withdrawals. Millennium Management may, in its discretion, hold back a
portion of the withdrawal proceeds payable to a Limited Partner in respect of Offered Interests
being withdrawn (whether such withdrawal is voluntary or compulsory) to satisfy contingent or
expected liabilities. Additionally, the Offered Quarterly Interests are subject to a 25% quarterly
limit (as described under "Millennium International's Organization, Management, Structure, and
Operations — Withdrawal Rights") that limits the amount of Interests a Limited Partner may
withdraw on a single withdrawal date. The 25% quarterly limit is applied to each holder of
Offered Quarterly Interests, which is in contrast to the calculation methodology of the
contractual withdrawal limits applicable to other classes of Interests, which allocate aggregate
withdrawal requests in excess of the contractual withdrawal limit among requesting investors in
proportion to the relative size of their withdrawal request or the relative size of the investor.
In addition, withdrawals may be suspended if required to ensure compliance with (i) any
contract or agreement to which Millennium USA or the Master Partnership is then a party or (ii)
applicable law. Withdrawals may also be suspended if Millennium Management or the
Administrator reasonably deems it appropriate to do so to ensure compliance with applicable
anti-money laundering regulations. See "Millennium USA's Organization, Management,
Structure and Operations — Withdrawal Rights" and "- Suspension for Anti-Money Laundering
Purposes." A breach of a covenant under an agreement relating to indebtedness or similar
obligations of the Master Partnership could trigger an acceleration of such indebtedness or
obligations, reducing or eliminating equity withdrawals from the Master Partnership by
Millennium USA. See "Certain Risk Factors Relating to an Investment in the Master Partnership
- Certain Market and Investment Risks - Indebtedness" in Part Two of this Confidential
Memorandum.
Limitations on Transferability. As discussed below under "Suitability Requirements;
Limitations on Transferability of Interests of Millennium USA," the Offered Interests may not be
pledged, transferred, or assigned (each, a "Transfer") without the prior written consent of
Millennium Management (except by operation of law), which consent may be withheld in the
discretion of Millennium Management or made subject to such conditions as may be imposed by
Millennium Management in its sole discretion. Any attempted Transfer without such consent
may be treated as void or may subject such Offered Interests to a compulsory withdrawal.
Millennium Management does not expect to consent to any Transfer that does not meet the
requirements set forth below under "Suitability Requirements; Limitations on Transferability of
Interests of Millennium USA - Limitations on Transfer; Restrictions on Pledging Offered
Interests".
Millennium Management reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether a
Transfer will preserve "high water marks" and holding periods that were applicable to the
transferor. Prospective purchasers and prospective transferees must represent that they are
purchasing the Offered Interests for investment and meet other suitability requirements as
Millennium Management and/or the Administrator, as applicable, considers appropriate. There
is no independent market for the purchase or sale of Offered Interests, and none is expected to
develop. All of these factors increase the risk that an investor will not be able to liquidate or
MAXWELL I-2l
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001298
EFTA00236944
monetize its investment in the Offered Interests quickly or at a price that approximates the fair
market value of the Offered Interests.
Compensation of Millennium Management. The Incentive Allocation (defined below
under "Allocation of Gains and Losses") may, under some circumstances, create an incentive to
cause Millennium Management and the Master Partnership to make investments that are riskier
or more speculative than would be the case if such compensation were not performance-based,
particularly in any period after losses have been suffered. Further, individual Portfolio Managers
(as defined in Part Two of this Confidential Memorandum) who are generally compensated
based on their performance, may have similar incentives to engage in more speculative activities
than would be the case if such compensation were not performance-based.
In addition, because Millennium Management's Incentive Allocation is calculated on a
basis that includes unrealized appreciation (and depreciation) of Millennium USA's assets, it
may be greater than it would be if the allocation were based solely on realized gains.
As discussed below under "Fees and Expenses Relating to Millennium USA,"
Millennium USA indirectly will be responsible for a (generally pro rata) portion of the expenses,
salaries, fringe benefits, bonuses, fees and performance-based compensation (collectively
"Compensation") paid to the Portfolio Managers and other employees of, and consultants to the
Master Partnership and its affiliates. Compensation expenses may also include management or
"base" fees that may be charged by certain Portfolio Managers or third party funds. This
obligation in respect of Compensation is separate from and in addition to the Incentive
Allocation.
Pass-Through of Expenses. Partners of Millennium USA bear their respective allocable
portions of Millennium USA's (through its investment in the Master Partnership) generally pro
rata portion of the Master Partnership's costs and expenses as well as all of Millennium USA's
costs and expenses (including the amounts payable to affiliates of Millennium Management).
Millennium USA's allocable portion of expenses will generally be determined based on the
assets of Millennium USA in proportion to the assets of other "feeder funds." This structure may
create less of an incentive for Millennium Management to reduce operating and Compensation
expenses than an alternative structure (such as a fixed management fee based on the amount of
assets under management) would if the same personnel and opportunities were available under
both structures. (See "Fees and Expenses Relating to Millennium USA" and "Related-Party
Transactions; Conflicts" in Part Two of this Confidential Memorandum.)
Distributions in Kind. Millennium Management does not currently intend to, but may, in
its discretion, distribute securities or other property of Millennium USA (including interests in a
special purpose vehicle or similar entity formed for the purpose) in lieu of, or in combination
with, cash upon any withdrawal. The value of assets distributed in-kind may increase or
decrease before they are able to be sold by the withdrawing Limited Partner. Assets distributed
in-kind may not be readily marketable or saleable and may have to be held by the Limited
Partners for an indefinite period of time.
Contingency Reserves and Holdbacks. Millennium Management may, at any time or
times, establish reserves (whether or not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP")) for estimated or accrued expenses, liabilities or contingencies, including in
MAXWELL I-22
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001299
EFTA00236945
connection with the dissolution of Millennium USA or any downsizing of Millennium USA
following a Trigger Event (as defined below). If reserves are established that are not in
accordance with GAAP, they will be treated in the same manner as reserves that are in
accordance with GAAP, i.e., in the period in which they are taken they shall be treated as an
expense of Millennium USA (and will reduce the net assets of Millennium USA and related
Incentive Allocation (if applicable)), and, if and to the extent that they are subsequently reversed
they will be taken into income in the period of such reversal (and will to that extent increase the
net assets of Millennium USA and related Incentive Allocation (if applicable)). At the time such
reserve is taken, Millennium USA may (but is not required to) provide that income from any
subsequent reversal will be attributed solely to persons who were invested when the reserve was
taken. The establishment of such reserves will not insulate any portion of Millennium USA's
assets from being at risk, and the Master Partnership may make investment decisions relating to
assets so reserved as it determines appropriate.
In addition to the power to establish reserves, Millennium Management, in its discretion,
may hold back a portion of the amount payable to a Limited Partner in respect of a withdrawal
(whether such withdrawal is voluntary or compulsory) to satisfy contingent or expected
liabilities. The amount of the withdrawal proceeds held back will be determined by Millennium
Management, in its sole discretion, taking into account such factors as it considers relevant with
respect to any contingent or expected liability. Such holdbacks will reduce the amount paid to a
withdrawing Limited Partner. The unused portion of any holdback will be distributed to the
Limited Partner to which the holdback applied after Millennium Management has determined
that the need therefor has ceased.
Investment in the Master Partnership by Millennium Management and its Affiliates and
Portfolio Managers. In connection with deferred compensation arrangements of certain
principals and senior officers of Millennium Management and its affiliates, Millennium
International has entered into, and may in the future enter into additional, swap and option
contracts with third parties with respect to which counterparties may subscribe for certain classes
of Millennium International's equity capital in order to hedge their exposure under such
contracts. Such contracts may provide that, upon the occurrence of certain events, including
declines in the capital of the Master Partnership or Millennium International below pre-
determined thresholds and changes in senior management, these contracts can be terminated by
the counterparties and such equity capital can be withdrawn from Millennium International
without the imposition of contractual limits on withdrawals and redemptions or early withdrawal
or redemption charges, on either a monthly or quarterly basis. In addition, Portfolio Managers
(and related personnel) are given the opportunity to invest in the portion of the Master
Partnership's portfolio managed by them through vehicles established for this purpose. Such
investments only share in the expenses allocated to such portfolio and not the expenses of
Millennium USA or the Master Partnership generally. While Millennium Management believes
that in substantially all situations these kinds of relationships are useful in aligning the interests
of management and Portfolio Managers with those of investors, they can lead to situations where
the interests of management diverge from those of other investors.
Tax-Exempt Investors. Certain prospective purchasers may be subject to federal and
state laws, rules and regulations which may regulate their participation in Millennium USA, or
their engaging directly, or indirectly through an investment in Millennium USA, in investment
.=-MAXWELL I-23
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001300
EFTA00236946
strategies of the types which the Master Partnership or Portfolio Managers may utilize from
time-to-time (e.g., leverage, the purchase and sale of options and limited diversification). While
Millennium USA believes the Master Partnership's investment program is generally appropriate
for tax-exempt organizations for which an investment in Millennium USA would otherwise be
suitable, each type of exempt organization may be subject to different laws, rules and
regulations, and prospective purchasers should consult with their own advisers as to the
advisability and tax consequences of an investment in Millennium USA (and consider the
alternative of investing in Millennium International). Since the Master Partnership is permitted
to borrow, tax-exempt Limited Partners may incur income tax liability to the extent of their share
of Millennium USA's share of the Master Partnership's "unrelated business taxable income."
Trustees or administrators of entities subject to ERISA and other tax-exempt entities should
consult their own legal and tax advisers.
Recent Developments Potentially Impacting Taxation of Limited Partners. In order to
avoid a U.S. withholding tax of 30% on certain payments (including payments of gross proceeds)
made with respect to certain actual and deemed U.S. investments, the Master Partnership will
generally be required to enter into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (the
"Service") by December 31, 2013 identifying certain direct and indirect U.S. account holders
(including debtholders and equityholders). Limited Partners should consult their own tax
advisors regarding the possible implications of these rules on their investment in the Offered
Interests.
Suitability Requirements; Limitations on Transferability of Interests of
Millennium USA
Suitability Requirements
Each investor is required to represent that the Offered Interests are being acquired for its
own account, for investment, and not with a view to resale or distribution. The Offered Interests
are suitable investments only for sophisticated investors for which an investment in Millennium
USA does not constitute a complete investment program, and that fully understand, are willing to
assume, and have the financial resources necessary to withstand the risks involved in Millennium
USA's investment program and to bear the potential loss of their entire investment in the Offered
Interests.
Investors in Millennium USA must be "accredited investors" as defined in Rule 501 under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and "qualified purchasers" as such
term is defined in Section 2(aX5I) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"Investment Company Act"), and must meet other suitability requirements set forth in the
Subscription Agreement.
Each prospective purchaser is urged to consult with its own advisors to determine the
suitability of an investment in the Offered Interests, and the relationship of such an investment to
the prospective purchaser's overall investment program and financial and tax position. Each
purchaser of an Offered Interest is further required to represent that, after all necessary advice
and analysis, its investment in Millennium USA is suitable and appropriate in light of the
foregoing considerations. Prior to any subscription for Offered Interests, each prospective
purchaser must represent in writing, by completing and signing the Subscription Agreement, that
-MAXWELL 1-24
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001301
EFTA00236947
it meets the suitability standards referred to in this Confidential Memorandum. Millennium
Management has the right to reject a subscription for any reason or for no reason, even if the
prospective purchaser satisfies Millennium USA's suitability requirements.
Limitations on Transfer; Restrictions on Pledging OfferedInterests
Each investor must bear the economic risk of the investment for an extended period of
time (subject to the limited rights of withdrawal described herein).
Each investor will be required to agree that (i) no Offered Interests, nor any interest
therein, may be Transferred without the prior written consent of Millennium Management
(except by operation of law), which consent may be withheld in the discretion of Millennium
Management or made subject to such conditions as may be imposed by Millennium Management
in its sole discretion, (ii) prior to considering any request to permit transfer of Offered Interests,
Millennium Management and/or the Administrator, as applicable, may require the submission by
the proposed transferee of a certification as to the matters referred to in the preceding paragraphs
as well as such other documents, representations or undertakings as Millennium Management
and/or the Administrator considers appropriate, and (iii) any attempted pledge, transfer or
assignment of Offered Interests in violation of the foregoing restrictions shall be invalid and void
ab initio. Transferred Interests generally will be deemed to have been purchased as of the date of
the transfer for all purposes, including calculating the Incentive Allocation and determining the
early withdrawal charges, unless otherwise agreed to by Millennium Management, in its sole
discretion. Millennium Management may in its sole discretion permit transferred interests to
maintain their original purchase date and high water mark. Millennium Management and/or the
Administrator on its behalf may refuse to issue, register or permit the transfer of Offered
Interests if it is not satisfied that such issuance, registration or transfer is consistent with the best
interests of Millennium USA. In addition, no Offered Interests may be issued, registered or
transferred to any non-U.S. Person, directly or indirectly. Millennium Management may, in its
sole discretion, elect to charge a Limited Partner the costs (including attorneys' fees) related to
any requested transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance of the Limited Partner's Interests.
Millennium Management will not consent to any Transfer other than a Transfer (i) in
circumstances in which the tax basis of the Offered Interest in the hands of the transferee is
determined, in whole or in part, by reference to its tax basis in the hands of the transferor, (ii) to
members of such Partner's immediate family (brothers, sisters, spouse, parents and children), or
(iii) as a distribution from a qualified retirement plan or an individual retirement account (each, a
"Permissible Transfer"), unless Millennium Management determines that the proposed Transfer
will not cause Millennium USA to be treated as a "publicly traded partnership" taxable as a
corporation for Federal tax purposes. Without limiting the foregoing, unless otherwise agreed to
by Millennium Management, Millennium Management generally does not expect to consent to
any Transfer (other than a Permissible Transfer) unless the Transfer (i) is between existing
limited partners effective as of the beginning of the next fiscal quarter after 65 days' prior written
notice to Millennium USA and the Administrator, and (ii) is based on the net asset value of the
Offered Interests being transferred as of the effective date of the Transfer.
Holders of Offered Interests that desire to pledge, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of
Offered Interests should assume that they will not receive any help or assistance from
Millennium Management in that regard.

EFTA00236948
Millennium USA's Investment Program and Strategy
The investment objective of Millennium USA is to achieve above-average appreciation
by opportunistically trading and investing in a wide variety of securities, instruments, and other
investment opportunities and engaging in a broad array of trading and investment strategies.
THERE ARE NO SUBSTANTIVE LIMITS ON THE INVESTMENT STRATEGIES THAT
MAY BE PURSUED BY MILLENNIUM USA.
The Master Partnership's investment program and the strategies it employs are described
in Part Two of this Confidential Memorandum and, except as otherwise indicated in this
Confidential Memorandum, should be construed as also being the investment program and
strategies of Millennium USA insofar as Millennium USA invests through the Master
Partnership. Millennium USA may directly engage in any investment activities in which the
Master Partnership engages (as more fully described in Part Two of this Confidential
Memorandum).
Use of Proceeds by Millennium USA
Net proceeds received by Millennium USA from the sale of Offered Interests generally
will be invested and otherwise utilized by Millennium USA as described in this Confidential
Memorandum. This means that the net proceeds will be invested primarily in the Master
Partnership and used by the Master Partnership in its investment program and will be used by
Millennium USA and the Master Partnership for expenses. A portion of the net proceeds
received by Millennium USA may be employed in direct investments made by Millennium USA.
(See "Millennium USA's Investment Program and Strategy.")
Millennium USA's Organization, Management, Structure, and Operations
Organization
Millennium USA is a Delaware limited partnership formed in November 1997.
Millennium USA's principal office is located at 666 Fifth Avenue, 8th Floor, New York, New
York 10103-0899.
Master-Feeder Relationship
As discussed in Part Two of this Confidential Memorandum under "The Master
Partnership's Organization — Organization," the master-feeder relationship between the Master
Partnership and Millennium USA has been structured, among other reasons, to give U.S.
taxpayers an opportunity to invest in the Master Partnership indirectly.
Capital Structure
Millennium International and Millennium USA have, and Millennium Strategic Capital
and any other feeder funds that may be formed in the future may have, a variety of classes of
shares (and sub-classes) and Interests, respectively, outstanding, and may offer additional classes
(and sub-classes) of Interests in the future, and, in some instances, have additional contractual (or
"side letter") agreements with particular investors. The classes of Interests issued by Millennium
USA that are outstanding as of the date hereof are set forth in Appendix I. The provisions of the
-MAXWELL I-26
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001303
EFTA00236949
different classes of outstanding shares or Interests, and of such contractual undertakings, are not
uniform, with the effect that some investors in the funds to some degree have different rights and
entitlements from those of other investors, which may be true even though the fundamental
economic terms of the investments are otherwise identical. Such differing provisions relate
primarily to withdrawal rights (the frequency of permissible withdrawals, the notice period
required for withdrawals, and the circumstances under which accelerated withdrawal is
permissible) and the detail and frequency with which information is provided regarding returns
or broad portfolio segment information. In the sole discretion of Millennium Management, (i)
Millennium USA may issue other classes of Interests in the future that may differ in terms of,
among other things, denomination of currency, the fees/allocations charged, minimum
commitment amounts, withdrawal rights and other rights, (ii) Millennium Management may
establish and designate such new classes of Interests without the approval of the Limited
Partners, (iii) Millennium Management will determine the terms of such classes and (iv)
Millennium Management may combine classes of Interests or convert one class into another
class, in each case, so long as such action does not adversely affect the terms of the other classes
of Interests in any material respect. Millennium USA no longer enters into contractual
arrangements or undertakings providing for withdrawal rights materially different from those
generally available (subject to exceptions in order to address regulatory, tax or similar
requirements applicable to certain investors and in connection with deferred compensation
arrangements as described under "Certain Risk Factors Relating to Millennium USA —
Investment in the Master Partnership by Millennium Management and its Affiliates and Portfolio
Managers").
Withdrawal Rights
Offered Quarterly Interests
Requests to withdraw from capital accounts relating to Offered Quarterly Interests
generally may be made, in whole or in part, upon at least 90 days' prior written notice to
Millennium USA and to the Administrator, as of the last day of each calendar quarter, subject to
a 25% quarterly maximum and any applicable Early Withdrawal Charge, described below.
Withdrawal requests are irrevocable upon receipt by Millennium Management, subject to
Millennium Management's sole discretion to permit revocation in whole or in part; provided that
Millennium Management determines that such action will not cause Millennium USA or the
Master Partnership to be treated as a "publicly traded partnership" taxable as a corporation for
Federal tax purposes.
Millennium Management may, in its sole and absolute discretion, permit a withdrawal
relating to Offered Quarterly Interests at intervals other than those set forth above or convert
Offered Quarterly Interests into another class with substantially the same rights and
characteristics if it determines that such a withdrawal or conversion would be permitted by
applicable law; provided that Millennium Management determines that such action will not
cause Millennium USA or the Master Partnership to be treated as a "publicly traded partnership"
taxable as a corporation for Federal tax purposes.
Maximum Withdrawal. A holder of Offered Quarterly Interest may not withdraw more
than 25% of such holder's Interests in any one quarter, except that the holder may, upon at least
-MAXWELL I-27
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001304
EFTA00236950
90 days' prior written notice to Millennium USA and to the Administrator, elect to withdraw a
specified amount or percentage of such holder's Interests then held (which may be 100%) over
the next succeeding quarterly withdrawal dates, in which event, the withdrawal request will be
honored to the extent of:
(i) 25% of the aggregate net asset value of such interests at the next following
quarterly withdrawal date;
(ii) (if necessary) 331/2% of the aggregate net asset value of such interests at
the next following quarterly withdrawal date;
(iii) (if necessary) 50% of the aggregate net asset value of such interests at the
next following quarterly withdrawal date; and
(iv) (if necessary) 100% of the remaining aggregate net asset value of such
interests at the next following quarterly withdrawal date, subject to
retaining an amount, as described below, pending audit and final
determination of amounts due.
As noted, notice of such a withdrawal must be given in writing at least 90 days prior to
the first of the four (or fewer) quarters over which withdrawals are to be made.
Each withdrawal request submitted by a holder will be treated separately for purposes of
determining the amount a holder will be permitted to withdraw on a particular withdrawal date.
Subsequently submitted withdrawal requests will be subject to new limitations calculated based
on the then net asset value of the holder's Offered Quarterly Interests, and the amount permitted
to be withdrawn on a withdrawal date under the new request will be reduced by amounts in
respect of earlier withdrawal requests being withdrawn on the same withdrawal date.
Early Withdrawal Charge. Withdrawals of Offered Quarterly Interests occurring before
the last day of the fourth full calendar quarter after purchase of such Offered Quarterly Interests
(unless due to the occurrence of a Trigger Event described below) are subject to a charge equal
to 4% of the withdrawal amount (the "Early Withdrawal Charge"). For purposes of determining
the Early Withdrawal Charge, Offered Quarterly Interests purchased (or deemed purchased) as of
the first day of a quarter will be treated as if invested for the full quarter (e.g., Offered Quarterly
Interests issued on April I, 2013 will no longer be subject to an Early Withdrawal Charge for
withdrawals of such Offered Quarterly Interests occurring on or after March 31, 2014). A
Limited Partner holding Offered Quarterly Interests may hold one or both "tranches" of Offered
Quarterly Interests: a tranche subject to the Early Withdrawal Charge and a tranche which is not
subject to the Early Withdrawal Charge. For purposes of calculating permissible withdrawals,
etc., the two tranches will be treated as one holding and, unless the holder expresses a contrary
desire, the Interests will be withdrawn on a first-in-first-out basis so as to minimize the effect of
the Early Withdrawal Charge. The Early Withdrawal Charge will be deducted from withdrawal
proceeds and retained by Millennium USA for the benefit of the non-withdrawing investors
(including Millennium Management).
For purposes of determining whether Offered Quarterly Interests that were received by a
Limited Partner after converting from other classes of Interests of Millennium USA will be
MAXWELL 1-28
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001305
EFTA00236951
subject to an Early Withdrawal Charge, the Offered Quarterly Interests being withdrawn will be
deemed to have been owned for the amount of time such converted classes of Interests were
owned, plus the amount of time the Offered Quarterly Interests (as the case may be) have been
owned.
OfferedAnnualInterests
Requests to withdraw from capital accounts related to the Offered Annual
Interests generally may be made, in whole or in part, upon at least 90 days' prior written notice
to Millennium USA and to the Administrator, as of the last day of the fourth full fiscal quarter
following the date such Offered Annual Interests were purchased, and, thereafter, as of each
anniversary of such date. For purposes of determining the anniversary date, Offered Annual
Interests purchased (or deemed purchased) as of the first day of a quarter will be treated as if
invested for the full quarter (e.g., the first permissible withdrawal date for Offered Annual
Interests issued on April I, 2013 will be March 31, 2014 and the anniversary date will be March
31). Withdrawal requests are irrevocable upon receipt by Millennium Management, subject to
Millennium Management's sole discretion to permit revocation in whole or in part; provided that
Millennium Management determines that such action will not cause Millennium USA or the
Master Partnership to be treated as a "publicly traded partnership" taxable as a corporation for
Federal tax purposes.
Under normal circumstances, there is no limit on the amount of Offered Annual
Interests that may be withdrawn on any withdrawal date and there are no charges for withdrawals
of the Offered Annual Interests.
Millennium Management may, in its sole and absolute discretion, permit a
withdrawal of Offered Annual Interests on dates other than the anniversary date or convert
Offered Annual Interests into interests of another class with substantially the same rights and
characteristics if it determines that such a withdrawal or conversion would be permitted by
applicable law; provided that Millennium Management also determines that such action will not
cause Millennium USA or the Master Partnership to be treated as a "publicly traded partnership"
taxable as a corporation for Federal tax purposes.
Withdrawal Price: Payments. With respect to Offered Quarterly Interests, Millennium
USA generally will pay 95% of the withdrawal payment within 30 days following the applicable
withdrawal date and generally will withhold 5% of any withdrawal payment at a quarterly
withdrawal date pending closing of Millennium USA's books and reconciliation of the amounts
due for the quarter (in each case, computed on the basis of unaudited data as of the withdrawal
date, and subject to any applicable reserves or holdbacks). However, if a withdrawal date
coincides with a date as of which Millennium USA's financial statements are audited, the final
withdrawal payment will generally be made, subject to audit adjustments, after completion of the
audit. If the amount of a withdrawal, together with previous amounts withdrawn by a holder of
Offered Quarterly Interests since the most recent audit of Millennium USA, exceeds 90% of the
aggregate value of the holder's Offered Quarterly Interests (after taking into account any
adjustments made in connection with the audit) immediately after the date as of which the audit
was conducted, then Millennium USA generally will withhold from the withdrawal payment
10% of the aggregate value. The balance will be paid subject to audit adjustments within 30
MAXWELL I-29
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001306
EFTA00236952
days after completion of the next audit of Millennium USA, subject to any applicable reserves or
holdbacks.
Balances held until following the completion of an audit, if any, will be paid with interest
from the applicable withdrawal date at the average (calculated weekly) per annum short-term
(13-week) Treasury Bill rate.
Millennium Management may, in its discretion, elect to withhold smaller amounts than
those described above or to accelerate the repayment of withheld balances.
With respect to Offered Annual Interests, Millennium USA will ordinarily pay 90% of
the aggregate proceeds of any withdrawal (computed on the basis of unaudited data as of the
withdrawal date, and subject to reserves or holdbacks) within 30 days following the withdrawal
date. The balance will be paid (subject to audit adjustments) within 30 days following the
completion of the next audit of Millennium USA, subject to any applicable reserves or
holdbacks. If the amount of the withdrawal is less than 90% of the aggregate value of a
shareholder's Offered Annual Interests, Millennium USA anticipates paying 95% (rather than
90%) and withholding 5% of such withdrawal amount pending closing of Millennium USA's
books and reconciliation of the amounts due for the quarter (in each case, computed on the basis
of unaudited data as of the withdrawal date, and subject to any applicable reserves or holdbacks).
However, if a withdrawal date coincides with a date as of which Millennium USA's financial
statements are audited, the final withdrawal payment will generally be made, subject to audit
adjustments, after completion of the audit.
Balances held until following the completion of an audit, if any, will be paid with interest
from the applicable withdrawal date at the average (calculated weekly) per annum short-term
(13-week) Treasury Bill rate.
Millennium Management may, in its discretion, elect to withhold smaller amounts than
those described above or to accelerate the repayment of withheld balances.
Please be advised that it is generally the policy of the Administrator that all withdrawal
proceeds are paid to the account from which the monies were originally debited, unless
otherwise agreed upon by Millennium Management and the Administrator. Payments generally
will not be made to third party accounts that are not in the name of the withdrawing Limited
Partner, unless otherwise required under law.
Withdrawals made by an investor that holds more than one series of Offered Interests will
be deemed to be made on a first-in first-out basis absent specific instructions to the contrary from
the investor.
Special Withdrawal Right upon a Trigger Event. Millennium Management will notify
the Limited Partners within 10 days of the occurrence of the death, disability, adjudication of
incompetency, bankruptcy, insolvency or withdrawal from the general partner of the Master
Partnership of Israel A. Englander (each, a "Trigger Event"). During the period beginning on the
date as of which a Trigger Event has occurred (as determined by Millennium Management) and
ending on the last day of the third full month following the date on which notice of the Trigger
Event is given (the "Transition Period"), and thereafter until the Special Withdrawal Date (as
MAXWELL I-30
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001307
EFTA00236953
defined below), withdrawals may not be made, and (subject to the next sentence) withdrawal
notices shall be of no effect. During the last month of the Transition Period, Limited Partners
may provide a written withdrawal request to Millennium Management to withdraw all or a
portion of their respective capital accounts, which withdrawal will be effective as of the last day
of the third full month after the expiration of the Transition Period (the "Special Withdrawal
Date") without being subject to any 25% quarterly limit or Early Withdrawal Charge that would
otherwise be applicable to such Offered Quarterly Interests. A withdrawal request in respect of a
Trigger Event may not be rescinded by the Limited Partner (absent the consent of Millennium
Management) following its receipt by Millennium Management. Distributions of withdrawal
proceeds due in respect of withdrawal dates that occurred prior to the occurrence of the Trigger
Event will be paid during the Transition Period.
In the event of the death of Mr. Englander, the death benefits distributable to Millennium
USA or the Master Partnership from "keyman" life insurance upon Mr. Englander's life will be
deemed to be assets of Millennium USA or the Master Partnership, as the case may be, as of the
date immediately prior to the Trigger Date and therefore will be included in Net Capital
Appreciation or Net Capital Depreciation.
Following the occurrence of an event that Millennium Management in good faith
determines may result in, or may have been, a Trigger Event (e.g., an event that may result in the
disability of Mr. Englander) (a "Possible Trigger Event"), Millennium Management may report
such event to the Limited Partners (a "Possible Trigger Event Notice"). A Possible Trigger
Event Notice will not commence a Transition Period, but any withdrawal request given on or
after the date of the Possible Trigger Event identified in a Possible Trigger Event Notice will be
suspended and held in abeyance for such period as may reasonably be necessary under the
circumstances for Millennium Management to determine whether the Possible Trigger Event did
in fact constitute a Trigger Event. Millennium Management will make such determination as
soon as shall reasonably be practicable under the circumstances. Promptly upon making such
determination, Millennium Management will notify the Limited Partners of that determination.
If the determination is that there was not a Trigger Event, then all withdrawal requests held in
abeyance pursuant to the foregoing will be given effect. If and to the extent that withdrawal
dates specified in withdrawal notices have already occurred, all such withdrawals will be given
effect as of the last day of the first full calendar month following the date Millennium
Management determines that there was not a Trigger Event. If the determination is that there
was a Trigger Event, a Trigger Event Notice will promptly be given, and any withdrawal
requests that were received and held in abeyance will be cancelled, and Limited Partners will be
permitted to withdraw as described above.
A Limited Partner exercising a special withdrawal right in connection with a Trigger
Event will be paid approximately 90% of its estimated withdrawal request (computed on the
basis of unaudited data as of the Special Withdrawal Date), subject to reserves for contingencies
(including general reserves for unspecified potential contingencies) and holdbacks, within 30
days following the Special Withdrawal Date. The balance of such Limited Partner's withdrawal
request will be paid (subject to audit adjustments) to such Limited Partner within 30 days after
completion of the next audit of Millennium USA, with interest from the Special Withdrawal
Date at the average (calculated weekly) per annum short-term (13-week) Treasury Bill rate.
MAXWELL I-31
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001308
EFTA00236954
Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to applicable law, Millennium Management
may determine at any time, including following a Trigger Event, to dissolve Millennium USA.
If Millennium Management makes a determination to dissolve Millennium USA during a
Transition Period, all pending withdrawal requests given during a Transition Period will be
cancelled and distributions in respect of pending withdrawals pursuant to withdrawal requests
given during or prior to that Transition Period will not be made and any further withdrawal
requests will not be honored. Rather, distributions will be made in connection with the
liquidation of Millennium USA.
Following a Trigger Event and a Special Withdrawal Date, withdrawals may thereafter be
made by Limited Partners in accordance with their rights to withdraw as specified herein, but no
notices given for withdrawal dates that occurred between the Trigger Event and the Special
Withdrawal Date will be honored, so that the first occasion for a Limited Partner to withdraw
after a Special Withdrawal Date will be the first regular withdrawal date as to which the time
available after the Special Withdrawal Date for giving notice is sufficient in accordance with the
applicable requirements.
Other Withdrawal Rights. In addition, investors in other classes of Interests of
Millennium USA may withdraw all of their capital accounts at such other time and upon such
terms as permitted in respect of such class in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.
Limitation on Withdrawals. Millennium Management, in its discretion, may hold back a
portion of the amount payable to a Limited Partner in respect of a withdrawal (whether such
withdrawal is voluntary or compulsory) to satisfy contingent or expected liabilities. The amount
of the withdrawal proceeds held back will be determined by Millennium Management in its sole
discretion taking into account such factors as it considers relevant with respect to any contingent
or expected liability. Such holdbacks will reduce the amount paid to a withdrawing Limited
Partner. The unused portion of any holdback will be distributed to the Limited Partner to which
the holdback applied if and to the extent that Millennium Management subsequently determines
that the need therefor has ceased.
In the event that an investor makes a complete or partial withdrawal on a date other than
the regular withdrawal dates applicable to the particular class of Interests of Millennium USA,
Millennium USA has the right to charge such withdrawing investor any legal, accounting and
administrative, registrar and transfer costs associated with such withdrawal of all or a portion of
its Interests, and in that connection may establish reserves for contingencies, including general
reserves for unspecified contingencies.
Deferral of Withdrawal Payments. Payments of withdrawal proceeds may be suspended
if Millennium Management and/or the Administrator determine that they will violate applicable
law, including any applicable rules or regulations of any regulatory agency or exchange, or any
contract or agreement to which Millennium USA or any affiliate is then a party.
Suspensionfor Anti-Money Laundering Purposes
Withdrawals by any investor purchasing Offered Interests hereunder may be suspended if
Millennium Management and/or the Administrator reasonably deem it appropriate to do so to
ensure compliance with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to Millennium USA,

Millennium Management, the Administrator or any of Millennium USA's other service
providers. Please be advised that the Administrator may require any additional documentation,
as reasonably necessary, to process a withdrawal request.
Compulsory Withdrawal
Millennium Management reserves the right, upon not less than five days' prior written
notice, to require any investor to withdraw all or any portion of its capital account at any time for
any reason or no reason. Any such compulsory withdrawal will be effective as of the date
specified in the notice.
Conversion of Offered Interests
Millennium USA from time to time may, for administrative convenience or any other
reason, and without any consent of or notice to Limited Partners, redesignate and convert all or
any portion of the outstanding Offered Interests into another class of Interests of Millennium
USA with substantially the same rights and characteristics.
Management of Millennium USA
The general partner of Millennium USA and the general partner of the Master Partnership
is Millennium Management, a Delaware limited liability company. As discussed under "Certain
Legal and Regulatory Matters Relating to the Master Partnership" in Part Two of this
Confidential Memorandum, Millennium Management is the commodity pool operator and
commodity trading advisor of Millennium USA and the Master Partnership and has general
responsibility and authority for supervising all aspects of Millennium USA's and the Master
Partnership's business and operations. The Limited Partners have no right to act on behalf of
Millennium USA or the Master Partnership in connection with any matter.
Millennium Management has the right to dissolve Millennium USA at any time
(including during a fiscal year), for any reason or for no reason. In the case of such termination,
Millennium USA's net assets (less reserves) will be distributed to the Limited Partners within 30
days after the completion of a final audit of Millennium USA's books (which must be performed
within 90 days of the date of dissolution).
Biographies of the principals and senior management of Millennium Management can be
found under "The Master Partnership's Management, Structure and Operations — Management —
Principals and Key Managers" in Part Two of this Confidential Memorandum.
The Administrator
Millennium USA has entered into an agreement (the "Services Agreement") with an
independent third-party administrator, GlobeOp Financial Services LLC (the "Administrator").
Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Administrator is responsible, under the overall
supervision of Millennium Management, for matters pertaining to the administration of
Millennium USA, namely: issuing the net asset value of Millennium USA after performing
certain checks on valuation and reconciliation information received from Millennium
Management.
-MAXWELL I-33
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001310
EFTA00236956
The Administrator issues Millennium USA's and the Master Partnership's net asset value
on a monthly basis after performing certain checks on valuation and reconciliation information
received from Millennium Management. Valuations of publicly traded security positions are
compared to market data independently obtained from third party providers. Valuations of
security positions are compared to information received from third parties, including brokers and
independent valuation service providers. Security positions and cash balances are reconciled
with Millennium USA's and the Master Partnership's records based upon confirmations or
statements that the Administrator independently receives from prime brokers and other financial
institutions that hold assets of Millennium USA and the Master Partnership. Monthly activity in
the general ledger of Millennium USA and the Master Partnership is reviewed on a sample basis
to verify it as materially correct. The procedures performed do not constitute an audit in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States (although the
financial statements of Millennium USA and the Master Partnership are audited in accordance
with such standards by their independent auditors on a semi-annual basis). The verification and
review work conducted by the Administrator does not constitute a 100% verification of the
valuation work of Millennium Management.
The administrative services provided by the Administrator include, among other things,
(i) processing and reviewing subscription documents (and ancillary documentation provided in
connection therewith) submitted by prospective purchasers, (ii) performing checks of prospective
purchasers against the Department of Treasury Office of Financial Assets Control Specialty
Designated National Lists, (iii) generally performing all actions related to the issuance, transfer
and withdrawal of the Offered Interests, (iv) distributing monthly statements to Limited Partners,
and (v) performing certain other administrative and clerical services in connection with the
administration of Millennium USA as agreed between Millennium USA and the Administrator.
Additionally, the Administrator performs independent month-end position reconciliations, along
with a month-end verification with respect to the Master Partnership's cash and positions based
on files it receives directly from the Master Partnership's prime brokers and counterparties and
information it receives from Millennium Management. The office of the Administrator is
located at One South Road, Harrison, New York 10528.
The Administrator may have relationships with providers of technology, data or other
services to Millennium USA and may receive economic and/or other benefits in connection
therewith. The Administrator may subcontract with agents selected by the Administrator in good
faith for administrative and certain other services, provided that the Administrator shall use
commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such affiliation to be disclosed to Millennium USA
at the time such arrangement or transaction is entered into.
The Administrator does not act as guarantor of Millennium USA's Offered Interests.
Moreover, the Administrator is not responsible for any of the trading or investment decisions of
Millennium USA (all of which are made by Millennium Management), or the effect of such
trading decisions on the performance ofMillennium USA.
The Administrator will receive a monthly fee from Millennium USA. Certain
extraordinary out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrator may also be charged to Millennium
USA in accordance with the Services Agreement.

The Services Agreement contains customary indemnification provisions whereby
Millennium USA has agreed to indemnify the Administrator (and its officers, directors,
investors, beneficiaries or employees, and any of their successors or assigns) against any and all
losses, claims, judgments, liabilities, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees) and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with the Services
Agreement, unless the action or omission giving rise thereto is found by a final determination of
an arbitrator, mediator, or court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the fraud,
gross negligence or willful misconduct by such indemnified party in connection with the
performance of its duties and obligations under the Services Agreement. The Administrator's
total liability in connection with the performance of the Services Agreement will be limited to
the then average monthly services fee that was paid during the preceding 12 months, multiplied
by 36.
Fees and Expenses Relating to Millennium USA
Millennium USA is, directly, or through its investment in the Master Partnership,
responsible for:
• all fees and expenses incurred in connection with any transactions, engagements, and
other agreements that it enters into on its own behalf, including, among other things,
the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the private placement of Interests
in Millennium USA (other than placement fees, if any);
• a generally pro rata portion of the fees and expenses incurred by Millennium
Management and its affiliates (the "Millennium Management Group") with respect
to, or in connection with, the Master Partnership and its affiliates or incurred directly
by the Master Partnership (which cover, among other things, Compensation paid to
Portfolio Managers, other employees, consultants, subcontractors, agents, and
investment advisers engaged by the Master Partnership and its affiliates; fees paid to
persons or entities who assist in identifying and recruiting Portfolio Managers;
expenses related to computers, equipment and technology and expenses related to
maintaining offices, including leases and fixtures); and
• a generally pro rata portion of any other fees and expenses incurred by the Master
Partnership, including fees paid for the investment advisory services of Millennium
Capital Partners LLP ("MCP UK") (fees paid to MCP UK are structured so that the
net effect is that only MCP UK's expenses are passed through to investors) (see "The

This means that the Limited Partners of Millennium USA will each bear their respective
pro rata portions of all of Millennium USA's costs, fees, and expenses through reductions in
their capital accounts.
Expenses that are borne by Millennium USA and the other feeder funds, including
Millennium International and Millennium Strategic Capital, generally are allocated pro rata
among Millennium USA and the other feeder funds according to according to the values of the
relative values of their interests in the Master Partnership, but a particular expense may be
allocated differently if Millennium Management and its affiliates determine in their discretion
that it would be fair and reasonable to do so. In addition, certain expenses, including expenses
for office space, services, personnel, equipment and software, among other things, incurred by
the Millennium Management Group in connection with the provision of investment management,
administrative or other services to Millennium USA and other funds, accounts or third parties or
otherwise in connection with the activities of the Millennium Management Group will be
allocated among Millennium USA and the recipients of the services that generate such items of
expense. The Millennium Management Group will seek to allocate such expenses fairly and
equitably among Millennium USA and such other recipients based upon certain estimates and
assumptions that the Millennium Management Group believes are reasonable and appropriate,
but which may be imprecise and may result in Millennium USA's bearing a larger portion of
such expenses than if they were calculated in a different manner. Assets of the Millennium
Management Group, including, without limitation, intellectual property developed in connection
with services provided to Millennium USA and the Master Partnership, may be utilized in the
conduct of other business activities in the sole discretion of the Millennium Management Group
without compensation or reimbursement to Millennium USA.
As described above under "Interests Offered; Terms of the Offering — Allocations of
Gains and Losses," at the end of each fiscal year of Millennium USA, or at such other date
during a fiscal year as of which the following reallocation is required, 20% of the aggregate Net
Capital Appreciation of Millennium USA for the year will be reallocated to Millennium
Management as its Incentive Allocation. The Incentive Allocation is calculated on the basis of
realized and unrealized gains and losses and after all expenses, including a pro raw portion of
the Master Partnership's expenses, as described above, are paid or accrued (See "Interests
Offered; Terms of the Offering — Allocations of Gains and Losses" and "Certain Risk Factors
Relating to Millennium USA — Incentive Allocation").
Allocation of Gains and Losses
A separate capital account will be created on the books of Millennium USA for, and in the
amount of, each capital contribution of a Partner. At the end of each Accounting Period' of
"Accounting Period" means the following periods: each Accounting Period shall commence immediately
after the close of the immediately preceding Accounting Period; each Accounting Period shall close at the
close of business on the first to occur of (i) the last day of Millennium USA's fiscal quarter (which shall be the
calendar quaver). (ii) the date immediately prior to the effective date of the admission of a new Partner
pursuant to the Partnership Agreement. (iii) the date immediately prior to the effective date of a Partner's
capital contribution pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, (iv) the effective date of any withdrawal by a
Partner of capital pursuant to the Partnership Agreement (v) the date when the Partnership shall dissolve or

discretion purstuuu to the Partnership Agreement.

Millennium USA, any Net Capital Appreciation2 or Net Capital Depreciation3 of Millennium
USA, after payment of expenses (see "Certain Risk Factors Relating to Millennium USA —
Compensation of Millennium Management" and "Fees and Expenses Relating to Millennium
USA"), will be tentatively credited or debited to each Partner (including Millennium
Management) in proportion to the opening balances of that Partner's capital account for such
period (the Partner's "Partnership Percentage"). At the end of each fiscal year of Millennium
USA, or at such other date during a fiscal year as of which the following reallocation is required,
20% of the aggregate Net Capital Appreciation of Millennium USA tentatively credited to each
Limited Partner's capital accounts (excluding, in Millennium Management's discretion, capital
accounts of Special Limited Partners4 but including the amount of any Early Withdrawal Charge
withheld for the benefit of such Limited Partners) for the year will be reallocated to the capital
accounts of Millennium Management as its "Incentive Allocation."
The Net Capital Appreciation upon which the calculation of an Incentive Allocation is
based is deemed reduced by the unrecovered balance, if any, in a Limited Partner's "Loss
Recovery Account." A Loss Recovery Account is a memorandum account, established for each
capital account of a Limited Partner upon its creation, the opening balance of which is zero. At
each date that an Incentive Allocation is to be determined, the balance in each Loss Recovery
Account will include the aggregate Net Capital Depreciation since the last date on which a
calculation of the Incentive Allocation was made and be reduced, but not beyond zero, by
aggregate Net Capital Appreciation since such date. In the event that a Limited Partner with an
unrecovered balance in any of its Loss Recovery Accounts withdraws all or a portion of its
related capital accounts, the unrecovered balance in such Loss Recovery Accounts will be
proportionately reduced.
In connection with the (i) downsizing of Millennium USA following a Trigger Event, or
(ii) dissolution of Millennium USA, reserves for liabilities will be established for the estimated
costs of downsizing or liquidating assets and liabilities, such as (without limitation) payments
required as severance for personnel, or for termination of advisory or other agreements or
contracts or leases, and the like. However, such reserves, and all other related costs and
expenses, will be disregarded for the purpose of calculating Net Capital Appreciation or Net
Capital Depreciation in determining the amount of the Incentive Allocation. Reserves, and
related costs and expenses taken by the Master Partnership will also be reflected on the books of
Millennium USA, and similarly disregarded in calculating the Incentive Allocation. Any unused
portion of a reserve established in anticipation of possible downsizing or dissolution of

unrealized losses, from the beginning of each Accounting Period to the end of such Accounting Period.

"Special Limited Partner" is defined as any Limited Partner who is a member, officer, director or employee
of Millennium USA or the Master Partnership: any other Limited Partner, as determined in the sole
discretion of Millennium Management: Millennium Management or any person controlling, controlled by
or under common control with it or any member, officer, director or employee of such person (collectively,

Millennium USA that is not expected to be used will be reversed after Millennium Management,
in its sole discretion, has determined that the need therefor has ceased.
If a Limited Partner withdraws all or a portion of any of its capital accounts other than at
the end of a fiscal year, an Incentive Allocation (the "Interim Year Incentive Allocation") with
respect to such capital accounts will be determined and allocated to the capital account of
Millennium Management on the effective distribution date for the period from the
commencement of Millennium USA's fiscal year through the effective date of distribution. The
Interim Year Incentive Allocation will be based upon the Net Capital Appreciation allocated to
such capital account for the applicable period, pro rated for the portion of the capital accounts
being withdrawn. The next Incentive Allocation from the capital accounts of the Limited Partner
(assuming that such Incentive Allocation is not an additional Interim Year Incentive Allocation)
will be allocated to the capital account of Millennium Management as of the end of the fiscal
year in which the Interim Year Incentive Allocation occurs and will be calculated as follows: an
amount equal to 20% of the aggregate Net Capital Appreciation credited to the capital accounts
of the Limited Partner from the commencement of the fiscal year during which the Interim Year
Incentive Allocation occurred through the end of the fiscal year (disregarding the Interim Year
Incentive Allocation to Millennium Management). The amount of any Incentive Allocation from
the capital accounts of a Limited Partner determined under the preceding sentence will be
reduced by any Interim Year Incentive Allocation. In no event shall any portion of the Interim
Year Incentive Allocation made to Millennium Management be returned to the Limited Partner.
Appropriate fiscal year-end adjustments, if required, will be made to the Limited Partner's Loss
Recovery Accounts.
After an Incentive Allocation has been made from a Limited Partner's capital accounts,
such capital accounts that are part of the same class and are subject to the same withdrawal
period (other than the capital account established with respect to the initial capital contribution
for such class and such withdrawal period of such Limited Partner (the "Initial Capital
Account")) will be combined with the Initial Capital Account of such Limited Partner. A capital
account of a Limited Partner will not be combined with another capital account to the extent that
there is a Loss Recovery Account attributable to it.
The Partnership Agreement provides that Millennium Management may amend the
provisions of the Partnership Agreement relating to the Incentive Allocation so that it conforms
to any applicable requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory
authorities, so long as such amendment does not increase the Incentive Allocation to more than
20% of aggregate Net Capital Appreciation for any fiscal year.
In the event that Millennium Management determines that, for tax or regulatory reasons,
or any other reasons as to which Millennium Management and any Partner agree, the Partner
should not participate in the Net Capital Appreciation or Net Capital Depreciation attributable to
trading in any security or type of security or to any other transaction, Millennium Management
may allocate the Net Capital Appreciation or Net Capital Depreciation only to the capital
accounts of Partners to whom such reasons do not apply, and if appropriate, may establish a
separate memorandum account in which only the Partners having an interest in such security,
type of security or transaction shall have an interest and Net Capital Appreciation and Net
Capital Depreciation for that separate memorandum account will be separately calculated.

Outline of the Partnership Agreement
The following outline summarizes the material provisions of the Partnership Agreement
which are not discussed elsewhere in this Confidential Memorandum. This outline is not
definitive, and each prospective purchaser should carefully read the Partnership Agreement in its
entirety.
Limited Liability. A Limited Partner is liable for debts and obligations ofMillennium USA
only to the extent of its Interest in Millennium USA in the fiscal year (or portion thereof) to which
such debts and obligations are attributable. In order to meet a particular debt or obligation, a
Limited Partner or former Limited Partner shall, in the discretion of Millennium Management, be
required to make additional contributions or payments up to, but in no event in excess of, the
aggregate amount of returns of capital and other amounts actually received by it from Millennium
USA during or after the fiscal year to which such debt or obligation is attributable.
Term; Dissolution. Millennium USA will continue until the earlier of (i) an event of
withdrawal (as defined in the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as amended
(the "Act")) of Millennium Management; provided that Millennium USA will not be dissolved
nor required to be wound up in connection with any such event if (A) at the time of the
occurrence of such event there is at least one remaining general partner of Millennium USA who
is authorized to and does carry on the business of Millennium USA, or (B) within 30 days after
the occurrence of such event, Limited Partners having in excess of 50% of the Partnership
Percentages of the Limited Partners agree in writing to continue the business of Millennium USA
in which case the Limited Partners shall appoint, effective as of the date of such event, one or
more additional general partners of Millennium USA; (ii) such time as Millennium Management,
in its sole discretion, determines in writing to dissolve Millennium USA; (iii) the entry of a
decree of judicial dissolution under Section 17-802 of the Act; or (iv) at any time there are no
Limited Partners, unless Millennium USA is continued without dissolution pursuant to the Act.
On dissolution of Millennium USA, withdrawals will be terminated and no further
business will be done except the completion of incomplete transactions and the taking of such
action as will be necessary for the winding up of the affairs of Millennium USA and the
distribution of its assets. In connection with the dissolution of Millennium USA, reserves for
liabilities will be established for the estimated costs of liquidating assets and liabilities, such as
(without limitation) payments required as severance for personnel, or for termination of advisory
or other agreements or contracts or leases, and the like. However, such reserves, and all other
related costs and expenses, will be disregarded for the purpose of calculating Net Capital
Appreciation or Net Capital Depredation in determining the amount of the Incentive Allocation.
Reserves, and related costs and expenses, taken by the Master Partnership will also be reflected
on the books of Millennium USA, and treated similarly in calculating the Incentive Allocation.
Any unused portion of a reserve established in anticipation of dissolution of Millennium USA
that is not expected to be used will be reversed after Millennium Management, in its sole
discretion, has determined that the need therefor has ceased.
Capital Accounts. A separate capital account will be established on the books of
Millennium USA for, and in the amount of, each capital contribution made by each Partner. A
Partnership Percentage is determined for each Partner for each Accounting Period by dividing its
-MAXWELL I-39
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001316
EFTA00236962
capital accounts as of the beginning of such Accounting Period by the aggregate capital accounts
of all Partners as of the beginning of such Accounting Period.
Each Limited Partner's capital account is increased to reflect its share of Net Capital
Appreciation, and is decreased to reflect withdrawals of capital, distributions and such Partner's
share of Net Capital Depreciation.
Additional Capital Contributions. With the prior approval of Millennium Management
(which approval may be withheld for any reason or no reason), a Limited Partner may make
additional capital contributions to Millennium USA at such time as Millennium Management
may permit.
Additional contributions by an existing Limited Partner will be subject to a new
withdrawal period based on the class of Interest purchased and will be placed in a separate
capital account. The Net Capital Appreciation and Net Capital Depreciation attributable to a
Limited Partner's capital account for one class of Interest will not be aggregated with, or offset
by, the Net Capital Appreciation and Net Capital Depreciation attributable to any other capital
account held by the Limited Partner with respect to a different class of Interest.
Management. The management of Millennium USA is vested exclusively in Millennium
Management.
Valuation of Partnership Assets. Millennium USA's assets are valued by Millennium
Management in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
Liabilities; Reserves. The liabilities of Millennium USA will be determined in
accordance with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis, except as described below. Millennium
Management may also at any time or times establish reserves (whether or not in accordance with
GAAP) for estimated or accrued expenses, liabilities or contingencies, including in connection
with the dissolution of Millennium USA or any downsizing of Millennium USA following a
Trigger Event. If reserves are established that are not in accordance with GAAP, they will be
treated in the same manner as reserves that are in accordance with GAAP, i.e., in the period in
which they are taken they will be treated as an expense of Millennium USA (and will reduce the
net assets of Millennium USA), and, if and to the extent that they are subsequently reversed they
will be taken into income in the period of such reversal (and will to that extent increase the net
assets of Millennium USA).
Death. Disability. etc. of a Limited Partner. In the event of the death, disability,
adjudication of incompetency, bankruptcy, termination or dissolution of a Limited Partner, such
Limited Partner or its personal representative (as defined in the Act) will be permitted to
withdraw from Millennium USA as of the next occurring date on which the Limited Partner
could have withdrawn without regard to such death, disability, adjudication of incompetency,
bankruptcy, termination or dissolution. Unless and until notice of withdrawal is properly given
and such withdrawal occurs, the capital accounts of such Limited Partner will continue at the risk
of Millennium USA's business until the effective date of the withdrawal or the earlier
termination of Millennium USA.
MAXWELL I40
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001317
EFTA00236963
Assignability of Partner's Interest. Without the prior written consent of Millennium
Management, which may be withheld in its sole discretion, a Partner may not (i) pledge, transfer
or assign its Interest in Millennium USA in whole or in part to any person except by operation of
law or (ii) substitute for itself as a Partner any other person.
Admission of New Partners. Additional general partners and Limited Partners may, with
the consent of Millennium Management, be admitted to Millennium USA at any time. Each new
Partner is required to execute an agreement pursuant to which it becomes bound by the terms of the
Partnership Agreement.
Variation of Terms. Millennium Management may enter into a written agreement with a
Limited Partner governing the following terms, among others: (i) the payment by such Limited
Partner of a fee to Millennium Management in connection with the admission or the withdrawal
from Millennium USA of such Limited Partner (which fee may, in Millennium Management's sole
discretion, be paid to Millennium Management or such other persons as Millennium Management
determines); (ii) the application of a lower or a higher performance-based percentage allocation
than the Incentive Allocation to the capital accounts of such Limited Partner; (iii) the application
of withdrawal and distribution arrangements that vary from those applicable to other Limited
Partners; and (iv) the application of death, disability, bankruptcy or withdrawal arrangements that
vary from those applicable to other Limited Partners. However, as noted above under "Millennium
USA's Organization, Management, Structure, and Operations," Millennium USA no longer enters
into contractual arrangements or undertakings providing for withdrawal rights materially
different from those generally available (subject to exceptions in order to address regulatory, tax
or similar requirements applicable to certain investors and in connection with deferred
compensation arrangements described under "Certain Risk Factors Relating to Millennium USA
— Investment in the Master Partnership by Millennium Management and its Affiliates and
Portfolio Managers").
Amendments to Partnership Agreement. The Partnership Agreement may be modified or
amended at any time by the written approval of Partners having in excess of 50% of the
Partnership Percentages of the Limited Partners and the written approval of Millennium
Management. Without the approval of the other Partners, however, Millennium Management may
amend the Partnership Agreement to (i) reflect changes validly made in the membership of
Millennium USA and the capital contributions and Partnership Percentages of the Partners; (ii)
change the provisions relating to the Incentive Allocation so that such provisions conform to any
applicable requirements of the SEC and other regulatory authorities, so long as such amendment
does not increase the Incentive Allocation to more than 20% of aggregate Net Capital Appreciation
for any fiscal year, (iii) reflect a change in the name of Millennium USA; (iv) make a change that
is necessary or, in the opinion of Millennium Management, advisable to qualify Millennium USA
as a limited partnership or a partnership in which the Limited Partners have limited liability under
the laws of any state, or ensure that Millennium USA is not classified as an association taxable as a
corporation or treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for Federal tax
purposes; (v) make a change that does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any material
respect; (vi) make a change that is necessary or desirable to cure any ambiguity, to correct or
supplement any provision in the Partnership Agreement that is inconsistent with any other
provision in the Partnership Agreement, or to change any other provision with respect to matters or
questions arising under the Partnership Agreement that is not inconsistent with the provisions of
MAXWELL I-41
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001318
EFTA00236964
the Partnership Agreement, in each case so long as such change does not adversely affect the
Limited Partners; (vii) make a change that is necessary or desirable to satisfy any requirements,
conditions or guidelines contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of any
federal or state statute, so long as such change is made in a manner which minimizes any adverse
effect on the Limited Partners; or (viii) make a change that is required or contemplated by the
Partnership Agreement; (ix) make a change in any provision of the Partnership Agreement that
requires any action to be taken by or on behalf of Millennium Management or Millennium USA
pursuant to the requirements of applicable Delaware law if the provisions of applicable Delaware
law are amended, modified or revoked so that the taking of such action is no longer required; (x)
prevent Millennium USA or Millennium Management from being deemed in any manner an
"Investment Company" subject to the provisions of the Investment Company Act; (xi) reflect the
terms of the issuance of new classes (or combination of classes or conversion of one class into
another class) of Interests so long as such amendment does not adversely affect the terms of the
other classes of Interests in any material respect; or (xii) make any other amendments similar to
the foregoing. Each Partner, however, must consent to any amendment which would (a) reduce its
capital accounts or rights of contribution or withdrawal; or (b) amend the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement relating to amendments.
Reports to Partners. Millennium Management generally expects to provide Limited
Partners with access to monthly investor balances and quarterly statements. Quarterly
information will include an unaudited balance sheet and statement of operations of Millennium
USA and an unaudited statement of changes in individual partner's capital from the end of the
previous quarter for such Limited Partner. Millennium Management will also provide a semi-
annual and an annual unaudited statement of changes in individual partner's capital and semi-
annual and annual audited financial statements of Millennium USA. All information is available
via a secure website.
It should also be noted that Millennium Management and its affiliates reserve the right to
provide, and may on occasion provide, certain information to Limited Partners who request such
information. For instance, Millennium Management and its affiliates generally make their
representatives available to answer questions from investors concerning Millennium USA,
including with respect to the investments of Millennium USA. During those conversations,
certain investors may receive information and reporting that other shareholders may not receive,
and such information may affect an investor's decisions regarding Millennium USA.
Exculpation. The Partnership Agreement provides that none of Millennium Management
or its affiliates will be liable to any Limited Partner or Millennium USA for mistakes of judgment
or for action or inaction which said person reasonably believed to be legally permissible and not
contrary to the best interests of Millennium USA, or for losses due to such mistakes, action or
inaction or to the negligence, dishonesty or bad faith of any employee, broker or other agent of
Millennium USA; provided that such employee, broker or agent was selected, engaged or retained
by Millennium USA with reasonable care. Millennium Management and its affiliates may consult
with counsel, accountants and/or other experts in respect of Millennium USA's affairs and be fully
protected and justified in any action or inaction which is taken in good faith in accordance with the
advice or opinion of such counsel, accountants and/or other experts; provided that they were
selected with reasonable care.

The exculpation provisions of the Partnership Agreement will not be construed so as to
provide for the exculpation of Millennium Management or its affiliates for any liability (including
liability under Federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on
persons that act in good faith), to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exculpation would be
in violation of applicable law, but will be construed so as to effectuate such provisions to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
Indemnification of General Partners. The Partnership Agreement provides that Millennium
USA will indemnify and hold harmless Millennium Management, its affiliates and its and their
respective personal representatives (as defined in the Act) (each an "Indemnified Party"), to the
fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any loss or expense suffered or sustained by an
Indemnified Party by reason of the fact that it is or was an Indemnified Party, including, without
limitation any judgment, settlement, reasonable attorney's fees and other costs or expenses
incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action or proceeding; provided
that such loss or expense resulted from a mistake of judgment on the part of an Indemnified Party,
or from action or inaction that said Indemnified Party reasonably believed to be legally permissible
and not contrary to the best interests of Millennium USA. Millennium USA will, in the sole
discretion of Millennium Management, advance to any Indemnified Party, reasonable attorney's
fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any action or
proceeding that arises out of such conduct. The Indemnified Parties will agree that in the event an
Indemnified Party receives any such advance, such Indemnified Party will reimburse Millennium
USA for such fees, costs and expenses to the extent it is determined that it was not entitled to
indemnification.
The indemnification provisions of the Partnership Agreement will not be construed so as to
provide for the indemnification of an Indemnified Party for any liability (including liability under
Federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on persons that
act in good faith), to the extent (but only to the extent) that such indemnification would be in
violation of applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate such provisions to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
Required Notifications. Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, each Limited
Partner agrees to notify Millennium Management promptly if there is any change with respect to
any information or representations made by such Limited Partner in the subscription documents
submitted by or on behalf of such Limited Partner in connection with (i) its acquisition of an
Interest or (ii) any additional capital contributions made by such Limited Partner.

TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN (OR IN ANY SUCH OPINION OF
COUNSEL); AND (3) EACH TAXPAYER SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THE
TAXPAYER'S PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX
ADVISOR.
The following is a summary of certain aspects of the income taxation of Millennium USA
and its Partners which should be considered by a Limited Partner. Millennium USA has not
sought a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") or any other federal, state or
local agency with respect to any of the tax issues affecting Millennium USA, nor has it obtained
an opinion of counsel with respect to any federal tax issues other than the characterization of
Millennium USA and the Master Partnership as partnerships for federal tax purposes.
This summary of certain aspects of the federal income tax treatment of Millennium USA
is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), judicial decisions,
Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations") and rulings in existence on the date hereof, as well as
the tax laws of a number of non-U.S. jurisdictions, all of which are subject to change. This
summary does not discuss the impact of various proposals to amend the Code or non-U.S. tax
laws, which could change certain of the tax consequences of an investment in Millennium USA.
This summary also does not discuss all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a
particular investor or to certain investors subject to special treatment under the federal income
tax laws, such as insurance companies.
EACH PROSPECTIVE LIMITED PARTNER SHOULD CONSULT WITH ITS
OWN TAX ADVISOR IN ORDER TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE FEDERAL, STATE,
LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN
MILLENNIUM USA.
In addition to the particular matters set forth in this section, tax-exempt organizations
should review carefully those sections of this Confidential Memorandum regarding liquidity and
other financial matters to ascertain whether the investment objectives of Millennium USA are
consistent with their overall investment plans. Each prospective tax-exempt Limited Partner is
urged to consult its own counsel regarding the acquisition of Interests.
Tax Treatment ofPartnership Operations
Classification of Millennium USA and the Master Partnership. Each of Millennium USA
and the Master Partnership has received an opinion of Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, its counsel,
that under the provisions of the Code and the Regulations, as in effect on the date of the opinion,
as well as under the relevant authority interpreting the Code and the Regulations, and based upon
certain representations of Millennium Management, it will be classified as a partnership for
federal tax purposes and not as an association taxable as a corporation. Schulte Roth & Zabel
LLP has also rendered its opinion, based upon the respective anticipated operations of
Millennium USA and the Master Partnership as well as certain representations of Millennium
Management, that neither Millennium USA nor the Master Partnership will be treated as a
"publicly traded partnership" taxable as a corporation.
Unless otherwise indicated, references in the following discussion to the tax
consequences of Millennium USA investments, activities, income, gain and loss, include the
MAXWELL I-44
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001321
EFTA00236967
direct investments, activities, income, gain and loss of Millennium USA, and those indirectly
attributable to Millennium USA as a result of it being a partner of the Master Partnership.
As a partnership, Millennium USA is not itself subject to federal income tax. Millennium
USA files an annual partnership information return with the Service which reports the results of
operations. Each Partner is required to report separately on its income tax return its distributive
share of Millennium USA's net long-term capital gain or loss, net short-term capital gain or loss
and all other items of ordinary income or loss. Each Partner is taxed on its distributive share of
Millennium USA's taxable income and gain regardless of whether it has received or will receive
a distribution from Millennium USA.
Allocation of Profits and Losses. Under the Partnership Agreement, Millennium USA's
net capital appreciation or net capital depreciation for each accounting period is allocated among
the Partners and is debited or credited to their capital accounts. The Partnership Agreement
provides that items of income, deduction, gain, loss or credit for each fiscal year generally are to
be allocated for income tax purposes among the Partners pursuant to the principles of
Regulations issued under Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code, based upon amounts of
Millennium USA's net capital appreciation or net capital depreciation allocated to each Partner's
capital account. There can be no assurance however, that the particular methodology of
allocations used by Millennium USA will be accepted by the Service. If such allocations are
successfully challenged by the Service, the allocation of Millennium USA's tax items among the
Partners may be affected.
Under the Partnership Agreement, Millennium Management has the discretion to allocate
specially an amount of Millennium USA's ordinary income and/or capital gain (including short-
term capital gain) and deductions, ordinary loss and/or capital loss (including long-term capital
loss) for federal income tax purposes to a withdrawing Partner to the extent that the Partner's
capital account exceeds, or is less than, as the case may be, its federal income tax basis in its
Interests. There can be no assurance that, if Millennium Management makes any such special
allocations, the Service will accept such allocations. If such allocations are successfully
challenged by the Service, Millennium USA's tax items allocable to the remaining Partners
would be affected.
Tax Elections; Returns; Tax Audits. The Code generally provides for optional
adjustments to the basis of partnership property upon distributions of partnership property to a
partner and transfers of partnership interests (including by reason of death) provided that a
partnership election has been made pursuant to Section 754. Under the Partnership Agreement,
Millennium Management, in its sole discretion, may cause Millennium USA to make such an
election. Any such election, once made, cannot be revoked without the Service's consent. The
actual effect of any such election may depend upon whether the Master Partnership also makes
such an election. As a result of the complexity and added expense of the tax accounting required
to implement such an election, Millennium Management presently does not intend to make such
election.
Millennium Management decides how to report the partnership items on Millennium
USA's tax returns. In certain cases, Millennium USA may be required to file a statement with
the Service disclosing one or more positions taken on its tax return, generally where the tax law
MAXWELL 1-45
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001322
EFTA00236968
is uncertain or a position lacks clear authority. MI Partners are required under the Code to treat
the partnership items consistently on their own returns, unless they file a statement with the
Service disclosing the inconsistency. Given the uncertainty and complexity of the tax laws, it is
possible that the Service may not agree with the manner in which Millennium USA's items have
been reported. In the event the income tax returns of Millennium USA are audited by the
Service, the tax treatment of Millennium USA's income and deductions generally is determined
at the limited partnership level in a single proceeding rather than by individual audits of the
Partners. Millennium Management, designated as the "Tax Matters Partner," has considerable
authority to make decisions affecting the tax treatment and procedural rights of all Partners. In
addition, the Tax Matters Partner has the authority to bind certain Partners to settlement
agreements and the right on behalf of all Partners to extend the statute of limitations relating to
the Partners' tax liabilities with respect to Millennium USA items.
Mandatory Basis Adjustments. Millennium USA is generally required to adjust its tax
basis in its assets in respect of all Partners in cases of partnership distributions that result in a
"substantial basis reduction" (i.e., in excess of $250,000) in respect of Millennium USA's
property. Millennium USA is also required to adjust its tax basis in its assets in respect of a
transferee, in the case of a sale or exchange of an Interest, or a transfer upon death, when there
exists a "substantial built-in loss" (i.e., in excess of $250,000) in respect of partnership property
immediately after the transfer. For this reason, Millennium USA will require (i) a Partner who
receives a distribution from Millennium USA in connection with a complete withdrawal, (ii) a
transferee of an Interest (including a transferee in case of death) and (iii) any other Partner in
appropriate circumstances to provide Millennium USA with information regarding its adjusted
tax basis in its Interest. The Master Partnership has a similar tax basis adjustment obligation
with respect to distributions by, and sales or transfers of interests in, the Master Partnership.
Tax Consequences to a Withdrawing Limited Partner
A Limited Partner receiving a cash liquidating distribution from Millennium USA, in
connection with a complete withdrawal from Millennium USA, generally will recognize capital
gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the proceeds received by such Limited
Partner and such Limited Partner's adjusted tax basis in its Interest. Such capital gain or loss
will be short-term, long-term or some combination of both, depending upon the timing of the
Limited Partner's contributions to Millennium USA. However, a withdrawing Limited Partner
will recognize ordinary income to the extent such Limited Partner's allocable share of
Millennium USA's "unrealized receivables" exceeds the Limited Partner's basis in such
unrealized receivables (as determined pursuant to the Regulations). For these purposes, accrued
but untaxed market discount, if any, on securities held by Millennium USA will be treated as an
unrealized receivable, with respect to which a withdrawing Limited Partner would recognize
ordinary income. A Limited Partner receiving a cash nonliquidating distribution will recognize
income in a similar manner only to the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds such
Limited Partner's adjusted tax basis in its Interest.
As discussed above, the Partnership Agreement provides that Millennium Management
may specially allocate items of Millennium USA ordinary income and/or capital gain (including
short-term capital gain) and deductions, ordinary loss and/or capital loss (including long-term
capital loss) to a withdrawing Partner to the extent its capital account would otherwise exceed or
-MAXWELL I-46
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001323
EFTA00236969
be less than, as the case may be, its adjusted tax basis in its Interest. Such a special allocation of
income or gain may result in the withdrawing Partner recognizing ordinary income and/or capital
gain, which may include short-term capital gain, in the Partner's last taxable year in Millennium
USA, thereby reducing the amount of long-term capital gain recognized during the tax year in
which it receives its liquidating distribution upon withdrawal. Such a special allocation of
deduction or loss may result in the withdrawing Partner recognizing ordinary loss and/or capital
loss, which may include long-term capital loss, in the Partner's last taxable year in Millennium
USA, thereby reducing the amount of short-term capital loss recognized during the tax year in
which it receives its liquidating distribution upon withdrawal.
Distributions of Property. A partner's receipt of a distribution of property from a
partnership is generally not taxable. However, under Section 731 of the Code, a distribution
consisting of marketable securities generally is treated as a distribution of cash (rather than
property) unless the distributing partnership is an "investment partnership" within the meaning of
Section 731(cX3XCXi) and the recipient is an "eligible partner" within the meaning of Section
731(c)(3XCXiii). Millennium USA will determine at the appropriate time whether it qualifies as
an "investment partnership." Assuming it so qualifies, if a Limited Partner is an "eligible
partner," which term should include a Limited Partner whose contributions to Millennium USA
consisted solely of cash, the rule treating a distribution of property as a distribution of cash
would not apply.
Tax Treatment ofMillennium USA Investments
In General. The Master Partnership is engaged in a trade or business as a trader in
securities and commodities. The Master Partnership has elected to report its income from sales
of securities and commodities held in connection with such trade or business on a "mark-to-
market" basis for Federal income tax purposes. Under this accounting method, (i) gains or losses
recognized by the Master Partnership upon an actual disposition of securities and commodities
held in connection with such trade or business are treated as ordinary income or loss and (ii) any
such securities and commodities held by the Master Partnership on the last day of each taxable
year are treated as if they were sold by the Master Partnership for their fair market value on that
day, and gains or losses recognized on this deemed sale will be treated as ordinary income or
loss. For purposes of measuring gain or loss with respect to any such security or commodity in
any subsequent year, the amount of any gain or loss previously recognized under the mark-to-
market rules is taken into account in determining the tax basis for the security or commodity.
The Master Partnership is required to identify any securities and commodities that are not held in
connection with such trade or business on the day such securities or commodities are acquired.
If the Master Partnership fails to properly identify a security or commodity that is not held in
connection with such trade or business, the Service may require the Master Partnership to
recognize "mark-to-market" gains on such security or commodity as ordinary income at the end
of each taxable year, but defer recognition of any "mark-to-market" losses, to the extent they
exceed gains previously recognized with respect to such security or commodity, until the security
or commodity is sold. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the Service will agree that the
Master Partnership's securities and commodities activities will constitute trading rather than
investing, in which case the Master Partnership may not be able to mark-to-market its positions.
Millennium USA has also made a similar "mark-to-market" election described above.
NM -MAXWELL I-47
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001324
EFTA00236970
The Master Partnership may realize ordinary income from dividends and accruals of
interest on securities. Income or loss from transactions involving certain derivative instruments,
such as swap transactions, will also generally constitute ordinary income or loss. As described
below, gain or loss from certain "Section 1256 Contracts" (defined below) held in connection
with the securities trading activities will be treated as capital gain or loss.
To the extent positions are treated as held for investment by Millennium USA or the
Master Partnership, they would not be subject to the "mark-to-market" election described above.
Gains and losses on such investment positions would be realized on the sale of the positions and
would generally be capital gains and losses. Capital gains and losses recognized by Millennium
USA or the Master Partnership may be long-term or short-term depending, in general, upon the
length of time Millennium USA or the Master Partnership maintains a particular investment
position and, in some cases, upon the nature of the transaction. Property held for more than one
year generally will be eligible for long-term capital gain or loss treatment.
The current maximum ordinary income tax rate for individuals is 39.6% and, in general,
the current maximum individual income tax rate for "Qualified Dividends"5 and long-term
capital gains is 20%6 (unless the taxpayer elects to be taxed at ordinary rates — see "Limitation on
Deductibility of Interest and Short Sale Expenses" below), although in all cases the actual rates
may be higher due to the phase out of certain tax deductions, exemptions and credits. The excess
of capital losses over capital gains may be offset against the ordinary income of an individual
taxpayer, subject to an annual deduction limitation of $3,000. Capital losses of an individual
taxpayer may generally be carried forward to succeeding tax years to offset capital gains and
then ordinary income (subject to the $3,000 annual limitation). For corporate taxpayers, the
current maximum income tax rate is 35%. Capital losses of a corporate taxpayer may be offset
only against capital gains, but unused capital losses may be carried back three years (subject to
certain limitations) and carried forward five years. In addition, individuals, estates and trusts are
subject to a Medicare tax of 3.8% on "net investment income" (or undistributed "net investment
income", in the case of estates and trusts) for each taxable year beginning after December 31,
2012, with such tax applying to the lesser of such income or the excess of such person's adjusted
gross income (with certain adjustments) over a specified amount.' Net investment income
includes net income from interest, dividends, annuities, royalties and rents and net gain
attributable to the disposition of investment property. It is anticipated that net income and gain
attributable to an investment in Millennium USA will be included in an investor's "net
investment income" subject to this Medicare tax.
Certain Section 1256 Contracts. A Section 1256 Contract includes certain futures
contracts, and certain other contracts. With respect to any Section 1256 Contracts which are not
A "Qualified Dividend" is generally a dividend from certain domestic corporations. and from certain
foreign corporations that arc either eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the
United States or are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Shares must
be held for certain holding periods in order for a dividend thereon to be a Qualified Dividend.

The quoted rates are effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012.
The amount is $250,000 for married individuals filing jointly, $125,000 for married individuals filing
separately, $200,000 for other individuals and the dollar amount at which the highest income tax bracket

EFTA00236971
treated as "commodities" for purposes of Section 475, gains and losses from such Section 1256
Contracts are marked to market annually, and generally are characterized as short-term capital
gains or losses to the extent of 40% thereof and as long-term capital gains or losses to the extent of
60% thereof. Gains and losses from Section 1256 Contracts will be treated as ordinary income and
losses, if such Section 1256 Contracts are held to hedge property which would generate ordinary
loss if sold at a loss or if such Section 1256 Contracts are held by the Master Partnership in
connection with the commodities trade or business. If an individual taxpayer incurs a net capital
loss for a year, the portion thereof, if any, which consists of a net loss on such Section 1256
Contracts may, at the election of the taxpayer, be carried back three years. Losses so carried
back may be deducted only against net capital gain to the extent that such gain includes gains on
Section 1256 Contracts. A Section 1256 Contract does not include a "securities futures contract"
or any option on such a contract, other than a "dealer securities futures contract."
Generally, a "securities futures contract" is a contract of sale for future delivery of a
single security or a narrow-based security index. A "dealer securities futures contract" is treated
as a Section 1256 Contract. A "dealer securities futures contract" is a securities futures contract,
or an option to enter into such a contract, that (1) is entered into by a dealer (or, in the case of an
option, is purchased or granted by the dealer) in the normal course of its trade or business
activity of dealing in the contracts and (2) is traded on a qualified board of trade or exchange.
Mixed Straddle Election. The Code allows a taxpayer to elect to offset gains and losses
from positions which are part of a "mixed straddle." A "mixed straddle" is any straddle in which
one or more but not all positions are Section 1256 Contracts. Pursuant to Temporary
Regulations, Millennium USA may be eligible to elect to establish one or more mixed straddle
accounts for certain of its mixed straddle trading positions. The mixed straddle account rules
require a daily "marking to market" of all open positions in the account and a daily netting of
gains and losses from positions in the account. At the end of a taxable year, the annual net gains
or losses from the mixed straddle account are recognized for tax purposes. The application of
the Temporary Regulations' mixed straddle account rules is not entirely clear. Therefore, there
is no assurance that a mixed straddle account election by Millennium USA will be accepted by
the Service.
Effect of Straddle Rules on Limited Partners' Securities Positions. The Service may treat
certain positions in securities held (directly or indirectly) by a Partner and its indirect interest in
similar securities held by Millennium USA as "straddles" for federal income tax purposes.
Investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the "straddle" rules to
their investment in Millennium USA.
Limitation on Deductibility of Interest and Short Sale Expenses. For noncorporate
taxpayers, Section 163(d) of the Code limits the deduction for "investment interest" (i.e., interest
or short sale expenses for "indebtedness properly allocable to property held for investment").
Investment interest is not deductible in the current year to the extent that it exceeds the
taxpayer's "net investment income," consisting of net gain and ordinary income derived from
investments in the current year less certain directly connected expenses (other than interest or
short sale expenses). For this purpose, Qualified Dividends and long-term capital gains are
excluded from net investment income unless the taxpayer elects to pay tax on such amounts at
ordinary income tax rates.
-MAXWELL I-49
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001326
EFTA00236972
For purposes of this provision, Millennium USA's activities (other than certain activities
that are treated as "passive activities" under Section 469 of the Code) will be treated as giving
rise to investment income for a Limited Partner, and the investment interest limitation would
apply to a noncorporate Limited Partner's share of the interest and short sale expenses
attributable to Millennium USA's operation. In such case, a noncorporate Limited Partner would
be denied a deduction for all or part of that portion of its distributive share of Millennium USA's
ordinary losses attributable to interest and short sale expenses unless it had sufficient investment
income from all sources including Millennium USA. A Limited Partner that could not deduct
losses currently as a result of the application of Section 163(d) would be entitled to carry forward
such losses to future years, subject to the same limitation. The investment interest limitation
would also apply to interest paid by a noncorporate Limited Partner on money borrowed to
finance its investment in Millennium USA. Potential investors are advised to consult with their
own tax advisors with respect to the application of the investment interest limitation in their
particular tax situations.
Deductibility of Millennium USA Investment Expenditures and Certain Other
Expenditures. Investment expenses (e.g., investment advisory fees) of an individual, trust or
estate are deductible only to the extent they exceed 2% of adjusted gross income. In addition, for
taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, the Code further restricts the ability of an
individual with an adjusted gross income in excess of a specified amounts to deduct such
investment expenses. Under such provision, there is a limitation on the deductibility of
investment expenses in excess of 2% of adjusted gross income to the extent such excess
expenses (along with certain other itemized deductions) exceed the lesser of (i) 3% of the excess
of the individual's adjusted gross income over the specified amount or (ii) 80% of the amount of
certain itemized deductions otherwise allowable for the taxable year. Moreover, such investment
expenses are miscellaneous itemized deductions which are not deductible by a noncorporate
taxpayer in calculating its alternative minimum tax liability.
Pursuant to Temporary Regulations issued by the Treasury Department, these limitations
on deductibility should not apply to a noncorporate Limited Partner's share of the expenses of
the Master Partnership to the extent that the Master Partnership is engaged, as it expects to be, in
a trade or business within the meaning of the Code. However, there can be no assurance that the
Service may not treat such expenses as investment expenses which are subject to the limitations.
In addition, these limitations may apply to certain expenses of the Master Partnership and
Millennium USA, the fee to the Administrator and payments made on certain derivative
instruments to the extent allocable to activities, if any, that are not part of the Master
Partnership's or Millennium USA's trade or business (including investments, if any, in
partnerships that are not managed by Millennium Management or its affiliates, or investments
that are treated as held for investment).
8
For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, the specified amount is $300,000 for married
individuals filing jointly, $150,000 for married individuals filing separately, $275,000 for heads of
household and $250,000 for other individuals.
M= -MAXWELL I-50
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001327
EFTA00236973
The consequences of these limitations will vary depending upon the particular tax
situation of each taxpayer. Accordingly, noncorporate Limited Partners should consult their tax
advisors with respect to the application of these limitations.
A Limited Partner will not be allowed to deduct syndication expenses attributable to the
acquisition of an Interest, including placement fees, paid by such Limited Partner or Millennium
USA. Any such amounts will be included in the Limited Partner's adjusted tax basis for its
Interest.
Application of Rules for Income and Losses from Passive Activities. The Code restricts
the deductibility of losses from a "passive activity" against certain income which is not derived
from a passive activity. This restriction applies to individuals, personal service corporations and
certain closely held corporations. Pursuant to Temporary Regulations issued by the Treasury
Department, income or loss from Millennium USA's securities investment and trading activity
generally will not constitute income or loss from a passive activity. Therefore, passive losses
from other sources generally could not be deducted against a Limited Partner's share of such
income and gain from Millennium USA. Income or loss attributable to certain activities of
Millennium USA, including investments in partnerships engaged in certain trades or businesses
may constitute passive activity income or loss.
Application of Basis and "At Risk" Limitations on Deductions. The amount of any loss
ofMillennium USA that a Limited Partner is entitled to include in its income tax return is limited
to its adjusted tax basis in its Interest as of the end of Millennium USA's taxable year in which
such loss occurred. Generally, a Limited Partner's adjusted tax basis for its Interest is equal to
the amount paid for such Interest, increased by the sum of (i) its share of Millennium USA's
liabilities, as determined for federal income tax purposes, and (ii) its distributive share of
Millennium USA's realized income and gains, and decreased (but not below zero) by the sum of
(i) distributions (including decreases in its share of Millennium USA liabilities) made by
Millennium USA to such Limited Partner and (ii) such Limited Partner's distributive share of
Millennium USA's realized losses and expenses.
Similarly, a Limited Partner that is subject to the "at risk" limitations (generally,
noncorporate taxpayers and closely held corporations) may not deduct losses of Millennium
USA to the extent that they exceed the amount such Limited Partner has "at risk" with respect to
its Interest at the end of the year. The amount that a Limited Partner has "at risk" will generally
be the same as its adjusted basis as described above, except that it will generally not include any
amount attributable to liabilities of Millennium USA or any amount borrowed by the Limited
Partner on a non-recourse basis.
Losses denied under the basis or "at risk" limitations are suspended and may be carried
forward in subsequent taxable years, subject to these and other applicable limitations.
"Phantom Income" From Millennium USA Investments. Pursuant to various "anti-
deferral" provisions of the Code (the "Subpart F" and "passive foreign investment company"
provisions), investments (if any) by Millennium USA in certain foreign corporations may cause a
Limited Partner to recognize taxable income prior to Millennium USA's receipt of distributable
proceeds.

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001328
EFTA00236974
U.S. Withholding Taxes
Certain interest, dividends and "dividend equivalent payments" received by the Master
Partnership from sources within the United States may be subject to withholding taxes imposed
by the United States. The Limited Partners will be informed by Millennium USA as to their
proportionate share of the U.S. taxes paid by the Master Partnership, if any, which they will be
required to include in their income. The Limited Partners should be entitled to claim an
unrestricted credit or refund for their share of such U.S. taxes in computing their own federal
income tax liability.
In order to avoid a U.S. withholding tax of 30% on certain payments (including payments
of gross proceeds) made with respect to certain actual and deemed U.S. investments, the Master
Partnership will be required to enter into an agreement with the Service by December 31, 2013
identifying certain direct and indirect U.S. account holders (including debtholders and
equityholders). Limited Partners should consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible
implications of these rules on their investment in Interests.
Reporting Requirements
Regulations generally impose an information reporting requirement on a U.S. person's
direct and indirect contributions of cash or property to a foreign partnership such as the Master
Partnership where, (i) immediately after the contribution, the U.S. person owns (directly,
indirectly or by attribution) at least a 10% interest in the foreign partnership or (ii) the value of
the cash and/or property transferred during the twelve-month period ending on the date of the
contribution by the transferor (or any related person) exceeds $100,000. Under these rules, a
Limited Partner will be deemed to have transferred a proportionate share of the cash and
property contributed by Millennium USA to the Master Partnership. Furthermore, if a U.S.
person was required to report a transfer to a foreign partnership of appreciated property under the
first sentence of this paragraph, and the foreign partnership disposes of the property while such
U.S. person remains a direct or indirect partner, that U.S. person must report the disposition by
the partnership. However, a Limited Partner will not be required to file information returns with
respect to the events described in this paragraph if Millennium USA complies with the reporting
requirements. Millennium USA intends to file the required reports with the Service so as to
relieve the Limited Partners of these reporting obligations.
Regulations also generally impose a reporting requirement on any U.S. Limited Partner
which, at any time during the taxable year of the Master Partnership, owns (indirectly or by
attribution) more than 50% of the capital or profits of the Master Partnership. Millennium
Management will notify any Limited Partner who owns the requisite indirect interest in the
Master Partnership and will assist such person in meeting their reporting obligations.
The foregoing discussion is only a brief summary of certain information reporting
requirements. Substantial penalties may apply if the required reports are not made on
time. Partners are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning these
reporting requirements as they relate to their investment in Millennium USA.

UnrelatedBusiness Taxable Income
Generally, an exempt organization is exempt from federal income tax on its passive
investment income, such as dividends, interest and capital gains, whether realized by the
organization directly or indirectly through a partnership in which it is a partner.9 This type of
income is exempt even if it is realized from securities trading activity which constitutes a trade or
business.
This general exemption from tax does not apply to the "unrelated business taxable
income" ("UBTI") of an exempt organization. Generally, except as noted above with respect to
certain categories of exempt trading activity, UBTI includes income or gain derived (either
directly or through partnerships) from a trade or business, the conduct of which is substantially
unrelated to the exercise or performance of the organization's exempt purpose or function.
UBTI also includes "unrelated debt-financed income," which generally consists of (i) income
derived by an exempt organization (directly or through a partnership) from income-producing
property with respect to which there is "acquisition indebtedness" at any time during the taxable
year, and (ii) gains derived by an exempt organization (directly or through a partnership) from
the disposition of property with respect to which there is "acquisition indebtedness" at any time
during the twelve-month period ending with the date of such disposition. With respect to its
investments in partnerships engaged in a trade or business, Millennium USA's income (or loss)
from these investments may constitute UBTI.
Millennium USA may incur "acquisition indebtedness" with respect to certain of its
transactions, such as the purchase of securities on margin. Based upon a published ruling issued
by the Service which generally holds that income and gain with respect to short sales of publicly
traded stock does not constitute income from debt financed property for purposes of computing
UBTI, Millennium USA will treat its short sales of securities as not involving "acquisition
indebtedness" and therefore not resulting in UBTI.10 To the extent Millennium USA recognizes
income (i.e., dividends and interest) from securities with respect to which there is "acquisition
indebtedness" during a taxable year, the percentage of such income which will be treated as
UBTI generally will be based on the percentage which the "average acquisition indebtedness"
incurred with respect to such securities is of the "average amount of the adjusted basis" of such
securities during the taxable year.
To the extent Millennium USA recognizes gain from securities with respect to which
there is "acquisition indebtedness" at any time during the twelve-month period ending with the
date of their disposition, the percentage of such gain which will be treated as UBTI will be based
on the percentage which the highest amount of such "acquisition indebtedness" is of the "average
amount of the adjusted basis" of such securities during the taxable year. In determining the
unrelated debt-financed income of Millennium USA, an allocable portion of deductions directly

With certain exceptions, tax-exempt organizations which am private foundations arc subject to a 2% federal
excise tax on their "net investment income." The rate of the excise tax for any taxable year may be reduced
to 1% if the private foundation meets certain distribution requirements for the taxable year. A private
foundation will be required to make payments of estimated tax with respect to this excise tax.

constitute UBTI.

connected with Millennium USA's debt-financed property is taken into account. Thus, for
instance, a percentage of losses from debt-financed securities (based on the debt/basis percentage
calculation described above) would offset gains treated as UBTI.
Since the calculation of Millennium USA's "unrelated debt-financed income" is complex
and will depend in large part on the amount of leverage, if any, used by Millennium USA from
time to time," it is impossible to predict what percentage of Millennium USA's income and
gains will be treated as UBTI for a Limited Partner which is an exempt organization. An exempt
organization's share of the income or gains of Millennium USA which is treated as UBTI may
not be offset by losses of the exempt organization either from Millennium USA or otherwise,
unless such losses are treated as attributable to an unrelated trade or business (e.g., losses from
securities for which there is acquisition indebtedness).
To the extent that Millennium USA generates UBTI, the applicable federal tax rate for
such a Limited Partner generally would be either the corporate or trust tax rate depending upon
the nature of the particular exempt organization. An exempt organization may be required to
support, to the satisfaction of the Service, the method used to calculate its UBTI. Millennium
USA will be required to report to a Partner which is an exempt organization information as to the
portion, if any, of its income and gains from Millennium USA for each year which will be
treated as UBTI. The calculation of such amount with respect to transactions entered into by
Millennium USA is highly complex, and there is no assurance that Millennium USA's
calculation of UBTI will be accepted by the Service.
In general, if UBTI is allocated to an exempt organization such as a qualified retirement
plan or a private foundation, the portion of Millennium USA's income and gains which is not
treated as UBTI will continue to be exempt from tax, as will the organization's income and gains
from other investments which are not treated as UBTI. Therefore, the possibility of realizing
UBTI from its investment in Millennium USA generally should not affect the tax-exempt status
of such an exempt organization.'2 In addition, a charitable remainder trust will be subject to a
100% excise tax on any UBTI under Section 664(c) of the Code. A title-holding company will
not be exempt from tax if it has certain types of UBTI. Moreover, the charitable contribution
deduction for a trust under Section 642(c) of the Code may be limited for any year in which the
trust has UBTI. A prospective purchaser should consult its tax advisor with respect to the tax
consequences of receiving UBTI from Millennium USA. (See "ERISA Considerations.")
Certain Issues Pertaining to Specific Exempt Organizations
Private Foundations. Private foundations and their managers are subject to excise taxes if
they invest "any amount in such a manner as to jeopardize the carrying out of any of the
The calculation of a particular exempt organization's UBTI would also be affected if it incurs indebtedness
to finance its investment in Millennium USA. An exempt organization is required to make estimated tax
payments with respect to its UBTI.
I2
Certain exempt organizations which realize UBTI in a taxable year will not constitute -qualified
organizations" for purposes of Section 514(eX9)(B)(vi)(I) of the Code, pursuant to which, in limited
circumstances, income from certain real estate partnerships in which such organizations invest might be
treated as exempt from UBTI. A prospective tax-exempt Limited Partner should consult its tax advisor in
this regard.
MAXWELL I-54

foundation's exempt purposes." This rule requires a foundation manager, in making an
investment, to exercise "ordinary business care and prudence" under the facts and circumstances
prevailing at the time of making the investment, in providing for the short-term and long-term
needs of the foundation to carry out its exempt purposes. The factors which a foundation
manager may take into account in assessing an investment include the expected rate of return
(both income and capital appreciation), the risks of rising and falling price levels, and the need
for diversification within the foundation's portfolio.
In order to avoid the imposition of an excise tax, a private foundation may be required to
distribute on an annual basis its "distributable amount," which includes, among other things, the
private foundation's "minimum investment return," defined as 5% of the excess of the fair
market value of its nonfunctionally related assets (assets not used or held for use in carrying out
the foundation's exempt purposes), over certain indebtedness incurred by the foundation in
connection with such assets. It appears that a foundation's investment in Millennium USA
would most probably be classified as a nonfunctionally related asset. A determination that an
Interest in Millennium USA is a nonfunctionally related asset could conceivably cause cash flow
problems for a prospective Limited Partner which is a private foundation. Such an organization
could be required to make distributions in an amount determined by reference to unrealized
appreciation in the value of its Interest in Millennium USA. Of course, this factor would create
less of a problem to the extent that the value of the investment in Millennium USA is not
significant in relation to the value of other assets held by a foundation.
In some instances, an investment in Millennium USA by a private foundation may be
prohibited by the "excess business holdings" provisions of the Code. For example, if a private
foundation (either directly or together with a "disqualified person") acquires more than 20% of
the capital interest or profits interest of Millennium USA, the private foundation may be
considered to have "excess business holdings." If this occurs, such foundation may be required
to divest itself of its Interest in Millennium USA in order to avoid the imposition of an excise
tax. However, the excise tax will not apply if at least 95% of the gross income from Millennium
USA is "passive" within the applicable provisions of the Code and Regulations. There can be no
assurance that Millennium USA will meet such 95% gross income test.
A substantial percentage of investments of certain "private operating foundations" may
be restricted to assets directly devoted to their tax-exempt purposes. Otherwise, generally, rules
similar to those discussed above govern their operations.
Qualified Retirement Plans. Employee benefit plans subject to the provisions of ERISA,
Individual Retirement Accounts and Keogh Plans should consult their counsel as to the
implications of such an investment under ERISA and the Code. (See "ERISA Considerations.")
Endowment Funds. Investment managers of endowment funds should consider whether
the acquisition of an Interest is legally permissible. This is not a matter of federal law, but is
determined under state statutes. It should be noted, however, that under the Uniform
Management of Institutional Funds Act, which has been adopted, in various forms, by a large
number of states, participation in investment partnerships or similar organizations in which funds
are commingled and investment determinations are made by persons other than the governing
board of the endowment fund is allowed.

Excise Tax on Certain Reportable Transactions. A tax-exempt entity (including a state or
local government or its political subdivision) may be subject to an excise tax equal to the greater
of (i) I00% of the net income or (ii) 75% of the proceeds, attributable to certain "reportable
transactions," including "listed transactions," if any, in which it participates. Under Regulations,
these rules should not apply to a tax-exempt investor's Interest if such investor's tax-exempt
status does not facilitate Millennium USA's participation, if any, in such transactions, unless
otherwise provided in future guidance. Tax-exempt investors should discuss with their own
advisors the applicability of these rules to their investment in Millennium USA. (See "Tax
Shelter Reporting Requirements" below.)
Certain Reporting Obligations
Certain U.S. persons ("potential filers") that own (directly or indirectly) more than 50%
of the capital or profits of Millennium USA may be required to file Form TD F 90-22.1 (an
"FBAR") with respect to Millennium USA's investments in foreign financial accounts. Failure
to file a required FBAR may result in civil and criminal penalties. Potential filers should consult
with their own advisors as to whether they are obligated to file an FBAR with respect to an
investment in Millennium USA.
Tax Shelter Reporting Requirements
The Regulations require Millennium USA to complete and file Form 8886 ("Reportable
Transaction Disclosure Statement") with its tax return for any taxable year in which Millennium
USA participates in a "reportable transaction." Additionally, each Partner treated as
participating in a reportable transaction of Millennium USA is generally required to file Form
8886 with its tax return (or, in certain cases, within 60 clays of the return's due date). If the
Service designates a transaction as a reportable transaction after the filing of a taxpayer's tax
return for the year in which Millennium USA or a Partner participated in the transaction,
Millennium USA and/or such Partner may have to file Form 8886 with respect to that transaction
within 90 days after the Service makes the designation. Millennium USA and any such Partner,
respectively, must also submit a copy of the completed form with the Service's Office of Tax
Shelter Analysis. Millennium USA intends to notify the Partners that it believes (based on
information available to Millennium USA) are required to report a transaction of Millennium
USA, and intends to provide such Limited Partners with any available information needed to
complete and submit Form 8886 with respect to Millennium USA's transactions. In certain
situations, there may also be a requirement that a list be maintained of persons participating in
such reportable transactions, which could be made available to the Service at its request.
A Partner's recognition of a loss upon its disposition of an Interest in Millennium USA
could also constitute a "reportable transaction" for such Partner, requiring such Partner to file
Form 8886.
A significant penalty is imposed on taxpayers who participate in a "reportable
transaction" and fail to make the required disclosure. The maximum penalty is $10,000 for
natural persons and $50,000 for other persons (increased to $100,000 and $200,000, respectively,
if the reportable transaction is a "listed" transaction). Investors should consult with their own
advisors concerning the application of these reporting obligations to their specific situations.

EFTA00236979
State andLocal Taxation
In addition to the federal income tax consequences described above, prospective
purchasers should consider potential state and local tax consequences of an investment in
Millennium USA. State and local laws often differ from federal income tax laws with respect to
the treatment of specific items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit. A Partner's
distributive share of the taxable income or loss of Millennium USA generally will be required to
be included in determining its reportable income for state and local tax purposes in the
jurisdiction in which it is a resident. A partnership in which Millennium USA acquires an
interest may conduct business in a jurisdiction which will subject to tax a Partner's share of the
partnership's income from that business and may cause Partners to file tax returns in those
jurisdictions. Prospective purchasers should consult their tax advisors with respect to the
availability of a credit for such tax in the jurisdiction in which that Partner is a resident.
The tax laws of various states and localities limit or eliminate the deductibility of
itemized deductions for certain taxpayers. As described above, the Master Partnership generally
expects to be in a trade or business within the meaning of the Code. Accordingly, it is not
anticipated that Millennium USA's and the Master Partnership's expenses associated with such
trade or business will be subject to such limitations. However, certain expenses which are not
associated with such trade or business may be limited in their deductibility in one or more states
or localities. Moreover, there can be no assurance that various states and localities will not treat
all of Millennium USA's and the Master Partnership's expenses, including interest expense, as
investment expenses which are subject to such limitations. Prospective investors are urged to
consult their tax advisors with respect to the impact of these provisions on the deductibility of
certain itemized deductions, including interest expense, on their tax liabilities in the jurisdictions
in which they are resident.
One or more states may impose reporting requirements on Millennium USA and/or its
Partners in a manner similar to that described above in "Tax Shelter Reporting Requirements."
Investors should consult with their own advisors as to the applicability of such rules in
jurisdictions which may require or impose a filing requirement.
Millennium USA is not expected to be subject to the New York City unincorporated
business tax, which is not imposed on a partnership which purchases and sells securities for its
"own account." (This exemption may not be applicable to the extent a partnership in which
Millennium USA invests conducts a business in New York City.) By reason of a similar "own
account" exemption, it is also expected that a nonresident individual Partner should not be
subject to New York State personal income tax with respect to his share of income or gain
realized directly by Millennium USA.
Individual Limited Partners who are residents of New York State and New York City
should be aware that the New York State and New York City personal income tax laws limit the
deductibility of itemized deductions and interest expense for individual taxpayers at certain
income levels. As described above, the Master Partnership generally expects to be in a trade or
business within the meaning of the Code. Accordingly, Millennium USA intends to treat its and
Millennium USA's expenses associated with such trade or business as not being subject to the
foregoing limitations on deductibility. However, there can be no assurance that New York State
MAXWELL I-57
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001334
EFTA00236980
and New York City will not treat such expenses as investment expenses which are subject to
such limitations. Further, these limitations may apply to certain expenses of the Master
Partnership and Millennium USA that are not part of the Master Partnership's or Millennium
USA's trade or business. Prospective Limited Partners are urged to consult their own tax
advisors with respect to the impact of these provisions and the federal limitations on the
deductibility of certain itemized deductions and investment expenses on their New York State
and New York City tax liability.
For purposes of the New York State corporate franchise tax and the New York City
general corporation tax, a corporation generally is treated as doing business in New York State
and New York City, respectively, and is subject to such corporate taxes as a result of the
ownership of a partnership interest in a partnership which does business in New York State and
New York City, respectively.13 Each of the New York State and New York City corporate taxes
are imposed, in part, on the corporation's taxable income or capital allocable to the relevant
jurisdiction by application of the appropriate allocation percentages. Moreover, a non-New York
corporation which does business in New York State may be subject to a New York State license
fee. A corporation which is subject to New York State corporate franchise tax solely as a result
of being a limited partner in a New York partnership may, under certain circumstances, elect to
compute its New York State corporate franchise tax by taking into account only its distributive
share of such partnership's income and loss. There is currently no similar provision in effect for
purposes of the New York City general corporation tax.
Regulations under both the New York State corporate franchise tax and the New York
City general corporation tax, however, provide an exception to this general rule in the case of a
"portfolio investment partnership," which is defined, generally, as a partnership which meets the
gross income requirements of Section 851(bX2) of the Code. New York State (but not New
York City) has adopted regulations that also include income and gains from commodity
transactions described in Section 864(b)(2)(BXiii) as qualifying gross income for this purpose.
Millennium USA's qualification as such a portfolio investment partnership must be determined
on an annual basis and, with respect to a taxable year, Millennium USA may not qualify as a
portfolio investment partnership.
New York State imposes a quarterly withholding obligation on certain partnerships with
respect to partners that are individual non-New York residents or corporations (other than "S"
corporations). Accordingly, Millennium USA may be required to withhold on the distributive
shares of New York source partnership income allocable to such partners to the extent such
income is not derived from trading in securities for Millennium USA's own account.
A trust or other unincorporated organization which by reason of its purposes or activities
is exempt from federal income tax is also exempt from New York State and New York City
personal income tax. A nonstock corporation which is exempt from federal income tax is
generally presumed to be exempt from New York State corporate franchise tax and New York
33
New York State (but not New York City) generally exempts from corporate franchise tax a non-New York
corporation which (i) does not actually or constructively own a I% or greater limited partnership interest in
a partnership doing business in New York and (ii) has a tax basis in such limited partnership interest not
greater than SI million.
MAXWELL 1-58
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001335
EFTA00236981
City general corporation tax. New York State imposes a tax with respect to such exempt entities
on UBTI (including unrelated debt-financed income) at a rate which is currently equal to the
New York State corporate franchise tax rate (plus the corporate surtax). There is no New York
City tax on the UBTI of an otherwise exempt entity.
Each prospective Partner should consult its tax advisor with regard to the New York State
and New York City tax consequences of an investment in Millennium USA.
Foreign Taxes
It is possible that certain dividends and interest directly or indirectly received by
Millennium USA from sources within foreign countries will be subject to withholding taxes
imposed by such countries. In addition, Millennium USA or the Master Partnership may also be
subject to capital gains taxes in some of the foreign countries where they purchase and sell
securities. Tax treaties between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate
such taxes. It is impossible to predict in advance the rate of foreign tax Millennium USA will
directly or indirectly pay since the amount of Millennium USA's assets to be invested in various
countries is not known.
The Limited Partners will be informed by Millennium USA as to their proportionate
share of the foreign taxes paid by Millennium USA or the Master Partnership , which they will
be required to include in their income. The Limited Partners generally will be entitled to claim
either a credit (subject, however, to various limitations on foreign tax credits) or, if they itemize
their deductions, a deduction (subject to the limitations generally applicable to deductions) for
their share of such foreign taxes in computing their federal income taxes. A Limited Partner that
is tax-exempt will not ordinarily benefit from such credit or deduction.
As discussed in greater detail below, Millennium Management and its affiliates
operate throughout the world in various jurisdictions, and Millennium Management and
its affiliates generally endeavor to conduct such activities in a manner such that the Master
Partnership (and Millennium USA) are not deemed to have a permanent establishment in
any such jurisdiction. However, it is possible that the Master Partnership (or Millennium
USA) may be deemed to have a permanent establishment in one or more of those
jurisdictions and that Limited Partners may be subject to non-U.S. taxes and filing
obligations in connection therewith.
United Kingdom 'axation
The following is a summary of the expected U.K. taxation treatment of participation in
Millennium USA by Limited Partners who are neither resident nor ordinarily resident in the
U.K., based upon current law and practice (which, in either case, may change). This summary is
of a general nature only, and should not be construed as tax advice to any particular investor.
Prospective Limited Partners should consult their own professional advisors on the taxation
implications of their investment in Millennium USA.
Because Millennium USA and the Master Partnership are limited partnerships, and hence
are not themselves taxable entities for U.K. tax purposes, a Limited Partner who is neither
resident nor ordinarily resident in the U.K. for U.K. tax purposes (a "non-U.K. resident Limited
MAXWELL I-59
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001336
EFTA00236982
Partner") should be liable to U.K. tax on his share of the profits of Millennium USA (other than
potential U.K. withholding taxes on interest and certain other kinds of income of Millennium
USA or the Master Partnership which have a U.K. source) only to the extent that those profits
arise from a trade carried on by Millennium USA or the Master Partnership in the U.K. If
Millennium USA or the Master Partnership is regarded for U.K. taxation purposes as carrying on
activities which constitute a trade carried on by it in the U.K. through a U.K. "permanent
establishment" (in the case of a non-U.K. resident Limited Partner which is a company for U.K.
tax purposes) or through a branch or agency which constitutes an assessable "U.K.
representative" (in the case of a non-U.K. resident Limited Partner which is not a company for
such purposes), the non-U.K. resident Limited Partner will be subject to U.K. tax on his share of
the income and gains of that trade. However, it is intended that the respective affairs of
Millennium USA, the Master Partnership, Millennium Management and MCP UK will be
conducted in such a way that no such U.K. "permanent establishment" or assessable "U.K.
representative" will arise. In particular, it is intended that Millennium USA, the Master
Partnership, Millennium Management and MCP UK will operate in accordance with the
conditions of a particular statutory exemption (the "investment manager exemption") so that, in
the event that any of the activities of the Master Partnership (or Millennium USA) are regarded
as constituting a trade carried on by Millennium USA or the Master Partnership in the U.K.
through the agency of MCP UK, MCP UK will not be a U.K. "permanent establishment" or an
assessable "U.K. representative" of a non-U.K. resident Limited Partner, and hence such a
Limited Partner will not be subject to U.K. tax on his share of the profits and gains of
Millennium USA or the Master Partnership arising through the agency of MCP UK. However, it
cannot be guaranteed that the conditions of the availability of the investment manager exemption
will at all times be satisfied, or that any U.K. based third-party Portfolio Managers who may be
engaged to manage a portion of the Master Partnership's (or Millennium USA's) assets will
comply with the investment manager exemption.
French Taxation
Millennium USA and the Master Partnership have been separately advised as follows with
respect to French taxation.
Millennium USA, or the Master Partnership, may only be subject to French corporate
income tax if it may be deemed to carry on business there within the meaning of Section 209-1 of
the French Tax Code ("Section 209-I") either as a tax resident in France or even while
maintaining its tax residence outside France.
In this respect, whether a foreign entity including a fund is treated as a resident in France
for tax purposes and subject to tax on its worldwide income and gains depends on a "central
management and control" test. It is intended to manage the affairs of Millennium USA and of
the Master Partnership in such a way that neither of these funds is resident in France.
Since it is intended that Millennium USA will primarily invest its capital in the Master
Partnership, it is anticipated that Millennium USA will not be regarded as carrying on business
there within the meaning of Section 209-1. To the extent that Millennium USA acquires assets
that produce income or gains from a French source, withholding tax may be suffered in France,
MAXWELL I-60
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001337
EFTA00236983
depending on the nature of the assets involved and on the location of payment of the income or
gains.
The Master Partnership could be subject to tax on income and gains realised through a
business carried on in France within the meaning of Section 209-I, i.e. through the agency of an
investment manager (MCP UK acting through its branch in France), but only if such investment
manager may be classified as a mere representative of the Master Partnership acting without a
true independent professional capacity.
It is intended that the activities of MCP UK and its French branch will be conducted in
such a way that the Master Partnership cannot be deemed to be carrying on a business in France
through their agency within the meaning of Section 209-I. In particular, it is intended that MCP
UK and its French branch will operate in accordance with a ruling dated 07 September 2006
obtained from the French tax authorities. However, it cannot be guaranteed that the terms of
such ruling will at all times be satisfied or that such ruling will not be modified or withdrawn.
Nevertheless, the Master Partnership may be subject to French withholding taxes if it
acquires assets that produce income or gains from a French source as discussed above.
Luxembourg Taxation
Millennium USA and the Master Partnership have been separately advised as follows with
respect to Luxembourg taxation.
Classification of the Master Partnership and Millennium USA as Foreign Taxpayers. For
Luxembourg tax purposes, entities which do not have their statutory seat nor their central
administration in Luxembourg, are classified as "non-resident corporate taxpayers" and are
subject to tax in Luxembourg limited to income sourced in Luxembourg. Whether Millennium
USA or the Master Partnership (for purposes of this Luxembourg tax disclosure hereinafter
referred to collectively as "Millennium USA") is treated as an entity or as transparent for
Luxembourg tax purposes is dependent on various factors. Below it has been assumed that
Millennium USA is not transparent. In case Millennium USA is treated as transparent, the
taxation principles described below in principle apply separately to each investor in Millennium
USA.
Taxation of Millennium USA. In general, the Luxembourg tax implications for
Millennium USA depend on whether or not it has a permanent establishment in Luxembourg.
Assuming that the activities performed by Millennium USA itself in Luxembourg, if any,
will not amount to the existence of a permanent establishment therein, the items of income
derived by Millennium USA which might suffer Luxembourg taxation are the following:
(i) Dividends and income from profit-sharing bonds paid by a Luxembourg
company: the foreign shareholder of a resident company is subject to a 15 percent
withholding tax on the dividend paid. Such withholding tax might be reduced to
zero or mitigated based on the Luxembourg domestic law and on tax treaties in
force between Luxembourg and the country of residence of Millennium USA.
MAXWELL I-61
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001338
EFTA00236984
(ii) Gains derived from the sale of a substantial participation in a resident company
which is disposed of within 6 months since its acquisition. Such tax might be
reduced to zero based on Tax Treaties in force between Luxembourg and the
country of residence of Millennium USA. Under Luxembourg law, resident
individual shareholders (not being entrepreneurs whose business assets include
the shares) are taxable on the alienation of shares (including by way of
liquidation) in a Luxembourg company in case (1) the alienation takes place
within 6 months after acquisition (speculation gain) and (2) the alienator holds,
either directly or indirectly, a substantial interest in the company. In very broad
terms, a substantial interest exists if a shareholder either alone or together with
certain close relatives has held a shareholding of more than 10% in a Luxembourg
company at any time during the five-year period preceding the alienation. A gain
realised on the alienation of convertible debt is subject to Luxembourg income tax
if the holder has a substantial interest in the debtor.
(iii) Non-resident shareholders (not having a Luxembourg permanent establishment to
which the shares and/or the income/gains from the shares in a Luxembourg
company belong) are, however, only subject to Luxembourg tax in case they hold,
either directly or indirectly, a substantial interest and (1) the alienation (including
liquidation) takes place within 6 months after acquisition (speculation gain) or (2)
in case of an alienation after 6 months or more, they have been a Luxembourg
resident taxpayer for more than 15 years and have become a non-Luxembourg
taxpayer less than 5 years before the alienation takes place. Note however, that
Luxembourg will in general not be entitled to tax this gain under applicable tax
treaties.
(iv) Income derived from the lease of immovable property located in Luxembourg.
(v) Gains derived from the disposal of immovable property located in Luxembourg.
At the same time, the following income is not subject to tax in Luxembourg in the hands
of non-resident taxpayers:
(vi) Liquidation proceeds.
(vii) Interest payments1°.
(viii) Royalties.
If on the contrary Millennium USA has an office or an agent permanent establishment in
Luxembourg, it will be subject to full income and net wealth taxation on all or part of its
Luxembourg source income which is attributable to the permanent establishment, including any
14
Other than withholding tax which may be due based on the Council Directive 2003/48/EC of 3 Junc 2003
on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments as implemented in Luxembourg by the laws
dated 21 June 2005 and several agreements concluded between Luxembourg and certain dependent and
associated territories.
MAXWELL I-62
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001339
EFTA00236985
interest, royalties or dividend income, in accordance with normal rules and at the same rates
applicable to domestic corporations. The current rate of corporate income tax is 28.59%.
Under Luxembourg domestic tax law and under most tax treaties signed by Luxembourg,
a permanent establishment is defined as a fixed place for the conduct of the "business activity" of
a foreign taxpayer, or an agent (excluding agents of independent nature) who habitually exercises
authority to conclude contracts (excluding purchase contracts) in connection with the business of
a foreign party. Provided that Millennium USA does not have a branch or office in Luxembourg,
and the investment manager(s) has/have no branch or office or agent in Luxembourg which
habitually exercises the authority to conclude contracts on behalf of Millennium USA or in the
name of Millennium USA, Millennium USA should not have a permanent establishment in
Luxembourg. Further, the mere investment in financial instruments issued by Luxembourg
companies such as shares, preferred equity certificates ("PECs") or convertible preferred equity
certificates (`CPECs") will not constitute a permanent establishment of Millennium USA in
Luxembourg.
Taxation of Luxembourg companies in the structure. All income of the Luxembourg
companies is in principle included in their worldwide income and taxed at 28.59% (Luxembourg
City). The Luxembourg companies are funded with a combination of debt and equity. Interest
charges on the loans that funded the Luxembourg entities are tax deductible. This has been
confirmed by the Luxembourg tax administration.
Taxation of Luxembourg individual investors. Dividends and liquidation proceeds paid
to and capital gains derived by resident individuals are included in their worldwide income and
taxed according to the ordinary progressive rates (currently ranging from 0% to 38%).
Withholding taxes paid may be creditable against the Investors' income tax liabilities.
Taxation of Luxembourg corporate investors. All income is in principle included in their
worldwide income and taxed at 28.59% (Luxembourg City). Withholding taxes may be
creditable against the investors' income tax liabilities.
Dividends, liquidation proceeds and capital gains derived from a participation in a
Luxembourg company may be tax exempt under the domestic participation exemption regime, if

(i) the subsidiary is (a) an entity which is covered by article 2 of the modified EC
Parent-Subsidiary Directive, or (b) a capital company that is subject in its country
of residence to an income tax which is comparable to the Luxembourg corporate

months (or must commit itself to continue to hold for an uninterrupted period of at
least 12 months) a direct participation of 10% or more of the nominal paid up

dividend income) or EUR 6,000,000 (for capital gains income).

Hong Kong Tax Disclosure
Millennium USA and the Master Partnership have been separately advised as follows with
respect to Hong Kong taxation.
Taxation of the Master Partnership. Millennium Management intends to manage the
affairs of the Master Partnership in such a way that it is not carrying on a trade or business in
Hong Kong for Hong Kong profits tax purposes. In these circumstances, the Master Partnership
will not be subject to Hong Kong profits tax on its profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong
(i.e. Hong Kong sourced profits) provided, that it is not treated as carrying on a trade or business
in Hong Kong itself or through an agent in Hong Kong.
Since it is intended that Millennium USA will invest its assets in the Master Partnership,
Millennium Management does not believe that Millennium USA will, in the normal course of its
activities, be carrying on a trade or business in Hong Kong for Hong Kong profits tax purposes.
The Master Partnership, however, may be regarded for Hong Kong profits tax purposes
as carrying on a trade or business in Hong Kong through the agency of Portfolio Managers,
including Investment Management Entities (such as MCM HK), based in Hong Kong.
Accordingly, Millennium Management intends to organize the affairs of the Master Partnership
in such a way that any Hong Kong sourced profits of the Master Partnership will qualify for
exemption from Hong Kong profits tax under the Revenue (Profits Tax Exemption for Offshore
Funds) Ordinance 2006 of Hong Kong (the "Exemption Ordinance"). The exemption will apply
if the Master Partnership (i) is not a Hong Kong resident (i.e. its central management and control
is outside Hong Kong); (ii) carries out "specified transactions" through or arranged by "specified
persons" (i.e. mainly including persons holding types 1 or 9 licenses under the Securities and
Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of Hong Kong) such as MCM HK); and (iii) apart from those
specified transactions and transactions incidental to them (as discussed below), does not carry on
any other trade or business in Hong Kong. "Specified transactions" includes transactions in
securities (apart from securities issued by "private companies" as defined in section 29 of the
Companies Ordinance in Hong Kong), transactions in future contracts, transactions in foreign
exchange contracts, transactions consisting of the making of a deposit other than by way of
money-lending business, transactions in foreign currency and transactions in exchange-traded
commodities. Furthermore other income from transactions carried out in Hong Kong by the
Master Partnership which are "incidental" to the carrying out of the "specified transactions" will
also be exempt from Hong Kong profits tax provided such income does not exceed 5% of the
respective trading receipts of the Master Partnership from the exempt and incidental transactions
in Hong Kong. It cannot, however, be guaranteed that the conditions of this exemption will at all
times be met.
Taxation of Millennium USA. Hong Kong does not impose any withholding tax on
interest and dividend income received by Millennium USA which has a Hong Kong source.
Millennium USA should not be regarded as carrying on a trade or business in Hong Kong solely
by investing substantially all of its assets in the Master Partnership.
To the extent that Millennium USA acquires assets other than by way of investing
through the Master Partnership and the activity (together with any other activity) is regarded for
-MAXWELL 1-64
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001341
EFTA00236987
Hong Kong profits tax purposes as constituting a trade or business carried on by Millennium
USA in Hong Kong, Millennium USA will be subject to Hong Kong profits tax in respect of its
Hong Kong sourced profits if the profits tax exemption under the Exemption Ordinance does not
apply. Millennium USA will need to satisfy conditions (i) to (iii) above in order for the
exemption to apply. Nevertheless, it is intended that the respective affairs of Millennium USA
and the Master Partnership will be conducted in such a way that the Hong Kong sourced profits
of Millennium USA will qualify for profits tax exemption. However, it cannot be guaranteed
that the conditions of this exemption will at all times be met.
Where the Master Partnership is exempt from profits tax under the Exemption Ordinance,
a Hong Kong resident investor who alone or with his associates (as defined in the Inland
Revenue Ordinance (Cap. 112 of Hong Kong)) (i) is entitled to not less than 30% of the profits
of the Master Partnership or (ii) is regarded as "associated" with the Master Partnership, will be
assessed to Hong Kong profits tax on a deemed basis based on his share of the exempted profits
of the Master Partnership.
On the basis that the register of limited partners of Millennium USA will be maintained
outside Hong Kong, no Hong Kong stamp duty will be payable in respect of transactions in the
Offered Interests.
This Hong Kong tax disclosure is general in nature and does not purport to cover all
Hong Kong tax consequences of investing in Millennium USA. Prospective investors must
consult their own tax advisors regarding the Hong Kong tax consequences of an investment in
Millennium USA and the extent to which their income from Millennium USA would, if at all, be
subject to Hong Kong tax.
Japanese Tax Disclosure
Millennium USA and the Master Partnership have been separately advised as follows with
respect to Japanese taxation.
Millennium USA and the Master Partnership have been separately advised as follows
with respect to Japanese taxation on Millennium USA's allocable share of the income, gain and
loss from the activities and assets of the Master Partnership:
Taxation of Millennium USA and the Master Partnership. Millennium USA is a
Delaware limited partnership and the Master Partnership is a Cayman limited partnership.
Foreign (non-Japanese) entities are generally classified for Japanese tax purposes as either a
separate legal person (houjin) or a transparent (pass-through) entity, by reference to the Japanese
entity, as defined under Japan's Company Law, Civil Code or Trust Law, which they most
closely resemble. As there is no specific, written Japanese tax authority regarding how a foreign
limited partnership should be characterized, entity classification is a facts and circumstances
determination made on a case by case basis, by reference to the characteristics of the foreign
entity.
On the assumption that Millennium USA and the Master Partnership are treated as tax
transparent entities, Millennium USA and the Master Partnership are not themselves be subject
to Japanese taxation, but rather each partner of Millennium USA or the Master Partnership is
MAXWELL I-65
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001342
EFTA00236988
generally treated as the relevant taxpayer with respect to its allocable share of the income, gain
and loss from the activities and assets of Millennium USA or the Master Partnership,
respectively; provided that, the partner is itself not a tax transparent entity. If the partner itself is
a tax transparent entity, then each of its partners or members are generally treated as the relevant
taxpayers with respect to their allocable share of such income, gain and loss as provided in the
preceding sentence.
Taxation of the Non-Japanese Limited Partners of Millennium USA. The Japanese tax
implications to a Limited Partner of Millennium USA which is a non-Japanese resident
individual or a foreign (non-Japanese) corporation ("Non-Japanese Partner") with respect to
dividend, interest, and capital gain income of the Master Partnership, depend on whether or not
either Millennium USA or the Limited Partner has or is deemed to have a permanent
establishment in Japan (as defined below).
On the assumption that neither Millennium USA nor the Limited Partner is treated as
having a permanent establishment in Japan, then the Limited Partner is generally subject to
Japanese tax only with respect to its allocable share of the income, gain and loss from the
activities and assets of the Master Partnership as described below:
(i) Dividends Received on Japanese Company Stock. Dividends paid by a Japanese
publicly listed company to the Master Partnership that are allocable to a Non-
Japanese Partner, are subject to withholding tax at a rate of 7% (15%, from
January 1, 2012). Dividends paid by a non-publicly listed company are subject to
withholding tax at a rate of 20%.
However, such withholding rate may be reduced under an applicable tax treaty
concluded by the Limited Partner's jurisdiction of residence and Japan, subject to
certain requirements and conditions. In addition, Japanese tax law may require
that a tax treaty application form be filed to claim such treaty benefits.
(ii) Interest. Generally, interest paid to the Master Partnership on bonds issued by
Japanese national or local governments, Japanese corporations, or a foreign
corporation with respect to bond proceeds attributable to a business conducted in
Japan, is subject to withholding tax at a rate of 15%. However, interest paid in
respect of a loan made to a person conducting a business in Japan (including a
Japanese resident individual, Japanese corporation or the Japan branch of a
foreign corporation) is subject to withholding tax at a rate of 20%.
An exemption from Japanese withholding tax applies to certain interest on
Japanese national and local government debt and, with respect to bonds issued by
Japanese corporations, certain interest accruing from June I, 2010 on bonds
issued prior to April I, 2013, either of which interest is paid to certain foreign
(non-Japanese) persons. However, the exemption generally applies only to
foreign bondholders which are individuals, corporations, or certain investment
trusts (gaikoku toushi shituaku). Assuming the Master Partnership is treated as a
tax transparent entity, it is unclear whether the exemption would apply to interest
paid by Japanese Issuers to the Master Partnership.
MAXWELL I-66
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001343
EFTA00236989
In addition, any applicable withholding tax may be reduced under an applicable
tax treaty concluded by the Limited Partner's jurisdiction of residence and Japan,
subject to certain requirements and conditions. In addition, Japanese tax law may
require that a tax treaty application form be filed to claim such treaty benefits.
(iii) Capital Gains on Disposition of Japanese Company Stock or Debt of a Japanese
Issuer. A Non-Japanese Partner is generally exempt from Japanese tax on its
allocable share of capital gains relating to the Master Partnership's disposition of
shares in a Japanese company, or bonds issued by or loans to Japanese issuer
(including the Japanese national or local government, Japanese resident individual
or corporation, or Japan branch of a foreign corporation), except in the following
circumstances:
a. The Non-Japanese Partner (and persons treated as specially related to the
Non-Japanese Partner): (a) held at least 25% of the outstanding shares of
the Japanese company whose shares are disposed of at any time during the
tax year of the disposition or the prior two tax years; and (b) disposed of
5% or more of the outstanding shares of such company in such tax year.
In determining whether either the 25% ownership or 5% disposition of
outstanding shares threshold is met, all shares held by Millennium USA or
the Master Partnership are generally attributed to the Non-Japanese
Partner ("Partnership Attribution Rule"). However, the Partnership
Attribution Rule does not generally apply if, in the case of a foreign (non-
Japanese resident) partner in a foreign partnership, the foreign partnership
agreement is "similar" to a Japanese investment business limited
partnership (toushi jigyou yugen sekinin kumiai, or "Investment LPS"),
and the following requirements are satisfied:
i. the foreign partner meets the requirements for the permanent
establishment exemption described below and, during the period
beginning two tax years prior to the tax year in which the sale of
shares occurs and ending with the tax year in which the sale
occurs, the partner did not own 25% or more of the Japanese
company shares sold; or
ii. the foreign partner does not have a permanent establishment in
Japan and, during the period beginning two tax years prior to the
tax year in which the sale of shares occurs and ending with the tax
year in which the sale occurs, the partner was a limited partner in
the partnership; did not own 25% or more of the Japanese
company shares sold; and was not involved in the management or
operation of the partnership.
This exception from the Partnership Attribution Rule is not
applicable with respect to the sale of shares acquired within one
year of the disposition, or to shares of a "distressed financial
-MAXWELL I-67
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001344
EFTA00236990
institution" (Tokubetsu Kiki Kanri anko or a "special crisis
management bank");
b. With respect to shares of a Japanese real estate holding company (that is, a
company 50% or more of the asset of which consist of real estate assets
located in Japan), the Non-Japanese Partner (and persons treated as
specially related to the Non-Japanese Partner) owned, on the day
immediately preceding the start of the business year when the sale is
made, more than 5% of the company's shares (or, if the company is not
publicly listed, more than 2% of the shares); or
c. The Master Partnership engages in improper market manipulation.
Notwithstanding any Japanese tax imposed in the case of (a) through (c) above, a Non-
Japanese Partner may be exempt from such Japanese tax under an applicable tax treaty
concluded by the partner's jurisdiction of residence and Japan, subject to certain
requirements and conditions. In addition, Japanese tax law may require that a tax treaty
application form be filed to claim such treaty benefits.
Japanese Permanent Establishment. Under Japanese domestic tax law, in the case of
investment activity, a permanent establishment is generally defined as a fixed place for the
conduct of the "business activity" (jigyo) in Japan of a foreign person. Moreover, even if such
foreign person does not itself conduct any business activity in Japan which constitutes a
permanent establishment, such person may nevertheless be deemed to have a permanent
establishment in Japan if another (an agent) habitually exercises the authority to conclude
contracts (excluding purchase contracts) in connection with the business of such foreign person
in Japan ("agent permanent establishment"). Nevertheless, an agent which conducts the business
activities of such foreign person independently of the foreign person and in the ordinary course
of the agent's business ("independent agent") is not deemed to constitute an agent permanent
establishment of the foreign person. An agent is an independent agent, if and only if it is legally
and economically independent of its principal, and acts in the ordinary course of its business
when acting on behalf of its principal.
In the context of investment fund management, on June 27, 2008, the Japanese Financial
Services Agency ("FSA") released two documents, "Reference Cases" and "Q&A," which
clarify the criteria under which a domestic investment manager in Japan conducting certain
investment activities under a discretionary agreement with an offshore fund is treated as an
"independent agent." The FSA documents note that the requirements of the "independent agent"
provisions of Japan's domestic law (legal independence, economic independence, and acting for
the offshore fund in the ordinary course of business the agent's business) are basically consistent
with the OECD Model Convention. The FSA documents also identify the conditions that the
domestic investment manager must meet to qualify for independent agent status. Generally,
there conditions require that the domestic investment manager: (1) does not base his decisions
on instructions from managers of the offshore fund; (2) does not share a significant number of
officers/employees with the offshore fund; (3) receives a "commensurable remuneration"; and
(4) does not deal exclusively with the offshore fund, and has capacity to diversify its business or
acquire other clients.

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001345
EFTA00236991
Millennium Capital Management (Asia) Limited, Tokyo branch, a subsidiary of an
affiliate of Millennium Management, is licensed under the Japanese Financial Instruments and
Exchange Law, exercises the authority to conclude contracts as a discretionary investment
manager in respect to certain subsidiaries of the Master Partnership.
Provided that Millennium USA and the Master Partnership do not have a branch or office
in Japan; and Millennium USA, the Master Partnership, and their respective Investment Manager
and affiliates thereof have no branch, office, or agent in Japan which habitually exercises the
authority to conclude contracts on behalf of Millennium USA or the Master Partnership or in the
name thereof, or do not act on behalf of Millennium USA or the Master Partnership other than in
the capacity of an independent agent (i.e., Millennium USA, the Master Partnership, and their
respective Investment Manager and affiliates thereof, including Millennium Capital Management
(Asia) Limited, do not conduct such activities in Japan except in the capacity of an independent
agent), Millennium USA and the Master Partnership should not have a permanent establishment
in Japan. A foreign (non-Japanese resident) partner of a partnership which is deemed to have a
permanent establishment in Japan is itself deemed to have a permanent establishment in Japan.
Thus, if Millennium USA or the Master Partnership is deemed to have a permanent
establishment in Japan, then a Non-Japanese Partner will generally be deemed to also have a
permanent establishment in Japan. However, a foreign (non-Japanese resident) partner is not
generally deemed to have a permanent establishment in Japan (the "permanent establishment
exemption") with respect to the activities of a foreign partnership, if the foreign partnership is
based on a foreign partnership agreement which is "similar" to a Japanese investment business
limited partnership (iambi jigyou yugen sekinin kumiai, or "Investment LPS"), and:
(i) the foreign partner is a limited partner of the partnership;
(ii) the foreign partner is not involved in the management or operation of the
partnership;
(iii) the foreign partner has owned an interest of less than 25% in the assets of the
partnership;
(iv) the foreign partner does not have a "specified relationship" with any general
partner of the partnership; and
(v) the foreign partner does not otherwise already have an existing permanent
establishment in Japan.
Where Millennium USA or the Master Partnership has a permanent establishment in
Japan, there is a risk that Limited Partners in Millennium USA are deemed to have a permanent
establishment in Japan and in such case, are subject to Japanese income or corporation tax on all
or part of their Japanese source net income, including any interest, dividend or capital gain
income, in accordance with the normal rules at the same rates applicable to Japanese taxpayers.
Generally, the rate of tax will depend upon the type and status of the Limited Partner. For a
Non-Japanese Partner, the maximum (combined national and local) effective rate of taxation is
approximately 50% in the case of a nonresident individual and 42% in the case of a foreign
corporation.
-MAXWELL I-69
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001346
EFTA00236992
In addition, distributions (or deemed distributions) to foreign (non-Japanese) partners are
generally subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 20%, which is paid by the partnership with a
permanent establishment in Japan on behalf of its partners. Any withholding tax paid may be
credited against a partner's Japanese income tax liabilities.
Taxation of Japanese Limited Partners of Millennium USA. Millennium USA does not
generally accept investments by non-U.S. persons. However, if such an investment was made,
assuming that Millennium USA and the Master Partnership are treated as tax transparent entities,
Japanese resident individuals and corporations which invest in Millennium USA ("Japanese
Investors") are deemed to have directly earned their allocable share of income, gain and loss
from the activities and assets of the Master Partnership and thus, may be subject to Japanese tax
on such allocable share of income, gain and loss at the tax rate based on the Japanese tax law as
applicable to each such Japanese Investor. Thus, a Japanese Investor which is subject to
Japanese tax on its allocable share of such income, gain and loss may generally claim a tax credit
for any withholding or other net income tax (whether Japanese or non-Japanese) paid on their
behalf with respect to such income, gain and loss (subject to applicable foreign tax credit
limitations).
Singapore Tax Disclosure
Millennium USA and the Master Partnership have been separately advised as follows with
respect to Singapore taxation.
The discussion is a general summary of certain tax consequences in Singapore. The
summary is based on the existing provisions of the relevant tax laws and regulations thereunder
(including the relevant circulars and practice notes), and practices in effect as of the date hereof,
all of which are subject to change and differing interpretations, either on a prospective or
retrospective basis. The summary is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all the tax
consequences relating to the structure. Prospective investors should consult their own tax
advisors concerning the tax consequences of their particular situations, including the tax
consequences arising under the laws of any other tax jurisdiction, which may be applicable to
their particular situations.
Income Tax. Singapore income tax is imposed on income accruing in or derived from
Singapore and on foreign-sourced income received or deemed to have been received in
Singapore, subject to certain exceptions.
Gains on Disposal of Investments. Singapore does not impose tax on capital gains.
However, gains from the disposal of investments may be construed to be of an income nature
and subject to Singapore income tax. Generally, gains on disposal of investments are considered
income in nature if they arise from or are otherwise connected with the activities of a trade or
business carried on in Singapore.
MCM Singapore assists the Master Partnership with the management of its assets by
managing capital held by it directly or indirectly through various special purpose vehicles (the
"Trading Subsidiaries", each a "Trading Subsidiary"). Each Trading Subsidiary is currently
wholly owned directly or indirectly by the Master Partnership.
MAXWELL I-70
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001347
EFTA00236993
If the investment and divestment of a portion of assets of a Trading Subsidiary or the
Master Partnership is managed by MCM Singapore, such Trading Subsidiary or the Master
Partnership, as the case may be, could be construed to be carrying on activities of a trade or
business in Singapore. Accordingly, the income derived by the Trading Subsidiary or Master
Partnership may be considered income accruing in or derived from Singapore and subject to
Singapore income tax, unless such income is specifically exempted from tax under:
(i) Section 13CA of the Income Tax Act (ITA) and the Income Tax (Exemption of
Income of Non-Residents Arising from Fund Managed by Fund Manager in
Singapore) Regulations 2010 (the "S13CA Regulations") (collectively known as
the "Section 13CA Tax Exemption Scheme"). This is applicable where the entity
whose funds are managed by MCM Singapore is not tax resident in Singapore;
(ii) Section I3R of the ITA and the Income Tax (Exemption of Income of Approved
Companies Arising from Funds Managed by Fund Manager in Singapore)
Regulations 2010 (the "Section 13R Regulations") (collectively known as the
"Section 13R Tax Exemption Scheme"). This is applicable where the Trading
Subsidiary is incorporated and tax resident in Singapore.
Section 13CA Tax Exemption Scheme. Under the Section 13CA Tax Exemption
Scheme, "specified income"" derived by a "prescribed person" from funds managed in
Singapore by a "fund manager"16 in respect of "designated investments"" is exempt from
Singapore income tax.

he may appoint.
Approval may be given (upon application) subject to the following conditions being met:
(i) at all times, the approved company has less than 100% of the value of its

tax rate. The corporate tax rate as of the date of the Memorandum is 17%. Non-Qualifying
Relevant Owners are obliged to declare and pay the penalty in their respective income tax returns
for the relevant year of assessment.
The Non-Qualifying Relevant Owner status will be determined on the last day of the
prescribed person's or the approved company's (as the case may be) financial year.
Reporting Obligations. To enable investors to determine their investment stakes in the
prescribed person or the approved company (as the case may be) in respect of any financial year,
the fund manager is required to issue an annual statement to each investor, showing:
(i) the gains or profit as reflected in the audited accounts of the prescribed person or
the approved company (as the case may be) as at the Relevant Day per the audited
financial statement;
(ii) the total value of issued securities of the prescribed person or the approved
company (as the case may be) as at the Relevant Day;
(iii) the total value of issued securities of the prescribed person or the approved
company (as the case may be) held by the investor concerned as at the Relevant
Day; and
(v) whether the prescribed person or the approved company (as the case may be) has
less than 10 investors as at the Relevant Day.
MCM Singapore is required to submit a declaration to the CIT within one month after the
date of issue of audited accounts of the prescribed person or the approved company (as the case
may be) relating to any financial year in which the Relevant Day falls if there are Non-
Qualifying Relevant Owners (as determined on the Relevant Day), and furnish the CIT with the
details of such Non-Qualifying Relevant Owners.
In this regard, Limited Partners should note that they are each responsible for ascertaining
whether they (or their direct / indirect investors) are Non-Qualifying Relevant Owners and for
the computation of the aggregate of the interests held by them and their associates in each
prescribed person or approved company (as the case may be). Limited Partners may be required
by the Investment Manager and/or MCM Singapore to disclose such status and computation to
the Investment Manager and MCM Singapore from time to time.
The taxation of distributions by Millennium USA and gains on redemption or disposal of
Interests by the Limited Partners will depend on the particular situation of the Limited Partners.
This is notwithstanding that the Limited Partner or their direct /indirect investors may have paid
a penalty to the CIT.

Tax transparent treatment of partnerships. For Singapore tax purposes, partnerships are
considered transparent entities. Accordingly, where the fund in question is a limited partnership
(as in the case of the Master Partnership), the prescribed person test would be applied at the level
of the partners (i.e. in this case, Millennium USA and the other partners in the Master
Partnership). Since Millennium USA is itself a limited partnership, the prescribed person test
will have to be applied another level up (i.e. at the level of the partners in Millennium USA and
so on and so forth). The Qualifying Relevant Owner test will also accordingly be applied at a
level up.

ADVISOR.
THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY OF CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE EMPLOYEE
RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED ("ERISA") IS BASED
UPON ERISA, JUDICIAL DECISIONS, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR REGULATIONS AND
RULINGS IN EXISTENCE ON THE DATE HEREOF. THIS SUMMARY IS GENERAL IN
NATURE AND DOES NOT ADDRESS EVERY ERISA ISSUE THAT MAY BE
APPLICABLE TO MILLENNIUM USA, THE MASTER PARTNERSHIP OR A
PARTICULAR INVESTOR. ACCORDINGLY, EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR
SHOULD CONSULT WITH ITS OWN COUNSEL IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE
ERISA ISSUES AFFECTING MILLENNIUM USA, THE MASTER PARTNERSHIP AND
THE INVESTOR.
General
Persons who are fiduciaries with respect to a U.S. employee benefit plan or trust within the
meaning of and subject to the provisions of ERISA (an "ERISA Plan"), an individual retirement
account or a Keogh plan subject solely to the provisions of the Codes (an "Individual Retirement
Account") should consider, among other things, the matters described below before determining
whether to invest in Millennium USA (and thus the Master Partnership).
ERISA imposes certain general and specific responsibilities on persons who are fiduciaries
with respect to an ERISA Plan, including prudence, diversification, avoidance of prohibited
23
References hereinafter made to ERISA include parallel references to the Code.
ll -MAXWELL I-76
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001353
EFTA00236999
transactions and compliance with other standards. In determining whether a particular investment
is appropriate for an ERISA Plan, U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL") regulations provide that a
fiduciary of an ERISA Plan must give appropriate consideration to, among other things, the role
that the investment plays in the ERISA Plan's portfolio, taking into consideration whether the
investment is designed reasonably to further the ERISA Plan's purposes, the risk and return factors
of the potential investment, including the fact that the returns may be subject to federal tax as
unrelated business taxable income, the portfolio's composition with regard to diversification, the
liquidity and current return of the total portfolio relative to the anticipated cash flow needs of the
ERISA Plan, the projected return of the total portfolio relative to the ERISA Plan's funding
objectives, and the limitation on the rights of Limited Partners to redeem all or any part of their
Offered Interests or to transfer their Offered Interests. Before investing the assets of an ERISA
Plan in Millennium USA (and thus the Master Partnership), a fiduciary should determine whether
such an investment is consistent with its fiduciary responsibilities and the foregoing regulations.
For example, a fiduciary should consider whether an investment in Millennium USA (and thus the
Master Partnership) may be too illiquid or too speculative for a particular ERISA Plan and whether
the assets of the ERISA Plan would be sufficiently diversified. If a fiduciary with respect to any
such ERISA Plan breaches its responsibilities with regard to selecting an investment or an
investment course of action for such ERISA Plan, the fiduciary may be held personally liable for
losses incurred by the ERISA Plan as a result of such breach.
Plan Assets Defined
ERISA and applicable DOL regulations describe when the underlying assets of an entity
in which benefit plan investors ("Benefit Plan Investors") invest are treated as "plan assets" for
purposes of ERISA. Under ERISA, the term Benefit Plan Investors is defined to include an
"employee benefit plan" that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, a "plan" that is
subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, and entities the
assets of which are treated as "plan assets" by reason of investment therein by Benefit Plan
Investors.
Under ERISA, as a general rule, when an ERISA Plan invests assets in another entity, the
ERISA Plan's assets include its investment, but do not, solely by reason of such investment,
include any of the underlying assets of the entity. However, when an ERISA Plan acquires an
"equity interest" in an entity that is neither: (a) a "publicly offered security;" nor (b) a security
issued by an investment fund registered under the Company Act, then the ERISA Plan's assets
include both the equity interest and an undivided interest in each of the underlying assets of the
entity, unless it is established that: (i) the entity is an "operating company;" or (ii) the equity
participation in the entity by Benefit Plan Investors is limited.
Under ERISA, the assets of an entity will not be treated as "plan assets" if Benefit Plan
Investors hold less than 25% (or such higher percentage as may be specified in regulations
promulgated by the DOL) of the value of each class of equity interests in the entity. Equity
interests held by a person with discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets of the
entity and equity interests held by a person who provides investment advice for a fee (direct or
indirect) with respect to such assets or any affiliate of any such person (other than a Benefit Plan
Investor) are not considered for purposes of determining whether the assets of an entity will be
treated as "plan assets" for purposes of ERISA. The Benefit Plan Investor percentage of
MAXWELL I-77
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001354
EFTA00237000
ownership test applies at the time of an acquisition by any person of the equity interests. In
addition, an advisory opinion of the DOL takes the position that a redemption of an equity
interest by an investor constitutes the acquisition of an equity interest by the remaining investors
(through an increase in their percentage ownership of the remaining equity interests), thus
triggering an application of the Benefit Plan Investor percentage of ownership test at the time of
the redemption.
Limitation on Investments by Benefit Plan Investors
It is the current intent of Millennium Management to monitor the investments in
Millennium USA and the Master Partnership to ensure that the aggregate investment by Benefit
Plan Investors does not equal or exceed 25% of the value of each of (x) any class of the Offered
Interests in Millennium USA and (y) any class of the shares in the Master Partnership (or such
higher percentage as may be specified in regulations promulgated by the DOL) so that assets of
neither Millennium USA nor the Master Partnership will be treated as "plan assets" under
ERISA. Interests held by Millennium Management and its affiliates are not considered for
purposes of determining whether the assets of Millennium USA will be treated as "plan assets"
for the purpose of ERISA. If the assets of Millennium USA were treated as "plan assets" of a
Benefit Plan Investor, Millennium Management would be a "fiduciary" (as defined in ERISA
and the Code) with respect to each such Benefit Plan Investor, and would be subject to the
obligations and liabilities imposed on fiduciaries by ERISA. Similarly, if the assets of the
Master Partnership were treated as "plan assets" of a Benefit Plan Investor, the Millennium
Management would be a "fiduciary" (as defined in ERISA and the Code) with respect to each
such Benefit Plan Investor, and would be subject to the obligations and liabilities imposed on
fiduciaries by ERISA. In such circumstances, Millennium USA (and/or the Master Partnership,
as appropriate) would be subject to various other requirements of ERISA and the Code. In
particular, Millennium USA (and/or the Master Partnership, as appropriate) would be subject to
rules restricting transactions with "parties in interest" and prohibiting transactions involving
conflicts of interest on the part of fiduciaries which might result in a violation of ERISA and the
Code unless Millennium USA (and/or the Master Partnership, as appropriate) obtained
appropriate exemptions from the DOL allowing Millennium USA (and/or the Master
Partnership, as appropriate) to conduct its operations as described herein. Millennium
Management reserves the right to require the withdrawal of any Limited Partner, including,
without limitation, to ensure compliance with the percentage limitation on investment in
Millennium USA by Benefit Plan Investors as set forth above and similar rules apply to the
Master Partnership. Millennium Management reserves the right, however, to waive the
percentage limitation on investment in Millennium USA by Benefit Plan Investors and thereafter
to comply with ERISA.
Representations by Plans
An ERISA Plan proposing to invest in Millennium USA (and thus the Master Partnership)
will be required to represent that it is, and any fiduciaries responsible for the ERISA Plan's
investments are, aware of and understand Millennium USA's and the Master Partnership's
investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest plan assets in
Millennium USA (and thus the Master Partnership) was made with appropriate consideration of
MAXWELL I-78
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001355
EFTA00237001
relevant investment factors with regard to the ERISA Plan and is consistent with the duties and
responsibilities imposed upon fiduciaries with regard to their investment decisions under ERISA.
WHETHER OR NOT THE ASSETS OF MILLENNIUM USA OR THE MASTER
PARTNERSHIP ARE TREATED AS "PLAN ASSETS" UNDER ERISA, AN INVESTMENT
IN MILLENNIUM USA (AND THUS THE MASTER PARTNERSHIP) BY AN ERISA PLAN
IS SUBJECT TO ERISA. ACCORDINGLY, FIDUCIARIES OF ERISA PLANS SHOULD
CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN COUNSEL AS TO THE CONSEQUENCES UNDER ERISA
OF AN INVESTMENT IN MILLENNIUM USA (AND THUS THE MASTER
PARTNERSHIP).
ERISA Plans and Individual Retirement Accounts Having Prior Relationships with
Millennium Management or its Affiliates
Certain prospective ERISA Plan and Individual Retirement Account investors may
currently maintain relationships with Millennium Management or other entities that are affiliated
with Millennium Management. Each of such entities may be deemed to be a party in interest to
and/or a fiduciary of any ERISA Plan or Individual Retirement Account to which any of
Millennium Management or its affiliates provides investment management, investment advisory or
other services. ERISA prohibits ERISA Plan assets to be used for the benefit of a party in interest
and also prohibits an ERISA Plan fiduciary from using its position to cause the ERISA Plan to
make an investment from which it or certain third parties in which such fiduciary has an interest
would receive a fee or other consideration. Similar provisions are imposed by the Code with
respect to Individual Retirement Accounts. ERISA Plan and Individual Retirement Account
investors should consult with counsel to determine if participation in Millennium USA is a
transaction that is prohibited by ERISA or the Code.
The provisions of ERISA are subject to extensive and continuing administrative and
judicial interpretation and review. The discussion of ERISA contained herein is, of necessity,
general and may be affected by future publication of regulations and rulings. Potential investors
should consult with their legal advisors regarding the consequences under ERISA of the
acquisition and ownership of Offered Interests.
Millennium USA's Fiscal Year
The fiscal year-end of Millennium USA is December 31.
Millennium USA's Legal Counsel
Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP ("SRZ") has been engaged by Millennium Management to
represent it in connection with the organization of Millennium USA and this offering of Offered
Interests in Millennium USA. No separate counsel has been engaged to independently represent
the Limited Partners in connection with these matters.
Other counsel may also be retained where Millennium Management on its own behalf, or
on behalf of Millennium USA, determines that to be appropriate.
MAXWELL I-79

In advising Millennium USA and Millennium Management with respect to the
preparation of this Confidential Memorandum, SRZ has relied upon information that has been
furnished to it by Millennium USA, Millennium Management and their affiliates, and has not
independently investigated or verified the accuracy or completeness of the information set forth
herein. In addition, SRZ does not monitor the compliance of Millennium USA or Millennium
Management with the investment guidelines set forth in this Confidential Memorandum,
Millennium USA's terms or applicable law.
There may be situations in which there is a "conflict" between the interests of
Millennium Management and those of Millennium USA. In these situations, Millennium
Management and Millennium USA will determine the appropriate resolution thereof, and may
seek advice from SRZ in connection with such determinations. Millennium Management and
Millennium USA have consented to SRZ's concurrent representation of such parties in such
circumstances.

Interests of each class of Millennium USA participate equally in the profits and losses of
Millennium USA, except that (i) Interests that are offered and sold solely to persons who are
restricted from participating in new issues will not directly or indirectly participate in the gains
and losses from new issues and activities that Millennium Management determines are related

certain other classes of Interests issued prior to January 1, 2004.
The outstanding Class C and Class D interests of Millennium USA have quarterly

-MAXWELL 1-82
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001359

of those four classes and the corresponding shares of Millennium International, as of that
quarterly withdrawal date. This contractual limit on withdrawals does not take into account any

The outstanding Class W and Class X interests of Millennium USA have quarterly
withdrawal rights and are subject to a contractual limit on withdrawals that limits withdrawal of

contractual limit on withdrawals does not take into account any other classes of Interests of
Millennium USA, any other classes of shares of Millennium International, or any interests in
Millennium Global Estate. Unlike the contractual limit on withdrawals applied to Class C, Class
D, Class 0, Class P, Class S, Class T, Class W, Class X, Class 00 and Class PP interests, the
contractual limit on withdrawals applied to Class CC and Class DD interests allocates aggregate
withdrawal requests in excess of the applicable threshold among requesting investors in Class
CC and Class DD interests in proportion to the relative size of the investor (rather than the
relative size of the withdrawal request).
The outstanding Class 00 and Class PP interests of Millennium International have
quarterly withdrawal rights and are subject to a contractual limit on withdrawals that limits
withdrawals of those classes (and the corresponding classes of shares in Millennium
International) to the greater of (x) US$150 million or (y) 17.5% of the aggregate net asset value
of those two classes and the corresponding shares of Millennium International, as of that
quarterly withdrawal date. This contractual limit on withdrawals does not take into account any
other classes of Interests of Millennium USA, any other classes of shares of Millennium
International, or any interests in Millennium Global Estate.
Treatment of Millennium USA's Exposure to Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and its
Affiliates
In 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and several of its affiliated entities (collectively,
"Lehman") filed for bankruptcy protection under the laws of their respective jurisdictions.
Millennium USA and certain affiliated entities in which it has a direct or indirect interest
engaged in business with Lehman and those entities (including Millennium USA) have assets
that are held by Lehman, and claims against Lehman under a variety of agreements, that they
have not yet been able to fully recover. Additionally, Millennium USA and those certain
affiliates have incurred expenses and costs in connection with the liquidation of Lehman and the
MAXWELL I-83
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001360
EFTA00237006
effort to recover such assets and make such claims (such unrecovered assets and claims and
expenses are referred to herein as the "Lehman Exposure"). As of October 2008, Millennium
USA commenced offering only classes of shares that were not affected by the Lehman
insolvencies so that gains or losses related to the extraordinary events surrounding the Lehman
insolvencies would accrue only to the benefit (or detriment) of investors who were investors at
the time of the events, and would not affect subsequent investments. It is currently unknown to
what extent Millennium USA will ultimately be able to recover against the Lehman Exposure,
and it is expected that the process of resolving these matters will continue for an extended period
of time, but as noted above they will not effect new investments in Millennium USA.

Summary of Part Two of the Confidential Memorandum
(Information Relating to Millennium Partners, M.)
The following is a summary of certain detailed information set forth more fully in the Third
Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, as amended or supplemented from time to
time (the "Partnership Agreement") of Millennium Partners, (the "Master Partnership") and
elsewhere this Confidential Memorandum. This summary should be read in conjunction with, and
is qualified in its entirety by, such detailed information.
The \faster Partnership: The Master Partnership is an exempted limited partnership
registered under the laws of the Cayman Islands.
The Master Partnership currently accepts investments from a
limited number of affiliated private funds that invest all or a
portion of their assets, directly or indirectly, in the Master
Partnership or its trading subsidiaries or strategies (each, a
"Feeder Fund" and each such Feeder Fund collectively,
together with the Master Partnership, its trading subsidiaries or
strategies and the entities through which the Portfolio
Managers and related personnel invest in their strategies, the
"Fund").
Millennium Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company registered in the Cayman Islands, is the sole general
partner of the Master Partnership (the "General Partner"). The
Partnership Agreement grants substantially all of the power to
control the affairs and operations of the Master Partnership to
the General Partner. Israel Englander is the managing member
of the General Partner. The General Partner, its affiliated
Relying Advisers (as defined herein) and other affiliated
entities that participate in the management of the Master
Partnership's assets are collectively referred to herein as
"Millennium."
Certain Risk Factors: As described under "Certain Risk Factors Relating to an
Investment in the Fund" and "Related-Party Transactions;
Conflicts," the investment program of the Fund involves
significant risks, including the Fund's reliance upon Millennium
and a number of internal and third-party portfolio managers
(the "Portfolio Managers") selected by Millennium, the use of
leverage and trading in derivative instruments, and certain
potential conflicts of interest related to investment opportunities
and business activities among the Fund's affiliates and their
management.
AAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001364
EFTA00237010
The Fund's Investment The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve above-
Program and Strategy: average appreciation by opportunistically trading and investing
in a wide variety of securities, instruments, and other
investment opportunities and engaging in a broad array of
trading and investment strategies. THERE ARE NO
SUBSTANTIVE LIMITS ON THE INVESTMENT
STRATEGIES THAT MAY BE PURSUED BY THE
MASTER PARTNERSHIP. See "The Fund's Investment
Program and Description: Investment Strategies."
Millennium is responsible for managing the capital of the Fund
in accordance with the Fund's investment objective.
Millennium primarily allocates the Fund's invested capital
among a number of Portfolio Managers. Millennium also
makes direct (i.e., not through Portfolio Managers)
investments of the Fund's capital, either as a profit-seeking
investment (e.g., direct trading activities, which may include
increasing the Fund's exposure to certain strategies or
positions or to the net combined positions held by a number of
Portfolio Managers) or as hedges, or "contra" trades that seek
to establish a reduction in certain exposures. Millennium is
also responsible for the selection, monitoring and evaluation of
the Portfolio Managers, and the allocation and reallocation of
capital to them. See "The Fund's Investment Program and
Strategy."
As discussed under "The Fund's Investment Program and
Description: Eligible Investments," Millennium does not
establish fixed guidelines regarding diversification of
investments to be followed by the Fund; the Fund is authorized
to invest in all types of securities and other financial instruments
of United States and non-U.S. issuers, and to sell securities
short.
The Fund invests opportunistically and the universe of eligible
investments is not materially limited by any firm policies.
However, as is disclosed under "The Fund's Investment
Program and Description: Investment Strategies," the
investment strategies that the Fund employs may be expected
to include, among others, most or all of the following core
strategies:
• Relative Value Fundamental Equity;
• Statistical Arbitrage/Quantitative;
• Fixed-Income; and
• Merger Arbitrage and Event-Driven.
MAXWELL II-2
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001365
EFTA00237011
The Fund may also invest in certain other strategies including,
among others, distressed, commodities trading, closed-end
fund/asset arbitrage, convertible arbitrage and options trading.
The Fund may concentrate in a select few strategies while not
employing others and may employ additional investment
strategies or suspend any such strategies, as determined by
Millennium in its discretion, at any time without notice.
Leverage: The Fund has the power to borrow and ordinarily does borrow
very significant sums on a secured or unsecured basis and will
continue to do so whenever deemed appropriate by
Millennium, including to enhance the Fund's returns and meet
withdrawal obligations that would otherwise result in the
premature liquidation of investments. Additionally, certain
exchange-traded, non-exchange-traded, derivative and other
securities and instruments that may be traded will themselves
have embedded leverage. The use of leverage can
substantially increase the risk of losses to which the Fund's
investment portfolios may be subject. See "The Fund's
Investment Program and Description: Leverage and Loans."
Risk Management: Millennium's risk management personnel engage in regular
monitoring of the Fund's portfolio and of the Portfolio
Managers' trading activity. The results of this monitoring
program are used to assess the risk-adjusted profitability of the
Portfolio Managers (using a number of metrics), to make
capital allocation decisions, and to quantify and manage the
risks inherent in the Fund's portfolio. See "The Fund's
Management, Structure and Operations."
The Master Partnership's All expenses of the Master Partnership are assessed against the
Fees and Expenses: interests of the partners of the Master Partnership and, in turn,
against the interests of investors in the Feeder Funds. These
expenses include, among others, brokerage commissions,
interest expense, accounting expenses, audit and tax (including
withholding tax) expenses, compensation expenses (including
management or "base" fees and incentive compensation paid to
Portfolio Managers or third party funds), legal expenses,
administrator, registrar and transfer agent fees and expenses,
expenses related to computers, other equipment and
technology, expenses related to maintaining offices, including
leases and fixtures, premiums for general partner liability
insurance, risk-specific insurance, and "key-man" life
insurance on certain personnel (including Mr. Englander), and
other administrative and operating expenses. The Master
Partnership does not charge or pay to the General Partner a
AAXWELL 11-3
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001366
EFTA00237012
management fee. See "The Master Partnership's Fees and
Expenses."
Brokerage Issues: As discussed below under "The Fund's Investment Program
and Description: Brokerage Issues," the Fund executes and
clears transactions through a number of brokerage firms.
Brokers may also act as custodians for the Fund's securities.
To the extent that securities are purchased in non-U.S.
markets, non-U.S. brokers and/or custodians may be used and
may maintain custody of the securities until such time as they
are sold.
Transactions for the Fund will be allocated to brokers in
consideration of such factors as Millennium and its Portfolio
Managers deem appropriate under the circumstances.
Millennium does not have an obligation to obtain the lowest
available commission cost. Accordingly, if Millennium
determines in good faith that the commissions charged by a
broker or the prices charged by a dealer are reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research products or
services provided by the broker or dealer, the Fund may pay
commissions to the broker or prices to the dealer in an amount
greater than another might charge. Millennium has complete
discretion in deciding what brokers and dealers the Fund will
use and in negotiating the rates of compensation the Fund will
pay. In many instances that discretion is delegated to Portfolio
Managers who make specific trading decisions. See "The
Fund's Investment Program and Description: Brokerage."
From time to time, Millennium's personnel may be introduced
to potential investors interested in investing in private funds,
such as the Feeder Funds. Through such "capital introduction"
events, some of which are sponsored by the Fund's prime
brokers, such prospective investors have the opportunity to
meet with Millennium. Millennium does not directly
compensate any prime broker for organizing such events or for
investments in the Feeder Funds ultimately made by
prospective investors attending such events. In addition, the
Fund's prime brokers may provide Millennium with other
services. Such capital introduction events and other services
may influence Millennium to some extent in selecting prime
brokers and determining the extent to which a prime broker
will be used.
With respect to "soft dollar" arrangements, the conflicts that
typically give rise to concerns underlying the use of soft
dollars do not generally exist for Millennium, because the
Fund (and not the General Partner) bears all of the expenses
MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001367
EFTA00237013
related to its own operation. Therefore, the use of soft dollars
by Millennium generally does not result in any expense
shifting between the General Partner, on the one hand, and the
Fund (and, indirectly, investors in the Feeder Funds), on the
other hand.
Millennium has determined that the use of soft dollars will be
limited to payment for research and brokerage products and
services that Millennium believes meet the requirements of
Section 28(e) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934
("Section 28(e)"), and the U.S. Securities Exchange
Commission ("SEC") interpretations thereof, in jurisdictions
and transactions where Section 28(e) applies. Although
potentially outside the scope of Section 28(e), Millennium has
also adopted a policy to the effect that the requirements of
Section 28(e) should generally be satisfied by its non-U.S.
management companies in addition to any local requirements
that are applicable to a particular management company with
respect to the use of soft dollars.
Millennium generates soft dollars with commissions on
securities transactions, and, in accordance with SEC
interpretations, with markups, markdowns, commission
equivalents or other fees paid to a dealer for executing a
transaction. In addition, to the extent consistent with
applicable regulatory requirements, soft dollars may be
generated through futures transactions, certain principal
transactions, non-U.S. transactions, or other transactions.
A consequence of the use of soft dollar arrangements is that,
under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, items that
would otherwise be characterized as expenses in the
consolidated financial statements of the Master Partnership
will instead be subsumed within commissions. As a result,
line-item expenses will appear smaller than they would have
had soft dollars not been utilized. It is possible that some
expenses paid through the utilization of soft dollar
arrangements might be greater than if Millennium or the Fund
had purchased the research or brokerage services in question
directly or had produced them internally.
Given the Fund's investment program, short-term market
considerations are frequently involved. Turnover of portions
of the Fund's portfolio, and, therefore, brokerage commissions,
will be substantially greater than the turnover rates of other
types of investment vehicles.

Certain Tax Matters As discussed under "Certain Tax Matters Relating to the
Relating to the Master Master Partnership," the Master Partnership is an exempted
Partnership: limited partnership under Cayman Islands law. The Master
Partnership has received an undertaking as to tax concessions
pursuant to Section 17 of the Exempted Limited Partnership
Law (as amended) from the Governor in Council of the
Cayman Islands dated November 28, 2000, which provides
that, for a period of 50 years from the date thereof, no law
thereafter enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any taxes to
be levied on income or capital assets, gains or appreciation will
apply to any income or property of the Master Partnership.
There can be no assurance that the U.S. or Cayman Islands tax
laws or the tax laws of other relevant jurisdictions will not be
changed adversely with respect to the Master Partnership, the
Feeder Funds, or their respective investors or that their income
tax status will not be successfully challenged by such

PART TWO: INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO THE FUND
The Fund's Investment Program and Strategy
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Fund (as defined herein) is to achieve above-
average appreciation by opportunistically trading and investing in a wide variety of
securities, instruments, and other investment opportunities and engaging in a broad array
of trading and investment strategies. There are no substantive limits on the investment
strategy that may be pursued by the Fund.
As is described in greater detail below, in carrying out its investment program and
strategy, the Fund may, directly or indirectly, trade, invest in, or otherwise obtain
exposure to U.S. and non-U.S. equity and debt securities (both public and non-public),
currencies, futures and forward contracts, commodities, mortgage-backed and asset-
backed securities, options and other derivative instruments, loan participations and other
means of obtaining credit exposure to selected borrowers, and a variety of other
investment opportunities.
Portfolio Managers
Millennium is responsible for managing the capital of the Fund in accordance
with the Fund's investment objectives. Millennium primarily allocates the Fund's
invested capital among a number of Portfolio Managers (as defined herein). Subject to
the oversight of Millennium, the Portfolio Managers generally make day-to-day
investment and trading decisions for the Fund. Millennium is also responsible for the
selection, monitoring and evaluation of, and allocation of capital to, the Portfolio
Managers.
The term "Portfolio Manage?' refers to a group, typically one to five individuals
but sometimes many more, operating as a single team to manage a portion of the Fund's
assets. In some instances a team-member may be a sub-Portfolio Manager to whom day-
to-day responsibility for a portion of a Portfolio Manager's portfolio is delegated.
Certain Portfolio Managers are employed by Millennium, while others are third-party
independent contractors not employed by Millennium, most of which are Relying
Advisers (as defined herein). Certain Portfolio Managers employed by Millennium may
form limited liability companies or other entities in connection with the performance of
services to Millennium. Portfolio Managers operate their respective trading groups and
are primarily responsible for their groups' trading, personnel, and similar decisions,
subject to Millennium's risk management, and, in the case of Portfolio Managers that are
employees or Relying Advisers, to Millennium's supervision and control.
Portfolio Managers that are independent contractors, and are not Relying
Advisers, are responsible for their own operations (e.g., the hiring of personnel and
information technology), although in most instances Millennium retains ultimate control
over the accounts managed by the Portfolio Manager. Certain of such Portfolio
Managers may also manage capital for one or more other clients.
11-8
MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001371
EFTA00237017
Firm Trading
Millennium also makes direct not through Portfolio Managers) investments
of the Fund's capital, either as a profit-seeking investment (e.g., direct trading activities,
which may include increasing the Fund's exposure to certain strategies or positions or to
the net combined positions held by a number of Portfolio Managers) or as hedges or
"contra" trades that seek to establish a reduction in certain of the Fund's exposures.
Investments inFunds Managed by Third-PartyManagers
In some cases, the Fund's capital is invested in investment funds managed by
third-party asset managers. The Fund or Millennium may also take an equity stake in the
third-party management company. See "Related Party Transactions; Conflicts."
Other Structures
The Fund may also, from time to time, enter into joint venture arrangements, co-
invest with third parties, and provide seed capital to managers, or enter into relationships
that encompass elements of more than one of these categories, as well as new structures
that Millennium determines are appropriate for the Fund.
The Master Partnership's Organization
Organization
Organization of the Master Partnership; Master-Feeder Relationship. The Master
Partnership was initially organized in 1989 as a Delaware limited partnership and was
redomiciled in the Cayman Islands as of January I, 2000. The Master Partnership is
registered as an exempted limited partnership in the Cayman Islands and therefore, as
described below under "Certain Tax Matters Relating to the Master Partnership — Certain
Cayman Islands Tax Matters," general and limited partners in the Master Partnership are
not currently subject to income, corporation, capital gains or other taxes in the Cayman
Islands. Millennium Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
"General Partner") is also registered as a foreign company in the Cayman Islands as
required by Cayman Islands law for the general partner of an exempted limited
partnership. The General Partner, its affiliated Relying Advisers (as defined herein) and
other affiliated entities that participate in the management of the Master Partnership's
assets are collectively referred to herein as "Millennium." Millennium may sponsor one
or more additional investment vehicles which may to some degree compete with the Fund
for some investment opportunities and may present additional conflicts. See "Related
Party Transactions; Conflicts."
The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Master Partnership, with
substantially all of the power to control its affairs and operations.
EMI -MAXWELL 11-9
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001372
EFTA00237018
The Master Partnership currently accepts investments from a limited number of
affiliated private funds that invest all or a portion of their assets, directly or indirectly, in
the Master Partnership or the Master Partnership's trading subsidiaries or strategies (each,
a "Feeder Fund" and each such Feeder Fund collectively, together with the Master
Partnership, its trading subsidiaries or strategies and the entities through which the
Portfolio Managers and related personnel invest in their strategies, the "Fund").
Currently, the Feeder Funds are:
• Millennium USA LP ("Millennium USA"), a Delaware limited
partnership formed in November 1997, which accepts investments from
taxable U.S. investors that qualify as "accredited investors" and "qualified
purchasers" under the U.S. federal securities laws. Millennium USA
primarily invests its capital in the Master Partnership.
• Millennium International, Ltd. ("Millennium International"), an exempted
company incorporated in December 1997 under the laws of the Cayman
Islands, which accepts investments from persons who are not "U.S.
Persons" and from tax-exempt U.S. Persons (e.g., 501(c)(3) non-profit
organizations and individual retirement accounts) that qualify as
"accredited investors" and "qualified purchasers" under the U.S. federal
securities laws. Millennium International primarily invests its capital
indirectly in the Master Fund, through its investment in Millennium
Offshore Intermediate, •. ("Millennium Offshore Intermediate"), a
Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership formed in May 2011.
• Millennium Strategic Capital LP ("Millennium Strategic Capital"), a
Delaware limited partnership formed in April 2011, which accepts
investments from taxable U.S. investors that qualify as "accredited
investors" and "qualified purchasers" under the U.S. federal securities
laws. Millennium Strategic Capital primarily invests its capital in the
Master Partnership.
• Millennium Strategic Capital, Ltd. ("Millennium Strategic Capital
Offshore"), an exempted company incorporated in June 2011 under the
laws of the Cayman Islands, which accepts investments from persons who
are not "U.S. Persons" and from tax-exempt U.S. Persons (e.g., 501(cX3)
non-profit organizations and individual retirement accounts) that qualify
as "accredited investors" and "qualified purchasers" under the U.S. federal
securities laws. Millennium Strategic Capital Offshore primarily invests
its capital indirectly in the Master Partnership, through its investment in
Millennium Offshore Intermediate.
• Millennium Global Estate LP ("Millennium Global Estate"), a Delaware
limited partnership formed in May 2000, which accepts investments only
from insurance company segregated asset accounts, insurance company
qualified general accounts and insurance dedicated partnerships that
qualify as "accredited investors" and "qualified purchasers" under the U.S.

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001373
EFTA00237019
federal securities laws. In accordance with the investment requirements
imposed by applicable insurance laws and regulations, Millennium Global
Estate invests a portion of its assets in the Master Partnership only as a
part of a broader investment strategy.
Subsidiaries
The Master Partnership owns or controls a number of direct or indirect
subsidiaries that may trade in their own names and are generally consolidated into the
financial reports of the Master Partnership.
Capital Structure
The equity ownership of the Master Partnership is divided into general partner
interests and limited partner interests. The interests differ in the amount of liability that
they impose on their holders and in the ability to control the Master Partnership. The
liability of limited partners is generally limited to the amount of invested capital at risk,
while the liability of general partners can exceed invested capital. The Third Amended
and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Master Partnership, as amended or
supplemented from time to time (the "Partnership Agreement"), grants the power to
control the Master Partnership to the General Partner. The general partner interests and
the limited partner interests both participate in the net capital appreciation and net capital
depreciation of the Master Partnership, with the capital account of each partner being
adjusted on a monthly basis to reflect changes in the Master Partnership's net asset value.
There is no incentive compensation paid or allocated to the General Partner at the Master
Partnership level.
Certain Risk Factors Relating to an Investment in the Fund
Prospective investors should consider the following factors in determining
whether an investment in a Feeder Fund is a suitable investment:
Business and Structural Risks
Possible Efibct of Withdrawals andRedemptions
Substantial withdrawals of capital by a Feeder Fund from the Master Partnership
in connection with investor withdrawals or redemptions could require the Master
Partnership to liquidate investments more rapidly than might otherwise be desirable to
raise the necessary cash to fund the withdrawals. Similarly, Feeder Funds or other
investment vehicles established by Millennium from time to time may invest directly in
certain entities through which the Fund invests its capital, and may add or withdraw
capital from such entities from time to time without notice to investors in the Feeder
Funds. There is a risk that substantial withdrawals and redemptions could be targeted for
a single date or occur during a short period of time; moreover, contractual limits on
withdrawals and redemptions and early withdrawal or redemption charges may be waived
and will not apply upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event (as defined in Part One of the
applicable version of this Confidential Memorandum). As a result, the ability of the Fund
to plan for and anticipate the volume of withdrawals and redemptions (other than the
MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001374
EFTA00237020
advance written notice requirements imposed by the Feeder Funds' organizational
documents) can be limited.
In the event that there are substantial withdrawals, the Fund could find it difficult
to adjust its asset allocation and investment strategies to the suddenly reduced amounts of
assets. In addition, in order to provide sufficient funds to pay the amounts withdrawn, the
Fund might be required to close out positions at an inappropriate time or on unfavorable
terms, and events of default and increased collateral requirements could be triggered
under certain of the Fund's borrowing facilities and counterparty relationships. In the
event of a high volume of withdrawals, such liquidation of positions could adversely
affect the value of an investor's interests. Finally, to the extent that a Feeder Fund
reduces the restrictions on redemptions that are applicable to its investors, the Fund may
be in a position where it is attempting to liquidate less liquid positions to satisfy
redemption requests from the other Feeder Funds' investors, which could adversely affect
the value of an investor's interests.
Business Dependent on Key Individuals; Reliance on Portfolio Managers
The success of the Fund is significantly dependent upon the expertise of a number
of individuals, including, Israel A. Englander (the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of the General Partner), Terry Feeney (Co-President and Chief Operating Officer of the
General Partner), David Nolan (Co-President and Chief Risk Officer of the General
Partner), Michael Gelband (Senior Managing Director and the Global Head of Fixed
Income of the General Partner) and Hyung Lee (Senior Managing Director and the
Global Head of Equities of the General Partner). If certain of these individuals should
cease to be involved in the ongoing operation of Millennium for any reason, the Fund
may be exposed to the risk of termination of critical agreements containing "key man"
clauses. In addition, in the case of the death, disability, adjudication of incompetency,
bankruptcy, insolvency or withdrawal of Israel A. Englander, the Fund may be exposed
to the withdrawal or redemption, without the imposition of contractual limits on
withdrawals and redemptions or early withdrawal or redemption charges, of all of the
equity capital of the Fund. See "- Special Withdrawal or Redemption Right Upon a
Trigger Event."
Millennium grants trading authority to a number of Portfolio Managers. The
success of the Fund's investment program (and the return on investments in the Feeder
Funds) depends generally on the performance of these Portfolio Managers, rather than on
the trading and investing skills of Millennium itself. To the extent that Millennium is
unable to select, manage, allocate appropriate levels of capital to, and retain Portfolio
Managers that, in the aggregate, are able to produce consistent positive returns for the
Fund (particularly, outperforming Portfolio Managers) or, conversely, to the extent that
Millennium does not adequately monitor, supervise, and allocate capital away from
Portfolio Managers that are underperforming, the performance of the Fund (and the
return on investment for interests in the Feeder Funds) will be adversely affected.
Portfolio Managers who are successful may be able to negotiate agreements providing for
additional compensation to them, which will reduce the profits available to the Feeder
Funds and their investors.
V1AXWELL II-I2
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001375
EFTA00237021
Deferred Compensation Arrangements
In connection with deferred compensation arrangements, one of the Feeder Funds
has entered into swap and option contracts with respect to which counterparties subscribe
for certain classes of the Feeder Fund's equity capital in order to hedge their exposure
under such contracts. Such contracts may provide that upon the occurrence of certain
events, including declines in the capital of the Fund or the Feeder Fund below pre-
determined thresholds and changes in senior management, these contracts can be
terminated by the counterparties and such equity capital can be withdrawn from the
Feeder Fund, without the imposition of contractual limits on withdrawals and
redemptions or early withdrawal or redemption charges, on either a monthly or quarterly
basis.
Competition; Low Barriers to Enny
Millennium faces intense competition in attracting and retaining successful
Portfolio Managers. Millennium's ability to continue to compete effectively will depend
upon its ability to attract new successful Portfolio Managers and retain and motivate
existing successful Portfolio Managers. In addition, at any given time, a relatively small
number of Portfolio Managers may be responsible fora significant majority of the Fund's
positive performance. The investment management field is intensively competitive and
there are few barriers to entry. As a result, the Fund's Portfolio Managers are constantly
facing new competition for profitable transactions, and successful portfolio managers
from existing firms, including the Fund, may form new firms engaged in strategies
similar to those employed by the Fund. To the extent any such competitors are
successful, the opportunities available to the Fund, and its potential profitability, may be
reduced.
Role of Technology
The Fund is heavily dependent on its technology and communications links. On
the trading side, the ability to gather large amounts of current and historical data, process
that data against a static or dynamic trading model, and execute trades before a window
of opportunity (which can be open for as little as a few milliseconds) closes is of critical
importance to some of the Fund's Portfolio Managers. The Fund's operations function
relies heavily on technology for processing and settling trades. For compliance purposes,
the availability of highly accurate, auditable data is important for monitoring compliance
with applicable regulations. While Millennium devotes significant resources to the firm's
technology and communications needs, the Fund may experience disruptive or gradual
technological or communications failures that could result in substantial economic
damages (including missed opportunities for profit) to the Fund. Millennium has
outsourced certain information technology services and may at any time and without
notice to investors determine to outsource a substantial amount of the information
technology services that Millennium currently provides to the Fund. Millennium may
also determine at any time to use internal resources to provide information technology
services that currently are (or may in the future be) outsourced. To the extent that the
Fund outsources such services, the Fund's operations may be highly dependent on such
services and the successful operation of such services will often be out of the Fund's or
MAXWELL II-13
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001376
EFTA00237022
Millennium's control. The failure of one or more outsourced services could have a
material adverse effect on the Fund.
In addition, there can be no assurance that the Fund's technology and
communications links will continue to be able to accommodate its growth, or that the cost
of maintaining such systems will not increase from its current level. Such a failure to
accommodate growth or such an increase in costs could have a material adverse effect on
the Fund.
Business Continuity
Millennium's headquarters, located in New York, are important to the continued
business of the Fund. A disaster or a disruption in the infrastructure that supports the
Fund's businesses, including a disruption involving electronic communications or other
services used by the Fund or third parties with whom it conducts business, or directly
affecting Millennium's headquarters, may have a material adverse impact on the Fund.
Although the Fund provides redundancy and diversity for communications and related
systems wherever practicable and although it has a business continuity plan, which
includes replication of data to geographically diverse locations, replication of
communications links and a business continuity office facility, there can be no assurance
that these measures will be sufficient to mitigate the harm that may result from such a
disaster or infrastructure disruption. Some types of potential disasters, such as mass
influenza or contagion, are not susceptible to minimization through recovery sites or
contingency plans and certain disasters may not be foreseeable.
Portfolio Manager Compensation Structure Risk
The Portfolio Managers are primarily compensated through performance-based
compensation (which generally is paid by the Feeder Funds) determined as a percentage
of profits earned by the Portfolio Manager during the preceding calendar year, with
profits measured on an accrual ("mark to market") basis, and without taking into account
the performance of the other Portfolio Managers or the Fund generally. If a Portfolio
Manager suffers net losses during the year, the losses are generally carried forward and
past losses must be made up before performance-based compensation becomes payable in
subsequent years. Portfolio Managers also receive a salary or "base" fees, which are
generally treated as an advance against their profits interests if there are profits (although
for certain Portfolio Managers may instead be treated as an expense of their account).
There is generally no "carryback" or "clawback" of losses to permit recouping of profit
interests from prior years. In addition, Portfolio Managers with positive performance will
receive performance-based compensation even if the Fund's overall returns are negative.
Millennium may also agree to "guarantee" a level of compensation for a Portfolio
Manager for a particular year (or years).
This compensation structure inevitably may be seen to create an incentive for a
Portfolio Manager to accept significant risks, in excess of levels that the Fund would find
acceptable, in seeking to obtain profits, particularly near the end of a year in which losses
have been incurred. Nonetheless, the Fund has found the compensation scheme generally
fair and effective over time in providing trading incentives that correspond appropriately
MAXWELL 11-14
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001377
EFTA00237023
to the Fund's goals. Since the senior management of Millennium has a significant
investment in the Fund (either by direct investment in a feeder fund or through deferred
compensation arrangements), the senior management's interests in such matters are
reasonably well aligned with the interests of investors generally.
This obligation in respect of Portfolio Manager compensation is separate from
and in addition to the performance- or asset-based compensation received by Millennium
from the Feeder Funds. In addition, certain personnel who assist in overseeing groups of
Portfolio Managers (e.g., within a particular strategy) may receive compensation based
on the overall performance of the Portfolio Managers. However, such compensation is
taken into account when calculating the performance- or asset-based compensation
received by Millennium from the Feeder Funds.
Incentive Allocation
The performance-based compensation earned by Millennium from the Feeder
Funds, could, under some circumstances, create an incentive for Millennium to cause the
Fund to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case if
such compensation were not performance-based, particularly in any period after losses
have been suffered. In addition, because such compensation is calculated on a basis that
includes unrealized appreciation of the Fund's assets, the total compensation paid will be
different from (and may be greater than) the result that would have been obtained if such
compensation were based solely on realized gains. (See also "Certain Market and
Investment Risks — Valuation Risk.")
Transaction Fees Resulting From Uncoordinated Trading; Asymmetric
Performance
Investment decisions of the Fund are, in many cases, made by the Portfolio
Managers independently of each other so that, at any particular time, one Portfolio
Manager may be purchasing shares of an issuer whose shares are being sold at the same
time by another Portfolio Manager. Risk management decisions to take positions that
offset the aggregate positions of the various Portfolio Managers may lead to a similar
result. Transactions of this sort will inevitably result in the Fund's directly or indirectly
incurring certain transaction costs without accomplishing any net investment result for
the Fund as a whole. It is possible that, from time to time, various Portfolio Managers
may be competing with each other for the same positions in one or more markets.
Issuance of Debt or Preferred Securities and Similar Arrangements
The Fund may, without notice to or consent from existing investors, issue or
guarantee classes of capital, preferred equity, debt and convertible debt, or enter into
similar arrangements, including letters of credit, which may provide the holders thereof
or parties thereto terms that are preferential to the terms applicable to the interests held by
existing investors in the Fund. Such terms could include, among others, a security
interest over certain assets of the Fund that would provide the holder thereof or party
thereto the right to foreclose upon such assets following the occurrence of certain trigger
events such as insolvency, bankruptcy or a suspension of withdrawals. If such securities
M=-MAXWELL 11-15
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001378
EFTA00237024
are outstanding or such an arrangement exists and a trigger event occurs, it is possible
that holders thereof or parties thereto would be entitled to receive assets of the Fund in
satisfaction of its obligations to them at a time when investors in the Feeder Funds are not
able to redeem their interests.
IntellectualProperty
A Portfolio Manager may use its own intellectual property in the investment
strategies utilized for the Fund. Millennium requires the Portfolio Manager to make
representations and warranties about its ownership of such intellectual property.
However, if a Portfolio Manager is later found to have infringed upon another party's
intellectual property, the Fund may be adversely affected, including by having to
disgorge profits generated by the use of such intellectual property.
Additionally, because such intellectual property is often owned by the Portfolio
Manager, the Fund's ability to review it for compliance or other purposes may be limited,
and even if able to review it, the complexity of the intellectual property may make it
difficult to review and monitor. In such a situation, if a successful Portfolio Manager
were to leave the Fund, the Fund would have no ability to continue to trade the particular
strategy using the intellectual property.
Formation ofAdditionalFunds
Although the Master Partnership and the Feeder Funds are the only investment
funds currently managed by Millennium and its affiliated management companies,
Millennium retains the right to organize additional investment vehicles, and frequently
considers doing so. As set forth below in the section entitled "Related Party
Transactions; Conflicts, " if Millennium (or an affiliate) were to organize one or more
such additional funds, there would be a number of conflicts between them and the Master
Partnership and the Feeder Funds. Such conflicts may subject investors in the Feeder
Funds to a risk of loss that would not exist in the absence of such conflicts. Millennium
will attempt to resolve such conflicts by making allocations and other judgments on a
basis that it believes to be fair and equitable under the circumstances, but there can be no
guarantee that such actions will reduce or minimize the associated risk.
Certain Market and Investment Risks
Investment and Trading Risks in General
Inherent in any investment in securities is the risk of losing the invested capital.
Millennium believes that the Fund's investment program and the Portfolio Managers'
research techniques moderate this risk through a careful selection of securities and
investment opportunities, as well as through the application of Millennium's ongoing
qualitative and quantitative risk assessment and management program. However, no
guarantee or representation is made that the Fund's investment program will be
successful or profitable, and investment results may vary substantially over time. The
Fund's investment program will utilize investment techniques such as option and
derivative transactions, limited diversification, margin transactions, short sales, and
MAXWELL 11-16
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001379
EFTA00237025
futures and forward contracts, which can, in certain circumstances, maximize the adverse
impact of any loss or adverse event to which the Fund may be subject. (See "The Fund's
Investment Program and Description: Eligible Investments" and "The Fund's Investment
Program and Description: Investment Strategies.")
Millennium does not, in general, attempt to measure or hedge all market or other
risks inherent in the Fund's portfolio, and measure and hedge certain risks, if at all, only
partially. Specifically, Millennium may choose not, or may determine that it is
economically unattractive, to hedge certain risks, instead relying on diversification in an
attempt to mitigate the risks. As discussed below, the Fund is not limited to any specific
policies or requirements for diversification or risk mitigation.
GeneralMarkel andEconomic Risk
Most trading strategies utilized by the Fund involve some, and occasionally a
significant degree of, market risk. The profitability of the Fund, and, consequently, each
Feeder Fund, depends, in significant part, upon Millennium's and the Portfolio
Managers' correctly assessing future price movements of securities and other financial
instruments. A Feeder Fund cannot assure any investor in a Feeder Fund that Millennium
or the Portfolio Managers will accurately predict these price movements. Additionally,
unanticipated illiquidity in a market could lead to substantial losses or mean that the Fund
is unable to close out certain positions when it wishes.
The success of the Fund's activities also will be affected by general economic and
market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic
uncertainty, changes in laws (including laws relating to taxation of the Fund's
investments) or regulations (or their interpretation), trade barriers, currency exchange
controls, and national and international political circumstances (including wars, terrorist
acts or security operations). These factors will affect the level and volatility of the prices
of securities, commodities and other financial instruments and the liquidity of the Fund's
investments. Illiquidity or significant changes in volatility could impair the Fund's
profitability or result in losses.
The Fund invests in the U.S. and a number of other countries. The economies of
non-U.S. countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such
respects as growth of gross domestic product, rate of inflation, relative currency
appreciation or depreciation, asset reinvestment opportunities, resource self-sufficiency
and balance of payments position. Further, certain economies are heavily dependent
upon international trade and, accordingly, have been and may continue to be adversely
affected by trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency
values and other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with
which they trade. The economies of certain non-U.S. countries may be based,
predominantly, on only a few industries and may be vulnerable to changes in trade
conditions and may have higher levels of debt or inflation than others.

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001380
EFTA00237026
ExtraordinaryMarket Conditions and Governmental Actions
Beginning in 2008 and continuing at least through the date of this Confidential
Memorandum, world financial markets experienced a series of extraordinary market
conditions, including, among other things, extreme losses and volatility in commodities
and securities markets, the failure of credit markets to function normally, and threats of
sovereign defaults. In reaction to these events, regulators and central banks in the U.S.
and several other countries undertook unprecedented actions. Today, such regulators and
central banks continue to consider and implement additional measures intended to
stabilize and encourage growth in U.S. and global financial markets. It is uncertain
whether the regulatory actions taken by regulators will reduce losses and volatility in
securities markets, or stimulate the credit markets, and such actions are, in any event, not
generally designed to provide benefits to the Fund.
Millennium believes that the Fund may be materially and adversely affected by
similar or other events in the future. For example, markets may experience extreme
volatility and losses and the Fund may be unable to hedge, or effectively hedge, certain
material risks. In the long term, there may be significant new regulations that could limit
the Fund's activities and investment opportunities or change the functioning of capital
markets, and there is the possibility the severe worldwide economic downturn could
continue for a period of years. Consequently, the Fund may not be capable of, or
successful at, preserving the value of its assets, generating positive investment returns or
effectively managing its risks.
Current Economic Conditions ofthe European Economic andMonetary Union
Certain members of the Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union
(the "EMU"), including, without limitation, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain,
are experiencing varying degrees of financial distress and Europe is in the midst of a
sovereign debt crisis. This distress, and governmental responses to it, have had
significant effects on global financial markets, and there remains considerable uncertainty
regarding the European debt crisis and its continued impact on these markets. Among
other things, concerns include the risk of sovereign defaults, a breakup of the EMU as it
is currently constituted, the reversion by one or more EMU countries to utilization of a
national currency, and other risks. In the event of reversion by one or more EMU
countries to a national currency, the legal and contractual consequences for holders of
Euro-denominated obligations would be determined by the relevant contractual
arrangements and other applicable laws in effect at such time. These consequences, and
the market's reaction to such events, could materially adversely affect the Fund. For
example, such an event could render the Euros and Euro-referenced positions of the Fund
illiquid for an undetermined period of time. Such illiquidity could lead to substantial
losses or render the Fund unable to close out certain positions when it wishes. Further,
the mandatory conversion of Euros and Euro-referenced positions to a national currency
may occur at a currency exchange rate that materially diminishes the value of some or all
of the Fund's Euros and Euro-referenced positions. It is difficult to predict the effect of
such events if they were to transpire, and any such event could have a material adverse
effect on any Euro-denominated investments and other investments made by the Fund.
.=-MAXWELL 11-18
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001381
EFTA00237027
The Fund may take any number of actions to minimize the impact of the foregoing
circumstances, including, without limitation, suspending redemptions.
Further, a Feeder Fund issues euro-denominated shares, which, due to the manner
in which they are administered, are necessarily subject to risks that are not relevant to
shares denominated in other currencies. Instability in the Euro and the potential breakup
of the EMU has exacerbated these risks. Such Feeder Fund may take any number of
actions in an effort to minimize the impact of such risks, including, without limitation,
permitting or requiring the redemption of Euro-denominated shares at a time when the
other shares or interests of the Feeder Funds are not permitted to be redeemed. Actions
taken in an effort to minimize the risks associated with the Euro-denominated shares of
such Feeder Fund could adversely impact the remaining indirect investors in the Master
Partnership.
Counterparty Risks
The Fund may enter into many transactions, including derivative and other over-
the-counter transactions, with or through third parties in which the failure of the third
party to perform its obligations could have a material adverse effect on the Fund. The
counterparty risk is accentuated for contracts with longer maturities where events may
intervene to prevent settlement, or where the Fund has concentrated its transactions with
a single or small group of counterparties.
The assets of the Fund and its trading affiliates generally are held in accounts
maintained for them by their prime brokers or in accounts with other market participants,
including non-U.S. sub-custodians selected by the prime brokers. The accounts generally
are not segregated, bankruptcy-remote accounts titled in the owner's name and, therefore,
a failure of any broker or market participant is likely to have a greater adverse impact
than if the assets, or the accounts in which they are held, were registered in the name of
the Fund or its affiliate. In addition, because the Fund's and its affiliates' securities
generally are held in margin accounts, and the prime brokers have the ability to loan
those securities to other persons, the Fund's or an affiliate's ability to recover all of its
assets in the context of a bankruptcy or other failure of a prime broker may be further
limited.
The Fund may transact with counterparties (including prime brokers) located in
various jurisdictions outside the United States. The local counterparties are subject to
various laws and regulations in various jurisdictions that are designed to protect their
customers in the event of their insolvency. However, the practical effect of these laws
and their application to the Fund's assets are subject to substantial limitations and
uncertainties. Because of the large number of entities and jurisdictions involved and the
range of possible factual scenarios involving the insolvency of a counterparty, it is
impossible to generalize about the effect of their insolvency on the Fund and its assets.
Investors should assume that the insolvency of any significant counterparty would result
in a loss to the Fund, which could be material.
In 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and several of its affiliated entities
(collectively, "Lehman") filed for bankruptcy protection under the laws of their
-MAXWELL 11-19
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001382
EFTA00237028
respective jurisdictions. The Fund and certain affiliated entities in which it has a direct or
indirect interest engaged in business with Lehman and those entities (including the Fund)
have assets that are held by Lehman, and claims against Lehman under a variety of
agreements, which they have not yet been able to fully recover. Additionally, the Fund
and those certain affiliates have incurred expenses and costs in connection with the
liquidation of Lehman and the effort to recover the assets and make the claims (the
unrecovered assets and claims and expenses are referred to herein as the "Lehman
Exposure"). As of October 2008, the Feeder Funds commenced offering only classes of
shares that were not affected by the Lehman insolvencies so that gains or losses related to
the extraordinary events surrounding the Lehman insolvencies would accrue only to the
benefit (or detriment) of investors who were investors at the time of the events (or their
transferees), and would not affect subsequent investments. In 2008, based on its
understanding of events as they then existed, the Fund established reserves for
substantially all of its potential losses and expenses related to the Lehman insolvencies.
As required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Fund has
reviewed and adjusted, and will continue to periodically review and, if necessary, adjust
these reserves as additional information is learned about the Lehman insolvencies and the
potential for recovery. It is currently unknown to what extent the Fund will ultimately be
able to recover against the Lehman Exposure, and it is expected that the process of
resolving these matters will continue for an extended period of time, but as noted above
they will not effect new investments in the Feeder Funds.
If additional counterparties of the Fund were to become insolvent or the subject of
liquidation proceedings, there exists the risk that the recovery of the Fund's securities and
other assets from the prime broker or broker-dealer will be delayed or be of a value less
than the value of the securities or assets originally entrusted to the prime broker or
broker-dealer. Additionally, there is a risk that positions that are reasonably hedged may
become "unhedged" as a result of the effect of insolvency proceedings.
LimitedDiversification
In the normal course of making investments, the Fund will attempt to diversify its
investments. While Millennium monitors investment concentrations for risk management
purposes, it does not establish fixed limits and guidelines regarding diversification of
investments to be followed by the Fund as a whole. As a result, the Fund's portfolio
could, to a certain degree, become concentrated in a single issuer, industry, market or
sector. The concentration of risk may increase losses suffered by the Fund. It is also
possible that the Fund could become concentrated in any one strategy, and the
investments of the strategy may be more illiquid than the investments in another strategy.
In addition, it is possible that Millennium may select Portfolio Managers who make
investments that are concentrated in a limited number of types of financial instruments.
This limited diversity may lead to greater volatility than would otherwise be the case, and
could expose the Fund to losses disproportionate to market movements in general. Even
when Millennium attempts to control risks and diversify the portfolio, risks associated
with different assets may be correlated in unexpected ways, with the result that the Fund
faces concentrated exposure to certain risks. Although Millennium attempts to identify,
monitor and manage significant risks, these efforts do not take all risks into account and
MAXWELL II-20
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001383
EFTA00237029
there can be no assurance that these efforts will be effective. Any inadequacy or failure
in Millennium's risk management efforts could result in material losses for the Fund.
Borrowing andLending Activities andMargin Requirements
The Fund borrows, pledges, loans and otherwise finances assets on both a secured
and an unsecured basis and may issue notes or enter into credit agreements, indentures or
other financing arrangements in order to achieve efficient financing structures.
At any given time, the outstanding contractual obligations of the Fund are likely
to total well in excess of its equity. There is no restriction on the ability of the Fund to
borrow or enter into such contractual obligations. The brokers and market counterparties
with which the Fund transacts will have a secured claim against the assets of the Fund
that are on deposit with the brokers or counterparties, senior to the claim of the Feeder
Funds (and their investors). Significant losses from investment activities or changes in
market conditions that affect the assets could result in the brokers' or counterparties'
foreclosing on the assets securing the obligations. The Fund may maintain balances with
certain counterparties in excess of margin requirements or other obligations to such
counterparties "excess collateral"). In the event of the insolvency of the financing
provider under such an arrangement, the Fund's claim for the value of such excess
collateral would be unsecured.
While the Fund seeks to enter into "lockup" agreements with many of its key
equity prime brokerage counterparties limiting the ability of those counterparties to
change financing or margin terms, recall loans or refuse to execute trades for a period of
time after notice is given absent an event of default or other termination event under the
agreements, creditors that provide financing to the Fund may, in certain circumstances,
accelerate a loan and require repayment in full upon the occurrence of certain events,
including: (i) changes in key management; (ii) suspension of redemptions; (iii) violations
of minimum capital levels; (iv) the imposition of regulatory sanctions on the Fund or its
key personnel that would materially and adversely affect the Fund's ability to conduct its
business or perform under the agreements; or (v) certain market conditions, including in
the event that such counterparty is no longer able to secure financing. In addition, market
conditions may make it difficult to obtain committed financing for extended periods of
time or at all, particularly when assets securing the financing are less liquid and such
agreements may not be available or economically attractive with respect to certain asset
classes. In many cases, when such lockup agreements are not in place, the banks and
dealers that provide financing to the Fund can apply discretionary margin, "haircut"
financing and security and collateral valuation policies. Changes by banks and dealers in
such policies, or the imposition of other credit limitations or restrictions, whether due to
market circumstances or governmental, regulatory or judicial action, may result in large
margin calls, requirements to post additional collateral, loss of financing, forced
liquidation of assets at disadvantageous prices, termination of swap and repurchase
agreements and cross defaults to agreements with the same or other counterparties. Any
such adverse effects may be exacerbated in the event that such limitations or restrictions
are imposed suddenly and/or by multiple market participants at or about the same time.
MAXWELL II-21
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001384
EFTA00237030
The imposition of the limitations or restrictions could compel the Fund to liquidate all or
part of its portfolio at disadvantageous prices.
Assets loaned by the Fund to third parties or collateral used to finance borrowing
may not be required to be kept segregated by the third parties, and may be subject to the
claims of other creditors of the third parties. Third parties that enter into financing
transactions with the Fund may default on their obligations to return the Fund's assets or
pay amounts owed to the Fund. Additionally, the Fund may experience a delay in the
recovery of or loss of rights in the collateral, if any.
Liquidity; Availability ofCredit
The Fund's investment strategies depend on the availability of credit in order to
perrnit the financing of its portfolio. The Fund's liquidity could be impaired by an
inability to access debt markets, an inability to sell assets or unforeseen outflows of cash
or collateral. Any or all of these situations could arise due to circumstances that the Fund
may be unable to control, such as a general market disruption or an operational problem
that affects third parties. A lack of liquidity has historically been the cause of substantial
losses in the securities industry. Liquidity risk will be increased if the Fund is required to
liquidate positions to meet margin requirements, margin calls or other funding
requirements. If there are other market participants seeking to dispose of similar
financial instruments at the same time, the Fund may be unable to sell the financial
instruments or prevent losses relating to the financial instruments. In times of market
stress, the liquidation of securities that are generally regarded as highly liquid nonetheless
may result in the Fund incurring significant losses. Furthermore, if the Fund incurs
substantial trading losses, the need for liquidity could rise sharply while its access to
liquidity could be impaired. The ability of counterparties to take actions following
declines in investment values which result in the forced liquidation of highly leveraged
positions in declining markets, including as a result of the Fund's having insufficient
liquidity to meet margin calls, could subject it to substantial losses. Millennium may fail
to adequately predict the liquidity that the Fund requires to address counterparty
requirements relating to falling values of investments being financed by the
counterparties, which could result not only in losses related to the investments, but also in
losses related to the need to liquidate unrelated investments in order to meet the Fund's
obligations. The Fund's losses may be magnified in the event that significant capital is
invested in highly leveraged investments or investment strategies. Such losses would
result in a decline in assets, may lead to requests from investors in the Feeder Funds to
redeem or withdraw remaining assets, and may in certain circumstances damage the
Fund's reputation.
Position Limits
"Position limits" imposed by various regulators or self-regulatory organizations
and exchanges may also limit the Fund's ability to effect desired trades. Position limits
are the maximum amounts of gross, net long or net short positions that any one person or
entity may own or control in a particular financial instrument. All positions owned or
controlled by the same person or entity, even if in different accounts, may be aggregated
MAXWELL 11-22
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001385
EFTA00237031
for purposes of determining whether the applicable position limits have been exceeded.
Thus, even if the Fund does not intend to exceed applicable position limits, it is possible
that different accounts managed by Millennium or its Portfolio Managers may be
aggregated. To the extent that the Fund's position limits were collapsed with an
affiliate's position limits, the effect on the Fund and resulting restriction on its investment
activities may be significant. If at any time, positions managed by Millennium were to
exceed applicable position limits, Millennium would be required to liquidate positions,
which might include positions of the Fund, to the extent necessary to come within those
limits. Further, to avoid exceeding the position limits, the Fund might have to forego or
modify certain of its contemplated trades.
Indebtedness
The Fund customarily borrows funds on a secured basis. The Fund may also
borrow through the issuance of notes. In the event that funds available to the Fund were
insufficient to meet principal or interest obligations on indebtedness (by reason of
acceleration of the indebtedness or otherwise), then funds would not be available to the
Feeder Funds for equity redemptions or withdrawals or for other purposes. Additionally,
the terms of any indebtedness or related agreements could include covenants restricting
the ability of the Fund to take actions, or waive conditions, that might otherwise have
been taken for the benefit of the Feeder Funds and ultimately their investors. One such
covenant might include a limitation on the Fund's ability to pay equity distributions to the
Feeder Funds, if, for example, its net asset value were to drop below a specified threshold
as a result of the payment. There is no limitation on the right or ability of the Fund to
enter into any such borrowing arrangements or related agreements.
Valuation Risk
The Administrator issues the Master Partnership's net asset value, as well as that
of the Feeder Funds, on a monthly basis after performing certain checks on valuation and
reconciliation information received from Millennium. Valuations of publicly traded
security positions are compared to market data independently obtained from third party
market data providers. Valuations of some other securities positions are compared to
information received from third parties, including brokers and independent valuation
service providers. Securities positions and cash balances are reconciled with the Fund's
records based upon confirmation or statements that the Administrator independently
receives from prime brokers and other financial institutions which hold assets of the
Fund. Recordation of monthly activity to the general ledger of the Master Partnership is
reviewed on a sample basis to verify it as materially correct. The procedures performed
do not constitute an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States (although the financial statements of the Master Partnership are audited in
accordance with such standards by the Master Partnership's independent auditors on a
semi-annual basis). The verification and review work conducted by the Administrator
does not constitute a 100% verification of the valuation work of Millennium.
The initial processes for determining the fair value of the Master Partnership's
positions (which are submitted to the Administrator for review) are formulated and
-MAXWELL II-23
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001386
EFTA00237032
administered by Millennium's Valuation Committee, which is comprised of persons
independent from specific portfolio management decisions. The fair value of the Master
Partnership's positions is determined using a number of methodologies described in
Millennium's valuation policies and procedures as amended or revised from time to time,
which may, in some cases, involve the exercise of a significant degree of market
judgment by Millennium. The methodologies Millennium's Valuation Committee uses
in valuing individual investments are based on a variety of estimates and assumptions
specific to the particular investment, and actual results related to the investment therefore
may vary materially as a result of the inaccuracy of the assumptions or estimates. In
addition, the Fund may at times hold illiquid investments in industries or sectors that are
unstable, in distress or undergoing some uncertainty, and such investments are subject to
rapid changes in value. The values of investments reflected in the net asset value of the
Fund (which is used to calculate performance-based compensation) may not always
reflect the prices that would actually be obtained by Millennium on behalf of the Fund if
the investments were immediately liquidated.
The Fund's audited financial statements generally are prepared in accordance with
GAAP. Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures defines and establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP
and expands financial statement disclosure requirements relating to fair value
measurements. Under rare circumstances, certain of the Fund's assets or liabilities may
be assigned a value under Millennium's valuation policies and procedures that diverges
from their valuation in accordance with GAAP.
Investments in Third-Party Investment Funds
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in investment funds managed by third
parties. The Fund generally will have less ability to (i) monitor the investments, (ii)
regularly obtain full, current information and (iii) exercise control rights over the
investments, than it has with respect to other allocations of capital of the Fund. In
addition, the Fund may not be able to withdraw assets from third-party funds at times
when it might otherwise wish to do so. With respect to any such assets, the Fund
generally relies on the valuations provided by the third-party funds and generally will not
have sufficient information to be able to confirm or review the accuracy of the valuations.
In the event that the Fund does not receive a valuation from a third-party fund, or
determines, in its sole discretion, that a valuation is inaccurate or incomplete, the Fund
may, in its sole discretion, determine the fair value of its interests in the third-party fund
independently of the valuations provided by the third-party fund based on information
available to, and factors deemed relevant by, the Fund at the time.
Trade Execution Risk
Many of the investment techniques used by the Portfolio Managers require the
rapid and efficient execution of transactions, or the ability of the Portfolio Managers to
accumulate or liquidate large positions. Inefficient execution can impair realization of
the market opportunities sought with the techniques.
.=-MAXWELL 11-24
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001387
EFTA00237033
Trade Error Risk
Occasionally, transactions may be executed erroneously on terms other than those
intended by the Fund or a Portfolio Manager. For example, a transaction may be
executed in the wrong asset, for the wrong quantity or price, to buy when the Fund or a
Portfolio Manager meant to sell, to sell when the Fund or a Portfolio Manager meant to
buy, or by reason of a programming error in a trading program. Programming errors
could also lead to the submission of repetitive orders or orders otherwise made in excess
of any intention, or could cause an algorithm-driven program to bypass risk management
or other controls. Except to the extent otherwise required by law, the Fund will bear the
losses or costs of any such errors, unless Millennium determines that the error occurred
due to fraud, gross negligence or reckless or intentional misconduct by Millennium (or, in
certain circumstances, its agents) or Millennium determines that it is appropriate to
charge a Portfolio Manager for the costs and expenses of the error.
Risks of Certain Trading Strategies, Techniques and Instruments
Investment Strategies ofthe Portfolio Managers
Portfolio Managers, among other things, will seek to use specialized investment
strategies, follow allocation methodologies, apply investment models or assumptions, and
enter into hedging and other strategies intended to affect their performance and risk
levels. The Fund cannot guarantee that any Portfolio Manager will have success in
achieving any goal related to those practices.
Relative Value andFundamental Value Strategies
Portfolio Managers may engage in both relative-value/arbitrage and fundamental-
value strategies with directional exposures. Some Portfolio Managers will use elements
of both approaches in their strategies. Fundamental-value strategies frequently involve
judgments about the future direction of financial instrument prices, markets and market
factors. If Portfolio Managers make incorrect judgments, the Fund could fail to earn
profits or could sustain significant losses. Arbitrage and relative-value strategies seek to
profit from mispricings and inefficiencies in the capital markets, frequently by entering
into simultaneous long and short positions. Pure arbitrage opportunities are rare.
Relative-value/arbitrage Portfolio Managers may hold directional exposures to select
financial instrument prices, markets, and market factors. Generally, it is not possible to
hedge all risks and exposures in relative-value/arbitrage strategies. Arbitrage and
relative-value strategies frequently entail the use of significant leverage and derivative
instruments, which may be volatile and illiquid. Portfolio Managers may be incorrect
about perceived mispricings among financial instruments, relative mispricings could be
sustained for an extended period or Portfolio Managers may be unsuccessful in
structuring and executing trades to profit from perceived mispricings. Financial
instruments may move in unexpected patterns. Even if financial instruments are
mispriced relative to each other based on historical or other relationships, they may fail to
converge in price for various reasons. The historical relationships between the prices of
different securities and financial instruments may change suddenly and unexpectedly for
MAXWELL 11-25
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001388
EFTA00237034
various reasons. Also, strategies that are largely uncorrelated under normal market
conditions may become more correlated at times of market stress. As a result, relative
value/arbitrage strategies may be subject to the same risk of loss as fundamental or
directional strategies.
Model-based Strategies
Certain of the Fund's investment strategies are based on models of the behavior of
financial instruments, market conditions or certain market participants and use formulas
or algorithms to make trading decisions by reviewing a variety of inputs, comparing the
information against historical and current data, and predicting price movements. These
models are developed by Portfolio Managers or third parties. Models generally must be
updated in order to remain effective. There can be no assurance that the Portfolio
Managers will be able to continue to develop, update or acquire effective models and any
changes that are made in an attempt to respond to perceived changes in market conditions
may be unsuccessful. Additionally, virtually all computer programs contain some errors
or "bugs" and it is impractical to eliminate 100% of the bugs in the programming process
(although programs generally are tested before they are put into use, in an attempt to
eliminate errors that would be likely to have significant consequences). As a result, while
Millennium expects that its and the Portfolio Managers' personnel will endeavor to
minimize the effect of programming errors, Millennium cannot provide any assurance
that all programs will in all instances operate in the intended manner, and there may be
remaining programming errors which could have substantial adverse consequences.
Statistical Arbitrage Strategies
The success of some of the Fund's statistical arbitrage or quantitative strategies
depends on the market values of various financial instruments moving towards their
theoretical values (or relative values) as predicted by statistical modeling. In the event of
market disruptions generally or specific events that cause deviations from historical
relationships between certain financial instruments and other instruments or data points
used to predict value, significant losses could be incurred.
Merger Arbitrage and Other Event-Driven Strategies
Merger arbitrage and other event-driven investment strategies generally incur
significant losses when proposed transactions are not consummated or expected events do
not occur. The consummation of mergers, tender offers, exchange offers and other
significant corporate events can be prevented or delayed by a variety of factors,
including: (i) regulatory intervention; (ii) efforts by a target company to pursue a
defensive strategy; (iii) the failure to obtain necessary shareholder approvals; (iv) adverse
company, market or business conditions resulting in a material change or termination of
the pending transaction; (v) additional requirements imposed by law; and (vi) the
inability to obtain adequate financing. Any such events could lead to losses.
MAXWELL 11-26
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001389
EFTA00237035
Convertible Arbitrage Strategies
Convertible arbitrage strategists identify convertible bonds, convertible preferred
stocks or warrants that appear mispriced or undervalued, yet offer a favorable rate of
return. By establishing a long position in a convertible security (usually preferred stock
or bonds) and a partially offsetting short position in the underlying security into which
the convertible security is convertible (usually common stock of the issuer), a Portfolio
Manager invests with the expectation of capturing price or yield differences or to seek to
profit from cash flow (e.g., coupon income and stock borrowed rebate). Generally,
changes in interest rates can influence the investment value of a convertible security. The
credit standing of the issuer, the value of the underlying stock and other factors may also
have an effect on the convertible security's investment value. A convertible security may
be subject to redemption at the option of the issuer at a price established in the
convertible security's governing instrument. If a convertible security held by a Portfolio
Manager is called for redemption, the Portfolio Manager will be required to permit the
issuer to redeem the security, convert it into the underlying common stock or sell it to a
third party. Any of these actions could result in losses to the Fund.
Short Positions
Portfolio Managers routinely take short positions in a wide range of assets,
typically as part of a hedged strategy intended to reduce the risk of investing. A short
sale of an asset exposes the seller to the risk of an increase in the market price of that
asset with a theoretically unlimited risk of loss. Purchasing assets to close out a short
position can itself cause their market price to rise further, increasing losses on the short
position. Furthermore, Portfolio Managers may prematurely be forced to close out a
short position if a lender demands the return of the asset borrowed (and sold short) and an
alternative source of borrowing that asset is not available. Certain market regulators have
imposed restrictions or bans on the ability for market participants to take short positions
and the frequency with which such restrictions are imposed has increased in recent years.
Among other things, such restrictions make hedging practices more difficult and expose
the Fund to greater risk.
Portfolio Thrnover
Portfolio Managers frequently invest on the basis of short-term market
considerations. The turnover rate of the Portfolio Managers' positions may therefore be
significant, potentially involving substantial brokerage commissions and fees.
Loan Participations
The Fund or certain of its affiliates may buy and sell loan participations (i.e.,
interests in a loan, generally governed by a credit agreement between the original lending
syndicate and the borrower) in the secondary market. These investments involve certain
risks in addition to those associated with direct loans. A loan participant has no direct
contractual relationship with the borrower of the underlying loan. As a result, the
participant generally is dependent on the lender from which the participation is purchased
MAXWELL 11-27
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001390
EFTA00237036
to enforce its rights and obligations under the credit agreement in the event of a default,
and may not have the right to object to amendments to or modifications of the terms of
the credit agreement in which it participates. A participant in a syndicated loan generally
does not have voting rights, which are retained by the lender from which the participation
is purchased. In addition, a loan participant is subject to the credit risk of the lender from
which the participation is purchased as well as that of the borrower, since a loan
participant is dependent upon the lender from which the participation is purchased to
furnish to the participant its share of payments of principal and interest received on the
underlying loan. Participations in which the Fund invests generally are not secured
obligations of the lender from which they are acquired.
Distressed and High-Yield Securities
Portfolio Managers may invest in securities issued by, or other indebtedness of,
companies in weak and/or deteriorating financial condition, experiencing poor operating
results, needing substantial capital investment, having negative net worth, facing special
competitive or product obsolescence problems or involved in bankruptcy or
reorganization proceedings. Investments of this type are generally not exchange-traded
and, as a result, these instruments trade in the over-the-counter marketplace, which is less
transparent than the exchange-traded marketplace, and further, may involve substantial
financial and business risks, which are often heightened by an inability to obtain reliable
information about the issuers. The investments can result in significant or even total
losses. In addition, the markets for distressed and high-yield securities are frequently
illiquid.
The market prices of distressed and high-yield assets are subject to abrupt and
erratic market movements and above-average price volatility, and the spreads between
the bid and asked prices of such assets may be greater than those prevailing in other
markets. It may take a number of years before the market price of the assets reflects their
perceived intrinsic value, if they ever do. In liquidation (both in and out of bankruptcy)
and other forms of corporate reorganization, there exists the risk that the reorganization
either will be unsuccessful (for example, due to failure to obtain requisite approvals), will
be delayed (for example, until various liabilities, actual or contingent, have been
satisfied), or will result in a distribution of cash or a new asset the value of which will be
less than the carrying value of the asset in respect of which the distribution was made.
Distressed assets also may be adversely affected by laws relating to, among other things,
fraudulent transfers and other voidable transfers or payments and lender liability, as well
as bankruptcy and other judicial courts' power to disallow, reduce, subordinate or
disenfranchise particular claims.
High-yield instruments face ongoing uncertainties and exposure to adverse
business, financial or economic conditions which could lead to the issuer's inability to
meet timely interest and principal payments. The market values of certain of these lower-
rated and unrated debt instruments tend to reflect individual corporate developments to a
greater extent than do higher-rated instruments which react primarily to fluctuations in
the general level of interest rates, and tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions
than are higher-rated instruments. Companies that issue such instruments are often
-MAXWELL 11-28
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001391
EFTA00237037
highly leveraged and may not have available to them more traditional methods of
financing. It is possible that a major economic recession could disrupt severely the
market for such instruments and may have an adverse impact on the value of such
instruments. In addition, it is possible that any such economic downturn could adversely
affect the ability of the issuers of such instruments to repay principal and pay interest
thereon and increase the incidence of default of such instruments.
Diffirential Cash Flows on RelatedPositions
Certain of the Fund's strategies may involve taking positions that are subject to
unilateral margin in favor of the counterparty. These positions may be related to or
hedged with other positions margined on a bilateral mark-to-market basis, which may
require the Fund to supply margin on a position while a counterparty would not be
required to supply margin on the related position. Additionally, there may be
circumstances where the financing costs of related positions may become imbalanced
(e.g., where the financing rates of one of the positions is subject to more frequent
revision). Due to the cash flow imbalances between the assets, in certain market
scenarios, the Fund may be forced to close out the positions, perhaps at disadvantageous
prices, or may bear additional expenses in keeping positions open.
StructuredInvestment Products
Certain Portfolio Managers may invest in, or otherwise participate in a variety of
different structured investment products; for example, total return swaps, participating
notes, options, credit default swaps and collateralized debt obligations. These structured
products involve not only the risks of the underlying "reference asset," but also other
risks including, without limitation, acceleration of the financing embedded in the
structure, counterparty credit risk, and/or restrictions imposed on the management and
nature of the permissible reference assets and costs of creating the structured products.
Interest-Rate andForeign Exchange-Rate Risks
The prices of assets held by the Fund may be sensitive to interest-rate and foreign
exchange-rate fluctuations; such fluctuations could cause the U.S. dollar value of long
and short positions to move in unanticipated directions. To the extent that interest-rate
and foreign exchange-rate assumptions underpin the hedging of a particular position,
fluctuations in rates could invalidate those underlying assumptions and expose the Fund
to losses. The Fund is not obligated to hedge its exposure to interest-rate and foreign
exchange-rate risks, or any other risks.
Mortgage-backedSecurities (MRS) and Asset-backed Securities (ABS)
Some investment characteristics of MRS and ABS differ from traditional debt
securities. Among the major differences are that interest and principal payments are
made more frequently, usually monthly, and that the principal may be prepaid at any time
because the underlying mortgages or other assets generally may be prepaid at any time.
The frequency with which prepayments (including voluntary prepayments by the obligors
and liquidations due to defaults and foreclosures) occur on loans and other assets
MAXWELL 11-29
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001392
EFTA00237038
underlying MBS and ABS will be affected by a variety of factors including the prevailing
level of interest rates as well as economic, demographic, tax, social, legal and other
factors. Generally, mortgage obligors tend to prepay their mortgage loans when
prevailing mortgage rates fall below the interest rates on their mortgage loans. Although
ABS are generally less likely to experience substantial prepayments than are MBS,
certain of the factors that affect the rate of prepayments on NIBS also affect the rate of
prepayments on ABS. Particular investments may experience outright losses, as in the
case of an interest only security in an environment of accelerated actual or anticipated
prepayments. Particular investments will be affected by the credit quality of their
underlying loan and the creditworthiness of the borrower. Also, particular investments
may underperform relative to hedges that a Portfolio Manager may have constructed in
these investments, resulting in a loss.
Illiquid andRestricted Securities
Portfolio Managers may invest in illiquid over-the-counter securities, securities of
young, development-stage companies (whether publicly traded or issued in a private
placement) and financially troubled companies, non-publicly traded securities, NIBS,
ABS and securities traded on non-U.S. exchanges, and may make other investments that
are relatively illiquid or that subsequently become illiquid. In general, securities and
other investments are classified as illiquid because there are legally-imposed restrictions
on resale or liquidation, because the market for the particular security or the volume of
trading is so small as to effectively impose limits on the speed or price at which the
liquidation of a given position can be effected, or due to a combination of the foregoing
factors. Portfolio Managers may be unable to sell illiquid securities and investments at
the most opportune times or at prices approximating the value at which the Fund is
carrying the securities or investments.
Small Capitalization Companies
Portfolio Managers may invest in securities of small capitalization companies and
recently organized companies and may establish significant long or short positions in
such securities. While such securities may provide significant potential for appreciation,
the securities of certain companies, particularly smaller-capitalization companies, involve
higher risks in some respects than do investments in securities of larger companies.
Historically, such securities have been more volatile in price than those of larger
capitalized, more established companies. The securities of small capitalization and
recently organized companies typically pose greater investment risks because the issuers
may have limited product lines, distribution channels and financial and managerial
resources. In particular, small capitalization companies may be operating at a loss or
have significant period-to-period variations in operating results; may be engaged in a
rapidly changing business with products subject to substantial risk of obsolescence; may
require substantial additional capital to support their operations, to finance expansion or
to maintain their competitive position; and may have substantial borrowings or may
otherwise have a weak financial condition. In addition, these companies may face
intense competition, including competition from companies with greater financial
resources, more extensive development, manufacturing, marketing, and other capabilities,
ML281837-MAXWELL II-30
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001393
EFTA00237039
and a larger number of qualified managerial and technical personnel. Further, there is
often less publicly available information concerning such companies than for larger, more
established businesses. The equity securities of small capitalization companies may not
be traded in the volumes typical of larger capitalization companies. Consequently, the
Portfolio Managers or entities in which the Portfolio Managers invest may be required to
dispose of the securities or cover a short position over a longer (and potentially less
favorable) period of time than is required to dispose of or cover a position with respect to
the securities of larger, more established companies. Investments in small capitalization
companies may also be more difficult to value than other types of securities because of
the foregoing considerations as well as lower trading volumes. Investments in companies
with limited operating histories may be more speculative and may entail greater risk than
investments in companies with an established operating record. Additionally, transaction
costs for these types of investments are often higher than for those in larger capitalization
companies. In addition, due to thin trading in the securities of some small-capitalization
companies, an investment in those companies may be illiquid.
Hedging Transactions
The Fund utilizes financial instruments both for investment purposes and for risk
management purposes in order to: (i) protect against possible changes in the market
value of the Fund's investment portfolio resulting from fluctuations in the securities
markets and changes in interest rates; (ii) protect the Fund's unrealized gains in the value
of the Fund's investment portfolio; (iii) facilitate the sale of any such investments; (iv)
enhance or preserve returns, spreads or gains on any investment in the Fund's portfolio;
(v) hedge against a directional trade; (vi) hedge the interest rate or currency exchange rate
on any of the Fund's liabilities or assets; (vii) protect against any increase in the price of
any securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date; or (viii) satisfy any other
purpose that the Portfolio Manager deems appropriate.
Hedging against a decline in the value of a portfolio position does not eliminate
fluctuations in the values of portfolio positions or prevent losses, although hedging does
typically reduce the risk of loss. On the other hand, the hedging transactions also limit
the opportunity for gain if the value of a portfolio position should increase. Moreover, it
should be noted that (i) a Portfolio Manager may determine not to hedge against, or may
not anticipate, certain risks, (ii) the portfolio will always be exposed to certain risks that
cannot be hedged, and (iii) there is no guarantee that a hedge will be properly
implemented, will function in the manner anticipated or will not be adversely effected by
changes in the applicable law or regulation.
The success of the Fund's hedging transactions to a significant degree will be
subject to the ability of each Portfolio Manager correctly to assess the relationships
between groupings of securities within the Portfolio Manager's portfolio. In addition, the
degree of correlation between price movements of the instruments used in a hedging
strategy and price movements in the portfolio position being hedged may vary. Since the
characteristics of many securities change as markets change or time passes, the success of
any hedging strategy will also be subject to the ability to continually recalculate, readjust
and execute hedges in an efficient and timely manner. While the Fund may enter into
-MAXWELL II-3I
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001394
EFTA00237040
hedging transactions to seek to reduce risk, such transactions may result in a poorer
overall performance for the Fund than if it had not engaged in such hedging transactions.
For a variety of reasons, a Portfolio Manager may not seek to establish a perfect
correlation between the hedging instruments utilized and the portfolio holdings being
hedged. Such an imperfect correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving the intended
hedge or expose the Fund to risk of loss. The Fund will not be required to hedge any
particular risk in connection with a particular transaction or its portfolios generally.
Moreover, it should be noted that the portfolio will always be exposed to certain risks that
may not be hedged. The successful utilization of hedging and risk management
transactions requires skills complementary to those needed in the selection of the Fund's
portfolio holdings.
Currency hedging activities that the Fund engages in on behalf of any Feeder
Fund that issues non-U.S. denominated interests, as described under "Hedging Related to
Non-U.S. Dollar Denominated Sub-Classes," may require the use of a portion of the
Fund's assets for margin or settlement payments or other purposes. For example, the
Fund may from time to time be required to make margin, settlement or other payments,
including intra-month, in connection with the use of certain hedging instruments.
Counterparties to any currency hedging activities may demand payments on short notice,
including intraday. As a result, the Master Partnership may liquidate assets sooner than
it otherwise would have in order to have available cash to meet current or future margin
calls, settlement or other payments, or for other purposes. Moreover, due to volatility in
the currency markets and changing market circumstances, the Master Partnership may not
be able to accurately predict future margin requirements, which may result in holding
excess or insufficient cash and liquid securities for such purposes. Where the Master
Partnership does not have cash or assets available for such purposes, the Master
Partnership may be required to dispose of assets at disadvantageous prices or might fail to
comply with certain of its contractual obligations. Such failures could, without
limitation, include failing to meet margin calls or settlement or other payment
obligations. If the Fund were to default on any of its material contractual obligations, the
Fund would likely be materially adversely affected.
HedgingRelated to Non-US Dollar DenominatedSub-Classes.
One of the Feeder Funds, Millennium International Ltd., has issued a sub-class of
shares the functional currency of which is the Euro and another sub-class of shares the
functional currency of which is the Yen (collectively, the "Non-USD Shares"). The
Feeder Fund generally expects to seek to hedge the currency exposure of the Non-USD
Shares to minimize, to the extent reasonably practicable, fluctuations in the value of such
shares arising from fluctuations in the applicable exchange rate and expects to engage in
transactions, including the purchase and sale of spot and forward contracts, currency
options and currency futures contracts to manage U.S. dollar-foreign currency risks. The
expense and risk associated with such transactions is borne by the holders of the relevant
sub-classes of Non-USD Shares. There can be no assurance that the currency hedging
activities in connection with the Non-USD Shares will be effective. In addition, there can
be no assurance that the currency hedging activities will fully protect investors from a
decline in the value of the U.S. dollar against the foreign currency. There may be
MAXWELL 11-32
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001395
EFTA00237041
circumstances in which the Fund (or any other entity engaging in the hedging of the Non-
USD Shares) determines not to conduct any currency hedging activities in whole or in
part for a certain period of time, including, without limitation, when such entity
determines, in its sole discretion, without notice to shareholders of the Feeder Fund, that
currency hedging is not practicable or possible or may materially and adversely affect the
Fund or any of their direct or indirect investors. As a result, foreign currency exposure
could go fully or partially unhedged for that period of time. There can be no assurance
that the Fund (or any other entity engaging in the hedging of the Non-USD Shares) will
be able to hedge, or be successful in hedging, the currency risk referred to. As an
alternative to some or all of the hedging activities described above a Feeder Fund may
maintain part or all of the initial investment in the applicable currency, and may convert a
portion of amounts subsequently earned by the Master Partnership into such currency
and, directly or indirectly, may make that currency available to the Master Partnership for
business conducted in such currency by it in the ordinary course. See "Related Party
Transactions; Conflicts—Hedging Activities Related to Shares of Feeder Funds Not
Denominated in U.S. Dollars."
Trading in Commodities andDerivatives
A Portfolio Manager may utilize derivative instruments such as options, futures,
forward contracts, total return swaps, credit default swaps, and interest rate swaps, caps
and floors, both for investment purposes and to hedge against fluctuations in the relative
values of that Portfolio Manager's portfolio positions. These are instruments whose
values are based upon underlying assets, indices or reference rates or a combination of
these, and generally represent future commitments to exchange cash flows or to purchase
or sell other financial instruments (or make an equivalent cash payment) at specified
future dates. Certain derivatives (options and credit default swaps in particular) may
have intrinsic value separate from the value of underlying assets based upon market
perception of creditworthiness or expected volatility in the value of the asset. The use of
derivatives involves a variety of material risks, including the possibility of counterparty
non-performance as well as of deviations between the actual and theoretical value of the
derivatives. Derivatives also are inherently subject to two sources of risk: risk of loss
due to adverse changes in the value of the underlying asset and risk of loss due to the
insolvency or creditworthiness of the counterparty. In addition, the markets for certain
derivatives may be illiquid.
Derivatives are typically intrinsically leveraged investments that may entail
investment exposures that are greater than the initial amount of collateral required to
enter into the derivative, meaning that an investment in a derivative could ultimately
incur losses many times greater than the initial collateral requirements and could
therefore have a disproportionate effect on the performance of the Fund. The Fund could
also experience losses if the derivatives that are acquired or sold as a hedge are poorly
correlated with the investment to be hedged, or if a Portfolio Manager is unable to
liquidate a position because of an illiquid secondary market. Changes in liquidity may
result in significant, rapid and unpredictable changes in the prices for derivatives.
MAXWELL 11-33
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001396
EFTA00237042
The Portfolio Managers may trade commodities, futures and options, and may
enter into swap agreements. The prices of commodities contracts and all derivative
instruments, including futures and options, may depend upon a number of factors,
including the prices of the underlying assets and may be highly volatile. Price
movements of commodities, futures and options contracts and payments pursuant to swap
agreements are influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changing supply and
demand relationships, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies
of governments, and national and international political and economic events and
policies. In addition, the Fund is subject to the risk of failure of any of the exchanges on
which they trade, their clearinghouses or the clearing brokers through which their trades
clear. In the case of commodity contracts traded on non-U.S. exchanges and certain
derivative instruments, the Fund may be subject to the risk of the inability of, or refusal
by, the counterparty to perform. In addition, profits realized in non-U.S. markets could
be eliminated by adverse changes in the applicable currency exchange-rate, or the Fund
could incur losses as a result of those changes.
Leverage; Interest Rates; Margin
The Fund typically borrows funds (and could potentially issue debt securities),
and leverages its investment portfolio in order to be able to increase the amount of capital
available to make investments and for use as collateral in connection with investments in
derivatives. In addition, there is a significant degree of leverage typically embedded in
certain derivative instruments and certain repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions
in the Fund's investment portfolio. Consequently, the level of interest rates, generally,
and the rates at which the Fund can borrow, in particular, will affect its operating results.
Although leverage will increase investment return if a given Portfolio Manager earns a
greater return on the investments purchased with borrowed funds than it pays for the use
of those funds, the use of leverage will decrease the return of the Fund if the Portfolio
Manager fails to earn as much on investments utilizing borrowed funds as it pays for the
use of those funds. The use of leverage will in this way magnify the volatility of changes
in the value of an interest in the Fund. In the event of a sudden, precipitous drop in value
of the Fund's assets, the providers of leverage to the Fund may be entitled under their
agreements with the Fund to liquidate the assets at then-prevailing levels, which would be
depressed. There can be no certainty that the assets of the Fund would be sufficient to
repay all of its debts under those or similar circumstances. (See "The Fund's Investment
Program and Description: Leverage and Loans.")
Certain Regulatory Risks
Regulatory Changesfor Hedge Funds
The financial services industry generally, and the activities of hedge funds and
their managers in particular, have been subject to intense and increasing regulatory
scrutiny. Such scrutiny may increase the Fund's exposure to potential liabilities and to
legal, compliance and other related costs. Increased regulatory oversight may also
impose additional administrative burdens on Millennium, including, without limitation,
responding to examinations and investigations, implementing new policies and
MAXWELL 11-34
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001397
EFTA00237043
procedures and complying with recordkeeping and reporting obligations. Such burdens
may divert Millennium's time, attention and resources from portfolio management
activities. For example, in July 2011, Congress passed, and the President signed into law,
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. This statute mandates
fundamental changes, which in many instances remain subject to the adoption of relevant
regulations, in the manner in which derivatives and certain other instruments are traded,
and also mandates a number of new and extensive filing requirements that will affect
Millennium and the Fund. At the present time, there is insufficient knowledge to predict
the full nature and extent of the effects of this legislation and the related regulations, but
the effects will be extensive and varied. At the very least, the costs of compliance with
legal restrictions affecting the Fund's trading will be significantly increased.
Misconduct ofEmployees andof Third-Party Service Providers
Millennium's reputation is critical to maintaining and developing relationships
with prospective investors, as well as with the numerous third parties with which
Millennium and the Fund do business and with a variety of regulatory authorities. In
recent years, there have been a number of highly publicized cases involving fraud,
conflicts of interest or other misconduct by individuals in the financial services industry,
and there is a risk that an employee of or contractor to Millennium, the Fund or their
affiliates could engage in misconduct that adversely affects the investment strategies
implemented by the Fund. It is not always possible to deter such misconduct, and the
precautions Millennium takes to detect and prevent such misconduct may not be effective
in all cases. Misconduct by an employee of or contractor to Millennium, the Fund or
their affiliates, or even unsubstantiated allegations of such misconduct, could result in
both direct financial harm to Millennium or the Fund, as well as harm Millennium's or
the Fund's reputations, which would have a materially adverse effect on the Fund
primarily as a result of the withdrawal of assets from the Feeder Funds or increased
resistance of investors to make new investments.
Regulation Under the Laws ofthe Cayman Islands
Pursuant to recent amendments to the Mutual Funds Law (as amended) of the
Cayman Islands, certain "master funds" (as defined in the Mutual Funds Law) are to be
registered with, and regulated by, the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority. The Master
Partnership has submitted an application for registration pursuant to the Mutual Funds
Law. The registration process and the consequences of regulation are described below
under "Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters Relating to the Fund—Cayman Islands
Mutual Funds Law."
Regulatory Actions
From time to time, in the ordinary course of operations, certain of the Fund's
businesses are subject to regulatory inquiries, investigations and enforcement proceedings
from U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies, regulatory bodies and securities
commissions, which can be costly and occupy significant staff time and resources. Any
such inquiry, investigation or enforcement proceeding could include civil or criminal
SAXWELL II-35
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001398
EFTA00237044
proceedings resulting in a censure, fine, penalty and/or other sanction, including asset
freezes, injunctive or equivalent relief, or the suspension or expulsion of an individual.
Any such inquiry, investigation or enforcement proceeding could have a material adverse
impact on the Fund.
Securities Law Compliance Risks
The domestic and foreign laws and regulations governing trading in the securities
markets (and governing investing in other kinds of markets) are often complex and
difficult to implement and monitor (and may be even more difficult to implement and
monitor in light of the speed with which certain regulatory changes have been
implemented in certain jurisdictions), especially in the context of a fund structured like
the Fund, and are subject to re-interpretation (or different interpretations from those
applied by the Fund in light of information currently available to Millennium), which
could expose the Fund, Millennium and their respective affiliates to liability.
Investments in ForeignMarkets andJurisdictions
The Fund invests its capital in large, liquid, and internationalized markets (such
as, among others, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan) as well as lesser-
developed emerging markets. The evolving laws and regulations applicable to the
securities and financial services industries of certain countries subject such markets to
uncertainty. By investing in such markets, the Fund risks misinterpreting or possibly
violating the local laws or the securities regulations of these jurisdictions and is subject
to, among other risks (certain of which are also present in developed markets): (i)
currency exchange-rate risk; (ii) inefficient clearing systems; (iii) the possible imposition
of withholding, income or excise taxes; (iv) the absence of uniform accounting, auditing
and financial reporting standards and practices, less rigorous disclosure requirements and
little or potentially biased government supervision and regulation; (v) the risk of
terrorism and acts of war; and (vi) economic and political risks, including expropriation,
exchange controls and restrictions on foreign investment and repatriation of capital.
Emerging markets may also be more vulnerable to periods of illiquidity and extreme
volatility than the more developed markets. In addition, when periods of stress occur in
the developed financial markets, the emerging markets as a group may suffer major price
declines and illiquidity.
Membership on Exchanges and/or in Clearing or Self-Regulatory Organizations
In an effort to facilitate certain investment strategies, the Fund and certain of its
subsidiaries and affiliates have become, and/or may become, members of exchanges,
clearing houses and other self-regulatory organizations and have obtained or will obtain a
variety of governmental licenses or authorizations. Such memberships, licenses or
authorizations subject these persons to a wide range of regulation and other obligations,
including net capital requirements, as well as to audits and other restrictions—in each
case, together with the associated costs.
-MAXWELL 11-36
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001399
EFTA00237045
Risk of Loss
The performance of the Fund and the Feeder Funds can be highly volatile. The
Fund may lose capital through (i) investment losses, (ii) withdrawals of capital by the
Feeder Funds to fund their expenses or in connection with equity withdrawals and
redemptions by their investors or (iii) a combination of investment losses and such
withdrawals of capital. Investment losses may give rise to requests for equity
withdrawals and redemptions, but withdrawals and redemptions may occur irrespective
of performance, and perhaps for reasons wholly unrelated to the Fund or the Feeder
Funds.

MAXWELL 11-41

EFTA00237050
The Fund's Investment Program and Description: Eligible Investments
Millennium, in managing the Fund's assets, follows an investment strategy that is
opportunistic with respect to investments and strategies and that is broadly diversified
and global in scope. Consistent with this approach (and unlike many investment
partnerships that as a matter of investment policy require that no more than a fixed
percentage of their assets are invested in any one industry or group of industries),
Millennium does not establish fixed guidelines regarding diversification of investments to
be followed by the Fund. At any given time, the Fund's assets could be concentrated in
securities or asset classes that the Portfolio Managers believe offer an optimal
opportunity for capital appreciation (subject to the oversight of Millennium's Risk
Management Group). However, by virtue of Millennium's structure, in which assets are
allocated among a number of Portfolio Managers utilizing different strategies and
investment approaches, as well as Millennium's general risk management principles,
which discourage concentrations, the Fund's assets will usually be employed among a
diversified set of strategies.
The Fund is authorized directly or indirectly, to invest in all types of securities
and instruments of United States and non-U.S. issuers and to participate in other
potentially profitable opportunities, including without limitation the short selling of
securities. Examples of securities traded and other investments made by the Fund
include, but are not limited to capital stock; shares of beneficial interest; partnership
interests and similar financial instruments; mortgage-backed securities; interests in real
estate and real estate related assets; bonds, notes, debentures (whether subordinated,
convertible, secured, unsecured or otherwise); currencies; commodities; interest rate,
currency, commodity, equity and other derivative products, including, without limitation,
(i) futures contracts (and options thereon) relating to stock indices, currencies, United
States government securities and securities of non-U.S. governments, other financial
instruments and all other commodities, (ii) swaps, options, contracts for difference,
warrants, caps, collars, floors and forward rate agreements, (iii) spot and forward
currency transactions and (iv) agreements relating to or securing such transactions;
equipment lease certificates; equipment trust certificates; loans, loan participations, and
other obligations and instruments or evidences of indebtedness of whatever kind or
nature; accounts and notes receivable and payable held by trade or other creditors; trade
acceptances; contract and other claims; executory contracts; participations and sub-
participations; assignments of rights under financial and derivative contracts; viatical
settlements; insurance policies; pollution credits; money market funds; obligations of the
United States or any state thereof, non-U.S. governments and instrumentalities of any of
them; commercial paper; certificates of deposit; bankers' acceptances; trust receipts; and
annuities, structured settlements and similar payment rights. However, there are no limits
on the types of investments the Fund may make.
The Portfolio Managers, when they consider it appropriate and consistent with
applicable regulations and firm policies, may utilize repurchase and reverse repurchase
agreements, short sales, and leverage in their investment programs.

The Fund's Investment Program and Description:
Investment Strategies and Techniques
The Fund pursues an opportunistic investment policy. Millennium does not
establish fixed guidelines regarding diversification of strategies. The strategies that the
Fund may employ could be concentrated in strategies that Millennium or Portfolio
Managers believe offer the optimal opportunity for capital appreciation.
There are no material restrictions on the particular types of investing or on the
particular markets in which the Fund may invest. Millennium reviews and evaluates the
trading strategies in which the Fund's assets are invested, as well as new potential
strategies and investments.
THERE ARE NO SUBSTANTIVE LIMITS ON THE INVESTMENT
STRATEGIES THAT MAY BE PURSUED BY THE FUND OR ON THE
PARTICULAR MARKETS IN WHICH IT MAY INVEST. THERE CAN BE NO
ASSURANCE THAT THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE OF THE FUND WILL
BE ACHIEVED. THE PRACTICES OF SHORT SELLING, LEVERAGE AND
LIMITED DIVERSIFICATION MIGHT, IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES,
EXACERBATE ADVERSE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND'S PORTFOLIO.
(See "Certain Risk Factors Relating to an Investment in the Fund").
Investment Strategies
As discussed above, the Fund invests opportunistically and the universe of
eligible investments is not materially limited by any firm policies. However, the
investment strategies that the Fund employs may be expected to include, among others,
some or all of the following strategies. The Fund may concentrate in a select few
strategies while not employing others and may employ additional investment strategies or
suspend any such strategies, as determined by Millennium in its discretion, at any time
without notice.
Relative Value and Fundamental Equity Strategies. Portfolio Managers
employing a relative value strategy perform detailed fundamental research on companies,
usually within a particular industry group (e.g., financial services) or subgroup (e.g.,
securities brokers). These Portfolio Managers make use of research, company visits,
industry conferences, and their own expert knowledge in making investment decisions.
Fundamental change at these companies drives changes in investor perception, which
impacts the valuation of their securities. The Portfolio Manager attempts to: spot
changes in fundamentals; identify where comparable companies are mispriced in relation
to each other and buy the undervalued companies and short sell the overvalued ones,
hoping to capture the excess return as a perceived mispricing narrows, while minimizing
overall net market risk. The Portfolio Manager may also hedge its investment with a
contra-investment in a correlated index or sector rather than a comparable company.
Statistical Arbitrage and Quantitative Strategies. U.S. and non-U.S. statistical
arbitrage and quantitative strategies generally are quantitatively driven and are employed
across the global equity, interest rate, foreign exchange and currency markets. The
I= -MAXWELL II-43
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001406
EFTA00237052
strategies attempt to identify over/under-valued securities. Generally, investments are in
more liquid securities and often focus on geographical regions, industry sectors or
securities with similar trading characteristics.
To help identify securities and outline market and non-market risks, Portfolio
Managers have built proprietary models that consider historical, as well as forward-
looking factors. Qualitative analysis of current business information may also be
employed to determine value, potential return, and relevant risk factors. Models and
tools are monitored and updated as paradigm shifts occur in the markets. The various
statistical arbitrage strategies tend to have had low correlation with overall market
performance. In addition, Portfolio Managers seek to mitigate market risk through
diversification, hedging and by limiting exposure to any one asset class, industry or
company. Non-U.S. investments are currently focused on developed areas of Asia and
Europe to maintain liquidity and consistent information reporting.
Statistical arbitrage strategies are dependent on technology, and the Fund has
invested significantly in and developed a state-of-the-art infrastructure to support this
trading activity. This infrastructure allows the Fund to trade electronically on a number
of exchanges on a global basis. The ongoing migration of the world's trading markets to
electronic exchanges continues to create opportunities for Portfolio Managers utilizing
statistical trading strategies. The turnover of these strategies can be high and marked by
very short holding periods and, as a result, profitability is often highly dependent on
minimizing transaction costs. In recent regulatory pronouncements the SEC has
indicated that it is studying the factors affecting, and affected by, "High Frequency
Trading" with a view to determining whether additional, or different, regulatory measures
are appropriate. Some of the Portfolio Manager's statistical arbitrage strategies may be
designated as "High Frequency Trading."
Additional quantitative strategies include index arbitrage and "delta-one" trading.
These strategies seek to capitalize on transient value differentials between baskets of
stocks and single instrument index-based securities or futures referencing those baskets.
In addition, these strategies can trade mispricing in the forward price curves of indices
based on supply/demand imbalances, pricing in the stock borrow/loan market, and market
fluctuations in expectations of dividend streams and interest rates. Strategies that seek to
profit from mispricing between cash baskets underlying futures and/or ETFs are
significantly dependent on low-latency market data and trading infrastructure. Strategies
that trade index forward curves depend on Portfolio Managers' insights into aberrant
relationships across futures and forwards expiry dates and implied forwards in options
markets. The success of index arbitrage and delta-one strategies is often predicated on
achieving optimal financing arrangements for the portfolios held.
Fixed-Income Strategies. The Portfolio Managers employ a number of fixed-
income strategies, including the following:
• Fixed—Income Arbitrage. Fixed-income arbitrage is a strategy that seeks
to profit from inefficient pricing of related fixed-income securities.
Leverage may be employed to maximize the return from the specific
MAXWELL 11-44
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001407
EFTA00237053
strategy. The securities to which a Portfolio Manager will apply this
strategy typically trade at a perceived discount or premium to instruments
that are otherwise similar in maturity, yield and creditworthiness. Fixed-
income arbitrage trading is performed using sovereign debt, agency debt,
corporate debt, asset backed securities and related futures contracts, as
well as over-the-counter swaps, credit default swaps and other derivatives
on these instruments. The strategy typically involves buying these fixed-
income instruments and using various hedges (including derivatives) to
reduce interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk and call and redemption
risk along with other risks related to fixed—income instruments. The
evaluation and trading process can be complicated, highly technical, and
heavily dependent on computer processing power. A Portfolio Manager
utilizing a fixed-income arbitrage strategy may attempt to capture changes
in the shape of the yield curve of a given country's debt (the difference in
yield between different maturities of an issuer) or the relationship spreads
between the fixed-income securities of two different countries (e.g., yield
curves on five-year German bonds versus five-year U.S. Treasury notes).
• Swap Strategies. Strategies that focus in whole or in part on swap
transactions involve the use of bilateral contracts under a master swap or
netting agreement. Swap agreements allow parties to assume exposure to
risks in ways that generally are not available in existing securities. Often-
used swap instruments include interest rate swaps and credit default
swaps. In the classic interest rate swap, two counterparties will enter into
an agreement to exchange, or "swap," two or more interest rate payment
obligations, generally with one side holding a fixed rate obligation and the
other holding a floating rate obligation.
Credit default swaps involve the buying or selling of "protection" with
respect to a referenced debt obligation or basket of obligations. The party
that "sells the protection" will incur a payment obligation to the
counterparty if there is a default under the referenced obligation. The
party that "buys the protection" has a periodic payment obligation unless
and until such a default occurs or the swap terminates or expires. Credit
default swaps can be entered into as a distinct asset class (i.e., as a means
of synthetically "going long" or "going short" the referenced debt
obligation or basket of obligations), or as a hedge to a position in the
referenced debt obligation. See "Risk Factors—Certain Risks Relating to
Aggressive Trading and Financing Strategies."
• Credit Strategies. The Fund may be involved in various strategies that
involve being long and short different corporate and asset backed
securities and derivatives, including loan participations and allocations
(i.e., interests in a loan, generally governed by a credit agreement between
the original lending syndicate and the borrower) in the secondary market.
The credits involved will range from high grade to high yield and
distressed debt.
=MAXWELL II-45
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001408
EFTA00237054
• Mortgage-backed Securities. The Fund may invest in MBS and associated
derivatives. MBS are securities that represent an interest in, or are secured
by, mortgage loans secured by residential or commercial properties. MBS
have been issued in public and private transactions by a variety of public
and private issuers using a variety of structures. MBS may pay fixed or
floating rates of interest. MBS are generally structured as pass-through
certificates, representing an undivided ownership interest in a pool of
mortgage loans, or as debt obligations secured by mortgage loans. MBS
issued by a given issuer typically are divided into multiple classes.
Certain classes are subordinate to the senior classes with respect to both
the timing of payment of principal and/or interest and the allocation of
losses on the underlying mortgage loans. Other characteristics of MBS
will vary with the characteristics of the underlying mortgage loans.
• Foreign Exchange Strategies. The Fund may invest in foreign exchange
contracts, futures and associated derivatives. Portfolio Managers utilizing
foreign exchange strategies may attempt to capture relative valuation of
different currencies, or benefit from the price movement of various
currencies.
Merger Arbitrage and Event-Driven Strategies. Merger arbitrage and event-
driven investment strategies (also called risk arbitrage) are generally based on
announcements of mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, liquidations, spin-offs and other
corporate reorganizations and restructurings. A Portfolio Manager employing such a
strategy will gain exposure to the stock of the company or companies involved in the
anticipated reorganization or restructuring, depending upon the transactions and details,
such as by purchasing the stock of a target company and selling short the stock of an
acquiring company, or will employ derivative instruments to achieve a similar economic
result. The value of such an investment is driven by the ability to correctly estimate the
spread between the security's then-current price and its value at the transaction's
completion, and to gauge the likelihood and timing of completion of the transaction.
Success requires in-depth knowledge of relevant corporate processes, as well as legal and
financial requirements. In some cases, this strategy may be combined with an activist
strategy.
Commodities Trading Strategies. In these strategies, Portfolio Managers actively
trade relative value and cross commodity spreads in energy, metals and agricultural
markets. These strategies are focused on opportunities that arise due to the rapidly
changing fundamentals that drive the term structure of the commodity futures curves.
These strategies may employ futures, swaps, options and other commodity derivatives
and may also take a directional position.
Distressed Strategies. Distressed strategies involve purchases and sales of debt
and quasi-debt securities and obligations of companies with what the market perceives to
be a declining creditworthiness. Portfolio Managers engaging in this strategy will often
purchase obligations of declining or low-credit quality borrowers at a discount, with the
hope or expectation that the company will either improve its performance without the
MAXWELL II-46
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001409
EFTA00237055
need to enter into bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, or that the company will seek
the protection of bankruptcy and insolvency laws and that its previously outstanding debt
obligations will be converted into obligations of or equity in a healthier, restructured
company.
Closed-End Fund/Asset Arbitrage Strategies. This strategy involves identifying
discounted or high premium closed-end funds, companies with shares priced below net
asset value, or mispriced parent-subsidiary situations. This strategy can be combined
with short sales and derivative positions to create a hedge, or with an activist strategy
designed to cause the management to take actions that would cause the closed end fund's
stock price to converge with its portfolio's net asset value.
Convertible Arbitrage Strategies. Convertible arbitrage strategists identify
convertible bonds, convertible preferred stocks and/or warrants that appear mispriced to
fair value, or in relation to the underlying security, and offer a favorable rate of return.
By establishing a long position in a convertible security (usually preferred stock or
bonds) and a partially offsetting short position in the underlying security into which the
convertible security is convertible (usually common stock of the issuer), a Portfolio
Manager invests with the expectation of capturing value by way of one or more themes
including price or yield differences, attractive absolute cash flow (e.g., coupon income
and stock borrowed rebate), cheap long volatility exposure, and attractive security
adjustment features due to expected corporate events. Other financial instruments such
as futures, options and credit default swaps may be used to hedge individual security
and/or portfolio exposure.
Options Trading Strategies. Options arbitrage (also known as option-volatility
trading) is a derivatives-based strategy that seeks to profit from market turbulence (or the
lack thereof), as reflected in movements in option prices that result from market
fluctuations. The goal of a Portfolio Manager employing this strategy is to buy
inexpensively priced (i.e., cheap implied volatility) options whose underlying instruments
are historically more volatile, and sell expensively priced (i.e., rich implied volatility)
options whose underlying instruments are historically less volatile. The strategy may be
implemented through options on equities and equity indices. Such option combinations
include spreads (buying an option to buy or sell an asset while simultaneously selling an
option to buy or sell the same asset with a different expiration date or strike price) or
straddles (option combinations that will profit from movement in the level of the value of
an asset outside of certain bands, or the lack of such movement, without regard to
whether the movement is upward or downward). Option-volatility trading may also
involve trades in which futures (or other derivatives) are used to create a position that
synthetically resembles an option or option combination, or in which options are
purchased or sold versus an offsetting position in the underlying market (such as a basket
of stocks). The decision process is dependent on fundamental and technical analysis of
the underlying instruments. Computer models are often used to enhance the execution of
various hedges.

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001410
EFTA00237056
Direct Investing and SeedInvesting
The Fund may invest directly in financial instruments (as opposed to through
Portfolio Managers) utilizing any of the strategies described herein, or utilizing other
strategies as deemed appropriate by Millennium. The Fund may provide seed capital or
early stage capital, as well as negotiated capital, to one or more new or established
Portfolio Managers. Millennium may seek to enhance the return the Fund receives from
such investments through various contractual arrangements that provide the Fund with
reduced fee arrangements or an interest in the asset-based and performance-based
compensation generated from other sources by the applicable Portfolio Managers.
Millennium may negotiate any other appropriate return-enhancing or other arrangements
in its sole discretion.
Strategy Development
There are no substantive limits on the investment strategies that may be pursued
by the Fund. The Fund's capital may be invested in strategies other than those listed
above, and in strategies that may differ from those described above. In addition, as noted
above, the Managing Member employs an opportunistic investment strategy in allocating
the Fund's capital with an emphasis on consistency of returns rather than consistency of
strategies, so the amount of capital invested in each strategy generally will vary and new
trading and investment strategies which are different from (or are not included in) those
described above may (a) receive allocations of the Fund's capital or (b) receive increased
allocations of the Fund's capital.
Hedging
The Fund typically employs various hedging techniques to reduce certain actual
or potential risks to which the Fund's portfolio may be exposed. These hedging
techniques may involve the use of derivative instruments, including swaps, futures and
forward contracts, exchange-listed and over-the-counter put and call options, currency
contracts, and interest rate transactions. Millennium may employ these hedging
techniques directly or by investing a portion of the Fund's assets with a Portfolio
Manager that engages in such hedging techniques. The Fund is not required to employ
any such hedging techniques and, in the discretion of Millennium, may refrain from
doing so at any time or with respect to any positions. Even when such techniques are
employed, they seldom hedge the risks of positions entirely, and in some circumstances
losses may be incurred on both the underlying position and the hedge position
simultaneously.
The Fund also engages in currency hedging on behalf of Millennium International
to hedge the currency exposure of certain classes of Millennium International that are
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Such currency hedging activities
seek to minimize, to the extent reasonably practicable, fluctuations in the value of the
non-U.S. dollar denominated shares arising from fluctuations in the exchange rate and
may involve transactions including the purchase and sale of spot and forward contracts,
currency options and currency futures contracts to manage currency risks. The net results
-MAXWELL 11-48
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001411
EFTA00237057
of such currency hedging will be borne by the holders of the applicable non-U.S. dollar
denominated shares.
THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
OF THE FUND WILL BE ACHIEVED. THE PRACTICES OF SHORT SELLING,
LEVERAGE AND LIMITED DIVERSIFICATION MIGHT, IN CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES, EXACERBATE ADVERSE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND'S
PORTFOLIO.
The Fund's Investment Program and Description: Brokerage
In selecting brokers and dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the
Fund, Millennium and its Portfolio Managers will consider such factors as they deem
appropriate under the circumstances, which may include one or more of the following:
the ability to obtain timely execution and deliver timely execution reports; the
responsiveness to the Fund's orders; the reliability, reputation, integrity, and financial
condition of the broker-dealer; the size and volume of the broker's order flow; the ability
to handle difficult trades, including block trades; the ability to find liquidity in the market
while also minimizing market impact; research and other services provided to the Fund
that are expected to enhance the Fund's general portfolio management capabilities; the
accommodation of special needs, including the broker's willingness to enter into
commission sharing arrangements/give-up agreements; and commission rates, fees or
market maker's commission equivalent (i.e., mark-downs and mark-ups). Millennium
does not have an obligation to obtain the lowest available commission cost. Accordingly,
if Millennium determines that the commissions charged by a broker or the prices charged
by a dealer are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research products
or services provided by such broker or dealer, the Fund may pay commissions to such
broker or prices to such dealer in an amount greater than another might charge.
Millennium has complete discretion in deciding what brokers and dealers the Fund will
use and in negotiating the rates of compensation the Fund will pay. In many instances
that discretion is delegated to Portfolio Managers who make specific trading decisions.
From time to time, Millennium's personnel may be introduced to potential
investors interested in investing in private funds, such as the Feeder Funds. Through
such "capital introduction" events, some of which are sponsored by the Fund's prime
brokers, such prospective investors have the opportunity to meet with Millennium.
Millennium does not directly compensate any prime broker for organizing such events or
for investments in the Feeder Funds ultimately made by prospective investors attending
such events. In addition, the Fund's prime brokers may provide Millennium with other
services. Such capital introduction events and other services may influence Millennium
to some extent in selecting prime brokers and determining the extent to which a prime
broker will be used.
With respect to "soft dollar" arrangements, the conflicts that typically give
rise to concerns underlying the use of soft dollars do not generally exist for Millennium,
because the Fund (and not the General Partner) bears all of the expenses related to its
own operation. Therefore, the use of soft dollars by Millennium does not result in any
-MAXWELL 11-49
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001412
EFTA00237058
expense shifting between the General Partner, on the one hand, and the Fund (and,
indirectly, investors in the Feeder Funds), on the other hand. However, Millennium's
financial statements will be affected by such soft dollar arrangements, as noted below.
Millennium has adopted a policy to the effect that the use of soft dollars
will be limited to payment for research and brokerage products and services that
Millennium believes meet the requirements of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 ("Section 28(e)"), and the SEC interpretations thereof, in jurisdictions and
transactions where Section 28(e) applies. Although the activities of affiliated non-U.S.
management companies are potentially outside the scope of Section 28(e), the policy also
requires that the general requirements of Section 28(e) be satisfied by such management
companies in addition to any local requirements applicable to a particular management
company.
Millennium generates soft dollars with commissions on securities
transactions, and, in accordance with SEC interpretations, with markups, markdowns,
commission equivalents or other fees paid to a dealer for executing a transaction. In
addition, to the extent consistent with applicable regulatory requirements, soft dollars
may be generated through futures transactions, certain principal transactions, non-U.S.
transactions, or other transactions where it is lawful and not inconsistent with Section
28(e).
Research products or services provided to the Fund may include research
reports on particular industries and companies, economic surveys and analyses,
recommendations as to specific securities, and relevant market data, as well as other
products and services that provide assistance to Millennium or the Portfolio Managers in
the performance of their investment and trading decision-making responsibilities.
Brokerage products or services provided to Millennium may include message services
used to transmit orders to brokers for execution, trading software used to route orders to
market centers, and software used to transmit orders to direct market access systems and
short-term custody. Where a product or service obtained with soft dollars provides both
research or brokerage and non-research or non-brokerage assistance (i.e., a "mixed use"
item), Millennium will make a reasonable allocation of the cost which may be paid for
with commission dollars.
Investors should note that a consequence of the use of soft dollar
arrangements is that, under GAAP, soft dollar items that would have otherwise be
characterized as expenses in the consolidated financial statements of the Master
Partnership will instead be subsumed within commissions. As a result, line-item
expenses will appear smaller than they would have had soft dollars not been utilized. It is
possible that some expenses paid through the utilization of soft dollar arrangements might
be greater than if Millennium or the Fund had purchased the research or brokerage
services in question directly or had produced them internally.
The Fund has arrangements with a number of brokers and clears certain of
the Fund's transactions for securities, equities, bonds, options and futures through a
number of brokerage firrns; however, the Fund (or an affiliate) may, but is not required
MAXWELL 11-50
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001413
EFTA00237059
to, clear its own trades (and Millennium may execute transactions through one broker and
clear transactions through another broker). Brokers may also act as custodians for the
Fund's securities. To the extent that securities are purchased in non-U.S. markets, non-
U.S. brokers may be used and may maintain custody of the securities until such time as
they are sold.
Given the Fund's investment program, short-term market considerations
are frequently involved. Turnover of portions of the Fund's portfolio, and, therefore
brokerage commissions, will be substantially greater than the turnover rates of some
other types of investment vehicles.
The Fund's Investment Program and Description: Leverage and Loans
The Fund's investment portfolio is ordinarily leveraged in order to increase the
amount investments that may be made with invested capital on hand.
Derivative Instruments andLeverage
Millennium causes the Fund to leverage its investment return with borrowings.
The Fund also trades in a variety of options, contracts for difference, portfolio swaps,
commodity futures contracts, short sales, swaps, repurchase agreements, forwards and
other derivative instruments, most of which have embedded leverage in that the
derivative instrument will fluctuate in value in relation to the underlying instruments but
such changes will have a greater impact on the market value of the derivative
instruments. Certain over-the-counter securities and derivatives require no margin to be
deposited. In addition, in some cases, variation margin is not bilateral (e.g., the Fund
might, in a leveraged transaction, be required to pay variation margin to one party but
might not be entitled to receive variation margin from the other party). The amount of
borrowings which the Fund may have outstanding at any time may be large in relation to
its capital.
Leverage ofSpecific Investments
From time to time, the Fund may have the opportunity to achieve leverage from
sources other than its prime brokers. For example, in some cases a third-party financial
institution may agree to leverage a specific investment in an outside fund, in which case
the lender will take a security interest in the investment and may also take nominal title to
the investment. A variation of this kind of financing is for a third-party financial
institution to take a position in an outside fund or investment, and to enter into a
leveraged total return swap or purchase option with the Fund.
AdditionalLeverage Opportunities
As the number of financial products that relate to investment in investment funds
increases, Millennium will continually evaluate new sources of financing and leverage.

The Fund's Risk Management Program
Millennium maintains an investment risk assessment and management program
designed to identify, measure, monitor, manage and report on the market risks of the
portfolios of the Fund. Automated and manual risk monitoring is performed at a firm-
wide level and at a Portfolio Manager level, and various other monitoring may be
performed as well. The investment risk assessment and management program is
coordinated through Millennium's investment risk management personnel, subject to the
oversight of the Chief Risk Officer.
The Master Partnership's Fees and Expenses
All of the Master Partnership's fees and expenses are assessed against the
interests of the partners of the Master Partnership and, in turn, against the interests of
investors in the Feeder Funds. "Investment expenses" include all expenses that
Millennium reasonably determines to be directly or indirectly related to the Fund's
investment activities, including, without limitation, brokerage commissions and interest
expense, internal and external accounting expenses, audit and tax (including withholding
tax) expenses, compensation expenses (including management or "base" fees and
incentive compensation charged by Portfolio Managers or third party funds), legal
expenses, administrator, registrar and transfer agent fees and expenses, expenses related
to computers, other equipment and technology, expenses related to maintaining offices,
including leases and fixtures, premiums for general partner liability insurance and risk-
specific insurance and "key-man" life insurance on certain personnel (including Mr.
Englander, the managing member of the General Partner), and other administrative and
operating expenses.
Expenses that are allocable to the Feeder Funds generally are borne pro rata by
the Feeder Funds, but a particular expense may be allocated differently if Millennium
determines that it would be fair and reasonable to do so. The expenses of the Feeder
Funds are passed through to their investors.
As described in greater detail in Part One of this Confidential Memorandum for
the applicable Feeder Fund, certain expenses incurred in connection with the provision of
investment management, administrative or other services by Millennium to the Fund and
other funds, accounts or third parties or otherwise in connection with the activities of
Millennium, including recipients of such services that pay a management fee, will be
allocated among the Fund and such other recipients of the services or the other applicable
parties that receive the benefit of such services.
Related-Party Transactions; Conflicts
Conflicts of interest among the Fund (and investors in the Feeder Funds),
Millennium and Millennium's principals may and do exist, which conflicts include, but
are not limited to, those described herein.
-MAXWELL 11-52
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001415
EFTA00237061
Personal Trading
As Millennium's related persons may invest in the same securities (including
options, warrants, futures, etc.) in which the Fund may invest based on Millennium's and
its related persons' investment advice, potential conflicts of interest may arise.
Millennium has adopted policies and procedures relating to personal trading by all
personnel—including personnel of its affiliates—which are administered by the
Compliance Department. Among other things, these policies and procedures include a
pre-approval requirement for personal transactions (with certain limited exceptions,
including broad-based indices and mutual funds) of all personnel. These requirements
may be and in certain cases, after consideration, have been waived by Millennium.
Portfolio Managers could maintain personal trading accounts that hold positions that are
identical or similar to the positions held in the portfolios they manage for the Fund,
although such circumstances should be rare. Such a situation could provide an incentive
for a Portfolio Manager to trade in a way that would be advantageous to him or her
personally but that would not be expected to have a positive effect on (and could even be
adverse to) the Fund. Consideration of such matters is a factor in the Compliance
Department's decision as to whether permission will be granted for any particular
transaction.
In addition, members of Millennium's management may (with prior Compliance
Department approval) trade for their own accounts. From time to time these activities
may come into conflict with Millennium's business. If such a conflict were to arise,
Millennium's management personnel would generally be required to subordinate the
interests of any other parties (or their own interests) to the Fund, and in any event would
be required to disclose the conflicts. Millennium will endeavor to resolve any such
conflicts in a manner that is fair and reasonable.
Allocation ofInvestments to and AmongFeeder Funds, RelatedAccounts and Other
Accounts; ConflictingInvestment Opportunities; Cross Transactions
Although at present Millennium's only clients are the Master Partnership, the
Feeder Funds and certain related entities through which the Portfolio Managers invest,
Millennium may enter into managed accounts or similar arrangements with investors or
manage investment vehicles (collectively, together with the Master Partnership and the
Feeder Funds, the "Related Accounts") that have investment programs similar to that of
the Fund or that invest similarly to the Fund's portfolio or certain of its strategies. In
addition, Millennium has formed, and may in the future form other, investment vehicles
or accounts with its or their own capital and/or the capital of outside investors
(collectively, the "Other Accounts").
Other Accounts do not currently, but may in the future, make certain investments
in tandem with the Fund or other Related Accounts. Millennium may determine, in its
discretion, that a particular investment opportunity, or investment with a particular
Portfolio Manager, is appropriate for one or more of the Related Accounts or an Other
Account, but not for the Fund or other Related Accounts, or vice versa, in which case that
investment may not be allocated to the Other Account or Related Account (or, in the case
of a Feeder Fund, the income or loss from the investment may be allocated at the Master
MAXWELL 11-53
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001416
EFTA00237062
Partnership level away from the Feeder Fund). In some instances, investment
opportunities that might have been available to and suitable for the Fund may instead be
placed with a Related Account or Other Account or may be made by Millennium, or vice
versa, and there is no requirement that the Fund or any Related Account or Other
Account receive any preference or priority with respect to investment opportunities.
There may also be certain strategies or investment sectors that the portfolio managers of
the Other Accounts already are invested in and that, as a result, the Fund or a Related
Account may be restricted from participating in, or vice versa, because of applicable
regulatory or reporting requirements. In addition, Related Accounts, including the Feeder
Funds, do not currently, but may in the future, invest directly in certain vehicles in which
the Fund invests, which raises additional conflicts. The potential for such conflicts of
interest to exist may be exacerbated if Millennium receives a higher rate of compensation
in respect of such investment from certain Related Accounts or Other Accounts than
others, including the Fund. In all cases, it is intended that participation in investment
opportunities, or investments with a particular Portfolio Manager, will be allocated on a
fair and equitable basis over time, taking into account such factors as the relative amounts
of capital available for new investments, relative exposure to short-term market trends
and the investment programs and portfolio positions of the clients for which participation
is appropriate, which may result in allocating the investment opportunities, or investing
with Portfolio Managers, other than on a pro rata basis.
Where an investment opportunity, or investment with a particular Portfolio
Manager, is not allocated to a particular Related Account (including the Fund), the net
result will be to provide the other Related Accounts or Other Accounts (and their
investors) with all of the benefits (and risks) of that opportunity and cause the returns
realized by one Related Account to differ from those of the others. Other Accounts or
Related Accounts may also attract investors away from the Fund, which may result in the
Fund's having a smaller investor base thereby increasing the proportionate share of
expenses to investors in the Fund (and, therefore, investors in the Feeder Funds).
The Master Partnership's master-feeder structure may create a conflict of interest
in that different tax considerations for the Master Partnership and the Feeder Funds may
cause the Master Partnership to structure or dispose of an investment in a manner that
provides more advantageous tax treatment, or better (or worse) returns, to one or more
Feeder Funds than to the other Feeder Funds. Additionally, a Feeder Fund may trade and
invest part of its capital for its own account, when presented with investment
opportunities that Millennium believes are appropriate for it and its investors but that are
not appropriate or not optimal (for tax or other reasons) for direct or indirect investors in
the Master Partnership.
Millennium, including Mr. Englander, may, and typically does, have a
disproportionate investment in one or more of the Feeder Funds and may, therefore,
benefit from any benefit derived disproportionately by that Feeder Fund. The same may
be true in connection with an investment in a Related Account or Other Account.
Millennium may engage in a cross transaction between Related Accounts,
including, for example, in connection with the establishment of a Related Account,
termination of a Related Account, or the periodic rebalancing of positions if Millennium
MAXWELL 11-54
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001417
EFTA00237063
determines that such a cross transaction is fair, equitable and in the best interest of both
Related Accounts.
Other conflicts may arise in connection with the management of multiple clients.
Millennium seeks to resolve conflicts on a fair and equitable basis, which in some
instances might mean a resolution that would not maximize the benefit to any particular
client, including the Fund.
Allocation ofErpenses AmongFeeder Funds, Related Accounts and Other Accounts
Millennium seeks to allocate expenses among the Feeder Funds in a manner it
considers fair and reasonable. Millennium determines the allocation of expenses in
accordance with its allocation policies as may be adopted from time to time. Millennium
believes that its allocation methodologies are reasonable; however, other reasonable
approaches may exist that may yield different results, which could be potentially more
advantageous to investors in the Feeder Funds. Moreover, while the allocation of
expenses among the Feeder Funds is designed generally to reflect each Feeder Fund's
consumption of resources, certain expenses may be specifically allocated to only certain
Feeder Funds, and some expenses will be allocated pro rata among all the Feeder Funds.
The apportionment of expenses among the Feeder Funds involves subjective
determinations, which may involve conflicts of interest. The allocation of expenses is
based upon certain estimates and assumptions that Millennium believes are reasonable
and appropriate, but which may be imprecise and result in a Feeder Fund bearing a larger
portion of expenses than it would bear if expenses were calculated in a different manner.
Should Millennium advise additional clients in the future, including Related Accounts or
Other Accounts, these conflicts will be present and may be exacerbated and the expenses
borne by the Feeder Funds may increase.
AdditionalInvestment Funds
Although the Master Partnership and the Feeder Funds are the only investment
funds currently managed by Millennium and its affiliated management companies,
Millennium retains the right to organize additional investment vehicles, and frequently
considers doing so. If Millennium (or an affiliate) were to organize one or more such
additional funds, there would be a number of conflicts between them and the Master
Partnership and the Feeder Funds. The nature and extent of such conflicts would depend
on the specific activities undertaken by the additional fund or finds, but would include (i)
the need to allocate common expenses, and (ii) the diversion of time and attention of
management, and could include (a) the allocation of transaction prices and expenses
when multiple entities purchase or sell the same or substantially similar investment
positions and (b) competition for investment and management talent, as well as other
conflicts. Millennium will attempt to resolve such conflicts by making allocations and
other judgments on a basis that it believes to be fair and equitable under the
circumstances. With regard to the allocation of expenses being made more difficult
because of Millennium's fee and expense structure with respect to the Master Partnership
and the Feeder Funds, expenses may be allocated on average cost basis (allocating total
expenses based on a reasonable estimate of proportionate utilization), a marginal cost
basis (charging for the incremental cost of additional utilization), independent third-party
MAXWELL 11-55
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001418
EFTA00237064
pricing for comparable transactions, goods or services, some combination of those, or
other bases that are reasonably determined to be appropriate by Millennium in its sole
discretion.
Outside Business Activities
Mr. Englander has a minority, passive interest in a non-Millennium broker-dealer,
Israel A. Englander & Co., Inc ("Englander & Co."). To the extent that the Fund or a
Portfolio Manager employs the services of Englander & Co., this could constitute a
conflict of interest for Mr. Englander. However, the amount of business that Englander
& Co., Inc. has historically received from the Fund is small and Englander & Co. has not
received any business from the Fund since December 2009.
Millennium may from time to time manage investment vehicles that may invest in
the Fund and other investment vehicles, which may include investment vehicles
established for the benefit of the principals of Millennium or their family members.
Millennium may from time to time conduct other businesses, including, without
limitation, the provision of investment management, administrative or other services to
other funds, accounts or third parties and may expand the extent to which they may
provide such services to others. Assets of Millennium, including, without limitation,
intellectual property developed in connection with services provided to the Fund may be
utilized in the conduct of other business activities in the sole discretion of Millennium
without compensation or reimbursement to the Feeder Funds. Mr. Englander and the
other principals of Millennium devote to the Fund so much of their time as, in their
respective judgments, is necessary or appropriate in connection with the Fund's activities.
Ownership Influence
Persons related to or affiliated with Millennium (including Mr. Englander, senior
officers, various Portfolio Managers, and other Millennium employees and consultants)
hold, through a variety of direct and indirect investment channels, a significant portion of
the capital of the Fund (including deferred compensation). There are no limitations on
the ability to dispose of or transfer such interests, or otherwise modify the ownership
structure of any of the Millennium entities, except to the extent limited by law, regulation
or the terms of the applicable interests.
From time to time, individuals affiliated with the Fund have in the past become
aware of and purchased (and may in the future become aware of and purchase) interests
in the Feeder Funds (or other entities managed by Millennium) that were (or are)
available for transfer from other holders at prices less than net asset value because of
limitations affecting the redemption or withdrawal of the interests at the time.
LeveragedInvestments
The principals and senior officers of Millennium indirectly invest in, or have an
interest in the returns of, the Fund through a number of channels. Some of these
investments may be leveraged through the extension of credit by a third party to a Feeder
Fund (structured in a manner that is intended to be non-recourse to the Fund ). In
a -MAXWELL 11-56
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001419
EFTA00237065
connection with structuring the investments, the third parties typically make an
investment in a class of interests in one of the Feeder Funds that is entitled to more
favorable liquidation and other rights under certain circumstances, which may increase
the risk of redemptions, and result in redemptions at times when other investors in the
Feeder Funds are unable to effect redemptions, if there are specified declines in the net
asset value of the relevant Feeder Fund or a termination of the financial arrangement with
the third party due to the occurrence of events of default. In addition, other similar
structures may be formed in the future. While Millennium believes that in substantially
all situations these kinds of relationships are useful in aligning the interests of
management with those of investors in the Feeder Funds, they could lead to situations in
which the interests of management diverge from those of other investors.
Conflicts Related to ThirdParty FundInvestments
Although Millennium has not done so to date, Millennium could in the future
acquire an economic interest in a management company formed by an independent
Portfolio Manager to which assets of the Fund are allocated. The interest might take
various forms, such as shares or partnership interests in, or an economic interest in the
revenues of, the Portfolio Manager's management company. If such a situation were to
arise, Millennium may have an economic incentive to favor one Portfolio Manager over
another.
Custody/Commingling ofProperty
Investment assets of the Fund required to be custodied are held by third party
prime brokers and custodians. Millennium does not currently commingle the investment
assets of the Fund with the property of any other person, although (i) specified assets may
be pooled in a side-by-side co-investment arrangement with another entity, which may
include the Fund or of a Portfolio Manager, and (ii) the investment assets of the Fund
may be commingled by those firms which act as brokers, futures commission merchants
and custodians for the Fund or the Portfolio Managers.
Hedging and Other Activities Related to Shares of Feeder Funds Not Denominated in
U.S. Dollars
One of the Feeder Funds has issued Non-USD Shares, and the Feeder Funds may
in the future offer other interests which have different functional currencies or reference
assets. As with the Non-USD Shares, the terms of such interests may provide that the
applicable Feeder Fund will seek to hedge the exposure of such interests to minimize, to
the extent practicable, fluctuations in the value of such shares arising from the
fluctuations in the applicable exchange rates or reference assets price relative to the U.S.
dollar. Such hedging may be undertaken by the Fund on behalf of the applicable Feeder
Fund, with the applicable Feeder Fund (and, within the Feeder Fund, the affected shares)
being allocated the profits and losses, including expenses, associated with such activity.
The capital of the Fund may be used to satisfy any margin requirements associated with
hedging activities and a financing charge will be allocated to the capital account of the
applicable Feeder Fund (which will, in turn, be allocated to the relevant hedged interests)
at a rate based on prevailing rates charged to the Fund, as determined by Millennium in
a -MAXWELL II-57
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001420
EFTA00237066
its sole discretion, which rates would likely be less than rates that would be available to
investors in such interests if they sought to obtain financing for such activities directly.
Although the Fund anticipates having excess cash available to satisfy margin
requirements, to the extent that this changes and/or the amount of cash necessary to
satisfy margin requirements increases substantially, cash that would otherwise be
available for investment by the Fund may be used for such purposes, which could
adversely impact the returns of the Fund. Alternatively, the applicable Feeder Fund may
engage in hedging activities directly, in which case the Fund may advance cash to the
applicable Feeder Fund in order to satisfy margin requirements. Any such transactions
will raise similar considerations to those described above.
Related-Party Charitable Foundation
In 2006, Millennium established the "Millennium Management and Employees
Foundation" as a tax-exempt IRS §50I(cX3) organization for the purpose of providing
support for educational, social, community service and other similar tax-exempt
organizations in the communities in which Millennium is involved. Funds provided to
the foundation come from Millennium and its officers and employees, but the Fund does
not make contributions to the foundation, and no funds of Feeder Fund investors are used
to support the foundation.
U.K. and Asia Structures - Inter-Compaq)) Loans
MCP UK is currently indirectly owned by David Nolan, Co-President of the
General Partner. The capital to establish, capitalize and maintain MCP UK was loaned to
Mr. Nolan by the Master Partnership, and that receivable remains outstanding to the
Master Partnership. The loan is secured by Mr. Nolan's interest in MCP UK and its U.K.
affiliates. If the loan becomes due and payable and has not been paid, the Master
Partnership is authorized, among other things, to transfer the shares to itself or to sell the
shares (and the assets of MCP UK and its U.K. affiliates) and apply the proceeds towards
the discharge of the loan. The loan has been structured in a way that seeks to ensure that
Mr. Nolan does not receive any additional pecuniary benefit from owning MCP UK. Mr.
Nolan operates MCP UK with the intention ofMCP UK's providing a valuable service to
the Master Partnership and its investors, and not with the intention of making a personal
profit (or incurring a personal loss). The ownership structure of MCP UK may change
from time to time without notice.
Each of MCM Singapore, MCM FIK, and MCM Asia's Tokyo Branch
(collectively, the "Asia Entities") is owned by Millennium International Management.
The capital to establish, capitalize and maintain the Asia Entities has been loaned to
Millennium International Management by the Master Partnership. The loans are secured
by Millennium International Management's interest in the shares of each Asia Entity. If
the loans becomes due and payable and have not been paid, the Master Partnership is
authorized, among other things, to transfer the shares to itself or to sell the shares (and the
assets of the relevant Asia Entity) and apply the proceeds toward the discharge of the
loans. These loans have been structured in a way that seeks to ensure that Millennium
International Management does not receive any additional pecuniary benefit from owning
11= -MAXWELL 11-58
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001421
EFTA00237067
the Asia Entities. The ownership structure of the Asia Entities may change from time to
time without notice.
These inter-company loans in the aggregate currently represent less than 1% of
the net asset value of the Master Partnership. These inter-company loans are exclusively
for the benefit of the Master Partnership and are not for the benefit of the General Partner
or its principals or affiliates. Under the terms of the Master Partnership's governing
documents, the Master Partnership is obligated to reimburse all costs, fees and expenses
incurred in managing the assets of the Master Partnership, including the costs, fees and
expenses associated with the offices of MCP UK and the Asia Entities. As a result, these
inter-company loans are an advancement of regulatory capital and expenses that would
otherwise be incurred by the Master Partnership, and do not result in any increased costs
to the Master Partnership.
The Fund may enter into similarly structured inter-company loans or other similar
arrangements to facilitate the Fund's investment activities, including in other
jurisdictions, in the future.
Compliance, Legal andEthics Oversight (CLEO) Committee
The CLEO Committee is responsible for reviewing firm-wide compliance, legal
and ethics issues throughout Millennium's business as they arise, and investigating
(directly or indirectly) possible breaches of compliance, legal or ethical duties, rules,
policies or procedures committed by any of Millennium's employees or agents or persons
acting on their behalf.
Certain Tax Matters Relating to the Master Partnership
Certain Cayman Islands Tax Matters
THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN CAYMAN ISLANDS
TAX CONSEQUENCES TO PERSONS WHO PURCHASE INTERESTS IN THE
OFFERING. THE DISCUSSION IS BASED UPON APPLICABLE LAW OF THE
CAYMAN ISLANDS AND ON THE ADVICE OF WALKERS, CAYMAN ISLANDS
COUNSEL. THE DISCUSSION DOES NOT ADDRESS ALL OF THE TAX
CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO A PARTICULAR INVESTOR.
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS MUST CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISERS AS
TO THE CAYMAN ISLANDS TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ACQUIRING, HOLDING
AND DISPOSING OF INTERESTS, AS WELL AS THE EFFECTS OF TAX LAWS
OF THE JURISDICTIONS OF WHICH THEY ARE CITIZENS, RESIDENTS OR
DOMICILIARIES OR IN WHICH THEY CONDUCT BUSINESS.
There is, at present, no direct taxation in the Cayman Islands and interest,
dividends and gains payable to the Master Partnership will be received free of all Cayman
Islands taxes. The Master Partnership is registered as an "exempted limited partnership"
pursuant to the Exempted Limited Partnership Law (as amended). The Master
Partnership has received an undertaking from the Governor in Cabinet of the Cayman
Islands dated November 28, 2000 to the effect that, for a period of fifty years from such
date, no law that thereafter is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax or duty to
MAXWELL 11-59
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001422
EFTA00237068
be levied on profits, income or on gains or appreciation, or any tax in the nature of estate
duty or inheritance tax, will apply to any property comprised in or any income arising
under the Master Partnership, or to the Investors thereof, in respect of any such property
or income.
Other Jurisdictions
Tax disclosures relevant to an investment in a particular Feeder Fund have been
included in Part One of the applicable version of this Confidential Memorandum.
Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters Relating to the Fund
United States Investment Comparry Act
As entities that are engaged primarily in the business of "investing, reinvesting, or
trading in securities," the Feeder Funds and the Fund would likely fall within the
definition of "investment company" found in the Investment Company Act. The
Investment Company Act imposes technical, complex, and extensive substantive
regulations of the activities of an investment company (including obligations and
restrictions relating to organization, corporate governance, disclosure, asset allocation,
and investment diversification) and prohibits an investment company from offering or
selling securities in the United States unless it is registered under the Investment
Company Act. However, each of the Feeder Funds and the Master Partnership is
excluded from the definition of "investment company" under the Investment Company
Act pursuant to Section 3(c)(7) of that act, and they therefore are not subject to its
provisions.
United States Investment Advisers Act
The General Partner is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC under the
U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended and certain affiliates of the General
Partner and certain Portfolio Managers are "Relying Advisers" who rely on the General
Partner's registration as an investment adviser.
United States Commodity Exchange Act
The Master Partnership and each of the Feeder Funds is classified as a
"commodity pool" under the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the "CEA"),
and each of the General Partner, Millennium International Management and Millennium
Global Estate GP is registered with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(the "CFTC") as a commodity pool operator ("CPO"), as a commodity trading advisor
("CTA") and is a member of the U.S. National Futures Association. In addition, Israel
Englander, the managing member or control person of each of the General Partner,
Millennium International Management and Millennium Global Estate GP, is registered
under the CEA as an associated person and a principal of each of the General Partner,
Millennium International Management and Millennium Global Estate GP. However,
because interests in each Feeder Fund and in the Master Partnership are offered and sold
only to "qualified eligible persons" (as defined in the CEA) in offerings exempt from
registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) or Regulation S thereunder,
MAXWELL 11-60
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001423
EFTA00237069
the General Partner, Millennium International Management and Millennium Global
Estate GP are not required under the CEA to provide any disclosure document to
investors and are granted significant relief from the periodic reporting and recordkeeping
requirements of the CEA.
The Fund fulfills its initial margin requirements with respect to commodity
interests subject to CFTC jurisdiction by delivering cash, or to the extent permitted by the
rules of the exchange on which a position is being maintained, by delivering securities.
Any income generated from Fund securities posted as margin will be received by the
Master Partnership and allocated among the partners in the Master Partnership (including
the Feeder Funds) in the same manner as is provided in the Partnership Agreement for
items of income. Any variation margin required to be furnished by the Fund from time to
time will be satisfied solely through the delivery of cash or other acceptable collateral.
UnitedStates Securities Exchange Act
Institutional Investment Manager. The Master Partnership and a number of its
affiliates qualify as "institutional investment managers" under Section 13(f) of the
Exchange Act and, accordingly, are required to file quarterly "Form 13F" position reports
with the SEC. These reports are available through the SEC's EDGAR database, which
can be accessed through the SEC's web site (www.sec.gov).
Broker-Dealer and Other Similar Registrations. Millennium has in the past had a
broker-dealer entity registered under the Exchange Act and may in the future have a
broker-dealer entity registered under the Exchange Act or another similarly regulated
entity.
Cayman Islands MutualFunds Law
Pursuant to recent amendments to the Mutual Funds Law (as amended) of the
Cayman Islands (the "Law"), certain "master funds" (as defined in the Mutual Funds Law)
are to be registered with, and regulated by, the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (the
"Monetary Authority"). The Master Partnership has submitted an application for
registration pursuant to the Law. As a regulated "master fund," the Master Partnership is
not required to be licensed or employ a licensed mutual fund administrator, but it is subject
to the supervision of the Monetary Authority.
The Master Partnership must file this Confidential Memorandum and details of any
changes that materially affect any information in this Confidential Memorandum with the
Monetary Authority. The Master Partnership must also file annually with the Monetary
Authority accounts approved by an approved auditor, together with a return containing
particulars specified by the Monetary Authority, within six months of its financial year end
or within such extension of that period as the Monetary Authority may allow. A prescribed
fee must also be paid annually.
In addition to the annual audit, the Monetary Authority may, at any time, instruct
the Master Partnership to have its accounts audited and to submit them to the Monetary
Authority within such time as the Monetary Authority specifies. The Monetary Authority
MAXWELL 11-61
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001424
EFTA00237070
may also ask the General Partner to give the Monetary Authority such information or such
explanation in respect of the Master Partnership as the Monetary Authority may reasonably
require to enable it to carry out its duty under the Law.
The Monetary Authority shall, whenever it considers it necessary, examine,
including by way of on-site inspections or in such other manner as it may determine, the
affairs or business of the Master Partnership for the purpose of satisfying itself that the
provisions of the Law and applicable anti-money laundering regulations are being complied
with.
The General Partner must give the Monetary Authority access to, or provide at any
reasonable time, all records relating to the Master Partnership, and the Monetary Authority
may copy or take an extract of a record it is given access to. Failure to comply with these
requests by the Monetary Authority may result in substantial fines on the part of the
General Partner and may result in the Monetary Authority's applying to the court to have
the Master Partnership wound up.
The Monetary Authority may take certain actions if it is satisfied that a regulated
mutual fund:
(a) is or is likely to become unable to meet its obligations as they fall
due;
(b) is carrying on or is attempting to carry on business or is winding up
its business voluntarily in a manner that is prejudicial to its investors
or creditors;
(c) is not being managed in a fit and proper manner; or
(d) has persons appointed as general partner, manager or officer that is
not a fit and proper person to hold the respective position.
The powers of the Monetary Authority include, inter alia, the power to require the
substitution of the General Partner, to appoint a person to advise the Master Partnership on
the proper conduct of its affairs or to appoint a person to assume control of the affairs of the
Master Partnership. There are other remedies available to the Monetary Authority
including the ability to cancel the registration of the Master Partnership and to apply to the
court for approval of other actions.
Foreign Registrations
A number of the Millennium entities are registered with their local regulators.
See "The Fund's Management, Structure and Operations—Affiliated Relying Advisers."
Stock Exchanges/Self-Regulatory Organizations
By virtue of their exchange memberships, a number of Millennium entities are
also subject to oversight by, among others, NYSE, NYSE/AMEX, NYSE/ARCA, the
MAXWELL II-62
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001425
EFTA00237071
International Securities Exchange, BATS Exchange Inc., NASDAQ, NASDAQ/BX, and
the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. In general, such oversight is intended to protect the
markets themselves and a firm's public customers, rather than investors in the Master
Partnership or in the Feeder Funds.
Anti-Money Laundering Regulations
The Master Partnership accepts investments only from (i) the Feeder Funds, (ii)
entities through which Portfolio Managers and related personnel are able to invest in their
strategies and (iii) the General Partner. Accordingly, the Master Partnership relies upon
the Feeder Funds' "know your investor" and similar anti-money-laundering policies and
procedures, described in Part One of the applicable version of this Confidential
Memorandum.
Litigation
Settlement Relating to Mutual Fund Trading
In December 2005, the General Partner, Mr. Englander and certain other
Millennium officers and affiliates entered into settlements with the Attorney General of
the State of New York and the SEC relating to allegations that the respondents had
improperly engaged in activities related to "market timing" of investments in mutual
funds. Under these agreements, the respondents consented to the entry of findings
without admitting or denying that they had taken any actions that were in violation of
law. Pursuant to the settlements, the respondents, among other things, agreed to the
following:
■ certain undertakings, described more fully in the settlements, designed to
enhance Millennium's legal, compliance and ethics structure;
■ the disgorgement of approximately $148 million of the profits earned from
mutual fund trading (of which approximately $26.6 million reflected
incentive amounts earned on the disgorged profits);
■ the payment of civil fines by the individuals named aggregating
approximately $32 million; and
■ to "cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any
future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b)
of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder."
Millennium is in full compliance with all provisions of the settlement.

(a) The Manager shall not be liable to the Fund for any acts or omissions by the
Manager, and any member, director officer or employee of the Manager, or any of
its affiliates, for any error of judgment, mistake of law or any act or omission in
connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement, unless it shall
be determined by final judicial decision on the merits from which there is no further
right to appeal that such error, mistake or act or omission constitutes willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in connection with the conduct of the
Manager's duties under this Agreement; provided, that under no circumstance will
the Manager be liable for any indirect or consequential damages.
(b) The Fund shall indemnify the Manager and any member, director, officer or

Indemnified Person arising out of or in connection with the Manager's acceptance

relating to this Agreement, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence

amount if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a non-appealable
judgment that the Indemnified Person was not entitled to be indemnified
hereunder. Any and all judgments against the Fund, or the Manager in respect of
which the Manager is entitled to indemnification shall be satisfied from the Fund
assets, including Capital Contributions. If the Manager determines that it is
appropriate or necessary to do so, the Manager may cause the Fund to establish

rata among the Members unless otherwise determined by the Manager (in which case they will be

accordance with this Agreement. A substitute Manager may be appointed upon the
vote of at least a Majority in Interest.
(b) The Administrative Services Agreement may be terminated at any time by a vote of
at least a Majority in Unaffiliated Interest at a meeting of the Members called for

the Fund and, to the extent consistent with applicable law, without the prior
consent of the Fund or the Members.
4.2 Transfer of Interests of Members.
(a) An Interest or portion thereof of a Member may be Transferred only (i) by operation
of law pursuant to the death, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of such Member
or (ii) with the written consent of the Manager (which may be withheld in its sole
and absolute discretion). If the Manager does not consent to a Transfer by
operation of law, the Fund shall redeem the Interest from the Member's successor.
Any permitted transferee shall be entitled to the allocations and distributions
allocable to the Interest so acquired and to Transfer such Interest in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, but shall not be entitled to the other rights of a
Member unless and until such transferee becomes a substituted Member. If a
Member Transfers an Interest or portion thereof with the approval of the Manager,
the Fund may take all necessary actions so that each transferee or successor to
whom such Interest or portion thereof is Transferred is admitted to the Fund as a
substituted Member. The admission of any transferee as a substituted Member shall
be effective upon the execution and delivery by, or on behalf of, such substituted
Member of either a counterpart of this Agreement or an instrument that constitutes
the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Each transferring Member and
transferee agrees to pay all expenses, induding attorneys' and accountants' fees,
incurred by the Fund in connection with such Transfer. Upon the Transfer to
another person or persons of a Member's entire Interest, such Member shall cease
to be a member of the Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Transfer shall be
permitted if (i) it would cause the assets of the Fund to be considered "plan assets"
under the Plan Assets Rules or (ii) if such transferee is not a "qualified purchaser" as
such term is defined under the 1940 Act and an "accredited investor" as defined in
the 1933 Act.
(b) Each transferring Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, the
Manager, each other Member and any affiliate of the foregoing against all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including legal or other expenses
incurred in investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs and expenses or any judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement), joint or several, to which such persons may become subject by reason
of or arising from (i) any Transfer made by such Member in violation of this Section
4.2 and (ii) any misrepresentation by such Member in connection with any such
Transfer.
4.3 Withdrawal of Interests.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member or other person
holding an Interest or portion thereof shall have the right to withdraw that Interest
or portion thereof. A Member may withdraw all or a portion of its Capital Account
on any Withdrawal Date, subject to any Gate, if applicable and the other provisions
of this Section 4.3.
(b) A Member shall be permitted to make a withdrawal of Interests as of close of
business on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year (each
such day, a "Withdrawal Date").

(c) To the extent the Fund has received withdrawal requests in respect of Interests for
any Withdrawal Date aggregating to more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
aggregate net asset value of the Fund attributable to Interests as of such
Withdrawal Date, the Manager may, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) satisfy all
such withdrawal requests or (ii) reduce all such withdrawal requests, pro rata based
on the requested withdrawal amount of each Member, so that only 25% (or a
higher percentage, in the sole discretion of the Manager) of the aggregate net asset
value of the Fund attributable to Interests as of such Withdrawal Date is withdrawn
as of such date (the "Gate"). To the extent a request for withdrawal of Interests is
not satisfied due to the Gate, the applicable Member will be deemed automatically
to have resubmitted a withdrawal request for the remaining portion of such
unsatisfied request as of the next Withdrawal Date.
(d) To the extent the Fund is restricted from making withdrawals from the Millennium
Fund in respect of Interests due to a gating or other restriction imposed by the
Millennium Fund, the Manager may, in its sole discretion, reduce the withdrawals
requested by Members pro rata according to the method described in Section
4.3(c).
(e) A withdrawal of any Interests prior to the last day of the fourth full fiscal quarter
after the subscription for such Interests will be subject to an early withdrawal
charge (the "Early Withdrawal Charge") equal to 4% of the amount requested to
be withdrawn (regardless of whether the Fund is charged the corresponding early
redemption fee by the Millennium Fund). Any early withdrawal charge that is
charged to the Fund by the Millennium Fund will be allocated pro rata among
Members.
(t) Notice of withdrawal must be received in writing by the Fund no later than the one
hundred and fifth (105th) day preceding the Withdrawal Date upon which any or
all of a Member's Interest may be withdrawn, or upon such other notice period,
which may be longer, as may be notified to the Members, in the Manager's sole
discretion.
(g) Withdrawal proceeds will be distributed as follows:
(i) In the case of withdrawals of 95% or more of the balance of a Member's Capital
Account, an amount equal to 95% of the estimated withdrawal proceeds is
generally expected to be payable to such Member sixty (60) days after the
applicable Withdrawal Date, and the balance will be paid, subject to audit
adjustment and with interest, within 30 days after the Fund receives its audited
financial statements for the year in which such Withdrawal Date occurred.
(ii) In the case of withdrawals of less than 95% of the balance of a Member's Capital
Account requested as of March 31 or September 30, an amount equal to 100% of
the estimated withdrawal proceeds is generally expected to be payable to such
Member within sixty (60) days after the applicable Withdrawal Date.
(iii) In the case of withdrawals of less than 95% of the balance of a Member's Capital
Account requested as of June 30 or December 31, an amount equal to 95% of the
estimated withdrawal proceeds is generally expected to be payable to such Member
within sixty (60) days after the applicable Withdrawal Date, and the balance will be

paid, subject to audit adjustment and with interest, 15 days following receipt from
the Millennium Fund.
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts held back may be larger and/or paid out
later, in the Manager's sole discretion.
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager may waive any notice requirements in
its sole discretion; provided that any notice is irrevocable unless otherwise
determined by the Manager. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, once the Fund has commenced liquidation, all withdrawal rights and
requests may be canceled or altered in the Manager's sole discretion.
(i) If the Manager is removed as manager of the Fund pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof,
it (or its trustee, other legal representative or Affiliate) may within sixty (60) days of
the effective date of such termination withdraw all or any portion of its Capital
Account. Not later than thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, the Fund
shall cause such withdrawn portion of the Capital Account to be paid out in cash.
(k) The Manager may cause the Fund to redeem an Interest or portion thereof of a
Member or any person acquiring an Interest or portion thereof from or through a
Member if the Manager determines or has reason to believe that:
(i) such an Interest or portion thereof has been transferred in violation of Section
4.2 hereof, or such an Interest or portion thereof has vested in any person by
operation of law as the result of the death, dissolution, bankruptcy or
incompetency of a Member;
(ii) ownership of such an Interest by a Member or other person will cause the Fund to
be in violation of, or require registration of any Interest or portion thereof under, or
subject the Fund to additional registration or regulation under, the securities,
commodities or other laws of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction;
(iii) continued ownership of such an Interest may be harmful or injurious to the
business or reputation of the Fund or the Manager, or may subject the Fund or any
of the Members to an undue risk of adverse tax or other fiscal consequences;
(iv) disposal of any assets of the Fund or other transactions involving the sale, transfer
or delivery of funds, securities or other assets in the ordinary course of the Fund's
business is not reasonably practical without being detrimental to the Interests of the
withdrawing Members or the remaining Members;
(v) any of the representations and warranties made by a Member in connection with
the acquisition of an Interest or portion thereof was not true when made or has
ceased to be true; or
(vi) it would be in the best interests of the Fund, as determined by the Manager, for the
Fund to redeem such an Interest or portion thereof.
(I) Withdrawals of Interests or portions thereof by the Fund shall be funded with cash
or securities. Although the Manager generally expects distributions in connection
with Withdrawals to be made in cash, any such distributions may be in cash, in-
kind, or partly in cash and partly in-kind, in the Manager's sole discretion. The
MIE-MAXWELL
8-17
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001445
EFTA00237091
Manager, in its sole discretion, may subject a Member to a charge in order to defray
the costs and expenses of the Fund in connection with such withdrawal, induding
but not limited to the Early Withdrawal Charge and any amounts paid or accrued
by the Fund vis-à-vis its investment in the Millennium Fund and withdrawal or
similar charges imposed by the Millennium Fund. The Manager may determine to
satisfy a withdrawal request in full, without a holdback, in its discretion.
(m) The amount due to any Member whose Interest or portion thereof is withdrawn
shall be equal to the value of such Member's Capital Account or portion thereof
based on the estimated net asset value of the Fund's assets as of the effective date
of withdrawal, after giving effect to all allocations and charges (including the Fee)
to be made to such Member's Capital Account as of such date. All such
withdrawals shall be subject to any and all conditions as the Manager may impose,
including the following:
(i) a Member may not make a partial withdrawal of his, her or its Interest if thereafter
the Capital Account of such Member would be less than $250,000 or such lesser
amount as the Manager in its sole discretion may determine;
(ii) partial withdrawals must be made in increments of not less than $50,000 or such
other amount as the Manager in its sole discretion may determine; and
(iii) the Manager may delay or suspend redemptions for any or no reason, including
without limitation if (i) the Manager, in its sole discretion, has reasonably
determined that delay or suspension is necessary, prudent or appropriate in
connection with the operation of the Fund or (ii) the Fund's ability to make
withdrawals from the Millennium Fund is suspended, delayed, modified or denied;
(n) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no withdrawal shall be permitted if it would cause
the assets of the Fund to be considered "plan assets" under the Plan Assets Rules.
4.4 Return of Certain Distributions and Withdrawal Proceeds. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time following a withdrawal of all or a
portion of a Capital Account, the Manager determines, in its sole discretion, that the
amount paid to a Member or former Member pursuant to such withdrawal was materially
incorrect for any reason, including but not limited to (i) a determination by the Manager
that the amount paid to the Fund pursuant to a withdrawal from the Millennium Fund was
materially incorrect and the Manager determines, in its sole discretion, that such amount
should be allocated to such Member or former Member, or (ii) a determination by the
Manager, that the calculation of Net Assets was materially incorrect at the time such
amount was paid to such Member or former Member, the Fund may pay to such Member
or former Member any additional amount that the Manager determines such Member or
former Member should have been entitled to receive, or, in its sole discretion, seek payment
from such Member or former Member of the amount of any excess payment that the
Manager determines such Member or former Member received, in each case without
interest, although, in its sole discretion, the Manager may determine for any reason or no
reason that such action is not feasible or practicable. Nothing in this Section 4.4, express or
implied, is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the Fund, the
Manager or the Members any legal or equitable right, remedy or daim under or in respect
of this Section 4.4 or any provision contained herein.

to time. The amount of the initial contribution of each Member shall be recorded
on the books and records of the Fund upon acceptance as a contribution to the
capital of the Fund.
(b) The Members may make additional contributions to the capital of the Fund,
effective as of such times and in such amounts as the Manager in its discretion may
permit, but no Member shall be obligated to make any additional contribution to
the capital of the Fund except to the extent otherwise provided herein.
(c) Except as otherwise permitted by the Manager, (i) initial and any additional
contributions to the capital of the Fund by any Member shall be payable in cash,
and (ii) initial and any additional contributions in cash shall be payable in readily
available funds at the date of the proposed acceptance of the contribution.
5.2 Rights of Members to Capital. No Member shall be entitled to interest on his, her or its
contribution to the capital of the Fund, nor shall any Member be entitled to the return of
any capital of the Fund except (i) upon the withdrawal by Members of a part or all of such
Member's Interest pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof, (ii) pursuant to the provisions of Section
5.6(c) hereof or (iii) upon the liquidation of the Fund's assets pursuant to Section 6.2
hereof. No Member shall be liable for the return of any such amounts except as provided

compel any sale or appraisal of the Fund's assets.

(a) The Fund shall maintain a separate Capital Account for each Member.
(b) Each Member's Capital Account shall have an initial balance equal to the amount of
cash constituting such Member's initial contribution to the capital of the Fund.
(c) Each Member's Capital Account shall be increased by the sum of (i) the amount of
cash constituting additional contributions by such Member to the capital of the
Fund permitted pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, plus (ii) any amount credited to
such Member's Capital Account pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE V.
(d) Each Member's Capital Account shall be reduced by the sum of (i) any amount
withdrawn by such Member or distributions to such Member pursuant to Sections

Period, each Member's Capital Account shall be reduced by the amount of the Fee
calculated in respect of such Member for such Fiscal Period.
(e) In the event the Manager determines that, based upon tax or regulatory reasons,

adjustments pursuant to Sections 5.3(c) or 5.3(d) hereof, if any, attributable to
trading or investing in any Investment, type of Investment, or to any other

transaction, the Manager may allocate such adjustments pursuant to Sections 5.3(c)
or 5.3(d) hereof to the Capital Accounts of the Members not subject to such
limitations on participation as may be deemed appropriate. In addition, if for any of
the reasons described above, the Manager determines that a Member's Capital
Account should have no interest whatsoever or shall have only a partial interest in a
particular Investment, type of Investment or transaction, the interests in such
Investment, type of Investment or transaction may be set forth in a separate
memorandum account and the adjustments pursuant to Sections 5.3(c) or 5.3(d)
hereof for each such memorandum account shall be separately calculated and
allocated among the Members' Capital Accounts to the extent of their interest in
such Investment, type of Investment or transaction.

items will be allocated amount and credited to or debited against Capital Account as so
otherwise provided).
5.5 Allocation of Certain Withholding Taxes and Other Expenditures.
(a) If the Fund incurs a withholding tax or other tax obligation with respect to the share
of Fund income allocable to any Member, then the Manager, without limitation of
any other rights of the Fund or the Manager, shall cause the amount of such
obligation to be debited against the Capital Account of such Member when the
Fund pays such obligation, and any amounts then or thereafter distributable to such
Member shall be reduced by the amount of such taxes. If the amount of such taxes
is greater than any such distributable amounts, then such Member and any
successor to such Member's Interest shall pay to the Fund as a contribution to the
capital of the Fund, upon demand of the Fund, the amount of such excess. The
Fund shall not be obligated to apply for or obtain a reduction of or exemption from
withholding tax on behalf of any Member that may be eligible for such reduction or
exemption; provided, that in the event that the Fund determines that a Member is
eligible for a refund of any withholding tax, the Fund may, at the request and
expense of such Member, assist such Member in applying for such refund.
(b) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, any expenditures payable by
the Fund, and any other Fund items, to the extent determined by the Manager to
have been paid or incurred or withheld on behalf of, or by reason of particular
circumstances applicable to, one or more but fewer than all of the Members, may,
in the Manager's sole discretion, be charged to only those Members on whose
behalf such expenditures or items are paid or incurred or whose particular
circumstances gave rise to such expenditures or items. Such charges shall be
debited from the Capital Accounts of such Members as of the close of the Fiscal
Period during which any such items were paid or accrued by the Fund.

5.6 Reserves.
(a) Appropriate reserves may be created, accrued and charged against Net Assets and
proportionately against the Capital Accounts of the Members for contingent
liabilities, if any, as of the date that the Manager in its sole discretion deems
appropriate, such reserves to be in the amounts which the Manager in its sole
discretion deem necessary or appropriate. The Manager may increase or reduce any
such reserves from time to time by such amounts as it in its sole discretion deems
necessary or appropriate. The amount of any such reserve, or any increase or
decrease therein, shall be proportionately charged or credited, as appropriate, to
the Capital Accounts of those parties who are Members at the time when such
reserve is created, increased or decreased, as the case may be; provided, however,
that if any such individual reserve item, adjusted by any increase therein, exceeds
the lesser of $500,000 or 1% of the aggregate value of the Capital Accounts of all
such Members, the amount of such reserve, increase, or decrease instead may, in
the discretion of the Manager, be charged or credited to those parties who were
Members at the time, as determined by the Manager in its sole discretion, of the act
or omission giving rise to the contingent liability for which the reserve was
established, increased or decreased in proportion to their Capital Accounts.
(b) If at any time an amount is paid or received by the Fund (other than contributions
to the capital of the Fund, distributions or withdrawals of Interests or portions
thereof) and such amount exceeds the lesser of $500,000 or 1% of the aggregate
value of the Capital Accounts of all Members at the time of payment or receipt and
such amount was not accrued or reserved for but would nevertheless, in
accordance with the Fund's accounting practices, be treated as applicable to one or
more prior Fiscal Periods, then such amount may, in the discretion of the Manager,
be proportionately charged or credited, as appropriate, to those parties who were
Members during such prior Fiscal Period or Periods.
(c) If any amount is required or permitted by paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5.6 to
be charged or credited to a party who is no longer a Member, such amount shall be
paid by or to such party, as the case may be, in cash, with interest from the date on
which the Manager determines that such charge or credit is required. In the case of
a charge, the former Member shall be obligated to pay the amount of the charge,
plus interest as provided above, to the Fund on demand; provided, however, that
(i) in no event shall a former Member be obligated to make a payment exceeding
the amount of such Member's Capital Account at the time to which the charge
relates; and (ii) no such demand shall be made after the expiration of three (3)
years, or such longer period as permitted under applicable law, from the date on
which such party ceased to be a Member. To the extent that a former Member fails
to pay to the Fund, in full, any amount required to be charged to such former
Member pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b), whether due to the expiration of the
applicable limitation period or for any other reason whatsoever, the deficiency shall
be charged proportionately to the Capital Accounts of the Members at the time of
the act or omission giving rise to the charge to the extent feasible, and otherwise
proportionately to the Capital Accounts of the current Members.
5.7 Tax Allocations.
(a) For each Fiscal Year, items of income, deduction, gain, loss or credit shall be
allocated for income tax purposes among the Members in such manner as to reflect

8-21
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001449

equitably amounts credited or debited to each Member's Capital Account for the
current and prior Fiscal Years (or relevant portions thereof). Allocations under this
Section 5.7 shall be made pursuant to the principles of Section 704(b) and 704(c) of
the Code, and in conformity with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ivXf)
and (g), 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) and 1.704-3(e) promulgated thereunder, as applicable, or
the successor provisions to such Section and Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding

action unless and until: (i) the class certification is denied; or (ii) the class is

or limitation of any rights that the Fund or the Members may have under applicable
securities or other laws to the extent such rights cannot be contractually waived

other agreements with a Member shall govern with respect to such Member

contemplated herein or in any provisions of law or in equity, whenever in this Agreement, a
person is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its "sole discretion" or "discretion"

fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any
interest of or factors affecting the Fund or the Members, or (ii) in its "good faith" or under
another express standard, then such person shall act under such express standard.
