UBS Memorandum No.:
AlphaKeys European Real Estate Opportunities Fund II, L.L.C.
Important Information
This Confidential Offering Memorandum and any amendments and supplements thereto (for the avoidance
of doubt, excluding any appendices attached hereto, this "Memorandum") is being furnished to selected
qualified investors on a confidential basis for their consideration in connection with the private offering of
limited liability company interests (the "interests") in AlphaKeys European Real Estate Opportunities Fund II,
L.L.C. (the "AlphaKevs Fund"). Prospective investors should read this Memorandum carefully before
deciding whether to purchase Interests and should pay particular attention to the information set forth in
"Section III. Risk Factors and Other Considerations" and "Section IV. Conflicts of Interest." The AlphaKeys
Fund will invest substantially all of its capital in limited partner interests in Blackstone Real Estate Partners
Europe V L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the "Underlying Fund"). For a more detailed
description of the Underlying Fund, see the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of the Underlying
Fund attached hereto as Appendix A (as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, each as
provided by Blackstone, collectively, the "Underlying Fund Memorandum"). Notwithstanding the foregoing
or anything to the contrary herein, investors in the AlphaKeys Fund will not be limited partners in the
Underlying Fund and an investment in the Interests is not an investment in the Underlying Fund. By its
acceptance hereof, each recipient agrees that this Memorandum may not be reproduced or distributed to
others (except to the recipient's professional advisors) without the prior written consent of the AlphaKeys
Fund, and that the recipient and his or her professional advisors will keep permanently confidential all
information contained in this Memorandum not already in the public domain and will use this
Memorandum for the sole purpose of evaluating a possible investment in the AlphaKeys Fund. No person
has been authorized to make any statement concerning the AlphaKeys Fund or the offering being made by
this Memorandum, other than as set forth herein, and any such statements, if made, may not be relied
upon.
The AlphaKeys Fund is member-managed. UBS Fund Advisor, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company
(the "Administrator") has been appointed as Administrator to the AlphaKeys Fund. Further, under the LLC
Agreement (as defined below), the Members of the AlphaKeys Fund appoint UBS Fund Advisor, L.L.C.
("UBSFA") as Member Designee (as defined in the LLC Agreement). The Administrator is a direct, wholly
owned subsidiary of UBS Americas, which, in turn, is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG (together
with its affiliates, "UBS").
Prospective investors should not construe the contents of this Memorandum as legal, investment, tax or
other advice. Prospective investors should conduct their own investigation and evaluation of the investment
offered hereby. Each prospective investor should consult and rely on his or her own attorneys, business and
tax advisors as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning this offering and its suitability for such
prospective investor. Each investor will be required to stipulate in his, her or its Investor Application (as
defined below) relating to its investment in the AlphaKeys Fund that he, she, or it has not relied upon the
AlphaKeys Fund, UBS Financial Services Inc., the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund General Partner, the
Underlying Fund Adviser or any of their affiliates, for tax or legal advice and that the investor has relied only
on his, her or its own advisor for tax and legal advice.
My losses by the AlphaKeys Fund will be borne solely by the Members (as defined below) and not by the
Administrator, or its affiliates; therefore, UBSFA's and its affiliates' or subsidiaries' losses in the AlphaKeys
Fund will be limited to losses attributable to the Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund held by UBSFA and its
affiliates or subsidiaries in their capacity as members in the AlphaKeys Fund.
An investment in the AlphaKeys Fund is speculative and involves significant risks and conflicts of interest.
cc 'S,E.ction Ir. is: t 7Ctcr< zit Other Considerations" and "Section IV. Conflicts of Interest" below. Both
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001775
EFTA00237406
the AlphaKeys Fund and the Underlying Fund are intended for long-term investors who can accept the
significant risks associated with investing in illiquid assets. Accordingly, an investment in the AlphaKeys
Fund should only be considered by persons who can afford a loss of their entire investment and Members
should maintain sufficient liquid assets to meet capital call obligations and manage short-term and long-
term cash needs. No assurance can be given that the investment objectives of the AlphaKeys Fund or the
Underlying Fund will be achieved. Investors should understand the risks associated with an investment in
the AlphaKeys Fund and have the financial ability and willingness to accept such risks for an indefinite
period of time. Tax-exempt investors may recognize a significant amount of unrelated-business taxable
income ("UBTI") as defined in Section 512 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") as a result of an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund and, accordingly, are strongly urged to consult
their own tax advisors regarding the advisability of an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund. See "Section V.
Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" below.
The information contained in this Memorandum has been prepared by the AlphaKeys Fund. None of the
Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund General Partner or the Underlying Fund Adviser (each as defined in
the "Introduction" below), or The Blackstone Group L.P. and/or its affiliates ("Blackstone") or their
respective affiliates (i) has participated in the offering of interests of the AlphaKeys Fund or (ii) is responsible
for such offering of interests of the AlphaKeys Fund, the operation of the AlphaKeys Fund or the contents of
this Memorandum, the AlphaKeys Fund's governing documents, the AlphaKeys Fund's Investor Application
(as defined below), related agreements and instruments or any accompanying sales documentation, each as
amended or supplemented.
Purchasers of the interests offered hereby will not be limited partners of the Underlying Fund, will have no
voting rights or direct interest in the Underlying Fund and will have no standing or recourse against the
Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund General Partner, the Underlying Fund Adviser, Blackstone, their
respective affiliates or any of their respective general partners, investment advisers, officers, directors,
employees, partners or members. Purchasers of the interests will not be parties to the operating documents
of the Underlying Fund (as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the "Underlying Fund
Operating Document") and, will not have any rights thereunder and may not bring a direct action on their
own behalf against the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund General Partner, the Underlying Fund Adviser,
Blackstone, any of their respective affiliates or any of their respective general partners, investment advisors,
officers, directors, employees, partners or members for any breach thereof. The interests offered hereby are
interests in the AlphaKeys Fund, not the Underlying Fund, and the offering of interests in the AlphaKeys
Fund does not constitute, and should not be considered, a direct or indirect offering of interests in the
Underlying Fund. Although the AlphaKeys Fund is being established to invest in the Underlying Fund, it is
not an affiliate of the Underlying Fund and will be administered solely by the Administrator or its affiliates.
Potential purchasers of interests should note that none of the AlphaKeys Fund, the Administrator, UBS or
any of their respective affiliates have the power to legally bind or commit the Underlying Fund, the
Underlying Fund General Partner, the Underlying Fund Adviser, Blackstone, or their respective affiliates.
All statements in this Memorandum regarding the Underlying Fund and its terms, the Underlying Fund
General Partner or the Underlying Fund Adviser are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Underlying
Fund Memorandum, which is subject to change. The terms of the Underlying Fund may be subject to
continuing negotiation with prospective investors who invest directly in the Underlying Fund and may be
different from those summarized herein or provided in the materials referenced herein. A prospective
investor should not invest unless it is able to sustain the loss of all or a significant portion of its investment.
Offers of interests will be made only pursuant to this Memorandum. Offering literature in any form
whatsoever employed in connection with the offering and sale of interests is subject to, and is superseded
by, this Memorandum and, to the extent applicable with respect to any terms applicable to the Underlying

Fund, the Underlying Fund Operating Document. In the event of any conflict between this Memorandum or
the Underlying Fund Operating Document, on the one hand, and any other offering literature, on the other
hand, this Memorandum (or with respect to any terms applicable to the Underlying Fund, the Underlying
Fund Operating Document) shall control. No person has been authorized to give any information or to
make any representation other than those contained in this Memorandum, and, if given or made, such
information should not be relied upon as having been authorized by the AlphaKeys Fund, the Member
Designee, the Administrator, the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund General Partner, the Underlying
Fund Adviser or any of their respective affiliates.
The information regarding the AlphaKeys Fund and the Underlying Fund contained herein is provided on a
confidential basis and by accepting delivery of this Memorandum and the Underlying Fund Memorandum
attached hereto, the recipient agrees to keep such information confidential and to use it solely for the
purpose of evaluating an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund. Notwithstanding anything else in this
Memorandum to the contrary, the Members may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any
kind, information regarding the tax treatment, tax structure and tax strategies of the AlphaKeys Fund, the
offering of its interests and its transactions all within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation § 1.6011-
4(b)(3). For the avoidance of doubt, this authorization is not intended to permit disclosure of the names of,
or other identifying information regarding, the participants in this offering, or of any information or the
portion of any materials not relevant to the tax treatment, tax structure or tax strategies of the offering.
Certain information contained in this Memorandum relating to Blackstone, the Underlying Fund,
the Underlying Fund General Partner, the Underlying Fund Adviser and their affiliates has been
derived by UBS Financial Services Inc. from materials furnished on behalf of the Underlying Fund.
Such information (a) has not been independently verified by the AlphaKeys Fund, the Member
Designee, the Administrator or any of their respective affiliates and (b) does not necessarily
reflect the views or opinions of UBS. Moreover, none of the AlphaKeys Fund, the Member
Designee, the Administrator or any of their respective affiliates has the right to participate in the
control, management or operations of the Underlying Fund, nor has any discretion over the
management of the Underlying Fund. None of the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund General
Partner, the Underlying Fund Adviser or any of their respective affiliates make any representation
or warranty (whether express or implied) regarding, and expressly disclaims any liability or
responsibility for the fairness, correctness, accuracy, reasonableness or completeness of any of the
information set forth herein other than with respect to the Underlying Fund Memorandum. None
of the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund General Partner, the Underlying Fund Adviser or any
of their respective affiliates are responsible for the formation or operation of the AlphaKeys Fund.
None of Blackstone, the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund General Partner, the Underlying
Fund's investment advisor, agents or affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, partners or members are affiliates of the AlphaKeys Fund, the Member Designee or
the Administrator or have endorsed or make any recommendations of the AlphaKeys Fund.
Descriptions of any rights, benefits and effects described in the Underlying Fund Memorandum
will inure to the benefit of, and/or apply to, the AlphaKeys Fund as a whole and not to the
Members in the AlphaKeys Fund.
Actual realized returns on unrealized investments will depend on, among other factors, future
operating results, the value of the assets, and market conditions at the time of disposition, legal
and contractual restrictions, any related transaction costs, and the timing and manner of sale, all
of which may differ from the assumptions and circumstances on which the valuations used in the
prior performance data contained in the Underlying Fund Memorandum are based. Accordingly,
the actual realized returns on these unrealized investments may differ materially from the returns
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001777
EFTA00237408
indicated therein. In considering any performance information contained therein, prospective
investors should bear in mind that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results,
and there can be no assurance that the Underlying Fund or the AlphaKeys Fund will achieve
comparable results or that the Underlying Fund will be able to implement its investment strategy,
achieve its investment objectives or avoid substantial losses.
This Memorandum and the Underlying Fund Memorandum contain forward-looking statements. Forward-
looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, including statements about beliefs and
expectations. Any statement in this Memorandum or the Underlying Fund Memorandum that contains
intentions, beliefs, expectations or predictions (and the assumptions underlying them) is a forward-looking
statement. These assumptions are based on plans, estimates, and projections, as they are currently
available. Forward-looking statements therefore speak only as of the date they are made, and none of the
Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund General Partner, Blackstone, the Underlying Fund Adviser, the
AlphaKeys Fund, the Member Designee, the Administrator or any of their respective affiliates undertakes to
update any of them in light of new information or future events. Forward-looking statements involve
inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could therefore cause actual results of the
AlphaKeys Fund or the Underlying Fund to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statement. See "Section III. Risk Factors and Other Considerations" and "Section IV. Conflicts of Interest."
As used in this Memorandum, an "affiliate" of any person or entity will include any person controlling,
controlled by or under common control with such person.
The Underlying Fund Memorandum includes a variety of performance information relating to the
Underlying Fund and other investment vehicles managed by the Underlying Fund General Partner
and/or the Underlying Fund Adviser. Information presented about other funds or selected
investments made by the Underlying Fund General Partner and/or the Underlying Fund Adviser,
while informative regarding the experience of the Underlying Fund General Partner and/or the
Underlying Fund Adviser, are not indicative of, and in some cases may be irrelevant to, an
assessment of the potential performance or investments of the AlphaKeys Fund (in connection
with its investment in the Underlying Fund). While reviewing the performance information set
forth in the Appendix to the Underlying Fund Memorandum, investors should pay particular
attention to the net return information provided in the endnotes to such Appendix.
PERFORMANCE SHOWN IN THE UNDERLYING FUND MEMORANDUM IS NOT THAT OF THE
ALPHAKEYS FUND. THE PERFORMANCE SHOWN IS NOT NET OF ADDITIONAL FEES THAT WILL BE
CHARGED AT THE ALPHAKEYS FUND LEVEL. The returns of the AlphaKeys Fund will be lower, and
may be materially lower than the returns at the Underlying Fund level. Performance shown in the
Underlying Fund Memorandum does not include AlphaKeys Fund-level Fees and Expenses or the
Placement Fee (if charged), as each is defined below. Such fees will reduce returns. Returns for
the AlphaKeys Fund may also differ from the returns of the Underlying Fund as a result of funds
invested in Temporary Investments (as defined below) by the AlphaKeys Fund and delayed
distributions by the AlphaKeys Fund to its investors.
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, will have any legal effect.
Interests are being offered exclusively to investors who meet the qualification standards set forth
in this Memorandum, with a minimum Capital Commitment (as defined below) of $250,000,
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001778
EFTA00237409
subject to the discretion of the Member Designee to accept lesser amounts or raise the minimum
Capital Commitment, as described herein.
Except where otherwise indicated, the information contained in this Memorandum has been compiled as of
the date set forth in this Memorandum, and information regarding the Underlying Fund is as of the date set
forth in the Underlying Fund Memorandum. None of the AlphaKeys Fund, the Underlying Fund, the
Underlying Fund General Partner, the Underlying Fund Adviser, the Member Designee, the Administrator or
any of their respective affiliates has any obligation to update any portion of this Memorandum. Under no
circumstances should the delivery of this Memorandum, irrespective of when it is made, create any
implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the AlphaKeys Fund, the Underlying Fund, the
Member Designee, the Administrator or any of their respective affiliates since such date.
This Memorandum is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy an Interest, nor will any Interest
be offered or sold, to any person in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, purchase or sale would
be unlawful under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Interests may not be offered or
sold, directly or indirectly, and this Memorandum may not be distributed in any jurisdiction, except in
accordance with the legal requirements applicable to such jurisdiction. The AlphaKeys Fund reserves the
right to modify any of the terms of the offering and the Interests described herein. This Memorandum will
remain the property of the AlphaKeys Fund. The AlphaKeys Fund reserves the right to require the return of
this Memorandum at any time from prospective investors who do not purchase Interests in the AlphaKeys
Fund.

of the Code (as described below).

I. INTRODUCTION
AlphaKeys European Real Estate Opportunities Fund II, L.L.C. (the "AlphaKeys Fund") a newly
formed Delaware limited liability company, is a private investment fund established by UBS Fund
Advisor, L.L.C., the AlphaKeys Fund's member designee (the "Member Designee") to invest
substantially all of its capital in limited partnership interests in Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe
V M. (the "Underlying Fund"). Blackstone Real Estate Associates Europe V M. serves as the
Underlying Fund's general partner (the "Underlying Fund General Partner") and Blackstone Real
Estate Advisors M, has been appointed to provide advisory and management services to the
Underlying Fund (the "Underlying Fund Adviser").
The AlphaKeys Fund will invest in the Underlying Fund. There can be no assurance that the
investment objectives of the AlphaKeys Fund or the Underlying Fund will be achieved, that such
funds will be able to implement their respective investment strategies, or avoid substantial losses.
For a more detailed description of Blackstone, the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund General
Partner and the Underlying Fund Adviser, see the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of
the Underlying Fund, attached hereto as Appendix A (as the same has been amended, restated or
supplemented from time to time, each as provided by Blackstone, collectively, the "Underlying Fund
Memorandum"). None of the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund General Partner, the
Underlying Fund Adviser, Blackstone and their respective affiliates are responsible for the formation
or operation of the AlphaKeys Fund. The offering of interests in the AlphaKeys Fund should not be
considered an offering of interests in the Underlying Fund. None of the Underlying Fund, the
Underlying Fund General Partner, the Underlying Fund Adviser, Blackstone or any of their respective
affiliates, officers, directors, employees, partners or members have endorsed or make any
recommendations of the AlphaKeys Fund. None of the AlphaKeys Fund, the Member Designee, the
Administrator or any of their respective affiliates makes any endorsement or recommendation of the
Underlying Fund and the establishment of the AlphaKeys Fund to invest in the Underlying Fund does
not constitute such endorsement or recommendation.
Each investor admitted to the AlphaKeys Fund (each a "Member") at a closing (a "Closing") will be
required to make an initial payment on or prior to the Initial Closing or upon a Subsequent Closing
or as otherwise determined by the Member Designee equal to a percentage of its capital
commitment to the AlphaKeys Fund (a "Capital Commitment") as specified by the Member
Designee as will enable the AlphaKeys Fund to fund its initial capital contribution and other
obligations with respect to the Underlying Fund and to pay organizational expenses and other fees
and expenses incurred by the AlphaKeys Fund. Thereafter, the Member Designee may make calls for
the remaining portion of the Capital Commitment of each Member and capital calls with respect to
Excess Contributions (as defined below) on not less than five (5) calendar days' prior notice, provided
however, to the extent the Underlying Fund calls for a contribution to the Underlying Fund on less
than five (5) calendar days notice, the AlphaKeys Fund may call capital from its investors on less than
five (5) calendar days notice to satisfy its obligations to the Underlying Fund. Capital Commitments
and calls for Excess Contributions (as defined below) will be denominated in U.S. dollars.
A Member may be required to make capital contributions to the AlphaKeys Fund ("Capital
Contributions") in an amount in excess of its Capital Commitment (a) in the event the
AlphaKeys Fund has to make capital contributions or other payments to the Underlying
Fund in excess of the AlphaKeys Fund's capital commitment to the Underlying Fund, (b) for
any AlphaKeys Fund-level fees and expenses applicable to such Member at the AlphaKeys
Fund level, including, without limitation, the administrative fee paid to UBSFA as described
under "Administrative Fee" below) and other Fund Expenses (as defined under "Other Fees
and Expenses" below) (collectively, the "AlphaKeys Fund-level Fees and Expenses") or (c)
any tax payments made by the AlphaKeys Fund on behalf of such Member (or interest or
penalties associated therewith). In addition, it is expected that each Member will be
ER305378-MAXWELL -1-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001782
EFTA00237413
required to make contributions to the AlphaKeys Fund in excess of its Capital Commitment
to pay the management fee charged by the Underlying Fund as set forth in the Underlying
Fund Memorandum (the "Underlying Fund Management Fee") and certain Underlying Fund
organizational expenses, as set forth in the Underlying Fund Memorandum. The excess
Capital Contributions described above are referred to herein as "Excess Contributions."
The AlphaKeys Fund may invest all Capital Commitments in the Underlying Fund. As a
result, the extent to which a Member will be required to make certain Excess Contributions
will depend on the percentage of aggregate capital commitments called by the Underlying
Fund (for example, if the Underlying Fund calls 100% of commitments, each Member's
share, if any, of applicable AlphaKeys Fund-level Fees and Expenses and the Underlying
Fund Management Fee and Underlying Fund organizational expenses would be in addition
to such Member's Capital Commitment). In addition, a Member may also be required to
pay a Placement Fee (as defined below), as discussed in further detail below.
Pending investment in the Underlying Fund or as the Member Designee otherwise determines is
necessary or prudent in its sole discretion, including for payment of fees and expenses (as described
herein), the AlphaKeys Fund may invest in Temporary Investments (as defined below).
Investor Applications
The offering made hereby of limited liability company interests (the " nterests") in the AlphaKeys
Fund is made only to the person to whom this Memorandum has been delivered provided such
person is a UBS client and an Eligible Purchaser (as defined below). Each Member ordinarily will be
required to make a Capital Commitment of not less than $250,000 to the AlphaKeys Fund, subject
to the discretion of the AlphaKeys Fund to accept Capital Commitments of a lesser amount or raise
the minimum Capital Commitment. The AlphaKeys Fund may vary the investment minimums from
time to time. The AlphaKeys Fund reserves the right to accept or reject any investor application
("investor Molicatiork") for Interests or the application of any Member wishing to increase its
existing Capital Commitment. Charitable remainder trusts will not be admitted to the AlphaKeys
Fund and generally, the AlphaKeys Fund will not accept Capital Commitments from any Individual
Retirement Accounts. An "Eligible Purchaser" must be: (i) a qualified purchaser under the
Investment Company Act (as defined below), (ii) an accredited investor under the Securities Act (as
defined below), and (iii) a U.S. Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (as
described below), unless otherwise permitted by law.
Members will be charged by the Placement Agent (as defined below) a Placement Fee (as defined
below) of two percent (2%) of the Members' respective Capital Commitments, subject to waiver by
the Placement Agent in limited circumstances. The Placement Agent may reallocate all or a portion
of such Placement Fee to a Member's financial advisor or other securities dealers participating in the
placement of Interests. The Placement Fee will be in addition to any Capital Contributions a
Member is required to make to the AlphaKeys Fund and will not reduce its Capital Commitment,
including for the purposes of determining such Member's Sharing Percentage (as defined below).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Member who is a client of UBS
Financial Services Inc. ("UBSFS") and invests in the AlphaKeys Fund through an Advisory Program (as
defined below) will be issued Advisory Class limited liability company interests and will not be
charged a Placement Fee or an Administrative Fee (as defined below).
Each Member (including permitted transferees) will be obligated to agree to be bound by all
of the terms of the LLC Agreement. Each potential investor also will be obligated to
represent and warrant in the Investor Application, among other things, that 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.

II. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE ALPHAKEYS FUND
The following is a summary of the principal terms of AlphaKeys European Real Estate Opportunities
Fund ll, C.L.C. (the "AlohaKevs Fund"). This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Limited Liability Company Agreement of the AlphaKeys Fund (as amended from time to time, the
"L(C Agreement") and the investor application (the "Investor Application"), both of which should
be reviewed carefully prior to making an investment decision. The offer made hereby is subject to
modification, prior sale and withdrawal. Certain information contained in this Memorandum
relating to Blackstone, the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund General Partner and the Underlying
Fund Adviser has been derived by UBS Financial Services Inc. from materials furnished on behalf of
the Underlying Fund. For a more detailed description of Blackstone, the Underlying Fund, the
Underlying Fund General Partner and the Underlying Fund Adviser, see the Confidential Private
Placement Memorandum of the Underlying Fund and any supplements thereto, attached hereto as
Appendix A (collectively, the "Underlying FundMemorandum).

Fund liability company (the "AlphaKeys Fund") a newly created entity.

Operations Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the "Underlying Fund"). For a
more detailed description of the Underlying Fund, see the Underlying Fund
Memorandum. The Underlying Fund may offer multiple classes of interests. The
AlphaKeys Fund may allocate to any dass of interests in the Underlying Fund in
the sole discretion of the Administrator without prior notice or consent. The
Underlying Fund may, in its sole discretion, require the AlphaKeys Fund to hold
its interest in the Underlying Fund through a separate alternative investment
vehicle, parallel fund or feeder fund that would have substantially similar terms
as the Underlying Fund, as further described in the Underlying Fund
Memorandum attached hereto as Appendix A.
The AlphaKeys Fund will invest in the Underlying Fund. As more fully described
in the Underlying Fund Memorandum, the principal investment objective of the
Underlying Fund is to make control-oriented "opportunistic" real estate
investments, primarily in Europe, by investing in equity, debt or other interests in,
or relating to, real estate assets of any type or real estate companies and real-
estate related companies. There can be no assurance that the investment
objectives of the AlphaKeys Fund or the Underlying Fund will be achieved, that
such funds will be able to implement their respective investment strategies or
avoid substantial losses.
The Underlying Fund Memorandum should be read carefully by all prospective
investors.
Classes of The AlphaKeys Fund currently offers two classes of limited liability company
Interests interests; the Brokerage Class and the Advisory Class. Members that invest
through the UBS "Institutional Consulting Program" or another UBS investment
advisory program that is approved for investment into the AlphaKeys Fund by
UBSFA (an "Advisory Program"), and pursuant to which UBS or its affiliates will

Fund, will be Members of the Advisory Class. All other Members will be
admitted into the Brokerage Class. Unless otherwise specified herein, references
to "Members" shall indude Members of both the Brokerage Class and the
ER305378-MAXWELL -3-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001784

Advisory Class.
The AlphaKeys Fund may, in its sole discretion and from time to time, establish
additional dasses of interests that may differ in terms of, among other things,
the timing and amount of fees charged, distribution rights and other terms. In
particular, the AlphaKeys Fund may establish an additional class of preferred
equity interests (which may be held by the Member Designee (as defined below)
or an affiliate thereof) that may differ in terms of, among other things, a priority
with respect to distributions and in dissolution, the right to a preferred return,
the right to receive certain cash proceeds, different voting rights, the timing and
amount of fees charged and withdrawal rights.
Administrator The AlphaKeys Fund is member-managed for purposes of Delaware law.
and Member Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the investors have appointed UBS Fund Advisor,
Designee L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, to act as "Member Designee" (in
such capacity, the "Member Designee") and, accordingly, have delegated all of
their rights, powers, duties and obligations to manage and control the business
and affairs of the AlphaKeys Fund to the Member Designee; provided, that the
investors have not delegated (i) their rights to vote on amendments to the LLC
Agreement, to the extent applicable, (ii) their right under the LLC Agreement to
call a meeting of the investors; or (iii) their rights under the LLC Agreement to
vote to terminate the Administrative Services Agreement and/or to revoke the
delegation of rights and powers to the Member Designee (as further described
herein).
In addition, UBS Fund Advisor, L.L.C. has been appointed by the investors to
provide certain administrative and 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").
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
its affiliates provide certain administrative and investment advisory services to
registered and unregistered investment funds and individual accounts. The
Administrator or an affiliate may hold a nominal Interest in, and may be an
investor of, the AlphaKeys Fund.
The Administrator is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of UBS Americas, Inc.
("UBS Americas") which, in turn, is a wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG, a
Swiss bank. The Placement Agent, 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 (800) 486-2608.
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 Member Designee of
the AlphaKeys Fund is authorized to grant consent on behalf of the AlphaKeys
Fund. The Member Designee will provide written notice to the Members in the
event that it grants consent to an assignment. Because the Member Designee
and the Administrator are currently the same entity, it is unlikely that the
Member Designee will withhold consent to an assignment proposed by the
ER305378-MAXWELL -4-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001785
EFTA00237416
Administrator.
In addition, the Administrator may resign as Member Designee of the AlphaKeys
Fund and cause another individual or entity to be appointed as the replacement
member designee 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 consent of the AlphaKeys Fund.
The Administrator may be removed as the Member Designee of the AlphaKeys
Fund and/or the Administrative Services Agreement may be terminated upon the
vote of at least a majority-in-interest of Members who are not affiliates of the
Administrator ("Unaffiliated Members") at a meeting of the Members called for
such purpose as further described in the LLC Agreement; provided, however,
that the Members must first arrange to delegate such rights and powers to
manage the AlphaKeys Fund to a Qualified Replacement (as defined in the LLC
Agreement) approved by the Administrator. A substitute member designee
and/or administrator may be appointed upon the vote of at least a majority-in-
interest of the Unaffiliated Members. In certain circumstances, the LLC
Agreement permits the Administrator to reduce a Member's voting or approval
rights.
Administrative Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, the Administrator will receive
Fee an annual fee (the "Administrative Fee") commencing on the initial closing date
of the AlphaKeys Fund (the "Initial Closing Date") with respect to each Member
equal to (a) 1.00% of such Member's Capital Commitment if such Member's
Capital Commitment is less than $3 million, (b) 0.75% of such Member's Capital
Commitment if such Member's Capital Commitment is $3 million or more but
less than $10 million, or (c) 0.50% of such Member's Capital Commitment if
such Member's Capital Commitment is $10 million or more, calculated as if each
Member were admitted to the AlphaKeys Fund as of the Initial Closing Date.
After the expiration of the Underlying Fund Investment Period (as defined below)
(the "investment Period Expiration Date") the Administrative Fee payable by the
AlphaKeys Fund will be computed based on the percentages described above
attributable to each Member's Capital Commitment, but with such percentage
applied to each Member's Capital Contributions used to fund investments by the
AlphaKeys Fund that have not been sold or otherwise disposed of (directly or
indirectly through the Underlying Fund) and the proceeds thereof that have not
been returned by the Underlying Fund to the AlphaKeys Fund. For purposes of
calculating the Administrative Fee after the Investment Period Expiration Date,
each Member may be deemed to have made Capital Contributions in respect of
binding commitments to make investments.
The Administrative Fee is not paid to the Administrator by those Members of the
Advisory Class, from whom UBSFS or its affiliates will receive a fee directly. If, at
any time, a Member terminates its participation in an Advisory Program and
therefore, UBSFS or its affiliates no longer receive a fee from such Member in
respect of such Member's ownership of Interests (as defined below) in the
AlphaKeys Fund, then the AlphaKeys Fund may convert that Member's Interests
in the Advisory Class into Brokerage Class Interests and the Administrative Fee
payable in respect of such Member may, as of the date of the termination of
such Advisory Program, be calculated as described above for Members of the
Brokerage Class.
For purposes of calculating the Administrative Fee, any amount contributed by a
ER305378-MAXWELL -5-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001786
EFTA00237417
Member in excess of its Capital Commitment will not be included in such
Member's Capital Commitment or the calculation of such Member's Capital
Contributions.
The Administrative Fee will be in addition to the fees and expenses charged by
the Underlying Fund (including without limitation the Underlying Fund
Management Fee and the Underlying Fund Carried Interest Distribution (each as
defined below)).
The Administrator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer or waive all or
any portion of the Administrative Fee with respect to a Member, including
employees, officers and directors of the Administrator and its affiliates. The
Administrator may also vary the terms of the Administrative Fee with respect to a
particular class of Interests, in the Administrator's sole discretion. The
Administrative Fee will not apply to any Capital Commitments made by the
Administrator or its affiliates. The Administrative Fee is in addition to and
separate from the amounts payable by the AlphaKeys Fund to other third parties
engaged on behalf of the AlphaKeys Fund.
The Administrator will be responsible for the payment of its own ordinary
operating expenses relating to its duties under the Administrative Services
Agreement, including salaries of its employees, occupancy costs and other
general overhead, but not including the fees and expenses of any consultants
that the Administrator may hire on behalf of the AlphaKeys Fund. The
AlphaKeys Fund will reimburse the Administrator or its affiliates for any expenses
incurred by the Administrator or its affiliates in connection with the
Administrator's services under the Administrative Services Agreement.
Placement Fee A Member will be charged a placement fee by UBS Financial Services Inc., an
affiliate of the Administrator (the "Placement Agent") of two percent (2%) in
the aggregate of such Member's Capital Commitment (the "Placement Fee")
subject to waiver by the Placement Agent in limited circumstances. The
Placement Agent may reallocate all or a portion of the Placement Fee to a
Member's financial advisor or other securities dealers participating in the
placement of Interests. The Placement Fee will be in addition to any Capital
Contributions such Member is required to make to the AlphaKeys Fund and will
not reduce such Member's Capital Commitment, induding for purposes of
determining such Member's Sharing Percentage (as defined below).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Advisory Class
Member will not be charged a Placement Fee.
The Administrator and the Placement Agent intend to compensate the Placement
Agent's financial advisors, as well as others, for their ongoing servicing of clients
with whom they have placed Interests. Such compensation will be payable out
of the Administrative Fee.
Organizational The AlphaKeys Fund will bear all legal and other costs and expenses incurred in
and Offering connection with the organization of the AlphaKeys Fund and the offering of
Expenses Interests (including certain costs and expenses of the Placement Agent as further
described in the LLC Agreement).
Other Fees and The AlphaKeys Fund will pay (and the Members will bear) all costs, expenses and
ER305378-MAXWELL -6-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001787
EFTA00237418
Expenses liabilities in connection with its operations and the investment of its assets,
including, without limitation: organizational, offering and related expenses; fees,
costs and expenses related to the purchase, holding and sale of investments in
the Underlying Fund (which will involve the payment of fees and expenses in
addition to the Administrative Fee), and Temporary Investments (as defined
below); interest and other expenses related to any AlphaKeys Fund borrowings,
costs of compliance with any applicable federal or state laws; taxes; tax
preparation fees; fees and expenses of consultants, accountants and legal
counsel; all costs and expenses of computing the value of the AlphaKeys Fund's
assets, induding any appraisal and valuation services provided by third parties;
investor servicing and accounting expenses; fees and expenses related to
maintenance of books and records (including investment reporting), insurance or
mailings; printing costs; marketing expenses; extraordinary expenses (such as
litigation and indemnification of the Member Designee, the Administrator and
their affiliates); costs and expenses of any feeder vehicle organized to invest in
the AlphaKeys Fund, including any organizational expenses thereof; any other
out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Member Designee, the
Administrator and any service providers; any amounts necessary to fund a
Defaulting Member's Defaulted Amount (each as defined below) (including the
amount of any borrowing) and any costs associated with the foregoing in the
event the AlphaKeys Fund is unable to recover such amounts from the Defaulting
Member (see "—Default" below)) (all of the foregoing together, the "Fund
Expenses").
In addition to the foregoing Fund Expenses, Members will bear, directly or
indirectly, the cost of the AlphaKeys Fund's pro rata share of the fees and
expenses of the Underlying Fund as described below in "Underlying Fund
Management Fee; Other Fees."
Underlying As described in detail in the Underlying Fund Memorandum, during the
Fund Underlying Fund Investment Period (as defined below), the Underlying Fund
Management Adviser will be entitled to receive a management fee (the "Underlying Fund
Fee; Other Fees Management Fee"), payable quarterly, at an annual rate of (i) until the end of
the Underlying Fund Investment Period, 1.5% of the AlphaKeys Fund's capital
commitment and (ii) thereafter (or upon the occurrence of certain other
triggering events, whichever occurs first), 1.5% of the AlphaKeys Fund's capital
contributions with respect to portfolio investments that have not been disposed
of as of the first day of the relevant quarter or during the preceding quarter.
In addition to the Underlying Fund Management Fee, each Member of the
AlphaKeys Fund will be required to pay their pro rata portion of other fees and
expenses charged at the Underlying Fund-level as further described in the
Underlying Fund Memorandum (collectively, the "Underlying Fund-level Fees and
Expenses").
Underlying As described in detail in the Underlying Fund Memorandum, the Underlying Fund
Fund Carried General Partner is entitled to receive "carried interest" distributions equal to
Interest 20% of the Underlying Fund's net profits, subject to an eight percent (8)%
Distributions preferred return with a full catch up provision for the Underlying Fund General
Partner (the "Underlying Fund Carried Interest Distribution"). The actual amount
of any such carried interest payment is based in part upon the Underlying Fund's
achievement of certain returns.
Term This is a long-term investment and Members have no right to withdraw from the
AlphaKeys Fund prior to its dissolution. Both the AlphaKeys Fund and the
ER305378-MAXWELL -7-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001788
EFTA00237419
Underlying Fund are intended for investors who can accept the significant risks
associated with investing in illiquid assets. Accordingly, an investment in the
AlphaKeys Fund should only be considered by persons who can afford a loss of
their entire investment and Members should maintain sufficient liquid assets to
meet capital call obligations and manage short-term and long-term cash needs.
The term of the AlphaKeys Fund is expected to end as soon as practicable after
the termination of the Underlying Fund. In the event that the Member Designee
determines for any reason, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to invest in the
Underlying Fund, including, without limitation, due to an insufficient amount of
Capital Commitments, the Member Designee may cause the AlphaKeys Fund to
be wound up as soon as is reasonably practicable.
Underlying The investment period for which the Underlying Fund may generally call capital
Fund to fund new investments (the "Underlying Fund Investment Period") will expire
Investment upon the earlier of five and a half (5.5) years from the effective date of the
Period Underlying Fund or upon the occurrence of certain other events described in
further detail in the Underlying Fund Memorandum. In addition, the Underlying
Fund may call capital after the expiration or termination of the Underlying Fund
Investment Period for certain investments and fees and expenses of the
Underlying Fund, all as described in detail in the Underlying Fund Memorandum.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Member Designee may make capital calls
throughout the term of the AlphaKeys Fund.
Eligible Interests are being offered exclusively to persons that are UBS clients and
Purchasers "Eligible Purchasers," as defined below. The AlphaKeys Fund reserves the right
to accept or reject the application of any investor wishing to make a Capital
Commitment.
In order to be considered an "Eligible Purchaser " an investor must be: (i) a
qualified purchaser (a "Qualified Purchaser") under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), (ii) an accredited investor
(an "Accredited Investor") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and (iii) a U.S. Person (a "U.S. Person") within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(3O) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") unless otherwise permitted by law. As a result, an investment in the
AlphaKeys Fund will generally be limited to individuals owning at least $5 million
in investment securities ($25 million in the case of institutions). For more
descriptive definitions of Qualified Purchaser, Accredited Investor, and U.S.
Person, see "Section VI. Regulatory Considerations" and "Section V. Certain
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations". Charitable remainder trusts
will not be admitted to the AlphaKeys Fund and generally, the AlphaKeys Fund
will not accept Capital Commitments from any Individual Retirement Accounts
("IRAs"). Potential investors seeking to invest through an IRA should speak to
their financial advisor.
Capital The minimum capital commitment to be made to the AlphaKeys Fund (a "Capital
Commitments Commitment") by any investor is $250,000, subject to the discretion of the
AlphaKeys Fund to accept a Capital Commitment of a lesser amount or impose a
higher minimum Capital Commitment.
In addition to the Capital Commitment set forth in each Member's investor
application, each Member will be required to make additional Capital
Contributions as described in "Capital Calls" below.
Subscriptions The initial closing of the sale of Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund will occur on
ER305378-MAXWELL -8-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001789
EFTA00237420
and Closings such date as the Member Designee may determine (the "Initial Closing").
The Member Designee may from time to time after the Initial Closing elect to
hold one or more additional dosings (each a "Subsequent Closing" and together
with the Initial Closing, "Closings") as necessary, to accommodate the
admission of additional Members.
Subsequent Each Member that is admitted to the AlphaKeys Fund or increases its Capital
Closings Commitment in a Subsequent Closing (each, a "Subseauent Member") will
generally participate in all investments previously made by the AlphaKeys Fund,
other than Temporary Investments, and will bear its proportionate share of the
AlphaKeys Fund-level Fees and Expenses and the Underlying Fund-level Fees and
Expenses, other than those related to such Temporary Investments, as though
such Subsequent Member had been admitted at the Initial Closing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that, as a result of the admission of
a Subsequent Member to the AlphaKeys Fund, (i) the AlphaKeys Fund increases
its capital commitment to the Underlying Fund and (ii) the Underlying Fund
precludes the AlphaKeys Fund from increasing its participation in the Underlying
Fund's existing investments as a result of such increased capital commitment, the
Member Designee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, cause such
Subsequent Member not to participate in the portion of the AlphaKeys Fund's
capital commitment to the Underlying Fund that relates to the Underlying Fund's
existing investments.
In connection with its admission or increase in its Capital Commitment, a
Subsequent Member will make a Capital Contribution to the AlphaKeys Fund as
described under "Capital Calls" below.
To the extent that, as a result of the admission of a Subsequent Member to the
AlphaKeys Fund, the AlphaKeys Fund increases its commitment to the Underlying
Fund and the AlphaKeys Fund incurs costs associated with such increased
commitment to the Underlying Fund, including any interest payable to the
Underlying Fund or their investors, each Member will bear its share of such
additional costs irrespective of whether such Member was admitted to the
AlphaKeys Fund at a Closing prior to the Subsequent Closing at which such
Subsequent Member was admitted to the AlphaKeys Fund; provided that, the
Member Designee may, in its sole discretion, determine to specifically allocate
any such costs to the Member in respect of which such costs were incurred in
which event the Member Designee also may elect to allocate any interest
received from the Underlying Fund relating to such Subsequent Members to the
Members that made contributions for such investments. Such additional costs
will be in addition to the AlphaKeys Fund's capital commitment to the
Underlying Fund and therefore each Member may be required to make Excess
Contributions (as defined below) in respect of such amounts. Furthermore, to
the extent the Underlying Fund admits additional limited partners after the
admission of the AlphaKeys Fund to the Underlying Fund, the admission of such
subsequent limited partners may have an impact on the AlphaKeys Fund, for
example, by diluting the interests held by the AlphaKeys Fund.
The Member Designee will adjust each existing Member's Capital Account (as
defined below) with such items as necessary to reflect the arrangement set forth
in the preceding paragraph with respect to Subsequent Closings.
Capital Calls Each investor admitted to the AlphaKeys Fund (each, a "Member") will be
required to fund its Capital Commitment (as defined above) relating to such
ER305378-MAXWELL -9-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001790
EFTA00237421
Member's limited liability company interest in the AlphaKeys Fund (each, an
"Interest") through the Initial Payment (as defined below) and upon subsequent
capital calls, as described herein.
The AlphaKeys Fund may from time to time hold some of its assets in cash (not
earning interest) or invest 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 Member Designee determines is necessary or prudent,
in its sole discretion; and/or (ii) pursuant to the retention of appropriate reserves
(as determined in the sole discretion of the Member Designee) for the payment
of AlphaKeys Fund-level Fees and Expenses. Subject to the foregoing,
substantially all of the AlphaKeys Fund's assets are expected to be invested in the
Underlying Fund. As a result of the AlphaKeys Fund-level Fees and Expenses
(including the Administrative Fee) and the need to reserve amounts to pay
AlphaKeys Fund obligations, the amount of each Member's indirect investment
in the Underlying Fund will be less than it would have been had such Member
invested directly in the Underlying Fund. Income from Temporary Investments is
subject to reinvestment.
Capital Contributions may also be held in an escrow or similar account pending
the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closings at the discretion of the Member
Designee. It is possible that such an escrow account would not earn interest.
The Member Designee may make calls for capital contributions to the AlphaKeys
Fund ("Capital Contributions") on not less than five (5) calendar days' prior
notice; provided however, to the extent the Underlying Fund calls for a
contribution to the Underlying Fund on less than five (5) calendar days notice,
the AlphaKeys Fund may call capital from its investors on less than five (5)
calendar days notice to satisfy its obligations to the Underlying Fund. Each
Member will be required to make an initial payment (the "Initial Payment") on or
prior to the Initial Closing or upon a Subsequent Closing or as otherwise
determined by the Member Designee equal to a percentage of its Capital
Commitment as specified by the Member Designee.
A Member may be required to make Capital Contributions to the
AlphaKeys Fund in an amount in excess of its Capital Commitment (a) in
the event the AlphaKeys Fund has to make capital contributions or other
payments to the Underlying Fund in excess of the AlphaKeys Fund's
capital commitment to the Underlying Fund, (b) for any AlphaKeys Fund-
level Fees and Expenses or (c) any tax payments made by the AlphaKeys
Fund on behalf of such Member (or interest or penalties associated
therewith). In addition, it is expected that each Member will be required
to make contributions to the AlphaKeys Fund in excess of its Capital
Commitment to pay the Underlying Fund Management Fee and certain
Underlying Fund organizational expenses, as set forth in the Underlying
Fund Memorandum. The excess Capital Contributions described above
are referred to herein as "Excess Contributions". The AlphaKeys Fund
may invest all Capital Commitments in the Underlying Fund. As a result,
the extent to which a Member will be required to make certain Excess
Contributions will depend on the percentage of aggregate capital
commitments called by the Underlying Fund (for example, if the
Underlying Fund calls 100% of commitments, each Member's share, if
ER305378-MAXWELL -io-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001791
EFTA00237422
any, of applicable AlphaKeys Fund-level Fees and Expenses and the
Underlying Fund Management Fee and Underlying Fund organizational
expenses would be in addition to such Member's Capital Commitment).
In addition, a Member may also be required to pay a Placement Fee.
Members should maintain sufficient liquid assets to meet capital call
obligations. Failure of a Member to satisfy capital call obligations in a
timely manner may result in significant adverse consequences, including
forfeiture and/or sale of such Member's Interest. See "—Default" below.
None of the Member Designee, the Administrator or any of their affiliates has
control over when or in what amount the Underlying Fund may call capital from
the AlphaKeys Fund.
As a result of Underlying Fund-level Fees and Expenses, AlphaKeys Fund-level
Fees and Expenses and the Placement Fee (if charged), the aggregate amount of
each Member's indirect investment in the Underlying Fund may be less than the
amount of its Capital Contributions.
Capital The AlphaKeys Fund will establish and maintain a capital account for each
Accounts Member that will reflect such Member's investment in the AlphaKeys Fund (a
"Capital Account").
Reinvestment During the term of the AlphaKeys Fund, prior distributions of proceeds may be
subject to recall and reinvestment by the Administrator in its sole and absolute
discretion.
Reserves Any cash that may otherwise be currently distributable to the Members may be
reserved by the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, for the payment
of Fund Expenses, the Administrative Fee or projected expenses, or for
reinvestment.
Distributions All proceeds received by the AlphaKeys Fund generally will be distributed to the
Members in accordance with each Member's Sharing Percentage. The amounts
received by the AlphaKeys Fund will be net of fees, expenses and reserves. For
purposes hereof, a "Sharing Percentage" will mean, with respect to any Member
and as of any date, a fraction, expressed as a percentage, (i) the numerator of
which is the Capital Commitment of such Member and (ii) the denominator of
which is the aggregate amount of Capital Commitments of all Members, in each
case as of such date and taking into account any adjustments specified in the
LLC Agreement.
Proceeds generally will be distributed at such times as the Member Designee will
determine in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that the AlphaKeys Fund
may reduce such distributions by the amount of Fund Expenses and by any
amounts applied as a reserve or in anticipation of future funding in the sole and
absolute discretion of the Member Designee. It is anticipated that the
Administrator may maintain a reserve of AlphaKeys Fund assets in Temporary
Investments. Distributions by the AlphaKeys Fund generally will be made in cash;
provided, however, that there is no limitation on the ability of the AlphaKeys
Fund to distribute securities (whether marketable or non-marketable) in-kind
during the term of the AlphaKeys Fund or upon the winding-up of the AlphaKeys
Fund.
Items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the AlphaKeys Fund will
generally be allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with
the foregoing distribution provisions and the requirements of the Code
ER305378-MA. -11-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001792
EFTA00237423
and the regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department promulgated
thereunder.
Return of The AlphaKeys Fund may require the Members (including any former Members)
Distributions to return distributions pro rata based on distributions received by each Member
from the AlphaKeys Fund relative to distributions received by all Members from
the AlphaKeys Fund (a) in order to satisfy the debts, liabilities and obligations of
the AlphaKeys Fund (including, without limitation, indemnification obligations
and the Administrative Fee), whether such debts, liabilities and obligations arise
before or after the last day of the term of the AlphaKeys Fund or, with respect to
a Member, before or after such Member's withdrawal from the AlphaKeys Fund,
or (b) if the Underlying Fund requires the AlphaKeys Fund to return any amounts
previously distributed to the AlphaKeys Fund that the AlphaKeys Fund has, in
turn, distributed to the Members (including any former members).
Transfers and A Member generally may not sell, transfer or pledge its Interest without the
withdrawals consent of the Member Designee, which consent may be withheld in the
Member Designee's sole and absolute discretion, including if the Member
Designee determines that such sale, transfer or pledge may cause the AlphaKeys
Fund to become a publicly traded partnership under Section 7704 the Code.
Generally, a Member will not be permitted to sell, transfer or pledge its
Interest. A Member generally may not withdraw from the AlphaKeys Fund.
However, certain voluntary transfers may be approved in limited circumstances in
the Member Designee's sole discretion and subject to the AlphaKeys Fund's
compliance with certain tax obligations. In addition, in the event of a Default by
any Member or a default with respect to a Member's obligation to indemnify the
AlphaKeys Fund for certain taxes paid on its behalf by the AlphaKeys Fund as
described in the LLC Agreement, such Defaulting Member (as defined below)
may, at the discretion of the AlphaKeys Fund, be subject to certain actions and
penalties, including having its Interest sold or transferred to any other person or
persons. See "—Default" below.
Parallel Funds In the event that one or more Members, due to tax, regulatory or other reasons
cannot efficiently acquire or maintain an Interest, as an accommodation to such
Members or if determined by the Member Designee to be in the interest of some
or all of the Members, the Member Designee may establish one or more
investment vehicles through which such Members may invest on a side by side
basis with the AlphaKeys Fund (any such vehicle, an "Parallel Fund"). Any Parallel
Fund will be structured in a manner so that the interests held by such investor,
inclusive of rights and obligations, substantially approximates in all material
respects, an Interest in the AlphaKeys Fund. If the Member Designee determines
that for legal, tax, accounting, regulatory or other reasons it is in the interest of
some or all of the Members that the investment in the Underlying Fund be made
through one or more Parallel Funds, the Member Designee shall be permitted,
without the consent of any Member, to permit or require, in certain
circumstances, one or more Members to (i) withdraw from the AlphaKeys Fund
and to acquire a substantially equivalent interest in a then-existing Parallel Fund
or new Parallel Fund and/or (ii) otherwise convert and/or exchange all or a
portion of a Member's Interest into or for an interest in a Parallel Fund. A
conversion and/or exchange of all or a portion of a Member's Interest into or for
an interest in a Parallel Fund (i) shall include a cancellation of all or an applicable
portion of such Member's Interest and (ii) may include a redemption in-kind of
such Member's Interest and a contribution to the Parallel Fund of a portion of
the assets of the AlphaKeys Fund that the Member Designee determines is
ER305378-MAXWELL -12-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001793
EFTA00237424
attributable to such Member's Interest being so converted or exchanged. The
Members will be required to make capital contributions directly to each such
Parallel Fund to the same extent, for the same purposes and on the same terms
and conditions as Members would otherwise be required to make Capital
Contributions to the AlphaKeys Fund.
Alternative
Vehicles If the Member Designee determines that for legal, tax, accounting, regulatory or
other reasons it is in the interest of some or all of the Members that all or a
portion of the AlphaKeys Fund's investment in the Underlying Fund be made
through an alternative investment structure or vehicle (any such structure or
vehicle, an "Alternative Vehicle") the Member Designee shall be permitted to
structure the making of all or any portion of such investment in the Underlying
Fund outside of the AlphaKeys Fund, by requiring any Member (i) to make all or
a portion of its indirect investment in the Underlying Fund through a partnership
or other vehicle or vehides (other than the AlphaKeys Fund) that is expected to
invest on a parallel basis, subject to applicable legal, tax, accounting, regulatory
or other considerations, with or in lieu of the AlphaKeys Fund, as the case may
be or (ii) to contribute its Interest in the AlphaKeys Fund to an Alternative Vehicle
in exchange for an interest in such Alternative Vehicle. The Members will be
required to make capital contributions directly to each such Alternative Vehide to
the same extent, for the same purposes and on the same terms and conditions as
Members would otherwise be required to make Capital Contributions to the
AlphaKeys Fund.
Cayman
Vehicle If the Member Designee determines that for legal, tax, accounting, regulatory or
other reasons it is in the interest of some or all of the Members that the
AlphaKeys Fund be re-structured as a Cayman Islands exempted limited
partnership or other entity formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands (any
such entity, a "Cayman Vehicle") the Member Designee may take and/or cause
the Members to take all actions necessary and desirable to implement any such
re-structuring at the cost of the AlphaKeys Fund. The Members may be required
to make capital contributions directly to each such Cayman Vehicle to the same
extent, for the same purposes and on the same terms and conditions as
Members would otherwise be required to make Capital Contributions to the
AlphaKeys Fund.
Borrowing The AlphaKeys Fund may borrow money to cover any shortfall in the AlphaKeys
Fund's ability to make a capital contribution, to satisfy tax liabilities or for any
other purpose the Member Designee reasonably determines to be necessary or
appropriate. Borrowings may be secured by assignment of the obligations of the
Members to make Capital Contributions. Members will be required to cooperate
with the Member Designee in securing the borrowing and to provide the banks
with financial information and other documentation reasonably and customarily
required to obtain such facilities.
Risk Factors An investment in the AlphaKeys Fund involves significant risks, certain of which
are described in more detail in the risk factors and conflicts of interest sections in
the Underlying Fund Memorandum. Each prospective investor in the
AlphaKeys Fund should carefully consider and evaluate such risks prior to
purchasing an Interest.
The amount actually invested by the Underlying Fund is subject to the ability of
the Underlying Fund to identify and fund investments. There can be no
assurance as to the amount and timing of the Underlying Fund's investments,
nor the associated schedule on which the AlphaKeys Fund will be required to
ER305378-MAXWELL -13-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001794
EFTA00237425
invest in the Underlying Fund. See "Section III. Risk Factors and Other
Considerations" below.
The Underlying Fund Memorandum, as provided by Blackstone to the AlphaKeys
Fund, sets forth the terms of the Underlying Fund is attached hereto as Appendix
A, and should be read carefully by all prospective investors. The terms of the
Underlying Fund, including the terms described herein, are subject to change. In
the event of any such change to the terms of the Underlying Fund, the
AlphaKeys Fund, as an investor in the Underlying Fund, will be subject to such
changed terms.
The Underlying Fund Memorandum includes a variety of performance
information relating to the Underlying Fund and other investment
vehicles managed by the Underlying Fund General Partner and/or the
Underlying Fund Adviser. Information presented about other funds or
selected investments made by the Underlying Fund General Partner
and/or the Underlying Fund Adviser, while informative regarding the
experience of the Underlying Fund General Partner and/or the
Underlying Fund Adviser, are not indicative of, and in some cases may be
irrelevant to, an assessment of the potential performance or investments
of the AlphaKeys Fund (in connection with its investment in the
Underlying Fund). While reviewing the performance information set
forth in the Appendix to the Underlying Fund Memorandum, investors
should pay particular attention to the net return information provided in
the endnotes to such Appendix. Performance shown in the Underlying
Fund Memorandum is not that of the AlphaKeys Fund and is not net of
AlphaKeys Fund-level Fees and Expenses or the Placement Fee (if
charged). The returns of the AlphaKeys Fund will be lower, and may be
materially lower, than the returns at the Underlying Fund level. Returns
for the AlphaKeys Fund may also differ from the returns of the
Underlying Fund as a result of, among other things, funds invested in
Temporary Investments by the AlphaKeys Fund and delayed distributions
by the AlphaKeys Fund to its investors.
Purchasers of Interests will not be limited partners of the Underlying Fund, will
have no voting rights or direct interest in the Underlying fund and will have no
standing or recourse against the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund General
Partner, the Underlying Fund Adviser or their respective affiliates. The offering of
Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund should not be considered an offering of interests
in the Underlying Fund. Moreover, none of the AlphaKeys Fund, the Member
Designee, the Administrator or any of their respective affiliates has the right to
participate in the control, management or operations of the Underlying Fund,
and none of the foregoing has any discretion over the management of the
Underlying fund.
An investment in the AlphaKeys Fund is a speculative investment that entails
significant risks. No representation or warranty is made that the AlphaKeys Fund
or the Underlying Fund will achieve its investment objectives, implement its
investment strategy or avoid substantial losses. Each Member must have the
ability to bear the risk of loss of its entire investment. See "Section lit Risk
Factors and Other Considerations" below.
Conflicts of An investment in the AlphaKeys Fund involves potential conflicts of interest,
ER305378-MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001795
EFTA00237426
Interest including that the Placement Agent may charge a Member a Placement Fee. In
addition, certain affiliates of the Member Designee or the Administrator may
receive investment banking fees from the Underlying Fund's portfolio companies
and affiliates thereof and in respect of other transactions in which the Underlying
Fund is involved. Moreover, in the regular course of business, certain affiliates of
the Member Designee or the Administrator may be engaged to act as a financial
advisor to a party or parties competing for the same or similar investments as the
Underlying Fund. Furthermore, certain affiliates of the Member Designee or the
Administrator may act as a lender to the AlphaKeys Fund, the Underlying Fund or
its portfolio companies and, in such capacity, may have a liquidation preference
over the Underlying Fund or may have interests that are divergent from the
Underlying Fund. See "Section IV. Conflicts of Interest" and "— Other Fees and
Expenses" and "— Placement Fee" above. Each prospective investor in the
AlphaKeys Fund should carefully consider and evaluate such potential
conflicts of interest prior to purchasing an Interest.
Additionally, each prospective investor should carefully consider and
evaluate such potential conflicts of interest as are described in the
disclosure relating to risk factors and conflicts of interest in the
Underlying Fund Memorandum (and in particular, should pay careful
attention to the description of potential fees charged by the Underlying
Fund under "Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest — Fees for
Services" in the Underlying Fund Memorandum).
Custodian, A third party bank will serve as custodian of the AlphaKeys Fund's assets. In
Record Keeper addition to the Administrator, the AlphaKeys Fund may, in its sole and absolute
and Related discretion, retain other persons (including Ernst & Young LLP and Citi Private
Services Equity Services, Inc. or others) to perform certain administrative, accounting,
portfolio, investor and other services for the AlphaKeys Fund at the AlphaKeys
Fund's expense, including the preparation of reports to Members and the
AlphaKeys Fund's tax returns, including Schedule K-1s. In consideration of such
services, the AlphaKeys Fund will generally pay the service provider a fee which
may be a flat fee or may be based on the average net assets of and/or the
number of investors in the AlphaKeys Fund, subject to a monthly minimum. The
AlphaKeys Fund will also reimburse the service provider for any out-of-pocket
expenses. Fees paid to the service provider in such capacity will not reduce the
Administrative Fee. In addition, the AlphaKeys Fund may engage other
administrative service providers.
Involuntary The AlphaKeys Fund may terminate the Interest of any Member if the AlphaKeys
Termination of Fund determines that the continued participation of such Member in the
Member's AlphaKeys Fund would be detrimental to the AlphaKeys Fund (including, without
Interest limitation, if the continued participation of such Member would cause the
AlphaKeys Fund to be excluded from certain investments by the Underlying
Fund). In addition, the AlphaKeys Fund may terminate the Interest of any
Member who is a UBS employee if the continued participation of such Member is
determined by the Member Designee to subject any of the AlphaKeys Fund, the
Member Designee, or their respective affiliates to any adverse consequence
under any laws, rules or regulations applicable to any of the AlphaKeys Fund, the
Member Designee, or their respective affiliates. In the event of any termination
of a Member's Interest, such Member (a) may be paid an amount equal to its
Capital Account balance as of the termination date within ninety (90) days or as
soon thereafter as the AlphaKeys Fund has available funds as determined by the
Member Designee, in its sole and absolute discretion, which amount may be
ER305378-MAXWELL -15-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001796
EFTA00237427
significantly less than the amount such Member would receive if it held its
Interest through the termination date of the AlphaKeys Fund or (b) may have its
Interest sold or transferred to any other person or persons (including an affiliate
of the Member Designee or the Administrator or in a transaction in which the
Member Designee, the Administrator or one of their affiliates is acting as agent
or principal) at whatever price or terms, in the Member Designee's sole and
absolute discretion (with the net proceeds, if any, of such sale inuring to the
benefit of such Member) and allowing the transferee of such Interest to assume
such Member's unfunded Capital Commitment.
Death of a If a Member dies, the recipient of the Interest of such Member will continue as a
Member successor to such Member, provided, however, that the Member Designee may,
in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate such Member's Interest upon five (5)
days' prior written notice to such recipient of such Interest. In the event of any
such termination of such Member's Interest, such Member (or successor) will be
paid as described in "Involuntary Termination of Member's Interest" above.
Amendments; The LLC Agreement may be amended with the approval of (i) the Member
Amendments Designee, (ii) the Administrator, and (iii) where applicable, a majority-in-interest
in Respect of of the Capital Commitments of non-Defaulting Members. A Member will be
the Underlying deemed to consent to a proposed amendment if the Member has received notice
Fund of such amendment and did not object thereto within a reasonable, and
specifically disdosed, time period that is consistent with applicable law.
Amendments increasing the obligation of any Member to make capital
contributions to the AlphaKeys Fund or reducing any Member's capital account
(in each case other than as permitted in the LLC Agreement) may not be made
without the consent of any Members materially and adversely affected thereby or
unless any such Member has received notice of such amendment and, in the case
of a Member objecting to such amendment, a reasonable opportunity to
withdraw its Interests. Amendments that (i) increase Member rights, including
with respect to voting, or (ii) otherwise would not materially and adversely affect
Members, will not require Member consent.
The terms of the Underlying Fund, including the terms 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.
Restructuring The Member Designee may in the future, in its sole discretion and without notice
to the Members, restructure the AlphaKeys Fund or the Member Designee in
order to comply with laws or regulations (including, but not limited to, the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act")) or to reduce or
eliminate the impact or applicability of any bank regulatory restrictions to which
the Member Designee or the AlphaKeys Fund: (i) are subject, or (ii) will be subject
upon engaging in a new business transaction.
Fiscal Year The AlphaKeys Fund's fiscal year will be the calendar year, unless the Code
requires a year other than the calendar year to be used as the taxable year, in
which case the fiscal year will be the taxable year required by the Code.
Reports The AlphaKeys Fund intends to deliver to the Members audited annual financial
reports of the AlphaKeys Fund as soon as practicable after the condusion of the
AlphaKeys Fund's fiscal year. Nevertheless, due to (a) a change in accounting
rules or interpretations that may make it difficult for the Administrator or costly
for the AlphaKeys Fund to provide audited financial reports or (b) the
ER305378-MAXWELL -16-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001797
EFTA00237428
unavailability of necessary information from the Underlying Fund, the AlphaKeys
Fund may deliver unaudited annual financial reports to Members. An annual
audit of financial reports may only be completed once the AlphaKeys Fund
receives audited financial statements from the Underlying Fund in respect of the
same fiscal year. Consequently, the preparation of the AlphaKeys Fund's audited
annual financial reports may occur later than would otherwise be the case. If the
Underlying Fund is unable to complete its audit (or if the Underlying Fund issues
a qualified audit report), the AlphaKeys Fund will be unable to complete its own
audit (or the AlphaKeys Fund will have to issue a qualified audit report). In
addition, Members may receive 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 may be based on information
provided by the Underlying Fund. 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 such accounting method as the
Administrator determines in its sole and absolute discretion is in the best interest
of the AlphaKeys Fund, which may not be in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. 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 and absolute
discretion is in the best interest of the AlphaKeys Fund.
Each Member will be furnished information on Schedule K-1 for preparation of
its respective U.S. federal income tax returns. In order for the AlphaKeys Fund to
furnish such information and complete its tax reporting obligations, the
AlphaKeys Fund must, among other things, receive timely information from the
Underlying Fund. The Schedule K-1s will not be available prior to April 15
and accordingly, Members may need to obtain extensions for the filing of
their own individual tax returns. See "Section V. Certain Material U.S.
Federal Income Tax Considerations."
Indemnification None of the Administrator, the Member Designee or their affiliates, or their
respective current or former shareholders, directors, officers, trustees, partners,
members, employees, managers or agents of any of them (each, a "Covered
Person") will be liable to the AlphaKeys Fund or any Member for any act or
omission, induding any mistake of fad or error in the performance of services to
the AlphaKeys Fund, except for any such act or omission constituting fraud,
willful misfeasance, conviction of a felony, willful violation of law, gross
negligence, or reckless disregard of duties in the conduct of such person's office,
in each case having a material adverse effect on the AlphaKeys Fund ("Dating
Conduct"). The AlphaKeys Fund (and not any Covered Person), will (i) be
responsible for any losses resulting from "trading" errors and similar human
errors, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard in the performance of the obligations and duties of any Covered
Person or (ii) receive the gain from such errors, as the case may be. The
AlphaKeys Fund will indemnify Covered Persons against all claims, damages,
liabilities, costs and expenses, induding legal fees and expenses, to which they
may be or become subject by reason of their activities on behalf of the
AlphaKeys Fund or otherwise relating to the LLC Agreement or the
Administrative Services Agreement, except to the extent that such claims,
damages, liabilities, costs or expenses are finally determined by a non-appealable
judgment to have resulted primarily from such person's Disabling Conduct. See
ER305378-MAXWELL -17-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001798
EFTA00237429
"—Return of Distributions" above. Expenses incurred by a Covered Person in
defense or settlement of any claim that may be subject to a right of
indemnification hereunder may be advanced by the AlphaKeys Fund to such
Covered Person prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if a
court of competent jurisdiction determines in a non-appealable judgment that
the Covered Person was not entitled to be indemnified hereunder. The right of
any Covered Person to the indemnification provided herein will be cumulative
with, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Covered Persons may
otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and will extend
to such Covered Person's successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives.
The above will not be construed to provide indemnification for any liability to the
extent that such indemnification would be in violation of applicable law or such
liability may not be waived, modified or limited under applicable law.
In addition, the AlphaKeys Fund, like all other investors of the Underlying Fund,
will agree to indemnify the Underlying Fund General Partner, the Underlying
Fund Adviser and/or any of their affiliates as more fully described in the
Underlying Fund Memorandum. Any costs or liabilities associated with such
indemnification will be borne by the AlphaKeys Fund (and thus, the Members).
Moreover, the AlphaKeys Fund indemnifies the Placement Agent under certain
circumstances, as set forth in the Placement Agreement.
Default In the event that the AlphaKeys Fund fails to make a capital contribution (in
whole or in part) to the Underlying Fund in a timely manner as a result of the
failure of a Member to make a Capital Contribution to the AlphaKeys Fund, (a)
such failure could cause the AlphaKeys Fund in its entirety to be in default under
the Underlying Fund Operating Document and (b) the Underlying Fund may
impose certain remedies, including without limitation, forcing the AlphaKeys
Fund to forfeit a portion or all of its interest in the Underlying Fund (the "Fund
Defaulted Interest") which may materially and adversely affect non-Defaulting
Members in the AlphaKeys Fund. If the AlphaKeys Fund were to forfeit all or any
portion of its interest in the Underlying Fund because of one or more Member
defaults, all Members in the AlphaKeys Fund could be adversely impacted by (i)
losing some or all of their indirect investment in the Underlying Fund or (ii)
bearing all or some of the costs of such defaults as Fund Expenses.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Underlying Fund takes
action in respect of any Fund Defaulted Interest, the Member Designee will have
broad discretion to amend the LLC Agreement to attempt to ensure that any
action taken by the Underlying Fund in respect of the AlphaKeys Fund Defaulted
Interest will only adversely affect the Interest of the Defaulting Member in the
AlphaKeys Fund.
If any Member fails to make all or any portion of any Capital Contribution when
due (a "Default"), then such Member may be designated by the Member
Designee as in default under the LLC Agreement (a "Defaulting Member").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Member fails to make all or any portion of
such Capital Contribution when due, such Member may be assessed a late fee or
other charge (including, without limitation, interest) on such outstanding amount
in an amount to be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the
Member Designee, in accordance with commercially reasonable standards, for
each day all or any portion of such Capital Contribution is outstanding.
With respect to any Capital Contribution (or portion thereof) that is subject to a
ER305378-MAXWELL -18-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001799
EFTA00237430
Default (the "Defaulted Amount") the Member Designee may (i) increase the
Capital Contributions of the Members that have made their corresponding
Capital Contributions, pro rata based on the Capital Contributions of the non-
defaulting Members, to the extent necessary to fund the Defaulted Amount, (ii)
cause the AlphaKeys Fund to obtain (through a borrowing or otherwise) such
amounts as are necessary to fund the Defaulted Amount, the cost of which may
be assessed to the Defaulting Member provided that, in the event that the
AlphaKeys Fund is unable to recover such amounts from the Defaulting Member,
the Members may bear such amounts as Fund Expenses.
The AlphaKeys Fund will have the right to bring legal action against a Defaulting
Member to collect the Capital Contributions due to the AlphaKeys Fund plus
legal fees and other costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by the AlphaKeys
Fund (including any such costs, expenses and liabilities imposed by the
Underlying Fund against the AlphaKeys Fund) in connection with the Default, as
well as a late fee on the defaulted amount and any other amounts not timely
paid in an amount to be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the
Member Designee in accordance with commercially reasonable standards, for
each day all or any portion of such amounts are outstanding. In addition, a
Defaulting Member may, at the discretion of the AlphaKeys Fund, with respect to
all or some of its Interest, be subject to any (or any combination) of the following
remedies: (i) having its Capital Account frozen, (ii) having to bear up to the full
amount of any losses incurred by the AlphaKeys Fund due to its Default, to the
extent of its Capital Account, but not share in any income or gain, (iii) being
prohibited from sharing in any future capital call with respect to its Capital
Commitment, (iv) having its Interest sold or transferred to any other person or
persons who may be admitted as a substitute Member (induding the Member
Designee, the Administrator or one of their affiliates or in a transaction in which
the Member Designee, the Administrator or one of their affiliates is acting as
agent or principal) at whatever price or terms, in the Member Designee's sole
and absolute discretion (with none of the proceeds, if any, of such sale inuring to
the benefit of the Defaulting Member) and allowing the transferee of such
Interest to assume the Defaulting Member's unfunded Capital Commitment, (v)
having its Interest reallocated among non-Defaulting Members on terms
established by the Member Designee in its sole and absolute discretion, (vi)
having its obligations to pay its pro rata share of organizational and other Fund
Expenses continue as if the Default had not occurred, (vii) having its remaining
unfunded Capital Commitment accelerated, (viii) having amounts otherwise
distributable to it applied in satisfaction of any amounts payable by it, (ix) having
its Sharing Percentage reduced to zero, (x) having the amount of such Default
withdrawn from any account maintained by it with any affiliate of the Member
Designee or the Administrator to the extent of available funds thereof, (xi) having
a lender (including the Member Designee, the Administrator and their affiliates)
lend to it all or any part of the funds required of the Defaulting Member as
further described in the LLC Agreement, (xii) forfeiting its Interest in the
AlphaKeys Fund in full, and/or (xiii) being subject to any other remedy available
under sections 18-306 and 18-5O2(c) of the Delaware Limited Liability Company
Act, 6 Del C. § 18-101 et seq., at law or in equity to the AlphaKeys Fund.
The Member Designee reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to
implement any one or a combination of the above remedies, including remedies
that may benefit the Member Designee, the Administrator and their affiliates to
the exclusion of the AlphaKeys Fund or any non-Defaulting Members.
ER305378-MAXWELL -19-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001800
EFTA00237431
Power of Under the LLC Agreement, the Member Designee is granted an irrevocable
Attorney power of attorney to sign on behalf of each Member (i) any amendments to the
certificate of formation of the AlphaKeys Fund, certain amendments to the LLC
Agreement, as well as any instruments, documents and certificates as may be
required by law from time to time to effect, implement or continue the existence
of the AlphaKeys Fund and (ii) any instruments, documents and certificates as
may be necessary or advisable to effect or implement the transactions described
under "Parallel Funds", "Alternative Vehides" and "Cayman Vehicle" above.
Limited Members will be members of a limited liability company as provided under
Liability Delaware law. Except as otherwise provided under Delaware law, in the LLC
Agreement and under "Return of Distributions" above, a Member will only be
liable for the debts, obligations or liabilities of the AlphaKeys Fund to the extent
of such Member's Capital Contributions and unfunded Capital Commitment. In
addition, each Member (or former Member) will be obligated to make payments
to, or return to the AlphaKeys Fund pursuant to the LLC Agreement, any funds
wrongfully distributed to the Member (or former Member) or as may otherwise
be required under applicable law.
Certain The AlphaKeys Fund expects to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal
Material U.S. income tax purposes. Because of this dassification, subject to the discussion
Federal Income under "Tax Returns and Audits" in "Section V. Certain Material U.S. Federal
Tax Income Tax Considerations" below, the AlphaKeys Fund generally will not be
Considerations subject to U.S. federal income tax, and each Member will be allocated its share
of the items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit (including any foreign tax
credits) of the AlphaKeys Fund (including the AlphaKeys Fund's allocable share of
the Underlying Fund's items), regardless of the amount of distributions, if any,
that are made by the AlphaKeys Fund to such Member. As a result, Members
may incur income tax liabilities in excess of any distributions to and from the
AlphaKeys Fund. The Member Designee, or another Member appointed by the
Member Designee, will serve as the "tax matters partner" and "partnership
representative" for the AlphaKeys Fund.
The AlphaKeys Fund is not required and does not intend to make cash
distributions to Members in amounts sufficient to cover the U.S. federal income,
state or other tax liabilities of Members with respect to their allocable share of
Fund income and gain.
An investment in the AlphaKeys Fund may have the effect of requiring a
Member to file income or other tax returns in state and local jurisdictions,
as well as in non-U.S. jurisdictions, in which the AlphaKeys Fund or the
Underlying Fund conducts or is deemed to conduct business.
The AlphaKeys Fund will not be required to make or prepare on behalf of its
Members any filings, applications or returns in jurisdictions in which the
AlphaKeys Fund makes indirect investments through the Underlying Fund with
respect to withholding or other taxes. To the extent withholding or other taxes
are imposed by a non-U.S. jurisdiction, it is possible that tax conventions
between such jurisdictions and the U.S. might reduce or eliminate certain of such
taxes. It is also possible that in some cases certain Members may be entitled to
claim foreign tax credits or deductions with respect to such taxes, subject to
certain limitations under applicable law. Each prospective investor is urged to
consult his, her or its tax advisors regarding such tax return filing obligations,
withholding, credits and deductions.
ER305378-MAXWELL -2O-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERFtAMAR00001801
EFTA00237432
Each Member will be furnished information on Schedule K-1 for preparation of
such member's individual U.S. federal income tax returns. In order for the
AlphaKeys Fund to furnish such information and complete its tax reporting
obligations, the AlphaKeys Fund must, among other things, receive timely
information from the Underlying Fund. THE SCHEDULE K-1s WILL NOT BE
AVAILABLE PRIOR TO APRIL 15 AND ACCORDINGLY, MEMBERS MAY
NEED TO OBTAIN EXTENSIONS FOR THE FILING OF THEIR OWN
INDIVIDUAL TAX RETURNS.
The taxation of partners and partnerships is complex. Each prospective investor
is urged to consult his, her or its own tax advisor as to the tax consequences of
an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund. See "Section V. Certain Material U.S.
Federal Income Tax Considerations."
UBTI and Other Investments made by the Underlying Fund may generate "unrelated business
Tax-Exempt taxable income" ("UBTI") under Section 512 of the Code. Any UBTI recognized
Members by the Underlying Fund would flow through to the AlphaKeys Fund and to any
Member subject to tax pursuant to Section 511 of the Code. A qualified
retirement plan or other tax-exempt investor may be required to make payments,
including estimated payments, and file an income tax return for any taxable year
in which it has UBTI. To file an income tax return, it may be necessary for a
qualified retirement plan or other tax-exempt entity to obtain an employer
identification number. The AlphaKeys Fund will not structure its investments or
alter its activities so as to avoid UBTI. In particular, the AlphaKeys Fund will not
be obligated to hold any portion of its investment in the Underlying Fund
through any parallel fund or non-U.S. feeder vehicle. Since neither the
AlphaKeys Fund nor the Underlying Fund (with respect to the AlphaKeys Fund's
investment) are required to avoid generating UBTI, tax-exempt investors may
recognize a significant amount of UBTI as a result of an investment in the
AlphaKeys Fund and, accordingly, are strongly urged to consult their own tax
advisors regarding the advisability of an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund. See
"Section V. Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations."
ERISA In order to seek to prevent the assets of the AlphaKeys Fund from being deemed
Considerations "plan assets" subject to the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"), the AlphaKeys Fund intends to limit ownership of
the Interests by "Benefit Plan Investors" (as defined elsewhere herein) to less
than 25% of the total Interests, disregarding for purposes of such calculation any
interests owned by any person (excluding any Benefit Plan Investor) having
discretionary control of the assets of the AlphaKeys Fund or rendering investment
advice to the AlphaKeys Fund for a fee, and their affiliates (collectively,
"Disregarded Parties"). See "Section VI. Regulatory Considerations" below.
Compliance with this 25% rule may require the AlphaKeys Fund to limit the
transferability of Interests to Benefit Plan Investors or to Disregarded Parties.

III. RISK FACTORS AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
An investment in the AlphaKeys Fund involves the risk of the loss of capital. No guarantee or
representation is made that either the AlphaKeys Fund or the Underlying Fund will achieve its
investment objectives. Any losses by the AlphaKeys Fund will be borne solely by the Members and
not by the Member Designee, the Administrator or their affiliates. There can be no assurance that
investors will realize any profits from an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund. Members in the
AlphaKeys Fund will risk the loss of some or all of their investment. Because an investment in the
AlphaKeys Fund involves significant risks, prospective investors should carefully consider the risks
involved before subscribing. The considerations set forth below and in the risk conflicts of interest
and tax and other regulatory disclosure in the Underlying Fund Memorandum should be carefully
evaluated before making an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund. The information set forth in the
Underlying Fund Memorandum (i) has not been independently verified by the AlphaKeys Fund, the
Member Designee, the Administrator or any of their respective affiliates and (ii) does not necessarily
reflect the views or opinions of UBS or any of its affiliates.
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. There can be no assurance that the AlphaKeys Fund
will achieve its investment objective. Investors should be aware that prior performance of
investment entities associated with Blackstone, entities associated with the Underlying Fund's
investment professionals, and/or funds managed by the Underlying Fund Adviser and its affiliates are
not indicative of future results.
The Interests are not deposits in, obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, the Member
Designee, the Administrator or any of their affiliates or any U.S. or non-U.S. depository institution.
The Interests are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve
Board (the "Federal Reserve") or any other U.S. or non-U.S. governmental agency. The possibility of
partial or total loss of the AlphaKeys Fund capital will exist, and prospective investors should not
subscribe unless they can readily bear the consequences of such loss.
The AlphaKeys Fund intends to own a limited partner interest in the Underlying Fund, which is also
intended for long-term investors who can accept the significant risks associated with investing in
illiquid assets. Accordingly, an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund should only be considered by
persons who can afford a loss of their entire investment.
Capital Commitments Are Not Expected to Be Capped at Investor Application Amount
Each Member is expected to be required to make Excess Contributions. The AlphaKeys Fund may
invest all Capital Commitments in the Underlying Fund. As a result, the extent to which a Member
will be required to make certain Excess Contributions will depend on the percentage of aggregate
capital commitments called by the Underlying Fund (for example, if the Underlying Fund calls 100%
of commitments, each Member's share, if any, of applicable AlphaKeys Fund-level Fees and Expenses
and the Underlying Fund Management Fee and Underlying Fund organizational expenses would be
in addition to such Member's Capital Commitment). The extent to which a Member will be required
to make Excess Contributions will depend on the amount of AlphaKeys Fund-level Fees and Expenses
and the Underlying Fund Management Fee and Underlying Fund organizational expenses charged.
The organizational expenses charged by the Underlying Fund may be capped.
No Recourse Against the Underlying Fund
Members will not be limited partners of the Underlying Fund, will have no direct interest in the
Underlying Fund and will have no standing or recourse against the Underlying Fund, the Underlying
Fund General Partner, the Underlying Fund Adviser, Blackstone, their respective affiliates or any of
ER305378-MAXWELL -23-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001804
EFTA00237435
their respective general partners, managers, investment advisors, officers, directors, employees,
partners or members.
Limited Rights to Vote or Participate
Except as otherwise described below, in the event that there is an issue to be voted upon by the
limited partners of the Underlying Fund, the Member Designee, in its discretion, and not the
Members, will determine how the AlphaKeys Fund's interest in the Underlying Fund will be voted.
The Member Designee will determine whether the AlphaKeys Fund should vote "yes", "no" or
abstain from voting, in its sole discretion. In addition, Members will have no opportunity to
participate directly in the day-to-day operations of the AlphaKeys 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. (See "Bank Holding Company Act Considerations" below.)
Terms of the Underlying Fund
The terms of the Underlying Fund are subject to change. There can be no assurances that the
partners of the Underlying Fund will not further amend the Underlying Fund Operating Document.
None of the AlphaKeys Fund, the Member Designee or the Administrator will have the ability to
unilaterally block any amendment of the Underlying Fund Operating Document. None of the
Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund General Partner, the Underlying Fund Adviser, the Member
Designee, the Administrator or their respective affiliates will have any liability or responsibility to any
Member for any changes to the terms of the Underlying Fund. The Member Designee and the
Administrator are under no obligation to revise or supplement this Memorandum, notwithstanding
any amendments to the Underlying Fund Operating Document.
Lack of Operating History; Unspecified Investments
The AlphaKeys Fund is newly formed and has no operating or investment history. The Underlying
Fund also has no operating or investment history. The performance of other private funds managed
by the Underlying Fund Adviser or its affiliates cannot be relied upon as an indicator of the
Underlying Fund's future performance or its success. The AlphaKeys Fund, as an investor in the
Underlying Fund, must rely on personnel of the Underlying Fund General Partner and the Underlying
Fund Adviser and its affiliates to identify, structure and implement investments consistent with the
investment objectives and policies of the Underlying Fund.
Restrictions on Transfer and Withdrawal
Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund have not been registered under federal or state securities laws or the
laws of any other jurisdiction and are subject to restrictions on transfer contained in such laws and in
the LLC Agreement. Generally, a Member will not be permitted to sell, transfer or pledge its
Interest. However, certain voluntary transfers may be approved in limited circumstances in the
Member Designee's sole discretion and subject to the AlphaKeys Fund's compliance with certain tax
obligations. There is no public market for Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund and none is expected to
develop. Pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, a Member generally may not make full or
partial withdrawals from the AlphaKeys Fund. Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of the Underlying
Fund Operating Document, the AlphaKeys Fund cannot make full or partial withdrawals from the
Underlying Fund except in limited circumstances.
Unregistered Investment Company Act Status
Neither the AlphaKeys Fund nor the Underlying Fund is registered under the Investment Company
Act. The Investment Company Act provides certain protections to investors and imposes certain
ER305378-MAXWELL -24-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001805
EFTA00237436
restrictions on registered investment companies, none of which will be applicable to the AlphaKeys
Fund or the Underlying Fund.
Multiple Levels of Fees; Effect of Temporary Investments on Returns; Expenses
The AlphaKeys Fund and the Underlying Fund impose administrative or management fees, custodial,
accounting and other service fees, as well as other expenses. The Underlying Fund also imposes a
carried interest distribution. A Member of the AlphaKeys Fund that does not invest through the
Advisory Class may also be subject to a Placement Fee of two percent (2%) of such Member's
Capital Commitment, subject to waiver by the Placement Agent in limited circumstances.
The returns of the AlphaKeys Fund will be lower, and may be materially lower, than the
returns at the Underlying Fund level. Performance shown in the Underlying Fund
Memorandum does not include the AlphaKeys Fund-level Fees and Expenses or the
Placement Fee (if charged). Such fees will reduce returns. Returns for the AlphaKeys Fund
may also differ from the returns of the Underlying Fund as a result of funds invested in
Temporary Investments by the AlphaKeys Fund and delayed distributions by the
AlphaKeys Fund to its investors.
Different Classes of Interests may Yield Different Levels of Compensation
The Member Designee and/or its affiliates may receive compensation from the Underlying Fund in
connection with Members' indirect investments in the Underlying Fund. This compensation may vary
depending upon whether a Member is purchasing Advisory Class Interests or Brokerage Class
Interests. Accordingly, the Member Designee and/or its affiliates may receive different levels of
compensation in connection with investments by Members in the Advisory Class Interests, on the
one hand, and Members in the Brokerage Class Interests, on the other hand. Moreover, UBSFS
and/or its affiliates may have a greater incentive to recommend an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund
to an investor who will invest in a class of Interests that will yield a relatively higher level of
compensation.
In addition, as clients of UBSFS, Members who invest in the Advisory Class Interests have an
arrangement with UBSFS to directly compensate UBSFS for UBSFS's advisory services. Depending
upon each such Member's assets under management, among other factors, certain of these
Members may compensate UBSFS at higher levels than other such Members. Accordingly, the
Member Designee and/or its affiliates may receive different levels of compensation in connection
with investments by some Members in the Advisory Class Interests than they receive in connection
with investments by other Members in the Advisory Class Interests.
Investment by the AlphaKeys Fund in the Underlying Fund
The AlphaKeys Fund may make multiple investments at different times in the Underlying Fund.
Under the terms of the Underlying Fund Partnership Agreement, limited partners admitted to the
Underlying Fund more than six (6) months after the effective date of the Underlying Fund do not
participate in investments made prior to their admission. Accordingly, the AlphaKeys Fund may not
participate in all investments of the Underlying Fund and may participate in investments in the
Underlying Fund in a manner that is not pro rata to its aggregate commitment to the Underlying
Fund. However, the Members generally will participate in the entire commitment of the AlphaKeys
Fund to the Underlying Fund in a manner that is pro rata to their capital commitments to the
AlphaKeys Fund.
Default of Members Interest — Failure to Honor a Capital Call
If a Member fails to honor a capital call, the AlphaKeys Fund, in its sole discretion, may impose
remedies in respect of such Member, which may involve forfeiture and/or sale of all or a portion of
such Member's Interest in the AlphaKeys Fund without any consideration payable to the Defaulting
ER305378-MAXWELL -25-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERFtAMAR00001806
EFTA00237437
Member. See "Section II. Summary of Principal Terms of the AlphaKeys Fund — Default." If the
AlphaKeys Fund fails to satisfy any capital call by the Underlying Fund for any reason (induding as a
result of any Member's failure to honor a capital call by the AlphaKeys Fund), the Underlying Fund
may take actions against the AlphaKeys Fund, including forfeiture of a portion or all of the
AlphaKeys Fund's interest in the Underlying Fund. These actions may adversely affect the AlphaKeys
Fund and the non-Defaulting Members. If the AlphaKeys Fund were to forfeit all or any portion of
its interest in the Underlying Fund because of one or more Member defaults, all Members in the
AlphaKeys Fund could be adversely impacted by (i) losing some or all of their indirect investment in
the Underlying Fund or (ii) bearing all or some of the costs of such defaults as Fund Expenses. The
AlphaKeys Fund may fail to meet a capital call by the Underlying Fund if a Member fails to honor a
capital call by the AlphaKeys Fund and such shortfall is not made up by the other Members, a new
investor, a borrowing or otherwise, as applicable. In addition, a Member that defaults on its
obligation to indemnify the AlphaKeys Fund for certain taxes paid on its behalf by the AlphaKeys
Fund as described in the LLC Agreement will be subject to the same default provisions as if it were a
Capital Contribution default by such Member. In addition, the Underlying Fund may also require the
AlphaKeys Fund to make an additional capital contribution in respect of a defaulted amount by
another limited partner in the Underlying Fund, subject to certain limitations. For a more detailed
description of the Underlying Fund's default terms, see the Underlying Fund Memorandum.
Currency Risk
The Underlying Fund's assets generally will be denominated in Euros (and all Underlying Fund
calculations, including without limitation with respect to allocations, distributions, rates of return and
the clawback, will be made in Euros), whereas the AlphaKeys Fund's capital commitment and capital
contributions to the Underlying Fund will be denominated in U.S. dollars. In addition, the Underlying
Fund may make portfolio investments based on the currency where the proposed portfolio
investment is located, which may not be in Euros. As a result, the AlphaKeys Fund's share of returns
realized on any Underlying Fund investment, and the value of its investment in the Underlying Fund
generally, may be adversely affected by movements in currency exchange rates, costs of conversion
and other factors affecting currency values (induding trade balances, the level of short-term interest
rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long-term opportunities
for investment and capital appreciation, the imposition or modification of foreign currency control
regulations and political developments). Moreover, the Underlying Fund may incur costs when
converting the currency of an Underlying Fund investment or obligation into Euros. Furthermore, the
Underlying Fund limited partners investing in the Underlying Fund in U.S. dollars, induding the
AlphaKeys Fund, will bear their pro rata share of the costs associated with the conversion of Euros
into U.S. dollars. The Underlying Fund may, but is not required to, manage currency exposures into
Euros in particular countries that do not use the Euro as their primary currency by using hedging
strategies, but there can be no assurance such strategies will be implemented, or if implemented,
will be effective.
Temporary Investments
A significant portion of the amounts contributed to the AlphaKeys Fund by Members may be held in
Temporary Investments for some period of time. Temporary Investments may be adversely affected
by tax, legislative, regulatory, credit, political or government changes, interest rate increases and the
financial condition of issuers, which may pose credit risks that result in issuer default.
Repayment of Distributions
The AlphaKeys Fund may require the Members (including any former Members) to return
distributions pro rata in accordance with their Sharing Percentages (i) in order to satisfy the debts,
liabilities and obligations (including, without limitation, indemnification obligations and a Member's
obligation to make Capital Contributions as described in "Section II. Summary of Principal Terms of
ER305378-MAXWELL -26-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001807
EFTA00237438
the AlphaKeys Fund — Capital Calls", (including, without limitation, in respect of the Administrative
Fee)) of the AlphaKeys Fund, whether such debts, liabilities and obligations arise before or after the
last day of the term of the AlphaKeys Fund or, with respect to a Member, before or after such
Member's withdrawal from the AlphaKeys Fund, or (ii) if the Underlying Fund requires the AlphaKeys
Fund to return any amounts previously distributed to the AlphaKeys Fund and that the AlphaKeys
Fund has in turn distributed to the Members (including any former Members). See "Section II.
Summary of Principal Terms of the AlphaKeys Fund — Return of Distributions" above.
Involuntary Liquidation of a Member's Interest
The AlphaKeys Fund may terminate the Interest of any Member in the AlphaKeys Fund upon five (5)
days' prior written notice to such Member (i) in the event of the death of such Member or (ii) if the
Member Designee determines that the continued participation of such Member in the AlphaKeys
Fund would be detrimental to the AlphaKeys Fund (induding, without limitation, if the continued
participation of such Member would cause the AlphaKeys Fund to be excluded from certain
investments by the Underlying Fund). In addition, the AlphaKeys Fund may terminate the Interest of
any Member who is a UBS employee if the continued participation of such Member is determined by
the Member Designee to subject any of the AlphaKeys Fund, the Member Designee, or their
respective affiliates to any adverse consequence under any laws, rules or regulations applicable to
any of the AlphaKeys Fund, the Member Designee or their respective affiliates. In the event of any
such termination of a Member's Interest, such Member (a) may be paid an amount equal to its
Capital Account balance as of the termination date within ninety (9O) days or as soon thereafter as
the AlphaKeys Fund has available funds as determined by the Member Designee, in its sole and
absolute discretion, which amount may be significantly less than the amount such Member would
receive if it held its Interest through the termination date of the AlphaKeys Fund or (b) may have its
Interest sold or transferred to any other person or persons (induding the Member Designee, the
Administrator or one of their affiliates or in a transaction in which the Member Designee, the
Administrator or one of their affiliates is acting as agent or principal) at whatever price or terms, in
the Member Designee's sole and absolute discretion (with the net proceeds, if any, of such sale
inuring to the benefit of such Member) and allowing the transferee of such Interest to assume such
Member's unfunded Capital Commitment.
If, as determined by the Member Designee in its sole discretion, the AlphaKeys Fund fails to attract
enough Members to warrant the fee structure or if there is a material change to the terms of the
Underlying Fund prior to the AlphaKeys Fund's commitment thereto, then, notwithstanding that a
Member's subscription has been accepted and that such Member has made a Capital Contribution
to the AlphaKeys Fund, (i) the AlphaKeys Fund may elect not to invest in the Underlying Fund and
may elect to dissolve and (ii) the AlphaKeys Fund may elect to return any amounts previously debited
from the Members, plus any interest thereon, and such Member's Interest may be terminated.
Classes of Interests in the Underlying Fund are Not Separate Legal Entities
Although investors of the Underlying Fund, including the AlphaKeys Fund, may hold separate classes
of interests of the Underlying Fund, 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 if 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 its interests in the Underlying Fund and any other class of interests in which the
AlphaKeys Fund does not invest.
Side Letters and Other Agreements with Clients
The Member Designee 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 rights under, altering or supplementing the terms of the LLC
ER305378-MAXWELL -27-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001808
EFTA00237439
Agreement or 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 Member
Designee 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
Member Designee to certain transfers by such investor or other exercises by the Member Designee of
its discretionary authority under the LLC 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
Member Designee and its affiliates, (vii) special rights of such investor with respect to withdrawals,
(viii) additional obligations and restrictions on the Member Designee 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 Member Designee, 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.
Annual Income Tax Information
Each Member will be furnished information on a Schedule K-1 for preparation of such Member's
individual U.S. federal income tax return. In order for the AlphaKeys Fund to furnish such
information and complete its tax reporting obligations, the AlphaKeys Fund must, among other
things, receive timely information from the Underlying Fund. The Schedule K-1s will not be
available prior to April 15 and accordingly, Members may need to obtain extensions for the
filing of their own individual tax returns.
Reports and Certain Accounting Matters
The AlphaKeys Fund will use reasonable efforts to deliver to the Members audited annual financial
reports of the AlphaKeys Fund as soon as practicable after the AlphaKeys Fund receives the
necessary information from the Underlying Fund after the conclusion of the AlphaKeys Fund's fiscal
year. Nevertheless, due to (a) a change in accounting rules or interpretations that may make it
difficult for the Administrator or costly for the AlphaKeys Fund to provide audited financial reports or
(b) the unavailability of necessary information from the Underlying Fund, the AlphaKeys Fund may
deliver unaudited annual financial reports to Members. An annual audit of financial reports may
only be completed once the AlphaKeys Fund receives audited financial statements from the
Underlying Fund in respect of the same fiscal year. Consequently, the preparation of the AlphaKeys
Fund's audited annual financial reports may occur later than would otherwise be the case.
Furthermore, if the Underlying Fund is unable to complete its audit (or if the Underlying Fund issues
a qualified audit report), the AlphaKeys Fund will be unable to complete its own audit (or the
AlphaKeys Fund will have to issue a qualified audit report). In addition, Members may receive
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 may be based on
information provided by the Underlying Fund. Such valuations are subjective in nature and may not
conform to any particular valuation standard. Neither the Administrator nor the AlphaKeys Fund will
have the obligation or responsibility to review, verify, evaluate or otherwise pass judgment upon
such valuations. 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 interest of the AlphaKeys Fund.
ER305378-MAXWELL -28-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001809
EFTA00237440
Tax Liabilities in Excess of Cash Distributions
Due to potential timing differences between income recognition for tax purposes and actual cash
distributions by the AlphaKeys Fund, a Member may incur income tax liabilities in excess of actual
cash distributions made prior to the date such liabilities arise or such taxes are due. For a discussion
of other tax risks see "Section V. Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations."
Tax-Exempt Investors and UBTI
Tax-exempt investors may recognize UBTI from the AlphaKeys Fund for U.S. federal income tax
purposes and any such amounts of UBTI could be significant. See "Section V. Certain Material U.S.
Federal Income Tax Considerations."
Taxation Relating to Limited Liability Company Status
It is possible that some jurisdictions may impose taxes with respect to the AlphaKeys Fund's income
or investments which might not be imposed if the AlphaKeys Fund were organized as a partnership
rather than a limited liability company.
State, Local and Non-U.S. Tax Filing
An investment in the AlphaKeys Fund may have the effect of requiring a Member to file income or
other tax returns in state and local jurisdictions, as well as in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, in which
the AlphaKeys Fund or the Underlying Fund conducts or is deemed to conduct business.
Bank Holding Company Act Considerations
The Member Designee is, for purposes of the BI-IC 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 Act. In discharging its responsibilities as the
Member Designee, the Member Designee and the AlphaKeys Fund will observe limitations arising
from the BHC Act applicable to the Member Designee or the AlphaKeys Fund. To the extent it
deems it advisable under the BHC Act, the Member Designee also intends to seek the approval from
the Members 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 Member Designee's recommendations on
such matters unless, with respect to any matter on which the Members are entitled to vote, at least
a majority of the Members 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 Member Designee 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 Member Designee 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
Member Designee to comply with such regulatory or statutory provisions. (See "REGULATORY
CONSIDERATIONS—U.S. Bank Holding Company Act" below.) In the event of any change to the
BHC Act, or applicable regulations and interpretations under the BHC Act, the Member Designee
may, without the consent of any Member, take such additional steps as it deems necessary,
advisable or appropriate in its sole discretion for the AlphaKeys Fund or the Member Designee to
comply with the BHC Act, including restructuring the AlphaKeys Fund or the Member Designee.
ER305378-MAXWELL -29-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001810
EFTA00237441
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 Member Designee, potentially having a negative impact on the returns of the
AlphaKeys Fund. (See "REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS—Bank Holding Company Act" below.)
Legal and Regulatory Changes
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 Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") the SEC, the
Federal Reserve or other banking regulators, other U.S. or non-U.S. governmental regulatory
authorities or self-regulatory organizations, induding 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 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 "Podd-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 have fully complied 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 Member Designee may in the future,
in its sole discretion and without notice to the Members, restructure the AlphaKeys Fund or the
Member Designee 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 Member
Designee 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
ER305378-MAXWELL -30-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001811
EFTA00237442
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 UK 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 elects not to, satisfy these conditions or any other conditions under the Volcker Rule, then 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 Members to
increased taxes or other costs.

EFTA00237443
IV. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ASSOCIATED WITH AN INVESTMENT IN THE ALPHAKEYS FUND
The Member Designee's and the Administrator's affiliates engage in activities in the normal course of
their businesses which may differ from or conflict with the interests of the AlphaKeys Fund, the
other Members, the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund General Partner, the Underlying Fund
Adviser, Blackstone and their affiliates. Many of these conflicts are potential in nature, and it is
impossible to foresee all that may arise during the course of the AlphaKeys Fund's operation. These
conflicts of interest include, but are not necessarily limited to, the considerations set forth below and
in "Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest" in the Underlying Fund Memorandum.
Fees and Other Payments
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 Administrator may pay to third parties (which may include its affiliates) that assist in the offering
of Interests a portion of the Placement Fee and the Administrative Fee payable to the Placement
Agent and the Administrator, respectively. Furthermore, UBSFS or its affiliates will receive a fee from
the Underlying Fund Adviser in respect of the AlphaKeys Fund's aggregate capital commitment to
the Underlying Fund. Such fee will (i) be calculated as a percentage of the AlphaKeys Fund's
aggregate capital commitment to the Underlying Fund that is accepted by the Underlying Fund
General Partner; (ii) in the aggregate, be substantial; and (iii) be borne by the Underlying Fund
General Partner and its affiliates through a dollar-for-dollar offset of management fees payable by
AlphaKeys Fund.
The Member Designee, the Administrator, the Placement Agent and their affiliates have a conflict of
interest in that they benefit from the sale of Interests. In addition, as a result of the various payments
to UBSFA, UBSFS and their respective affiliates the amount of compensation that UBS Americas'
entities receive with respect to the sale of affiliated or proprietary hedge funds, funds of funds,
private equity funds and real estate funds (including from the sale of Interests in the AlphaKeys
Fund) may be greater than the amount payable to the organization as a whole from the sale of
unaffiliated investments.
Other Activities of the Member Designee, the Administrator and their Affiliates
The Member Designee, the Administrator and their affiliates may administer, manage or provide
other services to registered and unregistered investment companies and individual accounts
(collectively, "UBS Clients"). The AlphaKeys Fund has no interest in these activities. In addition, the
Member Designee, the Administrator, their affiliates and any of their respective officers, directors,
partners, members or employees may invest for their own accounts or for the account of clients with
respect to which they have investment discretion in various investment opportunities, including in
investment partnerships, private investment companies or other investment vehicles in which the
AlphaKeys Fund will have no interest and which may be adverse to the AlphaKeys Fund, the
Underlying Fund or other investments controlled by Blackstone.
The Member Designee, the Administrator or their affiliates may determine that an investment
opportunity in a particular investment vehicle is appropriate for a particular UBS Client or for itself or
its officers, directors, partners, members or employees, but not for the AlphaKeys Fund. Situations
may arise in which the Member Designee, the Administrator, their affiliates or UBS Clients have
ER305378-MAXWELL -32-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001813
EFTA00237444
made investments which would have been suitable for investment by the AlphaKeys Fund but, for
various reasons, were not pursued by, or available to, the AlphaKeys Fund. The investment activities
of the Member Designee, the Administrator, their affiliates and any of their respective officers,
directors, partners, members or employees may disadvantage the AlphaKeys Fund in certain
situations if, among other reasons, the investment activities limit the AlphaKeys Fund's ability to
invest in an investment vehicle.
The officers or employees of the Member Designee and 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 other UBS Clients. The Member
Designee, 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 Placement Agent and its affiliates may cause clients of the Placement Agent and its affiliates to
invest directly in the Underlying Fund (subject to terms of a placement agreement with the
Underlying Fund Manager) under certain circumstances, including if such clients satisfy the minimum
initial commitment required by the Underlying Fund or the Underlying Fund has accepted a lesser
commitment amount in its discretion. When such clients of the Placement Agent and its affiliates
invest directly in the Underlying Fund, such clients may receive more preferential terms than those
offered to the AlphaKeys Fund in connection with its investment in the Underlying Fund. Such
preferential terms may indude, but are not limited to, management fee rate, minimum commitment
amount, and level of fund operating expenses borne by the investor. Furthermore, such clients of
the Placement Agent and its affiliates may bear additional servicing fees as detailed in the Underlying
Fund Memorandum. Such fees will not be recouped through distributions from the Underlying Fund
and will be in excess of commitments. The Placement Agent and/or its affiliates receive
compensation in connection with investments by the clients of the Placement Agent and its affiliates
directly in the Underlying Fund. The compensation received by the Placement Agent and/or its
affiliates in connection with investments by the clients of the Placement Agent and its affiliates in the
AlphaKeys Fund may be higher in certain circumstances than compensation the Placement Agent
and/or its affiliates receive in connection with direct investments by such clients in the Underlying
Fund. In such instances, the Placement Agent and/or its affiliates may have a greater incentive to
recommend an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund to such clients. Moreover, clients of the
Placement Agent and its affiliates who invest directly in the Underlying Fund will not be Investors of
the AlphaKeys Fund and will not be responsible for AlphaKeys Fund-level Fees and Expenses, thereby
avoiding the extra layer of fees and expenses borne by Investors of the AlphaKeys Fund.
The Administrator's ability to defer, waive or reduce the administrative fee charged to other UBS
Clients for similar services as those being provided herein may result in the AlphaKeys Fund and its
Members paying a higher Administrative Fee for the same set of services as those being provided to
other UBS Clients at a lower fee or free of charge. In addition, the Administrator may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, defer, waive or reduce the Administrative Fee with respect to a Member that
makes a substantial Capital Commitment to the AlphaKeys Fund or that makes investments across
multiple funds administered by the Administrator and its affiliates.
The Member Designee 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 Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, 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 Members. 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 Member Designee. The members of the Conflicts Review Committee will be treated as if they
were the Member Designee for indemnification purposes.

Co-Investments
The AlphaKeys Fund does not intend to co-invest with the Underlying Fund nor any of their affiliates;
however, affiliates of the AlphaKeys Fund, the Member Designee and the Administrator may co-
invest in investment opportunities with the Underlying Fund or other investment vehides managed
or controlled by Blackstone.
Other Relationships
Affiliates of the Member Designee and the Administrator, including other investment funds advised
by the Member Designee or the Administrator, may invest (on a proprietary basis and with client
funds) in other investment vehicles managed or controlled by Blackstone or in high yield securities or
other debt or other instruments issued by an Underlying Fund portfolio company. As a result, such
affiliates may, among other things, hold, directly or indirectly, investments that are senior to the
Underlying Fund's investments in the same portfolio company, have interests in conflict with those
of the AlphaKeys Fund and may be in competition for the same investment opportunities.
Investment Banking Fees; Commercial Banking Fees and Lending
Certain affiliates of the Member Designee and the Administrator may receive investment banking
fees from portfolio companies in which the Underlying Fund invests and in respect of other
transactions in which the Underlying Fund is involved. Such fees could be paid for providing services
in connection with: (i) equity or debt financings; (ii) the acquisition, disposition or sale of portfolio
companies; or (iii) other investment banking services. Following consummation of an investment by
the Underlying Fund, certain affiliates of the Member Designee and the Administrator may also
receive normal and customary fees with respect to private placements, financial advisory and other
services provided by such affiliates of the Member Designee or the Administrator to a portfolio
company. In addition, certain affiliates of the Member Designee or 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 cases
where the Underlying Fund's portfolio companies are the borrowers, such portfolio companies may
convey a security interest in certain assets (induding 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 Member Designee or the Administrator may
purchase or sell assets to or from the Underlying Fund.
Advisory Activities
In the regular course of business, certain affiliates of the Member Designee and the Administrator
may be engaged to act as a financial advisor to a party or parties competing for the same or similar
investments as the Underlying Fund.
Allocation of Investment Opportunities
The broad investment objectives of the Underlying Fund may overlap, to some extent, with those of
UBS AG and its affiliates and its institutional and corporate clients. Accordingly, in connection with
their investment activities, certain affiliates of the Member Designee or the Administrator may find
investment opportunities that the Underlying Fund desires to pursue. In these circumstances, it is
possible that such investment opportunities may be taken by such affiliates of the Member Designee
or the Administrator and not by the Underlying Fund. None of the Member Designee, the
Administrator, UBS AG or any of their affiliates will have any duty or obligation to present
investment opportunities to the Underlying Fund before presenting them to their clients or taking
advantage of such opportunities themselves.

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001815
EFTA00237446
Defaulting Members
The Member Designee may face conflicts of interest in pursuing remedies against a Defaulting
Member. For example, some of the remedies allow the Member Designee to cause the sale of the
Interest held by the Defaulting Member to a third party, or the Member Designee, the Administrator
or one of their respective affiliates, or in a transaction in which the Member Designee, the
Administrator or one of their affiliates is acting as agent. Such remedies may benefit the Member
Designee, the Administrator and their affiliates to the exclusion of the AlphaKeys Fund or the non-
Defaulting Members.
Relationship with the Underlying Fund Adviser
The interests of the AlphaKeys Fund may not always be aligned with the interests of Blackstone or its
affiliates. The Underlying Fund General Partner has entered into an agreement with the Placement
Agent, pursuant to which the Placement Agent will receive a one time fee for its placement and
other services with respect to the AlphaKeys Fund. In addition, the Placement Agent and its
affiliates, in the ordinary course of their business, have in the past and may in the future, have other
business relationships giving rise to compensation, such as underwriting, placement agent, market-
making, the provision of custody services for funds managed by Blackstone or its affiliates (including
possibly the Underlying Fund) or investment banking and advisory relationships, with the Underlying
Fund Adviser and others involved with Blackstone, including the portfolio companies of funds
managed by Blackstone or its affiliates, or with parties adverse to Blackstone or such portfolio
companies (such as, for example, parties in competition with Blackstone for the same investment
opportunity).
Conflicts of Interest Relating to Wrap Account Investors
The Member Designee and/or its affiliates may receive compensation from the Underlying Fund in
respect of the investments made by clients of UBSFS in the Advisory Class Interests. Accordingly,
UBSFS and its affiliates may have the incentive to direct such clients to the AlphaKeys Fund rather
than to a different fund that yields lower levels of compensation for the Member Designee and/or its
affiliates.
Other Obligations of the Employees of the Administrator
The officers or employees of the Member Designee and the Administrator will be engaged in
substantial activities other than on behalf of the AlphaKeys Fund. The Member Designee, 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.
Legal Representation
Ropes & Gray LLP has acted as counsel to the AlphaKeys Fund in connection with this offering of the
Interests. Ropes & Gray LLP also acts as counsel to the Member Designee, the Administrator and the
Placement Agent. In connection with this offering and ongoing advice to the AlphaKeys Fund,
Ropes & Gray LLP will not represent any Member.

V. CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following discussion is a general summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax
consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Interests. The discussion herein is intended to
supplement the disdosure in the Underlying Fund Memorandum. Investors are urged to review the
regulatory, tax and ERISA disclosures in the Underlying Fund Memorandum and to consult with their
own 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 deal with all of the U.S. federal income
tax consequences applicable 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, or persons for whom an Interest is not a
capital asset). The tax consequences of an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund will depend not only
on the nature of the AlphaKeys Fund's and the Underlying Fund's operations and then applicable
U.S. federal tax principles, but also on certain factual determinations that cannot be made at this
time, and upon a particular Member's individual circumstances. No advance rulings have been or
will be sought by the AlphaKeys Fund from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") regarding any
matter discussed in this Memorandum.
IN VIEW OF THE FOREGOING, EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX
ADVISOR REGARDING ALL U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE ALPHAKEYS FUND, WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO
SUCH INVESTOR'S OWN PARTICULAR TAX SITUATION AND RECENT CHANGES IN APPLICABLE LAW.
For purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. Person" 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 in the United States or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision
thereof, (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. person.
Non-U.S. Persons
The AlphaKeys Fund is not intended for investment by non-U.S. Persons and such non-U.S. persons
will generally not be permitted to invest in the AlphaKeys Fund unless specifically approved by the
Member Designee. The tax treatment of any non-U.S. Persons may in part depend on investments
made by the Underlying Fund. An investment in the AlphaKeys Fund may cause a non-U.S. Person
to pay taxes and file tax returns in the U.S., as well as other jurisdictions. Prospective Members and
Members are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the advisability of an
investment in the AlphaKeys Fund.
Members, Not Fund, Subject to Tax
Fund Status. Under current Treasury Regulations, a domestic entity that has two or more members
and that is not organized as a corporation under U.S. federal or state law will generally be classified
ER305378-MAXWELL -36-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001817
EFTA00237448
as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless it elects to be treated as a corporation.
The AlphaKeys Fund represents that it will not elect to be dassified as a corporation for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. The Underlying Fund intends to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. Thus, subject to the discussion of "publidy traded partnerships" below, each
of the AlphaKeys Fund and the Underlying Fund expects that it will be treated as a partnership for
U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, dassification of an entity as a partnership for U.S.
federal income tax purposes may not be respected for state or local tax purposes.
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 "publidy traded partnership." The Member
Designee generally intends to operate the AlphaKeys Fund so it will not be treated as a publicly
traded partnership including, as necessary, restricting the ability of Members to sell or transfer their
Interests. In addition, the Underlying Fund intends to conduct its activities to ensure that it is not
treated as a publicly traded partnership.
The discussion below assumes that both the AlphaKeys Fund and the Underlying Fund will be
treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No application has been or is
contemplated to be made to the IRS for a ruling on the classification of the AlphaKeys Fund or the
Underlying Fund for tax purposes.
Taxation of Fund. As partnerships, subject to the discussion under "Tax Returns and Audits" below,
neither the AlphaKeys Fund nor the Underlying Fund is itself generally subject to U.S. federal income
tax. The AlphaKeys Fund will file an annual partnership information return with the IRS which
reports the results of its operations.
Taxation of Members. Provided that the AlphaKeys Fund is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, each Member will be required to report on its federal income tax return, and
will be subject to tax in respect of, its distributive share of each item of the AlphaKeys Fund's
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for each taxable year of the AlphaKeys Fund ending with or
within the Member's taxable year. (See "—Allocations of Income, Gain, Loss, Deduction and
Credit" below.) Each item generally will have the same character as if the Member had realized the
item directly. Members must report these items regardless of the extent to which, or whether, they
receive corresponding distributions from the AlphaKeys Fund for such taxable year, and thus may
incur income tax liabilities in excess of any distributions from the AlphaKeys Fund. Moreover, the
AlphaKeys Fund, through its investments in the Underlying Fund, may be deemed to invest in certain
securities, such as original issue discount obligations or preferred stock with redemption or
repayment premiums that could cause the AlphaKeys Fund, and consequently the Members, to
recognize taxable income without receiving any cash.
The AlphaKeys Fund will use the accrual method of accounting. The AlphaKeys Fund's fiscal year
will be the calendar year, unless the Code requires a year other than the calendar year to be used as
the taxable year, in which case the fiscal year will be the taxable year required by the Code.
The AlphaKeys Fund will provide each Member with the information required to report its allocable
share of the AlphaKeys Fund's tax items for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Members 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. Thus, the receipt of such information
by a Member may be significantly delayed beyond the date on which a Member's tax return is due.
The K-1s will not be available prior to April 15, and accordingly, Members will need to
obtain extensions of time to file their own individual tax returns. Each Member is responsible
for keeping its own records for determining such Member's tax basis in its Interest and calculating
and reporting any gain or loss resulting from the AlphaKeys Fund distribution or disposition of an
Interest.

EFTA00237449
Pass-Through Items of the Underlying Fund. The remainder of this discussion describes the U.S.
federal income tax consequences of the realization of items of income, gain, deduction, loss and
credit by the AlphaKeys Fund and the allocations thereof to the Members. Substantially all of these
items will be realized in the first instance by the Underlying Fund and allocated to the AlphaKeys
Fund and subsequently reallocated to the Members. Unless otherwise specified, references in the
subsequent discussion to the realization of items by the AlphaKeys Fund include a realization of such
items by the Underlying Fund and the allocation of such items to the AlphaKeys Fund.
Allocations of Income. Gain. Loss. Deduction and Credit. Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the
AlphaKeys Fund's items of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and credit are generally allocated so
as to take into account the varying interests of the Members over the term of the AlphaKeys Fund.
Section 704(b) of the Code provides that a partner's distributive share of items of partnership
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined in accordance with the partnership
agreement if such allocations have "substantial economic effect," but must otherwise be
determined in accordance with such partner's economic interest in such partnership. The Member
Designee believes, in general, that the allocations provided for by the LLC Agreement should have
"substantial economic effect" or are otherwise in accordance with the Members' interests in the
AlphaKeys Fund. It is possible that the IRS may challenge the AlphaKeys Fund's allocations as lacking
"substantial economic effect" and attempt to reallocate items of income, gain, loss, deduction or
credit. Any such reallocation of tax items may have adverse tax and financial consequences to a
Member.
Tax Treatment of Distributions. A Member generally will not recognize gain or loss on the receipt of
a distribution of cash or property from the AlphaKeys Fund or as a result of the receipt of cash or
other property by the AlphaKeys Fund from the Underlying Fund. A Member, however, will
recognize gain on the receipt of a distribution of money and, in some cases, marketable securities,
from the AlphaKeys Fund (induding any constructive distribution of money resulting from a
reduction of the Member's share of the indebtedness of the AlphaKeys Fund) to the extent such
cash distribution or the fair market value of certain marketable securities distributed exceeds such
Member's "adjusted tax basis" (as defined below) in its Interest. Such distribution would constitute
taxable income to such Member and would be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of its
Interest and the AlphaKeys Fund would likewise recognize gain on such a distribution from the
Underlying Fund (See "—Tax Treatment on Sale of an Interest," below.) The recognition of gain by
the AlphaKeys Fund that passes through to a Member should result in an increased basis in the
Interest of the Member, preventing double recognition of gain. Generally, if a Member has held its
Interest (or the AlphaKeys Fund has held its interest in the Underlying Fund) for more than one year,
any such gain will be long-term capital gain.
In general and with certain exceptions, a Member will recognize gain on the complete liquidation of
its Interest only to the extent the amount of money received (actually or constructively) exceeds its
adjusted tax basis in its Interest. Distributions of certain marketable securities may be treated as
distributions of money for purposes of determining gain. Any gain recognized by a Member on the
receipt of a distribution from the AlphaKeys Fund generally will be capital gain, but may be taxable
as ordinary income, either in whole or in part, under certain circumstances. (See "—Tax Treatment
on Sale of an Interest," below.) No loss can be recognized on a distribution in liquidation of an
Interest, unless the Member received no property other than money, "unrealized receivables" and
"inventory" (as those terms are defined in the Code). For purposes of this restriction, marketable
securities are not treated as money, unrealized receivables or inventory.
A Member's initial tax basis in its Interest generally will be equal to such Member's initial capital
contribution to the AlphaKeys Fund. A Member's adjusted tax basis in its Interest generally will be
equal to such Member's initial tax basis, increased by the sum of (i) any additional capital
contribution such Member makes to the AlphaKeys Fund, (ii) the Member's allocable share of the
income of the AlphaKeys Fund, and (iii) increases in the Member's allocable share of the
ER305378-MAXWELL -38-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001819
EFTA00237450
indebtedness of the AlphaKeys Fund, and reduced, but not below zero, by the sum of (iv) the
Member's allocable share of the losses of the AlphaKeys Fund, and (v) the amount of money or the
adjusted tax basis of property distributed to such Member, including constructive distributions of
money resulting from reductions in such Member's allocable share of indebtedness of the AlphaKeys
Fund.
Limitations on Deductibility of Fund Deductions and Losses. While the AlphaKeys Fund is not
intended to be a "tax shelter," it is possible that losses and expenses could exceed the AlphaKeys
Fund's income and gain during a taxable year. A Member is allowed to deduct its allocable share of
Fund losses (if any) only to the extent of such Member's adjusted tax basis in its Interest at the end
of the taxable year in which the losses occur. In addition, Members who are individuals, trusts,
partnerships or certain closely held corporations could be subject to various limitations on their ability
to deduct their allocable share of deductions and losses of the AlphaKeys Fund against other
income. Such limitations include those relating to "passive losses" (as defined under Section 469 of
the Code), amounts "at risk" (as defined under Section 465 of the Code), "investment interest" (as
defined under Section 163 of the Code and discussed more fully below), capital losses (under
Section 1211 and 1212 of the Code) and miscellaneous itemized investment expenses (under
Sections 67 and 68 of the Code). Because of some of these limitations, it is possible that in the
situation in which the AlphaKeys Fund, through its investment in the Underlying Fund has losses,
certain Members may not be able to use those losses against other income they may have. Also, if
the AlphaKeys Fund has losses from some activities and income from different activities, certain
Members may not be able to net such Fund losses against such Fund income. In addition, all or a
portion of the interest paid or accrued by an individual Member who finances his or her investment
in the AlphaKeys Fund by borrowing may be subject to the investment interest deduction limitation.
Moreover, all or a portion of any interest expense incurred by the Underlying Fund and allocable to a
Member will be subject to the same limitation. Under that limitation, the ability to deduct such
interest is limited to the Member's net investment income for the taxable year. For this purpose,
"net investment income" generally excludes net long term capital gains and "qualified dividend
income" (See "—Preferential Tax Rates," below), except to the extent the taxpayer elects to forego
the preferential rate of taxation on such amounts.
Certain of the AlphaKeys Fund's direct expenses (including the Administrative Fee, but not including
organizational and syndication expenses which are subject to other deductibility limitations discussed
below) will, and it is possible that some or all of the AlphaKeys Fund's allocable share of the
Underlying Fund's expenses (induding any management or similar fees paid by the Underlying 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). Each prospective investor should consult with
its own tax advisor regarding the application to it of these and other rules described above in respect
of an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund.
Tax Benefit. There can be no assurance that AlphaKeys Fund losses will produce a tax benefit in the
year incurred or that such losses will be available to offset a Member's share of income in
subsequent years.
ER305378-MAXWELL -39-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001820
EFTA00237451
Tax Returns and Audits. The Tax Matters Partner (as defined below) will decide how items will be
reported on the AlphaKeys Fund's tax returns, and all Members are required under the Code to treat
the items consistently on their own returns, unless they file a statement with the IRS disclosing the
inconsistency. Under current law, in the event that the income tax returns of the AlphaKeys Fund
are audited by the IRS, the tax treatment of AlphaKeys Fund income and deductions generally is
determined at the AlphaKeys Fund level in a single proceeding, rather than in individual audits of the
Members. UBS Fund Advisor, L.L.C. or another Member appointed by the Member Designee, will be
designated as the "Tax Matters Partner" for the AlphaKeys Fund, as such term is defined in Section
6231(aX7) of the Code. In such capacity, the Tax Matters Partner has considerable authority to
make decisions affecting the tax treatment and procedural rights of all Members. In addition, the
Tax Matters Partner has the authority to bind certain Members to settlement agreements (unless,
under certain permitted circumstances, a Member affirmatively acts to contest such proposed
adjustments on its own behalf) and the right on behalf of all Members to extend the statute of
limitations relating to the Members' liabilities with respect to Fund items. The Underlying Fund will
have its own tax matters partner. Notwithstanding anything else in this Memorandum to the
contrary, the Members may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind,
information regarding the tax treatment, tax structure and tax strategies of the AlphaKeys Fund, the
offering of its interests and its transactions all within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.6011-
4(b)(3). For the avoidance of doubt, this authorization is not intended to permit disclosure of the
names of, or other identifying information regarding, the participants in this offering, or of any
information or the portion of any materials not relevant to the tax treatment or tax structure of the
offering.
The recently enacted Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 implemented new partnership audit procedures
which will generally apply to taxable years of a partnership beginning on or after January 1, 2018
(unless the partnership elects to apply the rules for an earlier year). In general, if the AlphaKeys Fund
is audited under these new rules, any adjustments to items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit
of the AlphaKeys Fund (and any Member's distributive share thereof), shall be determined at the
partnership level, and, unless certain elections are made, the AlphaKeys Fund will be liable for paying
an imputed underpayment of tax based on such adjustments and associated penalties and interest.
Adjustments reallocating the distributive share of an item from one Member to another will not be
netted; instead, the imputed underpayment of tax in that case will be calculated without taking into
account the decrease in a Member's share of income or gain or the increase in a Member's share of
deduction or credit. Any imputed underpayment of tax generally would be assessed in the year the
adjustment is finalized rather than the audited year and the amount of such tax generally would be
determined using the highest statutory rates, ignoring Member-level attributes. As a result, some or
all of the Members (including, without limitation, Members who were not Members during the
audited year) might economically bear a greater amount of imputed tax (and associated penalties
and interest) than the tax they would have borne if the adjustment had passed through to the
Members.
Under certain circumstances, the AlphaKeys Fund might be able to demonstrate that the imputed
underpayment of tax should be reduced with respect to specific Members. Establishing such a
reduction might require that Members file amended returns, and pay tax, interest and penalties.
There can be no guarantee that the AlphaKeys Fund will be able to (or if it is able to, will choose to)
take any such actions to reduce the imputed underpayment of tax. Alternatively, the AlphaKeys Fund
could elect to have taxes (and any associated interest and penalties) in respect of adjustments
assessed and collected at the Member-level by issuing statements of adjustment to the persons who
were Members during the audited year. In such case, the audited year Members would be required
to pay any additional tax attributable to their share of such adjustments as an additional tax for the
taxable year in which the statements are provided. Members may be required to pay interest (at an
increased rate) and penalties as a result of such adjustments. There can be no guarantee that the
AlphaKeys Fund will or will not make such an election, or that such an election, if made, would not
ER305378-MAXWELL -4o-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001821
EFTA00237452
result in a greater economic cost for a particular Member. The new partnership audit rules will also
apply to an audit of the Underlying Fund. There are uncertainties regarding how the new rules apply
in connection with tiered partnerships. Under the new rules, a "partnership representative" is
designated to represent the partnership in connection with any partnership audit. Once the new
rules go into effect, it is expected that UBS Fund Advisor, L.L.C. or another Member appointed by
the Member Designee shall be the partnership representative of the AlphaKeys Fund.
Tax Elections. The AlphaKeys Fund may make various elections for U.S. federal income tax purposes
which could result in certain items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit being treated
differently for tax and accounting purposes.
For example, under Section 754 of the Code, the AlphaKeys Fund generally may elect to adjust the
basis of its assets in the event of certain distributions to a Member, or a transfer of an Interest from a
Member to a new or existing Member. A Section 754 election has not been made to date, and
there can be no assurance that the AlphaKeys Fund either will, or will not, make such an election.
Such an election, if made, could either increase or decrease the value of an Interest to the remaining
Members or the transferee, respectively, because the election would increase or decrease the basis
of the AlphaKeys Fund's assets for purposes of computing such Members' or such transferee's
distributive share of AlphaKeys Fund income, gains, losses and deductions.
The AlphaKeys Fund must make these basis adjustments in the case of (1) a transfer of an Interest, if
the AlphaKeys Fund's assets have a built-in loss of more than $250,000 immediately following the
transfer, or (2) a distribution of AlphaKeys Fund property, if the recipient acquires a basis in the
property that exceeds by more than $250,000 the basis the AlphaKeys Fund had in the property, or
a distribution where the distributee Member recognizes a loss of more than $250,000. To
determine whether the mandatory basis adjustment rules will be triggered upon a Member's transfer
or withdrawal from the AlphaKeys Fund, the Tax Matters Partner may request such Member to
provide certain information, induding information regarding such Member's tax basis in its Interest.
As a result, some or all of the Members' distributive shares of AlphaKeys Fund income, gains, losses
and deductions may be adjusted in accordance with these rules.
Tax Treatment of Fund Investments
In General. The AlphaKeys Fund expects to act as an investor, and not as a trader or dealer, with
respect to its investments. For purposes of this discussion, it is assumed that the Underlying Fund
will also act as a trader or investor, and not as a dealer, with respect to their investments. In general,
a trader and an investor are persons who buy and sell securities for their own account. A dealer, on
the other hand, is a person who purchases securities for resale to customers rather than for
investment or speculation.
Gains and Losses. Generally, the gains and losses realized by a trader or investor on the sale of
assets are capital gains and losses. Thus, subject to certain currency exchange gains and certain
other transactions giving rise to ordinary income (discussed below), the AlphaKeys Fund generally
expects that its gains and losses attributable to the sale or exchange of investments held by the
Underlying Fund typically will be capital gains and capital losses. These capital gains and losses may
be long-term or short-term, depending, in general, upon the length of time that the Underlying
Fund 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. (See "—Preferential Tax Rates," below.)
To the extent that the Underlying Fund's investments are made in securities denominated in a
foreign currency, gain or loss realized by the Underlying Fund and, in turn, the AlphaKeys Fund,
frequently will be affected by the fluctuation in the value of such foreign currencies relative to the
value of the dollar. Generally, gains or losses with respect to the Underlying Fund's investments in
common stock of foreign issuers will be taxed as capital gains or losses at the time of the disposition
ER305378-MAXWELL -41-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001822
EFTA00237453
of such stock. (But see "—Tax Treatment of Members with Respect to Foreign Investments,"
below.) However, under Section 988 of the Code, gains and losses of the Underlying Fund on the
acquisition and disposition of foreign currency (i.e., the purchase of foreign currency and subsequent
use of the currency to acquire stock) will be treated as ordinary income or loss. Therefore, if the
Underlying Fund does not immediately convert any foreign currency proceeds into dollars, upon any
later conversion, the AlphaKeys Fund would recognize ordinary income or loss as a result of
exchange rate fluctuation in the interim. Moreover, under Section 988 of the Code, gains or losses
on the disposition of debt securities denominated in foreign currency to the extent attributable to
the fluctuation in the value of the foreign currency between the date of acquisition of the debt
security and the date of disposition or settlement and gains or losses realized in connection with
foreign currency hedging transactions will be treated as ordinary income or loss.
The AlphaKeys Fund may also realize ordinary income or loss with respect to the Underlying Fund's
investments in portfolio companies treated as partnerships that are engaged in a trade or business.
Interest. Members generally will be taxable on their allocable share of the AlphaKeys Fund's interest
income, at ordinary income tax rates, when such amounts are inducted in the AlphaKeys Fund's
taxable income under the accrual method of accounting. In addition, the AlphaKeys Fund, through
its investments in the Underlying Fund, may be deemed to hold debt obligations with "original issue
discount." In such case, the AlphaKeys Fund would be required to include amounts in taxable
income on a current basis even though the receipt of such amounts may occur in a subsequent year.
The AlphaKeys Fund, through its investments in the Underlying Fund, may also be deemed to
purchase contingent debt instruments. All or part of the gain on the disposition of contingent debt
instruments may be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as ordinary income rather than as
capital gain. In addition, the Underlying Fund may purchase debt instruments with market discount. If
the Underlying Fund purchases a debt instrument for an amount that is less than its stated
redemption price at maturity (or, in the case of a debt instrument issued with original issue
discount, for an amount that is less than its adjusted issue price), the amount of the difference
between the purchase price and such stated redemption price at maturity or adjusted issue price
will be treated as "market discount" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless such difference
is less than a specified de minimis amount. Under the market discount rules, the Underlying
Fund, and in turn the AlphaKeys Fund, will generally be required to treat any principal payment
(or, in the case of an original issue discount instrument, any payment that does not constitute
"qualified stated interest," which is stated interest payable at least annually at a single fixed rate or
certain qualified floating rates) on, or any gain on the sale, exchange, or redemption of, a debt
instrument as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount which has not previously been
included in income and is treated as having accrued on such debt instrument at, or prior to, the
time of such payment or disposition. In addition, if the Underlying Fund has borrowed to
purchase such a debt instrument or a Member has borrowed to purchase its Interest in the
AlphaKeys Fund, then the AlphaKeys Fund or such Member, respectively, may be required to
defer, until the maturity of such debt instrument or the earlier disposition of such debt instrument
in a taxable transaction, the deduction of a portion of the interest expense on such borrowing to
the extent allocable to market discount debt instruments. Market discount in respect of a debt
instrument generally is considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of acquisition
to the maturity date of such debt instrument, unless the holder elects to accrue market discount
on the debt instrument under the constant yield method.
Options. Swaps and Credit-Linked Securities. Short Sales. and Other Similar Transactions. The
AlphaKeys Fund, through its investment in the Underlying Fund, may be deemed to be engaged in
transactions involving options, swaps and credit-linked securities, short sales, and other similar
transactions. Consequently, the AlphaKeys Fund may be subject to certain rules relating to
"constructive sales," "short sales," "straddles," and "section 1256 contracts", which may affect the
holding period for a particular security or otherwise affect the characterization of certain capital
gain or loss as long-term or short-term, or affect the timing of the recognition of certain capital
ER305378-MAXWELL -42-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001823
EFTA00237454
gain or loss. Moreover, the straddle rules and short sale rules may require the capitalization of
interest and certain other carrying charges attributable to investments in certain securities
positions. The limitation on itemized deductions described above under, "Limitations on
Deductibility of Fund Deductions and Losses" may also apply to certain swap payments.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a "straddle" generally means the holding of "offsetting
positions with respect to personal property." In general, investment positions will be treated as
offsetting if there is a substantial diminution of the risk of loss from holding one position by reason
of holding one or more other positions. If two or more positions constitute a straddle, a loss from
one position must be deferred to the extent of any unrecognized gain in an offsetting position.
Moreover, in certain circumstances, long-term capital gain may be recharacterized as short-term
capital gain and short-term capital loss as long-term capital loss.
Certain regulated futures contracts, certain foreign currency contracts, and certain other contracts
("section 1256 contracts") will be subject to "mark-to-market" rules, so that any unrealized gain
or loss in any section 1256 contract will generally be treated as realized for U.S. federal income tax
purposes at the end of a taxable year or upon its termination or other disposition (including upon
exercise). In general, such gain or loss will be 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gain or
loss. Any such gain or loss recognized by a non-corporate Member will be subject to special
carryover rules. Special timing and character rules apply to certain hedging transactions,
"conversion transactions," "wash sales," and options (such as equity options) that are not section
1256 contracts.
A short sale ordinarily will not result in a gain or loss until the short seller delivers property to cover
its prior sale, except that, under the "constructive sale" rules of section 1259 of the Code, any
gain from a short sale against certain appreciated financial positions held by the short seller
generally must be recognized at the time of such short sale, rather than upon the closing of such
short sale. In certain circumstances, capital gain from the closing of a short sale will be treated as
short-term capital gain and capital loss from such closing will be treated as long-term capital loss.
In addition to certain short sales against property owned by the taxpayer (as discussed above),
under the constructive sale rules of section 1259 of the Code, a taxpayer may be required to
currently recognize gain with respect to certain appreciated financial positions held by such
taxpayer if the taxpayer (or a related person) (a) enters into an "offsetting notional principal
contract" with respect to the same or substantially identical property constituting such appreciated
financial position, (b) enters into a futures or forward contract to deliver the same or substantially
identical property constituting such appreciated financial position, or (c) in the case of an
appreciated financial position that is a short sale or a contract described in clause (a) or (b) with
respect to any property, acquires the same or substantially identical property underlying such short
position or contract.
Non-Cash Income. The Underlying Fund may participate in reorganizations, restructurings, and
other transactions involving portfolio companies in which it may receive securities or other property
in exchange for securities. To the extent that these transactions do not qualify as tax-free
reorganizations under the Code or are otherwise subject to tax, the AlphaKeys Fund may be required
to recognize income without the receipt of cash in respect of such income.
Organizational or Syndication Expenses. In general, neither the AlphaKeys Fund nor any Member
may deduct organizational or syndication expenses. 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. If the AlphaKeys Fund is
liquidated prior to the end of the amortization period, unamortized organizational expenses may be
deducted to the extent allowable under Section 165 of the Code. Syndication expenses, which may
include, without limitation, Placement Fees, brokerage fees, registration fees, certain legal fees, and
certain accounting fees for preparation of offering materials, must be capitalized and cannot be
amortized or otherwise deducted. As such, the capitalization of such syndication expenses may
ER305378-MAXWELL -43-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001824
EFTA00237455
result in increased capital loss or decreased capital gain on the disposition or liquidation of an
Interest. The foregoing rules also apply to the Underlying Fund.
Preferential T. Rates. For individuals, the maximum ordinary income tax rate is currently 39.6%
and the maximum income tax rate for most long-term capital gains is currently 20%, although in
either case the effective rate may be higher due to the phase out of certain tax deductions and
exemptions. An individual taxpayer may, in general, offset capital losses against capital gains. To
the extent the individual taxpayer's capital losses in a given year exceed his capital gains for such
year, such excess may be used to offset up to an additional $3,000 of such individual taxpayer's
ordinary income in such year. Any unused portion of such excess can be carried forward to future
years (but not carried back to prior years) to be offset in such future years against the individual
taxpayer's capital gains plus up to $3,000 of ordinary income. Furthermore, a 3.8% Medicare
contribution tax will be imposed on the "net investment income" (as defined in Section 1411 of the
Code and the Treasury 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. For corporate taxpayers, capital gains are taxed at the same rates as ordinary
income, with a current maximum tax rate of 35%. Capital losses may be offset only against capital
gains and unused capital losses may be carried back three years (subject to certain limitations) and
carried forward five years.
Currently, qualified dividend income of individual taxpayers is subject to a maximum rate of tax
equal to 20%. Qualified dividend income generally includes dividends received from domestic
corporations, and dividends received from foreign corporations if such foreign corporations are
qualified foreign corporations of a foreign country which has an income tax treaty with the United
States, which the U.S. Treasury Department determines to be satisfactory for these purposes and
which includes an exchange of information provision, or if such dividend is paid in respect of stock
which is readily tradable on an established U.S. securities market. It may also include amounts
treated as constructive distributions on preferred stock under Section 305(c) of the Code, which, like
original issue discount on debt instruments, must be included in the gross income of the holder on a
current basis even though the receipt of such amounts may occur in a subsequent year. In order for
the reduced rate of taxation to apply, certain holding period and other requirements must be met.
Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors to determine the impact, if any, such
rules have on them.
Personal Holding Companies. The AlphaKeys Fund through its investment in the Underlying Fund,
may be deemed to own stock or securities of corporations treated as personal holding companies
("PHCs") under the Code. Currently, PHCs are subject to an additional tax on their undistributed
income equal to 20%.
Tax Treatment on Sale of an Interest
A sale of all or part of a Member's Interest generally will result in the recognition of gain or loss in an
amount equal to the difference between the amount of the sales proceeds or distribution (including
any constructive distribution) and such Member's adjusted tax basis for the portion of the Interest
disposed of. Such Member's adjusted tax basis will be adjusted for this purpose by its allocable
share of the AlphaKeys Fund's income or loss for the year of such sale. Any gain or loss recognized
with respect to such a sale generally will be treated as capital gain or loss and will be long-term
capital gain or loss if the Interest has been held for more than one year; provided that a Capital
Contribution by a Member within the one-year period ending on the date of sale may cause part of
such gain or loss to be short-term. To the extent that the proceeds of the sale are attributable to a
Member's allocable share of certain ordinary income items (such as "inventory" or "unrealized
receivables", as such terms are defined in the Code) of the AlphaKeys Fund and such proceeds
exceed the Member's adjusted tax basis attributable to such ordinary income items, any gain will be
treated as ordinary income. A Member will be required to recognize the full amount of any such
ER305378-MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001825
EFTA00237456
ordinary income even if that amount exceeds the overall gain on the sale and even if the Member
recognizes an overall loss on the sale.
Tax Treatment of Members with Respect to Foreign Investments
In General. The Underlying Fund may make investments outside of the United States. Certain non-
U.S. investments, including investments in "controlled foreign corporations" ("CFCs") and "passive
foreign investment companies" ("PFICs") are subject to special rules and may cause a Member to
recognize taxable income prior to the AlphaKeys Fund's receipt of distributable proceeds, pay an
interest charge on receipts that are deemed as having been deferred, or recognize ordinary income
that otherwise would have been treated as capital gain.
The Underlying Fund may make investments that subject the AlphaKeys Fund and/or the Members
directly or indirectly to taxation and/or tax-filing obligations in non-U.S. jurisdictions, including
withholding taxes on dividends, interest and capital gains. In particular, the Underlying 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 Members 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 Members may depend in part on the activities and investments of the Underlying
Fund, as well as the AlphaKeys Fund. The AlphaKeys Fund will be limited in its ability to avoid
adverse non-U.S. tax consequences resulting from the Underlying Fund's underlying investments.
Furthermore, some Members may not be eligible for certain or any treaty benefits. Subject to
applicable limitations, a Member 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, a Member may be able to deduct (subject
to certain limitations) its share of such non-U.S. taxes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Certain Reporting Requirements. U.S. Persons that own (directly or through the AlphaKeys Fund and
the Underlying Fund) interests in foreign partnerships or stock in foreign corporations, including
CFCs and PFICs, are subject to special reporting requirements under the Code and the failure to
meet these reporting requirements may result in substantial penalties. For example, a U.S. Person
may be required to file an IRS Form 926 upon the direct or indirect transfer by such U.S. Person of
cash or property to a foreign corporation if immediately after such transfer the U.S. Person holds,
directly or indirectly, at least 10% of the total voting power or total value of such foreign
corporation, or if the amount of cash or the value of the property transferred by such U.S. Person
during the 12-month period ending on the date of the transfer exceeds $100,000. Under current
Treasury Regulations, this reporting must be made by the AlphaKeys Fund's Members and may not
be satisfied by the AlphaKeys Fund. A U.S. Person who fails to timely file a Form 926 when required
could be subject to a penalty for such failure to file equaling 10% of the fair market value of the
property transferred.
Certain U.S. shareholders of a PFIC are required to file an annual information return with the IRS
(regardless of whether such 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 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.
ER305378-MAXWELL -45-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001826
EFTA00237457
In addition, subject to certain exceptions, a U.S. Member who is an individual will be required to
report annually to the IRS such U.S. Member's interest in "foreign financial assets." Such reporting
requirements may also apply to certain U.S. entities once the IRS releases further authority on point.
Each prospective investor should consult with its own tax advisor regarding such reporting
requirements.
AMT Considerations
Prospective investors may be subject to the U.S. alternative minimum tax ("AMT") and should
consider the tax consequences of an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund in view of their AMT
position, taking into account the special rules that apply in computing the AMT, induding the
adjustments to depreciation deductions, the special limitations on the use of net operating losses,
and in the case of individual taxpayers, the complete disallowance of miscellaneous itemized
deductions and deductions for state and local taxes.
Special Considerations Applicable to 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 gain 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 a
CFC if a tax-exempt organization is a "United States Shareholder" (as defined in the Code) with
respect to such CFC.
A tax-exempt entity deriving gross income characterized as UBTI that equals or 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 Underlying Fund incurs acquisition indebtedness, a tax-
exempt Member generally would be deemed to have acquisition indebtedness equal to its allocable
portion of such acquisition indebtedness. If a tax-exempt Member incurs indebtedness to acquire its
Interest, such indebtedness generally would also be treated as acquisition indebtedness.
In addition, income arising from an investment by the Underlying Fund in a flow-through entity for
U.S. federal income tax purposes that holds operating assets or that has itself incurred acquisition
indebtedness generally will be UBTI. The AlphaKeys Fund will not structure its investments or alter
its activities so as to avoid UBTI. In particular, the AlphaKeys Fund will not be obligated to hold any
portion of its investment in the Underlying Fund through any parallel fund or non-U.S. feeder
vehicle. Since neither the AlphaKeys Fund nor the Underlying Fund are required to avoid generating
UBTI, tax-exempt investors may recognize a significant amount of UBTI as a result of an investment
in the AlphaKeys Fund and, accordingly, are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors
regarding the advisability of an investment in the AlphaKeys Fund.
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.
ER305378-MAXWELL -46-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001827
EFTA00237458
Tax Shelter Rules
The AlphaKeys Fund or the Underlying Fund may engage in transactions or make investments that
would subject the Underlying Fund, the AlphaKeys Fund, their investors and/or their advisors to
special rules requiring such transactions or investments by the AlphaKeys Fund or Underlying Fund or
investments in the AlphaKeys Fund or Underlying Fund to be reported and/or otherwise disclosed to
the IRS, including to the IRS's Office of Tax Shelter Analysis (the "Tax Shelter Rules"). A transaction
may be subject to reporting or disclosure if it is described in any of several categories of transactions,
which include, among others, transactions that result in the incurrence of a loss or losses exceeding
certain thresholds. In addition, an investor may have disclosure obligations with respect to its
interest in the AlphaKeys Fund if the investor (or the AlphaKeys Fund or Underlying Fund, in certain
cases) participates in a reportable transaction. The Tax Shelter Rules are, in part, vague and not
definitive and the AlphaKeys Fund may file protective disclosures as a protection against the
substantial penalties which could be imposed for failure to file. Investors should consult their
own tax advisors about their obligation to report or disclose to the IRS information about
their investment in the AlphaKeys Fund and participation in the AlphaKeys Fund's and the
Underlying Fund's income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to transactions or
investments subject to these rules. The AlphaKeys Fund may provide to its advisors identifying
information about its investors and their participation in the AlphaKeys Fund and the AlphaKeys
Fund's (and Underlying Fund's) income, gain, loss or deduction from those transactions or
investments, and the AlphaKeys Fund or its advisors may disclose this information to the IRS upon its
request. Significant penalties may apply for failure to comply with these rules.
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. State and local tax laws often differ from U.S. federal tax laws with respect to, among other
things, the treatment of specific items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit. The AlphaKeys
Fund, as well as the Members, may be subject to various state and local taxes. In addition to being
taxed in its own state or locality of residence, a Member may be subject to return filing obligations
and income, franchise and other taxes in jurisdictions in which the AlphaKeys Fund or the Underlying
Fund operates.
FATCA
Very generally and with limited exceptions, pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, as
modified by Treasury Regulations, intergovernmental agreements and implementing non-U.S. laws
and regulations, and any current and future guidance thereunder (collectively "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
(induding 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 is currently in effect with respect to payments other than gross proceeds and is
expected to be in effect with respect to withholding on gross proceeds beginning after December
31, 2018.
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
ER305378-MAXWELL -47-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001828
EFTA00237459
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 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, a non-U.S. fund (such as the Underlying Fund) will be subject to a 30% withholding
tax with respect to VVithhddable 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 non-U.S. 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") if applicable, does not comply with the requirements of an
applicable intergovernmental agreement and any implementing non-U.S. laws and regulations, or
does not otherwise qualify for an exception from the foregoing requirements. In this respect, the
Cayman Islands and the United States on November 29, 2013 entered into an intergovernmental
agreement with respect to FATCA implementation (the "Cayman IGA") under which the Underlying
Fund may be required to obtain and provide to the Cayman Islands government certain information
from each of its investors and meet certain other requirements. If the Underlying Fund complies
with its obligations under the Cayman IGA, the Underlying Fund generally will not be subject to
withholding under FATCA (and, for the avoidance of doubt, will not be required to enter into an FFI
Agreement). 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 Fund also enters
into and complies with the FFI Agreement, applicable intergovernmental agreement or qualifies for
an exception. The economic returns from the Underlying Fund may be significantly reduced as a
result of withholding tax unless it complies with or satisfies an exemption from the requirements
described above.
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. In addition, certain other countries have
passed or may in the future pass legislation similar to FATCA, which may impact the AlphaKeys
Fund, the Underlying Fund and the Members.
For additional information regarding the taxation of the AlphaKeys Fund and the
Underlying Fund, prospective investors are strongly urged to refer to "Regulatory, Tax, and
ERISA Considerations" in the Underlying Fund Memorandum.
THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED TO DESCRIBE FULLY THE U.S.
FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE ALPHAKEYS
FUND. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IS THEREFORE URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR
REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF AN
INVESTMENT IN THE ALPHAKEYS FUND.

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001829
EFTA00237460
VI. REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
U.S. Securities Laws
Securities Act of 1933. The Interests will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any other
securities laws, including state securities or blue sky laws. Interests will be offered and sold without
registration in reliance upon the Securities Act exemption for transactions not involving a public
offering and will be sold only to "accredited investors," as defined in Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act.
Each investor will be required to make customary private placement representations, induding that
such investor is acquiring an Interest for his, her or its own account for investment and not with a
view to resale or distribution. Further, each investor must be prepared to bear the economic risk of
the investment in the Interests for an indefinite period of time, since the Interests cannot be
transferred or resold except as permitted under the LLC Agreement and permitted under the
Securities Ad and any applicable state or non-U.S. securities laws pursuant to registration or an
exemption therefrom. It is extremely unlikely that the Interests will ever be registered under the
Securities Act.
Investment Company Act of 1940. It is anticipated that the AlphaKeys Fund will not be required to
register under the Investment Company Act. The AlphaKeys Fund will rely on the exception
contained in Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act, which exempts issuers whose
outstanding securities are owned exclusively by "qualified purchasers," as defined under the
Investment Company Act. The AlphaKeys Fund will obtain appropriate representations and
undertakings from the investors as to their compliance with the conditions of the exemption.
Standards for Investor Qualification. Each Eligible Purchaser must be: (i) a qualified purchaser under
the Investment Company Act, (ii) an accredited investor under the Securities Ad, and (iii) a U.S.
Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, unless otherwise permitted by law.
The term "qualified purchaser" is defined in Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Ad. A
qualified purchaser includes: (i) any natural person who owns not less than $5 million in investments;
(ii) any company that owns not less than $5 million in qualifying investments that is exclusively
owned directly or indirectly by or for two or more natural persons related as siblings or spouse
(induding former spouses), or direct lineal descendants by birth or adoption, spouses of such
persons, the estates of such persons, or foundations, charitable organizations or trusts established by
or for the benefit of such persons; (iii) any trust not covered by dause (ii) that was not formed for the
purpose of acquiring Interests in the AlphaKeys Fund, as to which the trustee or other person
authorized to make decisions with respect to the trust, and each senior or other person who has
contributed assets to the trust is a person described in clause (i), (ii) or (iv); or (iv) any person, acting
for its own account or the accounts of other qualified purchasers, who in the aggregate owns and
invests, on a discretionary basis, not less than $25 million in qualifying investments. The
determination of whether an investor has sufficient "qualifying investments" is highly complex.
Accordingly, prospective investors should carefully review the materials and questionnaires contained
in the Investor Application of the AlphaKeys Fund, including Annex A contained therein.
The term "accredited investor" is defined under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Ad. An individual generally will qualify as an accredited investor only if he or she (i) has a
net worth (or joint net worth with his or her spouse) in excess of $1 million (calculated by excluding
the value of such individual's primary residence net of any related mortgage up to its fair market
value, excerpt that if the amount of such indebtedness outstanding at the time of sale of securities
exceeds the amount outstanding 60 days before such time, the amount of such excess shall be
included in the investor's liabilities, and reducing that investor's net worth by the amount of any
indebtedness secured by that primary residence that exceeds the value of the primary residence); or
(ii) had individual income of more than $200,000 in each of the last two calendar years and

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001830

reasonably expects to have income of more than $200,000 in the current year; or (iii) had jointly
with his or her spouse income in excess of $300,000 in each of the last two calendar years and
reasonably expects to have joint income in excess of $300,000 in the current year. A partnership,
corporation or business trust will qualify as an accredited investor if either (a) it has assets in excess
of $5 million and was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring Interests or (b) all of its equity
owners are accredited investors (which can include individuals who meet the requirements of dause
(i), (ii) or (iii) in the second sentence of this paragraph). A trust other than a business trust or a
revocable grantor trust will qualify as an accredited investor if either (a) its trustee is a bank or
savings and loan association or (b) it has assets in excess of $5 million, it was not formed for the
specific purpose of acquiring Interests, and its investment decisions are made by a person who is
experienced in business and financial matters and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
investment in Interests. A revocable grantor trust will qualify as an accredited investor if either (a) all
of its grantors are accredited investors (which can be individuals who meet the requirements of
clause (i), (ii) or (iii) in the second sentence of this paragraph) or (b) it would qualify as an accredited
investor as described in the preceding sentence. In general, a trust other than a business trust or a
revocable grantor trust will not qualify as an accredited investor solely because all of its grantors
and/or all of its beneficiaries are accredited investors (although under certain limited circumstances
an irrevocable grantor trust may qualify as an accredited investor on the basis of all of its grantors
being accredited investors).
U.S. Commodity Exchange Act
The Administrator is registered as a "commodity pool operator" with the CFTC and is a member of
the National Futures Association (IAA") 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 4.13(aX3) as a "commodity pool operator" based on the AlphaKeys Fund's
limited trading in commodity interests, and will operate the AlphaKeys Fund as if the Administrator
were exempt from registration with the CFTC as a registered "commodity pool operator." Pursuant
to the exemption under CFTC Rule 4.13(a)(3), the Administrator is not required to deliver a
disclosure document or a certified annual report to investors.
ERISA and Certain other Laws
ERISA governs the investment of the assets of certain employee benefit plans, including IRAs and
entities ("Benefit Plans"). ERISA and the rules and regulations of the Department of Labor ("QQL")
under ERISA contain provisions that should be considered by fiduciaries of those plans and their legal
advisors. The Member Designee will require an ERISA Plan proposing to invest in the AlphaKeys
Fund to represent that it, and any fiduciaries responsible for such investment, are aware of and
understand the AlphaKeys Fund's investment objectives, policies and strategies, 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 and is consistent with the duties and
responsibilities imposed upon fiduciaries with regard to their investment decisions under ERISA
and/or the Code.
Prohibited Transactions. ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, under "prohibited transaction"
provisions, restrict a broad range of transactions involving the assets of ERISA Plans and other plans
subject to such provisions (collectively, "Benefit Plans") and fiduciaries, service providers and certain
other persons having a specified relationship with such plans (referred to as "parties in interest"
under ERISA and "disqualified persons" under Section 4975 of the Code). Fiduciaries of any Benefit
Plan should consult with their counsel to determine if participation in the AlphaKeys Fund is a
transaction which is prohibited by ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Each purchaser or transferee
of an Interest shall be deemed to have represented and agreed that, during the period it holds any
interest in an Interest, either (i) it is not, nor is it using the assets of, a Benefit Plan or a governmental
plan, foreign plan or church plan subject to any federal, state, local or foreign law that is
substantially similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
ER305378-MAXWELL -50-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001831
EFTA00237462
Code ("Similar Law") to acquire and hold such Interests or (ii) its acquisition, holding and disposition
of such Interests does not and will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a violation of Similar Law.
Plan Assets. The Department of Labor ("DOL") has adopted a regulation (the "Plan Assets
Regulation") that defines what constitutes the assets of a Benefit Plan that owns an equity interest in
an entity for purposes of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. Under a look-through rule in such
regulation, when a Benefit Plan owns an equity interest in an entity, such interest and a
proportionate, undivided interest in each of the underlying assets of the entity are treated as if they
were "plan assets" of such Benefit Plan and therefore subject to the fiduciary standards of ERISA
and the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, unless an
exception to such look-through rule applies.
The look-through rule does not apply to an entity in which participation by "Benefit Plan Investors"
(as defined below) in the aggregate is not "significant" (as such term is defined in the Plan Assets
Regulation). For purposes of the Plan Asset Regulation, as modified by ERISA, the term "Denefit Plan
Investor" means (i) any employee benefit plan that is subject to Part 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA
or a "plan" described in Section 4975(eX1) of the Code, and (ii) any entity that is treated as having
"plan assets" of such plans by reason of the Plan Assets Regulation or otherwise. Participation by
Benefit Plan Investors is "significant" if Benefit Plan Investors own, immediately after the most recent
acquisition of any equity interest in the entity, at least 25% of any class of equity interest,
disregarding for purposes of such calculation any interests owned by any person (excluding any
Benefit Plan Investor) having discretionary control of the assets of the AlphaKeys Fund or rendering
investment advice to the AlphaKeys Fund for a fee, and their affiliates (collectively, "Disregarded
Parties").
The AlphaKeys Fund intends to limit participation in the AlphaKeys Fund by Benefit Plan Investors to
less than 25% of the Interests therein so as to comply with the 25% test noted above. In order to
effect this limitation, no purchase, redemption or transfer of an Interest by, or proposed transfer to,
a person will be permitted to the extent that such purchase, redemption or transfer would result in
persons that have represented that they are Benefit Plan Investors owning 25% or more of the
outstanding Interests immediately after such purchase or proposed transfer (determined in
accordance with the Plan Asset Regulations). Accordingly, investors in the AlphaKeys Fund will be
required to represent and agree whether and to what extent they constitute or will constitute
Benefit Plan Investors or Disregarded Parties, and the AlphaKeys Fund, the Member Designee and
the Administrator will be entitled to exclusively rely on such representations and warranties without
any inquiry or diligence. Compliance with the 25% test may require the AlphaKeys Fund to limit the
transferability of Interests to Benefit Plan Investors or to Disregarded Parties.
There can be no assurance that, despite the restrictions relating to purchases or transfers and the
procedures to be employed by the AlphaKeys Fund, participation by Benefit Plan Investors will not be
considered significant for purposes of the Plan Assets Regulation. If the underlying assets of the
AlphaKeys Fund are deemed to be "plan assets," the obligations and other responsibilities of Benefit
Plan sponsors, Benefit Plan fiduciaries and Benefit Plan administrators, and of "parties in interest"
and "disqualified persons" (as defined under ERISA and the Code), under Parts 1 and 4 of Subtitle B
of Title I of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, as applicable, may be expanded, and there may be
an increase in their liability under these and other provisions of ERISA and the Code (except to the
extent (if any) that a favorable statutory or administrative exemption or exception applies); in
addition, various providers of fiduciary or other services to the AlphaKeys Fund, and any other parties
with authority or control with respect to the AlphaKeys Fund, could be deemed to be Benefit Plan
fiduciaries or otherwise parties in interest or disqualified persons by virtue of their provision of such
services (and there could be an improper delegation of authority to such providers).
General. Governmental plans and certain church and other plans, while not subject to the fiduciary
responsibility provisions of ERISA or the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, may nevertheless be
ER305378-MAXWELL -51-
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001832
EFTA00237463
subject to state, federal, or other laws that are substantially similar to the foregoing provisions of
ERISA and the Code. Fiduciaries of any such plans should consult with their counsel before
purchasing any Interests.
Prospective Members should consult with their counsel and advisors as to the provisions of
ERISA and any similar federal, state or local law applicable to an investment in the
AlphaKeys Fund.
Bank Ho/ding Company Act
The Member Designee 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 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 the Underlying
Fund earlier than anticipated by the Member Designee or the dissolution of the AlphaKeys Fund
earlier than anticipated by the Member Designee, potentially having a negative impact on the
returns of the AlphaKeys Fund.
The Member Designee, 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 Member Designee 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 Member Designee to comply with the BHC Act, 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.

APPENDIX A
CONFIDENTIAL PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM OF
BLACKSTONE REAL ESTATE PARTNERS EUROPE V LP.
This Appendix A contains the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of Blackstone Real
Estate Partners Europe V M. (as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time,
collectively, the "Underlying Fund Memorandum").
Each prospective investor should carefully review the Underlying Fund Memorandum, which has
been furnished by Blackstone. Such information has not been prepared by or independently
verified by the AlphaKeys Fund, the Placement Agent, the Member Designee, 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.
Descriptions of any rights, benefits and effects described in the Underlying Fund Memorandum will
inure to the benefit of, and/or apply to, the AlphaKeys Fund as a whole and not to the Members in
the AlphaKeys Fund. Purchasers of Interests will not be limited partners of the Underlying Fund,
will have no direct interest in the Underlying Fund, will have no voting rights in the Underlying Fund
and will have no standing or recourse against any of the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund
General Partner, the Underlying Fund Adviser, their respective affiliates or any of their respective
general partners, managers, investment advisors, officers, directors, employees, partners or
members.
Performance shown in the Underlying Fund Memorandum is that of the funds managed by the
Underlying Fund Adviser. Such performance is not indicative of future results.
The Underlying Fund Memorandum contains certain performance information for funds
and investment products managed by Blackstone and its affiliates (including investment
teams other than those responsible for the Underlying Fund) and with strategies different
from the Underlying Fund and the AlphaKeys Fund. This performance information is
provided solely for background and informational purposes.
The Underlying Fund Memorandum includes a variety of performance information
relating to the Underlying Fund and other investment vehicles managed by the
Underlying Fund General Partner and/or the Underlying Fund Adviser. Information
presented about other funds or selected investments made by the Underlying Fund
General Partner and/or the Underlying Fund Adviser, while informative regarding the
experience of the Underlying Fund General Partner and/or the Underlying Fund Adviser,
are not indicative of, and in some cases may be irrelevant to, an assessment of the
potential performance or investments of the AlphaKeys Fund (in connection with its
investment in the Underlying Fund). While reviewing the performance information set
forth in the Appendix to the Underlying Fund Memorandum, investors should pay
particular attention to the net return information provided in the endnotes to such
Appendix. THE PERFORMANCE SHOWN IN THE UNDERLYING FUND MEMORANDUM IS
NOT THAT OF THE ALPHAKEYS FUND. PERFORMANCE SHOWN IS NOT NET OF
ADDITIONAL FEES THAT WILL BE CHARGED AT THE ALPHAKEYS FUND LEVEL. The returns
of the AlphaKeys Fund will be lower, and may be materially lower, than the returns at the
Underlying Fund level. Performance shown in the Underlying Fund Memorandum does
not include AlphaKeys Fund-level Fees and Expenses or the Placement Fee (if charged).
Such fees will reduce returns. Returns for the AlphaKeys Fund may also differ from the
returns of the Underlying Fund as a result of funds invested in Temporary Investments by
the AlphaKeys Fund and delayed distributions by the AlphaKeys Fund to its investors.
ER305378-MAXWELL A-1

Actual realized returns on unrealized investments will depend on, among other factors, future
operating results, the value of the assets, and market conditions at the time of disposition, legal
and contractual restrictions, any related transaction costs, and the timing and manner of sale, all of
which may differ from the assumptions and circumstances on which the valuations used in the
prior performance data contained in the Underlying Fund Memorandum are based. Accordingly,
the actual realized returns on these unrealized investments may differ materially from the returns
indicated therein. In considering any performance information contained therein, prospective
investors should bear in mind that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results,
and there can be no assurance that the Underlying Fund or the AlphaKeys Fund will achieve
comparable results or that the Underlying Fund will be able to implement its investment strategy,
achieve its investment objectives or avoid substantial losses. In considering the performance
information of BREP Global Funds (as defined in the Underlying Fund Memorandum) please also
see endnote (4) to the Overview of the Underlying Fund in the Underlying Fund Memorandum. An
investor in the AlphaKeys Fund may suffer significant losses. Any losses by the AlphaKeys Fund will
be borne solely by the Members and not by the Member Designee, the Administrator or their
affiliates.

Confidential Offering ofLimited Partnership Interests - BREP Europe V
Confidential Offering of Limited Partnership Interests—BREP Europe V
This confidential private placement memorandum (as amended. restated or supplemented from time to
time, this "Memorandum") is furnished on a confidential basis to a limited number of sophisticated
investors for the purpose of providing certain information about an investment in exempted limited
partnership interests (the "Interests") in Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V if., a Cayman
Islands exempted limited partnership (the "Partnership" and together with its Parallel Funds (defined
herein), "BREP Europe V"). Capitalized terms used in this Memorandum will, unless expressly defined
herein, have the meanings given to such terms in Section II — "Summary Terms of the Partnership".
The Interests have not been recommended, approved or disapproved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") or by any other U.S. federal or state securities commission or regulatory
authority or any non-U.S. securities commission or regulatory authority. Furthermore, the foregoing
authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of this Memorandum. Any
representation to the contrary may be a criminal offense.
The Interests have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"), or the securities laws of any U.S. state or the securities laws of any other country or 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(aX2) of the 1933 Act and Regulation D promulgated
thereunder and/or other exemptions of similar import in the laws of the states and jurisdictions where the
offering will be made, and in compliance with any applicable U.S. state or other securities laws. The
Interests may not be sold or transferred (i) except as permitted under the Partnership's Amended and
Restated Agreement of Exempted Limited Partnership (as amended, restated or supplemented from time
to time, the "Partnership Agreement"), and (ii) unless they are registered under the 1933 Act and under
any other applicable securities laws, or an exemption from such registration thereunder is available. The
Interests may also be offered and sold outside of the U.S. under the exemption provided by Regulation S
under the 1933 Act. The Partnership will not be registered as an investment company under the U.S.
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). It is not expected that the Interests will
be registered under Section 12(g) or any other provision of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended and the rules promulgated thereunder (the - Exchange Act"). There is no public market for the
Interests, and no such market is expected to develop in the future. This is not an offer or invitation to the
public in the Cayman Islands to subscribe for Interests.
Potential investors should pay particular attention to the information in Section V: "Risk Factors and
Potential Conflicts of Interest" of this Memorandum. Investment in the Partnership 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 Partnership. Investors in the Partnership must be prepared to
bear such risks for an extended period of time. No assurance can be given that the Partnership's
investment objectives will be achieved or that investors will receive a return of their capital.
In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the Partnership and
the terms of the offering, including the merits and risks involved. Prospective investors should not
construe the contents of this Memorandum as legal, tax, investment or, accounting advice. Each
prospective investor is urged to consult with its own advisors with respect to the legal, tax, regulatory,
financial, and accounting consequences of an investment in the Partnership.
This Memorandum is not a prospectus and does not purport to contain all of the information an investor
may require to form an investment decision. It is not intended to be relied upon solely in relation to, and
must not be taken solely as the basis for, an investment decision.
This Memorandum contains a summary of the Partnership Agreement and certain other documents
referred to herein. However, the summaries set forth in this Memorandum do not purport to be complete
and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the Partnership Agreement and such other

documents, copies of which will be provided to any prospective investor upon request and which should
be reviewed for complete information concerning the rights, privileges, and obligations of investors in the
Partnership. In the event that the descriptions or terms in this Memorandum arc inconsistent with or
contrary to the descriptions in or terms of the Partnership Agreement or such other documents, the
Partnership Agreement and such other documents will control. Blackstone Real Estate Associates Europe
V M., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership and the general partner of the Partnership (the
"General Partner"), reserves the right to modify the terms of the offering and the Interests described in
this Memorandum. The Interests are offered subject to the General Partner's ability to reject any
prospective investor's commitment in whole or in part in its sole discretion.
During the course of the offering and prior to a purchase of Interests by a prospective investor, each
offeree of the Interests and its purchaser representative(s), if any, are invited to meet with representatives
of the Partnership and to discuss with, ask questions of, and receive answers from such representatives
concerning the terms and conditions of the offering, and to obtain any additional information, to the
extent that such representatives possess such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or
expense, necessary to verify the information contained in this Memorandum. Subject to the foregoing,
any representation or information not contained herein must not be relied upon as having been authorized
by Blackstone, the Partnership, the General Partner, any placement agent, or any of their respective
affiliates since no person has been authorized to make any such representations or to provide any such
information. The delivery of this Memorandum does not imply that the information contained herein is
correct as of any date subsequent to the date on the cover hereof or, if earlier, the date when such
information is referenced.

information) has been obtained from published and non-published sources and/or prepared by other
parties and in certain cases has not been updated through the date hereof. In addition, certain information
contained herein has been obtained from third parties, including companies in which investments have

Partnership, the General Partner, any placement agent, or any of their respective directors, officers,
employees, partners, members, shareholders, or their affiliates, or any other person assumes any
responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information.

trends, market conditions and the expertise or experience of Blackstone or the BREP Europe investment
team, are based on current expectations, estimates, projections, opinions, and/or beliefs of Blackstone.

other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Due to various risks and uncertainties, including, but
not limited to, those set forth in Section V: "Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest" of this
Memorandum, actual events or results or the actual performance of the Partnership may differ materially
from those reflected or contemplated in such forward-looking statements. None of the individual

and arc not intended to be, nor should they be construed or relied upon as, any indication of future
performance or other future activity. Any such awards, honors, or other references or rankings may have
been based on subjective criteria and may have been based on a limited universe of participants, and there
are other awards, honors, or other references or rankings given to others and not received by Blackstone
and/or any investment professional of Blackstone.
The performance information, selected examples, case studies and/or transaction summaries presented in
or referred to in this Memorandum arc presented solely for illustrative purposes and may not be
representative of all transactions of a given type or of investments generally and am intended to be
illustrative of the types of investments that may be made by the Partnership employing the investment
strategies detailed in Section I: "Overview of Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V". Prospective
investors should also note that the selected examples, case studies and/or transaction summaries presented
in or referred to in this Memorandum have not involved all of the Blackstone professionals who will be
involved with the management and operations of the Partnership. In addition, certain of the persons that
were involved in the investment program of Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe IV •., the
Partnership's predecessor fund (together with its parallel funds and related vehicles, "BREP Europe IV",
and collectively, with its predecessor funds and their respective parallel funds and related vehicles, the
"BREP Europe Funds") (including certain members of the investment committee thereof), will not be
actively involved in BREP Europe V or will function in different roles at Blackstone, which may impact
the Partnership's ability to achieve comparable returns. There can be no assurance that the Partnership
will achieve comparable results, that it will be able to implement its investment strategy, achieve its
investment objective or avoid substantial losses. See Section I: "Overview of Blackstone Real Estate
Partners Europe V" and the more detailed information in the Appendix for information on the overall
investment performance of the BREP program.
The performance information and other references to BREP Global Funds and BREP Asia presented in or
referred to in this Memorandum includes pre-Blackstone Real Estate Partners investments, Blackstone
Real Estate Partners ("BREP I"), Blackstone Real Estate Partners II ("BREP Blackstone
Real Estate Partners III ("BREP III"), Blackstone Real Estate Partners IV M. ("BREP IV"),
Blackstone Real Estate Partners V ("BREP V"), Blackstone Real Estate Partners VI M. ("BREP
VI"), Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII ("BREP VII") and Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII
("BREP VIII') (collectively, with their respective parallel fluids and related vehicles, the "BREP
Global Funds"), and Blackstone Real Estate Partners Asia M. (together with its parallel funds and
related vehicles, "BREP Asia" and together with the BREP Europe Funds and the BREP Global Funds, in
each case, together with any co-investments related thereto (as the context requires), the "BREP Funds").
In considering the performance information presented or referred to in this Memorandum, prospective
investors should note that the real estate investment activities in Europe that BREP Europe V is expected
to conduct and the European markets in which it will primarily invest differ significantly from both the
North American investments and markets on which much of the BREP Global Funds' investment
performance described herein is principally based and the Asian investment and markets on which all of
BREP Asia's investment performance as described herein is based. The BREP Global Funds and BREP
Asia have different day-to-day management personnel and the BREP Global Funds have aggregate capital
commitments that materially exceed the targeted size of BREP Europe V. Moreover, the actual
investments to be made by BREP Europe V differ from those investments presented or referenced herein.
The performance information provided herein for the BREP Funds is solely for background purposes and
should not be considered an indication of the future performance of BREP Europe V. References to co-
investment or co-invested capital herein refer to capital subscribed for by third parties (including limited
partners in addition to their commitments to the relevant BREP Fund) alongside certain of the BREP
Funds, as the context requires. The performance information for co-investments contained herein is
presented on an overall basis, representing the aggregate of discrete co-investment transactions alongside
such BREP Funds, and not with respect to a particular fund or managed investment portfolio. Such net
returns were calculated in a manner consistent with the calculation of the net returns for the BREP Funds

and may not reflect the actual returns of investors in each such co-investment. Past performance of co-
investments is not necessarily indicative of the results of any figure co-investment opportunities that may
be offered. Moreover, any information included in this Memorandum with respect to an investment by
any Blackstone-sponsored investment vehicle is provided solely in connection with the offering of
interests in BREP Europe V, does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any
securities of any other person or any other Blackstone-sponsored vehicle and investors should bear in
mind that although certain aspects of the investment programs of such other Blackstone-sponsored
vehicles and the Partnership may overlap in certain respects, such other Blackstone-sponsored vehicles
and the Partnership have different investment objectives and arc primarily managed on a day-to-day basis
by different teams of Blackstone investment professionals. The information provided herein regarding the
investment performance of such other Blackstone vehicles is therefore provided solely for background
purposes and should not be considered as an indication of future performance by the Partnership or relied
upon as an indication of future performance of the Partnership.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, and them can be no assurance that the
Partnership will achieve comparable results, that it will be able to effectively implement its investment
strategy, achieve its investment objective or avoid substantial losses. Unless otherwise indicated, all
compound annual internal rates of return ("IRRs") and multiples of invested capital ("MOICs") are
presented on a "gross" basis (i.e., before management fees, organizational expenses, partnership expenses,
the general partner's allocation of profit, taxes and other expenses borne by investors in the Partnership,
which in the aggregate are expected to be substantial, but after all other expenses). Net IRRs and Net
MOICs, which are calculated after management fees, organizational expenses, partnership expenses, taxes
and the general partner's allocation of profit (but before tax withholdings incurred by the limited partners
directly) will be materially lower. The gross and net IRRs for the Partnership may differ materially from
the returns indicated for the prior BREP Funds described herein. For a description of such types of fees
and expenses with respect to the Partnership, see Section II: "Summary Terms of the Partnership,"
Section V: -Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest—Partnership Expenses" and Form ADV Part
2A maintained by the Investment Advisor, a copy of which will be furnished to each investor prior to its
admission to the Partnership. Unrealized investments are valued in accordance with Blackstone's
valuation policies and guidelines (as described elsewhere in this Memorandum), which reflect a
combination of valuation methodologies and are based on proceeds received and/or the general partner's
assumptions regarding valuation and proceeds projected or expected to be received and involve a
significant degree of judgment. While the general partner's valuations are based on assumptions that the
general partner currently believes are reasonable under the circumstances, there is no guarantee that the
conditions on which such assumptions are based will materialize or otherwise be applicable to such
investments. Valuations of unrealized investments shown herein have been affected by changes in market
conditions and currency exchange rates, prevailing conditions in the real estate and credit markets, and
other macro-economic factors, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual realized
returns on unrealized investments will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value
of the assets, and market conditions at the time of disposition, legal and contractual restrictions, any
related transaction costs, and the timing and manner of sale, all of which may differ from the assumptions
and circumstances on which the valuations used in the prior performance data contained herein are based.
Accordingly, the actual realized returns on these unrealized investments may differ materially from the
mums indicated herein.
The performance information, selected examples and transaction summaries presented in this
Memorandum or otherwise available as referenced herein, as well as any information derived by you from
the information contained in this document, may not be representative of all transactions of a given type
or of investments generally and are intended to be illustrative of the types of investments that may be
made by the Partnership employing the investment strategies detailed in Section I: "Overview of

I. Overview of Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
Blackstone's Real Estate group was founded in 1991 and is one of the largest real estate investment
managers in the world, with $93 billion of investor capital under management. Blackstone is raising its
fifth European real estate opportunity fund, Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V M. ("BREP
Europe V" or the "Partnership"). BREP Europe V will be focused solely on European real estate.
For 24 years, over the course of strikingly different economic cycles, Blackstone Real Estate has
consistently generated solid results for its investors, materially outperforming industry benchmarks.'
Blackstone's BREP Funds'- have generated a net IRR of 17% since 1991 on over $56 billion of invested
capital?

Overview ofBlackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
Between 2008 and 2010 BREP's European team was patient and disciplined, investing only a limited
amount of capital. Beginning in 2011 Blackstone sharply increased its investment activity in Europe as
banks and distressed owners began to capitulate and aggressively market assets for sale.

Blackstone's longstanding presence in the European markets and access to sizable capital enabled it to
participate in recovering real estate values earlier than many of its competitors. For example Blackstone
began acquiring London office buildings in 2009 with its acquisition of a 50% interest in the Broadgate
Estate (16 trophy office buildings; 4.4 million square feet). Since then Blackstone acquired 25 London
office buildings comprising over six million square feet, and Blackstone is now one of the largest private
landlords of London office buildings.
Blackstone's current European fund, BREP Europe IV, began investing in late 2013. In only two years
BREP Europe IV invested/committed E5.3 billion of capital in over 61 separate transactions across
Europe.10 BREP Europe IV has now invested, committed or established reserves for the majority of its
available capital. We believe conditions in Europe remain favorable for opportunistic real estate
investment, characterized by:
• Lingering Distress
European banks still hold 0531 billion" of non-core commercial real estate loans that will need
to be resolved ahead of the implementation of increasingly restrictive banking regulations.
Open-end funds have approximately El 1 billion"' of real estate to sell prior to scheduled fund
liquidation dates. Overleveraged owners of real estate face loan maturities and in many cases are
unable or unwilling to invest additional equity into their properties.
• Diminished levels of competing opportunistic capital for large, complicated investments
BREP Europe IV (€6.5 billion) is the only large dedicated pan-European real estate fund actively
investing across all major real estate sectors, which Blackstone believes is over three times as
large as its nearest pan-European competitor. We believe scale, along with BREP's well-
established reputation for closing with speed and certainty, has enabled BREP Europe IV to
complete over 2/3 of its 2015 transactions on an off-market basis.
ER305378-MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001849
EFTA00237480
Overview ofBlackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
• Favorable supply and demand fundamentals for European real estate
New supply remains constrained in almost all real estate sectors. Capital for new development is
limited, especially for speculative projects. We believe minimal new supply, combined with
improving economic growth, should enable owners of real estate to benefit from declining
vacancies and, over time, higher rents.
• Modestly Improving Economy
The Eurozone economy has begun to recover slowly, supported by quantitative easing by the
European Central Bank, lower energy prices, and a weaker euro. These conditions have led to
modest, albeit uneven, GDP growth and job creation across the region.
We believe Blackstone is distinctly qualified to continue to take advantage of the favorable investment
environment:
• Established and Seasoned Team in Europe
BREP has invested in Europe for 19 years and Blackstone opened its London office in 2000.
Blackstone Real Estate's Europe team has grown to 84 professionals representing 20
nationalities. We believe the international diversity of the team and its extensive relationships
within specific countries and regions provide a competitive edge in sourcing and executing
transactions. We believe that the team's comprehensive knowledge of each country•'s language,
legal and regulatory framework, protocol, culture, business approach and local relationships
would be extraordinarily difficult for newer or smaller fund managers to replicate.
• Proven reputation to execute large, complicated transactions with speed and certainty
The size of the BREP Funds continues to be a key advantage, allowing Blackstone to identify and
execute large, complicated transactions with speed and certainty, often on an off-market basis.
Blackstone can rapidly dedicate large and experienced teams of professionals to underwrite,
conduct detailed due diligence, and negotiate comprehensive agreements to acquire sizable
portfolios under extremely tight timeframes.
• Platforms
Blackstone's operating platforms around the world provide invaluable real-time proprietary data
regarding market and property conditions and trends. This data informs our acquisition and asset
management strategies and decisions. The platforms' large teams of real estate professionals also
provide assistance in the day-to-day management of many of Blackstone's Europe investments as
well as support BREP in its acquisition activity. BREP Europe's sector-specific operating
platforms have expanded in number, size, and focus over the past three years, and now include
entities dedicated to logistics, retail, office. multifamily, and REO / loan servicing.
• Unparalleled relationships within the industry
Blackstone's longstanding tenure in the region and around the world has reinforced extensive
connections to major financial institutions, brokers, and sellers, leading to new investment
opportunities.
The scale of Blackstone's capital commitments and team, combined with its execution reputation and the
market conditions described above have enabled the BREP Funds to participate in compelling investment
opportunities that we believe would be difficult to replicate. For example:13
• GE Capital Real Estate Portfolio - $23 billion enterprise value
The GE Portfolio was a $23 billion global debt and equity portfolio that represented
substantially all of GE Capital's global real estate holdings. In March 2015 GE made a
strategic decision to exit its real estate business. GE intended to announce a sale in connection
with its first quarter earnings release in April 2015, and identified Blackstone Real Estate as
ER305378-MAXWELL

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001850
EFTA00237481
Overview ofBlackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
the only potential buyer that could underwrite and commit to acquire the portfolio within this
accelerated timeframe.
Blackstone brought in a partner for $9 billion of GE's loan book, and acquired the remaining
$14 billion of assets through four Blackstone real estate vehicles, including BREP Europe IV.
The size of Blackstone Real Estate's global team and its familiarity with the assets and
markets enabled it to underwrite GE's highly complex portfolio (612 assets: 14 countries) in
less than a month. BREP Europe IV and BREP VIII acquired substantially all of the European
assets in the GE portfolio. which consisted of 222 assets located in eight countries. BREP
Europe IV and BREP VIII acquired the portfolio for E1.8 billion, which represented a 28%
discount to estimated replacement cost.
• Hercules Debt Portfolio - 63.6 billion enterprise value
The Hercules investment is a E6.4 billion face value sub- and non-performing residential
mortgage loan portfolio in Spain that Blackstone acquired for E3.6 billion. The portfolio was
secured by 37,229 principally occupied residential units, most of which are in densely-
populated and in-fill locations in and around Barcelona.
Blackstone acquired the portfolio from CatalunyaCaixa, a nationalized Spanish savings bank
under pressure to clean up its balance sheet in advance of its sale back into the private market.
Blackstone's purchase price equated to a 38% discount to face, a 59% discount to the
properties' original appraised values of E8.9 billion and a 31% discount to spot value.
Blackstone's basis of E902 per square meter ($89 per square foot) is equivalent to where
Spanish home prices were in 2003.
• European Logistics Portfolio - ES.I billion enterprise value
Blackstone assembled a 116 million square foot industrial portfolio in the U.S. between 2010
and 2014. The U.S. acquisitions were possible due to historically distressed pricing following
the financial crisis in 2008/2009. Blackstone identified similar anomalies between existing
and historical prices for logistics properties in Europe and in early 2012 began acquiring
logistics assets in the UK, France and Poland. Blackstone now has invested or committed E2.8
billion of equity in 47 transactions to assemble a 133 million square foot portfolio, making it
the largest owner of logistics assets in Europe. The properties are located across 18 countries,
with 61% of the portfolio concentrated in the UK, Germany, and France. Blackstone's total
consideration of E8.2 billion represents an average going-in yield of 7.3% versus public
comparables that currently arc trading at an implied yield of 5.2%.
Blackstone established an operating platform, Logicor, to assist in the management of the
portfolio. The Logicor management team provides extensive proprietary market expertise and
critical support to BREP's acquisition and asset management functions. Blackstone believes
the economies of scale provided by the portfolio and the Logicor management platform have
resulted in more favorable financing and streamlined operations.

Blackstone Real Estate Approach
The BREP Funds have generated an aggregate 17% net IRR for their limited partners over the past 24
years, with only 1% realized losses to date (including realized and unrealized invesiments).14 Blackstone
believes the BREP Funds' strong returns and their outperformance relative to competitors can be
attributed to its approach to managing its business, which includes:
• A systematic and disciplined approach to acquiring and managing its real estate portfolio.
Blackstone Real Estate has one centralized investment committee that meets weekly to carefully
review and challenge investments and dispositions around the world. The committee discussions
arc led by Jonathan Gray, Global Hcad of Real Estate and Ken Caplan, Chief Investment Officer.
The committee includes all other Senior Managing Directors in the Real Estate group, as well as
senior executives of Blackstone, including Stephen Schwarzman, Chairman and CEO, and
Hamilton James, President and COO. Blackstone manages its investments through proactive day-
to-day asset management, as well as regular global asset reviews and quarterly valuation
meetings.
• A straightforward investment strategy —"buy it, fix it, sell it" — to acquire high quality, well
located assets at discounts to replacement cost, address any property or business issues through
proactive asset management, and sell the assets once BREP's objectives are accomplished.
• The broad experience of its senior management. The Blackstone Real Estate Group is
dominated by professionals who have been with the firm for many years and those who bring
their special talents and experience from other areas of the industry. Anthony Myers, Head of
Real Estate Europe, has been with Blackstone for 15 years and prior to that worked for a real
estate company that Blackstone acquired. Farhad Karim, Chief Operating Officer of Europe, has
worked closely with Blackstone Real Estate since 1998. Andrew Lax, Head of Asset
Management Europe, has been with Blackstone since 2002. Following the global financial crisis
we had the opportunity to expand our team with talented professionals from competing firms that
were downsizing or closing. James Scppala joined in 2008 and is now Head of Europe
Acquisitions.
• A deeply integrated global business that relies on constant communication, frequent asset and
strategy reviews with the entire global team, and relocations of professionals among its offices in
order to effectively instill BREP's process and culture worldwide.
• The scale of its real estate team and proprietary operating platforms. With over $180 billion
in gross real estate assets under management, the breadth of Blackstone Real Estate's holdings
provide valuable real-time proprietary market data. This proprietary data enables it to target
specific themes with conviction and deploy significant amounts of discretionary capital. Its
operating platforms enable BREP to underwrite investment opportunities and create value post-
acquisition.
• Unparalleled relationships within the industry, and access to significant equity and debt
capital, allowing Blackstone to identify and execute large complicated transactions with speed
and certainty, at attractive pricing metrics. The size of the BREP Funds continues to be a key
competitive advantage.
• Disciplined Approach to Financing: Blackstone Real Estate has had a long-standing policy of
financing with flexible non-recourse debt with limited covenants. This practice enabled BREP to
maintain control of its assets through the downturn and participate in valuation recovery.

BREP Europe V Team and Platform
The Blackstone Europe real estate team consists of 84 dedicated investment and asset management
professionals based in London and Madrid. The Europe team represents 20 different nationalities,
including the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands.
Blackstone believes the diversity of the team's backgrounds and local expertise within each country is a
powerful advantage relative to competing opportunistic funds in Europe. We believe our team's
comprehensive knowledge of languages. legal and regulatory frameworks, protocols, cultures, business
approaches and local relationships in countries across Europe provides a distinct competitive edge in
sourcing and executing transactions.
The team is led by four senior executives who have worked in the real estate industry throughout their
careers:
• Anthony Myers is the Head of Real Estate Europe and is a member of the Real Estate Executive
Committee. Mr. Myers has been with Blackstone since 2000, and led a variety of real estate
acquisitions and initiatives across Europe and the United States.

since 2011 and worked closely with Blackstone Real Estate since 1998 as an attorney at Simpson
Thacher & Bartlett. Mr. Karim has overseen many real estate investments in Europe, Asia, and
the Americas, and plays a critical role in negotiating acquisitions and shepherding them to
completion.
• Andrew Lax is the Head of Asset Management Europe. Mr. Lax has been with Blackstone
since 2002 and has worked on investments in both the U.S. and Europe.
• James Seppala is the Head of Europe Acquisitions. Mr. Seppala has been with Blackstone since

The real estate operating environment remains stable, with limited new supply in almost all sectors
providing a powerful counterbalance to modest demand. Blackstone believes that this trend is likely to
persist as limited capital is available to fund new development, especially speculative construction. The
low levels of new supply likely should result in stable or improving occupancies, even if macroeconomic
fundamentals do not generate significant demand growth.

Overview ofBlackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
BREP Europe V Themes
BREP Europe V will be focused on European real estate. Blackstone expects the Partnership to continue
several of the investment themes initiated by BREP Europe III and BREP Europe IV, and to further
expand its scope in areas such as Southern Europe and Scandinavia. BREP Europe V will continue to
target large, complicated situations where competition is limited and the ability to move quickly is an
advantage.
BREP Europe V will seek to capitalize on the lingering financial distress. The Partnership will also seek
to acquire distressed and/or undermanaged properties at attractive pricing. Investment themes may
include:
• Large, Complex Transactions. Blackstone expects to utilize its deep expertise and scale in
navigating highly complex transactions. We believe the talent, breadth and experience ofits team
of 387 professionals worldwide, as well as its proprietary access to information through its own
portfolios, enables Blackstone to confidently underwrite and evaluate opportunities that other
investors cannot. Blackstone believes it has earned a reputation in the market as the preferred
buyer because it can transact quickly, with certainty, and in scale.
o Oblige Portfolio. Blackstone is under contract to acquire a portfolio of assets out of ten
individual funds managed by Obligo, a Norwegian fund manager, for 62.3 billion. The
portfolio is comprised of 58 high quality assets/sub-portfolios in nine countries (including the
U.S.) with a geographic concentration in Norway, Sweden, and Germany. The Obligo funds
were approaching their maturities, and the seller was seeking a holistic solution and execution
certainty. BREP deployed its large acquisition team to quickly underwrite the disparate,
multi-jurisdictional portfolio and was able to commit to a transaction within three weeks.
BREP's underwriting was supported by its Logicor, Multi, Equity Office Properties and
hospitality platforms. As a result Blackstone was able to acquire the portfolio at pricing that
equated to a 6.7% in-place NOI yield and a 40% discount to estimated replacement cost. The
relationship with Obligo already has resulted in new contacts and relationships in the Nordic
region, which we believe could result in further investment opportunities in these countries.15
• Assemble Sector-specific Portfolios. With over $180 billion in gross real estate assets under
management around the world, the breadth of Blackstone Real Estate's platforms provides
valuable real-time proprietary market data, which we believe enables Blackstone to identify
mispriced sectors and/or out of favor asset classes and trends more rapidly than its competitors.
Blackstone expects to be able to capitalize on opportunities to assemble large sector-specific
portfolios through a series of smaller acquisitions. The economics of scale provided by the larger
portfolios are expected to generate synergies, such as more favorable financing and more efficient
leasing and operating programs, and will broaden the range of available exit strategies.
o Multi. BREP acquired Multi Corporation through a series of distressed debt acquisitions in
2012 and 2013 that ultimately led to taking control of the company. At the time Multi owned
a 7.6 million square foot portfolio of prime shopping malls and development sites across
Europe. Since acquiring Multi, BREP has acquired additional retail assets comprising 20
million square feet. BREP has expanded the retail platform to 120 assets including malls,
outlet centers, grocery anchored shopping centers, and high street retail located across 13
countries. In aggregate the retail portfolio was acquired at a 7.3% NOI yield, over 200 basis
points higher than comparable publicly traded retail companies. The portfolio is expected to
benefit from improving demand for retail as the European economy recovers and improved
operations under BREP's management.

• Dispositions by Liquidating Funds/Motivated Sellers. Open-ended real estate funds in Europe
have liquidated approximately 610.8 billion of their holdings since 2013, but still have
approximately Ell billion of commercial real estate on their books. We believe closed-ended real
estate funds approaching liquidation deadlines and other distressed fund managers arc also
seeking buyers that can offer scale, execution speed and certainty.
o Max Property Group. In August 2014 BREP purchased Max Property Group, a publicly listed,
closed-ended UK real estate fund approaching liquidation. BREP acquired the company for
£735 million, which equated to £96 per square foot, an 8% stabilized MTM NOI yield and a
27% discount to estimated replacement cost. BREP's strong long-term relationship with the
company provided it with a preferred position. BREP acquired a high-quality portfolio of
assets at what lye believe was effectively wholesale pricing, with a potential opportunity to
capture the intrinsic value of the properties over time. The majority of the portfolio's value was
concentrated in London office properties and a well-located light-industrial portfolio in the UK.
• Transitional Assets: Pan-European City Center Office. Blackstone continues to see
opportunities to buy well-located, high quality office buildings in London and other major
European cities at deep discounts to estimated replacement cost. Since 2009 Blackstone acquired
25 London office buildings comprising over six million square feet, and Blackstone is now one of
the largest private landlords of London office buildings. Sellers include banks and other lenders,
distressed owners, and liquidating funds. The office buildings frequently have low occupancies or
face substantial near-term vacancies, rendering them challenging for core buyers. BREP's ability
to acquire the office buildings at substantial discounts to estimated replacement cost and/or
comparable sales enables it to dedicate capital to renovating, repositioning and re-leasing the
asset. The relatively lower bases in the buildings also provide Blackstone greater flexibility to
negotiate rents that generally are well below rents of competing properties. Once the buildings
are renovated and stabilized Blackstone expects to sell to what it believes to be an increasingly
liquid market of cone buyers.
o Casa. Collis& consists of two Class A office buildings comprising 24,400 square meters
located in Paris. Blackstone acquired Cons& in July 2013 through a foreclosure sale. At
acquisition one of the buildings was 82% occupied through 2019 and the other was
completely vacant. The 695 million purchase price equated to a 30% discount to sales
comparables in 2013 and a 9% stabilized NOI yield. Following acquisition Blackstone
extended leases with the existing tenants and leased the vacant space to high-credit tenants
including Wolters Kluwer, Sage, and Samsung. In May 2015 Blackstone sold the stabilized
buildings for C167 million, which equated to a 5.25% forward cap rate. The sale resulted in a
2.2x gross MOIC and 48% gross ERR for this investment."
• Southern Europe Distress. The economies of Spain. Italy and Portugal only recently began to
recover from the global financial and sovereign debt crises. Since 2013 BREP Europe IV has
acquired residential, office, retail, and logistics properties from motivated sellers and banks in
Spain, Italy, and Portugal. Blackstone believes Spanish and Italian banks in particular have
sizable non-core real estate loans on their balance sheets that they are beginning to address.
o Spanish Residential. In late 2013 Blackstone began buying residential properties in Spain
and currently owns or controls a portfolio of 38 multifamily properties comprising 5,265
units, concentrated principally in Madrid and Barcelona. New housing supply in these
markets is down 96% since 2006, and home prices have declined on average 35% between
2006-2013 before increasing 4% over the past year.16 Blackstone acquired the properties in a
series of transactions from government entities, banks, and distressed sellers. We believe that
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There can be no assurance that any BREP fund
will be able to implement its investment strategy, achieve its objective. or avoid substantial losses.

Overview ofBlackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
Blaekstone's established reputation of providing speed and certainty of execution
distinguished it from its competitors. In addition Blackstone is recognized locally as a
"socially sensitive" manager as a result of its behavior during and subsequent to its
acquisitions. The majority of the acquisitions were completed by our Spanish professionals
who were able to leverage strong relationships in the local financial community to transact
quickly.
• Purchase Distressed Debt. The European banking system is recovering slowly on an uneven,
country by country basis. Banks continue to hold 0531 billion of non-core real estate loans that
they will need to sell ahead of the implementation of Basel III and other regulations. We believe
the largest remaining loan exposure is in the UK, Spain, and Ireland. Blackstone expects BREP
Europe V to invest in debt positions that will enable it to ultimately take control of the underlying
assets or collateral and realize additional value through strategic restructuring and/or asset
management opportunities.
o O'Flynn Portfolio. The O'Flynn portfolio was a E1.8 billion face value loan portfolio that
BREP acquired for E1.1 billion, which represented a 40% discount to face value. The
portfolio was collateralized by assets in the UK, Germany, and Ireland, and was sold by
NAMA, the Irish government's "bad bank". Blackstone was able to secure the portfolio by
offering the execution speed and certainty that NAMA required given the complexity of the
transaction. BREP's implied basis in the underlying collateral represented a 27% discount to
estimated replacement cost and a 7.3% stabilized mark-to-market NOI yield on the income-
producing asset base.

Endnotes
The benchmark data referred to herein with respect to the investment performance of the BREP Funds is based
on the NCREIF-ODCE (NCREIF Fund Index - Open-End Diversified Core Equity) index. The NCREIF-ODCE
index is a fund-level capitalization-weighted, time-weighted return index that consists of 33 open-ended
commingled funds pursuing a core investment strategy, some of which have performance histories dating back to
the 1970s. The average index leverage is approximately 30% and includes property investments at ownership
share, cash balances and leverage. NCREIF returns used for purposes of such benchmark comparison are as of
September 30. 2015 and have been calculated as the annual rate of return of the total contributions and
dispositions (including fees, drawdown of expenses, return of capital, and recouped losses), and the
corresponding annual rate of return of the NCREIF-ODCE from each contribution date to each disposition or
return of capital date, or the quarter end for unrealized investments. Comparison to the NCREIF-ODCE is for
informational purposes only and should not be relied upon for any purpose, and is provided solely as an
indication of returns that could be earned by investors by making similar investments in the basket of "core" real
estate investment funds that comprise the NCREIF-ODCE. Blackstone's funds, including all of the BREP
Funds, differ from the NCREIF-ODCE in material respects, including in that, among other factors: (i) the BREP
Funds employ a different investment strategy (e.g,. "opportunistic" real estate investments and, in the case of the
BREP Europe Funds, real estate investments in Europe) than the investment funds comprising the NCREIF-
ODCE (e.g.. "core" real estate investments). (ii) the volatility of the index may be materially different from that
of the I3REP Funds; (iii) the index employ different investment guidelines than the BREP Funds and accordingly
holdings in the index will vary materially from the investments made by the BREP Funds; and (iv) the BREP
Funds are actively managed entities that bear fees and use leverage. The results of the BREP Funds and the
NCREIF-ODCE over a different time period could differ from the information presented. The performance of the
NCREIF-ODCE may not necessarily have been selected to represent an appropriate benchmark or index to
compare to the BREP Funds, but rather is chosen to allow for comparison of the BREP Funds' performance to
that of a well-known index in the core space. Further information relating to the methodologies and other related
information referred to is available upon request.

BREP Global Funds and BRED Asia have different day-to-day management personnel and the BREP Global
Funds have aggregate capital commitments that materially exceed the targeted size of BREP Europe V.
Moreover, the actual investments to be made by BREP Europe V differ from those investments presented or
referenced herein. The performance information provided herein for the BREP Funds is solely for background
purposes and should not be considered an indication of the future perfonnance of BREP Europe V.

expenses, and the general partner's allocation of profit but before taxes or withholdings incurred by limited
partners directly or indirectly tluough withholdings by the applicable BREP Fund. The net IRRs are calculated
based on the date capital is drawn from the limited partners until the date the proceeds from sale or current
income is distributed to limited partners. or through September 30. 2015. for unrealized investments.
7 The September 30, 2015 net IRR for BREP VIII, which commenced its investment activities in April 2015, is not

(including limited partners in addition to their commitments to the relevant BREP Fund) alongside certain of the
BREP Funds, as the context requires. The performance information for co-investments contained herein is
presented on an overall basis, representing the aggregate of discrete co-investment transactions alongside such
BREP Funds, and not with respect to a particular fund or managed investment portfolio. Such net returns were

("Investments"). Investments may include companies that are engaged in
businesses which in significant part, as determined by the General Partner, in
its sole discretion, arc engaged in the ownership or operation of, or the
provision of services relating to, real estate-related companies or assets. The
Partnership may acquire Investments on a leveraged basis, hold and operate
the Investments and sell or otherwise realize on the Investments with the
objective of achieving investment returns above those traditionally available
from real estate and real estate-related investments.
Investment Limitations: Diversification. Not more than 20% of the aggregate amount of Capital
Commitments may be invested in any one Investment at any time, except that
up to 37.5% of Capital Commitments may be invested only in one Investment
at any given time under circumstances where the General Partner believes in

more than 20% thereof within 180 days from the date of the initial investment
therein; provided, that the foregoing limitations will not apply to an
Investment comprising assets located in five or more different geographic sub-
markets so long as the Capital Commitments invested in any individual asset
do not exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Capital Commitments.
Geographic Limitation. Investments will be made in Europe. Investments
outside of Europe may be made only if the non-European component of such
Investment comprises a minority of the overall Investment. Not more than
30% of the aggregate Capital Commitments may be invested by the
Partnership at any time in Investments in (A) real estate assets (or pools

EFTA00237498
Summary Terms ofthe Partnership
may utilize derivative instruments to replicate the risks and benefits of holding
an asset that would otherwise qualify as a permitted Investment(s)).
Capital Commitments; A Limited Partner may elect to make its Capital Commitment in U.S. dollars
Additional Closings: (a -Dollar Partner") or Euros (a "Euro Partner"); however, (i) for purposes of
determining the amount to be contributed by a Dollar Partner, the General
Partner will generally convert U.S. dollars into the relevant currency of a
proposed Investment and (ii) all calculations under the Partnership Agreement,
including calculations of Management Fees and Carried Interest, will be done
in Euros irrespective of whether a Limited Partner is a Dollar Partner.
Each investor admitted as a limited partner in the Partnership (a "Limited
Partner") will be required to make a minimum Capital Commitment of €9
million in the case of a Euro Partner (and $10 million in the case of a Dollar
Partner), subject to the right of the General Partner, in its sole discretion, to
accept lesser Capital Commitments.
The General Partner will have the discretion to admit additional Limited
Partners and/or permit any existing Limited Partner to increase its Capital
Commitment following the Initial Closing Date. Each Limited Partner that is
admitted and/or increases its Capital Commitment within six months
Mowing the Effective Date (the "Last Equalization Date") will participate in
unrealized Investments and bear its share of Partnership Expenses and
Organizational Expenses (each defined below) incurred through that date. In
connection with its admission, such Limited Partner will make a Capital
Contribution (defined below) equal to its pro rata share of (i) Capital
Contributions previously made for unrealized Investments and (ii) Capital
Contributions or direct payments previously made for Organizational
Expenses and Partnership Expenses, in each case as though such Limited
Partner and all other Limited Partners were admitted on the Effective Date
(excluding any previously realized Investments). Each such Limited Partner
will also pay an additional amount on the amounts described in the previous
sentence at a rate of 10% per annum, which will be allocated among the
existing Limited Partners. Any Limited Partner that is admitted or increases
its Capital Commitment after the Last Equalization Date will not participate in
any existing Investment (or any "follow-on" Investment therein) for which
Capital Contributions were drawn prior to such Limited Partner's admission or
increase, but will bear its share of Partnership Expenses (including those
expenses related to such existing Investment (or any "follow-on" Investment
therein) for which Capital Contributions were not drawn prior to such Limited
Partner's admission or increase) and Organizational Expenses (including
additional amounts thereon as described above) incurred prior to that date,
(which will be allocated among the existing Limited Partners), plus the
additional Organizational Expenses incurred in connection with its admission.
Such amounts allocated among the existing Limited Partners (excluding the
additional amounts and amounts for Organizational Expenses) will increase
unused Capital Commitments of such Limited Partners and will
correspondingly reduce the amount of Capital Contributions such existing
Limited Partners arc deemed to have made.
Investment Advisor: Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, the investment advisor to the
Partnership will be Blackstone Real Estate Advisors M., a Delaware limited

Investment Advisor may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities to
one or more affiliates. In any event, however, the General Partner will remain
responsible for the management and control of the Partnership's affairs.
Investment Period: The investment period for which drawdown notices to fund new Investments
may be given swill expire five years from the Last Equalization Date (the
"Investment Period") unless terminated earlier by the General Partner in its

have been drawn down, committed or reserved, (ii) the General Partner deems
it impracticable to continue to seek out Investments, or (iii) upon the vote of
the Limited Partners following a Key Person Event as set forth under "—Key
Person Rights" below.
After the end of the Investment Period, the General Partner may continue to
issue drawdown notices with respect to unused Capital Commitments to
(a) pay Partnership Expenses and Management Fees (b) make "follow-on"
Investments, and (c) repay borrowings or satisfy guarantees or other
obligations of the Partnership (whether incurred before or after the end of the
Investment Period); provided, that the amount so drawn down for "follow-on"
Investments made after the end of the Investment Period will not exceed the
lesser of (i) 10% of Capital Commitments (in the aggregate), excluding
amounts committed or reserved for specific Investments as of the end of the
Investment Period (with notice thereof to the Limited Partners), and
(ii) unused Capital Commitments; provided, that to the extent the General
Partner determines any such amounts committed to or reserved for specific
Investments prior to the end of the Investment Period are not or will not be
used as so specified, the General Partner may reallocate such amounts for use
with respect to "follow-on" Investments without being included in such 10%
limitation.
Right to During the Investment Period, the amount of Capital Contributions applied to
Re-Draw Capital an Investment or Partnership Expenses with respect thereto that has been
Contributions; disposed of may be recalled by the General Partner at its option as long as the
Recycling: Limited Partner has not realized a loss on the disposition of such Investment
(including Allocated Fees and Expenses (defined below)). Any distributable
amounts may also be retained by the Partnership (and will reduce unused
Capital Commitments to the extent not recallable) in lieu of a corresponding
amount being drawn down, or used on the Limited Partner's behalf to pay
such Limited Partner's share of Management Fees, Partnership Expenses,
Organizational Expenses, Servicing Fees (if applicable) and placement fees
otherwise then due from such Limited Partner.
Term: The term of the Partnership will end on the sixth anniversary of the last day of
the Investment Period, with an option on the part of the General Partner to
extend the term of the Partnership for up to two additional one-year periods, if
the Advisory Committee (as defined below) does not object to such
extension within 30 days' notice thereof.
Termination: The Partnership will be wound up and subsequently dissolve prior to the
expiration of its term as more fully described in the Partnership Agreement,
including (i) after the termination of the Investment Period following the

time of such "event of withdrawal" there is at least one remaining General
Partner that carries on the business of the Partnership), (iii) upon the vote of at
least 75% in interest of the Limited Partners and the limited partners of the
Parallel Funds (collectively, the "Combined Limited Partners"), or (iv) upon
the determination that "cause" has occurred (and the lapse of any cure period
with respect to such event of cause) by a vote of 66 2/3% in interest of the
Combined Limited Partners.
Drawdowns of Capital The General Partner will give at least ten business days' written notice prior to
Commitments: any drawdown of unused Capital Commitments (each such drawing, a
"Capital Contribution"). Funds will be taken down as needed pro rata based
generally on unused Capital Commitments, to make Investments (including to
pay fees and expenses payable by the Partnership associated therewith), to pay
Partnership Expenses, Organizational Expenses and Management Fees and to
make additional Capital Contributions to existing Investments, to repay
borrowings, or to satisfy guarantees or other obligations of the Partnership.
No Capital Contributions or payments in respect of the Management Fee will
be required to be made prior to the Effective Date. Capital contributions or
payments made directly by the Limited Partners for the Management Fee and
Organizational Expenses (see "—Management Fee; Other Fees" and "—
Expenses" below) arc in addition to their Capital Commitments.
Blackstone In addition to the Blackstone Capital Commitment described above,
Side-by-Side Investment Blackstone (which is expected to include Blackstone professionals and
Rights: employees and may include participation by Other Blackstone Funds (defined
below) or entities and other key advisors/relationships of Blackstone) will be
permitted to invest in Investments an amount equal to a certain specified
percentage (the "Blackstone Co-Investment Percentage"), not to exceed 10%
of the amount otherwise available to the Partnership for investment on an
annual basis. An such side-by-side investment will generally be made on the
same basis and terms as the Partnership's investment therein (except that it
will not bear Management Fees or be subject to Carried Interest Distributions).
The Blackstone Co-Investment Percentage will be determined by the General
Partner with written notice to the Limited Partners prior to (or, solely in the
case of the initial period, promptly following) February l m of each year with
respect to the twelve-month period beginning with that date; provided, that if
the Partnership invests more than a ratable portion (based on the length of the
Investment Period) of the Capital Commitments in any such twelve-month
period, then the General Partner may elect to reduce the Blackstone Co-
Investment Percentage with respect to all additional Investments made during
the balance of such 12-month period.
Joint Ventures: Blackstone may enter into one or more joint ventures with strategic partners
that have significant expertise in a particular segment of the real estate
industry ("Joint Venture Partners"). Investments made with Joint Venture
Partners may involve carried interests and/or other fees payable to such Joint
Venture Partners (as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion).
Opt-Out Rights; A Limited Partner may "opt-out" of a proposed Investment if within seven
business days of notification of the identity thereof it delivers an opinion of

Summary Terms ofthe Partnership
Exclusion: counsel that demonstrates, in the reasonable opinion of the General Partner,
that them is a reasonable likelihood that such Limited Partner's participation
in such Investment would violate any law, regulation, license, permit or other
similar approval to which it or any of its affiliates is or may be subject (which
includes, among other things, a violation of any investment policy or
organizational document of a Limited Partner identified and accepted prior to
the Limited Partner's admission date). The General Partner may exclude a
Limited Partner from all or part of a proposed Investment if the General
Partner concludes that the participation of such Limited Partner would (i)
based on an opinion of counsel, result in the consequences stated in the
previous sentence, (ii) result in a significant delay, extraordinary expense or
material adverse effect with respect to such Investment or the Partnership, or
(iii) cause a serious risk of jeopardizing such Investment. In any of the
circumstances described in the previous two sentences, each other Limited
Partner may be requested to make an additional Capital Contribution in
respect of such Investment, subject to certain limitations.
Management Fee; Other As compensation for services rendered to the Partnership, the Investment
Fees: Advisor will be entitled to receive from the Partnership an annual management
fee with respect to each Limited Partner (the - Management Fee"), calculated
and paid quarterly in arrears. During the Investment Period, the Management
Fee with respect to a Limited Partner will equal the Applicable Management
Fee Percentage of such Limited Partner's Capital Commitment. After the
earlier of (i) the end of the Investment Period and (ii) the time management
fees in connection with a successor fund have begun to accrue, the
Management Fee with respect to a Limited Partner will equal the Applicable
Management Fee Percentage multiplied by such Limited Partner's Capital
Contributions with respect to Investments that have not been disposed of. The
"Applicable Management Fee Percentage" with respect to a Limited Partner
(together with its affiliates) means (i) 1.50% per annum if such Limited
Partner has aggregate Capital Commitments and capital commitments to
Parallel Funds ("Parallel Fund Capital Commitments") of less than 0280
million, in the case of a Euro Partner, and $300 million in the case of a Dollar
Partner and (ii) 1.25% per annum if such Limited Partner has aggregate
Capital Commitments and Parallel Fund Capital Commitments equal to or
greater than €280 million, in the case of a Euro Partner, and $300 million in
the case of a Dollar Partner; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the
"Applicable Management Fee Percentage" with respect to a Limited Partner
that itself is an investment vehicle formed for the purpose of aggregating
unaffiliated investors for purposes of investing in the Partnership (a "Feeder
Vehicle Limited Partner") means 1.50% per annum irrespective of its Capital
Commitments; provided, further, that the Capital Commitments and Parallel
Fund Capital Commitments of the Limited Partners and limited partners of the
Parallel Funds that are affiliates solely as a result of having a common
investment manager shall be aggregated for all such clients of such common
investment manager for purposes of the foregoing calculations solely if such
affiliation is acknowledged by the General Partner upon such Limited Partners
admission to the Partnership and if such investment manager has sole
discretionary investment authority pursuant to a binding agreement that was
utilized in making and responsible for such Capital Commitment and/or
Parallel Fund Capital Commitment. No Management Fee shall be charged for

the four (4) month period following the Effective Date for any Limited Partner
that participates in the Initial Closing.
After the Investment Period, binding commitments to make Investments will
be deemed amounts invested for purposes of calculating the Management Fee;
provided, that to the extent Capital Contributions are never made with respect
to such commitments, the Management Fees relating to such amounts will be
refunded by the Investment Advisor.
Blackstone may be entitled to receive an acquisition fee borne by the
Partnership. Fees received by Blackstone relating to an Investment but not
borne directly or indirectly by the Partnership shall not be deemed to be such
an acquisition fee. Blackstone may also receive fees for Property
Management Services (defined below) and fees for advisory services
(including investment banking) services ("Company Advisory Services")
provided to companies in which the Partnership has an interest. Additionally,
if Blackstone performs additional services for the Partnership or any entity
owned by the Partnership (directly or indirectly), it may receive additional
fees at market rates for such services, subject to the approval (or deemed
approval) of the Advisory Committee ("Additional Fees"). The
Management Fee with respect to each Limited Partner will be reduced by an
amount equal to the sum of (i) 80% of such Limited Partner's pro rata share of
any such Additional Fees and (ii) 100% of such Limited Partner's pro rata
sham of acquisition fees; provided, that such fees will be allocated among
BREP Europe V, Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII M. and its parallel,
predecessor and successor funds and their respective alternative investment
vehicles (collectively, "BREP VIII" or the "BREP Co-Investors"). Blackstone
Real Estate Partners Europe IV and its parallel funds (collectively, "Fund
IV") and its predecessor funds and their respective alternative investment
vehicles. Blackstone Real Estate Partners Asia M. and its alternative
investment vehicles (collectively with BREP VIII, the "BREP Funds"). and
vehicles participating with respect to the Blackstone Co-Investment
Percentage described above or additional general partner investments relating
thereto, any newly created investment vehicle relating to investments in
persons in which the Partnership invests (or a specified group of such
investments) and formed for the purpose of making such investment(s) (each,
a "Supplemental Capital Vehicle") and, to the extent applicable. the
investment funds, managed accounts and/or other similar arrangements
otherwise advised, managed or operated by Blackstone (and including such
future investment funds, managed accounts and/or other similar arrangements)
and any successors thereto (collectively "Other Blackstone Funds") (or
Similar Funds) (defined below) on a pro rata basis in applying the foregoing;
provided further, that no such fees will be allocated to an interest in the
Partnership held by the General Partner or an affiliate of the General Partner.
As a result, it is intended that Limited Partners do not directly or indirectly
bear on a net basis any portion of the payment of such acquisition fees.
The Partnership may retain third parties for necessary services relating to the
Investments, including any management, construction, leasing. development,
and other property management services, as well as services related to
mortgage servicing, group purchasing, healthcare, consulting/brokerage,
capital markets/credit origination, loan servicing, property, title and/or other
types of insurance, management consulting and other similar operational

matters ("Property Management Services") and Company Advisory Services.
Such third parties may also include Joint Venture Partners or their affiliates.
Affiliates of the Investment Advisor may also provide such Property
Management Services, Company Advisory Services or such other services,
which will not cause a reduction in the Management Fee. Such arrangements
will be on ann's4ength terms and at competitive market rates.
For those Limited Partners admitted after the Effective Date and on or prior to
the Last Equalization Date. Management Fees will be calculated as though
such Limited Partner was admitted as of the Effective Date (other than for
purposes of determining the Applicable Management Fee Percentage).
Servicing Fee: In the event the General Partner accepts a Capital Commitment of less than E9
million in the case of a Euro Partner (and $10 million in the case of a Dollar
Partner) as provided in "—Capital Commitments; Additional Closings" above,
such Limited Partner will be subject to a servicing fee (the "Servicing Fee")
equal to 0.50% per annum of such Limited Partner's Capital Commitment
(payable quarterly in arrears) , subject to the right of the General Partner, in its
sole discretion, to reduce or waive such fee. During the Investment Period,
the Servicing Fee with respect to a Limited Partner will be calculated as a
percentage of such Limited Partner's Capital Commitment. After the earlier
of (i) the end of the Investment Period and (ii) the time management fees in
connection with a successor fund have begun to azerue, the Servicing Fee with
respect to a Limited Partner will be calculated as a percentage of such Limited
Partner's Capital Contributions with respect to Investments that have not been
disposed of. Capital Contributions by a Limited Partner in respect of the
Servicing Fee will not reduce such Limited Partner's unused Capital
Commitment and will not be taken into account in any calculation of
Allocated Fees and Expenses (as defined below) or distributions.
Distributions: The Partnership will make distributions to its Partners out of two categories:
Current Income and Disposition Proceeds.
"Current Income" means all amounts from Investments (other than
Disposition Proceeds), that can be and are distributed to the Partners, net of
Partnership Expenses, reserves for Partnership Expenses and other obligations
allocable to such income (including the repayment of principal and interest on
Partnership borrowings and required tax withholdings). "Disposition
Proceeds" means all amounts received by the Partnership upon the sale,
exchange, refinancing or other disposition by the Partnership of an Investment
or portion of an Investment for cash or marketable securities that can be and
are distributed to the Partners, net of Partnership Expenses, reserves for
Partnership Expenses and other obligations (including the repayment of
principal and interest on Partnership borrowings and required tax
withholdings) allocable thereto.
The Partnership will distribute its Disposition Proceeds from an Investment to
the Limited Partners and the General Partner pro rata in proportion to each of
their Capital Contributions with respect to such Investment. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a portion of each Limited Partner's share of cumulative
Disposition Proceeds (other than of those Limited Partners affiliated with the
General Partner) will be distributed to the General Partner ("Carried Interest
Distributions"). In that regard, each Limited Partner's share of Disposition
ER305378-MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001873
EFTA00237504
Summary Terms ofthe Partnership
Proceeds (other than of those Limited Partners affiliated with the General
Partner) will be distributed in the following amounts and order of priority:
(a) first, to the Limited Partner, until the Limited Partner has received
distributions generated by such investment equal to the sum of (i) the
Limited Partner's Capital Contribution applied to such Investment, plus
(ii) Allocated Fees and Expenses not previously recouped, plus
(iii) unrecouped losses on Investments that have previously been
disposed of:
(b) second, to the Limited Partner, until cumulative distributions of Current
Income and Disposition Proceeds from Investments that have been
disposed of, minus the total Capital Contributions to those Investments
and Allocated Fees and Expenses, with respect to such Limited Partner
(the "Limited Partner's Excess Cumulative Distributions"), equal a 8%
per annum return on the Limited Pariner's Capital Contributions applied
to Investments that have been disposed of plus Allocated Fees and
Expenses;
(c) third, 20% to the Limited Partner and 80% to the General Partner until
Carried Interest Distributions generated by Investments that have been
disposed of equal 20% of the sum of (i) the Limited Partner's Excess
Cumulative Distributions and (ii) the Carried Interest Distributions, in
each case with respect to such Investments; and
(d) thereafter, 80% to the Limited Partner and 20% to the General Partner.
In making the above calculations for distribution of Disposition Proceeds,
Investments that have not been disposed of but that have a fair market value
less than their cost (or adjusted cost due to prior writedowns) will be written
down to fair market value, and the resulting loss will be deemed to be
additional losses on Investments that have been disposed of for purposes of
the calculations as set forth above. Any increases in the fair market value of
an Investment previously written down will be considered additional realized
profits in connection with subsequent distributions (not to exceed the amount
of prior writedown(s)).
"Allocated Fees and Expenses" means the product of (i) the sum of Capital
Contributions or payments made by such Limited Partner for Partnership
Expenses (including, for greater certainty and without duplication,
Organizational Expenses and placement fees) and Management Fees with
respect to such Limited Partner as of the date of such distribution, multiplied
by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Limited Partner's Capital
Contributions with respect to Investments that have been disposed of as of
such date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of such
Limited Partner's Capital Contributions for all Investments as of such date
(including for this purpose amounts of unused Capital Commitments reserved
for additional investment with respect to an existing Investment). Any
Limited Partner's Allocated Fees and Expenses with respect to an Investment
that has been the subject of a disposition will equal such Limited Partner's
Allocated Fees and Expenses at the time of the distribution of Disposition
Proceeds in connection with such Investment, minus such Limited Partner's
Allocated Fees and Expenses at the time of the immediately preceding
distribution of Disposition Proceeds.
The Partnership will distribute its Current Income from an Investment to its
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 27
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001874
EFTA00237505
Summary Terms ofthe Partnership
Partners generally in the manner described above relating to the distribution of
Disposition Proceeds, except that distributions will be made on an Investment-
by-Investment basis and will not take into account a return of Capital
Contributions or any writedowns, but will take into account losses from prior
dispositions not otherwise recouped (including previously unrecouped
Allocated Fees and Expenses). The General Partner will be entitled to
withhold from any distributions amounts necessary to create, in its discretion,
appropriate reserves for expenses (including Management Fees, Partnership
Expenses, Organizational Expenses, Servicing Fees (if applicable) and
placement fees) and liabilities of the Partnership as well as for any required
tax withholdings. Subject to certain limits, tax credits and tax payments made
by or allocated to the Partnership (or any entity in which the Partnership
invests that is treated as a flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax
purposes) will, except in certain circumstances in the case of tax-exempt
Limited Partners, be deemed to have been distributed to the Limited Partners.
The Partnership may make distributions to the General Partner in an amount
sufficient to permit the payment of the tax obligations of the General Partner
and its partners in respect of allocations of income related to the Carried
Interest Distributions to the extent not previously taken into account for such
purpose or distributed to the General Partner. Any such distributions will be
taken into account in making subsequent distributions to the Partners.
Current Income from an Investment will be distributed no later than 60 days
following the fiscal quarter in which such Current Income is received by the
Partnership. Disposition Proceeds from an Investment will be distributed
within 30 days after the date such Disposition Proceeds are received by the
Partnership. If the Partnership disposes of a portion of an Investment, the sold
and retained portions of the Investment will be treated as two separate
Investments for purposes of the above calculations. Distributions of short
term net income from temporary investments will be made among all Partners
in proportion to their respective proportionate interests in the Partnership
property or funds that produced such income, as reasonably determined by the
General Partner. See "—Right to Re-Draw Capital Contributions; Recycling"
above.
Pcr annum returns referred to above will be compounded on an annual basis
(taking into account the timing of all Capital Contributions and distributions).
All cash distributions will be made in Euros in the case ofEuro Partners and in
U.S. dollars in the case ofDollar Partners.
General Partner Upon winding up of the Partnership, if the General Partner has received
Clawback: Carried Interest Distributions with respect to a Limited Partner in excess of
20% of the sum of (i) the Limited Partner's Excess Cumulative Distributions
and (ii) Carried Interest Distributions with respect to such Limited Partner, the
General Partner will recontribute to the Partnership for distribution to such
Limited Partner an amount (the "Clawback Amount") equal to the lesser of(x)
the amount of such excess and (y) the total amount of Carried Interest
Distributions with respect to such Limited Partner (calculated on an after-tax
basis).
If a disposition of an Investment results in a realized loss and there remains an
unrecouped loss relating to such Investment upon the earlier of (i) the one-

year anniversary of such loss and (ii) the winding up of the Partnership, the
General Partner will be obligated to return to the Partnership for distribution to
such Limited Partner an amount with respect to such Limited Partner as
though the Clawback Amount applied as of such time (determined after giving
effect to all transactions through such date).
The Clawback Amount will be secured by the several guarantees of the
partners of the General Partner who receive Carried Interest Distributions.
In-Kind Distributions: In the discretion of the General Partner, certain marketable securities may be
distributed to the Partners prior to the winding up of the Partnership. No such
securities will be distributed unless they would be freely tradable in the hands
of the Limited Partners in accordance with applicable securities laws and
regulations. Upon winding up and as provided under "—Transfer by or
Withdrawal of ERISA, Private Foundation or BHC Limited Partners" below,
distributions of other assets may be made in-kind.
The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, offer each Partner a choice to
receive either cash or an in-kind distribution of marketable securities in
connection with any disposition thereof.
Upon a withdrawal of a Limited Partner from the Partnership (which may
occur only in limited circumstances) and upon the winding up of the
Partnership, the General Partner may receive Carried Interest Distributions
with respect to a distribution of in-kind securities. The valuation of such
securities for such purposes will be determined by the General Partner as set
forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Partner Giveback: The General Partner may require a Partner to return distributions made to such
Partner for the purpose of meeting such Partner's pro rata share of any
Partnership obligations or liabilities arising from the sale or other disposition
of any Investment (including any indemnification obligations), subject to
certain limitations. The obligation to return distributions will cease upon the
termination of the Partnership, unless notice of the potential claim was given
to the Partners prior to such termination.
Allocations of Profits Profits and losses of the Partnership will be allocated among the Partners in a
and Losses: manner consistent with the foregoing distribution provisions and the
requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
- Code').
Expenses: Organizational Expenses. In addition to Capital Contributions or direct
payments for the Management Fee, Limited Partners will be required to make
Capital Contributions or direct payments for their pro rata share, based on
Capital Commitments of each Partner (except as provided under "—Capital
Commitments; Additional Closings" above), of third-party and out-of-pocket
expenses (including travel and related expenses of the Investment Advisor or
the General Partner) incurred by the General Partner in connection with the
organization of the Partnership and the offering of interests therein
("Organizational Expenses"). Limited Partners admitted at subsequent
closings will bear their share of the Organizational Expenses and
organizational expenses relating to Parallel Funds based upon their pro rata
share of Capital Commitments as of the date of each such Partner's admission

Summary Terms ofthe Partnership
Partnership subject to legal, tax, regulatory, accounting or similar
considerations.
Blackstone will not close on any investment fund having the primary purpose
of making control-oriented "opportunistic" investments in real estate assets or
real estate companies located in Europe (a "Similar Fund"), which will in no
way include the BREP Funds, the BPP Funds or in each case, any other
investment vehicles that generally invest alongside such entities, (collectively,
the "Real Estate Funds"), or any other fund described herein, until at least
75% of the Capital Commitments have been invested in or committed in
writing or reserved for Investments or until the end of the Investment Period.
Any Similar Fund closed on or prior to the end of the Investment Period will
invest in Investments only to the extent that the Partnership has invested the
maximum amount that the Partnership is permitted to invest therein and on the
same tenns as the Partnership until the end of the Investment Period unless the
Advisory Committee otherwise consents or the investment by the
Partnership is legally or contractually prohibited or, as a result of the
application of any law, regulation or governmental order, could have a
material adverse effect on the Partnership, the General Partner or any of their
affiliates.
If Blackstone organizes a Similar Fund, Limited Partners will be offered a
reasonable opportunity to become limited partners of such fund, the terms of
which may vary in any and all respects from those of the Partnership. After
the Effective Date, Fund IV will only be permitted to make investments with
respect to which (i) the limited partners of Fund IV have received a drawdown
notice or other written notice of reservation prior to such date, or (ii) Fund IV
has an existing investment.
The General Partner and its affiliates may, but will not be required to, present
to the Partnership any opportunity relating to (i) investments in companies
with substantial real estate holdings that am required by the terms of the
partnership agreements of the Other Blackstone Funds to be presented to such
funds, (ii) investments in properties containing premises of Blackstone or any
affiliate, (iii) transactions that would be precluded or materially limited by
applicable law or regulation, and (iv) investments that individually do not
exceed €20,000,000 of equity. (Sec Section V: "Risk Factors and Potential
Conflicts of Interest—Other Blackstone Funds; Portfolio Companies," "—
Conflicting Fiduciary Duties to Debt Funds" and "—Other Real Estate
Funds.")
Limited Partners' The General Partner may offer Limited Partners and other third parties the
Co-Investment Rights: opportunity to co-invest in particular Investments alongside the Partnership
and any Parallel Funds. Co-investment opportunities offered to Limited
Partners will be allocated as determined by the General Partner in its
discretion. The terms and conditions of any co-investment opportunities will
be determined by the General Partner in its discretion but also may be
negotiated by the General Partner and the potential co-investor on a case-by-
case basis.
Opportunity The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, request proposals from certain
to Provide Financing: Limited Partners or their affiliates to provide debt financing in connection
with any Investment for any amount up to the full amount being sought by the
ER305378-MAXWELL

Summary Terms ofthe Partnership
General Partner. Any such financing would be in addition to funds provided
in accordance with such Limited Partners' Capital Commitments and will not
reduce the unused Capital Commitment of such Limited Partner. The General
Partner, in its sole discretion, will determine which proposals, if any, are
acceptable to the Partnership.
Alternative Investment Alternative investment vehicles in which one or more Limited Partners make a
Vehicles; Parallel Funds; particular Investment outside of the Partnership may be used if it is
Feeder Funds: determined by the General Partner to be in the best interests of a Partner or the
Partners, subject to certain restrictions. (See Section VI: "Regulatory, Tax,
and ERISA Considerations.")
Additional partnerships or other vehicles (referred to herein as - Parallel
Funds") may be formed to invest with the Partnership to accommodate the
special legal, tax, regulatory, accounting or other needs or considerations of
certain investors. Such arrangements will have economic terms no more
favorable than those of the Partnership. All references herein to the
Partnership will also be references to the Parallel Funds unless the context
otherwise indicates.
In addition, the General Partner expects to form one or more non-U.S. entities
("Feeder Funds") available to certain tax-exempt and certain other investors
for the purpose of making their investment in BREP Europe V or an
alternative investment vehicle through such non-U.S. entity. Such a Feeder
Fund will elect to be treated as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. Investors in a Feeder Fund will have indirect interests in BREP
Europe V or an alternative investment vehicle on the same economic terms as
other investors in BREP Europe V or an alternative investment vehicle. U.S.
tax-exempt investors that invest through a Feeder Fund will generally derive
returns from Investments in the form of dividends or capital gain, which are
generally excluded from "unrelated business taxable income" so long as such
investors' acquisition of interests in a Feeder Fund are not debt financed. A
Feeder Fund generally will not be subject to U.S. taxes and will otherwise
generally be treated as a non-U.S. investor. (See Section VI: "Regulatory,
Tax, and ERISA Considerations.")
General Partner/ The General Partner cannot assign its responsibilities to the Partnership nor
Investment Advisor can it be substituted for or replaced as the General Partner of the Partnership
Structure: (other than to an affiliate) without the consent of 66 2/3% in interest of the
Combined Limited Partners. A majority-in-interest in interest of the
Combined Limited Partners may remove the General Partner without "cause"
and 75% in interest of the Combined Limited Partners may cause the
dissolution of the Partnership or terminate the Investment Advisory
Agreement with the Investment Advisor.
Advisory The General Partner will select an advisory committee (the 'M. Advisory
Committee: Committee") consisting of representatives of Combined Limited Partners that
are not affiliates of Blackstone. The purpose of the M. Advisory Committee
will be, among other things, (i) to review and approve the General Partner's
valuations for the purposes of determining writedowns (and subsequent
adjustments thereto), if any. relating to Investments for use in calculating
Carried Interest Distributions. (ii) to review and approve or disapprove any
potential conflicts of interest between the Partnership and the General Partner

Summary Terms ofthe Partnership
or Blackstone, (iii) to review certain fees received by the Investment Advisor
and its affiliates in connection with Investments, (iv) to give consents required
of the "client" under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended,
and (v) to provide guidance on other issues brought to it by the General
Partner. No fees will be paid to the members of the M. Advisory Committee.
The M. Advisory Committee will serve for the term of the Partnership. The
General Partner may remove any member of the M. Advisory Committee by
written notice thereto, subject to applicable notice and objection requirements.
Incurrence of The Partnership may seek to incur or guarantee indebtedness (including
Indebtedness: employing leverage to finance Investments or guaranteeing portfolio company
obligations), which the General Partner will generally seek to structure on a
basis that is non-recourse to the Partnership; provided, that the amount of any
such cash borrowings by the Partnership shall not in the aggregate exceed
25% of Capital Commitments at any time excluding any amounts expected to
be repaid within six months. However, the Partnership may enter into one or
more credit facilities, guarantees or similar obligations that are recourse to the
Partnership and may be secured by the Limited Partners' unused Capital
Commitments as well as the Partnership's assets in order to enable the
Partnership to make Investments or pay expenses without unused Capital
Commitments being drawn down.
To the extent that Partnership borrowings, guarantees or similar obligations
are recourse to the Limited Partners (but solely to the extent of their unused
Capital Commitments) or otherwise secured by their unused Capital
Commitments (which includes an obligation of the General Partner to draw
down unused Capital Commitments to satisfy such obligations), their unused
Capital Commitments will be reduced by their pro rata share of such
obligations while such obligations remain outstanding. A Limited Partner
may be required to acknowledge its obligations to pay its share of such
obligations up to the amount of its unused Capital Commitment.
The General Partner may pledge the assets of the Partnership and convey a
security interest to a lender of the obligations of the Partners to make Capital
Contributions to the Partnership, any alternative investment vehicle, feeder,
blocker and/or any Parallel Fund and perfect such security interest. The
General Partner will give written notice to the Limited Partners if the
Partnership enters into a credit facility that requires by its terms that a
mandatory drawdown with respect to any borrowing or guarantee outstanding
will occur if the Combined Limited Partners vote to remove the General
Partner or cause the dissolution of the Partnership.
The General Partner will make reasonable efforts to avoid any cross-
guarantees or similar obligations for any Other Blackstone Fund that may
invest with the Partnership as permitted herein (other than Parallel Funds and
alternative investment vehicles).
Following the date that is eighteen months following the Initial Closing Date,
the General Partner shall not, without the consent of the •. Advisory
Committee, cause the Partnership to acquire an Investment on any date if,
after giving effect thereto, it would cause the Aggregate Investment Leverage
Ratio on such date to exceed 85%, unless at the time of making such
Investment the General Partner reasonably expects the Aggregate Investment
ER305378-MAXWELL
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001881
EFTA00237512
Summary Terms ofthe Partnership
Leverage Ratio to be reduced to 85% or below within one hundred twenty
(120) days thereafter. The "Aggregate Investment Leverage Ratio" means, on
any date, the quotient obtained by dividing the Aggregate Investment
Leverage on such date by the Base Capital Amount on such date. "Aggregate
Investment Leverage" means, on any date, an amount equal to the sum of (i)
the amount of aggregate outstanding borrowings and guarantees of loans by
the Partnership on such date (other than those secured by the right to draw
down unused Capital Commitments) the proceeds of which were used to
acquire Investments and (ii) without duplication, the Partnership's pro rata
share of the amount of aggregate outstanding borrowings and guarantees of
loans on such date of any person controlled by the Partnership and in which
the Partnership invests - Base Capital Amount" on any date means an amount
equal to the sum of (i) the amount of aggregate Capital Contributions
(including, solely for this purpose, the proceeds from borrowings and
guarantees secured by the right to draw down Unused Capital Commitments
and which were invested in such Investments) for all Investments that have
not been Disposed of on such date, and (ii) the amount of Aggregate
Investment Leverage on such date.
For purposes hereof, any Investment where, at the time of the Partnership's
acquisition thereof, the Aggregate Investment Leverage Ratio specific to such
Investment (i.e., calculated as provided above but in each respect solely with
reference to such Investment and its related Capital Contributions, and any
borrowings or guarantees of loans specific thereto) is greater than 85% shall
be excluded and disregarded from all calculations therein as if the Partnership
had not made such Investment, to the extent and only to the extent the
borrowings and guarantees of loans of the person in which the Partnership
invests arc solely those incurred prior to such Investment (and arc therefore
merely assumed as part of the transaction to which the Investment is subject.
The General Partner shall not, in connection with the incurrence of any
borrowings and/or guarantees of loans by the Partnership or persons in which
the Partnership has made Investments, pledge or grant security interests in the
Partnership's interests in more than one Investment (or the underlying assets
of such Investments) on a combined basis unless (i) the General Partner
determines in good faith that the Investments in question are of the same
character or asset class (e.g., hotel, office, industrial, retail) (including for this
purpose any de minimis additional assets related thereto or managed under any
common platform) and (ii) aggregate Capital Contributions to the Investments
in question so combined do not exceed an amount equal to 25% of the
aggregate amount of the Capital Commitments and Parallel Fund capital
commitments.
Hedging: The Partnership may, but is not required to, enter into any bona fide hedging
transactions (including derivative contracts or instruments) in connection with
the acquisition, holding, financing, refinancing, restructuring or disposition of
any Investment. Any amounts paid by the Partnership for or resulting from
short sales and other derivative contracts or instruments entered into for
hedging purposes and permitted pursuant to the Partnership Agreement will be
considered a Partnership Expense relating to such Investment. Any
distributions resulting from such sales, contracts, instruments or arrangements
will be treated as Current Income or Disposition Proceeds, as reasonably

EFTA00237513
Summary Terms ofthe Partnership
determined by the General Partner, from the Investment hedged thereby. If
two or more Investments are hedged thereby. such payments or distributions
will be allocated among such Investments as reasonably determined by the
General Partner (Capital Contributions relating thereto will be similarly
allocated.) In addition, if the General Partner deems it necessary or advisable,
the General Partner may, in lieu of holding an Investment, structure an
Investment as a derivative contract, instrument or similar arrangement
designed to substantially replicate the benefits and risks of holding the
otherwise permissible Investment.
Defaults: The failure of a Limited Partner to pay its Capital Contributions or other
obligations or any amount otherwise due pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement within ten business days after notice of default is given to it will
result in one or more of the following consequences (to be exercised in the
sole discretion of the General Partner): (i) such Limited Partner will lose its
right to transfer or vote its interest in the Partnership; (ii) such Limited Partner
(A) will not be entitled to make any further Capital Contributions to the
Partnership, (B) will be assessed up to a 75% reduction in its adjusted capital
account and percentage interest in Investments. and/or (C) will forfeit to the
Partnership (to be allocated to the other Partners) all distributions that it would
otherwise receive for Investments in excess of Capital Contributions made by
such Limited Partner less any actual or anticipated expenses, deductions or
losses allocated to such Limited Partner (calculated taking into account the up
to 75% reduction in its adjusted capital account and percentage interest
described above); and (iii) the General Partner will have the right to cause the
transfer, effective immediately upon written notice, of the defaulting Limited
Partner's interest in the Partnership (see - -Transferability of Interests and
Withdrawal" below), in which event the defaulting Limited Partner will be
required to transfer its interest in the Partnership at a transfer price equal to the
amount of Capital Contributions made by such Limited Partner less any
expenses, deductions, losses or distributions allocated to such Limited Partner
and reduced by a percentage of up to 75% (which will first be offered to the
other Partners on a pro rata basis). The General Partner reserves the right to
pursue other remedies (including specific performance) in the event of a
default and may apply and/or waive any of the foregoing remedies with
respect to any defaulting Limited Partner in its sole discretion.
With respect to defaults on Capital Contributions, in such case, each other
Limited Partner may be requested to make an additional Capital Contribution
or other payment with respect thereto, subject to certain limitations (including
that the aggregate of the additional amount and such Limited Partner's Capital
Contributions otherwise required to be made with respect thereto may not
exceed 150% of the amount that otherwise was required to be contributed by
such Limited Partner).
Transferability of Except as described below under "—Transfer by or Withdrawal of ERISA,
Interests and Private Foundation or BHC Limited Partners" below. no Limited Partner will

its capital account. A Limited Partner may not assign, sell, exchange, grant a
security interest over or transfer its interest in the Partnership without the
consent of the General Partner (which consent may not be unreasonably
withheld), except that certain assignments by operation of law or to affiliates

Summary Terms ofthe Partnership
will be permitted without the General Partner's consent: provided, that no
such assignee will be admitted as a substituted Limited Partner without the
consent of the General Partner (which consent may be given or withheld in its
sole discretion). Transfers to non-affiliates of a Limited Partner will be
subject to a right of first offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the transfer
circumstances described in below under "—Transfer by or Withdrawal of
ERISA. Private Foundation or BHC Limited Partners", no transfer of a
Limited Partner's interest may be made unless the General Partner determines
such transfer would not, among other factors more fully described in the
Partnership Agreement, violate applicable law or regulation applicable to the
Partnership or the interest to be transferred or cause the Partnership to be
subject to certain law or regulation. A Limited Partner's unused Capital
Commitment may be reduced to zero in certain limited circumstances solely
relating to legal and regulatory matters.
The General Partner may, subject to certain limitations, cause a withdrawal of
a Limited Partner from the Partnership if such Limited Partner's continued
participation would be reasonably likely to violate any law or regulation
applicable to the Partnership or a written policy or established practice to
which a Limited Partner is subject and which was adopted by such Limited
Partner to comply with applicable U.S. state law.
Transfer by or Under certain circumstances, the General Partner may permit or require the
Withdrawal of ERISA, complete or partial withdrawal of, or the transfer of the interests in the
Private Foundation or Partnership of, Limited Partners that are (or their assets are deemed to be the
BHC Limited Partners: assets of) employee benefit plans, or other retirement plans or arrangements or
may take certain other actions, in order to prevent the assets of the Partnership
from being considered "plan assets." (See Section VI: "Regulatory, Tax, and
ERISA Considerations.") In addition, in the case of private foundation
Limited Partners, the General Partner may permit or require, under certain
circumstances, the withdrawal of such Limited Partners in order to prevent the
imposition of certain excise taxes or a material violation of, or a material
breach of the fiduciary duties by its trustees or governing board under, any
U.S. federal or state law applicable to private foundations or any rule or
regulation adopted thereunder by any agency, commission or authority having
jurisdiction thereon or certain investment policies. The General Partner may
also permit the withdrawal of, or the transfer of the interest in the Partnership
of, Limited Partners that arc subject to the U.S. Bank Holding Company Act
(the "BHC Act") or related rules, or may take certain other actions in order to
prevent any violation of the BHC Act.
The Partnership may issue a subordinated note to a withdrawing Limited
Partner in order to evidence the Partnership's obligation to such Limited
Partner if cash and/or securities are not available at the time of such
withdrawal.
Key Person Rights: If both (a) Jonathan Gray ceases to devote the Required Involvement and (b)
there are not at least two of Kenneth Caplan, Anthony Myers and James
Seppala devoting the Required Involvement (any such event being referred to
herein as a "Key Person Event"), then the General Partner will give each
Limited Partner written notice of the Key Person Event within five (5)
business days thereof. Within sixty days of the Key Person Event, 66 2/3% in

Agreement or gross negligence (within the meaning of New York law) on its
part, or for losses due to the negligence, dishonesty, actual fraud or bad faith
of brokers or other agents of the General Partner or the Partnership and
provided they act in a manner in which they in good faith believe to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership, and, in the case of a
criminal action or proceeding where the person involved had no reasonable

of such Partner, and except that certain amendments may also require the vote
of a specific group of Limited Partners uniquely affected by such amendment.
The General Partner may also amend the Partnership Agreement without the
consent of any Limited Partner in connection with any negotiations with
Limited Partners that are admitted to the Partnership after the Initial Closing
Date so long as such changes do not adversely affect the interests, rights or
obligations of any existing Limited Partner; provided, that any such
amendments will be sent to the Limited Partners at least 10 calendar days prior

Summary Terms ofthe Partnership
(Sec Section V: "Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest—Side
Agreements.')
ERISA Considerations: The General Partner will use reasonable best efforts to either (i) limit equity
participation by "benefit plan investors" (within the meaning of Section 3(42)
of ERISA) to less than 25% of the total value of each class of equity interests
in the Partnership or (ii) structure investments of the Partnership and operate
the Partnership in such a manner so as to qualify the Partnership as a "venture
capital operating company" or "real estate operating company", so that the
underlying assets of the Partnership should not constitute "plan assets" of
plans subject to Tide I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code which invest in
the Partnership.
Prior to the closing date of the Partnership's first Investment (the "Initial
Investment Date"), Partners that are benefit plan investors subject to Tide I of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code ("ERISA Partners') and other Limited
Partners may be required to make direct payments for Partnership Expenses,
Organizational Expenses and/or Management Fees; provided that, if on any
payment date which is prior to the Initial Investment Date ERISA Partners
hold 25% or more of the total value of any class of equity interests in the
Partnership, then in lieu of being required to make direct payments for
Management Fees which would otherwise be required to be made on such
payment date, each ERISA Partner will, and other Limited Partners may be
required to, make a capital contribution for such Management Fees on the
Initial Investment Date. ERISA Partners may also be required to fund their
capital contributions for the Partnership's first Investment, Management Fees,
Organizational Expenses and/or Partnership Expenses into an escrow account
as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Potential investors should carefully
review the ERISA matters discussed under Section VI: "Regulatory, Tax, and
ERISA Considerations" and should consult with their own advisors as to the
consequences of making an investment in the Partnership. Potential investors
should also consult with their own advisors as to the consequences of making
an investment indirectly in an alternative investment vehicle through an
intermediate entity. (See Section VI: "Regulatory, Tax, and ERISA
Considerations")
Risk Factors and Prospective investors should carefully review the matters discussed under
Potential Conflicts of Section V: "Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest."
Interest:
Tax Considerations: It is intended that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Partnership will
be treated as a partnership and not as a "publicly traded partnership" taxed as
an association within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code.
Income or gain of the Partnership may be subject to withholding, income or
other tax in the jurisdictions where Investments are made. This Memorandum
does not address these tax consequences.
An investment in the Partnership has many tax consequences. Investors
should carefully review the matters discussed in Section VI: "Regulatory, Tax,
and ERISA Considerations" and are advised to consult with their own advisors
as to the consequences of making an investment in the Partnership.

Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
V. Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest
Risk Factors
The following considerations should be carefully evaluated before making an investment in the
Partnership. As a result ofthese considerations, as well as other risks inherent in any investment, there
can be no assurance that the Partnership's investment objectives will be achieved or that an investor will
receive a return of the amount tt invested. Prospective investors should be aware that an investment in
the Partnership involves a high degree ofrisk. An investor should only invest in the Partnership as a part
ofan overall investment strategy, and only tfthe investor is able to withstand a total loss ofits investment.
No Assurance ofInvestment Return. The General Partner, the Investment Advisor and/or any of their
affiliates cannot provide assurance that they will be able to choose, make, and realize investments in any
particular Investment. There can be no assurance that the Partnership will be able to generate returns for
its Partners or that the returns will be commensurate with the risks of investing in the types of properties
or companies and transactions described herein. Them can be no assurance that any Partner will receive
any distribution from the Partnership. All Investments involve the risk of loss of capital. Accordingly, an
investment in the Partnership should only be considered by persons who can afford a loss of their entire
investment. Past performance of investment entities associated with Blackstone and/or entities
associated with the Partnership's investment professionals is not necessarily indicative of future
results or performance and provides no assurance of future results.
Real Estate Risks Generally. The Partnership's Investments will be subject to the risks inherent in the
ownership and operation of real estate and real estate-related businesses and assets. Deterioration of real
estate fundamentals generally, and in Europe in particular, may negatively impact the performance of the
Partnership. These risks include, but are not limited to, those associated with the burdens of ownership of
real property, general and local economic conditions, changes in environmental and zoning laws, casualty
or condemnation losses, regulatory limitations on rents, decreases in property values, changes in the
appeal of properties to tenants, changes in supply of and demand for competing properties in an area (as a
result, for instance, of overbuilding), fluctuations in the average occupancy. operating income and room
rates for hotel properties. the financial resources of tenants, changes in availability of debt financing
which may render the sale or refinancing of properties difficult or impracticable, changes in building,
environmental and other laws, energy and supply shortages. various uninsured or uninsurable risks.
natural disasters, political events, changes in government regulations (such as rent control), changes in
real property tax rates and operating expenses, changes in interest rates, and the availability of mortgage
funds, which may render the sale or refinancing of properties difficult or impracticable, increased
mortgage defaults, increases in borrowing rates, negative developments in the economy or political
climate that depress travel activity, environmental liabilities, contingent liabilities on disposition of assets,
acts of God, terrorist attacks, war and other factors that are beyond the control of Blackstone, the General
Partner, or the Investment Advisor. In addition, in acquiring a property or stock in a public company, the
Partnership may agree to lock-out provisions that materially restrict it from selling that property or stock
for a period of time or that impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can
be placed on that property. There can be no assurance that there will be a ready market for the resale of
Investments because Investments will generally not be liquid. Illiquidity may result from the absence of
an established market for the Investments, as well as legal or contractual restrictions on their resale by the
Partnership.

EFTA00237533
Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest
Investments in Land/New Development; Risk of Fraud The Partnership may acquire direct or indirect
interests in undeveloped land or underdeveloped real property, which may often be non-income
producing; provided, that not more than 15% of the aggregate amount of Capital Commitments may be
invested at any time in non-income producing land (excluding entitled land for single and/or multi-family
homes). To the extent that the Partnership invests in such assets, it will be subject to the risks normally
associated with such assets and development activities. Such risks include, without limitation, risks
relating to the availability and timely receipt of zoning and other regulatory or environmental approvals.
the cost and timely completion of construction (including risks beyond the control of the Partnership,
such as weather or labor conditions or material shortages) and the availability of both construction and
permanent financing on favorable terms. These risks could result in substantial unanticipated delays or
expenses and, under certain circumstances, could prevent completion of development activities once
undertaken, any of which could have an adverse effect on the Partnership and on the amount of funds
available for distribution to the Partners. Properties under development or properties acquired for
development may receive little or no cash flow from the date of acquisition through the date of
completion of development and may experience operating deficits after the date of completion. In
addition, market conditions may change during the course of development that make such development
less attractive than at the time it was commenced.
In addition, investments in new development activities could be more susceptible to irregular accounting
or other fraudulent practices. In the event of fraud by any company in which the Partnership invests, the
Partnership may suffer a partial or total loss of capital invested in that company. There can be no
assurance that any such losses will be offset by gains (if any) realized on the Partnership's other
Investments.
Risks of Acquiring Real Estate Property. In addition, the Partnership's Investments will be subject to
various risks which may cause fluctuations in occupancy, rental rates, operating income and expenses or
which may render the sale or financing of its properties difficult or unattractive. For example, following
the termination or expiration of a tenant's lease there may be a period of time before the Partnership will
begin receiving rental payments under a replacement lease. During that period, the Partnership will
continue to bear fixed expenses such as interest, real estate taxes, maintenance and other operating
expenses. In addition, declining economic conditions may impair the Partnership's ability to attract
replacement tenants and achieve rental rates equal to or greater than the rents paid under previous leases.
Increased competition for tenants may require the Partnership to make capital improvements to properties
which would not have otherwise been planned. Any unbudgeted capital improvements that the
Partnership undertakes may divert cash that would otherwise be available for distribution to Limited
Partners. Ultimately, to the extent that the Partnership is unable to renew leases or re-let space as leases
expire, decreased cash flow from tenants will result, which could adversely impact the Partnership's
operating results.
The Partnership may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before an
Investment in a property can be sold. No assurance can be given that the Partnership will have funds
available to correct those defects or to make those improvements. In acquiring a property, the Partnership
may agree to lock-out provisions that materially restrict it from selling that property for a period of time
or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed on that
property. These factors and others that could impede the Partnership's ability to respond to adverse
changes in the performance of its properties could significantly affect the Partnership's financial
condition and operating results.
In some instances, the principal asset of the lessee of a Partnership property may be only the tenant's
improvements thereon, or the liability of the lessee may be limited to its interest in such improvements.
In those cases, the Partnership will be required to rely on the lessee's equity interest in the improvements
for its security. In the event of a default by a lessee or other premature termination of a lease, the
ER305378-MAXWELL

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001903
EFTA00237534
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
Partnership may experience delays in enforcing its rights as lessor, may incur substantial costs in
protecting its investment and may experience an impairment of value. In addition, adverse changes in the
operation of any property, or the financial condition of any tenant, could have an adverse effect on the
Partnership's ability to collect rent payments and, accordingly, on its ability to make distributions to
Limited Partners. A tenant may experience, from time to time, a downturn in its business which may
weaken its financial condition and result in its failure to make rental payments when due. At any time, a
tenant may seek the protection of applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws, which could result in the
rejection and termination of such tenant's lease or other adverse consequences and thereby cause a
reduction in the distributable cash flow of the Partnership. No assurance can be given that tenants will
not file for bankruptcy protection in the future or, if they do, that their leases will continue in effect.
Residential Real Estate Investments. The Partnership may invest from time to time in residential
development projects and financing opportunities relating to certain residential real estate assets or
portfolios thereof. In such circumstances, the performance of such investments may become increasingly
susceptible to adverse changes in prevailing economic and employment conditions in Europe.
Blackstone's ability to invest in residential real estate-related opportunities (including providing financing
for potential owners and operators of residential real estate assets or portfolios thereof) may depend upon
its ability to strategically partner with established and sophisticated operating partners and third parties.
Any downturn in the European or global economies may adversely affect the fmancial condition of
residential owners and tenants, making it more difficult for them to meet their periodic repayment
obligations relating to certain residential real estate properties, which could adversely impact the
Partnerships' investment performance. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will be
able to effectively partner with suitable operating partners and third parties in connection with its
residential real estate-related investment activities, which may impact the Partnership's ability to
effectively identify and consummate such investments.
The Partnership may make investments directly or indirectly in residential mortgage loans (including
loans that may be in default). If a residential mortgage loan is in default, foreclosure of such residential
mortgage loan may be a lengthy and difficult process and may involve significant expenses. The ultimate
disposition of a foreclosed property may yield a price insufficient to cover the cost of the foreclosure
process and the balance attached to the defaulted mortgage loan. In addition, politicians, regulators,
journalists, housing advocates and others have been critical of private investment firms such as
Blackstone that have made investments in residential mortgage loans. Such scrutiny has included adverse
media reports, protests and social media campaigns critical of Blackstone and other private investment
firms, and may decrease the value and liquidity of the Partnership's investments, inhibit the Partnership's
ability to make future investments, cause the Partnership to forego investment opportunities relating to
residential mortgage loans and/or subject the Partnership to new legislation, litigation, changes in
regulatory oversight and/or other consequences that could have a substantial negative effect on the
anticipated return of the Partnership. For example, housing advocates in certain Spanish cities have
sought to prohibit foreclosure practices through local ordinances. Although Blackstone has sought to
ameliorate such scrutiny, including by providing more transparency to homeowners, there remains a
material risk that continued social and political pressures may result in the adoption of burdensome laws
or regulations, or changes in law or regulation, or in the interpretation or enforcement thereof, which are
specifically targeted at the residential mortgage sector, or other changes that could adversely affect the
Partnership and its investments.
Ground Lease Investments. The Partnership may invest from time to time in real estate properties that
are subject to ground leases. As a lessee under a ground lease, the Partnership may be exposed to the
possibility of losing the property upon termination, or an earlier breach by the Partnership, of the ground
lease, which may adversely impact the Partnership's investment performance. Furthermore, ground
leases generally provide for certain provisions that limit the ability to sell certain properties subject to the
lease. In order to assign or transfer rights and obligations under certain ground leases, the Partnership will
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 57
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001904
EFTA00237535
Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts ofInterest
generally need to obtain consent of the landlord of such property. which, in turn, could adversely impact
the price realized from any such sale.
Highly Competitive Market for Investment Opportunities; Operators and Other Partners. The activity
of identifying, completing and realizing attractive real estate investments that fall within the Partnership's
investment objective is highly competitive and involves a high degree of uncertainty. The availability of
investment opportunities generally will be subject to market conditions. In particular, in light of changes
in such conditions, including changes in long-term interest rates, certain types of investments may not be
available to the Partnership on terms that are as attractive as the terms on which opportunities were
available to the BREP Funds and any of their respective predecessor fluids. The Partnership will be
competing for Investments with other real estate investment vehicles, as well as individuals, publicly
traded real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), financial institutions (such as investment and mortgage
banks, pension funds and real estate operating companies), hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds and other
institutional investors. Further, over the past several years. many real estate investment funds and
publicly traded REITs have been formed and others have been consolidated (and many such existing
funds have grown in size) for the purpose of investing in real estate assets, including distressed real estate
assets, and which may invest in Europe. Additional real estate funds, vehicles and REITs with similar
investment objectives may be formed in the future by other unrelated parties and further consolidations
may occur (resulting in larger funds and vehicles). Consequently, it is expected that competition for
appropriate investment opportunities will increase, thus reducing the number of investment opportunities
available to the Partnership and adversely affecting the terms upon which Investments can be made.
Purchasers of the Interests will not have an opportunity to evaluate for themselves the relevant economic,
financial and other information regarding the Investments to be made by the Partnership and, accordingly,
will be dependent upon the judgment and ability of the General Partner and the Investment Advisor in
sourcing transactions and investing and managing the capital of the Partnership. Furthermore, there can
be no assurance that the Partnership will be able to locate, complete and exit Investments which satisfy
the Partnership's rate of return objectives, or realize upon their values, or that the Partnership will be able
to invest fully its committed capital. In addition, Blackstone's investment strategies in certain investments
depend on its ability to enter into satisfactory relationships with joint venture or operating partners. There
can be no assurance that Blackstone's current relationship with any such partner or operator will continue
(whether on currently applicable terms or otherwise) with respect to the Partnership or that any
relationship with other such persons will be able to be established in the future as desired with respect to
any sector or geographic market and on terms favorable to the Partnership.
Prior Performance ofBlackstone Real Estate Investments. The investment objectives of the Partnership
are different from the investment objectives of BREP VIII and its predecessor funds in that only a portion
of those vehicles' investments were in European investments. In addition, the European markets in which
the Partnership will primarily invest may differ significantly from the markets in which BREP Europe IV
and its predecessor funds made their investments. Therefore, the investment performance of such funds
(and, in particular, BREP VIII and its predecessor finds as it relates to non-European investments) is not
necessarily relevant to an investment decision with respect to the Partnership.
Investment in Troubled Assets. The Partnership may make substantial Investments in nonperforming,
underperforming, other troubled assets or undercapitalized real estate companies which involve a degree
of financial risk and are experiencing or are expected to experience severe financial difficulties that may
never be overcome and, as a result, may lead to a loss of some or all of the Partnership's Investment. The
investments may have been originated by financial institutions that are insolvent, in serious financial
difficulty, or no longer in existence; and, as a result, the standards by which such investments were
originated, the recourse to the selling institution, or the standards by which such investments are being
serviced or operated may be adversely affected. For example, under U.S. law, in certain circumstances,
lenders that have inappropriately exercised control of the management and policies of a debtor may have
ER305378-MAXWELL
58 Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001905
EFTA00237536
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
their claims subordinated or disallowed or may be found liable for damages suffered by parties as a result
of such actions. In addition, under certain circumstances under U.S. law, payments to the Partnership and
distributions by the Partnership to the Limited Partners may be required to be returned if any such
payment or distribution is later determined to have been a fraudulent conveyance or a preferential
payment. Non-U.S. (including European) jurisdictions may present analogous or different credit issues.
Bankruptcy laws may delay the ability of the Partnership to realize on collateral for loan positions held by
it or may adversely affect the priority of such loans through doctrines such as equitable subordination. In
addition, portfolio companies located in European jurisdictions may be involved in restructurings,
insolvency proceedings and/or reorganizations that arc not subject to laws and regulations that arc similar
to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and the rights of creditors afforded in U.S. jurisdictions. To the extent such
non-U.S. laws and regulations do not provide the Partnership with equivalent rights and privileges
necessary to promote and protect its interest in any such proceeding, the Partnership's Investments in any
such portfolio company may be adversely affected. Bankruptcy laws may, in certain jurisdictions, result
in a restructuring of the debt without the Partnership's consent under the "cramdown" provisions of
applicable bankruptcy laws and may also result in a discharge of all or part of the debt without payment to
the Partnership.
Investments in Open Market Purchases; Publicly Traded Securities. Although not anticipated to be a
meaningful component of its investment strategy. the Partnership has the ability to invest in securities that
are publicly traded and are, therefore, subject to the risks inherent in investing in public securities. In
particular. the Partnership may not invest more than 25% of the aggregate amount of Capital
Commitments at any time by means of open market purchases of publicly traded securities of real estate
operating companies or other real estate-related companies; provided, that the foregoing limitation will
not apply to open market purchases of securities made in connection with proposed transactions in
relation to which it is the intent of the General Partner to seek to take the relevant business private by
terminating the public listing or trading of such securities within one year of the purchase thereof. When
investing in public securities, the Partnership may be unable to obtain fmancial covenants or other
contractual rights, including management rights that it might otherwise be able to obtain in making
privately negotiated investments. Moreover, the Partnership may not have the same access to information
in connection with investments in public securities, either when investigating a potential investment or
after making an investment, as compared to privately negotiated investments. Furthermore, the
Partnership may be limited in its ability to make investments, and to sell existing investments, in public
securities because Blackstone may be deemed to have material, non-public information regarding the
issuers of those securities or as a result of other internal policies. The inability to sell public securities in
these circumstances could materially adversely affect the investment results of the Partnership. In
addition, an Investment may be sold by the Partnership to a public company where the consideration
received is a combination of cash and stock of the public company, which may, depending on the
securities laws of the relevant jurisdiction, be subject to lock-up periods.
No Market for Limited Partnership Interests; Restrictions on Transfers. Interests in the Partnership
have not been registered under U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the "1933
Act"), the securities laws of any U.S. state or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and, therefore,
cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and other applicable securities
laws, or an exemption from registration is available. It is not contemplated that registration under the
1933 Act or other securities laws will ever be effected. There is no public market for the Interests in the
Partnership and one is not expected to develop. Each Limited Partner will be required to represent that it
is a qualified investor under applicable securities laws and that it is acquiring its Interest for investment
purposes and not with a view to resale or distribution and that it will only sell and transfer its Interest to a
qualified investor under applicable securities laws or in a manner permitted by the Partnership Agreement
and consistent with such laws. A Limited Partners will not be permitted to assign, sell, exchange or
transfer any of its interest, rights or obligations with respect to its Interest, except by operation of law,
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 59
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001906
EFTA00237537
Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest
without the prior written consent of the General Partner, which consent may not be unreasonably
withheld. In addition, the Partners, including the General Partner, will have a right of first offer with
respect to transfers to non-affiliates of a Limited Partner. Except in extremely limited circumstances,
voluntary withdrawals from the Partnership will not be permitted and will only ever be permitted with the
consent of the General Partner. Limited Partners must be prepared to bear the risks of owning Interests
for an extended period oftime.
Illiquid and Long-Term Investments. Investment in the Partnership requires a long-term commitment
with no certainty of return. Most of the Investments will be highly illiquid, and them can be no assurance
that the Partnership will be able to realize on any Investments in a timely manner. Although Investments
by the Partnership may generate some current income, the return of capital and the realization of gains, if
any, from an Investment will generally occur only upon the partial or complete disposition or refinancing
of such Investment. While an Investment may be sold at any time, it is not generally expected that this
will occur for a number of years after the Investment is made. Moreover, an Investment that initially
consists of an interest in property may be exchanged, contributed or otherwise converted into private or
publicly-traded stock of a corporation, interests in a limited liability company or other interests or
property (and vice-versa), and any such exchange, contribution or conversion will likely not constitute a
disposition under the Partnership Agreement of the type that results in investors receiving distributions,
whether in-kind or otherwise. In addition, the Partnership will generally not be able to sell its securities
publicly unless their sale is registered under applicable securities laws, or unless an exemption from such
registration requirements is available. In addition, in some casts the Partnership may be prohibited by
contract or legal or regulator• masons from selling certain securities for a period of time.
The Partnership's Investments in commercial real estate properties am relatively illiquid in that there may
not be ready buyers available and willing to pay fair value at the time the Partnership desires to sell. Over
the longer term, if the Partnership were required to liquidate parts of its property portfolio for any reason,
including in response to changes in economic or real estate market conditions, or as a result of the need to
raise funds to support the Partnership's operations or to repay outstanding indebtedness, the Partnership
may not be able to sell any portion of its portfolio on favorable terms or at all.
Risk of Limited Number of Investments; Lack of Diversification. The Partnership is subject to
restrictions on the size of Investments such that not more than 20% of the aggregate amount of Capital
Commitments may be invested in any one Investment at any time (as more fully set forth in Section II:
"Summary Terms of the Partnership—Investment Limitations") except that up to 37.5% thereof may be
invested only in one Investment at any given time under circumstances where the General Partner
believes in good faith that the amount invested in such Investment can be reduced to no more than 20%
thereof within 180 days from the date of the initial investment therein; provided, that the foregoing
limitations will not apply to an Investment comprising assets located in five or more different geographic
submarkets so long as the Capital Commitments invested in any individual asset does not exceed 10% of
the aggregate amount of Capital Commitments. As such, the Partnership may participate in a limited
number of Investments and, as a consequence, the aggregate return of the Partnership may be
substantially affected by the unfavorable performance of even a single Investment. For Investments
where the General Partner intends to refinance all or a portion of the capital invested (directly or by
selling assets), there is a risk that such refinancing may not be completed, which could result in the
Partnership holding a larger percentage of Capital Commitments in a single Investment and asset type
than desired and could result in lower overall returns. As described in "Investments in Land/New
Development; Risk of Fraud" above, the Partnership is also subject to restrictions such that not more than
15% of the aggregate amount of Capital Commitments may be invested at any time in non-income
producing land (excluding entitled land for single and/or multi-family homes). In addition, not more than
30% of the aggregate Capital Commitments may be invested by the Partnership at any time in
Investments in (A) real estate assets (or pools thereof) located primarily in any one country in Europe
ER305378-MAXWELL
60 Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001907
EFTA00237538
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
(excluding for this purpose, France, the United Kingdom and Germany) or (B) real estate companies that
have a majority of their assets or derive a majority of their most recently completed fiscal year's revenues
from sources in any one country in Europe (excluding for this purpose. France. the United Kingdom and
Germany). Other than such restrictions, investors have no assurance as to the degree of diversification in
the Partnership's Investments, either by geographic region or asset type. In addition, the Advisory
Committee may waive any of the investment limitations with respect to any specific Investment.
Future Investments Unspecified As of the date of this Memorandum, none of the Partnership's
Investments have been identified. Limited Partners will therefore be relying on the ability of the General
Partner and the Investment Advisor to select the Investments to be made.
Non-Controlling Investments; Investments with Third Ponies The Partnership may hold a non-
controlling interest in certain Investments and, therefore, may have a limited ability to protect its position
in such Investments, although as a condition of investing in an Investment, the General Partner expects
that appropriate rights generally will be sought to protect the Partnership's interests. In such cases, the
Partnership will typically be significantly reliant on the existing management, board of directors and other
shareholders of such companies, who may not be affiliated with the Partnership and whose interests may
conflict with the interests of the Partnership. The Partnership may also co-invest with third parties
through partnerships, joint ventures or other similar arrangements. Such Investments may involve risks in
connection with such third-party involvement, including the possibility that a third-party partner or co-
venturer may have financial difficulties, resulting in a negative impact on such Investment, may have
economic or business interests or goals which arc inconsistent with those of the Partnership, or may be in
a position to take (or block) action in a manner contrary to the Partnership's investment objectives, or the
increased possibility of default by, diminished liquidity or insolvency of, the third party, due to a
sustained or general economic downturn. In addition, the Partnership may in certain circumstances be
liable for the actions of its third party partners or co-venturers. In those circumstances where such third
parties involve a management group, such third parties may receive compensation arrangements relating
to such Investments, including incentive compensation arrangements.
Market Conditions. The Partnership's strategy in some Investments may be based, in part, upon the
premise that real estate businesses and assets will be available for purchase by the Partnership at prices
that the General Partner and the Investment Advisor consider favorable. Further, the Partnership's
strategy relies, in part, upon local market recoveries continuing during the term of the Partnership. No
assurance can be given that real estate businesses and assets can be acquired or disposed of at favorable
prices or that the market for such assets will remain stable, recover or continue to improve, as the case
may be, since this will depend, in part, upon events and factors outside the control of the General Partner
and the Investment Advisor. In addition, there can be no assurance that current market conditions may
not deteriorate during the life of the Partnership, which could have a materially adverse effect on the
assets of the Partnership. Actual or perceived trends in real estate markets do not guarantee, predict or
forecast future events, which may differ significantly from those implied by such trends.
Volatility of Credit Markets May Affect Ability to Finance and Consummate Investments. The
volatility of the global credit markets (and in particular, the recent deterioration, disruption and
extraordinary volatility of the credit markets in Europe) has made it more difficult for financial sponsors
like Blackstone to obtain favorable financing for investments. A widening of credit spreads, coupled with
the extreme volatility of the global debt markets (in particular, in Europe) and a rise in interest rates, has
dramatically reduced investor demand for high yield debt and senior bank debt, which in turn has led
some investment banks and other lenders to be unwilling to finance new private equity investments or to
only offer committed financing for these investments on unattractive terms. The Partnership's ability to
generate attractive investment returns for its Limited Partners will be adversely affected to the extent the
Partnership is unable to obtain favorable financing terms for its investments. Moreover, to the extent that
such marketplace events are not temporary and continue, they may have an adverse impact on the
FR305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 61
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001908
EFTA00237539
Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts ofInterest
availability of credit to businesses generally and could lead to an overall weakening of European, as well
as U.S. and global economies. Such an economic downturn could adversely affect the financial resources
of corporate borrowers in which the Partnership has invested and result in the inability of such borrowers
to make principal and interest payments on outstanding debt when due. In the event of such defaults, the
Partnership may suffer a partial or total loss of capital invested in such companies, which could, in turn,
have an adverse effect on the Partnership's returns. Such marketplace events also may restrict the ability
of the Partnership to sell or liquidate investments at favorable times or for favorable prices.
Leverage. The Partnership intends to utilize significant leverage to finance the Partnership's Investments
in a manner the General Partner believes is prudent. (Sec Section II: "Summary Terms of the
Partnership—Incurrence of Indebtedness.") The use of leverage involves a high degree of financial risk
and will increase the exposure of the Investments to adverse economic factors such as rising interest rates,
downturns in the economy or deteriorations in the condition of the Investments. The General Partner may
also obtain leverage at the fund level on a deal by deal basis. (See Section II: "Summary Terms of the
Partnership—Incurrence of Indebtedness.") Although borrowings by the Partnership have the potential to
enhance overall returns that exceed the Partnership's cost of funds, they will further diminish returns (or
increase losses on capital) to the extent overall mums are less than the Partnership's cost of funds. In
addition, borrowings, by the Partnership may be secured by the Limited Partners' Capital Commitments
as well as by the Partnership's assets; provided, that the aggregate amount of any such borrowings or
guaranties by the Partnership of cash borrowings by an entity in which an Investment is held will not in
the aggregate exceed 25% of capital commitments at any time, excluding any amounts expected to be
repaid within six months. In connection with one or more credit facilities entered into by the Partnership,
distributions to the Limited Partners may be subordinated to payments required in connection with any
indebtedness contemplated thereby. If the Partnership defaults on secured indebtedness, the lender may
foreclose and the Partnership could lose its entire Investment in the security for such loan and/or the
lender may issue a drawdown notice for the purpose of repaying the secured indebtedness. A credit
facility at the fund level may place restrictions on payments to equity holders, including prohibitions on
payments in the event of any default (or continuance thereof) under the credit facility. (See also "—Other
Blackstone Funds; Allocation of Investment Opportunities" below.)
The Partnership expects to incur indebtedness and/or guarantees to fund Investments using proceeds
derived through fund-level borrowings (e.g., a secured subscription credit facility) on a long-term basis
and/or in advance of calling capital from Limited Partners, which may be on a several, joint and several
or cross-collateralized basis (which may be on an investment-by-investment or portfolio wide basis) with
the BREP Co-Investors and/or Other Blackstone Funds. While such arrangements may be joint and
several with respect to the Partnership, such arrangements may not necessarily impose reciprocal joint
and several obligations on such other vehicles. The costs and expenses of any such borrowings will
generally be allocated among the Partnership and such other vehicles or funds pro rata (and to the Limited
Partners pro rata), which will increase the expenses borne by Limited Partners and would be expected to
diminish net investment returns. Furthermore, as a result of the incurrence of indebtedness on a joint and
several or cross-collateralized basis, the Partnership may be required to contribute amounts in excess of
its pro rata share, including additional capital to make up for any shortfall if such vehicles are unable to
repay their pro rata share of such indebtedness. Moreover, the Partnership could also lose its interests in
performing Investments in the event such performing Investments are cross-collateralized with poorly
performing or non-performing Investments.
After the eighteen month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, the Partnership will not be permitted to
acquire an Investment on any date if, after giving effect to such Investment, the Aggregate Investment
Leverage Ratio on such date exceeds 85%, unless the M. Advisory Committee consents or if at the time
such Investment is made the General Partner reasonably expects the Aggregate Investment Leverage
Ratio to be reduced to 85% or below within one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter. Moreover, in
connection with the incurrence of any borrowings and/or guarantees of loans by the Partnership or its
ER305378-MAXWELL

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001909
EFTA00237540
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
portfolio companies, the Partnership will not be permitted to pledge or grant security interests in its
interests in more than one Investment (or the underlying assets of such Investments) on a combined basis
unless (i) the General Partner determines in good faith that the Investments in question are of the same
character or asset class (e.g., hotel, office, industrial, retail) and (ii) aggregate Capital Contributions to the
Investments in question so combined do not exceed 25% of the aggregate Capital Commitments and
Parallel Fund Capital Commitments. (See Section II: "Summary Terms of the Partnership—Incurrence of
Indebtedness.") As such, the Partnership may be restricted in participating in certain Investments and, as a
consequence, the aggregate return of the Partnership may be substantially affected.
Tax-exempt investors should note that the use of leverage by the Partnership may create "unrelated
business taxable income" and should refer to the discussion of "Certain Tax Considerations—Certain
U.S. Tax Considerations—Tax-Exempt U.S. Investors" in Section VI: "Regulatory, Tax, and ERISA
Considerations," including the discussion therein relating to the Feeder Fund that the General Partner
expects to form for these purposes.
Bridge Financings. From time to time, the Partnership may lend to one of its properties or companies on
a short-term, unsecured basis in anticipation of a future issuance of equity or long-term debt securities.
Such bridge loans would typically be convertible into a more permanent, long-term security; however, for
reasons not always in the Partnership's control, such long-term securities may not be issued and such
bridge loans may remain outstanding. In such events, the interest rate on such loans may not adequately
reflect the risk associated with the unsecured position taken by the Partnership. In addition, Blackstone
may extend such loans to the Partnership or a portfolio vehicle or entity or operating platform and its
respective assets (each, a "Portfolio Vehicle') on a short-term basis on terms which are as favorable to the
Partnership as the terms that could have been obtained at the time of such lending from a third-party
lender and which will be disclosed to the M. Advisory Committee.
Reliance on the General Partner and Investment Advisor. The General Partner and the Investment
Advisor will have exclusive responsibility for the Partnership's activities, and, other than as set forth
herein and in the Partnership Agreement, Limited Partners will not be able to make investment or any
other decisions concerning management of the Partnership. In this regard, investors should note that as of
the date of this Memorandum none of the Partnership's Investments have been identified. Accordingly,
Limited Partners will be relying on the ability of the General Partner and the Investment Advisor to select
the Investments to be made using the capital available to the Partnership. In addition, in connection with
its activities on behalf of the Partnership, it is expected that the Investment Advisor will appoint The
Blackstone Group International Partners LLP ("BGIP") as a sub-investment adviser to advise the
Investment Advisor with respect to the Partnership's investment program, general advice and information
relating to property markets and to assist in arranging transactions by or on behalf of the Partnership.
Therefore, in managing the Partnership's activities the Investment Advisor will be relying on BGIP's
advice and judgments. No person should purchase an Interest unless such person is willing to entrust all
aspects of the management of the Partnership to the General Partner and the Investment Advisor
(including for such purposes, BGIP).
Recycling; Reinvestment. During the Investment Period, under certain circumstances and subject to
certain conditions, proceeds distributable (or previously distributed) to the Partners that constitute a return
of Capital Contributions may be retained and reinvested (or recalled for reinvestment) by the General
Partner or used (or recalled for use) by the General Partner for any other proper purpose. Accordingly, a
Partner may be required to fund for Investments an aggregate amount in excess of its Capital
Commitment during the term of the Partnership, and to the extent such recalled or retained amounts are
reinvested in Investments, a Limited Partner will remain subject to investment and other risks associated
with such Investments.

Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
Failure to Make Payments If a Limited Partner fails to pay when due installments of its Capital
Commitment to the Partnership or its portion of Management Fees, Organizational Expenses or any
amount otherwise due under the Partnership Agreement. and the Capital Contributions made by non-
defaulting Limited Partners and borrowings by the Partnership are inadequate to cover the defaulted
Capital Contribution, the Partnership may be unable to pay its obligations when due. As a result, the
Partnership may be subjected to significant penalties that could materially adversely affect the returns to
the Limited Partners (including non-defaulting Limited Partners). If a Limited Partner defaults, it may be
subject to various remedies as provided in the Partnership Agreement, including, without limitation,
reductions in its capital account balance/percentage interest, a forced sale of its Interest at a discount and
preclusion from participation in any further investments made in the Partnership. A default by a Limited
Partner may also limit the Partnership's availability to incur borrowings and avail itself of what would
otherwise have been available credit. The General Partner may, subject to certain limitations, require an
additional funding of Capital Contributions from the non-defaulting Limited Partners to fund the shortfall
caused by the defaulting Limited Partner(s). (See Section II: "Summary, Terms of the Partnership—
Defaults.")
Dilution from Subsequent Closings Limited Partners that are admitted or increase their Capital
Commitment at subsequent closings on or prior to the Last Equalization Date will generally participate in
existing Investments of the Partnership. diluting the interest of existing Limited Partners therein.
Although such Limited Partners will contribute their respective pro rata share of previously made Capital
Contributions (plus an additional amount thereon), there can be no assurance that this payment will reflect
the fair value of the Partnership's existing Investments at the time such additional Limited Partners
subscribe for Interests.
Role ofReal Estate Professionals. The success of the Partnership will depend in part upon the skill and
management expertise of Blackstone's real estate professionals. The interests of these professionals in
the General Partner and the Investment Advisor should tend to discourage them from withdrawing from
participation in the Partnership's investment activities. However, them is ever increasing competition
among alternative asset firms, financial institutions, private equity firms, investment advisors, investment
managers, real estate investment companies, real estate investment trusts and other industry participants
for hiring and retaining qualified investment professionals and there can be no assurance that such
professionals will continue to be associated with the General Partner, the Investment Advisor or their
affiliates throughout the life of the Partnership or that replacements will perform well. In addition, all
decisions directly related to specific Investments must be approved by the Investment Committee. If
Blackstone's real estate professionals cannot agree on any aspects of decisions with respect to the
Partnership and its actual or potential Investments, the investment results of the Partnership may be
adversely impacted. Certain of the senior and other professionals involved in the BREP Funds and their
predecessors will not be part of the Blackstone team working on BREP Europe V. In addition, members
of the investment team will work on other projects for Blackstone and its affiliates. Conflicts of interest
may arise in allocating management time, services or functions, and the ability of the General Partner, the
Investment Advisor and the members of the investment team to access other professionals and resources
within Blackstone for the benefit of the Partnership as described in this Memorandum may be limited.
Such access may also be limited by the internal compliance policies of Blackstone or other legal or
business considerations, including those constraints generally discussed herein.
Investments in Certain Jurisdictions. The Partnership will make Investments in Europe. Investments in
jurisdictions outside of Europe may be made only if the non-European component of such Investment
comprises a minority of the overall Investment in Europe and may involve certain risks not typically
associated with investing in real estate businesses and assets in Europe, including risks relating to (i)
currency exchange matters for investments, including fluctuations in exchange rates, and costs associated
with conversion of investment principal and income from one currency into another (See "—Currency

and Exchange Rate Risks" below); (ii) differences in conventions relating to documentation, settlement,
corporate actions, stakeholder rights and other matters; (iii) differences between each of the European real
estate markets, on the one hand, and those of other jurisdictions, on the other hand, including potential
price volatility in and relative illiquidity of some European securities markets; (iv) certain economic,
political and social risks, including potential exchange-control regulations, potential restrictions on
foreign investment and repatriation of amounts invested, the risks associated with political, economic or
social instability, including the risk of sovereign defaults, regulatory changc, and the possibility of
expropriation or confiscatory taxation or the imposition of withholding or other taxes on dividends,
interest, capital gains, other income or gross sale or disposition proceeds, and adverse economic and
political developments; (v) the absence ofuniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards,
practices and disclosure requirements and differences in government supervision and regulation; (vi) less
developed corporate laws regarding stakeholder rights, creditors' rights (including the rights of secured
parties), fiduciary duties and the protection of investors; (vii) differences in the legal and regulatory
environment or enhanced legal and regulatory compliance; (viii) political hostility to investments by
foreign or private equity investors; and (ix) less publicly available information. While the General
Partner intends, where deemed appropriate, to manage the Partnership in a manner that will minimize
exposure to the foregoing risks (although the General Partner does not in the ordinary course expect to
hedge long-term currency risks), there can be no assurance that adverse developments with respect to
such risks will not adversely affect the assets of the Partnership that are held in certain countries.
Prospective investors should also note the considerations discussed in Section VI: -Regulatory, Tax, and
ERISA Considerations—Certain U.S. Tax Considerations—Tax Treatment of U.S. Limited Partners."
While Investments in (A) real estate assets (or pools thereof) located primarily in any one country in
Europe (excluding for this purpose, France, the United Kingdom and Germany) or (B) real estate
companies that have a majority of their assets or derive a majority of their most recently completed fiscal
years revenues from sources in any one country in Europe (excluding for this purpose, France, the United
Kingdom and Germany) will be subject to a cap of 30% of aggregate Capital Commitments at any time,
subject to such limitation the Partnership may invest in certain markets, which may include the following
heightened risks (in addition to the other risks set forth herein with respect to the Partnership's
investments generally).
Political/Sovereign Risks in Certain Markets in Europe. The economies of certain individual
markets in Europe, in particular, Eastern Europe and Turkey, may differ favorably or unfavorably
from those of more economically developed markets in such respects as growth of gross domestic
product, rate of inflation, currency depreciation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency
and balance of payments position. Govemments of certain markets in Europe, in particular,
Eastcm Europe and Turkey, have exercised and continue to exercise substantial influence over
many aspects of the private sector. In some cases, the government owns and/or controls many
companies, including some of the largest in the country. Accordingly, government actions could
have a significant effect on economic and market conditions in certain European markets, in
particular, Eastern Europe and Turkey. Government approvals may be required in connection
with private transactions and such approvals may take a far longer period of time to obtain than in
fully-developed markets. Moreover, certain markets in Europe, in particular, Eastern Europe and
Turkey, generally 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. These economies also have been and may continue to be
adversely affected by economic conditions in the countries with which they trade. With respect
to certain markets in Europe, in particular, Eastern Europe and Turkey, there is the possibility of
nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, possible seizure or nationalization of
foreign deposits and possible adoption of governmental restrictions which might adversely affect
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 65
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001912
EFTA00237543
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
the payment of principal and interest to investors located outside the country of the issuer,
whether from currency blockage or otherwise, political changes, government regulation,
economic or social instability, diplomatic developments (including war) or terrorism which could
affect adversely the economies of such countries or the value of the Partnership's investments in
those countries. The quality and reliability of official data published by the government or
securities exchanges in emerging markets may not accurately reflect the actual circumstances
being reported. In addition, the inter-relatedness of certain economics in Europe. in particular,
Eastern Europe and Turkey, has deepened over the years, with the effect that economic
difficulties in one country often spread throughout an applicable region. Furthermore, some of
the securities may be subject to brokerage taxes levied by governments, which has the effect of
increasing the cost of such investment and reducing the realized gain or increasing the realized
loss on such securities at the time of sale. No assurance can be given that the Partnership's
Investments will not be adversely affected by effects in countries outside of where such
Investments are located.
Investment and Repatriation Restrictions. Prior government approval for foreign investments
may be required under certain circumstances in certain markets in Europe, including Eastern
Europe and Turkey, and the process of obtaining these approvals may require a significant
expenditure of time and resources. Furthermore, investments in companies in certain markets in
Europe may require significant government approvals under corporate, securities, exchange
control, foreign investment and other similar laws and may require financing and structuring
alternatives that differ significantly from those customarily used in filly-developed countries. In
addition, in certain countries, in particular, Eastern Europe and Turkey, such laws and regulations
have been subject to frequent and unforeseen change, potentially exposing the Partnership to
restrictions, taxes and other obligations that were not anticipated at the time an investment was
initially made.
Legal Framework and Corporate Governance in Certain Markets in Europe. Certain markets in
Europe do not have well-developed legal frameworks. In particular, certain markets in Europe do
not have well-developed shareholder rights, which could adversely affect the Partnership's
minority investments. In these markets, there is often less government supervision and regulation
of business and industry practices. stock exchanges, over-the-counter markets, brokers, dealers,
counterparties and issuers than in other more established markets. Any regulatory supervision
which is in place may be subject to manipulation or control. Certain European countries, in
particular, Eastern Europe and Turkey, do not have mature legal systems comparable to those of
more developed countries. Moreover, the process of legal and regulatory reform may not be
proceeding at the same pace as market developments, which could result in investment risk.
Legislation to safeguard the rights of private ownership may not yet be in place in certain areas,
and there may be the risk of conflict among local, regional and national requirements. In certain
cases, the laws and regulations governing investments in financial instruments may not exist or
may be subject to inconsistent or arbitrary appreciation or interpretation. Both the independence
of judicial systems and their immunity from economic, political or nationalistic influences remain
largely untested in many countries. The Partnership may also encounter difficulties in pursuing
legal remedies or in obtaining and enforcing judgments in the courts of certain European
countries. Certain markets provide inadequate legal remedies for breaches of contract. Due to the
foregoing risks and complications, the costs associated with investments in certain markets in
Europe, in particular, Eastern Europe and Turkey, generally are higher than for securities and
other instruments of issuers based in other countries in Europe.
ER305378-MAXWELL
66 Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001913
EFTA00237544
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
Lack ofTransparency in Certain Markets. Companies in certain markets in Europe. in particular,
Eastern Europe and Turkey, are not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards, practices and disclosure requirements comparable to those
applicable to U.S. companies. In particular, the assets and profits appearing on the financial
statements of a company in certain markets in Europe, in particular, Eastern Europe and Turkey,
may not reflect its financial position or results of operations in the way they would have been
reflected had such financial statements been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. In addition, for a company that keeps accounting records in a currency
other than Euros. inflation accounting rules in certain markets in Europe require, for both tax and
accounting purposes, that certain assets and liabilities be restated on the company's balance sheet
in order to express items in terms of a currency of constant purchasing power. As a result,
financial data may be materially affected by restatements for inflation and may not accurately
reflect the real condition of real estate, companies and securities markets. Accordingly, the
Partnership's ability to conduct due diligence in connection with an investment and to monitor the
investment may be adversely affected by these factors.
Taxation in Certain Jurisdictions. The Partnership, vehicles through which the Partnership makes
Investments or Limited Partners may be subject to income or other tax in the jurisdictions in which
Investments arc made. Additionally, withholding tax or branch tax may be imposed on earnings of the
Partnership (or vehicles through which it invests) from Investments in such jurisdictions. Local and other
tax incurred in non-U.S. jurisdictions by the Partnership or vehicles through which it invests may not be
creditable to or deductible by a Limited Partner under the tax laws of the jurisdiction where such Limited
Partner resides, including the United States. There can be no assurance that tax authorities in the
jurisdictions in which the Partnership invests will not treat the Partnership (or any of its affiliates) as if it
has a permanent establishment in the local jurisdiction, which would result in additional local taxation.
Changes to taxation treaties (or their interpretation) between countries in Europe and countries through
which the Partnership invests may adversely affect the Partnership's ability to efficiently realize income
or capital gains.
Prospective investors should also note the considerations discussed in Section VI: "Regulatory, Tax, and
ERISA Considerations—Certain U.S. Tax Considerations—Other Tax Matters—Taxes in Other
Jurisdictions."
Currency and Exchange Rate Risks. The Partnership's assets generally will be denominated in Euros.
Consequently, the return realized on any Investment by investors whose functional currency is not the
Euro may be adversely affected by movements in currency exchange rates, costs of conversion and
exchange control regulations, in addition to the performance of the Investment itself. Moreover, the
Partnership may incur costs when converting one currency into another. The value of an investment may
fall substantially as a result of fluctuations in the currency of the country in which the investment is made
as against the value of the Euro. The General Partner may (but is not obliged to) endeavor to manage
currency exposures into Euros in particular in countries that do not use the Euro as their primary currency
(e.g., the United Kingdom, Poland, etc.), using appropriate hedging techniques where available and
appropriate. The Partnership may incur costs related to currency hedging arrangements. There can be no
assurance that adequate hedging arrangements will be available on an economically viable basis.
Movements in the foreign exchange rate between Euros and the currency applicable to a particular
Limited Partner may have an impact upon such Limited Partner's returns in their own currency of
account. The Partnership will incur costs when converting one currency into another. Furthermore,
Capital Contributions to the Partnership and distributions from the Partnership will be denominated in
Euros and Limited Partners may incur transaction costs associated with the conversion of Euros into their
local currency. There may be foreign exchange regulations applicable to investments in foreign
currencies in certain jurisdictions where this Memorandum is being issued.

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001914
EFTA00237545
Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest
Potential Collapse of the Eura The Partnership's primary strategy is to undertake investments in
countries within the European Union, a significant number of which use the Euro as their national
currency. In the recent past the stability of certain European financial markets deteriorated and
speculation as to the possibility of additional defaults by sovereign states in Europe in respect of their
obligations increased. Given current market conditions of relatively weak growth in many EU member
states (which are expected to continue in the near to medium term), them is a risk that default of certain
participating member states of the EU may lead to the collapse of the Eurozonc as it is constituted today
or that certain member states of the EU may cease to use the Euro as their national currency. This could
have an adverse effect on the Partnership, the performance of its investments and its ability to fulfill its
investment objectives. Moreover, this could have a detrimental effect on the performance of investments
both in those countries that may experience a default on liabilities and on other countries within the EU.
A potential primary effect would be an immediate reduction of liquidity for particular investments in the
affected countries, thereby potentially impairing the value of such investments. Further, a deteriorating
economic environment caused directly or indirectly by such a default may have a direct effect on
underlying property fundamentals thereby impacting the value of the Partnership's investments generally.
Investors should bear in mind that, if the Euro is no longer in existence or, having regard to the
Partnership's investment objectives, is no longer an appropriate currency (or is at risk of ceasing to exist
or ceasing to be an appropriate currency), then the General Partner may, in consultation with the •.
Advisory Committee, adjust the currency of the Partnership to the U.S. dollar or such other currency or
basket of currencies as the General Partner reasonably determines. In such event, any prior Capital
Contributions and distributions will be converted at the prevailing Rate of Exchange from the former
currency into such replacement currency (or basket of currencies) as at the date of the relevant drawdown
or distribution and Euro Partners will be required to fund all future Capital Contributions in such
replacement currency (or basket of currencies).
General Economic and Market Conditions Regarding Commercial and Real Estate Markets in Europe
The real estate markets in Europe have recently been adversely impacted by the ongoing global banking
crisis and the possibility of additional defaults by certain European sovereign states in respect of their
obligations, with property values, including the value of commercial real estate, demonstrating substantial
and continuing declines. (Sec "—Potential Collapse of the Euro" above) The Partnership cannot predict
for how long economic conditions will continue to impact these markets adversely, or to what degree
economic conditions will deteriorate Anther. Continuing declines in the performance of national
economies or the real estate markets in European countries have had a negative impact on consumer
spending, rental revenues and vacancy rates, and as a result, could have a material adverse effect on the
Partnership's business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition to general economic conditions, the commercial real estate markcts in which the Partnership
operates am also affected by a number of other factors which may significantly impact the value of
commercial real estate investments. including interest rates and credit spreads. levels of prevailing
inflation, the availability of financing, the returns from alternative investments as compared to real estate
and changes in planning, environmental, commercial lease, and tax laws and practices. In particular,
commercial property values are dependent on, among others, current rental values and occupancy rates,
prospective rental growth, lease lengths, tenant creditworthiness and solvency, and investment yields
(which are, in turn, a function of interest rates, the market appetite for property investments in general and
with reference to the specific property in question) together with the nature, location and physical
condition of the property concerned. Rental revenues and commercial real estate values are also affected
by factors specific to each local market in which the property is located, including the supply of available
space, demand for commercial real estate and competition from other available space. Market conditions,
such as the recent global economic downturn, could decrease the demand for commercial real estate and
thereby increase vacant space and exert pressure on the Partnership to provide rental incentives to tenants

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001915
EFTA00237546
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofinterest
resulting in a decrease in the rental income, rental growth and property values of the Partnership's office
portfolio, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of
operations and future prospects.
As a result of the above or other factors, the Partnership's ability to maintain or increase the occupancy
levels of its properties through the execution of leases with new tenants and the renewal of leases with
existing tenants, as well as its ability to increase rents over the longer term, may be adversely affected. In
particular, tenants going into administration, non-renewal of existing leases or early termination by
significant existing tenants in the Partnership's office portfolio would result in a significant decrease in
the Partnership's net rental income. If the Partnership's net rental income declines, it would have less
cash available to service and repay its indebtedness and the value of its properties would decline further
as well. In addition, significant expenditures associated with each property, such as real estate taxes, new
regulations compliance works service charges and renovation and maintenance costs, are generally not
reduced in proportion to any decline in rental revenue from that property. If rental revenue from a
property declines while the related costs do not decline, the Partnership's income and cash receipts could
be adversely affected. Any significant deterioration in economic conditions or conditions in the
commercial real estate market which contributes to a decline in rental revenues or further decline in
market values of the Partnership's assets may materially adversely affect the business, results of
operations and financial condition of the Partnership.
General Economic and Market Conditions. The real estate industry generally and the success of the
Partnership's investment activities in particular will both be affected by general economic and market
conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, credit defaults, inflation rates, economic
uncertainty, changes in applicable laws and regulations (including laws relating to taxation of the
Partnership's Investments), trade barriers, currency exchange controls, and national and international
political, environmental and socioeconomic circumstances in respect of the countries in which the
Partnership may invest. These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the
liquidity of the Partnership's investments, which could impair the Partnership's profitability or result in
losses. In addition, general fluctuations in the market prices of securities and interest rates may affect the
Partnership's investment opportunities and the value of the Partnership's investments. Blackstone's
financial condition may be adversely affected by a significant general economic downturn and it may be
subject to legal, regulatory, reputational and other unforeseen risks that could have a material adverse
effect on Blackstone's businesses and operations (including those of the Partnership). A recession,
slowdown and/or sustained downturn in the global economy or European real estate market (or any
particular segment thereof) or a weakening of credit markets (including a perceived increase in
counterparty default risk) have a pronounced impact on the Partnership and could adversely affect the
Partnership's profitability, impede the ability of the Partnership's portfolio companies to perform under or
refinance their existing obligations, and impair the Partnership's ability to effectively deploy its capital or
realize upon Investments on favorable terms and may have an adverse impact on the availability of credit
to businesses generally. which in turn may have an adverse impact on the business and operations of the
Partnership. Blackstone could also be affected by difficult conditions in the capital markets and any
overall weakening of the financial services industry. It is possible that a weakening of credit markets
could adversely affect Blackstone's funding obligations to the Partnership and the Partnership could
suffer other adverse consequences, any of which could adversely affect the business of the Partnership,
restrict the Partnership's investment activities and impede the Partnership's ability to effectively achieve
its investment objective. In addition, economic problems in a single country are increasingly affecting
other markets and economies. A continuation of this trend could adversely affect global economic
conditions and world markets and, in turn, could adversely affect the Partnership's performance. My of
the foregoing events could result in substantial or total losses to the Partnership in respect of certain
Investments, which losses will likely be exacerbated by the presence of leverage in a portfolio company's
capital structure.

Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest
Hedging Policies/Risks While it is not currently anticipated that the Partnership will use derivative
instruments for long-term hedging purposes as a meaningful component of its investment strategy, the
Partnership may utilize a wide variety of derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes.
The successful utilization of hedging and risk management transactions requires skills that are separate
from the skills used in selecting and monitoring investments and such transactions may entail greater than
ordinary investment risks. Additionally, costs related to currency hedging arrangements will be borne by
the Partnership. There can be no assurance that any hedging transactions will be effective in mitigating
risk in all market conditions or against all types of risk (including unidentified or unanticipated risks or
where the Investment Advisor does not regard the probability of the risk occurring to be sufficiently high
as to justify the cost), thereby resulting in losses to the Partnership. Engaging in hedging transactions
may result in a poorer overall performance for the Partnership than if it had not engaged in any such
hedging transaction, and the investment Advisor may not be able to effectively hedge against, or
accurately anticipate, certain risks that may adversely affect the Partnership's investment portfolio. In
addition, the Partnership's investment portfolio will always be exposed to certain risks that cannot be
fully or effectively hedged, such as credit risk relating both to particular securities and counterparties and
foreign exchange risks. The Partnership will utilize hedging transactions only for those positions
determined by the Investment Advisor in its sole discretion.
Contingent Liabilities on Disposition of investments. In connection with the disposition of an
Investment, the Partnership may be required to make certain representations about the business, financial
affairs and other aspects (such as environmental, property. tax, insurance, and litigation) of such
investment typical of those made in connection with the sale of a business. The Partnership also may be
required to indemnify the purchasers of such Investment to the extent that any such representations are
inaccurate or with respect to certain potential liabilities. These arrangements may result in the incurrence
of contingent liabilities for which the General Partner may establish reserves or escrow accounts. In that
regard, Limited Partners may be required to return amounts distributed to them to fund Partnership
obligations, including indemnity obligations, subject to certain limits set forth in the Partnership
Agreement. Furthermore, under the ELP Law, each Limited Partner that receives a distribution in
violation of the ELP Law will, under certain circumstances, be obligated to contribute such distribution to
the Partnership.
In addition, at the time of disposition for an individual property, a potential buyer may claim that it should
have been afforded the opportunity to purchase the asset or alternatively that such buyer should be
awarded due diligence expenses incurred or statutory damages for misrepresentation relating to
disclosures made, if such buyer is passed over in favor of another as part of the Partnership's efforts to
maximize sale proceeds. Similarly, it may be possible, depending on the laws of the relevant jurisdiction,
for buyers of Partnership assets may later sue the Partnership under various damage theories, including
those sounding in tort, for losses associated with latent defects or other problems not uncovered in due
diligence.
Risks of Acquiring Real Estate Loans and Participations When the Partnership invests in real estate
loans and other real estate-related debt securities or other interests, all or a material portion of such real
estate loans or participation interests therein acquired by the Partnership may be nonperforming at the
time of their acquisition and/or may become nonperforming following their acquisition for a wide variety
of reasons. Such nonperforming real estate loans may require a substantial amount of workout
negotiations and/or restructuring, which may entail, among other things, a substantial reduction in the
interest rate and a substantial writedown of the principal of such loan. However, even if a restructuring
were successfully accomplished, a risk exists that, upon maturity of such real estate loan, replacement
- takeout" financing will not be available. Purchases of participations in real estate loans raise many of
the same risks as investments in real estate loans and also carry risks of illiquidity and lack of control. it
is possible that the General Partner and the Investment Advisor may find it necessary or desirable to

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001917
EFTA00237548
Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts ofInterest
foreclose on collateral securing one or more real estate loans purchased by the Partnership. The
foreclosure process varies jurisdiction by jurisdiction and can be lengthy and expensive. Borrowers often
resist foreclosure actions by asserting numerous claims. counterclaims and defenses against the holder of
a real estate loan, including, without limitation, lender liability claims and defenses, even when such
assertions may have no basis in fact, in an effort to prolong the foreclosure action. In some jurisdictions,
foreclosure actions can take up to several years or more to conclude. During the foreclosure proceedings,
a borrower may have the ability to file for bankruptcy or its equivalent, potentially staying the foreclosure
action and further delaying the foreclosure process. Foreclosure litigation tends to create a negative
public image of the collateral property and may result in disrupting ongoing leasing and management of
the property.
Environmental Risks and Potential Liabilities The Partnership may be exposed to substantial risk of
loss from environmental claims arising from Investments invoking undisclosed or unknown
environmental problems, health or occupational safety matters or problems with inadequate reserves,
insurance or insurance proceeds for such matters that have been previously identified. Under the laws,
rules and regulations of various jurisdictions, an owner of real property may be liable for the costs of
removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances, including asbestos, on or in such
property. Such laws may impose joint and several liability, which can result in a party being obligated to
pay for greater than its share, or even all, of the liability involved. Such liability may also be imposed
without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or
toxic substances and the person bearing liability may incur substantive costs in defending claims of
liability. The cost of any required remediation and the owner's liability therefor as to any property are
generally not limited under such laws and could exceed the value of the property and/or the aggregate
assets of the owner. The presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate contamination
from such substances, may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell the real estate or to borrow funds
using such property as collateral, which could have an adverse effect on the Partnership's return from
such Investment. Environmental claims with respect to a specific Investment may exceed the value of
such Investment, and under certain circumstances, subject the other assets of the Partnership to such
liabilities. In addition. even in cases where the Partnership is indemnified by the seller with respect to an
Investment against liabilities arising out of violations of environmental laws and regulations. there can be
no assurance as to the financial viability of the seller to satisfy such indemnities or the ability of the
Partnership to achieve enforcement of such indemnities. In addition, some environmental laws create a
lien on contaminated property in favor of governments or government agencies for costs they may incur
in connection with the contamination.
The ongoing presence of environmental contamination, pollutants or other hazardous materials on a
property (whether known at the time of acquisition or not) could also result in personal injury (and
associated liability) to persons on the property and persons removing such materials, future or continuing
property damage (which may adversely affect property value) or claims by third panics, including as a
result of exposure to such materials through the spread of contaminants.
In addition, the Partnership's operating costs and performance may be adversely affected by compliance
obligations under environmental protection statutes, rules and regulations relating to Investments of the
Partnership, including additional compliance obligations arising from any change to such statutes, rules
and regulations. Statutes, rules and regulations may also restrict development and use of property.
Certain clean-up actions brought by European, state, country and local agencies and private parties may
also impose obligations in relation to Investments and result in additional costs to the Partnership.
Litigation at the Property Level. The acquisition, ownership and disposition of real properties carry
certain specific litigation risks. Litigation may be commenced with respect to a property acquired by the
Partnership or its subsidiaries in relation to activities that took place prior to the Partnership's acquisition
of such property. In addition, at the time of disposition of an individual property, a potential buyer may

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001918

Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
claim that it should have been afforded the opportunity to purchase the asset or alternatively that such
potential buyer should be awarded due diligence expenses incurred or statutory damages for
misrepresentation relating to disclosure made, if such buyer is passed over in favor of another as part of
the Partnership's efforts to maximize sale proceeds. Similarly, successful buyers may later sue the
Partnership under various damage theories, including those sounding in tort, for losses associated with
latent defects or other problems not uncovered in due diligence.
Availability ofInsurance Against Certain Catastrophic Losses. With respect to properties acquired by
the Partnership, liabilit). fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with insured limits and
policy specifications that the General Partner or Investment Advisor believe arc customary for similar
properties will be maintained. However, certain losses of a catastrophic nature, such as wars, natural
disasters, terrorist attacks or other similar events, may be either uninsurable or, insurable at such high
rates that to maintain such coverage would cause an adverse impact on the related Investments. In
general, losses related to terrorism arc becoming harder and more expensive to insure against. Most
insurers are excluding terrorism coverage from their all-risk policies. In some cases, the insurers are
offering significantly limited coverage against terrorist acts for additional premiums, which can greatly
increase the total costs of casualty insurance for a property. As a result, not all Investments may be
insured against terrorism. If a major uninsured loss occurs, the Partnership could lose both invested
capital in and anticipated profits from the affected Investments.
Provision of Managerial Assistance. The General Partner will use reasonable best efforts to avoid
having the assets of the Partnership constitute "plan assets" of any plan subject to Title I of ERISA (as
defined below) or Section 4975 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code') and
may, in this regard, elect to operate the Partnership as a "venture capital operating company" ("VCOC")
or a "real estate operating company" ("REOC") each within the meaning of regulations promulgated
under ERISA. Operating the Partnership as a VCOC would require that the Partnership obtain rights to
substantially participate in or influence the conduct of the management of a number of the Partnership's
Investments. In the case of Investments in portfolio companies, the Partnership may designate a director
to serve on the board of directors of one or more portfolio companies as to which it obtains such rights.
The designation of directors and other measures contemplated could expose the assets of the Partnership
to claims by a portfolio company, its security holders and its creditors. While the General Partner intends
to minimize exposure to these risks, the possibility of successful claims cannot be precluded.
ERISA Considerations. Because the General Partner may operate the Partnership in a manner intended
to qualify the Partnership as a VCOC or REOC in order to avoid holding "plan assets" within the
meaning of ERISA, the Partnership may be restricted or precluded from making certain Investments. In
addition, such operation could require the General Partner to liquidate Investments at a disadvantageous
time, resulting in lower proceeds to the Partnership than might have been the case without the need for
such compliance.
Risk Arising from Potential Control Group Liability. Under ERISA, upon the termination of a tax-
qualified single employer defined benefit pension plan, the sponsoring employer and all members of its
"controlled group" will be jointly and severally liable for 100% of the plan's unfunded benefit liabilities
whether or not the controlled group members have ever maintained or participated in the plan. In addition,
the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC") may assert a lien with respect to such liability
against any member of the controlled group on up to 30% of the collective net worth of all members of
the controlled group. Similarly, in the event a participating employer partially or completely withdraws
from a multiemployer (union) defined benefit pension plan, any withdrawal liability incurred under
ERISA will represent a joint and several liability of the withdrawing employer and each member of its
controlled group.

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001919

Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
A -controlled group" includes all "trades or businesses" under 80% or greater common ownership. This
common ownership test is broadly applied to include both "parent-subsidiary groups" and "brother-sister
groups" applying complex exclusion and constructive ownership rules. However, regardless of the
percentage ownership that the Partnership holds in one or more of its portfolio companies, the Partnership
itself cannot be considered part of an ERISA controlled group unless the Partnership is considered to be a
"trade or business".
While there am a number of cases that have held that managing investments is not a "trade or business"
for tax purposes, in 2007 the PBGC Appeals Board ruled that a private equity fund was a "trade or
business" for ERISA controlled group liability purposes and at least one Federal Circuit Court has
similarly concluded that a private equity fund could be a trade or business for these purposes based upon a
number of factors including the fund's level of involvement in the management of its portfolio companies
and the nature of any management fee arrangements.
If the Partnership were determined to be a trade or business for purposes of ERISA, it is possible.
depending upon the structure of the investment by the Partnership and/or its affiliates and other co-
investors in a portfolio company and their respective ownership interests in the portfolio company, that
any tax-qualified single employer defined benefit pension plan liabilities and/or multiemployer plan
withdrawal liabilities incurred by the portfolio company could result in liability being incurred by the
Partnership, with a resulting need for additional capital contributions, the appropriation of Partnership
assets to satisfy such pension liabilities and/or the imposition of a lien by the PBGC on certain
Partnership assets. Moreover, regardless of %%tether or not the Partnership were determined to be a trade
or business for purposes of ERISA, a court might hold that one of the Partnership's portfolio companies
could become jointly and severally liable for another portfolio company's unfimded pension liabilities
pursuant to the ERISA "controlled group" rules, depending upon the relevant investment structures and
ownership interests as noted above.
Investments Longer Than Term. The Partnership may make Investments which may not be
advantageously disposed of prior to the date that the Partnership will be dissolved, either by expiration of
the Partnership's term or otherwise. Although the General Partner expects that Investments will either be
disposed of prior to dissolution or be suitable for in-kind distribution at dissolution, the Partnership may
have to sell, distribute or otherwise dispose of Investments at a disadvantageous time as a result of
dissolution.
Financial Market andInterest Rate Fluctuations General fluctuations in the financial markets, market
prices of securities and/or interest rates may adversely affect the value of the Partnership's Investments
and/or increase the risks inherent in the Partnership's Investments. The ability of companies, businesses,
projects or assets in which the Partnership holds investments to refinance debt securities may depend on
their ability to obtain financing, including by selling new securities in the high-yield debt or bank
financing markets, which in recent months have been extraordinarily difficult to access at favorable rates.
The precarious state of global credit markets, coupled with the threat of a double-dip recession and the
attendant uncertainty for financial services companies and in the global financial system generally, may
make it significantly more difficult than had been in the recent past for financial sponsors like Blackstone
to obtain favorable financing terms for its investments. Any deterioration of the global debt markets, any
possible future failures of certain financial services companies and a significant rise in market perception
of counterparty default risk will likely significantly reduce investor demand and liquidity for investment
grade, high-yield and senior bank debt. which in turn is likely to lead some investment banks and other
lenders to be unwilling or significantly less willing to finance new investments or to only offer committed
financing for investments on less favorable terms than had been prevailing in the recent past. The
Partnership's ability to generate attractive investment returns may be adversely affected to the extent the
Partnership is unable to obtain favorable financing terms for its Investments. The lethargic state of global
credit markets (in particular, in Europe), ma' make it difficult for financial sponsors to obtain favorable
PR305378-MAXWELL_
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 73
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001920
EFTA00237551
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
financing terms for its investments. Any deterioration of the global debt markets (particularly the
European debt markets), any possible future failures of European financial services companies and/or
increases in market perception of counterparty default risk, interest rates and/or taxes may adversely
affect the Partnership's ability to generate attractive risk-adjusted investment returns. In addition, lenders
have tightened their loan underwriting standards, which has reduced the availability of credit to
prospective borrowers. This has contributed, and may continue to contribute, to a weakening in the
commercial real estate market as these adjustments have, among other things, inhibited refinancing and
reduced the number of potential buyers of commercial real estate. In the event that the Partnership is
unable to obtain committed debt financing for potential acquisitions or can only obtain debt at an
increased interest rate or on unfavorable terms, the Partnership may have difficulty completing otherwise
profitable acquisitions or may generate profits that are lower than would otherwise be the case, either of
which could lead to a decrease in the investment income earned. Similarly, the BREP Funds' portfolio
companies historically have regularly utilized the corporate debt markets in order to obtain financing for
their operations. The continued market turmoil, as well as a perceived increase in counterparty default
risk, may have an adverse impact on the availability of credit to businesses generally and has led to an
overall weakening of the EU and global economies, which in turn may adversely affect or restrict the
ability of the Partnership to sell or liquidate investments at favorable times or at favorable prices or which
otherwise may have an adverse impact on the business and operations of the Partnership.
Enhanced Scrutiny and Potential Regulation of the Private Investment Fund Industry and the
Financial Services Industry. The Partnership's ability to achieve its investment objectives, as well as the
ability of the Partnership to conduct its operations, is based on laws and regulations which are subject to
change through legislative, judicial or administrative action. Future legislative, judicial or administrative
action could adversely affect the Partnership's ability to achieve its investment objectives, as well as the
ability of the Partnership to conduct its operations.
There continues to be significant discussion regarding enhancing governmental scrutiny and/or increasing
the regulation of the private equity industry. On July 21, 2010, the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") was signed into law. A key feature of the Dodd-
Frank Act is the extension of prudential regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the "Federal Reserve") to financial institutions that are not currently subject to such regulation
but that potentially pose risk to the financial system. The Dodd-Frank Act defines a "nonbank financial
company" as a company that is substantially engaged in activities that are financial in nature. The
Financial Stability Oversight Council (the "FSOC"). an interagency body created to monitor and address
systemic risk, has the authority to designate such a company to regulation by the Federal Reserve
(including capital, leverage and liquidity requirements) if the FSOC determines that such company is
systemically important. The Dodd-Frank Act does not contain any minimum size requirements for such a
designation, and it is possible that it could be applied to private funds, particularly large. highly leveraged
funds. On December 18, 2014, the FSOC released a notice seeking public comment on the potential risks
posed by aspects of the asset management industry, including whether asset management products and
activities may pose potential risks to the U.S. financial system in the areas of liquidity and redemptions,
leverage, operational functions, and resolution, or in other areas. Similarly, in Europe, the Financial
Stability Board has recommended strengthening oversight and regulation of the so-called "shadow
banking" system, broadly described as credit intermediation involving entities and activities outside the
regular banking system. While at this stage it is difficult to predict the scope of any new regulations, if
during the Partnership's Investment Period regulations were to extend the regulatory and supervisory
requirements, such as capital and liquidity standards currently applicable to banks, or the Partnership were
considered to be engaged in "shadow banking." either in Europe, the United States or in any other
jurisdiction in which the Partnership engages in investment activities, the regulatory and operating costs
associates therewith could adversely impact the implementation of the Partnership's investment strategy
and the Partnership's returns and may become prohibitive.

Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofinterest
The Dodd-Frank Act also imposes a number of restrictions on the relationship and activities of banking
organizations with private equity funds and hedge funds and other provisions that will affect the private
equity industry, either directly or indirectly. Included in the Dodd-Frank Act is the so-called -Volcker
Rule," which takes the form of new Section 13 of the U.S. Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. Among
other things, the Volcker Rule prohibits any "banking entity"' (generally defined as any insured depository
institution, any company that controls such an institution, a non-U.S. bank that is treated as a bank
holding company for purposes of U.S. banking law, and any affiliate or subsidiary of the foregoing
entities), as principal, from sponsoring or acquiring or retaining an ownership interest in a private equity
fund or hedge fund that is not subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act (as defined below) in reliance
upon either Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(cX7) of the 1940 Act. The Volcker Rule also requires certain
nonbank financial companies that have been designated as systemically important by the FSOC and
subject to supervision by the Federal Reserve (as discussed above) to comply with additional capital
requirements and comply with certain other quantitative limits on such activities, although such entities
are not expressly prohibited from engaging in proprietary trading or sponsoring or investing in such
funds. The Volcker Rule became effective as a matter of statute on July 21, 2012, but banking entities had
a so-called "conformance period," which ran until July 21, 2015, to wind down, sell, transfer or otherwise
conform their investments and activities to the Volcker Rule, absent an extension by the Federal Reserve
or an exemption for certain -permitted activities." On December 10, 2013, the Federal Reserve and other
federal regulatory agencies issued final rules implementing the principal components of the Volcker Rule.
Prospective investors in the Partnership that are banking entities should consult their bank regulatory
counsel prior to making an investment. The Dodd-Frank Act, as well as future related legislation, may
have an adverse effect on the private equity industry generally and/or on Blackstone or the Partnership,
specifically. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any continued regulatory scrutiny or initiatives
will not have an adverse impact on Blackstone or otherwise impede the Partnership's activities.
While the Investment Advisor is currently registered under the Advisers Act (as defined below), the
enactment of these reforms and/or other similar legislation could nonetheless have an adverse effect on
the private investment funds industry generally and on Blackstone and/or the Partnership specifically. and
may impede the Partnership's ability to effectively achieve its investment objectives.
As a registered investment adviser under the Advisers Act, the Investment Advisor and its affiliates are
required to comply with a variety of periodic reporting and compliance-related obligations under
applicable federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the obligation of the Investment
Advisor and its affiliates to make regulatory filings with respect to the Partnership and its activities under
the Advisers Act (including, without limitation, Form PF and Form ADV)). In addition, the Investment
Advisor is required to comply with a variety of regulatory reporting and compliance-related obligations
under applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws (including, without Iimitation, reports or notices
in connection with the AIFMD and/or CFTC (as defined below) as well as other intemational jurisdiction-
specific obligations)). In light of the heightened regulatory environment in which the Partnership and the
Investment Advisor operate and the ever-increasing regulations applicable to private investment funds
and their investment advisors, it has become increasingly expensive and time-consuming for the
Partnership, the Investment Advisor and their affiliates to comply with such regulatory reporting and
compliance-related obligations. The Partnership will be required to bear the Partnership's expenses
relating to compliance-related matters and regulatory filings, which are likely to be material, including on
a cumulative basis over the life of the Partnership. For example, Form PF requires that the Investment
Advisor report the regulatory assets under management of the Partnership, and because the Partnership
will be required to bear the Partnership's expenses relating to compliance-related matters and regulatory
filings, the Partnership will bear the pro ram costs and expenses of initial and ongoing Form PF
compliance, including costs and expenses of collecting and calculating data and the preparation of such
reports and filings). Certain of these expenses are likely to be material, including on a cumulative basis
over the life of the Partnership. Any further increases in the regulations applicable to private investment
funds generally or the Partnership and/or the Investment Advisor in particular may result in increased
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 75
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001922
EFTA00237553
Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts ofInterest
expenses associated with the Partnership's activities and additional resources of the Investment Advisor
being devoted to such regulatory reporting and compliance-related obligations, which may reduce overall
returns for the Limited Partners and/or have an adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to
effectively achieve its investment objective.
Furthermore, various federal, state and local agencies have been examining the role of placement agents,
finders and other similar service providers in the context of investment by public pension plans and other
similar entities, including investigations and requests for information, and in connection therewith, new
and/or proposed rules and regulations in this arena may increase the possibility that the General Partner
and its affiliates may be exposed to claims and/or actions that could require a Limited Partner to withdraw
from the Partnership. As a related matter, Blackstone may be required to provide certain information
regarding some of the Limited Partners to regulatory agencies and bodies in order to comply with
applicable laws and regulations including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. In addition, as a
publicly-traded global alternative asset manager whose broad range of businesses includes the
management of direct and secondary private equity funds, hedge funds, real estate funds, credit-oriented
funds, mutual funds, and other private investment funds, Blackstone is from time to time subject to
litigation and claims relating to its businesses, as well as governmental and/or regulatory inquiries,
investigations and/or proceedings. Blackstone is subject to extensive regulation, including periodic
examinations, by governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in the jurisdictions in which it
operates around the world. These authorities have regulatory powers dealing with many aspects of
financial services, including the authority to grant, and in specific circumstances to cancel, permissions to
carry on particular activities. Many of these regulators, including U.S. and foreign government agencies
and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the United States, are also
empowered to conduct investigations and administrative proceedings that can result in fines, suspensions
of personnel, changes in policies, procedures or disclosure or other sanctions, including censure, the
issuance of cease-and-desist orders, the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer or investment adviser
from registration or memberships or the commencement of a civil or criminal lawsuit against Blackstone
or its personnel. Moreover, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has specifically
focused on private equity. In that connection, the SEC's list of examination priorities includes, among
other things, private equity firms' collection of fees and allocation of expenses, their marketing and
valuation practices, allocation of investment opportunities and other conflicts of interests. Blackstone is
regularly subject to requests for information and informal or formal investigations by the SEC and other
regulatory authorities, with which Blackstone routinely cooperates and, in the current environment, even
historical practices that have been previously examined are being revisited. Even if an investigation or
proceeding did not result in a sanction or the sanction imposed against Blackstone or its personnel by a
regulator were small in monetary amount, the adverse publicity relating to the investigation, proceeding
or imposition of these sanctions could harm Blackstone and the Partnership. While it is difficult to
predict what impact, if any, the foregoing may have, there can be no assurance that any of the foregoing,
whether applicable to Blackstone specifically or the underlying private equity funds in which Blackstone
invests generally, would not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership and its ability to achieve its
investment objectives.
As a result, them can be no assurance that any of the foregoing will not have an adverse impact on
Blackstone or otherwise impede the Partnership's ability to effectively achieve its investment objectives.
Registration under the US Commodity Exchange Act. Registration of the General Partner with the U.S.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC", as a "commodity pool operator" or any change in
the Partnership's operations necessary to maintain the General Partner's ability to rely upon the
exemption from registration as described in Section VI- - Regulatory. Tax and ERISA Considerations—
U.S. Commodity Exchange Act" could adversely affect the Partnership's ability to implement its
investment program, conduct its operations and/or achieve its objectives and subject the Partnership to
certain additional costs, expenses and administrative burdens. Furthermore, any determination by the
ER305378-MAXWELL

EFTA00237554
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
General Partner to cease or to limit holding or investing in interests which may be treated as "commodity
interests" in order to comply with the regulations of the CFTC may have a material adverse effect on the
Partnership's ability to implement its investment objectives and to hedge risks associated with its
operations.
Compliance with the AIFM Directive. The European Union Alternative Investment Fund Managers
Directive (the "Directive"), as transposed into national law within the member states of the EU, imposes
requirements on non-EU alternative investment fund managers ("AIFM") which market alternative
investment funds ("AIF') to professional investors within the EU.
In particular. the Directive requires suitable cooperation agreements to be in place as between the
relevant regulators of the Cayman Islands and each EU member state in which interests in the Partnership
arc being marketed, the absence of which will potentially restrict the ability of the General Partner to offer
interests in the Partnership to investors in the such EU member states and may therefore limit the General
Partner's ability to attract investors based in the EU and lead to a reduction in the overall amount of
capital invested in the Partnership. This may, in turn, have an adverse impact upon the operations of the
Partnership, including the range of investment strategies that the Partnership is able to pursue. The
Directive may also impose additional disclosure and reporting requirements in relation to the Partnership
and its investments, compliance with which may involve additional costs, as well as restrictions on early
distributions or reductions in capital in respect of EU portfolio companies (the so-called "asset stripping"
rules) which may result in additional costs and may limit the use of certain investment and realization
strategies (such as dividend recapitalization and reorganizations) which do not apply to non-AIF/AIFM
competitors not subject to the Directive, thereby potentially placing the Partnership at a disadvantage to
such competitors. In parallel, certain member states of the EU have changed their domestic private
placement rules, which restrict the ability of the General Partner in similar ways and/or impose additional
disclosure, reporting and operational requirements in relation to the Partnership. More generally,
implementation of the Directive could expose the General Partner, the Investment Advisor and/or the
Partnership to conflicting regulatory requirements in the Cayman Islands and the EU and its member
states.
In the future, it may be possible for non-EU AlFMs to market an AIF within the EU pursuant to a pan-
European marketing "passport" instead of under national private placement regimes, provided that the
AIFM complies with all relevant provisions of the Directive including, among other things, rules relating
to the remuneration of certain personnel, minimum regulatory capital requirements, restrictions on use of
leverage, additional disclosure and reporting requirements to both investors and EU home state regulators,
the independent valuation of an AIF's assets and the appointment of legal representatives and an
independent depository to hold assets. As a result, the Directive could in the future have other adverse
effects in relation to the Partnership and the Investment Advisor's business by, among other things,
increasing the regulatory burden and costs of operating and managing the Partnership and its Investments,
and potentially requiring changes to compensation structures for key personnel, thereby affecting the
Investment Advisor's ability to recruit and retain these personnel.
It should be noted that the final scope and requirements of the Directive remain uncertain, and arc subject
to change as a result of the issuance of any further national and/or EU guidance with respect to the
Directive, the enactment of further EU secondary legislation and/or the introduction of further national
implementing legislation in relevant EU member states. It should also be noted that, despite the deadline
for the transposition of the Directive into national law within the member states of the EU having passed,
a small number of member states of the EU have yet to fully implement the Directive into national law
and as a result there is significant uncertainty as to the rules for the offering of interests in the Partnership
to investors in such EU member states during the intervening period between the scheduled date for
implementation of the Directive (i.e., 22 July 2013) and the actual implementation of the Directive into
national law by such member states. Such uncertainty may restrict the ability of the General Partner to
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 77
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001924
EFTA00237555
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
offer interests in the Partnership to investors in such EU member states with consequences similar to
those described above, as well as affect the General Partner's ability to comply with the rules for the
offering of interests in such EU member states during any such intervening period.
The Partnership will bear the costs and expenses of compliance with the Directive and any related
regulations, including, for example, costs and expenses of collecting and calculating data, the
appointment of depositaries and/or custodians and the preparation of any notices, filings, periodic reports
and/or other materials as may be required in relation to any European Economic Area member states.
Reliance on Portfolio Company Management. In many instances, the day-to-day operations of each
Investment will be the responsibility of the Investment's management team. Although the General
Partner and/or the Investment Advisor will be responsible for monitoring the performance of each
Investment and intends to invest in companies operated by strong management, them can be no assurance
that the existing management team, or any successor, will be able to operate the portfolio companies in
accordance with the Partnership's plans. Additionally, portfolio companies need to attract, retain and
develop executives and members of their management teams. The market for executive talent can be,
notwithstanding general unemployment levels or developments within a particular industry, extremely
competitive. There can be no assurance that portfolio companies will be able to attract, develop, integrate
and retain suitable members of its management team and, as a result, such Investment and the Partnership
may be adversely affected thereby.
In addition to the use of the services of operating partners as further described below under "—Service
Providers," it is expected that the Partnership will participate in Investments that will then engage
operating platforms owned by Other Blackstone Funds for services, including but not limited to property
management, leasing oversight, corporate services, and construction management. Participating in
Investments that engage operating platforms that are owned by Other Blackstone Funds will subject the
Partnership to certain risks and conflicts. For example, a counterpart), or other unaffiliated participant
may require facing only one fund entity (or group of entities) that owns a Portfolio Vehicle, which may
result in (i) if the Partnership is a direct counterparty to a transaction, the Partnership being solely liable
with respect to its own as well as Other Blackstone Funds' shares of any applicable obligations, (ii)
having a contribution obligation to the relevant Other Blackstone Funds in the event that the Partnership
is not a direct counterparty to a transaction and/or (iii) the Partnership being jointly and severally liable
with such Other Blackstone Funds for the full amount of such applicable obligation, in each case which
may result in the Partnership and such Other Blackstone Funds entering into a back-to-back or other
similar reimbursement agreement. In such situations it is not expected that any of the Partnership and
such Other Blackstone Funds would be compensated (or provide compensation to the other) for agreeing
to be primarily liable vis-a-vis such third party counterparty. Moreover, in connection with the
divestment of all or part of an operating platform (e.g., an initial public offering of the portfolio
companies comprising such operating platform). Blackstone will seek to track the ownership interests,
liabilities and obligations of the Partnership and such Other Blackstone Funds to the respective portfolio
companies comprising such operating platform, but it is possible that the Partnership and such Other
Blackstone Funds may incur shared or crossed liabilities. Furthermore, depending on various factors
including the relative assets, expiration dates, investment objectives and return profiles of each of the
Partnership and such Other Blackstone Funds, it is possible that one or more of them will have greater
exposure to legal claims and that they will have conflicting goals with respect to the price, timing and
manner of disposition opportunities.
Risks Relating to Due Diligence ofand Conduct at Portfolio Companies Before making Investments,
the General Partner and/or the Investment Advisor will conduct due diligence that they deem reasonable
and appropriate based on the facts and circumstances applicable to each Investment. Due diligence may
entail evaluation of important and complex business, financial, tax, accounting, environmental, social,
governance and legal issues. When conducting due diligence and making an assessment regarding an
Investment, the General Partner and/or the Investment Advisor will rely on the resources available to it,
ER305378-MAXWELL
78 Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001925
EFTA00237556
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
including information provided by the target of the Investment and, in some circumstances, third-party
investigations. The due diligence investigation that the General Partner and/or the Investment Advisor
carries out with respect to any investment opportunity may not reveal or highlight all relevant facts that
may be necessary or helpful in evaluating such investment opportunity. Moreover, such an investigation
will not necessarily result in the Investment being successful. Conduct occurring at portfolio companies,
even activities that occurred prior to the Partnership's investment therein, could have an adverse impact
on the Partnership. For example, the European Commission recently held that certain private fund
entities associated with a financial sponsor that were owners of a former portfolio company that was
found to have participated in anticompetitive cartel activities were liable for the underlying conduct on
the basis that such funds had exercised decisive influence over the former portfolio company. This
precedent illustrates the risk that even if private equity funds am only involved in the high level strategy
and commercial policy of their portfolio companies, it does not exclude them from liability in the context
of courts and/or regulators.
Consultants, legal advisors, appraisers, accountants, investment banks and other third parties may be
involved in the due diligence process and/or the ongoing operation of the Partnership's portfolio
companies to varying degrees depending on the type of investment. For example, certain asset
management and finance functions, such as data entry relating to a portfolio company, may be outsourced
to a third party service provider whose fees and expenses will be borne by such portfolio company or the
Partnership. Such involvement of third party advisors or consultants may present a number of risks
primarily relating to the General Partner's reduced control of the functions that are outsourced. In
addition, if the General Partner and/or Investment Advisor are unable to timely engage third-party
providers, their ability to evaluate and acquire more complex targets could be adversely affected. (See
also "—Portfolio Company Relationships" below).
Risks in Effecting Operating Improvements. In some cases, the success of the Partnership's investment
strategy will depend, in part, on the ability of the Partnership to restructure and effect improvements in
the operations of a portfolio company. The activity of identifying and implementing restructuring
programs and operating improvements at portfolio companies entails a high degree of uncertainty. There
can be no assurance that the Partnership will be able to successfully identify and implement such
restructuring programs and improvements.
Uncertainty of Financial Projections. The General Partner will generally establish the capital structure
of portfolio companies on the basis of financial projections for such portfolio companies. Projected
operating results will often be based on management judgments. In all cases, projections am only
estimates of future results that am based upon assumptions made at the time that the projections am
developed. There can be no assurance that the projected results will be obtained, and actual results may
vary significantly from the projections. General economic conditions, which are not predictable, can have
a material adverse impact on the reliability of such projections.
Absence of Regulatory Oversight. Notwithstanding that the Investment Advisor is registered as an
investment adviser under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended from time to time (the
"Advisers Act") and the Partnership may be considered similar in some ways to an investment company,
the Partnership is not required and does not intend to register under the U.S. Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and, accordingly, Limited Partners are not afforded
the protections of the 1940 Act.
Indemnification. The Partnership will be required to indemnify the General Partner, the Investment
Advisor, their affiliates, and each of their respective members, officers, directors, employees, agents,
partners. and certain other persons who serve at the request of the General Partner or the Investment
Advisor on behalf of the Partnership for liabilities incurred in connection with the affairs of the
Partnership. (See Section II: "Summary Terms of the Partnership—Limitation of Liability;
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 79
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001926
EFTA00237557
Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts ofInterest
Indemnification.") Members of the M. Advisory Committee will also be entitled to the benefit of certain
indemnification and exculpation provisions as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Such liabilities
may be material and have an adverse effect on the returns of the Limited Partners. For example. in their
capacity as directors of portfolio companies, the partners, managers, or affiliates of the General Partner
may be subject to dent ative or other similar claims brought by security holders of such companies. The
indemnification obligation of the Partnership would be payable from the assets of the Partnership,
including the unpaid Capital Commitments of the Limited Partners. If the assets of the Partnership arc
insufficient, the General Partner may recall distributions previously made to the Limited Partners, subject
to certain limitations set forth in the Partnership Agreement. It should be noted that the General Partner
may cause the Partnership to purchase insurance for the Partnership, the General Partner, the Investment
Advisor and their employees, agents and representatives. In addition, because the General Partner may
cause the Partnership to advance the costs and expenses of an indemnitee pending the outcome of the
particular matter (including determination as to whether or not the person was entitled to indemnification
or engaged in conduct that negated such person's entitlement to indemnification), there may be periods
where the Partnership is advancing expenses to an individual or entity with whom the Partnership is not
aligned or is otherwise an adverse party in a dispute. Moreover, in its capacity as General Partner of the
Partnership, the General Partner will, notwithstanding any actual or perceived conflict of interest, be the
beneficiary of any decision by it to provide indemnification (including advancement of expenses). This
may be the case even with respect to settlement of actions where any indemnitee was alleged to have
engaged in conduct that disqualifies any such person from indemnification of exculpation so long as the
General Partner (and/or its legal counsel) have determined that such disqualifying conduct did not occur.
Partnership Expenses. The Partnership will pay and bear all expenses related to its operations. The
amount of these partnership expenses will be substantial and will reduce the actual returns realized by
Limited Partners on their investment in the Partnership (and will reduce the amount of capital available to
be deployed by the Partnership in investments). Partnership expenses include recurring and regular items,
as well as extraordinary expenses %r which it may be hard to budget or forecast. As a result, the amount
of partnership expenses ultimately called or called at any one time may exceed expectations. As
described further in the Partnership Agreement, partnership expenses encompass a broad range of
expenses and include all expenses of operating the Partnership and its related entities, including, for
example, any entities used directly or indirectly to acquire, hold, or dispose of any one or more
Investment(s) or otherwise facilitating the Partnership's investment activities. Although the costs and
expenses of forming and organizing the Partnership are separately categorized and subject to a limit under
the Partnership Agreement, ongoing partnership expenses to be borne by the Partners and not classified as
organizational expenses include costs that relate to organizational matters, such as travel and related
expenses of the Investment Advisor or the General Partner, legal, audit and filing fees, capital raising and
investor-related services and other similar costs and costs and expenses of administering side letters
entered into with Limited Partners (including the process of distributing and implementing applicable
elections pursuant to any "most-favored-nations" clauses in side letters). Partnership expenses also
include, among other things, expenses related to compliance-related matters and regulatory filings
(including, without limitation, regulatory filings of the Investment Advisor and its affiliates relating to the
Partnership and its activities, including reporting on Form PF or other reports to be filed in connection
with the requirements of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and reports, disclosures,
filings and notifications prepared, and service providers appointed, in connection with the laws, rules,
regulations or similar requirements of jurisdictions in which the Partnership engages in activities (or in
which any prospective Limited Partner is resident or established), including any notices, reports, and/or
filings (including those in connection ss ith the offering of interests) in accordance with the Directive and
any related regulations, expenses and fees charged or specifically attributed or allocated by the
Investment Advisor or its affiliates to provide administrative services to the Partnership (including
overhead related thereto), and expenses, charges and/or related costs incurred by the Partnership, the
Investment Advisor or its affiliates in connection with such provision of administrative services to the

costs shall not be greater than what would be paid to an unaffiliated third party for substantially similar
services, accounting expenses, reporting related expenses, including preparation of financial statements.
tax returns, K-Is and other communications or notices relating to the Partnership, and related costs and
fees, costs and expenses related to the organization or maintenance of any entity used to acquire, hold or
dispose of any investment or otherwise facilitating the Partnership's investment activities (including
without limitation travel and related expenses related to such entity and the salary and benefits of any
personnel (including personnel of the Investment Advisor or its affiliates) reasonably necessary and/or
advisable for the maintenance and operation of such entity), including overhead expenses in connection
therewith. Expenses to be borne by the General Partner and/or the Investment Advisor are limited only to
those items specifically enumerated in the Partnership Agreement (such as rent for office space, office
furniture and salaries of its employees), and all other costs and expenses in operating the Partnership will
be borne directly or indirectly by the Limited Partners. Expenses associated with the investigation,
negotiation, structuring, acquisition, holding, monitoring and disposition of Investments, including,
without limitation, any brokerage, custody or hedging costs and travel and entertainment expenses in
connection with the Partnership's investment activities will be borne by the Partnership (and indirectly by
the Limited Partners). Similar expenses incurred in connection with organization and offering of interests
in the Partnership will be part of "Organizational Expenses" that arc to be borne by the Limited Partners,
subject to the limits set forth in the Partnership Agreement. To the extent not reimbursed by a third party,
all third-party expenses incurred in connection with a proposed Investment that is not ultimately made or
a proposed disposition that is not actually consummated, including legal, tax, accounting, travel and
entertainment, advisory, consulting and printing expenses and any liquidated damages, reverse
termination fees or similar pa)ments will be borne by the Partnership (and allocated pro rata to all
Partners, without taking into account any applicable excuse or exclusion rights of any Limited Partner).
From time to time, the General Partner will be required to decide whether costs and expenses are to be
borne by the Partnership, on the one hand, or the General Partner and the Investment Advisor, on the
other, and/or whether certain costs and expenses should be allocated between or among the Partnership,
on the one hand, and Blackstone's other investment funds and collective investment vehicles (including
vehicles in existence as of the date hereof and those that may be formed in the future, collectively, "Other
Blackstone Funds"), on the other. Certain expenses may be suitable for only the Partnership, a particular
Parallel Fund or participating Other Blackstone Fund and borne only by such fund, or, as is more often
the case, expenses may be allocated among each participating Other Blackstone Fund and the Partnership
and all Parallel Funds even if the expenses relate only to particular vehicle(s) and/or investor(s) therein.
The General Partner will make such allocation judgments in its fair and reasonable discretion,
notwithstanding its interest in the outcomc, and may make corrective allocations should it determine that
such corrections are necessary• or advisable. Travel, entertainment and related expenses described herein
include, without limitation, first class and/or business class airfare (and/or private charter, where
appropriate), first class lodging, ground transportation, travel and premium meals (including, as
applicable, closing dinners and mementos, cars and meals (outside normal business hours), and social and
entertainment events with portfolio entity management, customers, clients, borrowers, brokers and service
providers).
Capital Calls. Capital calls will be issued by the General Partner from time to time at the discretion of
the General Partner, based upon the General Partner's assessment of the needs and opportunities of the
Partnership. To satisfy such capital calls, Limited Partners may need to maintain a substantial portion of
their Capital Commitment in assets that can be readily converted to cash. Except as specifically set forth
in the Partnership Agreement, each Limited Partner's obligation to satisfy capital calls will be
unconditional. A Limited Partner's obligation to satisfy capital calls will not in any manner be contingent
upon the performance or prospects of the Partnership or upon any assessment thereof provided by the
General Partner. Capital calls may not provide all of the information a Limited Partner desires in a
particular circumstance, and such information may not be made available and will not be a condition
precedent for a Limited Partner to meet its funding obligation. Additionally. and notwithstanding the
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V XI
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001928
EFTA00237559
Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts ofInterest
foregoing, the General Partner will not be obligated to call 100% of the Limited Partner's Capital
Commitment during the Partnership's term. The fees, costs and expenses incurred by Limited Partners in
fulfilling a capital call (whether it is bank fees, wire fees, foreign exchange fees, value-added tax or other
applicable charge imposed on a Limited Partner) will be borne solely by such Limited Partner and will be
in addition to the amounts required by capital calls (and will not be part of or otherwise reduce their
Capital Commitments and/or unused Capital Commitments, as applicable).
Proposed Legislation Adversely Affecting Blackstone Employees and Other Service Providers
Congress has considered proposed legislation that would treat carried interest as ordinary income for U.S.
federal income tax purposes and other proposed legislation that would treat publicly traded partnerships
engaged in certain investment management activities, such as Blackstone, as corporations for such
purposes. Enactment of any such legislation could adversely affect employees or other individuals
performing services for the Partnership who hold direct or indirect interests in the General Partner and
benefit from carried interest, which could make it more difficult for Blackstone to incentivize, attract and
retain individuals to perform services for the Partnership.
Any such developments could thus adversely affect the Partnership's investment returns allocable to the
Limited Partners. It is unclear whether any such proposed legislation will be enacted or if enacted how it
would apply to Blackstone, the General Partner, and any other individuals involved with the Partnership
who benefit from carried interest.
The Partnership is subject to FATCA. As described in Section VI: "Regulatory, Tax, and ERISA
Considerations—Certain Tax Considerations—Certain U.S. Tax Considerations—Certain Federal Income
Tax Legislation," under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"), all entities in a broadly
defined class of foreign financial institutions ("FFIs") must comply with a complicated and expansive
reporting regime or be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax on certain U.S. payments (and beginning in
2019, a 30% U.S. withholding tax on gross proceeds from the sale of U.S. stocks and securities) and non-
U.S. entities that am not FFIs must either certify they have no substantial U.S. beneficial ownership or
report certain information with respect to their substantial U.S. beneficial ownership or be subject to a
30% U.S. withholding tax on certain U.S. payments (and beginning in 2019, a 30% U.S. withholding tax
on gross proceeds from the sale of U.S. stocks and securities). FATCA also contains complex provisions
requiring participating FFIs to withhold on certain "foreign passthru payments" made to nonparticipating
FFIs and to holders that fail to provide the required information. The definition of a "foreign passthru
payment" is still reserved under the current regulations, however the term generally refers to payments
that are from non-U.S. sources but that are "attributable to" certain U.S. payments and gross proceeds
described above. Withholding on these payments is not set to apply until 2019. In general, non-U.S.
investment funds am considered FFIs. The reporting requirements imposed under FATCA require FFIs
to enter into agreements with the IRS to obtain and disclose information about certain investors to the IRS
or, if subject to an intergovernmental agreement (-IGA"), register with the IRS. IGAs am generally
intended to result in the automatic exchange of tax information through reporting by an FF1 to the
government or tax authorities of the country in which such FF1 is domiciled, followed by the automatic
exchange of reported information with the IRS. The General Partner intends any non-U.S. partnership
that constitutes an FF1 would comply, to the extent reasonably practicable, with the reporting
requirements to avoid the imposition of the withholding tax, but if such FFI does not do so (because, for
example, investors fail to provide the required information), certain payments made to any such FFI may
be subject to a withholding tax, which would reduce the cash available to investors. Further, these
reporting requirements may apply to underlying entities in which the Partnership invests, and the
Partnership may not have control over whether such entities comply with the reporting regime. Such
withheld amounts that are allocable to a Limited Partner may, in accordance with the Partnership
Agreement, be deemed to have been distributed to such Limited Partner to the extent the taxes reduce the
amount otherwise distributable to such Limited Partner. Prospective investors should consult their own
tax advisors regarding all aspects of FATCA as it affects their particular circumstances.

EFTA00237560
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts oflnterest
Legal, Tax andRegulatory Risks Legal. tax and regulatory changes could occur during the term of the
Partnership that may adversely affect the Partnership. For example, from time to time the market for
private equity transactions has been adversely affected by a decrease in the availability of senior and
subordinated financing for transactions, in part in response to regulatory pressures on providers of
financing to reduce or eliminate their exposure to such transactions.
The regulatory environment for private investment funds is evolving, and changes in the regulation of
private investment funds may adversely affect the value of investments held by the Partnership and the
ability of the Partnership to effectively employ its investment and trading strategics. Increased scrutiny
and newly proposed legislation applicable to private investment funds and their sponsors may also impose
significant administrative burdens on the Investment Advisor and may divert time and attention from
portfolio management activities. In addition and in particular in light of the changing global regulatory
climate, the Partnership will be required to register under certain foreign laws and regulations, and will
need to engage distributors or other agents in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions in order to market Interests to
potential investors. The effect of any future regulatory change on the Partnership could be substantial and
adverse. In addition, the securities and futures markets are subject to comprehensive statutes, regulations
and margin requirements. The SEC, other regulators and self-regulatory organizations and exchanges are
authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of market emergencies. The regulation of derivatives
transactions and funds that engage in such transactions is an evolving area of law and is subject to
modification by government and judicial action.
Change of Law Risk. In addition to the risks regarding regulatory approvals, it should be noted that
government counterparties or agencies may have the discretion to change or increase regulation of a
portfolio investment's operations, or implement laws or regulations affecting the portfolio investment's
operations, separate from any contractual rights it may have. A portfolio company or project also could
be materially and adversely affected as a result of statutory or regulatory changes or judicial or
administrative interpretations of existing laws and regulations that impose more comprehensive or
stringent requirements on such company. Governments have considerable discretion in implementing
regulations, including, for example, the possible imposition or increase of taxes on income earned by or
from a portfolio company or gains recognized by the Partnership on its investment in such portfolio
company, that could impact a portfolio company's business as well as the Partnership's return on
investment with respect to such portfolio company.
OFAC and FCPA Considerations Economic sanction laws in the United States and other jurisdictions
prohibit Blackstone, Blackstone's professionals and the Partnership from transacting with or in certain
countries and with certain individuals and companies. In the United States, the U.S. Department of the
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC') administers and enforces laws, Executive Orders
and regulations establishing U.S. economic and trade sanctions. Such sanctions prohibit, among other
things. transactions with. and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and
individuals. These entities and individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated
narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs. The lists of
OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities, including the List of Specially Designated
Nationals and Blocked Persons, as such list may be amended from time to time, can be found on the
OFAC website at http://www.treas. gov/ofac. In addition, certain programs administered by OFAC
prohibit dealing with individuals or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or
entities appear on the lists maintained by OFAC. These types of sanctions may significantly restrict the
Partnership's investment activities in certain markets, including those in Europe.
In some countries, there is a greater acceptance than in the United States of government involvement in
commercial activities, and of corruption. Blackstone, the Blackstone professionals and the Partnership
are committed to complying with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), the U.K. Bribery Act
of 2010, and other anti-corruption laws, anti-bribery laws and regulations, as well as anti-boycott
regulations, to which they are subject. As a result, the Partnership may be adversely affected because of
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V X3
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001930
EFTA00237561
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
its unwillingness to participate in transactions that violate such laws or regulations. Such laws and
regulations may make it difficult in certain circumstances for the Partnership to act successfully on
investment opportunities and for Investments to obtain or retain business.
In recent years, the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC have devoted greater resources to
enforcement of the FCPA. In addition, the United Kingdom has recently significantly expanded the reach
of the U.K. Bribery Act, which in some ways is broader in scope than the FCPA and applies to private
and public sector corruption and holds companies liable for failure to prevent bribery unless they have
adequate procedures in place to prevent bribery. While Blackstone has developed and implemented a
stringent compliance program designed to ensure strict compliance by Blackstone and its personnel with
the FCPA and the U.K. Bribery Act, even reasonable compliance programs may not prevent all instances
to prevent violations. In addition, in spite of Blackstone's policies and procedures, affiliates of portfolio
companies, particularly in cases where the Partnership or another Blackstone sponsored fund or vehicle
does not control such portfolio company, and third party consultants, managers and advisors may engage
in activities that could result in FCPA or U.K. Bribery Act violations. Any determination that Blackstone
has violated the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, or other applicable anti-corruption laws or anti-bribery laws
could subject us to, among other things, civil and criminal penalties, material fines, profit disgorgement,
injunctions on future conduct, securities litigation and a general loss of investor confidence, any one of
which could adversely affect Blackstone's business prospects and/or financial position, as well as the
Partnership's ability to achieve its investment objective and/or conduct its operations.
Pay-to-Play Laws, Regulations, and Policies. In light of controversies and highly publicized incidents
involving money managers, a number of states and municipal pension plans have adopted so-called "pay-
to-play' laws, regulations or policies which prohibit, restrict or require disclosure of payments to (and/or
certain contacts with) state officials by individuals and entities seeking to do business with state entities,
including investments by public retirement funds. The SEC also has adopted rules that, among other
things, prohibit an investment adviser from providing advisory services for compensation with respect to
a government plan investor for two years after the adviser or certain of its executives or employees make
a contribution to certain elected officials or candidates. If the Investment Advisor, the General Partner, or
their respective employees or affiliates fail to comply with such pay-to-play laws, regulations or policies,
such non-compliance could have an adverse effect on the Partnership by. for example, providing the basis
for the withdrawal of the affected government plan investor.
Cyber Security Breaches and Identity Theft. Cyber security incidents and cyber-attacics have been
occurring globally at a more frequent and severe level and will likely continue to increase in frequency in
the future. Blackstone's, portfolio companies' and their service providers' information and technology
systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from computer viruses or other malicious code,
network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and
security breaches, usage errors by their respective professionals or service providers, power,
communications or other service outages and catastrophic events such as fires, tomadoes, floods,
hurricanes and earthquakes. If unauthorized parties gain access to such information and technology
systems, they may be able to steal, publish, delete or modify private and sensitive information. Although
Blackstone has implemented, and portfolio companies and service providers may implement, various
measures to manage risks relating to these types of events, such systems could prove to be inadequate
and, if compromised, could become inoperable for extended periods of time, cease to function properly or
fail to adequately secure private information. Breaches such as those involving covertly introduced
malware, impersonation of authorized users and industrial or other espionage may not be identified even
with sophisticated prevention and detection systems, potentially resulting in further harm and preventing
it from being addressed appropriately. The failure of these systems and/or of disaster recovery plans for
any reason could cause significant interruptions in Blackstone's, the Partnership's and/or a portfolio
company's operations and result in a failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of
sensitive data, including personal information relating to Limited Partners (and their beneficial owners)
and the intellectual property and trade secrets of Blackstone and/or portfolio companies. Blackstone, the
ER305378-MAXWELL

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001931

Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofinterest
Partnership and/or a portfolio company could be required to make a significant investment to remedy the
effects of any such failures, harm their reputations, subject them and their respective affiliates to legal
claims and adverse publicity and otherwise affect their business and financial performance.
Placement Agents. One or more parties will act as placement agents (each, a "Placement Agent", and
together, the "Placement Agents") for the Interests and, in that capacity, act for the General Partner and in
such capacity would not act as investment advisers to potential investors in connection with the offering
of the Interests. Potential investors must independently evaluate the offering and make their own
investment decisions. In connection with the foregoing, the General Partner and/or its affiliates may
engage Park Hill, a former affiliate of the General Partner, which is now part of PIT Partners, as a
Placement Agent. (See also "—Other Blackstone Businesses and Activities.") The General Partner
and/or its affiliates will pay each Placement Agent a placement fee based upon the amount of Interests
committed to by investors that each such Placement Agent introduces to the General Partner and each
Limited Partner will bear any placement fees incurred with respect to its investment in the Partnership and
it Management Fees will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Potential investors should also note that
at various times, the Placement Agents can be expected to act as placement agents for other fund sponsors
and funds, including unaffiliated fund sponsors and funds, which may offer interests that are similar to the
Interests and/or otherwise compete with the Partnership for investments. Those unaffiliated sponsors may
pay placement fees on terms different from the fees that the Placement Agents will receive from the
General Partner in connection with this offering, and this difference in fees may influence the Placement
Agents to introduce or not introduce potential investors to the General Partner. Furthermore, certain
Placement Agents may, and other Blackstone affiliates will, seek to do business with and earn fees or
commissions from other investment finds and their portfolio companies and affiliates of the General
Partner. Examples of such business may include, without limitation: provision of financing or other
investment banking services; lending or arranging credit; and provision of prime brokerage. Each
potential investor should consider these issues in making its investment decision.
Possible Exclusion. The General Partner may determine that it is appropriate to exclude one or more
Limited Partners (or categories of Limited Partners) from a particular Investment (or category of
Investments) due to particular tax concerns related thereto or for other regulatory or legal reasons. Subject
to the goal of maximizing overall returns for the Limited Partners, the General Partner will generally seek
to mitigate the circumstances giving rise to such exclusion. If the General Partner later determines that it
is no longer necessary for such Limited Partners to be excluded from such Investment (including, because
the tax, regulatory or legal situation has changed or is no longer in effect), the General Partner may
require or permit the previously excluded Limited Partners to participate in the Investment, including
through the participation thereby in an alternative investment vehicle and/or the acquisition of a portion of
the Investment from Blackstone or an affiliate thereof (subject to certain limitations). However,
Blackstone or any of its affiliates would have no right and would be under no obligation to sell a portion
of the Investment to the Partnership, and the Partnership would have no right and would be under no
obligation to acquire a portion of the Investment. Any later purchase of an Investment from Blackstone or
an affiliate thereof would be at the fair market value of the Investment at the time of the later purchase.
Therefore Limited Partners who were initially excluded from the Investment may participate in the
Investment on different terms (and may not get the benefit of any income from the Investment prior to
their participation).
Side Agreements. The General Partner will enter into side letters or other similar agreements with certain
Limited Partners in connection with their admission to the Partnership as Limited Partners therein without
the approval of any other Limited Partner, which would have the effect of establishing rights under or
altering or supplementing the terms of the Partnership Agreement with respect to such Limited Partners in
a manner more favorable to such Limited Partners than those applicable to other Limited Partners. Such
rights or terms in any such side letter or other similar agreement may include, without limitation, (i)
excuse rights applicable to particular Investments (which may increase the percentage interest of other
Limited Partners in, and contribution obligations of other Limited Partners with respect to, such

Investments), (ii) the General Partner's agreement to extend certain information rights or additional
reporting to such Limited Partner, including, without limitation, to accommodate special regulatory or
other circumstances of such Limited Partner, (iii) waiver or modification of certain confidentiality
obligations and/or documentation that might be requested by the General Partner for the benefit of lenders
or other persons extending credit to or arranging financing for the Partnership, (iv) consent of the General
Partner to certain transfers by such Limited Partner or other exercises by the General Partner of its
discretionary authority under the Partnership Agreement for the benefit of such Limited Partner, (v)
restrictions on, or special rights of such Limited Partner with respect to the activities of the General
Partner. (vi) withdrawal rights (subject to thc consent of the General Partner) due to legal, regulatory or
policy matters, including matters related to political contributions, gifts and other such policies, (vii) other
rights or terms necessary in light of particular legal, regulatory or public policy characteristics of a
Limited Partner, (viii) economic arrangements, (ix) matters regarding such Limited Partner's right to
participate in co-investment opportunities, (x) matters regarding such Limited Parttner'S (or its affiliates')
interest in providing debt financing to the Partnership or its portfolio companies or (xi) additional
obligations, and restrictions of the Partnership with respect to the structuring of any investment (including
with respect to alternative investment vehicles). Such side agreements may permit such Limited Partners
to take actions on the basis of information not available to other Limited Partners that do not have the
benefit of such agreements. Any rights or terms so established in a side letter with a Limited Partner will
govern solely with respect to such Limited Partner (but not any of such Limited Partner's assignees or
transferees unless so specified in such side letter) and will not require the approval of any other Limited
Partner notwithstanding any other provision of the Partnership Agreement. A copy of the applicable
provisions of each side letter (without duplication) that is entered into will be available upon request and
will be distributed in connection with the most-favored-nations side letter election process that will take
place following the final closing. Moreover, notwithstanding the fact that a Limited Partner may have
such a most-favored-nations provision in its side letter, such Limited Partner will not, notwithstanding the
terms of such side letter provision, have the right to elect any rights or benefits: (a) unless such Limited
Partner agrees to be bound by any obligations, restrictions or other terms related to such rights or benefits
that have been agreed to with the investor initially granted such rights or benefits; (b) contained in any
side letter entered into in connection with the admission of an investor and one or more of its affiliates to
thc Partnership and one or more other investment vehicles and/or managed accounts sponsored or advised
by Blackstone pursuing a materially different investment strategy or diversified investment program
pursuant to an integrated overall arrangement with Blackstone, which side letter, for greater certainty,
may remain confidential and not shared with any other investors; (c) that relate to appointing a
representative or non-voting observer to the M. Advisory Committee; (d) established in favor of another
investor by reason of thc fact that such other investor is subject to any laws, rules, regulations or policies
to which the Limited Partner is not also subject, (e) that are personal to another investor based solely on
thc place of organization or headquarters of, organizational form of, or other particular restrictions or
considerations applicable to, such investor and/or (f) granted to an affiliate of Blackstone (including, for
this purpose, any Other Blackstone Fund and/or charity, foundation or endowment or other similar
program (including any related entities, vehicles and/or accounts) associated with Blackstone),
Blackstone's senior advisors, operating partners and/or its current or former employees, partners and
affiliates.
In addition, Blackstone has, and it can be expected that Blackstone in the future will, enter into
agreements with investors involving an investor's overall relationship with Blackstone, including one or
more strategies in addition to the Partnership's strategy with terms and conditions applicable to such
investor and its investment in multiple Blackstone strategies that would not apply to a Limited Partner's
investment in the Partnership. Such an agreement would often involve an investor agreeing to make a
capital commitment to multiple Blackstone funds, one or more of which may include the Partnership.
Limited Partners will not receive a copy of the agreement memorializing such an investment program and
will be unable to elect any rights or benefits granted to such multi-strategy investor. Specific examples of
such additional rights and benefits include (in addition to one or more of the rights listed above)

specialized reporting, discounts on and/or reimbursement of fees and/or carried interest applied to some
or all of the relevant investment program and/or investment vehicles (including, as applicable, the
Partnership), secondment of personnel from the investor to Blackstone (or vice versa), as well as targeted
amounts for co-investments alongside Blackstone funds (including, without limitations, preferential
allocation thereof and the terms and conditions related to such participation (including any carried interest
and/or management fees to be charged with respect thereto)), which may include investments made by the
Partnership. Any such arrangements will result in fewer co-investment opportunities (or reduced
allocations) being made available to Limited Partners.
It is also expected that Blackstone will from time to time confirm factual matters to incoming Limited
Partners, make statements of intent or expectation to such Limited Partners or acknowledge statements by
such incoming Limited Partners that relate to the Partnership and/or Blackstone's activities pertaining
thereto in one or more respects. In addition, Blackstone may from time to time agree to certain matters
relating to knowledge transfer and/or secondments with one or more Limited Partners as part of an overall
fine relationship. Any such statements, confirmations agreements or acknowledgements will not involve
the granting of any legal right or benefit, and therefore will not be subject to the "most favored nations"
process or election by the Limited Partners, and as a result Limited Partners will not typically receive
notice thereof or copies of the documentation (if any) in which they are contained. There can be no
assurance that any such arrangements will not have an adverse effect on the Partnership or that such
arrangements will not influence Blackstone's activities or the operation of the Partnership.
The Partnership ma)' be liable for adjustments to its tax returns as a result of recently enacted
legislation. Legislation was recently enacted that significantly changes the rules for U.S. federal income
tax audits of partnerships. Such audits will continue to be conducted at the partnership level, but with
respect to tax retums for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and, unless a partnership
qualifies for and affirmatively elects an alternative procedure, any adjustments to the amount of tax due
(including interest and penalties) will be payable by the partnership. Under the elective alternative
procedure, a partnership would issue information returns to persons who were partners in the audited
year, who would then be required to take the adjustments into account in calculating their own tax
liability, and the partnership would not be liable for the adjustments. There can be no assurance that the
Partnership will be eligible to make such an election or that it will, in fact, make such an election for any
given adjustment. If the Partnership does not or is not able to make such an election, then (I) the then
current Partners of the Partnership, in the aggregate, could indirectly bear income tax liabilities in excess
of the aggregate amount of taxes that would have been due had the Partnership elected the alternative
procedure, and (2) a given Partners may indirectly bear taxes attributable to income allocable to other
Partners or former Partners, including taxes (as well as interest and penalties) with respect to periods prior
to such Partner's ownership of Interests of the Partnership . Amounts available for distribution to the
Partners of the Partnership may be reduced as result of the Partnership's obligations to pay any taxes
associated with an adjustment. Many issues and the overall effect of this new legislation on the
Partnership are uncertain, and Partners should consult their own tax advisors regarding all aspects of this
legislation as it affects their particular circumstances.
Phantom Income. A Limited Partner that is subject to U.S. tax or subject to tax in other jurisdictions
may be required to take into account its allocated share of all items of partnership income, gain, loss,
deduction and credit, whether or not distributed. Because of the nature of the Partnership's investment
activities, the Partnership may generate taxable income in excess of cash distributions to the Partners and
no assurance can be given that the Partnership will be able to make cash distributions to cover such tax
liabilities as they arise. Accordingly, the Limited Partners should ensure that they have sufficient cash
flow from other sources to pay all tax liabilities resulting from the Limited Partner's ownership of
Interests in the Partnership. See Section VI: "Regulatory, Tax and ERISA Considerations—Certain U.S.
Tax Considerations."

Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
Amendments. The terms of the Partnership Agreement provide that in the case of (x) any consent
(including, without limitation, with respect to any proposed amendments of the Partnership Agreement)
sought by the General Partner or (y) any anticipated "assignment" (within the meaning of Section
202(a)(I) of the Advisers Act) by the General Partner of its Interest or by the Investment Advisor of the
Investment Advisory Agreement, then, as an alternative to obtaining the approval of the M. Advisory
Committee to such assignment on behalf of the Partnership, the General Partner may seek to obtain the
approval of the Combined Limited Partners by way of a "negative consent" right under the Partnership
Agreement. To the extent the General Partner seeks to obtain the approval of the Limited Partners by
way of any such "negative consent," subject to the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement, the
failure of a Limited Partner to respond to a notice seeking a consent to an amendment of the Partnership
Agreement (and any required follow-up notices) will be deemed to be such Limited Partner's consent
with respect thereto. As a result, the failure of a Limited Partner to respond will be counted as an
affirmative consent by such Limited Partner despite the fact that such Limited Partner may have
otherwise desired not to vote in favor of such amendment had it submitted a timely response with respect
to such notice.
FOIA. To the extent that the General Partner determines in good faith that, as a result of the U.S.
Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"), any governmental public records access law, any state or other
jurisdiction's laws similar in intent or effect to FOIA, or any other similar statutory or regulatory
requirement, a Limited Partner or any of its affiliates may be required to disclose information relating to
the Partnership, its affiliates, and/or any entity in which an investment is made (other than certain fund-
level, aggregate performance information described in the Partnership Agreement), which disclosure
could, for example, affect the Partnership's competitive advantage in finding attractive investment
opportunities. The General Partner may, in order to prevent any such potential disclosure, withhold all or
any part of the information otherwise to be provided to such Limited Partner, as more fully described in
the Partnership Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any party seeks the
disclosure of information relating to the Partnership, its affiliates, and/or any entity in which an
investment is made under FOIA or any such similar law, the General Partner may, in its discretion,
initiate legal action and/or otherwise contest such disclosure, which may or may not be successful, and
any expenses incurred therewith will be borne by the Partnership.
Handling of Mail. Mail addressed to the Partnership and received at its registered office will be
forwarded unopened to the forwarding address supplied by the Partnership. None of the Partnership, the
General Partner or any of its or their directors, officers, advisors or service providers (including the
organization which provides registered office services in the Cayman Islands) will bear any responsibility
for any delay howsoever caused in mail reaching the forwarding address.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
Various potential and actual conflicts ofinterest will arise as a result ofthe overall investment activities
of the Partnership. Blackstone. the General Partner, the Investment Advisor and their affiliates. The
following discussion enumerates certain but not all potential conflicts of interest which should be
carefully evaluated before making an investment in the Partnership. Blackstone and Blackstone
personnel may in the .ffiture engage in.ffirther activities that may result in additional conflicts ofinterest
not addressed below. If any matter arises that the General Partner and its affiliates (including the
Investment Advisor) determine in its good faith judgment constitutes an actual conflict of interest. the
General Partner and its affiliates (including the Investment Advisor) may take such actions as they
determine in goodfaith may be necessary or appropriate to ameliorate the conflict (and upon taking such
actions the General Partner and its affiliates (including the Investment Advisor) will be relieved ofany
liability for such conflict to the fi nest extent permitted by law and shall be deemed to have satisfied
applicable fiduciary duties related thereto to the fullest extent permitted by law). These actions may
include, by way ofexample and without limitation, (i) presenting a conflict ofinterest to thee Advisory
ER305378-MAXWELL

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001935

Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
Committee as expressly providedfor in the Partnership Agreement, (ii) disposing of the security giving
rise to the conflict ofinterest; (l11) appointing an independent fiduciary to act with respect to the matter
giving rise to the conflict ofinterest: (iv) in connection with a matter giving rise to a conflict ofinterest
with respect to an investment, consulting with the L.P. Advisory Committee regarding the conflict of
interest and either obtaining a waiver or consent from the L.P. Advisory Committee of the conflict of
interest or acting in a manner, or pursuant to standards or procedures. approved by the Advisory
Committee with respect to such conflict of interest. (19 disclosing the conflict to the Limited Partners
(including, without limitation. In drawdown notices, quarterly letters or other communications). or (vi)
Implementing certain policies andprocedures designed to ameliorate such conflict ofinterest. There can
be no assurance that Blackstone will identify or resolve all conflicts of interest in a manner that is
favorable to the Partnership. By acquiring an Interest in the Partnership, each Limited Partner will be
deemed to have acknowledged and consented to the existence or resolution ofany such actual, apparent
or potential conflicts ofinterest and to have waived any claim with respect to any liability arisingfrom
the existence ofany such conflict ofinterest. Thefollowing briefly summarizes some ofthese conflicts. but
is not intended to be an exclusive list of all such conflicts. Any references to Blackstone. the General
Partner, and the Investment Advisor in this section will be deemed to include their respective affiliates,
partners. members, shareholders. officers, directors and employees. Prospective investors are urged to
review the Investment Advisor's Form ADVfor additional risks and conflicts disclosure.
Performance Allocation. The existence of the General Partner's 20% carried interest may create an
incentive for the General Partner to make more speculative investments on behalf of the Partnership than
it would otherwise make in the absence of such performance-based compensation. Under the terms of the
Partnership Agreement, the General Partner is entitled to elect to receive its carried interest with respect
to an Investment that is otherwise being sold in the form of an in-kind distribution of marketable
securities, including if the purpose is to permit one or more Blackstone personnel to donate such
securities to charity (which may include private foundations, funds or other charities associated with any
such personnel). The tax efficiencies to such Blackstone personnel associated with this form of charitable
giving may have the effect of reinforcing and/or enhancing the General Partner's incentives otherwise
resulting from the existence of its carried interest and therefore conflicts of interest may arise in making
decisions on behalf of the Partnership (including the timing of the disposition of Investments). However,
the significant commitment by Blackstone to invest in Investments, the General Partner clawback (see
Section II: "Summary Terms of the Partnership — General Partner Clawback"), and the fact that the hurdle
rate is calculated on an aggregate basis should tend to reduce the incentive to make more speculative
investments or otherwise time the sale of Investments in a manner motivated by the personal interests of
Blackstone personnel. In connection therewith, the General Partner's clawback obligation may create an
incentive for the General Partner to defer disposition of one or more Investments if such disposition
would result in a realized loss and/or the finalization of dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership
where a clawback obligation would be owed. in addition, upon a withdrawal by a Limited Partner from
the Partnership (in limited circumstances) and upon the liquidation of the Partnership, the General Partner
may receive Carried interest Distributions with respect to a distribution in-kind of non-marketable
securities. The valuation of such securities for such purposes will be determined by the General Partner
as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Allocation of Personnel The General Partner and its affiliates will devote such time as shall be
necessary to conduct the business affairs of the Partnership in an appropriate manner. However,
Blackstone personnel, including certain members of the investment Committee, will work on other
projects and/or Other Blackstone Funds, will serve on other committees and have other responsibilities
throughout Blackstone and/or its portfolio companies, and, therefore, conflicts arc expected to arise in the
allocation of personnel and such personnel's time. This may include BREDS (as defined below), the BPP
Funds (as defined below) or other real estate investment programs now existing or to be developed in the
future. in this regard, however, a group of real estate professionals will devote a majority of their
business time to the activities of the Partnership, the Real Estate Funds, and any successor or predecessor
ER305378-MAXWELL

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001936

Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest
funds thereto (and their respective investments) and their related entities (which may include separate
accounts, dedicated managed accounts and/or investment funds formed for specific geographical areas or
investments). For purposes hereof, "BREDS" shall be deemed to include Blackstone Real Estate Debt
Strategies III M., its predecessor funds and other vehicles accounts and/or entities (including without
limitation, Blackstone Mortgage Trust Inc. ("BXMT'), a publicly traded REIT, and any other funds,
vehicles, accounts and/or other entities managed on a day-to-day basis primarily by personnel in the
Blackstone Real Estate Debt Strategics Group). For purposes hereof, - BPP Funds" shall be deemed to
include Blackstone Property Partners •., Blackstone Property Partners International — A •., each of
their respective parallel funds and successor funds, including any alternative vehicles formed in
connection therewith, and any other funds, vehicles, accounts and/or other entities related to the -core,"
"core+" or value-add investment space (including such future investment funds, managed accounts and/or
other similar arrangements).
Fees for Services. Blackstone may receive (i) acquisition fees for Investments, (ii) Additional Fees, (iii)
fees for Property Management Services, and (iv) fees for Company Advisory Services, as described under
Section II: "Summary Terms of the Partnership—Management Fee; Other Fees." Blackstone may also
serve as an advisor to a seller of an investment to the Partnership (see "—Other Blackstone Businesses
and Activities" below). The Management Fee with respect to a Limited Partner will generally be reduced
by an amount equal to (i) 100% of such Limited Partner's pro rata share of fees described in clause (i)
above and (ii) 80% of such Limited Partner's share of Additional Fees; provided, that such fees will be
allocated among the Partnership (and the Parallel Funds), the Real Estate Funds, vehicles participating
with respect to the Blackstone Co-Investment Percentage, Supplemental Capital Vehicles and, to the
extent applicable, the Other Blackstone Funds or Similar Funds on a pro rata basis in applying the
foregoing. Except as set forth above, the Limited Partners will not receive the benefit of fees or other
compensation received by Blackstone in connection with the provision of services by Blackstone to the
Partnership or third parties. The amount of such fees allocable to such Other Blackstone Funds and/or
accounts and co-investment vehicles will not result in an offset of the Management Fee payable by
Limited Partners, even if such Other Blackstone Funds and/or accounts and co-investment vehicles
provide for lower or no management fees for the investors or participants therein (such as the vehicles
established in connection with Blackstone's side-by-side co-investment rights, which generally do not
provide for a management fee or carried interest payable by participants therein). In the event break-up or
topping fees are paid to Blackstone in connection with a transaction that is not ultimately consummated,
co-investment vehicles that invest alongside the Partnership will generally not be allocated any share of
such break-up or topping fees; similarly, such co-investment vehicles generally do not bear their share of
broken deal expenses (such as reverse termination fees, extraordinary expenses such as litigation costs
and judgments and other expenses) for unconsummated transactions, and such costs and expenses will be
home by the Limited Partners. Such other fees may give risc to conflicts of interest in connection with
the Partnership's investment activities, and while the General Partner and the Investment Advisor will
seek to resolve any such conflicts in a fair and equitable manner, there is no assurance that any such
conflicts will be resolved in favor of the Partnership. (See also "—Other Blackstone Funds; Allocation of
Investment Opportunities; "Investments in Which Other Blackstone Funds Have A Different Principal
Investment" and "—Other Real Estate Funds" below.)
In the case of acquisition fees, often times these will be calculated as a percentage of the total enterprise
valuation of the transaction, which is generally the aggregate amount of invested capital and debt assumed
or financed by the Partnership and/or the portfolio company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
Blackstone has established an 80/20 joint venture with Kensington Vanguard, an existing leading national
title agent to create a new title company (the "Title Company"). While the mandate of the Title Company
is U.S.-focused, Blackstone may. in the future, expand the title agency to non-U.S. jurisdictions,
including Europe. The new Title Company acts as an agent for certain large underwriters in issuing title
policies for investments by Other Blackstone Funds as well as non-Blackstone investments (where
applicable) and it is anticipated that if title agency is expanded to non-U.S. jurisdictions, such title agent
ER305378-MAXWELL

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001937
EFTA00237568
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofinterest
would act similarly. The Title Company and any such title agents place title insurance and provide title
services for property owned by, and/or portfolio companies of, Other Blackstone Funds (and may serve in
such capacities for the Partnership), and, as a result, Blackstone. through its interest in such entity.
receives (or will receive) fees and compensation resulting from its investments, and there will be no
related offset to the Management Fee. As a result, while Blackstone believes that any such affiliated title
agent, when engaged, generally provides (or will provide) services at rates equal to or better than those
provided by third parties (even in jurisdictions where insurances rates arc statutorily determined), there is
an inherent conflict of interest that may incentivize Blackstone to engage its affiliated service provider
over a third party.
In addition. Blackstone Property Management Limited (-BPM"), a Blackstone affiliate that provides
property management, leasing oversight and development management services to certain Blackstone
Real Estate investment properties primarily located in the United Kingdom and continental Europe, as
discussed in further detail below under "—Service Providers," will receive fees for such services at
competitive market rates as confirmed by the General Partner from time to time.
The Partnership will bear the cost of fund administration and other related services provided by
Blackstone employees and/or affiliates (including the allocation of their compensation otherwise payable
by Blackstone), and, except in certain limited circumstances, such amounts will not offset the
Management Fee. Such allocations require judgments as to methodology that Blackstone will make in
good faith. Such methodologies can include (i) requiring personnel to periodically record or allocate their
historical time according to the Partnership, (ii) Blackstone approximating the proportion of certain
personnel's time spent on particular funds, (iii) the assessment of an overall dollar amount (based on a
fixed fee or percentage of assets under management) that Blackstone believes represents a fair
recoupment of expenses and market rate for such services or (iv) any other similar methodology
determined by Blackstone to be appropriate under the circumstances. Any such methodology (including
the choice thereof) involves inherent conflicts and may not result in perfect attribution and allocation of
expenses. These expenses will be borne by the Partnership and will not result in any offsct to the
Management Fee.
Blackstone (or its portfolio companies) may from time to time provide asset and/or property management
services for a fee (including incentive fees) with respect to Investments sold by the Partnership to a third
party buyer. Such involvement of Blackstone as a provider of such services with respect to such
Investments may give rise to potential or actual conflicts of interest. While it is generally not expected
that Blackstone will have a separate direct economic interest in such Investments, it is possible that a
buyer may require Blackstone as provider of such services to retain or acquire a stake in the asset as part
of the overall service relationship therewith.
Advisors and Operating Partners. Blackstone engages and retains strategic advisors, consultants, senior
advisors and other similar professionals who are not employees or affiliates of Blackstone and who are
expected, from time to time, to receive payments from, or allocations with respect to, portfolio companies
(as well as from Blackstone or the Partnership). In such circumstances, such payments from, or
allocations with respect to, portfolio companies and/or the Partnership may be treated as Partnership
Expenses and will not, even if they have the effect of reducing any retainers or minimum amounts
otherwise payable by Blackstone, be deemed paid to or received by Blackstone and such amounts will not
be subject to the offset provisions as described in Section II: "Summary Terms of the Partnership -
Management Fee; Other Fees." These strategic advisors, consultants, operating partners and/or other
professionals (which may include certain former Blackstone employees) often have the right or may be
offered the ability to co-invest alongside the Partnership. including in those Investments in which they are
involved (and for which they may be entitled to receive performance-related incentive fees, which will
reduce the Partnership's returns and will not necessarily be subordinated to the return ofLimited Partners'
Capital Contributions), or otherwise participate in equity plans for management of any such portfolio
company or invest directly in the Partnership or in a vehicle controlled by the Partnership subject to
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe '•' 91
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001938
EFTA00237569
Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts ofInterest
reduced or waived management fees and/or carried interest, including after the termination of their
engagement by or other status with Blackstone, and such co-investment and/or participation (which
generally will result in the Partnership being allocated a smaller share of an investment) will not be
considered as part of Blackstone's side-by-side co-investment rights. Additionally, and notwithstanding
the foregoing, these strategic advisors, consultants, senior advisors and/or other professionals, as well as
current and former executive officers of Blackstone portfolio companies, are expected to be (or have the
preferred right to be) investors in Portfolio Vehicles and/or Other Blackstone Funds, and may be
permitted to participate in Blackstone's side-by-side co-investment rights, which generally do not provide
for a management fee or carried interest payable by participants therein and generally result in the
Partnership being allocated a smaller share of an investment than would otherwise be the case in the
absence of such side-by-side rights. Additionally, Other Blackstone Funds will be permitted (or have the
preferred right) to participate in Blackstone's side-by-side co-investment rights. In particular, funds,
vehicles, accounts and other similar arrangements managed by Blackstone Total Alternatives Solution
Advisors L.L.C. are expected to participate in investments alongside the Partnership pursuant to
Blackstone's side-by-side investment rights. In such cases, Blackstone would be eligible to receive fees
and carried interest with respect to such Other Blackstone Funds. The nature of the relationship with each
of the strategic advisors, senior advisors, consultants, operating partners and/or other professionals and
the amount of time devoted or required to be devoted by them varies considerably. In some cases, they
provide the General Partner and/or the Investment Advisor with industry-specific insights and feedback
on investment themes, assist in transaction due diligence, make introductions to and provide reference
checks on management teams. In other cases, they take on more extensive roles and serve as executives
or directors on the boards of portfolio companies or contribute to the origination of new investment
opportunities. In certain instances Blackstone has formal arrangements with these executive advisors
consultants, management teams for operating platforms and/or other professionals (which may or may not
be terminable upon notice by any party), and in other cases the relationships are more informal. They are
either compensated (including pursuant to retainers and expense reimbursement and, in any event,
pursuant to negotiated arrangements which will not be confirmed as being comparable to the market rates
for such services) from Blackstone, the Partnership and/or portfolio companies or otherwise
uncompensated unless and until an engagement with a portfolio company develops. In certain cases, they
have certain attributes of Blackstone "employees" (e.g., they may have dedicated offices at Blackstone,
have a Blackstone email address, participate in general meetings and events for Blackstone personnel,
work on Blackstone matters as their primary or sole business activity) even though they are not
Blackstone employees, affiliates or personnel for purposes of the Partnership Agreement, Investment
Advisory Agreement and related Management Fee offset provisions. There can be no assurance that any
of the consultants and/or other professionals will continue to serve in such roles and/or continue their
arrangements with Blackstone, the Partnership and/or any portfolio companies throughout the term of the
Partnership.
Blackstone Policies and Procedures Specified policies and procedures implemented by Blackstone to
mitigate potential conflicts of interest and address certain regulatory requirements and contractual
restrictions will from time to time reduce the synergies across Blackstone's various businesses that the
Partnership expects to draw on for purposes of pursuing attractive investment opportunities. Berartse
Blackstone has many different asset management businesses, including capital markets group, it is subject
to a number of actual and potential conflicts of interest, greater regulatory oversight and subject to more
legal and contractual restrictions than that to which it would otherwise be subject if it had just one line of
business. In addressing these conflicts and regulatory, legal and contractual requirements across its
various businesses, Blackstone has implemented certain policies and procedures (e.g., information walls)
that reduce the positive synergies that the Partnership expects to utilize for purposes of finding attractive
investments. For example, Blackstone will from time to time come into possession of material non-public
information with respect to companies in which its private equity business may be considering making an
investment or companies that are clients of Blackstone. As a consequence, that information, which could
be of benefit to the Partnership, might become restricted to those respective businesses and otherwise be
ER305378-MAXWELL
92 Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001939
EFTA00237570
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
unavailable to the Partnership. In addition, to the extent that the Blackstone Real Estate group is in
possession of material non-public information or is otherwise restricted from trading in certain securities,
the Partnership and the Investment Advisor, as part of the Blackstone Real Estate group, generally also
will be deemed to be in possession of such information or otherwise restricted. This could reduce the
investment opportunities available to the Partnership, prevent the Partnership from exiting an Investment
or otherwise limit its investment flexibility. Additionally, the terms of confidentiality or other agreements
with or related to companies in which any Blackstone fund has or has considered making an investment
or which is otherwise a client of Blackstone will from time to time restrict or otherwise limit the ability of
the Partnership and/or its portfolio companies and their affiliates to make investments in or otherwise
engage in businesses or activities competitive with such companies. Blackstone may enter into one or
more strategic relationships, in certain regions or with respect to certain types of investments that.
although intended to provide greater opportunities for the Partnership, may require the Partnership to
share such opportunities or otherwise limit the amount of an opportunity the Partnership can otherwise
take. (See also "—Other Blackstone Funds; Allocation of Investment Opportunities.")
Other Blackstone Businesses andActivities. As part of its regular business, Blackstone provides a broad
range of services. In addition, from time to time, Blackstone and its affiliates will provide services in the
future beyond those currently provided. Limited Partners will not receive a benefit from such fees.
In connection with its capital markets, investment banking. real estate advisory and other businesses.
Blackstone may determine that there are conflicts of interest or come into possession of information that
limits its and its affiliates' ability to engage in potential real estate-related transactions. The Partnership's
activities may be constrained as a result of such conflicts of interest and Blackstone's inability to use such
information.
For example, employees of Blackstone may be prohibited by law or contract from sharing information
with Blackstone's real estate group. Additionally, there may be circumstances in which one or more
individuals associated with Blackstone will be precluded from providing services to the General Partner
or the Investment Advisor because of certain confidential information available to those individuals or to
other parts of Blackstone. Blackstone is under no obligation to decline any engagements or investments
in order to make an investment opportunity available to the Partnership. The Partnership may be forced
to sell or hold existing Investments as a result of investment banking relationships or other relationships
that Blackstone may have or transactions or investments Blackstone and its affiliates may make or have
made. (See "—Other Blackstone Funds; Allocation of Investment Opportunities" and "Portfolio
Company Relationships" below.) The Partnership may also co-invest with such clients of Blackstone in
particular investment opportunities and the relationship with such clients could influence the decisions
made by the General Partner with respect to such Investments. Therefore, there can be no assurance that
all potentially suitable investment opportunities that come to the attention of Blackstone will be made
available to the Partnership. (Sec also "—Continuing Relationships of Schreiber," "—Other Blackstone
Funds; Allocation of Investment Opportunities," "I—Conflicting Fiduciary Duties to Debt Funds" and --
Other Real Estate Funds," below.)
Blackstone will from time to time participate in underwriting or lending syndicates with respect to
portfolio companies of the Partnership, or otherwise be involved in the public offering and/or private
placement of debt or equity securities issued by, or loan proceeds borrowed by, the Partnership's portfolio
companies, or otherwise in arranging financing (including loans) for portfolio companies. Such
underwritings will be on a firm commitment basis or may be on an uncommitted "best efforts" basis. A
Blackstone broker-dealer will from time to time act as the managing underwriter or a member of the
underwriting syndicate and purchase securities from the Partnership or such portfolio companies or advise
on such transactions. Blackstone will also from time to time, on behalf of the Partnership or other parties
to a transaction involving the Partnership, effect transactions, including transactions in the secondary
markets where it will from time to time nonetheless have a potential conflict of interest regarding the
Partnership and the other parties to those transactions to the extent it receives commissions or other
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 93
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001940
EFTA00237571
Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts ofInterest
compensation from the Partnership and such other parties. Subject to applicable law, Blackstone will
from time to time receive underwriting fees, discounts, placement commissions, lending arrangement and
syndication fees (or, in each case, rebates of any such fees, whether in the form of purchase price
discounts or otherwise, even in cases where Blackstone or an Other Blackstone Fund or account is
purchasing debt) or other compensation with respect to the foregoing activities, which are not required to
be shared with the Partnership or the Partners and the Management Fee with respect to a Limited Partner
generally will not be reduced by such amounts. Blackstone will from time to time nonetheless have a
potential conflict of interest regarding the Partnership and the other parties to those transactions to the
extent it receives commissions, discounts or such other compensation from such other parties. The
General Partner will approve any transactions in which a Blackstone broker-dealer acts as an underwriter,
as broker for the Partnership, or as dealer, broker or advisor, on the other side of a transaction with the
Partnership only where the General Partner believes in good faith that such transactions are appropriate
for the Partnership and, by executing a Subscription Agreement for Interests in the Partnership, a Limited
Partner consents to all such transactions, along with the other transactions involving conflicts of interest
described herein, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sales of securities for the account of the
Partnership (particularly marketable securities) will from time to time be bunched or aggregated with
orders for other accounts of Blackstone including other investment partnerships. It is frequently not
possible to receive the same price or execution on the entire volume of securities sold, and the various
prices may be averaged which may be disadvantageous to the Partnership. Where Blackstone serves as
underwriter with respect to a portfolio company's securities, the Partnership will from time to time be
subject to a lock-up" period following the offering under applicable regulations during which time its
ability to sell any securities that it continues to hold is restricted. This may prejudice the Partnership's
ability to dispose of such securities at an opportune time. (See also "—Other Trading and Investing
Activities" and "—Portfolio Company Relationships" below.)
Blackstone employees, including employees of the Investment Advisor, are generally permitted to invest
in alternative investment funds, real estate funds, hedge funds or other investment vehicles, including
potential competitors of the Partnership. Limited Partners will not receive any benefit from any such
investments.
On October I, 2015, Blackstone spun off its financial and strategic advisory services, restructuring and
reorganization advisory services, and its Park Hill fund placement businesses and combined these
businesses with PIT Partners Inc. ("PIT), an independent financial advisory firm founded by Paul J.
Taubman. While the new combined business operates independently from Blackstone and is not be an
affiliate thereof, nevertheless conflicts may arise in connection with transactions between or involving the
Partnership and its portfolio companies on the one hand and PIT on the other. Specifically, given that PIT
will not be an affiliate of Blackstone, there may be fewer or no restrictions or limitations placed on
transactions or relationships engaged in by PIM new advisory business as compared to the limitations or
restrictions that might apply to transactions engaged in by an affiliate of Blackstone. It is expected that
there will be substantial overlapping ownership between Blackstone and PIT for a considerable period of
time going forward. Therefore, conflicts of interest in doing transactions involving PIT will still arise.
The pre-existing relationship between Blackstone and its former personnel involved in such financial and
strategic advisory services, the overlapping ownership, co-investment and other continuing arrangements,
may influence the Investment Advisor in deciding to select or recommend PIT to perform such services
for the Partnership (or a portfolio company) (the cost of which will generally be borne directly or
indirectly by the Partnership or such entity, as applicable). Nonetheless, the General Partner and its
affiliates will be free to cause the Partnership and portfolio companies to transact with PIT generally
without restriction under the Partnership Agreement notwithstanding such overlapping interests in, and
relationships with, PIT. (See also "—Placement Agents" above and "—Service Providers" below).
In addition, other present and future activities of Blackstone and its affiliates (including the Investment
Advisor and the General Partner) will from time to time give rise to additional conflicts of interest
relating to the Partnership and its investment activities. In the event that any such conflict of interest
ER305378-MAXWELL

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001941

Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts ofInterest
arises, the General Partner %%ill attempt to resolve such conflicts in a fair and equitable manner. Investors
should be aware that conflicts will not necessarily be resolved in favor of the Partnership's interests. In
addition, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, an M. Advisory Committee will be established and
authorized to give consent on behalf of the Partnership with respect to certain matters as described more
fully in Section II: "Summary Terms of the Partnership—M. Advisory Committee". If the M.
Advisory Committee consents to a particular matter as to which it is consulted and the General Partner
acts in a manner, or pursuant to the standards and procedures, approved by the M. Advisory Committee,
or otherwise as provided in the Partnership Agreement, then the General Partner and its affiliates will not
have any liability to the Partnership or the Limited Partners for such actions taken in good faith by them.
Investments in Portfolio Companies Alongside Other Blackstone Funds. In addition to the
contemplated participation in Investments alongside the BREP Co-Investors, the Partnership will also co-
invest with Other Blackstone Funds (including co-investment or other vehicles in which Blackstone or its
personnel invest and that co-invest with such Other Blackstone Funds) in investments that are suitable for
both the Partnership and such Other Blackstone Funds. Even if the Partnership, the BREP Co-Investors
(or any such Other Blackstone Funds) invest in the same securities, conflicts of interest may still arise.
For example, it is possible that as a result of legal, tax, regulatory, accounting or other considerations, the
terms of such investment (including with respect to price and timing) for the Partnership, the BREP Co-
Investors and/or such Other Blackstone Funds may not be the same. Additionally. the Partnership, the
BREP Co-Investors and/or such Other Blackstone Funds will generally have different expiration dates
and/or investment objectives (including return profiles) and Blackstone. as a result, may have conflicting
goals with respect to the price and timing of disposition opportunities. To the extent that the Partnership
holds interests that are different (or more senior) than those held by such Other Blackstone Funds, the
General Partner and the Investment Advisor may be presented with decisions involving circumstances
where the interests of such Other Blackstone Funds are in conflict with those of the Partnership. In
particular. the Investment Advisor may be presented with such conflicts in light of its role as investment
advisor to both the Partnership and BREP VIII. Furthermore, it is possible the Partnership's interest may
be subordinated or otherwise adversely affected by virtue of such Other Blackstone Fund's involvement
and actions relating to its investment. Moreover, while Blackstone generally seeks to use reasonable
efforts to avoid cross-guarantees and other similar arrangements (it being understood, for greater
certainty, that the foregoing does not include cross collateralization at the level of a Portfolio Vehicle that
is non-recourse to the Partnership), it is possible that a counterparty, lender or other unaffiliated
participant in such transaction requires or desires facing only one fund entity or group of entities, which
may result in (i) any of the Partnership, the BREP Co-Investors and/or such Other Blackstone Funds
being solely liable with respect to its own and such third party for such Other Blackstone Funds' share of
the applicable obligation and/or (ii) any of the Partnership, the BREP Co-Investors and/or such Other
Blackstone Funds being jointly and severally liable for the full amount of such applicable obligation, in
each case which may result in the Partnership, the BREP Co-Investors and/or such Other Blackstone
Funds entering into a back-to-back or other similar reimbursement agreement. In such situations it is not
expected that any of the Partnership, the BREP Co-Investors and/or such Other Blackstone Funds would
be compensated (or provide compensation to the other) for being primarily liable vis-a-vis such third
party counterparty.
Investments in Which Other Blackstone Funds Have a Different Principal Investment; Co-Investment
From time to time, the Partnership can be expected to co-invest with another investment fund, managed
account and/or similar arrangement otherwise advised, managed or operated by Blackstone, including
Blackstone Capital Partners VI M. and Blackstone Capital Partners VII (together with their parallel,
feeder, predecessor and successor funds and alternative investment vehicles), the Real Estate Funds.
BREDS (and including such future investment funds, managed accounts and/or other similar
arrangements) and any successors thereto, any supplemental capital vehicles formed in connection with
any investments made thereby and any vehicles formed in connection with Blackstone's side-by-side or
additional general partner investments relating thereto, other than Similar Funds, Parallel Funds and
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001942

Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest
alternative investment vehicles of the Partnership, (each, an "Other Blackstone Fund" and collectively.
"Other Blackstone Funds"), Limited Partners and/or other third parties in investments that are suitable for
both the Partnership and such Other Blackstone Funds. (Sec Section II: "Summary Terms of the
Partnership— "Allocation of Investment Opportunities & Investment Opportunities to the BREP Co-
Investors. Similar Funds" and "Limited Partners' Co-Investment Rights.") The Partnership may initially
consummate an Investment intended as a co-investment as described herein and syndicate such co-
investment to certain Persons (in accordance with the Partnership Agreement within ninety (90) days of
consummating such co-investment at a price equal to the sum of (i) the Partnership's acquisition cost for
the transferred portion of such co-investment, including any allocable expenses relating thereto (based on
the amount syndicated relative to the amount retained by the Partnership) and (ii) interest on such amount
from the closing date of such co-investment by the Partnership through the transfer date to such certain
participating Persons at a rate at least equal to the Partnership's cost of funds, for the period of time
during which such transferred portion was funded by borrowing by the Partnership) and, by executing a
Subscription Agreement for Interests in the Partnership, a Limited Partner consents to all such
transactions to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the extent the Partnership holds securities that are
different (including with respect to their relative seniority) than those held by such Other Blackstone
Funds, the General Partner and its affiliates may be presented with decisions when the interests of the two
funds are in conflict. If the Partnership makes or has an Investment in a portfolio company in which an
Other Blackstone Fund has an investment, or if an Other Blackstone Fund (e.g., BREDS and/or BXMT),
through the purchase of debt obligations or otherwise, becomes a lender to a portfolio company in which
the Partnership has a debt or equity investment, or if the Partnership and an Other Blackstone Fund
participate in separate tranches of a fundraising with respect to a portfolio company, Blackstone will
generally have conflicting loyalties between its duties to the Partnership and to other affiliates. In that
regard, actions may be taken for the Other Blackstone Funds that are adverse to the Partnership. In
addition, there may be circumstances where Blackstone agrees to implement certain procedures to
ameliorate conflicts of interest which may involve a forbearance of rights relating to the Partnership or an
Other Blackstone Fund, such as where Blackstone may cause an Other Blackstone Fund to decline to
exercise certain control- and/or foreclosure-related rights with respect to a Portfolio Vehicle or portfolio
company (e.g., following the vote of other third party lenders). There can be no assurance than any
conflict will be resolved in favor of the Partnership. Conflicts can also be expected to arise in determining
the amount of an investment, if any, to be allocated among potential investors and the respective terms
thereof. There can be no assurance that the return on the Partnership's investment will be equivalent to or
better than the returns obtained by the other affiliates participating in the transaction. In addition, it is
possible that in a bankruptcy proceeding the Partnership's interest may be adversely affected by virtue of
such Other Blackstone Funds' involvement and actions relating to its investment. In connection with
negotiating senior loans and bank financings in respect of Blackstone-sponsored transactions, from time
to time Blackstone will obtain the right to participate on its own behalf (or on behalf of vehicles that it
manages) in a portion of the senior term financings with respect to such Blackstone-sponsored
transactions on an agreed upon set of terms. Blackstone does not believe that the foregoing arrangements
have an effect on the overall terms and conditions negotiated with the arrangers of such senior loans.
Other Trading and Investing Activities Certain Other Blackstone Funds, including but not limited to
BREDS, BXMT and the funds managed by GS0 Capital Partners LP, GSO Capital Advisors LLC and
GSO Debt Funds Management LLC and any successor funds thereto, may invest in securities of publicly
traded companies which are actual or potential portfolio companies. The trading activities of those
vehicles may differ from or be inconsistent with activities which arc undertaken for the account of the
Partnership in such securities or related securities. In addition, the Partnership may not pursue an
investment in a portfolio company as a result of such trading activities by Other Blackstone Funds.
Representing Creditors and Debtors. From time to time, Blackstone will represent creditors or debtors in
proceedings under Chapter I I of the Bankruptcy Code or prior to such filings or will serve as advisor to
creditor or equity committees. This involvement, for which Blackstone will from time to time be
ER305378-MAXWELL

Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts oflnterest
compensated, will from time to time limit or preclude the flexibility that the Partnership would otherwise
have to buy or sell certain real estate related assets.
Continuing Relationships of Schreiber. Mr. Schreiber serves as a Director of JMB Realty Corporation
and remains a substantial shareholder therein. There may be circumstances in which JMB Realty
Corporation or its affiliates are involved in a real estate transaction with the Partnership either as the
owner, borrower and/or seller of the real estate or as a potential buyer thereof. Although Mr. Schreiber
does not actively participate in the investment decisions of JMB Realty Corporation or its affiliates, and
while there arc no specific restrictions on Mr. Schreiber as a result of his relationship with JMB Realty
Corporation or its affiliates, the Partnership may be precluded from pursuing such transactions as a result
of this relationship.
Other Blackstone Funds; Allocation of Investment Oppoitunifies. Through its Other Blackstone Funds,
Blackstone currently invests and plans to continue to invest third-party capital in a wide variety of
investment opportunities in the United States, Europe, Asia, Latin America and elsewhere. This may
include one or more existing Other Blackstone Funds that have an investment strategy or objective that is
similar to or overlaps with the investment strategy or objectives of the Partnership to some extent.
Although BREP Europe V will generally serve as Blackstone's primary vehicle for control-oriented
"opportunistic" investments in real estate assets or real estate companies located in Europe, all of the
opportunities suitable for the Partnership may not be presented to the Partnership, including: (i) as
permitted under Section II: "Summary Terms of the Partnership—Blackstone's Side-by Side Investment
Rights" and "—Allocation of Investment Opportunities & Investment Opportunities to the BREP Co-
Investors; Similar Funds"; (ii) transactions that would be precluded or materially limited by the
investment limitations or other requirements hereof or applicable law or regulation (including ERISA);
(iii) investments with respect to which the General Partner makes a good faith determination that such
opportunity is not expected to yield returns on investment within the range of returns expected to be
provided by the Investments in which the Partnership was organized to invest, based on the terms thereof
and the information available relating to such opportunity at the time of its evaluation by the General
Partner (including investments suitable for a lower risk, lower return fund, a real estate core or core+ fund
or vehicle (which includes such funds or vehicles primarily making investments in real estate and real
estate related assets within the "core", "core+" or value-add investment space), a real estate mezzanine
fund, a REIT, a real estate trading vehicle or a real estate fund primarily making debt investments or non-
controlling investments in public and private debt and equity securities) (it being understood that the
foregoing funds and vehicles are not primarily focused on making "control-oriented" and/or
"opportunistic" investments in Europe and therefore not Similar Funds); (iv) strategic acquisitions or
investments by Blackstone itself, whether in financial institutions or otherwise, (v) as otherwise approved
by the •. Advisory Committee and (vi) if otherwise an investment fund managed by Blackstone has
investment objectives or guidelines in common with those of the Partnership, then investment
opportunities which arc within such common objectives and guidelines will be allocated between the
Partnership and such other vehicle by the General Partner on a basis that the General Partner believes in
good faith to be fair and reasonable. See Section II: "Summary Terms of the Partnership—Allocation of
Investment Opportunities & Investment Opportunities to the BREP Co-Investors; Similar Funds."
Blackstone may from time to time make and hold investments of various types with or in lieu of Other
Blackstone Funds. Although such investments would be limited or restricted by the Partnership
Agreement or the agreements for Other Blackstone Funds, to the extent Blackstone does make or hold
such investments, many of the conflicts of interest associated with the activities of Other Blackstone
Funds also apply to such investment activities of Blackstone.
In addition, there will be circumstances where investments that arc consistent with the Partnership's
investment objectives will be required or permitted to be made by (to the potential exclusion of the
Partnership) or shared with one or more Other Blackstone Funds, including but not limited to funds and
vehicles described above and/or that have investment objectives similar to and/or overlapping with the
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 97
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001944
EFTA00237575
Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts ofInterest
Partnership's. Some examples of types of investments for which the General Partner will have discretion
to allocate away from the Partnership include (A) debt investment opportunities, which may be allocated
among the Partnership, BREDS, the BPP Funds and/or funds or accounts managed by GSO Capital
Partners LP and its affiliates; (B) minority real estate investments and/or real estate investments with
lower expected returns, which may be allocated to (or in the case of minority real estate investments,
shared with) Blackstone Tactical Opportunities Fund II M. and its related vehicles and successor funds;
and (C) investments in companics, even if such companies have substantial real estate holdings or
otherwise operate in the real estate or real-estate related industries, which may be allocated to Other
Blackstone Funds (including, without limitation, the Blackstone Capital Partners funds). In the case of
investment opportunities involving control-oriented "opportunistic" real estate investments in Europe that
would be required to be presented to the Partnership but otherwise fall within the investment objectives of
an Other Blackstone Fund. Blackstone and the General Partner will allocate such opportunities among
one or more of the Partnership and such Other Blackstone Funds on a basis that it determines to be fair
and reasonable, taking into account contractual obligations, portfolio diversification concerns, the specific
nature of the investment, the source of the investment opportunity, the nature, size, type and terms of the
investment, the relative amounts of capital available for investment in each fund and other anticipated
uses of capital, the source of the investment opportunity, the investment focus, guidelines, limitations, and
strategy of each investment fund or vehicle, portfolio diversification concerns, contractual obligations, the
anticipated tax treatment of the Investment, and other considerations deemed relevant by Blackstone. In
the case of core or core+ real estate investment opportunities, Blackstone will need to assess expected
returns and there can be no assurance that actual returns for any such investment will not exceed
expectations and therefore in one or more circumstances meet the targeted returns for the Partnership.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the BREP Co-Investors will participate alongside the Partnership in each
of the Partnership' Investments as more fully described below. (See also Section II: "Summary Terms of
the Partnership—Allocation of Investment Opportunities; Similar Funds.") With respect to the General
Partner's ability to allocate investment opportunities, including where such opportunities are within the
common objectives and guidelines of the Partnership and another Blackstone fund (which allocations are
to be made on a basis that the General Partner believes in good faith to be fair and reasonable),
Blackstone has established general guidelines for determining how such allocations arc to be made,
which, among other things, sets forth factors the General Partner may consider when allocating
investments. The application of those factors may result in the Partnership not participating (or not
participating to the same extent) in certain investment opportunities in which it would have otherwise
participated had the related allocations been determined without regard to such factors and/or based only
on the circumstances of such particular investment.
There may be circumstances, including in the case where there is a seller who is seeking to dispose a pool
or combination of assets, properties, securities or instruments, where the Partnership and Other
Blackstone Funds participate in a single or related transactions with a particular seller where certain of
such assets, properties, securities or instruments are specifically allocated (in whole or in part) to any of
the Partnership and such Other Blackstone Funds. The allocation of such specific items generally would
be based on the General Partner's determination of the expected returns for such items (e.g., specific
items with higher expected returns may be allocated to the Partnership whereas those with lower relative
expected returns may be allocated to an Other Blackstone Fund), and in any such case the combined
purchase price paid to a seller would be allocated among the multiple assets, properties, securities or
instruments based on a determination by the seller, by a third party valuation firm and/or by the General
Partner and its affiliates.
The BREP Co-Investors will participate in Investments alongside the Partnership. Such participation (the
"BREP Co-Investment Participation Percentage") will be 20% of the amount of each Investment
otherwise available to be made by the Partnership, subject to: (i) legal, tax, regulatory, accounting and
other similar considerations (including, without limitation, any investment limitations of the Partnership
or the BREP Co-Investors), (ii) the BREP Co-Investors or the Partnership having available capital with
ER305378-MAXWELL
98 Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001945
EFTA00237576
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofinterest
respect thereto. (iii) ability of the BREP Co-Investors to increase the BREP Co-Investment Participation
Percentage with respect to an Investment if such Investment would otherwise exceed 7% of the Capital
Commitments to the Partnership and (iv) the General Partner changing the BREP Co-Investment
Participation Percentage for a particular Investment or prospective Investments generally if (x) it
considers such change appropriate in its reasonable business judgment, (y) it obtains the approval of the
•. Advisory Committee and (2) any necessary approval required under the partnership agreement of the
BREP Co-Investors is obtained. In addition, if an Investment would otherwise exceed 7% of the Capital
Commitments to the Partnership, Blackstone may allocate such excess as it determines, including to
Other Blackstone Funds, or other co-investors.
Additionally, it can be expected that Blackstone will, from time to time, enter into arrangements or
strategic relationships with third parties, including other asset managers, financial firms or other
businesses or companies, which, among other things, provides for referral or sharing of investment
opportunities. While it is possible that the Partnership will, along with Blackstone itself, benefit from the
existence of those arrangements and/or relationships, it is also possible that investment opportunities that
would otherwise be presented to or made by the Partnership would instead be referred (in whole or in
part) to such third party, or as indicated above, to other third parties. This means that co-investment
opportunities that are sourced by the Partnership will be allocated to investors that are not Limited
Partners.
As provided in Section II: "Summary Terms of the Partnership—Blackstone's Side-by Side Investment
Rights", a portion of each Investment will be allocated to Blackstone and its affiliates. Certain Other
Blackstone Funds can be expected to participate in such investment opportunities through Blackstone's
side by side co-investment rights. The Partnership may lend an amount to Blackstone and its affiliates
with respect to its pro rata share of such Investments in those circumstances where the Partnership is
borrowing with respect thereto on a short term basis; provided, that any such amounts so borrowed shall
be (x) on a short term basis (based on the General Partner's reasonable belief at the time of the
Investment); and (y) on no more favorable terms than those applicable to the Partnership's borrowing of
the related proceeds.
There are expected to be circumstances where an amount that would have otherwise been invested by the
Partnership will instead be allocated to co-investors (who may or may not be Limited Partners, including,
for greater certainty, limited partners of Other Blackstone Funds), and there is no guarantee for any
Limited Partner that it will be offered any co-investment opportunities. As a general matter, the
allocation of co-investment opportunities is entirely discretionary, and it is expected that many investors
who may have expressed an interest in co-investment opportunities may not be allocated any co-
investment opportunities or may receive a smaller amount of co-investment opportunities than the amount
requested. The General Partner will take into account various facts and circumstances deemed relevant by
the General Partner in allocating co-investment opportunities, including whether a potential co-investor
has expressed an interest in evaluating co-investment opportunities, the General Partner's assessment of a
potential co-investor's ability to invest an amount of capital that fits the needs of the investment (taking
into account the amount of capital needed as well as the maximum number of investors that can
realistically participate in the transaction) and the General Partner's assessment of a potential co-
investor's ability to commit to a co-investment opportunity within the required timeframe of the particular
transaction. Additional considerations may also include, among others and without limitation, the size of
investor commitments to the Partnership, the Parallel Vehicles Funds, Other Blackstone Funds and
strategic third party investors, whether a potential co-investor has a history of participating in co-
investment opportunities with Blackstone, the size of the potential co-investor's interest to be held in the
underlying portfolio company as a result of the Partnership's investment (which is likely to be based on
the size of the potential co-investor's capital commitment and/or investment in the Partnership's). whether
the potential co-investor has demonstrated a long-term and/or continuing commitment to the potential
success of Blackstone, the Partnership, or other co-investments and/or Other Blackstone Funds, and such
other factors that Blackstone deems relevant under the circumstances. In particular, Blackstone may
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 99
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001946
EFTA00237577
Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest
agree with investors (including third party investors and investors in the Partnership and Parallel Funds)
to more favorable rights with respect to co-investment opportunities, and to the extent any such
arrangements are entered into, they may result in fewer co-investment opportunities being made available
to Limited Partners. Furthermore, in connection with any such co-investment by third-party co-investors,
Blackstone may establish one or more investment vehicles managed or advised by Blackstone to facilitate
such co-investors' investment alongside the Partnership and/or the Parallel Funds. In addition, the
General Partner and/or its affiliates may be incentivized to offer certain potential co-investors the
opportunities to co-invest since the amount of carried interest and/or Management Fee to which the
General Partner and/or its affiliates arc entitled under the arrangements with such co-investors with
respect to such co-investor's participation in the Partnership, the Parallel Funds and/or Other Blackstone
Funds may depend on, among other things, the extent to which such co-investors participates in co-
investments. Such incentives will from time to time give rise to conflicts of interest, and there can be no
assurance that any investment opportunities that would have otherwise been offered to the Partnership
will be made available to the Partnership. It is expected that many investors who may have expressed an
interest in co-investment opportunities will not be allocated any co-investment opportunities or may
receive a smaller amount of co-investment opportunities than the amount requested.
There are also circumstances where debt financing is provided by a Limited Partner or an affiliate thereof.
Any such financing would be in addition to funds provided in accordance with any such Limited Partner's
Capital Commitment and shall in no way reduce the Unused Capital Commitment of such Limited Partner
with respect to any Investment. As a general matter, the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may
request proposals from Limited Partners or their affiliates to provide any such debt financing and the
General Partner, in its sole discretion, shall determine which proposals, if any, are acceptable to the
Partnership. As a general matter, in determining the allocation of debt financing opportunities, the
General Partner generally expects to take into account various facts and circumstances it deems
relevant. Such factors are likely to include, among others, whether a potential lender has expressed an
interest in evaluating debt financing opportunities, whether a potential lender has a history of participating
in debt financing opportunities generally and with Blackstone in particular, the size of the potential
lender's loan amount, the timing of the Investment, the availability of other sources of financing, the
creditworthiness of the Limited Partner or its affiliates, whether the potential lender has demonstrated a
long-term and/or continuing commitment to the potential success of Blackstone, real estate funds, the
Partnership, or other debt financing opportunities and/or Other Blackstone Funds, and such other factors
that Blackstone deems relevant under the circumstances.
Portfolio Company Relationships. The Partnership's portfolio companies are or will be counterparties or
participants in agreements, transactions or other arrangements with portfolio companies of other
investment funds managed by Blackstone or other Blackstone affiliates that, although Blackstone
determines to be consistent with the requirements of such funds' governing agreements, would not have
otherwise been entered into but for the affiliation with Blackstone. and which involve fees and/or
servicing payments to Blackstone-affiliated entities which are not subject to the management fee offset
provisions described in Section II: "Summary Terms of the Partnership—Management Fee; Other Fees."
For example, certain portfolio companies enter into agreements regarding group procurement (such as
the group purchasing organization), benefits management, purchase of title and/or other insurance policies
(which will from time to time be pooled across portfolio companies and discounted due to scale) from a
third party or a Blackstone affiliate, and other similar operational, administrative or management related
initiatives that result in commissions or similar payments to Blackstone or its affiliates, including related
to a portion of the savings achieved by the portfolio company. As a part of such benefits management,
certain of the Partnership's Investments may enter into an employer health program arrangement or
similar arrangements with Equity Healthcare LLC ("Equity Healthcare"), a Blackstone affiliate which
negotiates with providers of standard administrative services and insurance carriers for health benefit
plans and other related services for cost discounts, quality of service monitoring, data services and clinical
consulting. Because of the combined purchasing power of its client participants, Equity Healthcare is able
ER305378-MAXWELL
100 Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001947
EFTA00237578
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofinterest
to negotiate pricing terms from providers that are believed to be more favorable than the companies could
obtain for themselves on an individual basis. The payments made to Blackstone in connection with
Equity Healthcare, group purchasing, insurance and benefits management will not offset the Management
Fee payable by the Limited Partners. Additionally, Blackstone will from time to time hold equity or other
investments in companies or businesses (even if they are not "affiliates" of Blackstone) that provide
services to or otherwise contract with portfolio companies. Blackstone has in the past entered (and can be
expected in the future to enter) into relationships with companies in the information technology and
related industries whereby Blackstone acquires an equity or similar interest in such company. In
connection with such relationships, Blackstone may also make referrals and/or introductions to portfolio
companies (which may result in financial incentives (including additional equity ownership) and/or
milestones benefitting Blackstone that arc tied or related to participation by portfolio companies). The
Partnership and the Limited Partners will not share in any fees or economics accruing to Blackstone as a
result of these relationships and/or participation by portfolio companies.
With respect to transactions or agreements with portfolio companies (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, long-term incentive plans), at times if unrelated officers of a portfolio company have not yet been
appointed, Blackstone may negotiate and execute agreements between Blackstone and/or the Partnership
on the one hand, and the portfolio company or its affiliates, on the other hand, which could entail a
conflict of interest in relation to efforts to enter into terms that are aim's length. Among the measures
Blackstone may use to mitigate such conflicts is to involve outside counsel to review and advise on such
agreements and provide insights into commercially reasonable terms.
In addition, it is possible that certain portfolio companies of the Other Blackstone Funds, REITs or real
estate companies in which the Other Blackstone Funds have an interest will compete with the Partnership
for one or more investment opportunities.
In addition, the Investment Advisor may receive fees associated with capital invested by co-investors
relating to investments in which the Partnership participates. This may include in connection with a joint
venture in which the Partnership participates or other similar arrangements with respect to assets or other
interests retained by a seller or other commercial counterpart), with respect to which the Investment
Advisor performs services.
The General Partner will make reasonable efforts to avoid any cross-guarantees or similar obligations for
any Other Blackstone Fund that may invest with the Partnership as permitted herein (other than Parallel
Funds and alternative investment vehicles) (it being understood, for greater certainty, that the foregoing
does not include cross collateralization at the level of a Portfolio Vehicle that is non-recourse to the
Partnership), as more fully described below.
In connection with seeking financing or refinancing of a Portfolio Vehicle, it may be the case that better
financing terms are available when more than one Portfolio Vehicle provides collateral, particularly in
circumstances where the assets of each Portfolio Vehicle arc similar in nature. As such, rather than
seeking such financing or refinancing on its own, a Portfolio Vehicle of the Partnership may enter into
cross collateralization arrangements with another Portfolio Vehicle of the Partnership or Portfolio
Vehicles of one or more Other Blackstone Funds (including portfolio companies of the Partnership's
predecessor or successor funds). While Blackstone would expect any such financing arrangements to
generally be non-recourse to the Partnership and the Other Blackstone Fund, as a result of any cross-
collateralization, the Partnership could also lose its interests in otherwise performing Investments due to
poorly performing or non-performing investments of Other Blackstone Funds.
It is also possible that a counterparty, lender or other unaffiliated participant in such transaction requires
or desires facing only one Portfolio Vehicle or group of Portfolio Vehicles, which will typically result in
(i) any of a Portfolio Vehicle of the Partnership or a Portfolio Vehicle of an Other Blackstone Fund being
solely liable with respect to its own and such third party for such Other Blackstone Fund's Portfolio
Vehicle's share of the applicable obligation and therefore, being required to contribute amounts in excess
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 101
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001948
EFTA00237579
Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts ofInterest
of its pro rata share, including additional capital to make up for any shortfall if such vehicles arc unable to
repay their pro rata share of such indebtedness and/or (ii) any of the Partnership's Portfolio Vehicle and
such Other Blackstone Fund's Portfolio Vehicle being jointly and severally liable for the full amount of
such applicable obligation or liable on a cross-collateralized basis on an investment-by-investment or
portfolio wide basis or liable for an equity cushion (which cushion amount may vary depending upon the
type of financing or refinancing (e.g., cushions for refinancings may be smaller), in each case which may
result in the Partnership's Portfolio Vehicle and such Other Blackstone Fund's Portfolio Vehicle entering
into a back-to-back or other similar reimbursement agreement.
Conflicting Fiduciary Duties to Debt Funds It is expected that Blackstone will structure certain
investments such one or more mezzanine or other investment funds, structured vehicles or other collective
investment vehicles primarily investing in senior secured loans, distressed debt, subordinated debt, high-
yield securities, CMBS and other similar debt instruments managed by affiliates of Blackstone
(collectively, "Debt Funds') are offered the opportunity to participate in the debt tranche of an Investment
allocated to the Partnership. As investment advisor to both the Partnership and the Debt Funds,
Blackstone owes a fiduciary duty to the Debt Funds as well as to the Partnership. If the Debt Funds
purchase high-yield securities or other debt instruments from a real estate company owned by the
Partnership (or if the Partnership makes or has an Investment in or, through the purchase of debt
obligations becomes a lender to, a company or property in which a Debt Fund or an Other Blackstone
Fund (e.g., BREDS or BXMT) or Other Real Estate Fund (as defined below) has a mezzanine or
distressed debt investment), Blackstone will face a conflict of interest in respect of the advice it gives to,
or the decisions made with regard to, the Debt Funds, such Other Blackstone Funds and the Partnership
(e.g., with respect to the terms of such high-yield securities or other debt instruments, the enforcement of
covenants, the terms of recapitalizations and the resolution of workouts or bankruptcies).
Other Real Estate Funds. Blackstone reserves the right to raise and/or manage additional real estate
investment funds or vehicles ("Other Real Estate Funds"), including global opportunistic real estate
funds, including successors to BREP VIII; the BPP Funds, investments suitable for lower risk, lower
return funds, real estate mezzanine funds, real estate trading vehicles, REITs, real estate fiords primarily
making non-controlling investments in public and private debt and equity securities and/or investment
funds that may have the same or similar investment objectives as the Partnership for specific geographical
areas outside of Europe (e.g., Blackstone Real Estate Partners Asia M.), in each case including such
Other Real Estate Fund's related vehicles and successors thereto. (See Section II: "Summary Terms of
the Partnership—Allocation of Investment Opportunities & Investment Opportunities to the BREP Co-
Investors; Similar Funds" and "—Other Blackstone Funds; Allocation of Investment Opportunities"
above.) The closing of an Other Real Estate Fund could result in the reallocation of Blackstone personnel,
including reallocation of existing real estate professionals. to such Other Real Estate Fund. In addition,
potential investments that are suitable for the Partnership may be directed toward such Other Real Estate
Fund (in whole or in part).
As part of Blackstone's December 2012 acquisition of CT Investment Management LLC ("CTIMCO"),
the investment management business of Capital Trust, Inc. ("Capital Trust"), a publicly-traded real estate
investment trust that specializes in real estate-related debt investments with a focus on mortgage loans
that am backed by commercial real estate assets and certain fund interests in private funds previously
managed by subsidiaries of CTIMCO. Blackstone now manages Capital Trust, which was renamed
Blackstone Mortgage Trust (NYSE: BXMT) in May 2013, and three private investment funds and certain
managed accounts that invest in commercial real estate debt and related investments. In certain instances,
the investment objectives of these Other Real Estate Funds may overlap with the investment objectives of
the Partnership. and certain investment opportunities may be shared with, or allocated to, such Other Real
Estate Funds. In addition, the loan servicing and special servicing business acquired in this transaction
was formerly associated with the investment management business of BXMT and is now operated as part
of BREDS. Such loan servicing business may, in certain circumstances, enter into loan servicing
arrangements and may receive fees with respect to the Partnership's Investments and/or portfolio

companies of the Partnership on customary terms and conditions. BXMT is managed by its manager in
conformity with BXMT's investment guidelines and other policies that are approved and monitored by
BXMT's board of directors; at least a majority of BXMT's board is comprised of directors who qualify as
independent directors. BXMT's manager and its board of directors have certain contractual and other
duties relating to BXMT, and may not consider the interests of the Partnership with respect to
participation in the same investment or in separate tranches of fundraising with respect to a portfolio
entity. Therefore, such sharing or assignment of rights could make it more difficult for the Partnership to
protect its interests and could give rise to a conflict (which may be exacerbated in the case of financial
distress) and could result in BXMT or an Other Blackstone Fund (e.g., other BREDS Vehicles) exercising
such rights in a way adverse to the Partnership.
Blackstone Involvement in Financing of Third Pony Dispositions by the Partnership. The Partnership
may from time to time dispose of all or a portion of an Investment by way of a third party purchaser's bid
where Blackstone or one or more Other Blackstone Funds provide financing as part of such bid or
acquisition of the investment or underlying assets thereof. This generally would include the circumstance
where Blackstone or one or more Other Blackstone Funds makes commitments to provide financing at or
prior to the time such third party purchaser commits to purchase such investments or assets from the
Partnership. Such involvement of Blackstone or one or more Other Blackstone Funds as such a provider
of debt financing in connection with the potential acquisition of portfolio investments by third parties
from the Partnership may give rise to potential or actual conflicts of interest.
Joint Venture Partners. Some of the third-party operators and joint-venture partners with which the
General Partner may elect to co-invest the Partnership's capital have preexisting investments with
Blackstone and/or Mr. Schreiber. The terms of these preexisting investments may differ from the terms
upon which the Partnership invests with such operators and partners. To the extent a dispute arises
between Blackstone and/or Mr. Schreiber and such operators and partners. the Partnership's Investments
relating thereto may be affected.
Service Providers. Certain advisors and other service providers (or their affiliates), including
accountants, administrators, lenders, bankers, brokers, attorneys. consultants, title agents and investment
or commercial banking firms, to the Partnership, Blackstone and/or certain entities in which the
Partnership has an Investment also provide goods or services to or have business, personal, financial or
other relationships with Blackstone, its affiliates and Portfolio Vehicles. Such advisors and service
providers may be investors in the Partnership, affiliates of the General Partner, sources of financing and
investment opportunities or co-investors or commercial counterparties or entities in which Blackstone
and/or Other Blackstone Funds have an investment, and payments by the Partnership and/or such
Portfolio Vehicles may benefit Blackstone and/or such Other Blackstone Funds. Additionally, certain
employees of the Investment Advisor have family members or relatives employed by such advisors and
service providers. The Investment Advisor and/or its affiliates also provide administrative services to the
Partnership for a fee. These relationships may influence Blackstone, the General Partner and/or the
Investment Advisor in deciding whether to select, recommend or create such an advisor or service
provider to perform services for the Partnership or a Portfolio Vehicle (the cost of which will generally be
bome directly or indirectly by the Partnership). Such affiliated service providers, which am generally
expected to receive market rate fees (as determined by the General Partner) with respect to certain
Investments, include, without limitation:
Intertntst Group. In 2013, Blackstone acquired Intertrust Group. From time to time, Intertrust
Group is expected to perform corporate and trust services on an arms-length basis for the
Partnership, intermediate entities or Portfolio Vehicles. The retention of Intertrust Group as a
service provider may give rise to actual or potential conflicts of interest such as those described
above.
BRE Europe. BRE Europe Real Estate Investment ("BRE Europe") refers to a group of
Luxembourg-based companies that are the master holding companies through which the
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 103
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001950
EFTA00237581
Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts ofInterest
Blackstone real estate funds principally invest into European investments. BRE Europe provides
seven key service functions to European-domiciled entities that are part of the investments of the
Blackstone real estate funds. Companies within BRE Europe providing services to the
Partnership are owned directly by Other Blackstone Funds. The key service functions provided
are: (1) domiciliation, (2) account management, (3) administration, (4) accounting, (5) VAT
compliance, (6) CIT compliance and (7) transaction support services. BRE Europe receives fees
for such services at no greater than market rates deemed competitive by the General Partner, and
operates on a non-profit basis, i.e., the aggregate costs incurred by BRE Europe are allocated and
charged to the individual entities to which services arc provided based on the type and level of
services provided. Blackstone endeavors to allocate fees and expenses associated with BRE
Europe fairly and equitably, which allocation involves certain subjective assumptions based on
actual data pertaining to the services provided. The General Partner believes that this method
results in a fair and equitable allocation of expenses.
Logicor. Portfolio Vehicles arc expected to engage Logicor, an operating platform owned by
BREP VII and BREP Europe III, to provide management and leasing oversight and corporate
services to logistics assets.
Multi Corporation. Portfolio Vehicles are expected to engage Multi Corporation, an operating
platform owned by BREP IV, BREP Europe III and BREP VII, to provide management and
leasing oversight and corporate services to retail assets.
Anticipa. Portfolio Vehicles are expected to engage Anticipa, an operating platform owned by
BREP Europe IV and BREP VII, to provide loan servicing and real estate management.
Fidere. Portfolio Vehicles am expected to engage Fidere, an operating platform owned by BREP
Europe IV and BREP VII, to provide property management services with respect to certain multi-
family residential real estate assets.
Blackstone Property Management. Portfolio Vehicles arc expected to engage BPM, a Blackstone
affiliate that provides property management, leasing oversight and development management
services to certain investment properties primarily located in the United Kingdom and continental
Europe.
In addition to market rate fees. certain affiliated service providers are also expected to receive a
management promote and/or an incentive fee.
BPM and/or one or more other such service providers may become available for acquisition by the
Partnership as an Investment (as a single asset or as part of an operating platform). In such transactions,
Blackstone, one or more Portfolio Vehicles and/or Other Blackstone Funds may be a seller to the
Partnership and/or participate alongside the Partnership as a buyer. The General Partner and the
Investment Advisor are expected to establish a valuation methodology in relation to the acquisition of any
such service provider. In addition, before entering into any such transaction with respect to BPM and/or
any such other service provider, it is anticipated that the Investment Advisor and the General Partner will
obtain such consents that may be required under the Advisers Act or other applicable laws or regulations
and, by executing a Subscription Agreement for Interests in the Partnership, a Limited Partner consents to
all such transactions to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, transactions relating to the Partnership that require the use of a service
provider will generally be allocated to service providers on the basis of best execution, the evaluation of
which includes, among other considerations, such service provider's provision of certain investment-
related services and research that the General Partner believes to be of benefit to the
Partnership. Advisors and service providers, or their affiliates, often charge different rates or have
different arrangements for different types of services. With respect to service providers, for example, the
fee for a given type of work may vary depending on the complexity of the matter as well as the expertise
required and demands placed on the service provider. Therefore, to the extent the types of services used

104 Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001951
EFTA00237582
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
by the Partnership and/or Portfolio Vehicles arc different from those used by Blackstone and its
affiliates, the Investment Advisor or its affiliates may pay different amounts or rates than those paid by
the Partnership and/or Portfolio Vehicles. However, the Investment Advisor and its affiliates have a
longstanding practice of not entering into any arrangements with advisors or service providers that could
provide for lower rates or discounts than those available to the Partnership, Other Blackstone Funds
and/or Portfolio Vehicles for the same services.
Valuation Matters. The fair value of all Investments or of property received in exchange for any
Investments will be determined by the General Partner in accordance with the Partncrship Agreement.
Accordingly, the carrying value of an Investment may not reflect the price at which the investment could
be sold in the markct, and the difference between carrying value and the ultimate sales price could be
material. The valuation of such investments will be determined by the General Partner in accordance
with procedures set forth in the Partnership Agreement. The valuation of Investments will affect the
amount and timing of the General Partner's Carried Interest and, under certain circumstances and
following the Investment Period, the amount of Management Fees payable to the Investment Advisor.
The valuation of Investments may also affect the ability of Blackstone to raise a successor fund to the
Partnership. As a result, there may be circumstances where the General Partner is incentivized to
determine valuations that are higher than the actual fair value of Investments.
Diverse Limited Partner Group. The Limited Partners, and the limited partners of the Parallel Funds,
have conflicting investment, tax and other interests with respect to their investments in the Partnership
and with respect to the interests of investors in other investment vehicles managed or advised by
Blackstone that may participate in the same Investments as the Partnership. The conflicting interests of
individual Limited Partners with respect to other Limited Partners and investors in other investment
vehicles would generally relate to or arise from, among other things, the nature of Investments made by
the Partnership and such other investment vehicles, the structuring or the acquisition of Investments and
the timing of disposition of Investments. As a consequence, conflicts of interest may arise in connection
with decisions made by the General Partner or the Investment Advisor, including with respect to the
nature or structuring of Investments, which may be more beneficial for one or more (but not all) Limited
Partners than for another Limited Partner, especially with respect to Limited Partners' individual tax
situations. In addition, the Partnership may make Investments that may have a negative impact on related
investments made by the Limited Partners in separate transactions. In selecting and structuring
investments appropriate for the Partnership, the General Partner and the Investment Advisor will consider
the investment and tax objectives of the Partnership and its Partners as a whole (and those of investors in
other investment vehicles managed or advised by Blackstone that participate in the same Investments as
the Partnership), not the investment, tax or other objectives of any Limited Partner individually.
Additionally. the General Partner may elect to exclude certain Limited Partners from particular
investments for legal or regulatory reasons applicable to any such investment, in which case non-excluded
Limited Partners will be allocated a greater proportionate interest in such investment. In addition. certain
Limited Partners may also be limited partners in other investment funds sponsored or managed by
Blackstone. Limited Partners may also include affiliates of Blackstone, such as Other Blackstone Funds,
charities or foundations associated with Blackstone personnel and/or current or former Blackstone
employees, Blackstone's senior advisors and/or operating partners and any such affiliates, funds or
persons may also invest through the vehicles established in connection with Blackstone's side-by-side co-
investment rights. It is also possible that the Partnership or the Partnership's portfolio companies will be
counterparties (such counterparties dealt with on an arm's-length basis) or participants in agreements,
transactions or other arrangements with a Limited Partner or an affiliate of a Limited Partner, including
agreements to pay performance fees to operating partners in connection with the Partnership's investment
therein, which will reduce the Partnership's returns and will not necessarily be subordinated to the return
of Limited Partners' Capital Contributions. Such Limited Partners described in the previous sentences
may therefore have different information about Blackstone and the Partnership than Limited Partners not
similarly positioned. Similarly, not at all Limited Partners monitor their investments in vehicles such as
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 105
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001952
EFTA00237583
Risk Factors andPotential Conflicts ofInterest
the Partnership in the same manner. For example, certain Limited Partners may periodically request from
the General Partner information regarding the Partnership and investments and/or portfolio companies
that is not otherwise set forth in (or has yet to be set forth) in the reporting and other information required
to be delivered to all Limited Partners. In such circumstances, the General Partner may provide such
information to such Limited Partner, but because it has provided such information upon request by one or
more Limited Partners does not mean the General Partner will be obligated to affirmatively provide such
information to all Limited Partners (although the General Partner will generally provide the same
information upon request and treat Limited Partners equally in that regard). As a result, certain Limited
Partners may have more information about the Partnership than other Limited Partners. and the General
Partner will have no duty to ensure all Limited Partners seek, obtain or process the same information
regarding the Partnership and its investments and/or portfolio companies.
Additional Potential Conflicts. The officers, directors, members, managers and employees of the
General Partner and the Investment Advisor may trade in securities for their own accounts, subject to
restrictions and reporting requirements as may be required by law and Blackstone policies or otherwise
determined from time to time by the General Partner or the Investment Advisor, as applicable. In
addition, as a consequence of Blackstone's status as a public company, the officers, directors, members,
managers and employees of the General Partner and the Investment Advisor may take into account certain
considerations and other factors in connection with the management of the business and affairs of the
Partnership and its affiliates that would not necessarily be taken into account if Blackstone were not a
public company.
LegalRepresentation. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and Maples and Calder will act as counsel to the
Partnership, the General Partner, and the Investment Advisor in connection with this offering of Interests,
and represents Blackstone from time to time in a variety of different matters. In connection with this
offering of Interests and ongoing advice to the Partnership, the General Partner, and the Investment
Advisor, neither Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP nor Maples and Calder will not be representing the
Limited Partners. No independent counsel has been retained to represent the Limited Partners. Simpson
Thacher & Bartlett LLP or Maples and Calder may be removed by the General Partner at any time
without the consent of, or notice to, the Limited Partners. In addition, neither Simpson Thacher & Bartlett
LLP nor Maples and Calder undertakes on behalf of or for the benefit of the Limited Partners to monitor
the compliance of the Partnership, the General Partner, the Investment Advisor and their affiliates with
the investment program, investment strategies, valuation procedures, investment restrictions and other
guidelines and terms set forth in this Memorandum and the Partnership Agreement, nor does Simpson
Thacher & Bartlett LLP or Maples and Calder monitor on behalf of or for the benefit of the Limited
Partners compliance with applicable laws. Neither Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP nor Maples and
Calder has not investigated or verified the accuracy and completeness of information set forth in this
Memorandum, including information conceming the Partnership, the General Partner, the Investment
Advisor, and their affiliates and personnel.
The foregoing list of risk factors and conflicts does not purport to be a complete enumeration or
explanation of the risks and conflicts involved in an investment in the Partnership. Prospective
Limited Partners should read this entire Memorandum and the Partnership Agreement and
consult with their own advisors before deciding whether to invest in the Partnership. In addition.
as the Partnership's investment program develops and changes over time, an investment in the
Partnership may be subject to additional and different risk factors and conflicts.

VI. Regulatory, Tax, and ERISA Considerations
Certain Regulatory Matters
U.S Investment Company Act of 1940
The Partnership will not be subject to the provisions of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"), in reliance upon Section 3(cX7) thereof. Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act
requires that each prospective purchaser be a "qualified purchaser." A "qualified purchaser" includes a
natural person who owns not less than $5 million in investments or a company. acting for its own account
or the accounts of other qualified purchasers, that owns and invests on a discretionary basis not less than
$25 million in investments, and certain trusts. In addition, the General Partner may form one or more
parallel funds that will not be subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, in reliance upon other exemptions
thereunder, including, for example, Section 3(c)( I ) or Section 7(d) thereof. The Partnership Agreement
and the subscription agreement related thereto will contain representations and restrictions on transfer
designed to assure that the foregoing conditions are met.
U.S Investment Advisers Act of 1940
The Investment Advisor is registered as an investment adviser under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of
1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act").
The SEC has adopted Rule 206(4)-6 under the Advisers Act (the "Rule'), which requires registered
investment advisors that exercise voting authority over client securities to implement proxy voting
policies. Because the Investment Advisor may be deemed to have authority to vote proxies relating to the
companies in which the Partnership invests, the Investment Advisor has adopted a set of policies and
procedures (together, the "Policy") in compliance with the Rule. To the extent the Investment Advisor
exercises or is deemed to be exercising voting authority over Partnership securities, the Policy is designed
and implemented in a manner reasonably expected to ensure that voting with respect to proxy proposals,
amendments, consents or resolutions (collectively, "proxies") is exercised in a manner that serves the best
interest of the Partnership, as determined by the Investment Advisor in its discretion. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, because proxy proposals and individual company facts and circumstances may vary, the
Investment Advisor may not always vote proxies in accordance with the Policy. In addition, many
possible proxy matters are not covered in the Policy. Generally, the Investment Advisor will vote proxies
(i) in favor of management's recommendation for the election of the board of directors and (ii) to approve
the financial statements as presented by management.
Each proxy is voted on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration any relevant facts and
circumstances at the time of the vote. In situations where the Investment Advisor wishes to vote
differently from what is recommended in the Policy, or where a potential material conflict of interest
relating to the proxy vote exists, the Investment Advisor will take such actions as arc required by the
Policy.
Limited Partners may request a copy of the Policy and the voting records relating to proxies as provided
by the Rule by contacting the Investment Advisor.
US Securities Act of 1933
The offer and sale of the Interests in the United States will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act
of 1933 Act, as amended (the "1933 Act") in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by
Section 4(aX2) thereof and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Interests may be offered outside
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 107
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001954
EFTA00237585
Regulatory. Tax andERISA Considerations
the United States in reliance upon either the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D or
Regulation S, in each case, promulgated under the 1933 Act. Each U.S. purchaser must be an "accredited
investor" (as defined in Regulation D) and each purchaser will be required to represent, among other
customary private placement representations, that it is acquiring its Interests for investment purposes only
and not with a view to resale or distribution.
The Interests will not be registered under any other securities laws, including state securities or blue sky
laws and non-U.S. securities laws.
The Interests may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the 1933 Act and any applicable
state or non-U.S. securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom. As described
elsewhere in this Memorandum, the transferability of the Interests will be further restricted by the terms
of the Partnership Agreement.
U.S Securities Exchange Ad of 1934
It is not expected that the Partnership will be required to register the limited partnership interests or any
other security of the Partnership under Section 12(g) or any other provision of the U.S. Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Partnership does not expect to have any
class of equity security held of record by two thousand (2,000) or more persons and expects to meet the
other exemptions available under the Exchange Act. As a result, the Partnership would not be subject to
the periodic reporting and related requirements of the Exchange Act and Limited Partners should only
expect to receive the information and reports required to be delivered pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement.
The Interests will not be registered under any other securities laws, including state securities or blue sky
laws and non-U.S. securities laws.
The Interests may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the 1933 Act and any applicable
state or non-U.S. securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom. As described
elsewhere in this Memorandum, the transferability of the Interests will be further restricted by the terms
of the Partnership Agreement.
U.S Commodity Exchange Act
To the extent the Partnership acquires instruments which may be treated as commodity interests, the
General Partner may claim an exemption from registration as a commodity pool operator ("CPO") with
the CFTC, including pursuant to certain no-action relief or pursuant to CFTC Rule 4.13(aX3) with respect
to the Partnership, on the basis that, among other things, (a) the pool's trading in commodity interest
positions (including both hedging and speculative positions, and positions in security futures) is limited so
that either (i) no more than 5% of the liquidation value of the pool's portfolio is used as initial margin,
premiums and required minimum security deposits to establish such positions, or (ii) the aggregate net
notional value of the pool's trading in such positions does not exceed 100% of the pool's liquidation
value and (b) interests in the pool are exempt from registration under the 1933 Act and, unless the
General Partner determines otherwise in its sole discretion and subject to applicable regulatory
requirements, are offered and sold without marketing to the public in the United States. Therefore, unlike
a registered CPO, the General Partner will not be required to provide prospective investors with a CFTC
compliant disclosure document, nor will the General Partner be required to provide Limited Partners with
periodic account statements or certified annual reports that satisfy the requirements of CFTC rules
applicable to registered CPOs. Accordingly, this Memorandum has not been reviewed or approved by the
CFTC and it is not anticipated that such review or approval will occur.

Regulatory. Tax andERISA Considerations
As an alternative to the exemption from registration as a CPO, the General Partner may register as a CPO
with the CFTC and avail itself of certain disclosure, reporting and record-keeping relief under CFTC Rule
4.7 or another exemption.
U.S Rank Holding Company Act
The U.S. Bank Holdings Company Act of 1956, as amended from time to time, and the rules promulgated
thereunder (collectively, the "BHC Act"), including as modified by the Dodd-Frank Act and the "Volcker
Rule" thereunder, contain restrictions on certain investors who are (or who have affiliates or certain
interest in any entity that is) a bank or a bank-related entity and/or have a connection to the U.S. in that
regard from making and holding certain interests in private equity funds (including real estate private
equity funds like the Partnership). See also Section V: "Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest -
Enhanced Scrutiny and Potential Regulation of the Private Investment Fund Industry and the Financial
Services Industry". Interests in the Partnership am not freely transferable, are not readily tradable on any
exchange or market, and there are no redemption or withdrawal rights, even as of a result of regulatory
matters. As a result, each investor should carefully review and familiarize itself with these rules and
regulations and consult with its own counsel on how the Volcker Rule, Dodd-Frank and the BHC Act
may impact the investor, including as a result of its investment in the Partnership.
Anti-Money Laundering Requirements
In order to comply with applicable anti-money laundering requirements, each investor must represent in
its subscription agreement with the Partnership that neither the investor, nor any person having a direct or
indirect beneficial interest in the Interest being acquired by the investor, appears on the Specifically
Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List of the Office of Foreign Assets Control in the U.S.
Department of the Treasury or in Annex I to U.S. Executive Order 132224 — Blocking Property and
Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism. The
Investor must also represent that (a) it has conducted thorough due diligence with respect to all of its
beneficial owners, has established the identities of all beneficial owners and the source of each of the
beneficial owner's funds and will retain evidence of such due diligence, beneficial owner identities, and
sources of funds; (b) neither it nor any 'Immediate family member" or "close associate" is a "politically
exposed person" (each as defined in the subscription agreement) and (c) it does not know or have any
reason to suspect that (i) the monies used to hand the investor's investment in the Partnership have been,
or will be derived from or related to, any illegal activities, including but not limited to money laundering
activities, and (ii) the proceeds from the investor's investment in the Partnership will be used to finance
any illegal activities. Each investor must also agree to provide any information to the Partnership and its
agents as the Partnership may require in order to determine the investor's and any of its beneficial
owners' source and use of funds and to comply with any anti-money laundering laws and regulations
applicable to the Partnership.
If any person resident in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reasonable grounds for knowing or
suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or is involved with terrorism or terrorist
property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of
business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be
required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman
Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Law (2014 Revision) of the Cayman Islands if the disclosure
relates to criminal conduct or money laundering or (ii) a police officer of the rank of constable or higher,
or the Financial Reporting Authority pursuant to the Terrorism Law (2015 Revision) of the Cayman
Islands if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and property. Such a
report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of
information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.

Requestsfor Information
The Partnership, the General Partner or any of its or their directors or agents domiciled in the Cayman
Islands, may be compelled to provide information, subject to a request for information made by a
regulatory or governmental authority or agency under applicable law; e.g. by the Cayman Islands
Monetary Authority, either for itself or for a recognized overseas regulatory authority. under the
Monetary Authority Law (2013 Revision), or by the Tax Information Authority, under the Tax
Information Authority Law (2014 Revision) or Reporting of Savings Income information (European
Union) Law (2014 Revision) and associated regulations, agreements, arrangements and memoranda of
understanding. Disclosure of confidential information under such laws shall not be regarded as a breach
of any duty of confidentiality and, in certain circumstances, the Partnership, the General Partner or any of
its or their directors or agents, may be prohibited from disclosing that the request has been made.
Certain Cayman Islands Law Related Matters
Notwithstanding registration, an exempted limited partnership is not a separate legal person distinct from
its partners. Under Cayman Islands law, any rights or property of an exempted limited partnership
(whether held in that partnership's name or by any one or more of its general partners) shall be held or
deemed to be held by the general partner, and if more than one then by the general partners jointly, upon
trust as an asset of the exempted limited partnership in accordance with the terms of the partnership
agreement. Any debts or obligations incurred by the general partner in the conduct of the Partnership's
business are the debts and obligations of the exempted limited partnership. Registration under the
Exempted Limited Partnership Lass. 2014 (the "ELP Law") entails that the exempted limited partnership
becomes subject to, and the limited partners therein am afforded the limited liability (subject to the
partnership agreement) and other benefits of, the ELP Law.
The business of an exempted limited partnership will be conducted by its general partner(s) who will be
liable for all debts and obligations of the exempted limited partnership to the extent the Partnership has
insufficient assets. As a general matter, a limited partner of an exempted limited partnership will not be
liable for the debts and obligations of the exempted limited partnership save (i) as provided in the
partnership agreement, (ii) if such limited partner becomes involved in the conduct of the partnership's
business and holds himself out as a general partner to third parties or (iii) if such limited partner is obliged
pursuant to the ELP Law to retum a distribution made to it where the exempted limited partnership is
insolvent and the limited partner has actual knowledge of such insolvency at that time.
The Partnership is not required to register or be regulated as a mutual fund under the Mutual Funds Law
(2015 Revision) of the Cayman Islands. Neither the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority nor any other
governmental authority in the Cayman Islands has commented upon or approved the terms or merits of
this document. There is no investment compensation scheme available to investors in the Cayman
Islands.
Certain Tax Considerations
The following is a discussion of certain of the anticipated United States federal and Cayman Islands
income tax considerations relevant to investors in the Partnership arising from the purchase, ownership
and disposition of Interests. The discussion is based on laws and regulations currently in effect, which
may change or be subject to different interpretations. This discussion does not take into account the
particular circumstances of each prospective investor and may not address considerations relevant to
investors in certain categories subject to special rules. Prospective investors should consult their tax
advisors to determine its application to their own particular circumstances.
ER305378-MAXWELL
110 Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001957
EFTA00237588
Regulatory. Tax andERISA Considerations
In view of the number of different jurisdictions where local laws may apply to Limited Partners of the
Partnership, the discussion below does not address the local tax consequences to potential investors of the
purchase, ownership and disposition of Interests, other than those specifically discussed herein.
Prospective investors are urged to consult their own advisors in determining the possible tax, exchange
control or other consequences to them under the laws of the jurisdiction of which they are citizens,
residents, domiciliaries or in which they conduct business.
Each Limited Partner may be subject to filing requirements or liabilities for taxes as a result of an
investment in the Partnership. For example, an annual 3% French tax may be charged on Limited
Partners that own, directly or indirectly, French property or an interest in French property. This tax,
which is assessed on the fair market value of the French properties held directly or indirectly by the
Limited Partner as at January 1 of the given year, may be eliminated with an applicable tax treaty (subject
to certain disclosure requirements) and does not apply to certain investors (e.g., individuals, listed
companies). In addition, subject to applicable tax treaties, non-French individual Limited Partners may
be subject to a wealth tax (ranging from 0% to 1.50%) assessed on the net value of French-based taxable
assets (including French properties) owned directly or indirectly by such individual. This wealth tax is
assessed on the net value of an individual Limited Partner' interest in French taxable assets in excess of
E800,000, but is only applicable if the net value of such interest in French taxable assets exceeds
€1,300,000 (for year 2015).
The Government of the Cayman Islands will not, under existing legislation, impose any income, corporate
or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax upon the Partnership or the
Limited Partners. Interest, dividends and gains payable to the Partnership and all distributions by the
Partnership to Limited Partners will be received free of any Cayman Islands income or withholding taxes.
The Partnership has registered as an exempted limited partnership under Cayman Islands law and the
Partnership will apply for, and expects to receive, an undertaking from the Governor in Cabinet of the
Cayman Islands to the effect that, for a period of 50 years from the date of the undertaking, no law which
is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits or income or gains or
appreciations shall apply to the Partnership or to any Partner thereof in respect of the operations or assets

Certain U.S Tax Considerations
This summary discusses certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the
Partnership. This discussion does not address taxes that may be imposed on the Partnership or the
Limited Partners by jurisdictions outside the United States in which the Partnership makes Investments.
This discussion is based on current law, which is subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This
discussion is necessarily general and may not apply to all categories of investors, some of which, such as
banks, thrifts, insurance companies, dealers, traders that elect to mark their securities to market and other
investors that do not own their Interests as capital assets, may be subject to special rules. Tax-exempt
organizations and Non-U.S. Limited Partners (as defined below) are discussed separately below. The
actual tax consequences of the purchase and ownership of Interests will vary depending upon the
investor's circumstances.

Regulatory. Tax andERISA Considerations
The following assumes that the Partnership will not invest in U.S. real estate (either directly or indirectly)
or in a U.S. corporation the assets of which consist mostly of U.S. real estate, given the investment
objectives and restrictions of the Partnership.
For purposes of this discussion, "Partnership Agreement" means the partnership agreement of the
Partnership, and the Partnership will generally include any alternative investment vehicle or Parallel
Fund. For purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. Person" or a "U.S. Limited Partner" is an individual who
is a citizen or resident of the United States, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a
corporation or an entity that is treated as a corporation for such purposes that is created or organized in or
under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, an estate, the income of which is
subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or a trust (i) that 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 (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.
Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. Person. A "Non-U.S. Person" is a person that is not a U.S.
Person, and a "Non-U.S. Limited Partner" is a Limited Partner (other than a partnership) that is not a U.S.
Person. This discussion does not constitute tax advice and is not intended to substitute for tax planning.
If a partnership holds an Interest in the Partnership, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend
upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners of a partnership holding an
Interest should consult their own tax advisors.
EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH
RESPECT TO THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE AND OWNERSHIP OF INTERESTS.
Partnership Status Subject to the discussion of "publicly traded partnerships" set forth below, under
U.S. Treasury regulations, a non-U.S. "eligible entity" (such as the Partnership) that has two or more
members can generally elect to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The
General Partner intends to treat the Partnership as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The
classification of an entity as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes may not be respected for
U.S. state or local tax purposes.
An entity that would otherwise be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes may
nonetheless be classified as an association taxable as a corporation if it is a "publicly traded partnership."
The General Partner intends to conduct the activities of the Partnership to ensure that the Partnership is
not treated as a publicly traded partnership. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, U.S. counsel to the
Partnership, will render an opinion, based on undertakings and representations of the General Partner and
subject to limitations and qualifications, to the effect that the Partnership will be classified as a
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The discussion herein assumes such treatment applies.
An organization that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not subject to
U.S. federal income tax itself, although it generally must file an annual information return.
Legislation was recently enacted that significantly changes the rules for U.S. federal income tax audits of
partnerships. Such audits will continue to be conducted at the partnership level, but with respect to tax
returns for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and, unless a partnership qualifies for and
affirmatively elects an alternative procedure, any adjustments to the amount of tax due (including interest
and penalties) will be payable by the partnership. Under the alternative procedure, if elected, a
partnership would issue information returns to persons who were partners in the audited year, who would
then be required to take the adjustments into account in calculating their own tax liability, and the
partnership would not be liable for the adjustments. If the Partnership is able to and in fact elects the
alternative procedure for a given adjustment, the amount of taxes for which such persons will be liable
will be increased by any applicable penalties and a special interest charge.

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001959
EFTA00237590
Regulatory. Tax andERISA Considerations
There can be no assurance that the Partnership will be eligible to make such an election or that it will, in
fact. make such an election for any given adjustment. If the Partnership does not or is not able to make
such an election, then (I) the then current Partners, in the aggregate, could indirectly bear income tax
liabilities in excess of the aggregate amount of taxes that would have been due had the Partnership elected
the alternative procedure, and (2) a given Partner may indirectly bear taxes attributable to income
allocable to other Partners or former Partners, including taxes (as well as interest and penalties) with
respect to periods prior to such Partner's ownership of Interests of the Partnership. Accordingly, it is
possible that a Partner will bear tax liabilities unrelated to its ownership of Interests. Amounts available
for distribution to the Partners may be reduced as result of the Partnership's obligations to pay any taxes
associated with an adjustment.
The partnership representative of the Partnership will be the only person with the authority to act on
behalf of the Partnership with respect to audits and certain other tax matters and may decide not to elect
(or may be unable to elect) the alternative procedure for any particular adjustment. In addition, the
Partnership and each Partner will be bound by the actions taken by the partnership representative on
behalf of the Partnership during any audit or litigation proceeding concerning U.S. federal income taxes.
Many issues and the overall effect of this new legislation on the Partnership are uncertain, and investors
should consult their own tax advisors regarding all aspects of this legislation as it affects their particular
circumstances.
Taxation of U.S Limited Partners Each U.S. Limited Partner will be required to take into account, as
described below, its distributive sham of each item of the Partnership's income, gain, loss, deduction, and
credit for each taxable year of the Partnership ending with or within the U.S. Limited Partner's taxable
year. See "—Allocations of Income, Gain, Loss and Deduction." Generally, each item will have the
same character and the same source (either U.S. or non-U.S.) as though the U.S. Limited Partner realized
the item directly. U.S. Limited Partners must report these items regardless of the extent to which, or
whether, they receive cash distributions from the Partnership for such taxable year.
The Partnership may (i) invest in certain securities, such as original issue discount obligations, preferred
stock with redemption or repayment premiums, "Section 1256 contracts" or equity in controlled foreign
corporations, other non-U.S. entities or entities treated as transparent for tax purposes, or (ii) engage in
taxable transactions such as debt restructurings or foreclosures that could cause the Partnership, and
consequently the U.S. Limited Partners, to recognize taxable income without receiving any cash. Thus,
taxable income allocated to a U.S. Limited Partner may exceed cash distributions, if any, made to such
U.S. Limited Partner, in which case such U.S. Limited Partner may have to satisfy tax liabilities arising
from an investment in the Partnership from a U.S. Limited Partner's own funds.
In addition, the Partnership may purchase debt instruments with "market discount." Under the market
discount rules, the Partnership will be required to treat any gain on the sale, exchange or redemption of a
debt instrument as ordinary• income to the extent of the market discount that has not previously been
included in income and is treated as having accrued on such debt instrument at or prior to the time of such
payment or disposition. In addition, a Limited Partner may be required to defer the deduction of a portion
of the interest expense on borrowing used to purchase Interests in the Partnership to the extent allocable
to market discount debt instruments. Market discount in respect of a debt instrument is generally
considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of acquisition to the maturity date of such
debt instrument, unless the holder elects to accrue market discount on the debt instrument under the
constant yield method.
Subject to the treatment of certain foreign currency gain or loss as ordinary income or loss (described
below) and the treatment of market discount (described above), the Partnership's gain or loss from
securities transactions generally will be capital gain or loss. Such capital gain or loss may be long-term or
F R3053, I_
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 113
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001960
EFTA00237591
Regulatory. Tax andERISA Considerations
short-term depending, in general, upon the holding period for the relevant security and, in some cases,
upon the nature of the transaction. The application of certain rules relating, among other things, to
"constructive sales," "short sales," "straddles" and "Section 1256 contracts" may affect the holding period
for a particular security or otherwise affect the characterization of certain capital gain or loss as long-term
or short-term, or affect the timing of the recognition of certain capital gain or loss. Moreover, the straddle
rules and short sale rules may require the capitalization of interest and certain other carrying charges of
the Partnership attributable to its investments in certain securities positions.
With respect to U.S. Limited Partners who are individuals, certain dividends paid by a corporation,
including certain qualified foreign corporations, may be subject to reduced rates of taxation. A qualified
foreign corporation includes a non-U.S. corporation that is eligible for the benefits of specified income
tax treaties with the United States. In addition, a non-U.S. corporation is treated as a qualified foreign
corporation with respect to dividends received from that corporation on shams that are readily tradable on
an established securities market in the United States. U.S. Limited Partners who are individuals will not
be eligible for reduced rates of taxation to the extent of Subpart F inclusions described in Sections 951
and 952 of the Code or to the extent the payor is a PFIC (as defined below) in the taxable year in which
such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year. Prospective investors should consult their own
tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing rules to their particular circumstances.
U.S. Limited Partners that arc individuals, estates or 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, 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 the
Partnership will be included in a U.S. Limited Partner's "net investment income" subject to this Medicare
tax.
Partnership Distributions Distributions of cash (including in certain circumstances distributions of
certain -marketable securities" treated as cash distributions) from the Partnership to a U.S. Limited
Partner in any year will reduce the adjusted basis of a U.S. Limited Partner's Interest by the amount of
such cash distribution. For these purposes, a reduction in a Partner's share of the Partnership's debt, such
as when a new Partner is admitted to the Partnership, will result in a deemed cash distribution to the
Partner in an amount equal to the reduction. To the extent such distributions exceed the adjusted basis of
a U.S. Limited Partner's Interest, such U.S. Limited Partner will be treated as having recognized gain
from the sale or exchange of such Interest. In general, distributions (other than liquidating distributions)
of property other than cash will reduce the adjusted basis (but not below zero) of a U.S. Limited Partner's
Interest by the amount of the Partnership's adjusted basis in such property immediately before its
distribution, but will not result in the realization of taxable income to the U.S. Limited Partner.
Basis A U.S. Limited Partner's adjusted basis in its Interest in the Partnership is, in general, equal to the
amount of cash or other property the U.S. Limited Partner has contributed to the Partnership, increased by
the U.S. Limited Palmer's proportionate share of income and liabilities of the Partnership, and decreased
by the U.S. Limited Partner's proportionate share of cash distributions, losses and reductions in such
liabilities. Each U.S. Limited Partner will (subject to certain limits discussed below) be entitled to deduct
its allocable share of the Partnership's losses to the extent of its adjusted basis in its Interest at the end of
the tax year ofthe Partnership in which such losses are recognized.
Allocations ofIncome, Gain, Loss and Deduction. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, items of the
Partnership's income, gain, loss and deduction are allocated so as to take into account the varying
interests of the Partners in the Partnership. Treasury regulations provide that allocations of items of
partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit will be respected for tax purposes if such allocations
ER305378-MAXWELL
114 Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001961
EFTA00237592
Regulatory. Tax andERISA Considerations
have "substantial economic effect" or are determined to be in accordance with the partners' interests in a
partnership. The Partnership believes that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, allocations pursuant to
the Partnership Agreement should be given effect, and the General Partner intends to prepare tax
information returns based on such allocations. If the IRS were to redetermine the allocations to a
particular U.S. Limited Partner, such re-determination could be less favorable than the allocations set
forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Limitations on Losses. While the Partnership is not intended as a "tax shelter," it is possible that losses
and expenses could exceed the Partnership's income and gain in a given year. The ability of a U.S.
Limited Partner to deduct such a net loss, and certain other partnership items, against its taxable income
from other sources may be subject to a number of limitations under the Code. For example, each U.S.
Limited Partner will not be entitled to deduct its share of the Partnership's losses in excess of its adjusted
basis at the end of the tax year of the Partnership in which such losses are recognized. Other limitations
include, for certain investors, such as individuals, the "at risk" rules of Section 465 of the Code and the
limitations on miscellaneous itemized deductions under Section 67 of the Code. Additionally, individuals
will be subject to limitations on interest deductions under Section 163 of the Code and the limitations on
passive activity losses of Section 469 of the Code. Further, Section 470 of the Code may limit losses
allocated to partners by partnerships that lease property to tax-exempt lessees in certain circumstances.
Because of some of these limitations, it is possible that, if the Partnership has losses and income from
different types of activities, certain investors may not be able to use losses from the Partnership to reduce
income therefrom.
Deductibility of Partnership Investment Expenditures by Individual Partners and by Trusts and
Estates. Subject to certain exceptions, all miscellaneous itemized deductions of an individual taxpayer,
and certain of such deductions of an estate or trust, are deductible only to the extent that such deductions
exceed 2% of the taxpayer's adjusted gross income. Moreover, the otherwise allowable itemized
deductions of an individual taxpayer whose adjusted gross income exceeds an applicable threshold
amount are subject to reduction by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 3% of the excess of such
individual's adjusted gross income over the threshold amount or (ii) 80% of the amount of the itemized
deductions otherwise allowable. Otherwise allowable deductions with respect to all or part of the
organizational and operating expenses of the Partnership and the Management Fee and any other amounts
treated as compensation paid to the General Partner or the Investment Advisor, as applicable, may be
treated as miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to the foregoing rule.
Organization, Management and Syndication Expenses In general, neither the Partnership nor any U.S.
Limited Partner may deduct organization or syndication expenses. An election may be made by a
partnership to amortize organizational expenses over a I80-month period and the Partnership intends to
make such election. Syndication fees (which would include any sales or placement fees or commissions),
however, must be capitalized and cannot be amortized or otherwise deducted. U.S. Limited Partners may
claim ordinary deductions for Management Fees paid to the Investment Advisor but the IRS may take the
view that such amounts must be capitalized and treated as part of the cost of an investment made by the
Partnership.
Sale or Disposition ofLimitedPartner Interests. A U.S. Limited Partner that sells or otherwise disposes
of an Interest in the Partnership in a taxable transaction generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the
difference, if any, between the adjusted basis of the Interest and the amount realized from the sale or
disposition. The amount realized will include the amount by which the U.S. Limited Partner's share of
the Partnership's liabilities outstanding at the time of the sale or disposition is reduced as a result of the
sale or disposition. If the U.S. Limited Partner holds the Interest as a capital asset, such gain or loss will
generally be treated as capital gain or loss to the extent a sale of assets by the Partnership would qualify
for such treatment. Gain from the sale or other disposition of an Interest will be treated as ordinary
income to the extent of the U.S. Limited Partner's distributive share of any "unrealized receivables" and
ER305378-MAX WE LI_
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 115
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001962
EFTA00237593
Regulatory. Tax andERISA Considerations
"inventory items." Gain or loss from the disposition of an Interest will generally be long-term capital
gain or loss if the U.S. Limited Partner had held the Interest for more than one year on the date of such
sale or disposition; provided, that a Capital Contribution by the U.S. Limited Partner within the one-year
period ending on such date may cause part of such gain or loss to be short term. In addition, if the Capital
Contribution of a new Limited Partner is distributed to the Partners (other than such new Limited
Partner), such as in the case of a Limited Partner admitted in a subsequent closing, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, such distributions will likely be treated as a taxable sale of a portion of their
Interests by U.S. Limited Partners receiving such distributions. Long-term capital gain of individuals are
generally taxed at reduced rates, but could be taxed at a rate of 25% to the extent any of such gain is
attributable to depreciation that is not recaptured as ordinary income.
In the event of a sale or other transfer of an Interest at any time other than the end of the Partnership's
taxable year, the share of income and losses of the Partnership for the year of transfer attributable to the
Interest transferred will be allocated for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the discretion of the General
Partner between the transferor and the transferee on either an interim closing-of-the-books basis or a pro
rata basis reflecting the respective periods during such year that each of the transferor and the transferee
owned the Interest.
Foreign Tax Credit Limits U.S. Limited Partners will generally be entitled to a foreign tax credit with
respect to creditable non-U.S. taxes paid on the income and gains of the Partnership. Complex rules may,
however, depending on each U.S. Limited Partner's circumstances, limit the availability or use of foreign
tax credits. Further, except for a corporate U.S. Limited Partner that is viewed as owning 10% of the
voting securities of a non-U.S. corporation, U.S. Limited Partners will generally not be entitled to an
indirect foreign tax credit under Section 902 of the Code with respect to dividends paid to the Partnership
by such non-U.S. corporations. Certain losses arising from the Partnership may be treated as foreign
source losses which could reduce the amount of foreign tax credits otherwise available.
Foreign Currency Gain or Loss The Partnership's functional currency will be the Euro, and income or
loss of the Partnership will be calculated in Euros. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the case of a
Limited Partner whose functional currency is not the Euro (a "Non-Euro Limited Partner"), the Non-Euro
Limited Partner's distributive share of income or loss of the Partnership generally will be translated from
Euros into such Non-Euro Limited Partner's functional currency at the "appropriate exchange rate" under
the tax law. The appropriate exchange rate is generally the average exchange rate for the Partnership's
taxable year. Income attributable to dividends, however, is translated into a Non-Euro Limited Partner's
functional currency for tax purposes at the spot rate when the income is included in such Non-Euro
Limited Partner's income, and other special rules may apply. In addition, Non-Euro Limited Partners will
generally be required to account for foreign currency gain or loss in connection with Partnership
distributions.
The Partnership may also engage in substantial transactions involving non-Euro foreign currencies, and
the Partnership and the U.S. Limited Partners may experience significant foreign currency gain or loss
with respect to the Partnership's Investments. In general, subject to certain exceptions, foreign currency
gain or loss is treated as ordinary income or loss. U.S. Limited Partners should consult with their
individual tax advisors with respect to the tax treatment of foreign currency gain or loss.
Issues Relating to Non-US Corporations U.S. Limited Partners may be subject to special rules
applicable to indirect investments in non-U.S. corporations, including investments in "controlled %reign
corporations" ("CFCs") and "passive foreign investment companies" ("PFICs"), both described
immediately below.
Controlled Foreign Corporations. If a U.S. Person, including any U.S. Limited Partner owns
actually or constructively at least 10% of the voting stock of a non-U.S. corporation, such U.S.
r-R305378-MA: I L-
116 Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001963
EFTA00237594
Regulatory. Tax and ERISA Considerations
Person is considered a "United States Shareholder" with respect to the non-U.S. corporation. If
United States Shareholders in the aggregate own more than 50% of the voting power or value of
the stock of such corporation, the non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a CFC. If the
corporation qualifies as a CFC for an uninterrupted period of 30 days or more during the taxable
year, the United States Shareholders of the CFC would generally be subject to current U.S. tax on
certain types of income of the non-U.S. corporation (e.g., dividends, interest, certain rents and
royalties, gain from the sale of property producing such income, certain income from sales and
services), regardless of cash distributions from the company. In addition, gain on the sale of the
CFC's stock by a United States Shareholder (during the period that the corporation is a CFC and
thereafter for a five-year period) would be classified in whole or in part as a dividend. It is
possible that one or more of the non-U.S. corporations in which the Partnership invests may be
classified as CFCs and that a U.S. Limited Partner may be treated as a U.S. Shareholder.
Passive Foreign Investment Companies. U.S. tax law contains special provisions dealing with
PFICs. A PFIC is defined as any non-U.S. corporation in which either (i) 75% or more of the
gross income for the taxable year is "passive income" or (ii) 50% or more of its assets (by value)
produce, or are held for the production of, "passive income." There are no minimum stock
ownership requirements for PFICs. Once a corporation qualifies as a PFIC with respect to a
United States Person, it is, subject to certain exceptions, always treated as a PFIC with respect to
such United States Person, regardless of whether it satisfies either of the qualification tests in
subsequent years. If the Partnership were to invest in a PFIC, any gain on disposition of stock of
the PFIC as well as income realized on certain "excess distributions" by the PFIC would be
treated as though realized ratably over the shorter of a U.S. Limited Partner's holding period of its
Interest or the Partnership's holding period for the PFIC. Such gain or income would be taxed as
ordinary income. hi addition, an interest charge would be imposed on the U.S. Limited Partner
on the tax deferred from prior years. If the Partnership were to invest in a PFIC and a U.S.
Limited Partner elected to treat its interest in the PFIC as a "qualified electing fund" (a "QEF")
under the Code, in lieu of the foregoing treatment, such U.S. Limited Partner would be required
to include in income each year a portion of the ordinary earnings and net capital gains of the
qualified fund, even if not distributed to the Partnership or the U.S. Limited Partners. To make
such election, the PFIC must, among other things, supply the U.S. Limited Partner and with an
information statement. Alternatively, an election may be made in the case of certain -marketable
stock" to "mark to market" the stock of a PFIC on an annual basis. Pursuant to such an election,
a U.S. Limited Partner would include in income each year as ordinary income the excess, if any,
of the fair market value of the stock at the end of the taxable year over the Partnership's adjusted
basis and will be permitted an ordinary loss deduction in respect of the excess, if any, of the
adjusted basis of the stock over its fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the
extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the election). Them can be
no assurance that a company in which the Partnership invests will not qualify as a PFIC, that a
PFIC in which the Partnership does invest will provide the information necessary for a QEF
election to be made or that the stock of a PFIC will qualify as "marketable stock."
Certain Reporting Requirements. U.S. Limited Partners may be subject to substantial penalties if they
fail to comply with special information reporting requirements with respect to their investments in the
Partnership. In addition, U.S. Persons that own stock in non-U.S. corporations, including CFCs and
PFICs, through the Partnership are subject to special reporting requirements under the Code.
Under regulations issued by the IRS, taxpayers engaging in certain transactions, including certain loss
transactions above a threshold, may be required to include tax shelter disclosure information with their
annual U.S. federal income tax return. It is possible that the Partnership may engage in transactions that
ER305378-MAXWELL
Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V 117
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001964
EFTA00237595
Regulatory. Tax andERISA Considerations
subject the Partnership and potentially its Partners to such disclosure. A U.S. Limited Partner disposing
of an Interest in the Partnership at a taxable loss may also be subject to such disclosure.
Under legislation enacted in 2010, U.S. individuals (and possibly certain entities) must file certain
information with their annual U.S. federal income tax return regarding interests they hold in foreign
entities (such as the Partnership) or accounts worth more than $50,000 at any time during the year. In
addition, a U.S. Person with a financial interest in, or signature or other authority over, non-U.S. financial
accounts must file an annual Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (an "FBAR") if the
aggregate value of those accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the year. Under the FBAR
regulations finalized in 2011, ownership by a U.S. person of an interest in a foreign private fund entity is
not currently subject to FBAR reporting, but the regulations continue to reserve on the application of the
FBAR rules to such interests. Depending on the nature of future guidance, it is possible any such U.S.
Limited Partners would also be subject to the FBAR filing requirements. Potential investors should
discuss the application of the above rules with their own advisors in light of their individual
circumstances.
PROSPECTIVE U.S. LIMITED PARTNERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX
ADVISORS REGARDING THE ABOVE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
Tax-Exempt U.S Investors. Qualified pension, profit-sharing and stock bonus plans, educational
institutions and other tax-exempt entities (including private foundations as discussed below) are subject to
U.S. federal income taxation on their unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI"). Subject to certain
exceptions described below, UBTI is defined as the gross income derived by such a tax-exempt entity
from an unrelated trade or business (including a trade or business conducted by a partnership of which the
tax-exempt entity is a partner), less the deductions directly connected with that trade or business. Subject
to the discussion below relating to debt-financed income, UBTI generally does not include dividends,
interest, certain types of rents from real property and gain or loss derived from the sale of property (other
than gain or loss derived from the sale of inventory and property sold to customers in the ordinary course
of a trade or business). UBTI does include operating income from certain asset categories (such as certain
hotel or senior living assets) owned directly or through entities treated as transparent for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. In addition, fee income actually received or deemed to be received by the
Partnership or the U.S. Limited Partners (including any fee income that might be deemed to be received
because, although paid to the Investment Advisor or its affiliates, such income results in a reduction in the
Management Fee) may be treated as UBTI in certain circumstances. The Partnership intends to take the
position that the U.S. Limited Partners do not share in fee income by virtue of such a reduction in the
Management Fee. In addition, if a tax-exempt entity's acquisition of an interest in a partnership is debt-
financed, or a partnership incurs "acquisition indebtedness" that is allocated to the acquisition of a
partnership investment, then UBTI generally includes a percentage of gross income (less the same
percentage of deductions) derived from such investment regardless of whether such income would
otherwise be excluded as dividends, interest, rents, gain or loss from the sale of eligible property or
similar income.
The percentage referred to above is, in the case of operating income, the average amount of acquisition
indebtedness for a taxable year with respect to property over the average adjusted basis for such year for
the property or, in the case of a sale of an investment, the highest amount of indebtedness outstanding for
the 12-month period prior to the sale with respect to the property over the average adjusted basis for such
year for the property. Acquisition indebtedness includes the amount of (i) any mortgage or lien to which
property is subject at the time of its acquisition and (ii) debt incurred after the acquisition or improvement
of any property if the debt would not have been incurred but for such acquisition or improvement and the
incurrence of the debt was reasonably foreseeable at the time of the acquisition or improvement.

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001965
EFTA00237596
Regulatory. Tax andERISA Considerations
The General Partner expects to form one or more non-U.S. entities (a "Feeder Fund") for investors,
including tax-exempt investors, for the purpose of making their investment in the Partnership or an
alternative investment vehicle through such entity. The Feeder Fund will elect to be treated as a
corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and hold Interests on the same terms as the other
investors in the Partnership or an alternative investment vehicle. A tax-exempt Limited Partner's income
from an investment in the Feeder Fund generally should not be treated as resulting in UBTI so long as
such investor's acquisition of interests in the Feeder Fund is not debt-financed. Because a tax-exempt
Limited Partner should be treated as owning stock in a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
its income for such purposes should consist of dividends and gain on sale of stock. Accordingly. a tax-
exempt Limited Partner's income from the Feeder Fund should not be treated as UBTI (assuming such
investor has not itself borrowed to acquire its investment in the Feeder Fund).
The Partnership expects to incur debt either directly or through entities through which the Partnership
invests. Generally, debt incurred by a partnership is attributed to its partners. Generally, however, debt
incurred by a corporation is not attributed to its shareholders, so that debt incurred through the Feeder
Fund should not be attributed to an investor's interest in the Feeder Fund. In addition, the Partnership or
the entities through which it invests may earn operating income that would be UBTI if earned by a tax-
exempt Limited Partner directly. Such income earned through the Feeder Fund, however, should not be
attributed to an investor's interest in the Feeder Fund. Although it is possible that the IRS could seek to
disregard the Feeder Fund and apply the debt-financed property or other UBTI rules to tax-exempt
Limited Partners, the Partnership believes that such treatment should not apply. Accordingly, a tax-
exempt Limited Partner's income from the Feeder Fund should not be treated as debt-financed income
under the UBTI rules (assuming such investor has not itself borrowed to acquire its investment in the
Feeder Fund) and should not be treated as UBTI by reason of the nature of such income in the hands of
the Feeder Fund or the Partnership.
If a U.S. tax-exempt Limited Partner is not otherwise taxable under the UBTI provisions with respect to
its interests in the Feeder Fund (for example, as debt-financed income), it would not be subject to tax
under the PFIC rules or the CFC rules. U.S. tax-exempt Limited Partners acquiring interests in the Feeder
Fund should consult their own tax advisors as to application of the above rules to their particular
situations. U.S. tax-exempt Limited Partners would generally be required to comply with certain
reporting requirements relating to the acquisition of an interest in the Feeder Fund. Failure to comply
with such reporting requirements could result in substantial penalties. See "—Certain U.S. Tax
Considerations—Taxation of U.S. Limited Partners—Certain Reporting Requirements" above. Potential
investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding all such reporting requirements.
Certain Issues Pertaining to Private Foundations In some instances, an investment in the Partnership
or the Feeder Fund by a private foundation could subject the private foundation to excise taxes to the
extent that the investment constitutes "excess business holdings" within the meaning of Section 4943 of
the Code. For example. if a private foundation (either directly or when aggregated with the holdings of its
disqualified persons) acquires more than 20% of the profits interest of the Partnership, the private
foundation's interest in the Partnership may be considered excess business holdings, unless the
Partnership does not meet the definition of a "business enterprise" within the meaning of Section
4943(dX3) of the Code (i.e., if least 95% of the Partnership's gross income is from passive sources within
the meaning of Section 4943(d)(3)(B) of the Code). A private foundation also may be subject to excise
taxes in respect of excess business holdings if it and its disqualified persons, in the aggregate own,
indirectly through the Partnership, more than 20% of the voting stock or equivalent in any business
enterprise owned by the Partnership. Private foundations should consult their own tax advisors regarding
the excess business holdings provisions and all other aspects of Chapter 42 of the Code as they relate to
an investment in the Partnership and the Feeder Fund.

Certain Issues Regarding Prohibited Tax Shelter Transactions. Certain tax-exempt investors may be
subject to an excise tax if the Partnership engages in a "prohibited tax shelter transaction" or a
"subsequently listed transaction" within the meaning of Section 4965 of the Code and such tax-exempt
investors are party to such a transaction. In addition, if the Partnership engages in a "prohibited tax
shelter transaction" which such tax-exempt investors are party to, such tax-exempt investors may be
subject to substantial penalties if they fail to comply with special disclosure requirements and managers
of such tax-exempt investors may also be subject to substantial penalties. Although the Partnership does
not expect to engage in any such transaction, the rules are subject to interpretation and therefore there can
be no assurance that the rules of Section 4965 will not apply to a tax-exempt Limited Partner. Tax-
exempt Limited Partners should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of Section 4965
of the Code.
Non-U.S Limited Partners. The Partnership intends to take the position that it is not engaged in a U.S.
trade or business for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on that position, Non-U.S. Limited
Partners that are not themselves engaged in a U.S. trade or business will generally not be subject to U.S.
federal income tax on interest and dividends from non-U.S. sources and gains from the sale or other
disposition of equity or debt securities or of real property located outside of the United States derived by
the Partnership. In addition, such Non-U.S. Limited Partners would generally not be subject to U.S.
federal income tax on distributions from the Partnership of operating income derived by the Partnership
from non-U.S. sources and generally would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a sale of their
Interest. Fee income actually received or deemed to be received by the Partnership or the Limited
Partners (including any fee income that might be deemed to be received because. although paid to the
General Partner or its affiliates, such income results in a reduction in the Management Fee) may cause the
Partnership and the Limited Partners to be treated as being engaged in a U.S. trade or business with
respect to such fee income. The Partnership intends to take the position, however, that the reductions
should not cause the Partnership and the Limited Partners to be treated as being engaged in a U.S. trade or
business.
FATCA. Under FATCA, all FFIs must comply with a complicated and expansive reporting regime or be
subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax on certain U.S. payments (and beginning in 2019, a 30% U.S.
withholding tax on gross proceeds from the sale of U.S. stocks and securities) and non-U.S. entities that
arc not FFIs must either certify that they have no substantial U.S. beneficial ownership or report certain
information with respect to their substantial U.S. beneficial ownership or be subject to a 30% U.S.
withholding tax on certain U.S. payments (and beginning in 2019, a 30% U.S. withholding tax on gross
proceeds from the sale of U.S. stocks and securities). The legislation also contains complex provisions
requiring participating FFIs to withhold on certain "foreign passthru payments" made to nonparticipating
FFIs and to holders that fail to provide the required information. The definition of a "foreign passthru
payment" is still reserved under the current regulations. however the term generally refers to payments
that arc from non-U.S. sources but that am "attributable to" certain U.S. payments and gross proceeds
described above. Withholding on these payments is not set to apply until 2019. In general, non-U.S.
investment funds, such as the Partnership, are considered FFIs. The reporting requirements imposed
under FATCA require FFIs to enter into agreements with the IRS to obtain and disclose information
about certain investors to the IRS or, if subject to an IGA, register with the IRS. IGAs are generally
intended to result in the automatic exchange of tax information through reporting by an FFI to the
government or tax authorities of the country in which such FF1 is domiciled, followed by the automatic
exchange of reported information with the IRS. The Partnership intends to comply, to the extent
reasonably practicable, with the reporting requirements to avoid the imposition of the U.S. withholding
tax, but in the event that it is unable to do so (because, for example, investors in the Partnership fail to
provide the Partnership with the required information), certain payments made to the Partnership or by the
Partnership may be subject to a U.S. withholding tax, which would reduce the cash available to investors
in the Partnership. Further, these reporting requirements may apply to underlying entities in which the
ER305378-MAXWELL

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001967

Regulatory. Tax andERISA Considerations
Partnership invests and the Partnership may not have control over whether such entities comply with the
reporting regime. Such withheld amounts that arc allocable to a Limited Partner may, in accordance with
the Partnership Agreement, be deemed to have been distributed to such Limited Partner to the extent the
taxes reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Limited Partner. Prospective investors should
consult their own tax advisors regarding all aspects of this legislation as it affects their particular
circumstances.
In addition, a number of items of legislation have been proposed in thc past that could significantly alter
certain of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Partnership. It currently is
uncertain whether any such proposed legislation (or similar legislation) will be enacted into law.
Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding proposed legislation.
The Cayman Islands FinancialInstitution ReportingRegime: US FATCA, UK FATCA and the OECD
Common Reporting Standard
The Cayman Islands has signed two inter-governmental agreements to improve international tax
compliance and the exchange of infommtion - one with the United States and one with the United
Kingdom (the "US IGA" and the "UK !GA", respectively). The Cayman Islands has also signed, along
with over 60 other countries, a multilateral competent authority agreement to implement the OECD
Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information — Common Reporting Standard (the
"CRS" and together with the US IGA and the UK IGA, "AEOI").
Cayman Islands regulations were issued on 4 July 2014 to give effect to the US IGA and the UK IGA,
and on 16 October 2015 to give effect to the CRS (collectively. the "AEOI Regulations"). Pursuant to the
AEOI Regulations, the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority (the "TIA") has published guidance
notes on the application of the US and UK IGAs and has the power to issue guidance in relation to the
CRS.
Generally, Cayman Islands "Financial Institutions" will be required to comply with the registration, due
diligence and reporting requirements of the AEOI Regulations, unless they can rely on an exemption that
allows them to become a "Non-Reporting Financial Institution" (as defined in the relevant AEOI
Regulations). The Partnership does not propose to rely on any reporting exemption and therefore intends
to comply with such requirements of the AEOI Regulations.
The AEOI Regulations require the Partnership to. amongst other things (i) register with the IRS to obtain
a Global Intermediary Identification Number or, if the Partnership is part of a sponsored compliance
approach, register with the IRS to obtain a Global Intermediary Identification Number by January I, 2017
(in each case, in the context of the US WA only), (ii) register with the TIA, and thereby notify the TIA of
its status as a "Reporting Financial Institution"; (iii) conduct due diligence on its accounts to identify
whether any such accounts are considered "Reportable Accounts", and (iv) report information on such
Reportable Accounts to the TIA. The TIA will transmit the information reported to it to the overseas
fiscal authority relevant to a reportable account (i.e. the IRS in the case of a US Reportable Account,
HMRC in the case of a UK Reportable Account, etc.) annually on an automatic basis.
For details on the US FATCA withholding tax regime see "Certain United States Tax Considerations".
By investing in the Partnership and/or continuing to invest in the Partnership, Limited Partners shall be
deemed to acknowledge that further information may need to be provided to the Partnership, the General
Partner and/or their agents, the Partnership's intended compliance with the AEO1 Regulations may result
in the disclosure of Limited Partner information, and Limited Partner information may be exchanged with
overseas fiscal authorities. Where a Limited Partner fails to provide any requested information
(regardless of the consequences), the Partnership acting by the General Partner reserves the right to take

any action and/or pursue all remedies at its disposal including, without limitation, compulsory withdrawal
of the Limited Partner concerned.
Taxes in Other Jurisdictions. In addition to U.S. federal income tax consequences, prospective investors
should consider potential U.S. state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Partnership in the
U.S. state or locality in which they are a resident for tax purposes. A Limited Partner may also be subject
to tax return filing obligations and income, franchise or other taxes, including withholding taxes, in
jurisdictions in which the Partnership operates or in jurisdictions of entities through which it makes
Investments. Income or gains from Investments held by the Partnership may be subject to withholding or
other taxes in jurisdictions outside the United States, subject to the possibility of reduction under
applicable treaties. Limited Partners that wish to claim the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty may
be required to submit information to tax authorities in such jurisdictions. Potential investors should
consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of an
investment in the Partnership.
Other Matters. The General Partner will be the "tax matters partner" with authority, subject to certain
restrictions, to act on behalf of the Partnership in connection with any administrative or judicial review of
the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Partnership's income, gains, losses, deductions or credits.
Each Limited Partner will be required to indemnify the Partnership for any tax obligations imposed on the
Partnership with respect to such Limited Partner's investment. The Partnership may escrow certain
amounts otherwise distributable to Limited Partners to protect itself against certain potential withholding
obligations. Subject to certain limits, tax credits and tax payments made by or allocated to the Partnership
(or any entity in which the Partnership invests that is treated as a firm -through entity for U.S. federal
income tax purposes) will, except in certain circumstances in the case of tax-exempt Limited Partners, be
deemed to have been distributed to the Limited Partners.
Certain ERISA Considerations
The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with an investment in the Partnership by
employee benefit plans that are subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"), plans, individual retirement accounts ("IRAs") and other arrangements that
are subject to Section 4975 of the Code or provisions under any other U.S. federal, state, local, non-U.S.
or other laws or regulations that arc similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively,
"Similar Laws"), and entities whose underlying assets are considered to include -plan assets" of any such
plan, account or arrangement (each, a "Plan').
General Fiduciary Matters ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons that are fiduciaries of
a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (an "ERISA Plan") and prohibit certain
transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties. Under
ERISA and the Code, any person that exercises any discretionary authority or control over the
administration of an ERISA Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of an ERISA Plan, or that
renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to an ERISA Plan, is generally considered to be
a fiduciary ofthe Plan.
In considering an investment in the Partnership of a portion of the assets of any Plan, a fiduciary should
determine, particularly in light of the risks and lack of liquidity inherent in an investment in the
Partnership, whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the
Plan and the applicable provisions ofERISA, the Code or any Similar Law relating to a fiduciary's duties
to the Plan including, without limitation, the prudence, diversification, delegation of control and
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws.
Furthermore, absent an exemption, the fiduciaries of a Plan should not invest in the Partnership with the
ER305378-MAXWELL
122 Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe V
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001969
EFTA00237600
Regulatory. Tax andERISA Considerations
assets of any Plan if the General Partner, the Investment Advisor, or any of their respective affiliates is a
fiduciary with respect to such assets of the Plan.
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans from engaging in specified
transactions involving plan assets with persons or entities that are "parties in interest," within the meaning
of ERISA, or "disqualified persons," within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code. The acquisition
and/or ownership of Interests by an ERISA Plan with respect to which the Partnership is considered a
party in interest or a disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited
transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the investment is
acquired and is held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction
exemption. In this regard, the U.S. Department of Labor (the "DOL") has issued prohibited transaction
class exemptions, or "PTCEs," that may apply to the acquisition and holding of investments in the
Partnership. These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE 84-14 respecting transactions
determined by independent qualified professional asset managers, PTCE 90-1 respecting insurance
company pooled separate accounts, PTCE 91-38 respecting bank collective investment funds, PTCE 95-
60 respecting life insurance company general accounts, and PTCE 96-23 respecting transactions
determined by in-house asset managers. Each of the above-noted exemptions contains conditions and
limitations on its application. Fiduciaries of ERISA Plans considering acquiring and/or holdings the
Interests in reliance of these or any other exemption should carefully review the exemption to assure it is
applicable. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied.
Plan Assets
Under ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Plan Asset Regulations"), when an
ERISA Plan acquires an equity interest in an entity that is neither a "publicly-offered security" nor a
security issued by an investment company registered under the 1940 Act, 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 either that less than 25% of the total value of each class of equity interests in the entity is held
by "benefit plan investors" as defined in Section 3(42) of ERISA (the "25% Test") or that the entity is an
"operating company," as defined in the Plan Asset Regulations. For purposes of the 25% Test, the assets
of an entity will not be treated as "plan assets" if, immediately after the most recent acquisition of any
equity interest in the entity, less than 25% of the total value of each class of equity interests in the entity is
held by "benefit plan investors," excluding equity interests held by persons (other than benefit plan
investors) with discretionary authority or control over the assets of the entity or who provide investment
advice for a fee (direct or indirect) with respect to such assets, and any affiliates thereof. The term
"benefit plan investors" is generally defined to include employee benefit plans subject to Title I of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code (including "Keogh" plans and IRAs), as well as any entity whose underlying
assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in such entity (e.g., an entity of which 25% or
more of the total value of any class of equity interests is held by benefit plan investors and which does not
satisfy another exception under ERISA). Thus, absent satisfaction of another exception under ERISA. if
25% or more of the total value of any class of equity interests of the Partnership were held by benefit plan
investors, an undivided interest in each of the underlying assets of the Partnership would be deemed to be
"plan assets" of any ERISA Plan that invested in the Partnership.
The definition of an "operating company" in the Plan Asset Regulations includes, among other things, a
"venture capital operating company" (a "VCOC") and a - real estate operating company" (a "REOC").
Generally, in order to qualify, as a VCOC, an entity must demonstrate on its "initial valuation date" (as
defined in the Plan Asset Regulations), and annually thereafter, that at least 50% of its assets, valued at
cost (other than short-term investments pending long-term commitment or distribution to investors), are
invested in operating companies (other than VCOCs) (i.e., operating entities that (x) are primarily
engaged directly, or through a majority owned subsidiary or subsidiaries, in the production or sale of a
product or service other than the investment of capital, or (y) qualify as "real estate operating companies,"
ER305378-MAXWELL

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00001970
EFTA00237601
Regulatory. Tax andERISA Considerations
as defined in the Plan Asset Regulations) in which such entity has direct contractual management rights.
In addition, to qualify as a VCOC, an entity must, in the ordinary course of its business, actually exercise
such management rights with respect to at least one of the operating companies in which it invests. The
Plan Asset Regulations do not provide specific guidance regarding what rights will qualify as
management rights, and the DOL has consistently taken the position that such determination can only be
made in light of the surrounding facts and circumstances of each particular case, substantially limiting the
degree to which it can be determined with certainty whether particular rights will satisfy this requirement.
Similarly, generally in order to qualify as a REOC, an entity must demonstrate on its initial valuation date
and annually thereafter that at least 50% of its assets, valued at cost. (other than short-term investments
pending long-term commitment or distribution to investors) are invested in real estate that is managed or
developed and with respect to which such entity has the right to substantially participate directly in the
management or development activities. In addition, to qualify as a REOC, an entity must, in the ordinary
course of its business, actually be engaged directly in such real estate management or development
activities.
Plan Asset Consequences
If the assets of the Partnership were deemed to be "plan assets" under ERISA, this would result, among
other things, in (i) the application of the prudence and other fiduciary responsibility standards of ERISA
to Investments made by the Partnership and (ii) the possibility that certain transactions in which the
Partnership might seek to engage could constitute "prohibited transactions" under ERISA and the Code.
If a prohibited transaction occurs for which no exemption is available, the General Partner, the Investment
Advisor and/or any other fiduciary that has engaged in the prohibited transaction could be sequined to (A)
restore to the ERISA Plan any profit realized on the transaction and (B) reimburse the ERISA Plan for
any losses suffered by the ERISA Plan as a result of the Investment. In addition, each disqualified person
(within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code) involved could be subject to an excise tax equal to 15%
of the amount involved in the prohibited transaction for each year the transaction continues and, unless
the transaction is corrected within statutorily required periods, to an additional tax of 100%. ERISA Plan
fiduciaries that decide to invest in the Partnership could, under certain circumstances, be liable for
prohibited transactions or other violations as a result of their investment in the Partnership or as co-
fiduciaries for actions taken by or on behalf of the Partnership or the General Partner. With respect to an
IRA that invests in the Partnership, the occurrence of a prohibited transaction involving the individual
who established the IRA, or his or her beneficiaries, would cause the IRA to lose its tax-exempt status.
The General Partner will use reasonable best efforts either to (i) limit equity participation by benefit plan
investors in the Partnership to less than 25% of the total value of each class of equity interests in the
Partnership as described above or (ii) to operate the Partnership in such a manner such that the
Partnership should qualify as a VCOC or REOC, in each case so that the underlying assets of the
Partnership should not constitute "plan assets" of any ERISA Plan that invests in the Partnership.
However, then; can be no assurance that, notwithstanding the reasonable best efforts of the General
Partner, the Partnership will qualify, as a VCOC or REOC or the underlying assets of the Partnership will
not otherwise be deemed to include ERISA plan assets.
Under the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner will have the power to take certain actions to avoid
having the assets of the Partnership characterized as "plan assets," including, without limitation, the right
to cause a Limited Partner that is a benefit plan to withdraw from the Partnership, the right to exclude a
Limited Partner that is a benefit plan from an Investment or to terminate any such plan's unused Capital
Commitments or the Partnership itself. While the General Partner and the Partnership do not expect that
the General Partner will need to exercise such power, neither the General Partner nor the Partnership can
give any assurance that such power will not be exercised.

Regulatory. Tax andERISA Considerations
Under certain circumstances certain investors may invest in the Partnership or one or more alternative
investment vehicles through an entity• or entities established by the General Partner or an affiliate thereof,
including a Feeder Fund (each such entity an -Intermediate Entity"). The discussion above under
"General Fiduciary Matters," "Plan Assets" and "Plan Asset Consequences" will be similarly applicable
to any investment made indirectly in the Partnership or an alternative investment vehicle through an
Intermediate Entity . However, no Intermediate Entity is expected to qualify as an "operating company"
for purposes of the Plan Asset Regulations and it is possible that an Intermediate Entity may not satisfy
the 25% Test, in which case the assets of such Intermediate Entity will constitute "plan assets" for
purposes of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. The General Partner intends to structure such a Feeder
Fund as an intermediate vehicle for purposes of an investment in the Partnership or an altemative
investment vehicle, as the ease may be, and limit any discretion with respect to the investment,
management and disposition of assets of such Intermediate Entity. In this regard, when investing in the
Partnership or an alternative investment vehicle through such an Intermediate Entity , each Limited
Partner will, by making a capital contribution or a loan to such an Intermediate Entity, be deemed to (i)
direct the general partner (or similar managing entity) of the Intermediate Entity to invest, directly or
indirectly through one or more Intermediate Entities, the amount of such capital contribution and the
proceeds of such loan, if any, in the Partnership or alternative investment vehicle, as the case may be, and
acknowledge that during any period when the underlying assets of the Intermediate Entity arc deemed to
constitute -plan assets" for purposes of the fiduciary responsibility or prohibited transaction provisions of
Title I of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable Similar Law, the general partner (or similar
managing entity) of the Intermediate Entity will act as a custodian with respect to the assets of such
Limited Partner but is not intended to be a fiduciary with respect to any such Limited Partner for purposes
of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable Similar Law and (ii) represent that such capital
contribution and loan, if any, and the transactions contemplated by such direction, will not result in a non-
exempt prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a violation of any
applicable Similar Law. However, there can be no assurance that the fiduciary and prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or applicable Similar Law will not be applicable to
activities of such Intermediate Entity. During any period when the underlying assets of an Intermediate
Entity are deemed to constitute -plan assets" of any ERISA Plan under ERISA, the general partner (or
similar managing entity) of the Intermediate Entity will, or will cause an affiliate of the general partner
(or similar managing member) to, hold the counterpart of the signature page of the Partnership Agreement
of the Partnership or partnership agreement (or similar governing document) of the alternative investment
vehicle, as the case may be, in the United States.
Reporting ofIndirect Compensation.
Under ERISA's general reporting and disclosure rules, ERISA Plans are required to include information
regarding their assets, expenses and liabilities. To facilitate a plan administrator's compliance with these
requirements, it is noted that the descriptions of the fees and expenses contained in this Memorandum,
including the descriptions of the Management Fee payable to the Investment Advisor and the Carried
Interest Distributions allocable to the General Partner, are intended to satisfy the disclosure requirements
for "eligible indirect compensation" for which the alternative reporting option on Schedule C of Form
5500 Annual Return/Report may be available.
The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all-inclusive. Each Plan fiduciary
should consult with its legal advisor concerning the considerations discussed above before making an
investment in the Partnership. As indicated above, Similar Laws governing the investment and
management of the assets of governmental or non-U.S. plans may contain fiduciary and prohibited
transaction requirements similar to those under ERISA and the Code (as discussed above). Accordingly,
fiduciaries of such governmental or non-U.S. plans, in consultation with their advisors, should consider

Methodology and (v) Projected Cash Flow through Maturity Methodology. The discounted cash flow
methodology ("DCr or "Income Approach") or performance multiple methodology ("Market
Approach") will generally be applied as the primary methodologies to value private investments. The
secondary methodology (e.g.. the Market Approach if a DCF served as the primary methodology) is
intended to support the conclusions reached under the primary approach. Blackstone will explain
differences between results of the income and market or other approaches utilizing quantitative and/or
qualitative information, as appropriate. Additionally. the firm-wide valuation committee will assess
whether consistent valuations are used for valuations across business units or areas where those business
units or areas are valuing the same investment. Investments that are publicly traded in active markets
and unrestricted are valued at the closing price of such securities in the principal market in which the
security trades. or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market (or the
applicable as-converted price) on the valuation date. Investments that arc publicly traded in active
markets and restricted are valued at the closing price as of the valuation date and discounts will be
considered for formal restrictions that limit the sale of the securities. Further information regarding

disposition of portfolio investments by the Underlying Fund, (ii) where a vote presented
by the Underlying Fund involves the selection, approval or disposition of portfolio
investments of the Underlying Fund, the Member Designee shall abstain from voting (to
the extent it deems it advisable to do so under the BHC Act) on any matter presented
by the Underlying Fund related to the selection, approval or disposition of portfolio
investments by the Underlying Fund in any Financial Company or their direct or indirect
holding companies and (iii) unless the Member Designee obtains the prior approval of
the Members following a reasonable opportunity for the Members to object, the

Interest) or Unaffiliated Fund Percentage (with respect to votes requiring approval by a
Majority (or other specified percentage) in Interest where such votes exdude Affiliated
Members), as the case may be, for such vote or approval shall be deemed, solely for the
purpose of such voting or approval, to be the lesser of (i) such Limited Voting Member's
Capital Account balance or Unaffiliated Fund Percentage, as the case may be, and (ii)
19.99%. The Member Designee will adjust the Capital Account balances or Unaffiliated
Fund Percentages of other Members pro rata to reflect the above adjustment with
respect to the vote or approval of Members on any such matter, such that (i) the sum of
the Unaffiliated Fund Percentages after such adjustment is equal to 100% or (ii) the
sum of such Capital Account Balances after the adjustment is equal to the sum of such
Capital Account Balances before the adjustment, as the case may be. Nothing in this
Section 2.1(0 shall be deemed to grant to the Members any rights to approve of or
consent to any matters that they do not otherwise have a right to approve of or consent
to hereunder.
(g) The Member Designee may in the future, in its sole discretion and without notice to the
Members, restructure the Fund or the Member Designee in order to comply with laws

Fund: (i) are subject, or (ii) will be subject upon engaging in a new business transaction.

without prior notice to, or consent from, the Members.

(induding fiduciary duties) and liabilities of a Covered Person to the Members and the
Fund otherwise existing at law or in equity, other than (x) such duties and liabilities as

provisions of the Agreement to the contrary, any Member may elect by written notice

of any Media Company within five (5) days receipt of the notice with respect thereto, in
which event the Member Designee shall notify the Underlying Fund GP not to distribute

the performance of services or any other activity by a Member to a Media Company

Member breaching the provisions of this Section 2.5 if such Member continues to hold
an Interest (the existence of the circumstances in (i) or (ii) hereafter referred to as an
"Attributable Event") then prior to the occurrence of an Attributable Event or, if prior

Attributable Event, or (B) if the Member Designee and such Member are unable to
prevent or resolve such Attributable Event, (1) such Member shall irrevocably Transfer,
and the Member Designee shall agree to such Transfer of, such Member's Interest (in
whole or, where the Member Designee determines that Transfer of less than the
Member's whole Interest would be sufficient to prevent attribution as a result of the
Attributable Event, in part) in accordance with Section 10.1 hereof to a trust that
satisfies the Fund's suitability requirements and that shall be established by such
Member at its expense under terms that are sufficient to prevent the attribution of an
ownership interest in such Media Company to such Member pursuant to the Attribution
Rules, or (2) if such Member is unable to irrevocably Transfer such Member's Interest in
accordance with the preceding clause, the Member Designee may Transfer such
Member's Interest to any other Person.

4.1. Portfolio Investments Generally.
(a) The Member Designee shall make Portfolio Investments on behalf of the Fund.
(b) The Member Designee is hereby authorized, but shall not be required, to cause the
Fund to make Portfolio Investments in the Underlying Fund. If the Member Designee
determines for any reason, in its discretion, not to make Portfolio Investments in the
Underlying Fund, induding, without limitation, due to an insufficient amount of Capital
Commitments prior to the Fund's commitment thereto, then the Member Designee may
cause the Fund to be dissolved as soon as is reasonably practicable.
(c) Following the termination of the Investment Period, no investments in the Underlying
Fund will be made by the Fund, provided, that Remaining Capital Commitments may be
drawn down from time to time (a) in order for the Fund to make further investments in

extent that such investments or payments are required under the Underlying Fund
Documents and (b) to satisfy Fund Expenses.
4.2. Borrowing. The Fund may borrow money, including: (a) in anticipation of receipt of Capital
Contributions pursuant to Section 5.2 (in which case all or a part of such Capital

the Fund's ability to make a capital contribution when due to the Underlying Fund (in which
case the amounts borrowed shall constitute a liability of the Fund for purposes of
determining the amount of Available Assets); (c) to satisfy any U.S. federal, state, local, or
non-U.S. tax liability of the Fund; (d) to satisfy any U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax

and on behalf of the Fund shall be authorized to pledge, mortgage, assign, transfer and
grant security interests in the assets of the Fund, the right to initiate Capital Calls and

time, the terms of its Capital Commitment to a Credit Provider, to honor Capital Calls made
by a Credit Provider in connection with the foregoing in accordance with the terms of this

counterclaim or offset of any kind, provided that such agreement to fund shall not act as a
waiver of any claim that such Member may have against any other Member or the Fund.
Each Member shall also use reasonable efforts to provide to the Fund and to a Credit
Provider, if necessary, information and representations necessary to ensure that the lending
arrangement will not constitute a non-exempt "prohibited transaction" under ERISA. In the
ER305378-MAXWELL 8-24
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00002046
EFTA00237677
event that, as a result of any such pledge, mortgage, assignment, transfer or grant of
security interest, a Member makes a payment directly to a Credit Provider as required
pursuant thereto, such payment shall be deemed to be a Capital Contribution of such
Member to the Fund.
4.3. Temporary Investments. To the extent commercially practicable, the Administrator shall
cause the Fund to invest cash held by the Fund in Temporary Investments pending
investment in the Underlying Fund, payment of Organizational Expenses or Fund Expenses
or distribution to Members. Income from Temporary Investments generally shall be subject

reasons cannot efficiently acquire or maintain an Interest, as an accommodation to such

the Members, the Member Designee may establish one or more investment vehicles
through which such Members may invest on a side by side basis with the Fund (any such
vehide, an "Parallel Fund"). Any Parallel Fund will be structured in a manner so that the
interests held by such investor, inclusive of rights and obligations, substantially
approximates in all material respects, an Interest in the Fund. If the Member Designee
determines that for legal, tax, accounting, regulatory or other reasons it is in the interest of
some or all of the Members that the investment in the Underlying Fund be made through
one or more Parallel Funds, the Member Designee shall be permitted, without the consent
of any Member, to permit or require, in certain circumstances, one or more Members to (i)
withdraw from the Fund and to acquire a substantially equivalent interest in a then-existing
Parallel Fund or new Parallel Fund and/or (ii) otherwise convert and/or exchange all or a
portion of a Member's Interest into or for an interest in a Parallel Fund. A conversion and/or
exchange of all or a portion of a Member's Interest into or for an interest in a Parallel Fund
(i) shall include a cancellation of all or an applicable portion of such Member's Interest and
(ii) may indude a redemption in-kind of such Member's Interest and a contribution to the
Parallel Fund of a portion of the assets of the Fund that the Member Designee determines is
attributable to such Member's Interest being so converted or exchanged. The Members will
be required to make capital contributions directly to each such Parallel Fund to the same
extent, for the same purposes and on the same terms and conditions as Members would
otherwise be required to make Capital Contributions to the Fund.
4.5. Alternative Vehicle. If the Member Designee determines that for legal, tax, accounting,
regulatory or other reasons it is in the interest of some or all of the Members that all or a
portion of the Fund's investment in the Underlying Fund be made through an alternative
investment structure or vehicle (any such structure or vehicle, an "Alternatiflhicie") the
Member Designee shall be permitted to structure the making of all or any portion of such
investment in the Underlying Fund outside of the Fund, by requiring any Member (i) to
make all or a portion of its indirect investment in the Underlying Fund through a
partnership or other vehicle or vehides (other than the Fund) that is expected to invest on a
parallel basis, subject to applicable legal, tax, accounting, regulatory or other
considerations, with or in lieu of the Fund, as the case may be or (ii) to contribute its
Interest in the Fund to an Alternative Vehicle in exchange for an interest in such Alternative
Vehicle. The Members will be required to make capital contributions directly to each such
Alternative Vehicle to the same extent, for the same purposes and on the same terms and
conditions as Members would otherwise be required to make Capital Contributions to the
Fund.

regulatory or other reasons it is in the interest of some or all of the Members that the Fund
be re-structured as a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership or other entity formed

Designee may take and/or cause the Members to take all actions necessary and desirable to
implement any such re-structuring at the cost of the Fund. The Members may be required
to make capital contributions directly to each such Cayman Vehicle to the same extent, for

Designee as will enable the Fund to fund its capital contribution and other obligations
with respect to the Underlying Fund, to pay Organizational Expenses and Fund Expenses
in respect of such Member's Interest and for any other purpose as the Member
Designee may deem appropriate. The amount so drawn shall be treated as such
Member's initial Capital Contribution to the Fund (the "Initial Capital Contribution").
At any time and from time to time thereafter, the Member Designee shall provide each
Member with a notice of each Capital Call (a "Capital Call Notice") not less than five (5)

Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Member Designee, on behalf of the Fund,
is entitled to call for Capital Contributions on less than five (5) calendar days notice to
the extent the Underlying Fund calls for a Capital Contribution from the Fund on less
than five (5) calendar days notice.
(b) Revised Capital Call Notices. Notwithstanding Section 5.2(a), if the actual Capital
Contribution to be paid by any Member changes after delivery of a Capital Call Notice
(e.g., due to a default by another Member), the Member Designee shall issue a revised
Capital Call Notice to such Member. Such Member shall pay any additional Capital
Contribution required thereby no later than on the Capital Call Date specified in such
revised Capital Call Notice.
(c) Payment of Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Capital
Contribution required to be made by any Member shall be made no later than on the
Capital Call Date specified in the relevant Capital Call Notice and shall equal the
amount specified in the Capital Call Notice.
ER305378-MAXWELL B-27
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00002049
EFTA00237680
(d) Use of Capital Contributions. As a result of Fund Expenses (including the Administrative
Fee and Underlying Fund Manager Fees and Expenses), the aggregate amount of each
Member's indirect investment in the Underlying Fund shall be less than the amount of
its Capital Contributions.
(e) Withdrawal from Brokerage Account. Each Member shall (unless the Member Designee
has waived such requirement with respect to such Member) establish and maintain an
account with an Affiliate of the Administrator designated by the Administrator (a
"Brokerage Account") from which all Capital Contributions to be paid by such Member
shall be transferred to the Fund. Payment by any Member of any Capital Contribution
must by made by wiring federal funds "for value" no later than the due date specified
in the Capital Call Notice to such Member's Brokerage Account. Each Member hereby
agrees to the withdrawal by the Member Designee of funds from such Member's
Brokerage Account in such amounts as are available and necessary to fund Capital
Contributions to be paid by such Member; provided that the terms and conditions
applicable to such Brokerage Account shall otherwise be governed by such Member's
Investor Application and any other agreement entered into with a broker/dealer Affiliate
of the Member Designee. Any Capital Contribution shall be treated as having been
received on the later of the due date specified in the Capital Call Notice and the date of
actual receipt by the Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, the Member Designee may instead direct Members to
pay any Capital Contributions by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the
Member Designee for such purpose, in which event such Capital Contributions shall be
treated as having been received on the date they are credited to such bank account.
(f) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Section 5.2 are intended solely to
benefit the Fund and the Members and, to the full extent permitted by applicable law,
shall not be construed as conferring any benefit upon any creditor of the Fund (and no
such creditor shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement), and no Member shall
have any duty or obligation to any creditor of the Fund to make any contributions to
the Fund pursuant to this Section 5.2 or to cause the Member Designee to deliver to
any Member a Capital Call Notice.
(g) Capital Commitments. Except to the extent required by any Credit Provider with
respect to a pledge under Section 4.2 of this Agreement or under the terms of the
Underlying Fund Documents, the Capital Commitments of Members shall be considered
"conditional" within the meaning of §18-502(b) of the Ad.
5.3. Members that Default on Capital Contributions.
(a) If any Member fails to make, in a timely manner, all or any portion of (I) any Capital
Contribution required to be made by such Member pursuant to Section 5.2 (or pursuant
to Sections 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 in the case of a Parallel Fund, Alternative Vehicle or Cayman
Vehicle, respectively), or (ii) any obligation to indemnify the Fund for certain taxes paid
on such Member's behalf by the Fund (a "Default") then such Member may be
designated by the Member Designee as in default under this Agreement (a "Defaulting
Member") and shall thereafter be subject to the provisions of this Section 5.3.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Member fails to make all or any portion of such
Capital Contribution when due, such Member may be assessed (as a debit to such
Member's Brokerage Account or otherwise), a late fee or other charge (including
without limitation, interest) on such outstanding amount in an amount to be
determined in the discretion of the Member Designee, in accordance with commercially
ER305378-MAXWELL B-28
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00002050
EFTA00237681
reasonable standards, for each day all or any portion of such Capital Contribution is
outstanding. The Member Designee may choose not to designate any Member as a
Defaulting Member and may agree to waive or permit the cure of any Default by a
Member, subject to such conditions as the Member Designee and the Defaulting
Member may agree upon.
(b) With respect to any Capital Contribution (or portion thereof) that is subject to a Default
(the "Defaulted Amount"), the Member Designee may (i) increase the Capital
Contributions of the Members that have made their corresponding Capital
Contributions (the "Non-Defaulting Members") pro rata based on their respective
Remaining Capital Commitments, to the extent necessary to fund the Defaulted
Amount, in accordance with Section 5.2(b), or (ii) cause the Fund to obtain (through a
borrowing or otherwise) such amounts as are necessary to fund the Defaulted Amount,
the cost of which may be assessed to the Defaulting Member, provided that, in the
event that the Fund is unable to recover such amounts from the Defaulting Member,
the Members may bear such amounts as Fund Expenses.
(c) With respect to the Remaining Capital Commitment of any Defaulting Member (the
"Defaulted Capital Commitment") the Member Designee may admit a Substitute
Member to assume all or a portion of the Defaulted Capital Commitment on such terms
and upon the delivery of such documents as the Member Designee may determine to
be appropriate. Thereupon, the Members (or the Member Designee) shall make such
revisions to the Member Register as may be necessary to reflect the change in Members
and Capital Commitments contemplated by this Section 5.3(c).
(d) The Member Designee may, in its sole discretion, take any or all of the following actions
with respect to a Defaulting Member: (i) freezing its Capital Account; (ii) causing it to
bear up to the full amount of any losses incurred by the Fund due to such Defaulting
Member's Default, to the extent of its Capital Account, but not share in any income or
gain; (iii) prohibiting the Defaulting Member from sharing in any future Capital Call with
respect to its Capital Commitment; (iv) without any further action by such Defaulting
Member, having its Interest sold or transferred to any other Person or Persons who may
be admitted as a Substitute Member pursuant to Section 5.3(c) (induding the Member
Designee, the Administrator or their Affiliates, or in a transaction in which the Member
Designee, the Administrator or one of their Affiliates is acting as agent or principal) at
whatever price or terms in the Member Designee's discretion (with none of the
proceeds, if any, of such sale inuring to the benefit of the Defaulting Member) and
allowing the transferee of such Interest to assume the Defaulting Member's Remaining
Capital Commitment; (v) re-allocating its Interest among non-Defaulting Members on
terms established by the Member Designee in its discretion; (vi) causing the
continuation of such Defaulting Member's obligations to pay its pro rata share of
Organizational Expenses and Fund Expenses as if the Default had not occurred;
(vii) accelerating the Remaining Capital Commitment of the Defaulting Member;
(viii) applying amounts otherwise distributable to such Member in satisfaction of all
amounts payable by such Member; (ix) reducing such Defaulting Member's Sharing
Percentage to zero; (x) withdrawing the Defaulted Amount from such Defaulting
Member's Brokerage Account or from any other account maintained by such Defaulting
Member with any Affiliate of the Administrator or the Member Designee to the extent
of available funds thereof; (xi) without any further action by such Defaulting Member,
having a lender (including the Member Designee, the Administrator and their Affiliates)
lend to the Defaulting Member all or any part of the funds required of the Defaulting
Member, which loan (A) shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (1) the highest
ER305378-MAXWELL B-29
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00002051
EFTA00237682
rate allowable under applicable law and (2) 18% per annum, compounded monthly,
from and after the original due date until the earliest payment of all amounts, (B) shall
be secured by the Defaulting Member's Interest in the Fund, the Defaulting Member's
interest in any other investment fund in which the Member Designee or an Affiliate has
a role, the Defaulting Member's Remaining Capital Commitment and the Defaulting
Member's Brokerage Account, (C) shall be repaid out of distributions to such Defaulting
Member, provided, however, that if such loan is not satisfied within 60 days after the
original due date or such longer period as the lender may agree to in its sole discretion,
it shall become due and payable automatically; (xii) without any further action by such
Defaulting Member, deeming it to have forfeited its Interest in full; and/or (xiii) any
other remedy available under sections 18-306 and 18-5O2(c) of the Act at law or in
equity to the Fund. The Member Designee may charge such Defaulting Member a late
fee on the Defaulted Amount and any other amounts not timely paid in an amount to
be determined in the discretion of the Member Designee, in accordance with
commercially reasonable standards, for each day all or any portion of such amounts are
outstanding. The Member Designee shall make such amendments and adjustments,
including amendments to this Agreement and adjustments to the distributions to and
Capital Accounts of the Members (including such Defaulting Member), as it determines
to be appropriate to give effect to the provisions of this Section 5.3. If a Member fails
to make any other payment when due pursuant to this Agreement, the Member
Designee, in its discretion, may exercise any and all of the rights or remedies set forth in
this Section 5.3(d) to which each Member, by its admission as a Member to the Fund,
hereby specifically consents, without further consent being required.
(e) The Member Designee shall have the right to pursue all remedies at law or in equity
available to it with respect to any Default, including remedies that may benefit the
Member Designee, the Administrator and their Affiliates to the exclusion of the Fund or
any non-Defaulting Members. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, each Member agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Fund in connection with the
enforcement of this Agreement against any Defaulting Member or otherwise as a result
of a Default by such Member and that any such payment shall not constitute a Capital
Contribution to the Fund. Amounts forfeited by a Defaulting Member and not
otherwise applied to the payment of costs and expenses in accordance with this Section
5.3, plus any late fee thereon, shall be credited or distributed to the Non-Defaulting
Members in proportion to their Sharing Percentages, unless the Member Designee
determines that the credit or distribution of such amounts is not appropriate under the
circumstances.
(f) Consents. Whenever the vote, consent or decision of a Member is required or
permitted pursuant to this Agreement or under the Act, a Defaulting Member shall not
be entitled to participate in such vote or consent, or to make such decision, and such
vote, consent or decision shall be tabulated or made as if such Defaulting Member were
not a Member.

account (a "Capital Account") for each Member.
6.2. Adjustments to Capital Accounts. As of the last day of each Period, the balance of each
Member's Capital Account shall be adjusted by (a) increasing such balance by (i) such
Member's allocable share of each item of the Fund's income and gain for such Period
(allocated in accordance with Section 6.9 and 6.10), induding income and gain from
Temporary Investments, (ii) the amount of Capital Contributions, if any, made by such
Member during such Period and (iii) the amount of the Fund's liabilities assumed by the
Member or secured by distributed assets that such Member takes subject to and
(b) decreasing such balance by (i) the amount of cash or the Value of Marketable Securities
or other property distributed to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, including a
return of unused capital and (ii) such Member's allocable share of each item of the Fund's

Each Member's Capital Account shall be further adjusted (without duplication) with respect
to any special allocations or adjustments pursuant to this Agreement.
6.3. Distributions. Distributable Cash shall be distributed among the Members based upon their
respective Sharing Percentages; provided that distributions to any Member shall, to the
extent necessary, be appropriately adjusted to adequately account for the difference, if any,
in each Member's share of Temporary Investment income and Fund Expenses and the
exclusion of a Subsequent Member from funding and participating in any portion of a
Portfolio Investment pursuant to Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.2(d).
6.4. Return of Unused Capital. If and to the extent that the Fund has Available Assets that have
not otherwise been distributed as of the date of the end of the Investment Period (or such
earlier date or dates determined by the Member Designee), the Member Designee shall
promptly liquidate any non-cash Available Assets and distribute the proceeds of all Available
Assets to the Members pursuant to Section 6.3.
6.5. General Distribution Provisions.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, distributions
shall be made only to the extent of Available Assets and in compliance with the Act and
other applicable law.
(b) Any distribution by the Fund pursuant to Artides VI and XI to the Person shown on the
Member Register as a Member or to such Person's legal representatives, or to the
Transferee of such Person's right to receive such distributions as provided herein, shall
acquit the Fund, the Administrator or the Member Designee of all liability to any other
Person that may be interested in such distribution by reason of any Transfer of such
Person's Interest for any reason (including a Transfer of such Interest by reason of the
death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of such Person).
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, any Distributable Cash shall be distributed to the
Members at such times as the Member Designee shall determine.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, during the
Term, prior distributions of Distributable Cash made pursuant to Section 6.3 may be
subject to recall and reinvestment by the Member Designee in its discretion.

CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00002053
EFTA00237684
6.6. Distributions in Kind. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, the Member Designee may make distributions of Marketable Securities and other
Securities during the Term or upon the winding-up of the Fund in accordance with Article
In the event that a distribution of Marketable Securities, other Securities or other
property is made, such Securities or property shall be deemed to have been sold at their
Value and the proceeds of such sale shall be deemed to have been distributed in the form
of Distributable Cash to the Members, for all purposes of this Agreement. Distributions of
Marketable Securities, other Securities or other property shall be made to all of the
Members pro raw based upon the aggregate amount that would be distributed to each
Member pursuant to Section 6.3, as determined by the Member Designee. The Member
Designee may cause certificates evidencing any Securities to be distributed to be imprinted
with legends as to such restrictions on Transfer as it may determine are necessary or
appropriate, including legends as to applicable securities laws or other legal or contractual
restrictions, and may require any Member to which Securities are to be distributed, as a
condition to such distribution, to agree in writing (a) that such Member will not Transfer
such Securities except in compliance with such restrictions and (b) to such other matters as
the Member Designee may determine are necessary or appropriate.
6.7. Negative Capital Accounts. No Member (other than a Defaulting Member) shall be required
to make up a negative balance in its Capital Account.
6.8. No Withdrawal of Capital. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (a) no
Member shall have the right to withdraw capital from the Fund or to receive any
distribution of or return on such Member's Capital Contributions and (b) no Member shall
be entitled to interest on such Member's Capital Contributions to the Fund with respect to
its Capital Account.
6.9. Allocations to Capital Accounts.
(a) General. Except as otherwise provided herein, each item of income, gain, loss,
deduction and credit of the Fund shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the
Members with respect to each Period, as of the last day of such Period, in a manner
such that the Capital Account of each such Member, immediately after making such
allocation, is, as nearly possible, equal (proportionately) to (i) the distribution that would
be made to such Member (or the amount that such Member would be required to
contribute to the Fund) if the Fund were to liquidate its assets at their book values and
distribute the proceeds in accordance with Section 11.2(bXiii), minus (ii) such Member's
share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain;
provided that the Administrative Fee shall be allocated among the Members in
accordance with the amount calculated with respect to each Member as provided in
Section 7.1 and Temporary Investment income and expenses shall, to the extent
necessary to reflect each Member's allocable share thereof, be allocated among the
Members as described in Section 10.2.
ER305378-MAXWELL B-32
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00002054
EFTA00237685
(b) Special Allocations.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI, if there is a net decrease
in Company Minimum Gain or Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during
any Period, each Member shall be specially allocated items of the income and gain
of the Fund for such Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Periods) in an amount
equal to its respective shares of such net decrease during such Period, determined
pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.7O4 -2(i)(5). The items
to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 6.9(b)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum
gain chargeback requirement in such Treasury Regulations Section and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith, including that no chargeback shall be required to
the extent of the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)
and 1.704-2(i)(4).
(ii) No loss or deduction or item thereof shall be allocated to any Member if, or to the
extent that, such allocation would create or increase a deficit in such Member's
Capital Account. For this purpose, a Member's Capital Account shall also be
reduced to account for the items described in clauses (4), (5) and (6) of Treasury
Regulations Section l.7O4-1(bX2)(iiXd). Any loss or deduction, the allocation of
which to any Member is prohibited by this Section 6.9(bXii), shall be reallocated to
other Members in proportion to their Sharing Percentages to the extent such
allocation is not prohibited by this Section 6.9(bXii).
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI other than Section
6.9(b)(i), to the extent required for allocations pursuant to this Article VI to have
substantial economic effect, a Member who unexpectedly receives an adjustment,
allocation or distribution described in clause (4), (5) or (6) of Treasury Regulations
Section l.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) will be allocated items of income and gain in an amount
and manner sufficient to eliminate as quickly as possible any deficit Capital Account
balance created for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) by
such adjustment, allocation or distribution.
(iv) Nonrecourse Deductions for any Period shall be allocated to the Members in
proportion to each Member's previous Capital Contributions.
(v) Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Period shall be specially allocated to
the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member
Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable
in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section I.7O4-2(iX1).
(vi) Syndication expenses and organization expenses (as defined in Section 709(a) of the
Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.709-2) for any Period shall be allocated to
the Capital Accounts of the Members so that, as nearly as possible, the cumulative
amount of such expenses allocated with respect to such Member corresponds to
the Member's Sharing Percentage; provided that the Placement Fee shall be
allocated among the Members in accordance with the amount calculated with
respect to each Member as provided in Section 1.10.
(c) The provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with Section 7O4(b) of the
Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and shall be interpreted
and applied in a manner consistent with such Section and such Treasury Regulations.
ER305378-MAXWELL B-33
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00002055
EFTA00237686
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Member
Designee shall make such allocations as may be required in order to comply with this
Section 6.9(c), and recognizing the complexity of the allocations pursuant to this
Section 6.9(c), the Member Designee is authorized to modify these allocations to ensure
that they achieve the intended results.
6.10. Transfer of or Change in Interests. The Member Designee is hereby authorized to adopt
any reasonable convention or combination of conventions for federal income tax purposes
regarding the allocation or special allocation of items of the income, gain, loss, deduction
and expense of the Fund with respect to a newly issued Interest, a Transferred Interest and
a redeemed Interest. A Transferee of an Interest shall succeed to the Capital Account of
the Transferor Member to the extent that it relates to the Transferred Interest.
6.11. Tax Allocations.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.11, for each Period, items of the Fund's
income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses shall be allocated, for federal, state and
local income tax purposes, among the Members in the same manner as such items are
allocated for book and accounting purposes.
(b) Income, gains, losses and deductions with respect to any property (other than cash)
contributed or deemed contributed to the capital of the Fund shall, solely for income
tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation
between the adjusted basis of such property to the Fund for federal income tax
purposes and its Value at the time of the contribution or deemed contribution in
accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. Such
allocations shall be made in such manner and utilizing such permissible tax elections as
determined by the Member Designee.
If there is a revaluation of the property of the Fund, subsequent allocations of income,
gains, losses or deductions with respect to such property shall be allocated among the
Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such
property to the Fund for federal income tax purposes and its Value in accordance with
Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. Such allocations shall be
made in such manner and utilizing such permissible tax elections as determined by the
Member Designee.
(c) Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.11 are solely for federal, state and local tax
purposes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any
Member's Capital Account or allocable share of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit
(or items thereof).
6.12. Agreement to Be Bound by Tax Treatment. The Members acknowledge that they are aware
of the tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article VI and hereby agree to be
bound by the provisions of this Article VI in reporting their respective shares of items of the
Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and expense.
6.13. Determinations by the Tax Matters Partner.
(a) All matters concerning the computation of Capital Accounts, the allocation of items of
the Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and expense for all purposes of this Agreement
and the adoption of any accounting procedures not expressly provided for by the terms
ER305378-MAXWELL B-34
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00002056
EFTA00237687
of this Agreement shall be determined by the Tax Matters Partner. Such determinations
shall be final and conclusive as to all Members. Without in any way limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if and to the extent that, for income tax purposes, any item
of income, gain, loss, deduction or expense of any Member, or the Fund is
constructively attributed to the Fund or any Member, as applicable, or any contribution
to or distribution by the Fund or any payment by any Member or the Fund is re-
characterized, the Tax Matters Partner may determine to specially allocate items of
income, gain, loss, deduction and expense or make correlative adjustments to the
Capital Accounts of the Members in a manner so that the net amount of income, gain,
loss, deduction and expense realized by each relevant party (after taking into account
such special allocations) and the net Capital Account balances of the Members (after
taking into account such special allocations and adjustments) shall, as nearly as possible,
be equal to the amount of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense, as applicable,
that would have been realized by each relevant party and the Capital Account balances
of the Members that would have existed if such attribution or re-characterization and
the application of this sentence had not occurred. Notwithstanding anything expressed
or implied to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the Tax Matters Partner
determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or
any debits or credits thereto, are computed in order to effectuate the intended
economic sharing arrangement of the Members, the Tax Matters Partner may make
such modification.
(b) The Tax Matters Partner is hereby authorized and empowered to make on behalf and in
the name of the Fund any election, and to prepare or have prepared, to execute or have
executed and to file, on behalf and in the name of the Fund, any returns, applications
and other instruments and documents which it deems in its discretion desirable or
advisable in connection with determining such allocations. The Tax Matters Partner may
cause the Fund to make all elections required or permitted to be made by the Fund in
its discretion; provided that the Tax Matters Partner shall not permit the Fund to elect,
and the Fund shall not elect, to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for
U.S. federal, state or local income tax purposes under Treasury Regulations Section
301.7701-3(a) or under any corresponding provision of State or local law. The Tax
Matters Partner may determine to cause the Fund to make the election under Section
754 of the Code.
6.14. Tax Matters Partner. The Member Designee or any Qualified Replacements appointed
pursuant to Section 2.1(c) hereof is hereby appointed as the "tax matters partner" of the
Fund, as provided in the Treasury Regulations pursuant to Section 6231 of the Code (as in
effect prior to the effective date of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (the "Budget Act"),
or the "partnership representative" for all purposes of Section 6223 of the Code as in
effect following the effective date of the Budget Act),and any similar provisions under any
other State or local or non-U.S. tax laws, and in such capacity referred to as the "Tax
Matters Partner." Each Member hereby consents to such appointment or designation and
agrees that upon the request of the Tax Matters Partner it will execute, certify,
acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record at the appropriate public offices such
documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent. Each Member
further agrees that such Member shall not treat any Fund item on such Member's individual
income tax return in a manner which is inconsistent with the treatment of such item on the
Fund's tax return (or with the treatment of the item on any statement of such Member's
share of any adjustment to income, gain, loss, deduction or credit furnished to such
Member by the Fund in accordance with Section 6226 of the Code, as enacted in the
Budget Act). At the request of the Tax Matters Partner in connection with an adjustment of
ER305378-MAXWELL B-35
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00002057
EFTA00237688
any item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of the Fund or any partnership in which
the Fund invests, directly or indirectly, each Member shall promptly file one or more
amended returns in the manner contemplated by Code Section 6225(c) (as in effect
following the Budget Ad) and any Regulations or other guidance that may be promulgated
or issued in the future relating thereto and pay any tax due with respect to such returns. If
the Tax Matters Partner makes an election pursuant to Code Section 6226 (as in effect
following the Budget Act) with respect to an imputed underpayment, each Member shall
comply with the requirements under such section (and any Regulations or other guidance
that may be promulgated or issued in the future relating thereto). At the request of the Tax
Matters Partner, each Member shall provide the Tax Matters Partner and the Fund with any
information available to such Member and with such representations, certificates, or forms
relating to such Member (or its direct or indirect owners or account holders) and any other
documentation, in each case, that the Tax Matters Partner determines, in its sole discretion,
are necessary to make certain elections or modify imputed underpayments pursuant to the
rules of Chapter 63 of the Code (as in effect following the Budget Ad) or the Regulations
or other official guidance thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, any information, representations, certificates, forms, or documentation so
provided may be disclosed to any applicable taxing authority. The foregoing covenants of
the Members shall survive indefinitely and shall not terminate, without regard to any
transfer or redemption of a Member's Interest, withdrawal as a Member, or liquidation,
dissolution or termination of the Fund. Each Member further agrees that, to the extent
permitted by law, it shall not independently act with respect to tax audits or tax litigation
affecting the Fund, unless previously authorized to do so in writing by the Tax Matters
Partner. Any expenses borne by the Tax Matters Partner in connection with the Fund shall
be borne by the Fund and the Tax Matters Partner shall be entitled to reimbursement for all
expenses incurred in that capacity.
6.15. Withholding.
(a) Each Member shall, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold
harmless each Covered Person who is or who is deemed to be the responsible
withholding agent for U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. income tax purposes
against all claims, liabilities and expenses of whatever nature relating to such Covered
Person's obligation to withhold and to pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or
other taxes payable by the Fund or as a result of such Member's participation in the
Fund, including any amounts required to be paid by the Fund with respect to a Member
under Sections 6225 and 6232 of the Code (as in effect under the Budget Act). In the
event that a Member fails to comply with this Section 6.15(a), such Member will be
deemed to be in default under this Agreement and shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 5.3 as if such Member had failed to make a required Capital Contribution.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Member
hereby authorizes the Tax Matters Partner, on behalf of the Fund, to withhold and to
pay over, or pay using any assets of the Fund, including any cash generated through the
sale of such assets, or otherwise, any withholding or other taxes payable by the Fund or
any of its Affiliates (pursuant to the Code or any provision of U.S. federal, state or local
or non-U.S. tax law, induding a Member's tax liability with respect to a composite
return) with respect to such Member or as a result of such Member's participation in
the Fund (including as a result of a distribution in kind to such Member), or taxes of the
Fund under Chapter 63 of the Code, as amended by the Budget Act, that are allocable
to such member, as determined by the Tax Matters Partner in its discretion. If and to
the extent that the Fund is required to withhold or pay any such withholding or other
ER305378-MAXWELL B-36
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00002058
EFTA00237689
taxes, such Member shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have
received a payment from the Fund as of the time that such withholding or other tax is
required to be paid, which payment shall be deemed to be a distribution to such
Member with respect to such Member's Interest to the extent that such Member (or any
successor to such Member's Interest) would have received a cash distribution but for
such withholding. To the extent that such payment exceeds the cash distribution that
such Member would have received but for such withholding or is paid using assets held
by the Fund, including any cash generated through the sale of such assets, the Tax
Matters Partner shall notify such Member as to the amount of such excess and such
Member shall make a prompt payment to the Fund of such amount by wire transfer,
which payment shall not constitute a Capital Contribution. In addition, the Fund may
hold back from any distribution in kind to a Member with any unpaid taxes property
having a Value equal to the amount of such taxes until the Fund has received payment
of such amount. If the Fund uses assets held by the Fund, including any cash generated
though the sale of such assets held by the Fund to pay any such withholding or other
taxes, the Fund shall have the right to require such Member to contribute additional
capital to the Fund equal to the amount of such payment plus associated expenses. The
contribution of such additional capital shall not be treated as part of such Member's
Capital Commitment. If a Member fails to contribute such additional capital as required
by the Fund, it shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 of this Agreement.
(c) Any withholdings or other taxes referred to in this Section 6.15 shall be allocated to
each Member pro rata in accordance with its Sharing Percentage; provided that any
increase or decrease in such taxes resulting from the identity, nationality, residence or
status of a Member will be specially allocated to that Member.
(d) Any withholdings referred to in this Section 6.15 shall be made at the maximum
applicable statutory rate under the applicable tax law unless the Tax Matters Partner has
received an opinion of counsel, or other evidence, satisfactory to the Tax Matters
Partner to the effect that a lower rate is applicable or that no withholding is applicable.
(e) In the event that the Fund receives a distribution from or in respect of which tax has
been withheld, the Fund shall be deemed to have received cash in an amount equal to
the amount of such withheld tax, and each Member shall be treated as having received
as a distribution of Distributable Cash, pursuant to Section 6.3 the portion of such
amount that is attributable to such Member's Interest, as equitably determined by the
Tax Matters Partner.
6.16. FATCA. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Tax Matters
Partner may take such actions as it determines necessary or appropriate to comply with
(and allocate any economic burden associated with the compliance with) FATCA, including
causing a Member to withdraw from the Fund under such terms and conditions established
by the Tax Matters Partner or to indemnify the Fund, the Tax Matters Partner and their
Affiliates for any loss or liability arising in whole or in part from such Member's failure to
establish that payments and allocations to it are exempt from withholding under FATCA.
"FATCA" means Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code or any successor provision that is
substantively the equivalent thereof (and, in each case, any regulations promulgated
thereunder or official interpretations thereof); any agreements entered into pursuant
thereto (including any intergovernmental agreements); any law, regulation or official
interpretation of any jurisdiction implementing any such agreement entered into pursuant
thereto and any similar law of any other jurisdiction.

ARTICLE VII ADMINISTRATIVE FEE
7.1. Administrative Fee
(a) The Fund shall pay to the Administrator, under the Administrative Services Agreement,
an annual administrative fee (the "Administrative Fee") with respect to each Member
equal to (i) 1.00% of such Member's Capital Commitment if such Member's Capital
Commitment is less than $3 million, (ii) 0.75% of such Member's Capital Commitment
if such Member's Capital Commitment is $3 million or more but less than $10 million,
or (iii) 0.50% of such Member's Capital Commitment if such Member's Capital
Commitment is $10 million or more, calculated as if each Member were admitted to the
Fund as of the Initial Closing. After the Investment Period Expiration Date, the
Administrative Fee payable by the Fund shall be computed based on the percentages
described above attributable to each Member's Capital Commitment, but with such
percentage applied to each Member's Capital Contributions used to fund investments
by the Fund that have not been sold or otherwise disposed of (directly or indirectly
through the Underlying Fund) and the proceeds thereof that have not been returned by
the Underlying Fund to the Fund. For purposes of calculating the Administrative Fee
after the Investment Period Expiration Date, each Member shall be deemed to have
made Capital Contributions in respect of any binding commitments to make
investments by the Fund. The Administrator, in its discretion, may waive, or defer all or
any portion of the Administrative Fee in respect of a Member, including employees,
officers and directors of the Administrator and its Affiliates. The Administrator may also
vary the terms of the Administrative Fee with respect to a particular Member and/or
class of Interests, in the Administrator's sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Fee will not be paid to the
Administrator by those Members that invest through an Advisory Program. If, at any
time, a Member terminates its participation in an Advisory Program and therefore,
UBSFS or its Affiliates no longer receive a fee from such Member in respect of such
Member's ownership of Interests in the Fund, then the Administrative Fee payable in
respect of such Member may, as of the date of the termination of such Advisory
Program, be calculated as described above for Members that are not subject to an
Advisory Program.
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, solely for the purpose of calculating the Administrative Fee
pursuant to this Section 7.1, any amount contributed by a Member in excess of its
Capital Commitment shall not be included in such Member's Capital Commitment for
the purpose of calculating such Member's Capital Contributions in respect of the
Administrative Fee.
(c) The Administrative Fee will begin to accrue as of the date of the Initial Closing and will
begin to accrue as of such date, regardless of when a Member is admitted to the Fund.
The Administrative Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears by the Fund and shall be
pro-rated for periods of less than one full calendar quarter.
(d) 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 Member Designee; provided, however, that the Member Designee
will provide notice to all Members following its approval of such an assignment.
(e) The Administrative Services Agreement may be terminated by the Fund upon a vote of
not less than a Majority in Interest, exduding Affiliated Members, at a meeting of the
ER305378-MAXWELL B-38
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00002060
EFTA00237691
Members called for such purpose in accordance with Article XIII. Upon the termination
of the Administrative Services Agreement, the duties and obligations of the
Administrator hereunder shall cease and the Members through the Member Designee
then in office shall assume all such obligations of the Administrator hereunder;
provided, however, the Administrator shall continue to be entitled to the rights and
benefit provided to it under Sections 1.2(a), 1.2(c), 2.4 and 9.1; provided further, that
none of the provisions referenced in the preceding proviso may be amended in a
manner that adversely affects the rights of the Administrator without the prior written
consent of the Administrator.

ARTICLE VIII BOOKS AND RECORDS; REPORTS TO MEMBERS; ETC.
8.1. Maintenance of Books and Records. The Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept
during the Term, at such place as the Administrator may determine, full and accurate
accounts of the transactions of the Fund in proper books and records of account, which
shall set forth all information required by the Act. Such books and records will be prepared
in accordance with such accounting method as the Administrator determines in its
discretion is in the best interest of the Fund, which may not be in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. The Fund shall adopt the accrual method for tax
accounting purposes or any other accounting method permitted by the Code which the
Administrator determines in its discretion is in the best interest of the Fund.
8.2. Audits; Financial Reports. Each Member hereby approves of Ernst & Young LLP as the initial
auditor of the Fund. The Fund intends to deliver to the Members audited annual financial
reports of the Fund as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the Fiscal Year.
Nevertheless, due to (a) a change in accounting rules or interpretations that may make it
difficult for the Administrator or costly for the Fund to provide audited financial reports or
(b) the unavailability of necessary information from the Underlying Fund, the Fund may
deliver unaudited annual financial reports to Members. An annual audit of financial reports
may only be completed once the Fund receives audited financial statements from the
Underlying Fund in respect of the same Fiscal Year. Consequently, the preparation of the
Fund's audited annual financial reports may occur later than would otherwise be the case.
The Fund will use reasonable efforts to prepare and mail, or cause to be prepared and
mailed, an audited financial report (sent as of the end of a Fiscal Year) to each Member,
promptly after the end of the period for which such report required under this Section 8.2
is being made, subject to the timely receipt of information from the Underlying Fund,
setting forth for such period: (a) the assets and liabilities of the Fund as of the end of such
period; and (b) the net profit or net loss of the Fund for such period.
The Fund may furnish to each Member such other periodic reports as it deems necessary or
appropriate.
8.3. Tax Returns and Tax Information.
(a) The Administrator shall cause the Fund initially to elect the Fiscal Year as its taxable year
and, subject to the timely receipt of the necessary information from the Underlying
Fund, shall use reasonable efforts to cause to be prepared and timely filed all tax returns
required to be filed for the Fund in the jurisdictions in which the Fund conducts business
or derives income for all applicable tax years.
(b) The Administrator shall use reasonable efforts, subject to the timely receipt of the
necessary information from the Underlying Fund, to prepare and timely mail after the
end of each Fiscal Year to each Member (and each other Person that was a Member
during such Fiscal Year or its legal representatives), U.S. Internal Revenue Service
Schedule K-1 (or any successor form), and such tax information as the Administrator
reasonably believes may be necessary in the preparation by such Person of its U.S.
federal tax returns in accordance with any applicable laws, rules and regulations then
prevailing. Such information shall include a statement showing such Person's share of
distributions, income, gain, loss, deductions and expenses and other relevant fiscal
items of the Fund for such Fiscal Year. The Members hereby acknowledge that the
provision of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1s to the Members on a
timely basis is contingent upon the Administrator's receipt on a timely basis of
ER305378-MAXWELL B-40
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00002062
EFTA00237693
the necessary information from the Underlying Fund. The Schedule K-1s will
not be available prior to April 15 and accordingly, Members may need to obtain
extensions for the filing of their own individual tax returns.
(c) The Administrator, in its discretion, may file composite returns with respect to the state
or local income or franchise tax liability of the Members in any State of the United
States that permits or requires such filings with respect to nonresident Members. If the
Administrator files a composite return, the Administrator will comply with any
requirements set forth in the relevant tax law regarding the provision of information to,
and the receipt of certifications and consents from, the Members with respect to their
eligibility to be included in and tax consequences of such filing.
8.4. Banking. All funds of the Fund may be deposited in such bank, brokerage or money
market accounts as may be established by the Administrator. Withdrawals from and checks
drawn on any such account shall be made upon such signature or signatures as the
Administrator may designate.

ARTICLE IX INDEMNIFICATION
9.1. Indemnification of Covered Persons.
(a) The Fund shall and hereby does, to the full extent permitted by applicable law,
indemnify, hold harmless and release (and each Member does hereby release) each
Covered Person from and against any and all daims, demands, liabilities, costs,
expenses, damages, losses, suits, proceedings and actions, whether judicial,
administrative, investigative or otherwise, of whatever nature, known or unknown,
liquidated or unliquidated (collectively, "Claims") that may accrue to or be incurred by
any Covered Person, or in which any Covered Person may become involved, as a party
or otherwise, or with which any Covered Person may be threatened, as applicable, in
each case relating to or arising out of the investment or other activities of the Fund or
activities undertaken in connection with the Fund, or otherwise relating to or arising out
of this Agreement, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise
or as fines or penalties, and counsel fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
preparation for or defense or disposition of any investigation, action, suit, arbitration or
other proceeding (a "Proceeding") whether civil or criminal (all of such Claims,
amounts and expenses collectively, "Damaaes") except to the extent that a court of
competent jurisdiction has determined in a non-appealable judgment that such
Damages arose primarily from Disabling Conduct of such Covered Person. The
termination of any Proceeding by settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption
that any Damages relating to such settlement or otherwise relating to such Proceeding
arose primarily from Disabling Conduct of any Covered Person.
(b) Expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defense or settlement of any Claim that may
be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder may be advanced by the Fund to
such Covered Person prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if a court of
competent jurisdiction determines in a non-appealable judgment that the Covered
Person was not entitled to be indemnified hereunder. Any and all judgments against
the Fund, the Member Designee or the Administrator in respect of which the Member
Designee or the Administrator is entitled to indemnification, shall be satisfied from the
assets of the Fund, including Capital Contributions and any payments under Section
9.2.
(c) Promptly after receipt by a Covered Person of notice of the commencement of any
Proceeding, such Covered Person shall, if a daim for indemnification in respect thereof
is to be made against the Fund, give written notice to the Fund of the commencement
of such Proceeding; provided that the failure of any Covered Person to give such notice
as provided herein shall not relieve the Fund of its obligations under this Section 9.1. If
any Proceeding is brought against a Covered Person (other than a derivative suit in right
of the Fund), the Fund shall be entitled to participate therein and to assume the defense
thereof to the extent that the Fund may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such Covered Person. After notice from the Fund to such Covered Person of the Fund's
election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the Fund shall not be liable for
expenses subsequently incurred by such Covered Person in connection with the defense
thereof. The Fund shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement of such Proceeding that does not include as an unconditional term thereof
the release of such Covered Person by the claimant or plaintiff from all liability in
respect of such Proceeding and the related Claim.
ER305378-MAXWELL B-42
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00002064
EFTA00237695
(d) The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall continue to afford protection to each Covered
Person regardless of whether such Covered Person remains in the position or capacity
based upon which such Covered Person became entitled to indemnification under this
Section 9.1 and regardless of any subsequent amendment to this Agreement, and no
amendment to this Agreement shall reduce or restrict the extent to which these
provisions apply to actions taken or omissions made prior to the date of such
amendment.
(e) If the Member Designee determines that it is appropriate or necessary to do so, the
Member Designee may cause the Fund to establish reasonable reserves, escrow
accounts or similar accounts to fund its obligations under this Section 9.1.
(t) The right of any Covered Person to the indemnification provided herein shall be
cumulative with, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Covered Person
may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend
to such Covered Person's successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives. The rights
of indemnification provided under this Section 9.1 shall not be construed so as to
provide indemnification of an indemnitee for any liability (including liability under U.S.
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 or such liability may not be
waived, modified or limited under applicable law, but shall be construed so as to
effectuate the applicable provisions of this Section 9.1 to the full extent permitted by
law.
(g) The Fund (and not any Covered Person), will (i) be responsible for any losses resulting
from "trading" errors and similar human errors, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of the obligations and duties
of any Covered Person or (ii) receive the gain from such errors, as the case may be.
9.2. Return of Certain Distributions to Fund Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, at any time and from time to time: (a) the Member Designee
may require the Members to return to the Fund amounts distributed by the Fund to the
Members in an amount sufficient to satisfy all or any portion of the indemnification obligations
of the Fund pursuant to Section 9.1, whether such obligations arise before or after the last day
of the Term or, with respect to any Member, before or after such Member's resignation from
the Fund; and (b) if, pursuant to the Underlying Fund Documents, the Fund is obligated to
return any amounts previously distributed by the Underlying Fund, the Member Designee may
require the Members to return distributions in an amount sufficient to satisfy such obligations;
provided that, in each such case, all Members shall return distributions pro rata based on
distributions received by each Member from the Fund relative to distributions received by all
Members from the Fund. Any distributions returned pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall not be
treated as Capital Contributions, but shall be treated as returns of distributions and reductions
in Distributable Cash. Nothing in this Section 9.2, express or implied, is intended or shall be
construed to give any Person other than the Fund or the Members any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or in respect of this Section 9.2 or any provision contained herein. For
purposes of this Section 9.2, references to Members shall include former Members.

The Member Designee may determine to waive any or all of the conditions set forth
in this Section 10.1(b), other than those set forth in clause (vi).
(c) The opinion of counsel referred to in Section 1O.1(b)(iv) with respect to a proposed

limitations.

"Substitute Member") only in accordance with Sections 5.3(c) and (d) and this Article X.
Unless the Member Designee, the Transferor and the Transferee otherwise agree, in the
event of the admission of a Transferee as a Substitute Member, all references herein to
the Transferor shall be deemed to apply to such Substitute Member, and such
Substitute Member shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Transferor
hereunder. A Person shall be deemed to be admitted to the Fund as a Substitute
Member at the time that the foregoing conditions are satisfied or waived, as applicable,
and such Person is listed in the Member Register.
(e) Unless effected in accordance with this Agreement, no attempted Transfer or
substitution shall be recognized by the Fund and any purported Transfer or substitution

10.2. Subsequent Closings.
(a) The Member Designee is hereby authorized to schedule one or more additional Closings
on any date not later than the Final Underlying Fund Closing Date to admit Additional
Members to the Fund or to permit previously admitted Members to increase their
Capital Commitments (Additional Members and previously admitted Members
increasing their Capital Commitments being collectively referred to as "5ubseauen(
Members" and all references to the admission to the Fund and the Capital
Commitment of a Subsequent Member being understood to include the increase in the
Capital Commitment and the increased amount of the Capital Commitment,
respectively, of a previously admitted Member). Each Subsequent Member will
participate in all investments already made by the Fund, other than Temporary
Investments, and will bear its proportionate share of all Organizational Expenses and
Fund Expenses, other than those related to such Temporary Investments, as though
such Subsequent Member had been admitted at the Initial Closing. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that, as a result of the Capital Commitment of a
Subsequent Member to the Fund, (i) the Fund increases its capital commitment to the
Underlying Fund and (ii) the Underlying Fund precludes the Fund from increasing its
participation in the Underlying Fund's existing investments as a result of such increased
capital commitment, the Member Designee may, in its discretion, cause such
Subsequent Member not to participate in the portion of the Fund's capital commitment
to the Underlying Fund that relates to the Underlying Fund's existing investments. Prior
to admitting any Subsequent Members to the Fund, the Member Designee shall have
determined that the following conditions have been satisfied to its satisfaction:
(i) Such Subsequent Member shall have executed and delivered such documents,
instruments and certificates and shall have taken such actions as the Member
Designee may deem necessary or desirable to effect such admission, including, if
requested, the execution of (A) an Investor Application containing representations
and warranties by the Subsequent Members that are substantially the same as those
made by the previously admitted Members in the Investor Applications executed at
the Initial Closing and (B) a counterpart of this Agreement; and
(ii) The Subsequent Member shall have made a Capital Contribution (or in the case of a
Member increasing its Capital Commitment, an additional Capital Contribution with
respect to its increased Capital Commitment) to the Fund in accordance with the
terms of Section 5.2(a).
(b) A Subsequent Member shall not share in any income earned from (or expenses
attributable to) Temporary Investments made by the Fund prior to such Member's
admission to the Fund, except to the extent such Temporary Investments were made
using Capital Contributions of such Member.
(c) To the extent that, as a result of the admission of a Subsequent Member to the Fund,
the Fund increases its commitment to the Underlying Fund and the Fund incurs costs
associated with such increased commitment to the Underlying Fund ("Additional
Costs") each Member shall bear its share of such Additional Costs irrespective of
whether such Member was admitted to the Fund at a Closing prior to the subsequent
Closing at which such Subsequent Member was admitted to the Fund; provided that,
the Member Designee may, in its sole discretion, determine to specifically allocate any
such costs to the Member in respect of which such costs were incurred in which event
the Member Designee also may elect to allocate any interest received from the
ER305378-MAXWELL B-46
CONFIDENTIAL UBSTERRAMAR00002068
EFTA00237699
Underlying Fund relating to such Subsequent Members to the Members that made
contributions for such investments.
The Administrator in its discretion will determine each Subsequent Member's allocable
share of Temporary Investments and Fund Expenses associated with the Fund's
increased commitment to the Underlying Fund. The Administrator will adjust each
existing Member's Capital Account with such items as necessary to reflect the
arrangement set forth in the preceding paragraph with respect to subsequent Closings.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, if at the time that a Subsequent Member is admitted to the Fund, the Member
Designee determines that there has been a significant event or material change relating
to a Portfolio Investment that would make it appropriate to (i) require that such
Subsequent Member pay to the Fund an amount with respect to such Portfolio
Investment above or (ii) exclude such Subsequent Member from funding and
participating in any portion of such Portfolio Investment, then the Member Designee
may do so and may unilaterally amend this Agreement and the Member Register to
reflect such changes to the terms on which such Subsequent Member may be admitted
to the Fund. Alternatively, the Fund may allow Subsequent Members to participate in
all Portfolio Investments, including investments made prior to the admission of a
Subsequent Member.
A Person shall be deemed to have been admitted to the Fund as a Subsequent Member
at the time that the foregoing conditions are satisfied, as determined by the Member
Designee, and such Person is listed in the Member Register.
(e) The books and records of the Fund shall be amended by the Member Designee as
appropriate to show the name of each Subsequent Member and the amount of its
Capital Commitment.
10.3. piscontinuation of Member's Interest by the Member Designee. The Member Designee
may, in its discretion, terminate any Member's Interest upon five (5) calendar days' prior
written notice to such Member (a) in the event of the death of such Member or (b) if the
Member Designee determines that the continued participation of such Member in the Fund
would be detrimental to the Fund, including, by way of example and not limitation, by (i)
jeopardizing the classification of the Fund as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, (ii) involving the Fund, the Member Designee or any Member in litigation, (iii)
causing the Fund to be required to register under the Investment Company Act, (iv) causing
the Member Designee or any of its Affiliates to be required to register under the Advisers
Act, (v) causing all or any portion of the assets of the Fund to constitute "plan assets" for
purposes of ERISA, (vi) causing the Fund to be excluded from certain investments made by
the Underlying Fund or (vii) causing the Fund to violate any laws, rules or regulations
applicable to the Fund or the Member Designee.
In the event of any such termination of such Member's Interest, (a)(i) such Member shall be
paid an amount equal to the positive balance, if any, in its Capital Account as of the
termination date (which value shall be determined by the Member Designee) within 90 days
or as soon thereafter as the Fund has available funds, as determined by the Member
Designee, in its discretion, (ii) the Member Designee may admit a Substitute Member to
assume all or a portion of the balance of the Capital Commitment of such Member on such
terms and upon the delivery of such documents as the Member Designee may determine to
be appropriate and (iii) the Member Designee shall make such revisions to the Member

Register as may be necessary to reflect the change in Members and Capital Commitments
contemplated by this Section 10.3 or (b) without any further action by such Member, the
Member Designee may have such Member's Interest sold or transferred to any other Person
or Persons (including an Affiliate of the Member Designee or the Administrator or in a
transaction in which the Member Designee, the Administrator or one of their Affiliates is
acting as agent or principal) at whatever price or terms in the discretion of the Member or
Member Designee (with the net proceeds, if any, of such sale inuring to the benefit of such
Member other than in the case of a Defaulting Member, in which case none of the
proceeds, if any, of such sale will inure to the benefit of such Defaulting Member) and
allowing the transferee of such Interest to assume such Member's Remaining Capital
Commitment.
10.4. ERISA Considerations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, and without limiting any other right of the Member Designee under this
Agreement, the Member Designee will not permit any acquisition, Transfer or withdrawal
of Interests (and any such acquisition, Transfer or withdrawal will be null and void) if, giving
effect to the acquisition, Transfer or withdrawal, investment by Members who have
represented that they are Benefit Plan Investors would equal or exceed 25% of the Interests
(as determined under Section 3(42) of ERISA and the Plan Assets Regulation). Compliance
with the foregoing 25% limitation may require the Fund to limit the transferability of
Interests to Benefit Plan Investors or to any Person (excluding any Benefit Plan Investor)
having discretionary control of the assets of the Fund or rendering investment advice to the
Fund for a fee, and their Affiliates, and without limiting any other prohibitions or
restrictions on transferability, the Member Designee may limit transferability in connection
with satisfying the 25% limitation.

by agreement with a third party to keep confidential.
