arrangements or advise any managed accounts or investment vehicles (such as a fund-of-one) other

confidential offering or private placement memoranda, individual limited partnership or shareholder
agreements (including side letters) and other governing documents applicable to each Client
(“Governing Documents”).

for his (or their) benefit, or through certain charitable foundations, organizations or trusts that have
been established or that are directed by him (or them) (including donor-advised funds or other estate
planning vehicles).
