No Modification of Contractual Provisions

These Terms do not amend or supersede any existing agreements you have with Parthenon.  If you are an investor in a pooled investment vehicle, funds-of-one, separate account or similar investment vehicle (together, “Funds”), you may have been granted access to a separate web portal maintained by Parthenon (the “PCP Portal”), a link to which is available on the home page of our Website under the tab “LP-Login”.  You must access the PCP Portal by using a uniquely assigned investor log-in (“password”). Your use of the PCP Portal (including use of your password) are governed by the applicable terms and conditions of the constituent documents of the Fund(s) in which you have invested, as well as any user agreements applicable to the PCP Portal, and all applicable laws and regulations.    You agree to maintain the confidentiality of your password and you remain responsible for all usage of the PCP Portal through your account by you or anyone else. You must immediately notify us of any known or suspected unauthorized use of your password or any other login information or any known or suspected breach of security, including loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure of your password or other log-in information.

Unauthorized Access to PCP Portal is Prohibited

If you do not have a password or other written permission from Parthenon to access the PCP Portal, you agree not to access to attempt to access the PCP Portal for any purposes.  Unauthorized access to the PCP Portal is strictly prohibited, and Parthenon reserves all rights to take any and all actions necessary to prevent any such unauthorized access.

Confidentiality

The content in the PCP Portal is confidential and is subject to the confidentiality provisions contained in the constituent documents of the Fund(s) in which you have invested. As an investor in one or more of the Funds, or a representative of such an investor, you are subject to those confidentiality provisions.

Certain of the content in the PCP Portal may include material non-public information regarding the Funds and their underlying portfolio companies. It is a violation of U.S. securities laws for a person in possession of material non-public information concerning an issuer to purchase or sell securities of such issuer or to communicate such information to another person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell securities.

Past Performance Not Indicative of Future Results

Past performance is not an indication of future results. Any investment entails a risk of loss, including loss of the entire investment.  Any performance information pertaining to any Fund or portfolio company in this Website is intended solely to provide prospective investors with information about the private equity funds advised by Parthenon.  Past performance of any investments described herein is included solely for purposes of illustrating Parthenon’s significant investment experience in the middle market and its focus on private equity investments in its targeted sectors, and is not indicative of any Fund’s future investment results.  The investment strategy and target rates of return of each Fund may vary significantly from the investment strategy used by Parthenon on behalf of any other Funds and their target rates of return. There is no assurance that any Fund will achieve comparable results or even its targeted returns. Targeted investment characteristics may not be indicative of future investment characteristics and investment results may vary substantially over time.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, all performance data included on this Website, including valuations of investments, is unaudited and is subject to change.

No assumption should be made that any portfolio company investment described on this Website as having any remaining value will be realized at such value or will be profitable. The ultimate return on unrealized investments and on the unrealized portion of partially realized investments depends on a number of factors and assumptions, all of which are outside the control of Parthenon, most likely will vary from the returns on such investments reflected on this Website. Thus, the return for each such investment calculated after its complete realization most likely will vary from the return shown for that investment.  Similarly, if a Fund has unrealized or partially realized investments, the return for the Fund calculation after the complete realization of all of its investments most likely will vary from the return shown for such Fund in the aggregate.

The performance information of the Funds contained on this Website is based in part on hypothetical assumptions and for certain unrealized investments, projected performance. Such results are presented for illustrative purposes only and are based on various assumptions, not all of which are described herein.  No representation or warranty is made by Parthenon or any of its affiliates as to the reasonableness of such assumptions or as to any other financial information contained in the performance information (including the assumptions on which they are based). These assumptions have certain inherent limitations, and will be affected by any changes in the structure or assets of the Funds. The actual performance of any portfolio company or Fund will differ, and may differ substantially, from that set forth in the performance information, including the possibility of losses to investors.  No representation is made that such performance information is accurate or complete or does not contain errors, or that alternative modeling techniques or assumptions would not be more appropriate or produce significantly different results. The performance information is provided on the understanding that a sophisticated investor will understand and accept its inherent limitations, and will not rely on it in making any investment decision with respect to any securities that may be issued.

In considering any performance data contained in this Website, the recipient should bear in mind that past, projected, or targeted performance is not indicative of future results and there can be no assurance that any Fund will achieve comparable results or that targets will be met.  The recipient should also bear in mind that past or targeted investment characteristics may not be indicative of future investment characteristics and there can be no assurance that a Fund will have comparable investment characteristics or that target investment characteristics will be achieved.  There can be no assurance that a Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved and investment results may vary substantially over time. Investment in a Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program for any investor.

Investing in a Fund includes significant risks, including the loss of all of your investment. Nothing contained herein shall constitute any representation or warranty as to future performance. The performance information does not purport to contain all of the information that may be required to evaluate an investment in any Fund and each recipient is encouraged to read the offering materials pertaining to the applicable Fund prior to making an investment therein, and should conduct its own independent analysis of the performance data pertaining to a Fund and its portfolio companies.

Except as set forth in the PCP Portal, performance information does not represent the returns of any particular investor and are gross of fund level expenses, fees (including management fees), carried interest paid to Parthenon over the life of a Fund, and do not take into account any taxes applicable to any such amounts that are borne by the investors in a Fund, all of which, when taken in the aggregate, are substantial. Performance information does not represent the amounts actually distributed to investors of any Fund or the amount of income allocated to investors.
