EXHIBIT A-3 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK PASHA S. ANWAR, et al., v. Plaintiffs, Master File No. 09-cv-118 (VM) FAIRFIELD GREENWICH LIMITED, et al., Defendants. GLOBEOP PROOF OF CLAIM AND RELEASE I. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 1. The accompanying Notice of Proposed GlobeOp Partial Settlement of Class Action and Settlement Fairness Hearing, and Motion for Attorneys’ Fees and Reimbursement of Expenses (the “Notice”) contains important information about your rights, defines certain settlement terms and eligibility criteria, and describes the proposed partial settlement and the manner in which the Settlement will be distributed if the Settlement is approved by the Court. It is important that you read the Notice. 2. To recover as a member of the GlobeOp Settlement Class (as defined in the Notice) in the above Action, you must complete and, on page 5, sign this Proof of Claim and Release (“Proof of Claim”). 3. If you previously submitted a Proof of Claim form in connection with the Fairfield Greenwich (“FG”) Settlement, and that Proof of Claim form (with any supplemental documents or information submitted to the Claims Administrator) is still complete and accurate, you are not required to complete Part II hereof or to resubmit supporting documentation. Rather, you can check the box at the top of Part II and proceed by completing only Parts I and III. 4. Submission of a Proof of Claim does not assure that you will share in the proceeds of the Settlement. 5. The GlobeOp Settlement Class consists of all Persons who purchased or held interests in Greenwich Sentry, L.P. (“Greenwich Sentry”) and Greenwich Sentry Partners, L.P. (“Greenwich Sentry Partners”) (the “Funds”) from October 31, 2003 through September 1, 2006, who were investors in the Funds as of December 10, 2008 and suffered a Net Loss of principal invested in the Funds. Excluded from the GlobeOp Settlement Class are (i) those Persons who timely and validly requested exclusion from the GlobeOp Settlement Class and who did not validly revoke such exclusion, (ii) any Persons who have been dismissed from this Action with prejudice; and (iii) the FG Defendants, GlobeOp, and the Non-Settling Defendants, and any entity in which those Persons have a controlling interest, and their officers, directors, affiliates, employees, legal representatives, and immediate family members, and heirs, successors, subsidiaries and assigns of any such Persons. Net Loss means the total cash investment made by an investor in the Funds, less the total amount of any redemptions, withdrawals or recoveries by that investor from or with respect to the Funds. Even if you do not fill out this Proof of Claim, any and all claims you may have against GlobeOp in this Action will be released by virtue of your being a member of the GlobeOp Settlement Class. 6. You are required to submit the Proof of Claim so that it is received by the Claims Administrator by [90 days after mailing of the Notice] addressed as follows: If you fail to submit the Proof of Claim by that deadline, your claim may be rejected and you may be precluded from receiving any recovery from the Settlement Fund created in connection with the proposed partial settlement of the Action.

II. CLAIMANT IDENTIFICATION 1. Use Part I of this form entitled “Claimant Identification” to identify each Settlement Class Member. THIS PROOF OF CLAIM MUST BE FILED BY THE ACTUAL SETTLEMENT CLASS MEMBER OR THE LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE OF SUCH OWNER OF THE PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS UPON WHICH THIS CLAIM IS BASED. 2. All joint owners must sign this Proof of Claim. Executors, administrators, guardians, conservators, or other legal representatives must complete and sign this Proof of Claim on behalf of Persons represented by them and documentation showing their authority must accompany this Proof of Claim and their titles or capacities must be stated. The actual name and Social Security (or other U.S. or foreign taxpayer identification) number and telephone number of the Settlement Class Member must be used to verify the Proof of claim and avoid duplicative claims. Failure to provide the foregoing information could delay verification of your claim or result in rejection of the claim. III. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PROOF OF CLAIM FORM 1. In the space provided in Part II of this form entitled “Schedule of Transactions in Fund Limited Partnership Interests,” supply all required details of your transaction(s) in Fund partnership interests. If you need more space or additional schedules, attach separate sheets giving all of the required information in substantially the same form. Sign and print or type your name on each additional sheet. If you are the owner of more than one of the Funds in which you have a Net Loss of principal, make a copy (or copies) of the Schedule of Transactions and complete a Schedule separately for each Fund. 2. Please provide all of the requested information with respect to all of your transactions in the Funds from your first investment to the present date, inclusive, whether such transactions resulted in a profit or a loss. Failure to report all transactions may result in the rejection of your claim. List each transaction separately and in chronological order, by trade date, beginning with the earliest. You must accurately provide the month, day and year of each transaction you list. 3. You must also submit supporting documentation concerning all of your transactions and holdings in the Funds. In most cases, confirmations of subscriptions and redemptions will be sufficient. If you do not have such documentation, you may also attach any documents or schedules that you attached to any tax return that reflect transactions in the Fund. Failure to provide this documentation will delay verification or result in rejection of your claim. 4. If you obtained any recovery in respect of your investments in the Funds other than through sales of limited partnership interests in the Funds, such as through settlement of any legal claims, please identify that compensation in the Schedule of Transactions, with supporting documentation. (If you have not received any such compensation, mark “None.”) Filing a Proof of Claim form in the FG Settlement is not considered a recovery for these purposes. 5. The above materials are designed to provide the minimum amount of information necessary to process claims. Rust Consulting, Inc. (the “Claims Administrator”) may request from you or any nominee, custodian or similar person who invested on your behalf additional information as required to efficiently and reliably verify your claims and calculate your Net Loss. In some cases where the Claims Administrator cannot perform the calculation accurately or at a reasonable cost to the Settlement Class with the information provided, the Claims Administrator may condition acceptance of the Proof of Claim upon the production of additional information that it may, in its discretion, require to process the claim. 177163-1 MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN [ ], 2013 Pasha S.
