Item 5 Fees and Compensation Advisory Fees and Compensation The Adviser, a General Partner and/or another affiliated entity generally receives management fees, carried interest or other similar profits allocations from the Funds. The specific governing documents for each Fund set forth the fee arrangement for such Fund. From time to time, the Funds may enter into side letters or other written understandings with individual investors that have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing, the terms of a particular Fund’s Memorandum, LPA and/or IMA. The altered terms may include but are not limited to the compensation received by a General Partner from a Fund such as management fees and/or carried interest. Blue Water does not impose a uniform schedule of management fees or performance-based compensation for all Funds (and their respective investors). Pooled Investment Vehicles Asset-Based Compensation With respect to each investor in an LS Fund with interests in the “Class S” or “Class T” currently offered classes interests or shares (as applicable) therein, the Adviser will receive a quarterly management fee (the “LS Management Fee”) in advance equal to 0.5% (2.00% annually) based on the capital account or series account (“Capital Account”) balance of such investor at the beginning of the calendar quarter (as described in each LS Fund’s governing documents). In general, the portion of the LS Management Fee attributable to a particular special investment will be charged to the Class S interests/shares or other Classes of interests/shares (if any) held by the investors participating in the special investment or to an expense reserve established in respect of a special investment, as applicable (the determination as to whether an expense relates specifically to a particular special investment will be made by the Adviser in its sole discretion). In the event of a withdrawal by an investor from its Capital Account prior to the end of a calendar quarter, the quarterly LS Management Fee for such calendar quarter will not be prorated. Investors who are permitted by the general partner or directors (as applicable) of the applicable LS Fund, in their sole discretion, to contribute capital to such LS Fund on a date other than the first five (5) business days of a calendar month are charged a pro rata LS Management Fee as to that contribution. Investors who are permitted by the general partner or directors (as applicable) of the applicable LS Fund, in their sole discretion, to contribute capital on a date during the first five (5) Business Days of a calendar month are charged a LS Management Fee as to that contribution as if such contribution were made as of the first day of such month. With respect to each investor in the Ventures Fund, the Adviser will receive a quarterly management fee (the “Venture Management Fee” and, together with the LS Management Fee, the “Management Fee”) in advance equal to 0.5% (2.00% annually) of (x) during the Ventures Fund’s investment period, each investor’s capital commitment to the Fund and (y) after the investment period, each investor’s net invested capital. The Venture Management Fee will be prorated for partial quarters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adviser, in its discretion, may waive all or a portion of the Management Fee as to a Fund investor, including any such investors affiliated with the Adviser, or may agree with a Fund investor to other changes in the Management Fee with respect to such investor. Performance-Based Compensation With respect to the LS Funds, Blue Water Life Science Fund GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that serves as the general partner of the Onshore Feeder Fund, an affiliate of the Adviser (the “LS General Partner”) (the LS General Partner also serves as the general partner to Blue Water Special Opportunities, LP and Blue Water Special Opportunities II, LP), will be allocated an annual profit allocation from the Master Fund equal to 20% of the profits (including realized and unrealized gains and losses) allocated in respect of the capital account/series of shares of each LS Fund investor holding Class S and T interests/shares in the applicable LS Feeder Fund (each a “Performance Allocation”) that exceed the “Prior High NAV” (i.e., the “high water mark”) in respect of such capital/series of shares. Any Performance Allocation allocated to the LS General Partner with respect to a particular period is not subject to reduction, refund, or “claw back” based on subsequent changes in an investor’s loss carryforward account. The Performance Allocation will be determined separately with respect to each Capital Account of an investor in the applicable LS Fund. The Performance Allocation will also be calculated separately as to each special investment held by the LS Funds in substantially the same manner. If a LS Fund investor makes a withdrawal/redemption from the applicable LS Fund other than at the end of a fiscal year including in connection with a mandatory withdrawal/redemption, a Performance Allocation will be determined with respect to such withdrawal/redemption as of the applicable withdrawal/redemption date and will be allocated on such date to the LS General Partner. With respect to the Ventures Fund, Blue Water Life Science Ventures GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that serves as the general partner of the Ventures Fund and is an affiliate of the Adviser (the “Venture General Partner”) will receive “carried interest” distributions (“Carried Interest Distributions) in respect of each Ventures Fund limited partner on an investment-by-investment basis, subject to such Ventures Fund limited partner achieving a return of capital on the investment generating the investment proceeds in respect of which such Carried Interest Distributions are distributed (as well as return of capital in ... |
