Item 5, Fees and Compensation
CPCM is compensated in two ways: (1) Management fees; and (2) Performance-based carried interest,
which is covered in Item 6, below.
A. Description of Fees. Management fees are generally calculated as a percentage of committed
capital. In the case of a blind pool fund, annual management fees are typically calculated as 1.5% -
2.5% of committed capital, charged for the lifetime of a fund. For example, if CPCM managed a
$10,000,000 venture fund and charged a 2% annual management fee, CPCM would be paid
$200,000 per year for each year of the fund’s life. In the case of CGCF, management fees are
calculated in two separate ways: during the Initial Investment Period (described in the Fund’s
Limited Partnership Agreement as the first four years of the Fund’s operation), management fees
are calculated as 2% of committed capital; for the remaining operating period of the Fund,
management fees are calculated to be 2% of all outstanding capital investments. In the case of

CGCFII, management fees are calculated as 2% of the Management Fee base during the Initial
Investment Period, as defined in the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement, and as 2% of cost basis
of Fund Portfolio Securities in Active Portfolio Companies thereafter specific details regarding the
management fees paid by CPCM’s blind pool fund clients (HNVF, CGCF, and CGCF II) to its Advisor,
CPCM, are provided in the Investment Advisory Agreement or Management Services Agreement and
Limited Partnership Agreement and are also summarized in the Table of Fees below.
In the case of a SPE, CPCM might be paid a flat management fee calculated as part of an SPE’s initial
capital raise, or as a percentage of the client company’s EBITDA. Alternatively, CPCM might charge a
fee calculated as a percentage of the SPE’s annual average invested capital. Also, the SPE might
collect funds in excess of its investment capital to cover current and future operational expenses
(including professional service fees such as accounting and legal fees) of the SPE, as well as reserving
funds for the payment of management fees to CPCM. CPCM maintains the right to make additional
capital calls from certain SPE clients, in its discretion to pay for additional operational expenses. A
description of how and when management fees are paid to CPCM are covered in the Management
Services Agreement, which governs the activities of the particular SPE and its relationship to its
Manager.
The table on the next page is a fee schedule for CPCM’s clients.
