Item 5 Fees and Compensation Management Fees ForgeLight is entitled to a management fee for providing management services to the Funds which are paid in a manner and amount as set forth in each Fund’s Governing Documents. Management fees are generally payable semi-annually in advance (i.e., on January 5 and July 5 for the respective semi- annual periods beginning on January 1 and July 1 of each year). ForgeLight may elect for the management fee to be fully or partially waived, including for ForgeLight related investors. Carried Interest Allocation The Funds are also generally subject to a carried interest of profits on distributions from the disposition of investments or securities, subject to any applicable preferred return to limited partners. The specific manner and amount in which the carried interest is paid is set forth in each Fund’s Governing Documents. ForgeLight may waive or reduce the carried interest distributions otherwise distributable to it (or its affiliate) with respect to any ForgeLight related investor. Other Fees ForgeLight and its affiliates may receive further fees, compensation, expense reimbursements or other similar amounts from activities related or unrelated to the affairs of, or investments made by, a Fund (including a Fund’s investments in a portfolio company), including, without limitation, salary, bonuses, stock options and directors fees (whether in cash or options), employment, service or consulting arrangement, and such amounts shall not in any way affect, reduce or be offset against any management fee or other amounts payable under any arrangement to ForgeLight or any affiliate. Currently, ForgeLight provides consulting services directly to certain portfolio companies and receives compensation. Wade Davis receives director fees from the portfolio companies on whose board of directors he serves. Expenses Each Fund generally bears third party and out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, accounting fees and any fees (including any interest on deferred fees) charged and expenses incurred by any placement agent designated by ForgeLight and other similar fees and expenses in connection with the marketing and sale of interests in the Fund) incurred in connection with the organization of, and issuance of interests in, the Fund, the managing member and special member of the Fund, if applicable, and the Fund’s purchase of the portfolio companies. Each Fund also pays costs and expenses relating to the Fund’s activities, to the extent not reimbursedby a portfolio company, including: (i) all administrative expenses of, or associated with, the Fund incurred in the ordinary course, including the cost of the preparation of the annual audit, financial and tax returns and tax reports required for members (including the managing member or the special member, if applicable) or the Fund, financing expenses, cash management expenses, advisory and consulting expenses and legal and accounting expenses, the fees and expenses of any attorneys, compliance consultants or fund administrators and any registration, regulatory and compliance expenses and other expenses, relating to registrations or filings of the Fund, the managing member and its affiliates (including ForgeLight) with the SEC (including, but not limited to, fees for legal or regulatory advice or submission costs, such as Forms ADV, PF, 13F, 13H, 13G/D, 3, 4 or 5) or other regulatory bodies, including in foreign or local jurisdictions, (ii) all costs and expenses incurred by the Fund or ForgeLight in connection with sourcing, diligence, developing, negotiating, structuring, acquiring, holding, monitoring and disposing of any portfolio company or potential subsequent portfolio company, whether or not any portfolio company is ultimately made, including, without limitation any financing, legal, accounting, escrow, administrative, advisory, consulting, travel and related expenses, entertainment expenses, expenses associated with operating partners or consultants or other personnel retained by a portfolio company, ForgeLight or their affiliates to provide management, advisory or consulting services, the insurance, accounting, custodial, safekeeping, consulting expenses, auditing expenses and due diligence expenses in connection therewith, (iii) brokerage commissions, registration fees and expenses, custodial expenses and other investment costs actually incurred in connection with any portfolio company, (iv) principal, interest on, and costs, fees and expenses arising out of any borrowings, made by the Fund, including, but not limited to, the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the arranging thereof, (v) the costs, fees and expenses of any litigation (including the amount of any judgment or settlement in connection therewith, excluding costs, judgments or settlements with respect to which an indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder) and indemnification or extraordinary expense or liability relating to the affairs of the Fund, (vi) the fees, costs and expenses of any insurance premiums incurred in connection with the Fund’s activities (including D&O liability or other insurance covering the managing member, ForgeLight, related entities or affiliates thereof), (vii) third party expenses of liquidating the Fund, (viii) any registration expenses and any taxes, fees or other governmental charges levied against the Fund and all expenses incurred in connection with any tax audit, investigation, settlement or review of the Fund, (ix) fees and disbursements of attorneys, consultants, accountants, third-party appraisers, fund administration service providers, compliance consultants and valuation experts (to the extent third-party appraisal services or valuation services are contemplated by the governing document of a Fund) and other professionals, ... |

Item 7 Types of Clients ForgeLight provides discretionary investment advisory services to the Funds, as described in the Advisory Business section. Each Fund operates as a pooled investment vehicle, and interests in the Funds are offered pursuant to applicable exemptions from registration under the 1940 Act and the 1933 Act. Each Fund will not be registered or be required to be registered under either the 1940 Act or the 1933 Act and will be privately placed to qualified investors in the United States and elsewhere. The minimum capital commitment for a member of a Fund is outlined in such Fund’s governing documents, and commitment of lesser amounts may be accepted at the discretion of ForgeLight. In addition, Funds enter into letter agreements or other similar agreements, commonly referred to as “side letters,” with certain investors that provide such investor with additional or different rights (including with respect to access to information and economic terms) than other investors. |
