FEES AND COMPENSATION
For Venture Funds, GSVV typically charges what we believe to be a standard Fee/Carry
structure of 2%/20%, although earlier funds have had a structure of 2.5%/20%. Carry is based on
overall fund performance, rather than deal by deal which can change incentives, and allocated
amongst the partners, senior team members, investment team, and select strategic advisory board
members accordingly. A portion is held in reserve for any additions to the investment team or
advisory board. Our distribution waterfall is European (return of capital) and the General Partner
does not take carry on a deal-by-deal basis.

The SPVs conduct an annual capital call to collect the management fee, which paid to the
manager on a quarterly basis.
GSVV typically deducts management fees and performance allocations directly from its
funds.
GSVV believes that its fees are competitive with fees charged by other investment advisers
for comparable services. Comparable services may be available, however, from other sources for
lower fees.
EXPENSES
As more fully described in each Client’s respective governing documents, GSVV bears some
expenses incurred by or on behalf of each of the Clients, as applicable, in its organization,
operation, liquidation and/or termination. Certain SPVs are subject to expense caps.
