|---|
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation Fees and Compensation Paid to Rockwood Rockwood receives a management fee and the General Partner may receive “Carried Interest” from the respective Funds they manage. Each Fund’s governing documents describe fees, compensation and expenses in greater detail. Investors should refer to such governing documents of the applicable Fund for a complete understanding of how Rockwood is compensated for its advisory services. Generally, the management fees paid to Rockwood range from 1.75% to 2.50% per annum of each investor’s aggregate commitment, paid either semi-annually or quarterly in advance. During the Investment Period, the management fee is based off of the aggregate capital commitments of the Limited Partners. After the end of the Investment Period, the management fee is based off the aggregate Invested Capital of the Limited Partners. The management fee payable may be reduced determined by an investor’s pro rata share (based on the capital commitments). Rockwood’s affiliated General Partners are eligible to receive a performance-based fee (“Carried Interest”). The Carried Interest shall be dependent upon distributions of net proceeds from the disposition of an investment, subject to reserves for expenses or contingent liabilities. Other Fees and Expenses Rockwood will incur costs and expenses arising from the operation and management the Funds through which portfolio investments are made, including (but not limited to): appraisal fees, legal fees, travel expenses, expenses arising from sourcing, evaluating, negotiating, acquiring, and the disposition of portfolio investments, record keeping, insurance premiums, taxes, and governmental charges. Investors should refer to each Fund’s offering documents for a more detailed description of the expenses. All Manager Expenses shall be borne by the Manager. Any Partnership Expenses and Organizational Expenses shall be paid by the Partnership (or reimbursed to the General Partner or the Manager). Any Parallel Fund(s) will share in Partnership Expenses and Organizational Expenses with the Partnership pro rata according to their aggregate committed capital. The General Partner and its affiliates and beneficial owners may invest in the Fund(s) as a limited partner (a “Special Limited Partner”) of the Fund(s). A Special Limited Partner will not be subject to the payment of Management Fees or Carried Interest. The following is a general description of the fees, compensation, and other expenses of the Funds. Each Fund’s governing documents describe fees, compensation, and expenses that may be in additional to Management Fees and Carried Interest in greater detail. Investors are encouraged to refer to such governing documents of the applicable Fund for a complete understanding of how Rockwood is compensated for its advisory services. With respect to each Fund, the respective General Partner, in its sole discretion, is permitted to enter into side letters or other similar agreement may include, without limitation: (i) excuse rights applicable to particular portfolio investments (which may increase the percentage interest of other Limited Partners in, and contribution obligations of other Limited Partners with respect to, such portfolio investments), (ii) the General Partner’s agreement to extend certain information rights or additional reporting to such Limited Partner, including, without limitation, to accommodate special regulatory or other circumstances of such Limited Partner, (iii) waiver or modification of certain confidentiality obligations and/or documentation that might be requested by the General Partner for the benefit of lenders or other persons extending credit to or arranging financing for the Partnership, (iv) consent of the General Partner to certain transfers by such Limited Partner or other exercises by the General Partner of its discretionary authority under the Partnership Agreement for the benefit of such Limited Partner, (v) restrictions on, or special rights of such Limited Partner, with respect to the activities of the General Partner, (vi) withdrawal rights due to legal, regulatory or policy matters, including matters related to political contributions, gifts and other such policies, (vii) other rights or terms necessary in light of particular legal, tax, regulatory, or public policy characteristics of a Limited Partner, (viii) matters regarding the allocation and/or terms of co-investment opportunities and the right to participate therein or (ix) additional obligations, and restrictions of the Partnership with respect to the structuring of any Portfolio Company. Transaction, monitoring, advisory, general investment banking fees such as deal fees, director’s, break-up, or other similar fees may be payable to the Rockwood and its affiliates by a Portfolio Company or other third parties in connection with portfolio investments. Rockwood may warrant a percentage of the Limited Partners’ (other than the Special Limited Partners) share of Fee Income, net of expenses, to be treated as an offset against the management fee. |
