Reliance on Information Posted

This Website may include forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements (including words such as “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “may,” “will,” “should,” and “expect”). Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Various factors could cause actual results or performance to differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements.

Past performance is not indicative of any specific investment or future results. Views regarding the economy, securities markets or other specialized areas, like all predictors of future events, cannot be guaranteed to be accurate and may result in economic loss to an investor. Investors or prospective investors in any of the Company’s funds should not assume that their performance will equal or exceed historical market results and/or averages.

The information presented on or through the Website is made available solely for general information purposes and does not constitute an offer to sell or buy any securities and may not be used or relied upon in connection with any offer or sale of securities. An offer or solicitation will be made only through a final private placement memorandum, subscription agreement and other related documents with respect to a particular investment opportunity and will be subject to the terms and conditions contained in such documents, including the qualifications necessary to become an investor.

This Website may include content provided by third parties. All statements and/or opinions expressed in these materials, and all articles and responses to questions and other content, other than the content provided by the Company, are solely the opinions and the responsibility of the person or entity providing those materials. These materials do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Company. We are not responsible, or liable to you or any third party, for the content or accuracy of any materials provided by any third parties.

Portfolio Companies

The Website contains information and links to companies in which affiliates of the Company have invested. By using this Website, you acknowledge and agree that these companies are not LFM Capital and are separate and distinct legal entities. Any questions, comments or communications intended for such companies must be sent directly to the respective companies.

The information regarding specific portfolio companies is presented to illustrate examples of the types of investments that the Company or one or more of its affiliates may have made or recommended as of a particular date. Such information is not intended to serve as a recommendation to invest in any company or investment described herein. Further, it may not be representative of any current or future investments, and the performance of these investments is not necessarily indicative of the performance of all investments made or recommended by the Company and/or its affiliated funds. It should not be assumed that such investments were or will be profitable or that any portfolio company investments made in the future will equal the performance of the companies identified herein. No guarantee of investment performance is being provided and no inference to the contrary should be made. Past performance is neither indicative or a guarantee of future results.

No Investment Recommendations

The material listed on the Website is current as of the date noted, and is for informational purposes only, and does not contend to address the financial objectives, situation, or specific needs of any individual investor. The Website does not contain any investment recommendations whatsoever. Reliance on any statements, materials, information, data, or resources made available in connection with the Website is solely at your own risk. No such statements, materials, information, data, or resources should be considered or construed as recommending or not recommending any investment.

Confidentiality

The information contained in the password-protected portion of the Website (the “Investor Website”) is confidential and is subject to the confidentiality provisions contained in the governing agreements of the relevant entities to which you are a party, and/or the nondisclosure agreement entered into by you and the Company or one or more of its affiliates in connection with your access of the Investor Website (collectively, the “Confidentiality Provisions”). As a limited partner or prospective limited partner of one or more of the Company’s funds, or a representative of such a limited partner or prospective limited partner, you are subject to the applicable Confidentiality Provisions. By use of the Investor Website you agree that the information relating to the Company’s funds in which you are not a limited partner is subject to the same Confidentiality Provisions that apply to you as a limited partner in any of the Company’s funds (if any). The information contained in the Investor Website may not be reproduced or redistributed in any manner.

The information contained in the Investor Website may include material non-public information regarding the Company’s funds and their underlying portfolio companies. It is a violation of U.S. securities laws for a person in possession of material non-public information concerning an issuer to purchase or sell securities of such issuer or to communicate such information to another person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell securities.

Password Use, Security and Notification

If you have received a password to access the Investor Website, you acknowledge and agree that we have granted you limited access to specific files pertaining to one or more of the Company’s funds (“Approved Information”), and you agree not to attempt to access computer files other than the Approved Information.

Accordingly, you agree to take all reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of your password and not to allow any other person to use your password or gain access to the Investor Website. You agree to notify the Company immediately if you become aware of any disclosure, loss, theft or unauthorized use of your password.

We have the right to disable any user name, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms of Use.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Tennessee without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Tennessee or any other jurisdiction).

You agree with the Company that this section satisfies the writing requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. Notwithstanding the Rules, however, such proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee and will take place in Nashville, Tennessee.

Waiver and Severability

No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
