Mandate Submission Form

Definitions

Throughout this entire form, the following terms are used:

Client: Includes the investment manager of any investment fund or vehicle, the sponsor of any direct investment opportunity and a direct issuer, all inclusive of their respective affiliates.

Offering: Includes any investment fund or vehicle managed by the Client, as well as any direct investment opportunity, including both corporate and real estate related opportunities across both equity and debt that is organized or otherwise sponsored by the Client.

In the event that the Client is also the issuer (i.e. they are issuing their own debt or equity) then you should regard the issuer as both the Client and Offering when completing the form.

Purpose & Requirement

This form is designed to conduct due diligence regarding the Client, Offering, including Non-Securities Real Estate Joint Venture Transactions, for both Initial Submissions and Mandate Add-on Submissions, all as applicable, to enable Stonehaven and the relevant Registered Representative(s) to satisfy diligence and product knowledge requirements mandated by relevant law and regulation. Furthermore, Stonehaven conducts due diligence to maintain the reputation of our platform, properly vet our counter-parties, and optimize the capital raising process. This includes due diligence documentation requests that can provide a full commercial understanding of the Client and Offering, including but not limited to relevant marketing materials, organizational documents for the Client and Offering entities, key contractual agreements, critical third party service provider agreements, history/track record of the Client, etc.

Please note that you may save drafts of the form while you are collecting requisite documents and information. You may also contact Brian Gaffney (bgaffney@stonehaven-llc.com) with any questions or comments about the form.

Approval Process

Mandate Agreement ("MA") - Prior to completing this submission form, it is critical for the submitting Affiliate Partner and prospective Client to negotiate and have agreement on all key commercial terms (not just the headline fee) before we collectively spend too much time on diligence and precise contacting language.

Please note: While Stonehaven is generally aligned with Affiliate Partners in achieving fair and sound contract terms, Stonehaven, it's internal counsel and Stonehaven's external counsel (collectively, "Stonehaven Counsel") formally represent Stonehaven only, and do not represent Affiliate Partners with respect to the agreement associated with this submission or any other agreement. The Affiliate Partner acknowledges that it has not received and is not relying upon any purported legal advice of Stonehaven Counsel in connection with the agreement associated with this submission, and it will not rely upon any purported legal advice of Stonehaven’s Counsel in connection with any third-party agreements or otherwise. Stonehaven is not a law firm or legal services provider and does not provide legal advice, and Affiliate Partners shall not assert that they relied upon advice of Stonehaven in connection with the agreement associated with this submission or any other third-party agreement.

Diligence Review - The submitting Affiliate Partner should complete the form, collaborating with the Client to collect all relevant due diligence documentation. Provided that the submitting Affiliate Partner and the Client have agreed to all key contractual terms, Stonehaven will then review all descriptive information and materials in an attempt to understand the Client and Offering. To complete its diligence review Stonehaven will require:

Form Verification: The Mandate Submission Form (”MSF”) will be distributed to Client for verification following Stonehaven’s initial review.
Background Checks: As part of its mandate on-boarding process Stonehaven runs formal background checks on key principals related to new Mandates. The checks are fairly standardized in nature, covering criminal background, education, credit health, etc. Stonehaven typically run two checks.
Specific Feedback: Stonehaven will typically generate a set of unique Questions & Comments ("Q&C"), which we will ask for the submitting Affiliate Partner and subject Client to address. The responsibility for coordinating the Client's responses to the Q&C rests entirely with the submitting Affiliate Partner. Q&C may go through multiple rounds of questions; however, this form is intended to address as many due diligence items upfront as possible to minimize the follow-up Q&C.

Marketing Material Approval - Stonehaven will review the marketing material included with the submission form for compliance with relevant regulation and guidance. Stonehaven's comments and suggested edits will be included in the Q&C document. It is the submitting Affiliate Partner's responsibility to ensure that all relevant edits are made to the Client's marketing materials and then re-submitted to Stonehaven. Registered Representatives may only distribute marketing materials that have been reviewed and approved by Stonehaven and include Stonehaven's standard disclosure & disclaimer pages.

For the sake of clarity, the submission of the form does not complete diligence. Clients and Offerings are only considered approved after:

The MA or Non-Securities Transaction contract is in place (as applicable)
Stonehaven has reviewed a complete submission
The requested background checks are complete
The form is verified by the Client
The submitting Affiliate Partner and/or Client has fully responded to the relevant Q&C
The marketing material is approved with the proper disclaimer page on Stonehaven's Box.com file system (not applicable for non-Securities Real Estate Joint Venture Transactions)
The marketing of a non-approved Offering(s) is strictly prohibited.

Discretion with respect to the approval of the Client or Offering, or the interpretation of the Affiliate Mandate Submission process lies entirely with Stonehaven.

Stonehaven's goal is to manage the Client and Offering on-boarding process as expediently as possible while conducting proper due diligence to maintain the integrity of the platform. We greatly appreciate your help facilitating this process professionally.

Please note: Stonehaven's diligence review will only commence upon the receipt of complete and accurate forms. Forms that are submitted with erroneous or incomplete information will be rejected.

No member may omit any material fact or qualification if the omission, in light of the context of the material presented, would cause the communications to be misleading.”

It is noted that while many Clients are subject to SEC oversight, Stonehaven and its Affiliates are subject to FINRA oversight. Regulation standard between the SEC and FINRA do not always align perfectly. As such Clients need to understand and accept that some amends to their marketing material may be required in order for them to be approved for use by Stonehaven and its Affiliate Partners.

Hedge Fund Manager Scorecard

Stonehaven's Manager Scorecard was designed as an attempt to provide an objective measure of the quality of prospective Managers and mandates. The Scorecard includes 21 factors across 5 categories including: Strategy, Track Record, Team, Profile, Infrastructure & Capital Raising. Factor selections may carry either positive, negative or no score. The philosophy is that some selections are additive to the Manger's marketability or mandate's viability, while others are detractors, and others have no impact. The highest possible score is 100; although high quality Managers typically score in the 50s, 60s, 70s. It is worth noting that early stage managers, with low AUM, headcount and a limited track record do not score well. This does not mean they necessarily represent unattractive mandates. The Scorecard is not a "final verdict", but rather a single "barometric" type input in assessing the viability of a prospective mandate.
