Under what conditions can the Fund claw back distributions from LPs, and how common is that in practice?

- LP clawback rights are governed by the LPA. In practice, a fund may require LPs to return prior distributions if needed to satisfy fund obligations, typically where earlier distributions created an overpayment or the fund later needs cash to cover liabilities.
- Some LPAs cap this giveback, for example up to 20% of distributions, but the exact trigger, cap, and repayment timing are document-specific.
- In practice, true LP clawbacks are not common. They are generally a backstop for unusual situations, not part of normal operations.
