How do we value the GP carry upfront and the unit of shares? I see footnotes of 950000 class A and 50000 Class V shares in the Share Agreement for the GP earlier shared for us to engage Venture Partners?

Please see the Venture Partner Agreement and the included footnotes on 409A. Class A shares are issued to managers and partners in the GP, and Class V are issued to investors in the GP. Venture Partners are traditionally issued Class A. The Shares are generally issued at the inception of the Fund for a nominal value per Share, though there can be many complicating factors to consider.
