   Re: Opinion of Counsel Securities Qualified Under Offering Statement on Form 1-A

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special counsel to Forte Investment Fund, LLC , a Delaware series limited liability company (the “Company”) in connection with the Company’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or about the date hereof of the Company’s Offering Statement on Form 1-A (as mended or supplemented, the “Offering Statement”) pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the filing of the Offering Statement and the offering of the Company’s investor shares (“Investor Shares”). The Offering Statement includes offerings of various series of membership interests (each, a “Series”), a series designation (each, a “Series Designation” and, collectively, the “Series Designations”) for each of which will be in the form filed with the Offering Statement, prior to the issuance thereof.

 

The Offering Statement relates, among other things, to the proposed issuance and sale by the Company (the “Offering”) of one series of the Company’s Interests (designated as the “Series Interests” on Schedule A to this opinion letter), as further described in the Offering Statement.

 

We assume that the Series Interests will be sold as described in the Offering Statement and pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement, to be entered into by and between the Company and each of the purchasers of the Series Interests (each, a “Subscription Agreement” and, collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”).

 

In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have reviewed such documents and made such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate to give the opinions set forth below. We have relied, without independent verification, on certificates of public officials and, as to matters of fact material to the opinions set forth below, on certificates of officers of the Company. As to certain matters of fact, both expressed and implied, we have relied upon representations, statements or certificates of officers of the Company.

 

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the stated assumptions, we are of the opinion that, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Offering Circular, the Investor Shares will be validly issued and fully paid, and holders of the Investor Shares will have no obligation to make payments or contributions to the Company or its creditors solely by reason of their ownership of the Investor Shares.
