To Whom It May Concern:

The undersigned, on behalf of himself, herself or an entity for which the undersigned is an authorized signatory (collectively, the “Selling Member”) hereby tenders to Ironwood Multi-Strategy Fund LLC (the “Feeder Fund”) all or a portion of the units of limited liability company interest of the Feeder Fund (“Units”) held by the Selling Member (such tendered Units as detailed on the Information Sheet attached hereto, the “Tendered Units”) for cash on the terms and conditions set out in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 28, 2017 (the “Offer”). THE OFFER AND THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL ARE SUBJECT TO ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT IN THE OFFER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT OF THE FEEDER FUND TO REJECT ANY AND ALL TENDERED UNITS DETERMINED BY IT, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, NOT TO BE PROPERLY TENDERED.

The Selling Member hereby:

agrees (a) to sell to the Feeder Fund the Tendered Units; (b) to execute and deliver any additional documents necessary to complete the sale in accordance with the terms of the Offer; (c) that all authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal will survive the death or incapacity of the Selling Member; (d) that the obligation of the Selling Member hereunder will be binding on the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Selling Member; and (e) that the tender of the Tendered Units is irrevocable by the Selling Member;

represents and warrants that (a) the Selling Member has full authority to sell the Tendered Units; (b) if the Feeder Fund determines to purchase all or a portion of the Tendered Units, the Feeder Fund will acquire good title to such Tendered Units, free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements, adverse claims or other obligations (except, for the avoidance of doubt, any obligations set forth in the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of the Feeder Fund or as may arise under applicable law); and (c) if the Selling Member is an entity, that the undersigned has full power and authority to sell the Tendered Units to the Feeder Fund pursuant to the terms of the Offer;

Cash Letter of Transmittal Page 1 of 4

acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Selling Member has received the Offer; (b) the Selling Member has had an opportunity to review the Offer and ask the Feeder Fund (or its affiliates) any questions that the Selling Member deems necessary to determine whether to tender the Tendered Units; and (c) under certain circumstances set out in the Offer, the Feeder Fund may not be required to purchase any or all of the Tendered Units;

acknowledges and agrees that, as of December 31, 2017 (the “Repurchase Date”), if the Feeder Fund determines to purchase all or any portion of the Tendered Units that have been held by the Selling Member for less than one year as of the Repurchase Date (such portion purchased, the “Purchased Units”), the Selling Member will be subject to a fee of 5.00% of the value of the Purchased Units, payable to the Feeder Fund (an “Early Repurchase Fee”) (in the event of a split tender, the Early Repurchase Fee will apply to the cash component of the tender, but not to the amount exchanged for units of limited liability company interest of Ironwood Institutional Multi-Strategy Fund LLC (the “Master Fund Units”);

acknowledges and agrees that, if the Purchased Units represent less than 95% of the Units held by the Selling Member, the Selling Member will receive the specified dollar amount equal to the net asset value of such Purchased Units, less the applicable Early Repurchase Fee. Promptly after the Repurchase Date, the Selling Member will be given a letter confirming acceptance of the tender with its promissory note held at the Feeder Fund until the Selling Member requests to have it sent to them. The Selling Member can request to be sent its non-interest bearing, non-transferable promissory note, which is issued by the Feeder Fund and entitles the Selling Member to be paid an amount equal to 100% of the unaudited net asset value of the Selling Member’s Purchased Units, determined as of the Repurchase Date (after giving effect to all allocations to be made as of that date to the Selling Member’s Units), less the applicable Early Repurchase Fee. The note will entitle the Selling Member to be paid upon the later of (i) 30 calendar days after the Repurchase Date and (ii) if the Master Fund has requested withdrawals of capital or redemptions of interests from any investment funds in order to fund the repurchase, 10 business days after Ironwood Institutional Multi-Strategy Fund LLC has received at least 90% of the aggregate amount withdrawn or redeemed from its investment funds (the “Payment Date”);

acknowledges and agrees that, if the Purchased Units represent 95% or more of the Units held by the Selling Member, the Selling Member will receive the specified dollar amount equal to the net asset value of such Purchased Units, less the applicable Early Repurchase Fee, and the Feeder Fund will issue the Selling Member (a) cash or a non-interest bearing, non-transferrable promissory note issued by the Feeder Fund in an amount equal to 95% of the estimated unaudited net asset value of the Selling Member’s Purchased Units (as of the Repurchase Date, after giving effect to all allocations to be made as of that date to the Selling Member’s Units), less any Early Repurchase Fee (the “Initial Payment”), which will be paid on or prior to the Payment Date; and (b) a non-interest bearing, non-transferable promissory note issued by the Feeder Fund entitling the Selling Member to up to the remaining 5% of the estimated unaudited net asset value of the Selling Member’s Purchased Units (as of the Repurchase Date, after giving effect to all allocations to be made as of the date to the Selling Member’s Units) (the “Subsequent Payment”), provided, however, that the amount of the Subsequent Payment may be adjusted and paid following the later of (i) 120 calendar days after the Repurchase Date; or (ii) such longer period as the board of directors of the Feeder Fund (the “Board”) in its discretion deems necessary to protect the interests of the remaining members in the Feeder Fund, in each case so that the sum of the Initial Payment and the Subsequent Payment is equal to 100% of the final net asset value of the Purchased Units (as of the Repurchase Date, after giving effect to all allocations to be made as of that date to the Selling Member’s Units), less the applicable Early Repurchase Fee, provided, further, that the Board in its discretion, but giving due regard to the interests of the remaining Selling Members, may determine to make payment in satisfaction of a repurchase at earlier dates than those otherwise listed here (in the event of a split tender, the various delayed payment and “hold-back” terms will apply to the cash component of the tender (as the Selling Member is necessarily tendering all of its Units in such case), whereas the terms described in the Transmittal Letter (In-Kind) will apply to the amount exchanged for Master Fund Units and no “hold-back” will be applied to the amount exchanged for Master Fund Units);

Cash Letter of Transmittal Page 2 of 4

acknowledges and agrees that if the Purchased Units are equal to less than all of the Units held by the Selling Member and the Feeder Fund’s purchase of the Purchased Units would cause the Selling Member’s remaining Units to have an aggregate net asset value of less than $25,000, the Feeder Fund may reduce the amount of the Purchased Units so that the Selling Member’s required minimum aggregate net asset value of Units is maintained.

acknowledges and agrees that (i) for each disposition of the Purchased Units by the Selling Member, the cost basis will be calculated using the Feeder Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out, unless the Selling Member has instructed the Feeder Fund in writing to use a different calculation method permitted by the Internal Revenue Service, including average cost or specific Unit lot identification and (ii) the cost basis method elected by the Selling Member (or the cost basis method applied by default) for each disposition of Purchased Units may not be changed after the settlement date of each such disposition of Purchased Units.

The undersigned, on behalf of himself, herself or an entity for which the undersigned is an authorized signatory (collectively, the “Selling Member”) hereby tenders to Ironwood Multi-Strategy Fund LLC (the “Feeder Fund”) all or a portion of the units of limited liability company interest of the Feeder Fund (“Units”) held by the Selling Member (such tendered Units, the “Tendered Units”) in exchange for limited liability company units of Ironwood Institutional Multi-Strategy Fund, LLC (the “Master Fund”) held by the Feeder Fund on the terms and conditions set out in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 28, 2017 (the “Offer”).

Exchange Letter of Transmittal Page 1 of 7

acknowledges and agrees that, as of December 31, 2017 (the “Repurchase Date”), if the Feeder Fund determines to purchase all or any portion of the Tendered Units that have been held by the Selling Member for less than one year as of the Repurchase Date (such portion purchased, the “Purchased Units”), the Selling Member will not be subject to a fee of 5.00% of the value of the Purchased Units, payable to the Feeder Fund (an “Early Repurchase Fee”), and that the Selling Member will be credited for the holding period of its Purchased Units when calculating any early repurchase fee that otherwise might be charged by the Master Fund in a subsequent tender of the relevant units of limited liability company interest of Ironwood Institutional Multi-Strategy Fund LLC (the “Master Fund Units”) (in the event of a split tender, the Early Repurchase Fee will apply to the cash component of the tender, but not to the amount exchanged for Master Fund Units);

acknowledges and agrees that, in exchange for the Purchased Units, promptly after the Repurchase Date, the Selling Member will be given a letter confirming acceptance of the tender with its promissory note held at the Feeder Fund until the Selling Member requests to have it sent to them. The Selling Member can request to be sent its non-interest bearing, non-transferable promissory note, which is issued by the Feeder Fund and entitles the Selling Member to be paid the requisite number of full or fractional limited liability company units issued by the Master Fund (the “Master Fund Units”) equal in value to 100% of the unaudited net asset value of the Purchased Units, determined as of the Repurchase Date (after giving effect to all allocations to be made as of that date to the Selling Member’s Units);

acknowledges and agrees that the payment of Master Fund Units to the Selling Member will occur promptly upon confirmation of the relative net asset values of the Purchased Units and the Master Fund Units, which is expected to be in January 2018;

acknowledges and agrees that (i) the various delayed payment and “hold-back” terms described for the cash repurchases offered by the Feeder Fund will not apply to the exchange of Purchased Units for Master Fund Units, (ii) in consideration for being exempt from those terms, a Selling Member tendering Purchased Units in exchange for Master Fund Units agrees to pay on demand any amount owed to the Feeder Fund as a result of a subsequent downward adjustment of the Feeder Fund’s net asset value as of the Repurchase Date in accordance with the terms of the Feeder Fund’s net asset value adjustment procedures (which generally limit adjustments to within 120 calendar days of the Repurchase Date), and (iii) at the option of the Feeder Fund, repayment can be effected by automatically enrolling the Selling Member in the Master Fund’s next regular cash tender offer to tender that limited portion of the Member’s Master Fund Units needed to fund the amount due to the Feeder Fund, with cash proceeds paid directly to the Feeder Fund (in the event of a split tender, the various delayed payment and “hold-back” terms will apply to the cash component of the tender, whereas the terms described in this paragraph will apply to the amount exchanged for Master Fund Units);

15.

If the undersigned is acting on behalf of, or using any assets of, (i) an “employee benefit plan” as defined in and subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), (ii) a “plan” as defined in and subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or (iii) an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” as a result of investments in the entity by such employee benefit plans or plans (each, a “Benefit Plan Investor”), the undersigned further certifies, on its own behalf and on behalf of such Plan, that:
