(3) Significant Agreements and RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Investment Advisory Agreement

On November 4, 2021, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement with our Adviser (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Investment Advisory Agreement had an initial term of two years and continues thereafter from year to year if approved annually by the Board of Directors or the Company’s unitholders, including, in each case, a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”). The renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement was most recently approved in August 2025.

The Company pays the Investment Adviser a fee for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of two components: a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee and the incentive fee are ultimately be borne by the unitholders.

Base Management Fee

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.25% of the Company’s average net asset value at the end of the two most recently completed calendar months. All or part of the base management fee not taken as to any month will be deferred without interest and may be taken in any subsequent month prior to the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, and any such recoupment would be subject to any applicable expense waiver. Base management fees for any partial month are prorated based on the number of days in the month. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears, any base management fees waived are not subject to recoupment by the Adviser.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, base management fees were $23,893, $33,957, and $21,048, net of waiver, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $3,236 and $7,337, respectively, was payable to the Investment Adviser relating to base management fees.

Incentive Fee

The incentive fee consists of two components that are determined independently of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. One component is based on income, and the other component is based on capital gains.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income is defined as interest income, dividend income and any other income accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter, including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement (as defined below) and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred units, but excluding the incentive fee and any servicing fees and/or distribution fees paid to broker dealers. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. The Investment Adviser is not obligated to return any incentive fee it receives on PIK interest that is later determined to be uncollectible in cash.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Investment Adviser an incentive fee with respect to its pre-incentive fee net investment income as follows:

For the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company incurred $27,358, $35,798 and $24,782, respectively, of expenses under the Administration Agreement, which were recorded in administrative service fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts unpaid and included in the payable to affiliates on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $4,176 and $8,399, respectively.

The second part of the incentive fee is determined on realized capital gains calculated and payable in arrears in cash as of the end of each calendar year or upon the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement in an amount equal to 12.5% of the realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC through the end of a given calendar year or upon the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees (the “Cumulative Capital Gains”).

Under U.S. GAAP, the Company is required to accrue an incentive fee on capital gains, including unrealized capital appreciation even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not included in calculating the incentive fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then the Company records an incentive fee on capital gain incentive fee equal to 12.5% of such amount less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. If such amount is negative, no accrual is recorded for such period.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, there were no capital gains incentive fees accrued to the Investment Adviser.

The Investment Advisory Agreement does not include unrealized capital appreciation for purposes of calculating the amount payable to the Investment Adviser. Amounts due related to unrealized capital appreciation, if any, will not be paid to the Investment Adviser until realized under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and determined based on the calculation. Incentive fees on Cumulative Capital Gains crystallize at calendar year-end.

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement

On November 30, 2021, the Company entered into an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement with the Investment Adviser, which was subsequently amended on March 15, 2022 (as amended, the “Expense Support Agreement”). The Investment Adviser may elect to pay the Company’s expenses on its behalf (each, an “Expense Payment”), provided that no portion of the payment will be used to pay any of the Company’s interest expense and/or unitholder servicing fees. The Expense Support Agreement may require the Company to repay the Investment Adviser for previously waived reimbursement of expense payments under certain circumstances. The previously waived expenses are potentially subject to repayment by the Company, if at all, within a period not to exceed three years from the date of the relevant waiver. Any reimbursement to the Adviser pursuant to the terms of the Expense Support Agreement would be an expense of the Company and would ultimately be borne by its unitholders.
