Management Agreement

 

The Company on behalf of each Series entered into the Management Agreement with the Manager on September 2, 2025. Under the Management Agreement, the Manager is responsible for identifying, assessing, and overseeing the Company’s investment opportunities. The Manager also provides recommendations to the Principal Committee (or a member thereof) acting on behalf of Series II regarding the acquisition, management, financing, and sale of the Company’s assets (including the Infrastructure Assets), in alignment with the Company’s objectives, guidelines, policies, and limitations.

 

Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement

 

The Company, on behalf of each Series, entered into an Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) with the Manager on August 11, 2025, pursuant to which the Manager agreed to forgo an amount of its monthly management fee and/or pay, absorb or reimburse certain expenses of the Company (and in turn each Series), to the extent necessary through and including June 30, 2026, so that, for any fiscal year, the Company’s annual Specified Expenses (as defined below) do not exceed 0.75% of the Company’s net assets as of the end of each calendar month. The Company, on behalf of each Series, agreed to carry forward the amount of any forgone management fee and/or expenses paid, absorbed or reimbursed by the Manager, when and if requested by the Manager, within five years from the end of the month in which the Manager waived or reimbursed such fees or expenses (“Excess Expenses”) and to reimburse the Manager in the amount of such Excess Expenses as promptly as possible, on a monthly basis, but only if and to the extent that Specified Expenses plus any recoupment do not exceed 0.75% of the Company’s net assets at the end of each calendar month. The Manager is permitted to recapture a Specified Expense in the same year it is incurred. This arrangement terminated on June 30, 2026. “Specified Expenses” is defined to include all expenses incurred in the business of the Company and each Series, including organizational and offering costs and any costs associated with the transfer of a warehoused Infrastructure Asset to the Company, with the exception of (i) the management fee, (ii) the performance participation allocation, (iii) the servicing fee, (iv) Infrastructure Asset level expenses, (v) brokerage costs or other investment-related out-of-pocket expenses, including with respect to unconsummated transactions, in each case, accrued on or after the Company acquires its first Infrastructure Asset(s) (the “Initial Close”), (vi) dividend/interest payments (including any dividend payments, interest expenses, commitment fees, or other expenses related to any leverage incurred by the Company), (vii) taxes, (viii) ordinary corporate operating expenses (including costs and expenses related to hiring, retaining, and compensating employees, officers and directors of the Company) accrued on or after the Initial Close, (ix) certain insurance costs and (x) extraordinary expenses (as determined in the sole discretion of the Manager).

 

The Manager agreed to reimburse expenses of $198,020, and $642,214 incurred by the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and for the period from the Funding Date to December 31, 2025, respectively, pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement. The amounts are subject to recoupment within a five-year period. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $275,614 and $476,948, respectively, as Due from Manager.

 

The Manager believes that it is not probable for Series I to be required to reimburse the expenses waived by the Manager.

These amounts represent Series I’s proportionate share of reimbursements that are allocated to it through its investment in Series II and included within the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations within the net investment income and expenses allocated from Series II.

Certain of these organizational expenses were initially paid by the Manager on behalf of Series I. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, Series I did not incur organizational expenses associated with the formation of Series I and its intermediate entities.

 

Pursuant to the Company’s governing documents, the Company reimburses the Manager for organizational expenses incurred prior to the commencement of operations, subject to the terms of the Expense Limitation Agreement.

 

Offering expenses include registration fees and legal fees regarding the preparation of the general form of registration of securities. Offering expenses are accounted for as deferred costs until operations begin. Offering expenses are then amortized over the first twelve months of operations on a straight-line basis.

Management Agreement

 

The Company on behalf of each Series entered into the Management Agreement with the Manager on September 2, 2025. Under the Management Agreement, the Manager is responsible for identifying, assessing, and overseeing the Company’s investment opportunities. The Manager also provides recommendations to the Principal Committee (or a member thereof) acting on behalf of Series II regarding the acquisition, management, financing, and sale of the Company’s assets (including the Infrastructure Assets), in alignment with the Company’s objectives, guidelines, policies, and limitations.

 

Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager is entitled to receive a management fee (the “Management Fee”) from the Company in an amount equal to (i) 0.75% per annum of the month-end NAV attributable to Class F-S Shares, Class F-D Shares, Class F-I Shares, Class F-J Shares, Class F-STE Shares, Class F-DTE Shares, Class F-ITE Shares and Class F-JTE Shares; and (ii) 1.25% per annum of the month-end NAV attributable to Class S Shares, Class D Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class STE Shares, Class DTE Shares, Class ITE Shares and Class JTE Shares.

 

Class E Shares and Class ETE Shares do not incur a Management Fee.

 

The Management Fee is calculated based on the Company’s transactional NAV, which is the price at which the Company sells and redeems its Shares, and is computed before giving effect to any accruals for other fees and expenses.

 

The Manager earned a Management Fee of $556,484 and $929,209, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, none of which has been paid to the Manager as of June 30, 2026. The Manager did not earn a Management Fee for the period from the Funding Date to June 30, 2025.

 

Performance Participation Allocation

 

Performance Participation Allocation means the performance participation allocation to be received by the Manager equal to 12.5% of the Total Return attributable to Investor Shares, subject to a 5.0% annual Hurdle Amount and a High Water Mark with a 100% Catch-Up (each term defined in the LLC Agreement). Such allocation is measured and allocated or paid annually and accrued monthly (subject to pro-rating for partial periods).

 

Such Performance Participation Allocation is calculated based on transactional NAV, which is used to determine the price at which the Company sells and redeems Shares. The Class E Shares and Class ETE Shares do not bear any Performance Participation Allocation, and as a result, it is an expense specific only to Investor Shares at the rates specified herein, which results in the dilution of Investor Shares in proportion to the fees charged to different types of Investor Shares. To avoid duplication, Class I-type Shares bear their proportional share of the Performance Participation Allocation indirectly based on their proportional interest in the same class of Investor Shares directly subject to such Performance Participation Allocation.

 

Specifically, promptly following the end of each “Reference Period” (means the applicable year beginning on October 1 and ending on September 30 of the next succeeding year; provided, that the initial Reference Period shall be the period from July 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026), the Manager is allocated a Performance Participation Allocation in an amount equal to:

 

  First, if the Total Return with respect to Investor Shares for the applicable period exceeds the sum, with respect to such relevant type of Shares, of (i) the Hurdle Amount for that period and (ii) the Loss Carryforward Amount (any such excess, “Excess Profits”), 100% of such Excess Profits until the total amount allocated to the Manager equals 12.5% of the sum of (x) the Hurdle Amount for that period and (y) any amount allocated to the Manager with respect to such type of Shares pursuant to this clause (any such amount, the “Catch-Up”); and

 

  Second, to the extent there are remaining Excess Profits, 12.5% of such remaining Excess Profits.

The Manager is allocated a Performance Participation Allocation with respect to all Investor Shares that are redeemed in connection with redemptions of Shares, in an amount calculated as described above, with the relevant period being the portion of the Reference Period for which such Shares were outstanding, and proceeds for any such Share redemptions are reduced by the amount of the applicable Performance Participation Allocation.

 

The Manager may elect to receive the Performance Participation Allocation in cash, Class E Shares, or other beneficial interests or Shares in any Intermediate Entities, or any other class of Shares in the Manager’s sole discretion. If the Performance Participation Allocation is paid in Class E Shares, such Shares may be redeemed at the Manager’s request and are subject to the redemptions limitations of the share redemption program.

 

The Manager accrued a Performance Participation Allocation of $44,204 and $1,712,216 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, none of which has been paid to the Manager as of June 30, 2026. The Manager did not accrue a Performance Participation Allocation for the period from the Funding Date to June 30, 2025.

The Manager is permitted to recapture a Specified Expense in the same year it is incurred. “Specified Expenses” is defined to include all expenses incurred in the business of the Company and each Series, including organizational and offering costs and any costs associated with the transfer of a warehoused Infrastructure Asset to the Company, with the exception of (i) the management fee, (ii) the performance participation allocation, (iii) the servicing fee, (iv) Infrastructure Asset level expenses, (v) brokerage costs or other investment-related out-of-pocket expenses, including with respect to unconsummated transactions, in each case, accrued on or after the Company acquires its first Infrastructure Asset(s) (the “Initial Close”), (vi) dividend/interest payments (including any dividend payments, interest expenses, commitment fees, or other expenses related to any leverage incurred by the Company), (vii) taxes, (viii) ordinary corporate operating expenses (including costs and expenses related to hiring, retaining, and compensating employees, officers and directors of the Company) accrued on or after the Initial Close, (ix) certain insurance costs and (x) extraordinary expenses (as determined in the sole discretion of the Manager).
