ARA GC Partners LLC

Item 5      Fees and Compensation
Ara GC Partners is compensated for its advisory services as follows:

    •    Management fees
         LPs in the Funds may be charged a management fee that is called from each LP on a quarterly basis
         in advance, based upon calculations and terms detailed in the Fund’s Operating Agreements.
    •    Carried interest
         The GP of the Funds may receive up to 20% of the realized appreciation in the Funds, once certain
         return hurdles are met. Specific information with respect to the calculation of carried interest is
         included in the relevant Operating Agreements.
    •    Other fees
         The GP of the Main Funds may be entitled to receive topping, break-up, monitoring, administration,
         director’s, organizational, commitment, set-up, consulting, advisory, and other similar fees in
         connection with the purchase, monitoring or disposition of investments or from unconsummated
         transactions in respect of portfolio companies of the Funds. As defined in the Operating Agreement,
         100% of such fees received by Ara GC Partners benefit the LPs by way of a management fee offset.
         Ara GC Partners has not received any such fees to date, but retains the right to do so at the GP’s
         discretion. LPs in the Co-investment Funds may be periodically charged a fee, based upon
         calculations and terms detailed in such Co-Investment Fund’s Operating Agreement.
    •    GP Fee
         In the case of each of the Ara Energy Fund I and Infrastructure Fund, the GP will receive a fee (the
         “GP Fee”) payable annually by such Fund in an amount equal to the greater of (a) $10,000 and (b)
         the GP’s costs and expenses incurred in the performance of its general partner duties plus an arm’s
         length net profit, the amount of which will be determined from time to time by the GP in good
         faith.
These fees are disclosed in the Funds’ Operating Agreements and offering documents, as applicable. The
Firm and all supervised persons do not receive any other compensation for the sale of securities or other
investment products, other than what is disclosed herein.

Item 7      Types of Clients
Ara GC Partners provides investment advisory services to private funds, to which LPs commit capital and
make pro-rata contributions based on total committed capital. The majority of LPs are institutional investors,
such as pension funds, foundations, endowments and alternative asset funds of funds, and others, including
high net worth individuals. LPs must meet the minimum standards of an “Accredited Investor” under Rule
501A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). The minimum commitment accepted
from an LP is $5,000,000, subject to Ara GC Partners’ right to accept lesser amounts.
In addition, a Fund’s GP may enter into letter agreements or other similar arrangements (collectively, “Side
Letters”) with one or more LPs without the approval of any other LP that have the effect of establishing
rights under, or altering or supplementing the terms of the Operating Agreements of the Funds as they apply
to a particular LP. As a result of such Side Letters, certain LPs may receive additional benefits that other LPs
will not receive, including without limitation fee breaks, better information rights and transfer rights. The
other LPs will have no recourse against the Funds, Ara GC Partners or any of its affiliates in the event that
certain LPs receive additional or different rights or terms as a result of such Side Letters.
