Lone Star Americas Acquisitions Inc

Item 5: Fees and Compensation

Investors in a Client are advised to review the applicable Client’s Governing Documents for a
description of the specific fee and expense constructs applicable to each Client.

A. Management Fees

The Lone Star Funds generally pay a management fee (the “Management Fee”) to LSGA for its
advisory services, which consist of origination, strategic oversight and investment advice, and
certain investor relations services. Each Lone Star Fund’s Governing Documents set forth the
precise amount of, and the manner and calculation of, the Management Fees. Management Fees
paid by Lone Star Funds are indirectly borne by their investors. Management Fees constructs differ
among the Lone Star Funds and are based on (1) the committed capital of investors to the relevant
Lone Star Fund, (2) investors’ outstanding capital contributions, or (3) the invested capital of
investors in the relevant Lone Star Fund. For certain Lone Star Funds, the Management Fees
construct will differ depending on the stage in the Lone Star Fund’s life cycle. The fee structures
described herein may be modified from time to time as permitted by a Lone Star Fund’s Governing
Documents. The general partner has an incentive to deploy capital when it might not otherwise do
so in order to increase the Management Fee base. Each Lone Star Fund and its limited partners
continue to pay a Management Fee with respect to each investment that has not returned all of its
capital or been written down as prescribed by such Lone Star Fund’s Governing Documents.
Accordingly, a lower aggregate Management Fee will likely be paid with respect to an investment
that quickly returns capital than for an investment of similar size that does not return capital as
quickly. Management Fees reduce during the life of a Lone Star Fund. Investors in the same Lone
Star Fund pay different Management Fees according to its Governing Documents. Management
Fees paid by certain investment vehicles are different than those paid by investors in the Lone Star
Funds or other related investment vehicles. LSGA may, in its sole discretion, rebate payments of
the Management Fee with respect to a Lone Star Fund’s general partner and any limited partner
who is, or is an affiliate of, a partner of the general partner of the Lone Star Fund, and any limited
partner who is, or is an affiliate of, an employee or contractor of Hudson or Lone Star.

The Management Fees paid by a Lone Star Fund will generally be offset by: (i) the amount of fees
paid by such Lone Star Fund to persons acting as a placement agent in connection with the offer
and sale of interests in such Lone Star Fund to certain potential investors, (ii) the fees and expenses
incurred by LSGA or a Lone Star Fund’s general partner in connection with the formation,
marketing, and closing of a Lone Star Fund that exceed a dollar limit specified in such Lone Star
Fund’s Governing Documents and/or (iii) Additional Fees (as defined below). Lone Star and the
Lone Star Fund’s general partner are permitted to be reimbursed for expenses incurred on behalf of
a Lone Star Fund as permitted under such Lone Star Fund’s Governing Documents. The Lone Star
Fund’s allocable share of the Management Fee will generally be reduced by amounts payable to
Lone Star, a Lone Star Fund’s general partner, or their affiliates or their employees with respect to
monitoring, transaction, closing, financial advisory, investment banking, director, break-up fees, or
topping fees with respect to the business of a Lone Star Fund to which the Lone Star Fund’s general
partner, Lone Star, any of their affiliates or their employees are entitled, but excluding any fees
payable to Hudson (as defined below), Lone Star, Affiliated Service Providers (as defined below)

and their respective affiliates, or as otherwise provided in the applicable Lone Star Fund’s
Governing Documents (“Additional Fees”). Determinations as to whether the activities giving rise
to potential Additional Fees fall within the above-referenced categories are made by the Lone Star
Funds’ general partners in their sole discretion. The amount and manner of such offsets and
reductions, if any, are set forth in the Governing Documents of the applicable Lone Star Fund.

B. Advisory (Asset Management and Underwriting) and Administrative and
   Support Services

Clients pay fees, directly or indirectly, to Hudson Advisors L.P. (“HAL”), a related person of Lone
Star and an SEC-registered investment adviser in reliance on the registration of its wholly-owned
subsidiary Hudson Americas L.P. (“HAM”), for advisory services (including, but not limited to,
asset management and underwriting) and administrative and support services (HAL, HAM, and
HAM’s relying advisers and participating affiliates collectively “Hudson,” and such fees, “Hudson
Fees”). Hudson will receive asset management fees subject to the maximum fees by asset type set
forth in a Client’s Governing Documents. Accordingly, asset management fees, as determined by
Lone Star and Hudson in their sole discretion, will vary within the applicable maximum asset
management fee limits established in a given Client’s Governing Documents based on the nature
of the Client’s investments and investment business plans. Similar to the Management Fee base
described above, Hudson has an incentive to make recommendations resulting in a general partner
deploying capital and/or deferring the realization of investments to maintain or increase the asset
management fees or otherwise increase administrative and support fees payable to Hudson.

While the methodology for determining underwriting service fees and administrative and support
service fees for certain Lone Star Funds is based on a cost-plus methodology, such fees are charged
at market-based rates for newer Lone Star Funds. Market-based rates, which refer only to
contracted-for hourly rates and not total fees or hours incurred, will be determined by Lone Star
...

Item 7: Types of Clients

LSGA currently provides investment services to the Clients. The other relying advisers (as well as
LSAA) and participating affiliates listed in Item 10 below provide advisory services to LSGA.

Interests in the Clients are offered pursuant to applicable exemptions from registration under the
U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In addition, the Clients are not
registered as investment companies in reliance upon an applicable exemption under the U.S.
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Investors in the
Clients are generally “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under
the Securities Act and generally “qualified purchasers” as defined in the Investment Company Act,
and include, among others, corporate and public pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, university
endowments, foundations, funds of funds, and high net worth individuals. Certain Clients are
registered under the Bermuda Investment Funds Act, as amended.

The Adviser does not have a minimum size for a Client, but minimum investment commitments
are established for investors in the Clients. The general partner of each Client may in its sole
discretion permit investments below the minimum amounts set forth in the Governing Documents
of such Client.
