| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (6/22/2026) [Brochure] |

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation TEP and its affiliated General Partners receive fees and compensation in exchange for advisory services provided to the Funds, including management fees, carried interest, additional compensation in connection with management services performed for the portfolio companies of the Funds and reimbursements from portfolio companies for certain expenses advanced on their behalf. The Funds are also responsible for bearing certain expenses as detailed below and in each Fund’s Governing Documents. Differences exist from Fund to Fund, and certain Funds do not charge certain fees, compensation or expenses that other Funds charge or charge them in different amounts. The following is a general description of fees, compensation and expenses of the Funds. Limited partners should refer to the Governing Documents of the applicable Fund for a complete understanding of how TEP is compensated for its advisory services; the information contained herein is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by such documents. Management Fees TEP charges each Fund a management fee (the “Management Fee”), generally 2% per annum of non- affiliated limited partners’ commitments. Specifically, Management Fees are initially charged at 2% of each non-affiliated limited partner’s committed capital for the period of time during which each Fund is making investments; thereafter, the Management Fee is equal to 2% of each non-affiliated limited partner’s invested capital with respect to investments that have not been disposed of or completely written off for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A Fund’s borrowings are generally taken into account for purposes of calculating the Management Fee, as provided in each Fund’s Governing Documents. The amount of Management Fees generally will not correspond with fluctuations in the net asset value of individual investments, aggregate investments in a portfolio company or of a Fund, including following the stepdown date, and will not be reduced in connection with any write-downs, except in the case of investments that have been completely written off for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Permanent write-down determinations are made in the discretion of the valuation committee in accordance with the relevant Governing Documents and the Firm’s valuation policy. Except where the Governing Documents expressly provide to the contrary, Management Fees will not be reduced (in whole or in part) in the case of partial distributions (e.g., those resulting from a dividend recapitalization), partial sales, reorganizations, restructurings, roll-over investments or similar transactions, in each case in circumstances that do not result in the complete disposition of the relevant Fund’s interest therein, and even in cases where the value of such Fund’s investment or ownership percentage in a portfolio company has been reduced as a result of such transaction. In addition, Management Fees generally will not be reimbursed or refunded under the Governing Documents in the event of realizations, dispositions or partial write-downs that occur partway through the relevant calculation period. Further, where there has been a partial disposition or permanent write-down of a Fund’s investment and the fair market value of the investment following such event exceeds the total amount of the Fund’s investment contributions relating to the investment, the Governing Documents do not require Management Fees after the stepdown date to be reduced. In most circumstances, the post-stepdown Management Fee base will include capitalized transaction-specific fees and expenses of unrealized investments, including transaction fees charged by TEP in connection with the investment, which poses a conflict of interest in that the inclusion of such fees and expenses results in a higher Management Fee than if such transaction fees and expenses were not capitalized into the asset base. Assessed quarterly in advance, Management Fees are collected through a capital call, through a draw- down on the Fund’s line of credit or offset against a distribution to limited partners. All Management Fees were negotiated with limited partners during the fundraising period of the applicable Fund and are not subject to negotiation thereafter. Generally, limited partners participating in a subsequent closing after the initial closing of a Fund are responsible for paying the Management Fee as of the date of the initial closing of such Fund, plus interest, as applicable. In addition, Management Fees are payable during term extensions unless otherwise notified to limited partners. The General Partners are permitted, in their sole discretion, to reduce or waive all or a portion of the Management Fee. Management Fees can differ from one Fund to another as well as among limited partners in the same Fund. Such differences can arise from the size of a limited partner’s commitment to a Fund, provisions of side letter agreements or other negotiated terms. Management Fees are generally waived for TEP employees investing in a Fund (either as direct limited partners or through a General Partner), affiliates, Operations Group members and their respective families investing in a Fund (although in each case, these limited partners generally pay their pro rata share of certain Fund expenses). Management Fees will generally be reduced by, as applicable: (i) the amount of fees paid by a Fund to entities or persons acting as a placement agent in connection with the offer and sale of interests in such Fund; (ii) costs incurred by TEP in connection with the organization of a Fund that exceed a limit as specified in such Fund’s Governing Documents; (iii) certain supplemental fees and compensation with respect to portfolio companies, including closing fees, investment banking fees, placement fees, litigation proceeds from transactions not consummated, monitoring fees, consulting ... |

Item 7 – Types of Clients TEP provides investment advice to its Funds, which are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Investment Company Act”). The Funds limit their respective limited partners to: (i) “accredited investors” as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, and (ii) “qualified purchasers” or “knowledgeable employees,” each as defined in the Investment Company Act, or (iii) if applicable, “qualified clients,” as defined in the Advisers Act. Investors in the Funds must also meet certain other suitability qualifications prior to making an investment in a Fund. The Funds are not registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act, are not made available to the general public, their securities are not registered or required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and Fund interests are privately placed to qualified investors. Qualified investors include individuals or entities to which Fund interests are permitted to be sold, which generally includes (i) in the United States, people or organizations who meet certain net worth, income and/or financial sophistication requirements as described above or (ii) in other countries, as permitted by the relevant securities laws in such jurisdiction and in compliance with any foreign offering provisions applicable to TEP and/or the Funds. The Funds typically require capital commitments from each limited partner of at least $5 million, depending on the Fund, although the applicable Fund’s General Partner has, in its sole discretion, accepted lesser amounts. The limited partners participating in the Funds currently include and are expected in the future to include high net worth individuals, other investment entities, university endowments, family offices, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates or charitable organizations, fund of funds, corporations, limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other business entities, Operations Group members or other service providers retained by TEP, and typically include, directly or indirectly, principals or other employees of TEP and its affiliates and members of their families. On occasion, TEP offers co-investment opportunities for certain investors to invest alongside a Fund in certain Fund portfolio companies. Opportunities to participate in co-investment transactions arise when TEP has the opportunity for an investment in an existing or prospective portfolio company and TEP determines that (i) an investment requires additional capital, (ii) all or a portion of the applicable opportunity is not required to be offered to a Fund, (iii) the full investment opportunity is not appropriate for a Fund, whether due to concentration restrictions contained in the Fund’s Governing Documents or otherwise or (iv) TEP believes the Fund will benefit from the participation of the co- investor(s). Such determinations are based on the provisions of the applicable Governing Documents, side letter agreements, agreements with lenders and such other factors as TEP will consider in its sole discretion, including those specified in its policies on investment allocation and co-investments. Subject to any restrictions contained in the Governing Documents of the relevant Fund or any side letter or other terms negotiated with respect to such Fund, in general no investor has a right to participate in any co-investment opportunity. TEP’s exercise of discretion in allocating co-investment opportunities will not always result in proportional allocations among co-investors and such allocations can be more or less advantageous to some co-investors relative to other co-investors. When co-investment opportunities are permitted, it is possible that the size of the investment opportunity otherwise available to the Fund will be less than it would otherwise have been without the inclusion of such co-investors. TEP will select the investors that are permitted to co-invest in a particular portfolio company in its sole discretion based on various factors, including those detailed in its Governing Documents and as outlined in its internal policies and procedures. While one or more limited partners in the Funds are on occasion invited to co-invest in a Fund’s portfolio companies, TEP is authorized in its sole discretion to offer any or all of a co-investment opportunity to investors that are not limited partners in the Funds. Co-investment opportunities are made available to select Fund limited partners and third parties, including, without limitation, management or founders of the applicable portfolio company, co-sponsors, strategic investors, lenders, investment bankers, deal sources (including finders and consultants), other sponsors (including other private equity or venture capital firms), service providers, Operations Group members, sector experts, strategic advisors, other persons or entities affiliated, associated or otherwise known to TEP or its personnel. Certain service providers, including lenders and individuals who source transactions, have in the past and are expected in the future to negotiate co-investment rights or co-investment priority rights as a component of their compensation in connection with the services provided. In certain cases, determinations to allocate such amounts or investment opportunities to vendors or service providers will be made prior to the determination of the availability of opportunity for other co-investors, and as such generally will decrease the amount of co-investment opportunities available. TEP can cause some co-investors to bear a Management Fee, Carried Interest or other fees while not imposing a Management Fee, Carried Interest or other fees (or imposing different fees) on other co- investors. In certain cases, co-investment opportunities can include opportunities to invest in Fund ... |
