The Adviser was formed in March 2011. Star America Group Holdings, LLC is the majority
owner of the Adviser.
The Adviser provides infrastructure related investment advisory services to Star America
Infrastructure Fund, LP (“Main Fund”), comprised of the Star America Fund GP LLC
(“General Partner”) and external limited partners, and Star America Infrastructure Fund
Affiliates, LP (“Affiliates Fund”), comprised of the General Partner and limited partners that
are insiders at the time of subscription (collectively, the “Funds”).
The Funds’ purpose is to generate returns for its partners, principally through long-term
capital appreciation, by making, holding, and disposing of privately negotiated debt, equity,
and equity-related investments. The Funds target investments in infrastructure projects,
businesses, and assets, with a primary, though not exclusive, focus on greenfield
infrastructure projects that utilize public-private partnership (“P3”) structures usually
procured by a public authority (“Authority”). The geographic focus of the Funds’
investments is the United States and Canada. The Funds have a 10-year term with one 1-
year extension. Their underlying investment strategy is to build a diversified portfolio of
North American-based infrastructure assets, which are primarily greenfield, while generating
attractive risk-adjusted returns on low-risk profile assets and creating incremental returns
through value-added asset management. The Funds target projects primarily in the
transportation, social, and environmental sectors.
In providing advisory services to the Funds, the Adviser advises the development of the
investments, makes investment and divestment recommendations, manages the Funds’
assets, and provides reports to the General Partner. In most cases, the Funds have the ability
to select key individuals to run the company in which the Funds make an investment
(“Portfolio Company”) or to designate an Adviser employee to participate in a Portfolio
Company’s board meetings as a board member or an observer.
The Adviser performs these services according to the terms of the management agreements
between each of the Funds and the Adviser. In addition, the General Partner can restrict the
Adviser’s services to specific project areas.
The General Partner of the Funds retains ultimate discretion over the Funds’ investments and
is therefore registered with the SEC by way of, and in reliance upon, the registration of the
Adviser. The Adviser and the General Partner are filing a single form ADV based upon the
SEC’s expressed position in the American Bar Association No‐Action Letter published on
January 18, 2012. The Adviser’s investment discretion derives from the General Partner’s
discretion pursuant to this relationship and joint filing.
Based on the calculation for “regulatory assets under management,” as of December 31, 2018,
the Adviser had $300 million of assets under management that it manages on a discretionary
basis and no assets under management that it manages on a non-discretionary basis.
The Adviser is in the process of capital raising and nearing its first closing for Main Fund II,
comprised of Fund II GP and external limited partners, and Parallel Fund, comprised of Fund
II GP and external limited partners.
In addition to the Funds, the Adviser may also act as investment adviser to certain co-
investment vehicles or parallel funds, which invest side-by-side with the Funds (please see
Item 7 for more information).

Management Fees Each quarter, the Main Fund owes the Adviser one-fourth of the management fee in advance
on the first day of the quarter at an annual rate equal to 1.5% of committed capital until the
earlier of April 1, 2020 or the date when the Adviser, or an affiliate, begins to collect
management fees from a successor fund (the “Reduction Date”). After the Reduction Date,
the management fee will vary between 1.5% and 1.25% of invested capital until March 30,
2027. Beginning on March 31, 2027, the annual rate of management fee will be agreed to
between the General Partner and the Limited Partner Advisory Committee (“LPAC”) or by
a majority-in-interest of the limited partners of the Funds, but not counting any limited
partners who were insiders at the time of their acquisition of their limited partner interests.
The Main Fund pays management fees out of current cash flows, income and disposition of
proceeds of investments, to the extent necessary, from called capital commitments of the
Main Fund, or by drawing on the Funds’ credit facility, which causes the Main Fund to incur
related expenses borne by its limited partners. The precise amount of, and the manner and
calculation of, the management fees for each Fund is disclosed in the governing documents
of each Fund. The Adviser does not generally negotiate management fees; however, the
Adviser has offered scaled management fee reductions for early closing or larger investors
in its fund clients.
The Adviser does not charge Affiliates Fund any management fees. The General Partner is
not required to pay any management fees. The General Partner can waive or reduce
management fees with respect to any limited partner, and any such reduction or waiver
reduces the management fee dollar-for-dollar.
If the Funds or the Adviser terminate the management agreement prior to dissolution, the
General Partner shall: (a) promptly notify the limited partners; (b) arrange for other persons
(potentially including one or more of employees of the Adviser or their affiliates) to provide
to the Main Fund the services previously provided by the Adviser; and (c) pay from the Main
Fund funds reasonable compensation for such services and the expenses previously payable
by the Adviser, as provided in the management agreement, other than compensation of its
employees.
Carried Interest Carried interest is a share of the net profits realized on investments (“Carried Interest”) that
is paid to the General Partner as an incentive to maximize Fund performance. The amount
and method for calculating Carried Interest for a given Fund is described in the governing
documents of such Fund. The General Partner’s Carried Interest allocation is in addition to
any investment that such General Partner has made in a respective Fund. Co-investment
vehicles may or may not pay Carried Interest, based on their respective governing
documents. The Adviser and certain of its employees and affiliates can indirectly participate
in the Carried Interest paid to the General Partner.
The General Partner is not required to pay any Carried Interest. The General Partner has the
authority to waive or reduce the Carried Interest with respect to any limited partner. The
Adviser does not generally negotiate carried interest; however, the Adviser has offered
scaled carried interest reductions for early closing or large investors in its fund clients.
Placement Agent Fees The Adviser pays private placement costs or finders’ fees relating capital raising of the
Funds out of the management fees.
Other Compensation The Adviser, together with an affiliate of the Adviser, provides certain consulting and
management services to Portfolio Companies by providing loaned personnel or directly
employing staff at Portfolio Companies from time to time (“Portfolio Staff”). Through an
affiliate, the Adviser pays some or all costs associated with the Portfolio Staff. The Portfolio
Companies then reimburse the Adviser for these costs on a pass-through basis. The Adviser
does not make any profit on the reimbursement of such Portfolio Staff costs. Such
compensation does not offset the management fee payable by the Main Fund to the Adviser. In
all instances, the provision of such services to such Portfolio Companies, including the
economic terms and conditions thereof, are approved by the unrelated third-party members of
the team (the “Consortium”), who invest in such Portfolio Company alongside the Funds. In
addition, the Adviser believes that the economic terms and conditions of such arrangements
are no less favorable to such Portfolio Companies than the economic terms and conditions
under which similarly qualified third-parties would provide such services to such Portfolio
Companies. If Portfolio Staff provide only part of their work time to a Portfolio Company and
part of their work time to the Adviser, the costs and expenses are allocated among the relevant
entities on a basis that the Adviser determines in good faith is fair and equitable.
Additionally, employees of the Adviser may provide part-time or temporary technical
assistance or construction and project management services, or similar services to portfolio
companies. Any payments of up to $75,000 per annum per portfolio company received by
the Adviser for such services will not serve to offset management fees
Offsets Except as noted above in “Other Compensation” all net cash fees paid by a prospective
Portfolio Company to the Adviser or its employees for services rendered with respect to the
Funds’ investment or proposed investment in such company, including:
• directors’ fees,
• origination fees,
• commitment fees,
• break-up fees,
• consulting fees,
• financing fees,
• investment banking fees, and
• monitoring fees,
that exceed unreimbursed expenses (including unreimbursed unconsummated transaction
expenses), during any calendar year offset any transaction expenses advanced by Adviser or
its employees and are not reimbursed by the Funds. Any remaining amounts offset the
management fee payable in subsequent years, except that the management fee in any year
will not be reduced below zero. Cash fees will be deemed to be in an amount equal to the
gross amount of those fees reduced by all applicable taxes. Development fees and success
fees (“Development Fees”) are not offset against the management fee. Investment banking,
advisory service or other fees paid by a portfolio company that are not directly related to the
Funds’ investment in such portfolio company shall not be offset against the management fee.
Development Fee Paid to an Affiliate of the Adviser In the future, a Portfolio Company may pay an affiliate of the Adviser a Development Fee
for capital raising, P3 financial advisory services and merger and acquisition advisory
services, or similar services as part of the development of a P3 project. An affiliate would be
utilized where their unique and specialized expertise in the project areas would benefit the
investment. The General Partner of the Funds will only agree to pay a Development Fee to
the affiliate of the Adviser if it determines that the affiliate is best suited to serve the Funds’
interests as part of the development of a project. Unrelated third-party members of the
Consortium investing in such Portfolio Company alongside the Funds approve the
Development Fee for the service. This approval includes the economic terms and conditions
of the Development Fee. In addition, the Adviser will only agree to pay a Development Fee
to the affiliate of the Adviser if it believes that the economic terms and conditions of such
arrangements are no less favorable to such Portfolio Companies than the economic terms and
conditions under which similarly qualified third-parties would provide such services to such
Portfolio Companies. Any Development Fee paid by a Portfolio Company to an affiliate of
the Adviser would not be offset against the management fee.
Expenses The Funds pay for all expenses incurred in organizing and establishing the Funds and in
selling interests in the Funds to the limited partners, except for any private placement fees
or finders fees paid to third parties in connection with capital raising of the Funds, which
are borne by the Adviser. Organizational expenses in excess of an agreed cap, if any, are
borne by the Adviser or the General Partner.
The Adviser bears all normal operating expenses attributable to the Funds’ investment
activities, including:
• all recurring expenses incident to the investment activities of the Funds;
• compensation and expenses of the employees of the Adviser (except employees’
investment related travel expenses, whether the investment is consummated or not
consummated); and
• fees and expenses for administrative, clerical, and related support services,
maintenance of books and records, office space and facilities, utilities, and telephone
as they relate to the investment activities of the Funds.
The Funds are responsible for all other expenses other than normal operating expenses.
Normal operating expenses exclude:
• the management fee;
• liquidation expenses of the Funds, any sales taxes or other taxes, fees, or government
charges which may be assessed against the Funds, commissions or brokerage fees or
similar charges incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of securities
(including any merger fees payable to third parties whether or not any such purchase
or sale is consummated);
• travel expenses related to investment opportunities for the Funds (whether
consummated or not consummated) or investments of the Funds;
• expenses that do not exceed, in the aggregate, 1% of the aggregate subscriptions of
all partners in any fiscal year relating to investment opportunities for the Funds where
the Funds are part of a team of companies involved in a competitive process to secure
the rights to the investment opportunity (but any unused or reimbursed pursuit costs
from any fiscal year can be carried forward for use in any future fiscal year);
• reasonable costs and expenses (including travel-related expenses) of hosting annual
or special meetings of the partners, or otherwise holding meetings or conferences with
the partners of the Funds, whether individually or in a group, expenses associated
with preparation of the Funds’ financial statements and tax returns and reports to the
partners, interest expense for borrowed money (if any);
• all expenses relating to litigation and threatened litigation involving the Funds,
including indemnification expenses;
• expenses attributable to normal and extraordinary investment banking, commercial
banking, accounting, auditing, fund administrator, paying agents, registrars,
appraisal, legal, custodial, registration, and other third party services, including fees,
costs and expenses (including travel-related expenses) incurred in the actual or
proposed purchase, structuring, management, financing and disposition of securities
by the Funds that are not reimbursed by the issuer of such securities (whether or not
any such purchase or sale is consummated);
• premiums for liability insurance to protect the Funds, the General Partner, the Adviser
and any of their respective partners, members, managers, stockholders, officers,
directors, employees, agents or affiliates in connection with the activities of the
Funds; and
• all other expenses properly chargeable to the activities of the Funds,
provided however, that the cost of airfare associated with any travel shall be limited to the
reasonable cost of commercial airfare.
In addition, in some instances, the Portfolio Companies are responsible for reimbursing the
Funds for costs incurred on the Portfolio Companies’ behalf.
Co-Investment The Funds can make co-investments with one or more limited partners or their affiliates or
other third-parties as determined by the General Partner in accordance with the provisions of
the Main Fund governing documents.
The General Partner, the Adviser, and employees of the Adviser can participate in or receive
fees or Carried Interest with respect to co-investments.
Each limited partner (or its affiliate) or other person participating in a co-investment pays its
own separate expenses or fees with respect to any due diligence, legal or accounting review,
administration, management and dispositions of such co-investment securities, and
reimburses the Funds if the Funds incur additional expenses as a result of the participation of
such limited partner (or its affiliate) in such co-investment.

Indirectly through the General Partner, the Adviser and certain of its employees are eligible
to receive Carried Interest (please see Item 5 for further information). Carried Interest
qualifies as a performance-based fee subject to Section 205(a)(1) of the Advisers Act. This
arrangement complies with available exemptions thereunder, including the exemption set
forth in Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act.
While performance-based fee arrangements could create an incentive for the Adviser to
favor higher fee-paying accounts over other accounts in the allocation of investment
opportunities, at this time, neither the Adviser nor its supervised persons manage client
accounts that are charged a performance-based fee on a side-by-side basis with client
accounts that are charged another type of fee, such as an hourly, flat, or asset-based fee. As
such, the Adviser and its supervised persons do not currently face any such conflict of
interest.

The Adviser provides its services to institutional investors that are private funds (please see
Item 4 for a more detailed description of the Adviser’s current clients).
Minimum Investment Neither of the Funds is registered nor subject to regulation under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”). The minimum investment in the Main Fund
is $1 million for individual limited partner investors and $5 million for institutional limited
partner investors, unless an investment amount lower than this minimum amount is
approved by the General Partner. There is no minimum investment in Affiliates Fund.
Investor Eligibility Limited partner investors in private funds advised by the Adviser generally must be both (i)
“accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of
1933, and (ii) “qualified purchasers,” as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment
Company Act and the rules thereunder.
Co-Investment Vehicles One or more co-investment vehicles can be organized by the General Partner to mitigate
underwriting risk and to provide portfolio diversification. The General Partner has the
authority to offer co-investments to third parties, to certain members of the LPAC (but not
all), to certain limited partners (but not all), or to certain members of the LPAC and/or limited
partners in different proportions from other members of the LPAC and/or limited partners.
The General Partner will allocate any such investments between the Funds and co-investors
as it may determine in accordance with the relevant Fund governing documents.
Parallel Funds The General Partner has the authority to organize one or more parallel funds for legal,
regulatory, or tax reasons. The parallel funds will invest on a pro rata basis in all Main Fund
transactions and will be managed in accordance with the provisions of the Main Fund
governing documents.
Side Letters The General Partner, on behalf of itself or a Fund, and without the approval of any limited
partner, has the authority to enter into additional written agreements (“Side Letters”) with
one or more limited partners in order to meet certain requirements of such limited partner.
These Side Letters may entitle a limited partner to make an investment in the Fund on terms
other than those described in the Fund’s governing documents.

Investment Strategies The investment strategy of the Funds focuses on investments in a range of infrastructure
transactions with a primary focus on P3 projects in the transportation, social, environmental
and communication sectors, with a principal geographic focus on investments in the United
States and Canada.
The Adviser can recommend that the Fund undertake hedging activities to protect assets
against fluctuations in currency exchange rates or interest rates. The Adviser will make this
recommendation solely to hedge against risks and not for speculative investment purposes.
Methods of Analysis To deliver an optimized portfolio, the Adviser undertakes a detailed investment process,
starting with ongoing research and screening of the infrastructure market to identify and
analyze the projects to be pursued on an unsolicited basis or put out for tender in North
America. The management team then prepares a preliminary memorandum discussing the
identified investment opportunities and presents it to the Investment Committee. The
Investment Committee next determines whether the project meets the Funds’ investment
strategy with respect to targeted rate of return, infrastructure sector, asset size, market risk,
and competitive position, among others. All positive investment decisions of the Investment
Committee require unanimous approval.
If the Investment Committee approves the project at the preliminary stage, the management
team continues due diligence, including a critical review of the business plan and a rigorous
financial analysis of the project, and in some instances, presents additional information to
the Investment Committee during the process.
Prior to officially submitting the offer together with the other members of the Consortium
to the Authority or other counterparty, the terms of the financing offer, together with a
detailed risk analysis, is presented to the Investment Committee for offer approval. If this
offer is unanimously approved by the Investment Committee and accepted by the Authority
or counterparty, the management team proceeds with the project’s financial closing. After
closing, generally the Adviser’s personnel participate in Consortium board meetings as a
member or an observer.
Throughout the investment process, the Adviser consults third party advisers for the due
diligence, structuring, and negotiating of the investment opportunity, which sometimes
includes a financial advisor and/or model auditor.
Bridge Investments In some instances, the Funds provide interim financing or make short-term investments in
anticipation of making a portfolio investment, subject to certain timing and other restrictions
described in the Funds’ governing documents.
Risks Investing in securities involves risk of loss that investors should be prepared to bear.
An investment in the Funds entails a degree of risk and is suitable only for sophisticated
investors who fully understand and can bear the risks associated with the investment. Risks
involved with the investment strategy of the Funds include, among others:
• Illiquidity risk
• Liability for return of distributions
• Investment performance
• Inability to realize current income
•
Lack of complete control over investments
• Third-party and counterparty risk
•
Early termination
•
Uncertain asset valuation
•
Currency risk
• Changes in market circumstances
• Adverse developments in the debt capital markets
•
Regulatory risk
•
Environmental risks
•
Demand, usage, and patronage risk
• Deflation, inflation, and interest rate risk
•
Construction and development risk
•
Operational risk and catastrophic and force majeure events
•
Long term asset condition and lifecycle costs
The private placement memoranda provided to the limited partners of the Funds, as the same
is amended from time to time, describes the risks set forth above in greater detail. In addition
to risks related to the investment strategy discussed above, there are other risks associated
with investing in the Funds that are described in the private placement memoranda for the
Funds.

To mitigate conflicts of interest, if a Fund engages in any investment or other financial
transaction with the General Partner or any of its affiliates or certain employees of Adviser,
other than transactions expressly contemplated by the Funds’ governing documents, such
investment or transaction will be submitted to LPAC for prior approval. In addition, the
General Partner shall submit any transaction that it in good faith determines could pose a
potential conflict of interest that is not already addressed by the Fund governing documents
to LPAC for its review.
The Adviser is owned in majority by Star America Group Holdings LLC, which is owned
by William A. Marino, a management person of the Adviser. The Adviser is also under
common ownership with Star America Capital Advisors, LLC (“Capital Advisors”), a
registered broker-dealer that provides infrastructure related services including capital
raising, P3 financial advisory services, and merger and acquisition advisory services
(“Capital Advisor Services”).
Currently, the Adviser does not transact with or utilize the services of Capital Advisors;
however, on some occasions, the Adviser will introduce a project or Consortium member
to Capital Advisors (i) where the project is not in the best interests of the Funds, and (ii)
where the Consortium member and the Funds would both benefit from the Consortium
member receiving Capital Advisor Services. In addition, Capital Advisors will, on some
occasions, introduce projects or Consortium members to the Adviser, which the General
Partner could pursue if the project or teaming with Consortium member is in the best
interests of the Funds.
A Portfolio Company might pay Capital Advisors a Development Fee for Capital Advisor
Services as part of the development of a P3 project (please see Item 5 for further information).
Prior to engaging in that kind of transaction, the General Partner will obtain LPAC approval.
The Adviser is also under common ownership with Star America Capital Consultants, LLC
(“Capital Consultants”). Capital Consultants generally provides fee-based corporate
consulting services to construction contractors. Certain Adviser employees provide limited
services to Capital Consultants. To date, Capital Consultants has not provided any services
to the Funds or any Portfolio Company. If, in the future, services were to be provided, the
Fund would comply with the LPA.
In certain circumstances, in order to create efficiencies and optimize performance, one more
affiliates of the Adviser may share the operational, legal, financial, back-office, or other
resources, including shared personnel and consultants. Any costs and expenses related to
such shared resources will be allocated among the relevant entities on the basis that the
Adviser deems fair and equitable.
In addition, employees of the Adviser and its affiliates sometimes serve as managers,
directors, and/or officers of certain Portfolio Companies, and in that capacity, are required
to make decisions that consider the best interests of such Portfolio Company and its
shareholders. (Please see Item 5 for further information).

Personal Trading Code of Ethics and Personal Trading The Adviser has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”). The Code incorporates the
following fiduciary principles that all supervised persons of the Adviser are expected to
uphold:
Supervised persons must place the interests of the Clients first, and avoid
serving their own personal interests or the Adviser’s interests ahead of the
interests of the Clients;
The Adviser’s supervised persons must conduct all personal securities
transactions in a manner consistent with the Code, and must avoid any actual
or potential conflicts of interest or abuse of any supervised person’s position
of trust and responsibility;
Supervised persons must not take inappropriate advantage of their positions;
Information concerning the identity of securities and financial circumstances
of the Clients, including the Funds’ limited partners and information regarding
companies in which the Adviser is considering making an investment on behalf
of the clients, must be kept confidential;
• Independence in the decision-making process must be maintained at all times;
and
•
Supervised persons must at all times comply with applicable federal and state
securities laws and regulations.
In addition, the Adviser has adopted formal policies and procedures relating to (1) insider
trading, (2) privacy of personal financial information, (3) “pay to play,” and (4) anti- money
laundering regulations.
Further, the Adviser has established policies and procedures to monitor and resolve conflicts
with respect to investment opportunities in a manner it deems fair and equitable. These
include restrictions on personal trading imposed by the Code, requirements to pre-clear
certain types of investment transactions, reporting and monitoring of employee personal
trading activity, and monitoring for any transactions or trading patterns by the Adviser’s
supervised persons for any actual or perceived conflicts of interest. Investors or prospective
investors can request a copy of the Code by contacting the Adviser at the address or
telephone number listed on the first page of this brochure.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions The Adviser’s management has the ability to make significant commitments and
investments in the Funds. These investments by management of the Adviser align their
interests with the interests of the Funds’ limited partners. Because they place their personal
investments at risk alongside the Funds’ capital, the Adviser’s management has an incentive
to avoid risk of loss and apply operating practices designed to increase the value of the
Funds’ portfolio investments, thereby avoiding conflicts of interest. Similarly, the General
Partner’s capital commitments serve to mitigate potential conflicts of interest.
To further mitigate conflicts of interest, if a Fund engages in any investment with the
General Partner or any of its affiliates or certain employees of Adviser, other than
transactions expressly contemplated by the Funds’ governing documents, such investment
or transaction will be submitted to LPAC for prior approval.

The Funds invest in privately negotiated transactions; therefore, the Adviser does not
engage, select, or recommend brokers to effect transactions in securities.
Accordingly, the Adviser does not receive soft-dollar benefits, such as research or other
products or services from a broker-dealer or third party in connection with the execution of
client securities transactions. Note that the Adviser does at times receive information from
the underwriters engaged to service the Portfolio Companies; however, the receipt of this
information is in the best interests of the Funds, and it is the Adviser’s belief that it does not
create a conflict of interest.
Further, although Capital Advisors sometimes introduces a project or a Consortium member
to the Adviser, and vice versa, the Adviser does not use Capital Advisors brokerage services
to execute purchases or sales of publicly traded securities.
A Portfolio Company may pay Capital Advisors a Development Fee for Capital Advisor
Services provided to an Authority as part of the development of a P3 project (please see Item
5 for further information).
In addition, the Adviser has no occasion to and does not engage in directed brokerage. The
Adviser does not aggregate the purchase or sales orders of securities for various client
accounts.

Accounts The Adviser has engaged an independent certified public accountant of recognized national
standing to act as the auditor for the Funds. The General Partner delivers, within one
hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the end of each fiscal year, to each partner in the
Funds (i) a balance sheet, income statement, schedule of investments of the Funds as of the
end of such fiscal year, and statements of operations, partner’s equity, and cash flow for
such fiscal year, in each case prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) together with the auditors’ report thereon indicating
that the audit was performed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, (ii)
a summary description of each acquisition or disposition by the Funds during such fiscal
year, (iii) a statement of all distributions made to the Funds’ General Partner during the last
fiscal quarter of such fiscal year and during such entire fiscal year and such partner’s
estimated equity value as of the end of such fiscal year, and (iv) a valuation of the assets of
the Funds that have been owned, directly or indirectly, for at least one year. Annually, the
General Partner also delivers an annual report to the limited partners of the Main Fund.
The Adviser oversees the Funds financial reporting and routinely conduct reviews of the
Funds’ accounts and financial plans, which include preparation of a monthly internal asset
management report. In addition, each quarter, the General Partner distributes to the limited
partners a quarterly report, which includes unaudited financial statements and a capital
account statement.
Valuation The General Partner determines the fair market value of the Funds’ assets on a quarterly
basis. The fair market value will be expressed in U.S. Dollars and determined on the basis
of the valuation of the Funds’ assets using primarily a discounted cash flow method but for
certain investments other valuation methodologies are used, such as a capitalization rate.
The discount rate used in the analysis will be based on many different factors, including, but
not limited to, credit rating of the counterparties, project status, remaining risks, term and
type of project. The Adviser will also consider comparable precedent transactions to
determine value where appropriate. The General Partner will value the assets and such
valuation will be subject to annual review as part of the annual audit.

The Adviser has the authority to engage one or more persons to act as a placement agent for
a Fund in connection with the offer and sale of interests to certain prospective investors. The
Adviser and the placement agent will individually negotiate fees payable to a placement
agent. Generally, and except as otherwise set forth in the governing documents of a Fund,
the Adviser will ultimately bear all fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any placement agent
that solicits investors for Funds.

The Adviser is deemed to have custody of the Funds’ assets under Rule 206(4)-2 of the
Advisers Act by virtue of its relationship with the Funds’ General Partner and its ability to
access the Funds’ assets. Each limited partner of the Funds receives audited financial
statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, within 120 days of the end of each
fiscal year. The Funds’ Administrator is responsible for distributing these statements to the
limited partners on behalf of the General Partner and Adviser.

The Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Funds on a discretionary basis
and does not provide any investment advisory services on a non-discretionary basis.

advises the development of the investments, makes investment and divestment
recommendations, manages the Funds’ assets, and provides reports to the General Partner.
The General Partner can restrict the Adviser’s services to prohibit certain types of
investments and retains ultimate investment discretion over the Funds’ investments.
Please see Item 4 for more information about the discretionary authority of the General
Partner and Adviser.

Partner retains all voting authority. All communications concerning voting should be
directed to the General Partner, and any such communications received by the Adviser will
be promptly forwarded to the General Partner. At the request of the General Partner, the
Adviser will provide voting advice or recommendations.
