Maximization of Unitholder Value through the Construction of a Proper Governance Structure

System of Investment Trust Management Fees at the Asset Manager

Canadian Solar Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (the “Investment Corporation”) adopts investment trust management fees linked with revenues from the leasing business in connection with the assets under management in the business period concerned (“Investment Trust Management Fees I”) and investment trust management fees linked with the sum of net income for the business period concerned and fixed adjustments (“Investment Trust Management Fees II”). By integrating these investment trust management fees, the Investment Corporation intends to give Canadian Asset Solar Management K.K. (the “Asset Manager”) an incentive to increase both the revenues from the leasing business and net income. By taking this measure, the Investment Corporation seeks to ensure that the profits of unitholders agree with the profits of the Asset Manager.

Investment Trust Management Fees I The amount of rents that arise from assets under management, incidental revenues, damages, penalties for the cancellation of lease contracts, money similar to such penalties and revenues from other types of leasing businesses x 6.0% (upper limit)
