(“CSM”), Capital-Executive and Capital-Gas (collectively the “Managers”) and the Partnership’s general partner, CGP arising from certain terms of the following management and administrative services agreements. 1. Floating fee management agreements: Under the terms of these agreements the Partnership compensates its Managers for expenses and liabilities incurred on the Partnership’s behalf while providing the agreed services, including, but not limited to, crew, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, spares, lubricants and other operating costs. Costs and expenses associated with a managed vessel’s next scheduled dry-docking are borne by the Partnership and not by the Managers.

In addition, the Partnership reimburses CSM and CGP for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of these services, after CSM submits to the Partnership an invoice for such costs and expenses together with any supporting detail that may be reasonably required. These expenses are included in “General and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. In 2015, the Partnership entered into an executive services agreement with CGP, which was amended further in 2022, according to which CGP provides certain executive officers services for the management of the Partnership’s business as well as investor relations and corporate support services to the Partnership.
