 Section 7. Management Fee. 

(a) The Company will pay the Investment Manager, on a quarterly basis, a management fee (the “Management Fee”) in respect of
each Member, in arrears, equal to the Applicable Percentage (as defined below) of such Member multiplied by the sum of (i) the Net Asset Value of the Units and (ii) the product of (a) all unfunded commitment amounts under any
Portfolio Investments with ongoing funding obligations (e.g., delayed-draw term loans) and (b) the Indebtedness Fraction (as defined below), each of (i) and (ii) as of the last day of each calendar quarter. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Management Fee shall not be charged with respect to any portion of the Company’s assets that are attributable to direct leverage. The “Indebtedness Fraction” means an amount equal to one minus a fraction, the numerator of which is the
total outstanding portfolio level indebtedness of the Company, and the denominator of which is the principal amount of any Portfolio Investments held by the Company. A Member’s “Applicable Percentage” shall be as set forth below: 

 

			
	 Aggregate Capital Commitment
of a
Member
	  	Applicable Percentage
	 $50,000 - $500,000
	  	1.50%
	 $500,001 - $1,000,000
	  	1.40%
	 $1,000,001 - $3,000,000
	  	1.30%
	 $3,000,001 $5,000,000
	  	1.15%
	 $5,000,001 and over
	  	1.00%

 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Member that makes a Capital Commitment on the Initial
Closing Date (each, a “Founding Member”), the Management Fee shall be waived (and shall not be charged) with respect to such Founding Member (including any additional Capital Commitments made by such Founding Member) until the six
month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date. 
 (c) Payment of the Management Fee shall be made within ten (10) days of the last day
of each calendar quarter, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. 
 (d) The Management Fee charged with respect to a Member shall
be prorated for any Capital Contribution or repurchase of Units that is effective other than as of the first day of a calendar quarter. 

(e) The Investment Manager may, in its discretion, reduce, waive or calculate differently the Management Fee charged at the Company level with
regard to the Units held by certain Members, including, without limitation, a Related Investor, so long as such reduction, waiver or calculation does not result in a preferential dividend under Section 562(c) of the Code.

 Section 8. Expenses of the Investment Manager. In consideration for the Management
Fee, the Investment Manager shall pay, without reimbursement by the Company, all of its own ordinary administrative, operating and overhead expenses and, except as provided herein, the Investment Manager and its Affiliates shall be responsible for
the expenses of providing their services to the Company, including overhead expenses (including general systems and technology, but excluding systems, data and technology developed or purchased for the predominant benefit of the Company’s
investment program), office expenses and compensation of their respective employees. 
 Section 9. Expenses of the Company. 

(a) The Company shall bear its own expenses in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.08 of the LLC Agreement. To the extent that
expenses to be borne by the Company are paid by the Investment Manager, the Company shall reimburse the Investment Manager for such expenses. 

(b) The Investment Manager shall be reimbursed by the Company for Organizational Expenses. Pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement, the
Investment Manager may determine to limit Organizational Expenses and Company Expenses in the aggregate that are borne by the Company to the extent necessary to prevent Organizational Expenses and Company Expenses, on an annualized basis, from
exceeding a percentage determined by the Investment Manager in its discretion. This limit shall be maintained until the third anniversary of the Initial Closing Date. Pursuant to such limit, any fees waived and expenses borne by the Investment
Manager may be reimbursed by the Company during the three year period that such limit is in place, provided that no reimbursement payment shall be made that would cause the Company’s expenses to exceed the same limit. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, extraordinary expenses (including, but not limited to, litigation expenses, indemnification expenses, lender liability expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s business), the Management Fee,
the Incentive Fee, interest expenses, financing costs and expenses, and reserves for and costs associated with determining current expected credit losses, shall not be included as Company Expenses for purposes of calculating the foregoing expense
limit. 
 Section 10. Exculpation; Indemnification. The Company shall exculpate and indemnify each Protected Person in
accordance with Sections 4.06 and 4.07 of the LLC Agreement. 
 Section 11. Activities of the Investment Manager and Others. The
Investment Manager and its Affiliates may engage, simultaneously with their investment management activities on behalf of the Company, in other businesses, and may render services similar to those described in this Agreement for other Persons, and
shall not by reason of such engaging in other businesses or rendering of services for others be deemed to be acting in conflict with the interests of the Company. AB Entities, in their respective individual capacities, may be Members, directors,
employees, agents or officers of the Company but shall not be deemed thereby to have interests that are in conflict with the interests of the Company. 

  
 - 10 - 








 Section 12. Use of Name. The Company acknowledges that it adopted its name through
the permission of the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager hereby consents to the non-exclusive use by the Company of its name (i.e., “AB Commercial Real Estate Private Debt Fund, LLC”)
only for so long as the Investment Manager serves as the investment manager of the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investment Manager and its Affiliates from and against any and all Indemnified Losses, which may arise
out of the Company’s use or misuse of the applicable name or out of any breach of or failure to comply with this Section 12. 

Section 13. Limitations on Reference to Investment Manager. The Company shall not distribute or circulate any sales literature,
promotional or other material which contains any reference to the Investment Manager without the prior approval of the Investment Manager and shall submit in draft form all such materials requiring approval of the Investment Manager, allowing
sufficient time for review by the Investment Manager and its counsel prior to any deadline for printing. If the Investment Manager ceases to furnish services to the Company, the Company at its expense: 

(a) as promptly as practicable, shall take all necessary action to cause the Company Documents to be amended to accomplish a change of name to
eliminate any reference to the Investment Manager; and 
 (b) within 60 days after the date as of which the Investment Manager ceases to
furnish services to the Company, shall cease to use in any other manner, including use in any sales literature or promotional material, the name of the Investment Manager.

parties expressly agree that all of the terms and provisions hereof shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be entirely performed in such state. 

Section 16. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, then such
provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such applicable law. Any provision hereof which may be held invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions hereof, and to this extent the provisions hereof shall be severable. 

Section 17. Forum. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event of any Proceeding arising out of the terms and conditions
