EXHIBIT C

Altus Power, LLC (f/k/a Altus Power, Inc., “Altus”) and CBRE, Inc. (“CBRE”) Development Fee Approach

Objective – The Development Fee Approach encourages CBRE employees, including brokers, non-brokers and other employees (“CBRE Professionals”), to partner with Altus to bring Altus’ clean electrification solutions to CBRE’s client base throughout the U.S. and Europe. This approach will create a highly aligned environment to encourage efficient engagement between Altus and CBRE’s client base.

Qualified Referral – In order for a transaction to be eligible for compensation from Altus it must meet certain minimum requirements as a “Qualified Referral.” A Qualified Referral will be determined by Altus, and requires, at a minimum, the CBRE Professional to actively facilitate the initial and on-going communications between CBRE’s dedicated partnership team and/or Altus and the referral prospect (i.e., joint conference call, face-to-face meeting or referral contact information to allow direct communication) and support the overall interaction and follow up with the referral prospect through deal closing. If such referral property or client is already an existing Altus client, then Altus can determine at its discretion if such referral is a Qualified Referral. In addition, a transaction will be deemed a Qualified Referral when there is high certainty of closing, including actions such as Altus entering into a Power Purchase Agreement, Lease or Easement Agreement and/or receiving the Interconnection Services Agreement (if applicable) or PILOT Agreement (if applicable).

Development Agreement – For each Qualified Referral, the parties will execute an agreement in a form substantially similar to the Development Agreement as shown in Appendix I. The Development Agreement will be entered into between CBRE and the project-level entity associated with the Qualified Referral. The Development Agreement will define the development fee earned by CBRE and such fee may be between $0.015/watt to $0.030/watt depending on the business segment and teams of CBRE leaders involved. Altus will pay to CBRE the aggregated fees earned on a semi-annual basis and CBRE, at its discretion, will allocate those fees to employees and overhead associated with supporting the CBRE and Altus strategic partnership.

Miscellaneous – Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary, Altus shall not be obligated to provide any products or services to any potential customer referred by a CBRE Professional, and all pricing decisions related to the Altus products and services shall be made by Altus.
