Appendix B
Class F Performance Fee Calculations

The Class F Performance Fee payable by the Company to the Adviser with respect to the Company’s Class F Common Shares shall be calculated as follows:
The Class F Performance Fee payable with respect to each calendar year will be an amount per Class F Common Share equal to 10% of the amount (if any) by which the Performance Fee Income allocable to such Class F Common Share for such calendar year exceeds the Class F Hurdle Return for such Class F Common Share for such calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Class F Performance Fee will be payable with respect to any Class F Common Shares outstanding at the end of a calendar year (i) for any calendar year in which the Company’s aggregate Performance Fee Income with respect to all Class F Common Shares was less than the Class F Hurdle Return for such calendar year or (ii) for any calendar year in which the Company’s aggregate Performance Fee Income with respect to all Class F Common Shares for the rolling two-year period ending as of the last day of such calendar year was less than the Class F Hurdle Return for such rolling two-year period.
The Class F Performance Fee payable with respect to any Class F Common Share that is outstanding less than a full calendar year shall be calculated based on the Class F Performance Fee Income and Class F Hurdle Return for the period the Class F Common Share was outstanding.  For any Class F Common Share issued after the first day of the period, the Class F NAV Per Share of such Share shall be equal to the Transaction Price at which the Share was issued.  If Class F Common Shares are repurchased by the Company during a calendar period, the Class F Performance Fee shall be calculated with respect to such Shares as of the date of repurchase.
For purposes of the foregoing, the following definitions shall apply:
Class F Hurdle Return” means, with respect to any period and each Class F Common Share, the Performance Fee Income that results in a 6% annualized return on the Class F NAV Per Share of the Class F Common Shares as of the beginning of such period (or, for any Class F Common Share issued after the first day of such period, the Class F NAV Per Share as of the date on which the Share was issued).
Performance Fee Income” with respect to each Class F Common Share means the net income of the Company (determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP) allocable to such Class F Common Share adjusted as follows:
(i)    (A) prior to the Organization and Offering Expense Commencement Date, net income shall exclude Organization and Offering Expenses advanced by the Adviser during the relevant period and (B) prior to the Operating Expense Commencement Date, net income shall exclude Operating Expenses (including Borrowing Costs) advanced by the Adviser during the relevant period.
(ii)    after the Organization and Offering Expense Commencement Date and the Operating Expense Commencement Date, as applicable, the calculation of net income shall include: (A) Organization and Offering Expenses previously advanced by the Adviser that were repaid by the Company during the calendar year period (or partial period); (B) Operating Expenses (including Borrowing Costs) previously advanced by the Adviser that were repaid by the Company during the calendar year period (or partial period); (C) Organization and Offering Expenses incurred on or after the Organization and Offering Expense Commencement Date; and (D) Operating Expenses (including Borrowing Costs) incurred on or after the Operating Expense Commencement Date during the calendar year period (or partial period).
