The Base Management Fee for any partial month or quarter shall be appropriately prorated and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant month or quarter. The determination of gross assets will reflect changes in the fair value of the Company’s portfolio investments. The fair value of derivatives and swaps held in the Company’s portfolio, which will not necessarily equal the notional value of such derivatives and swaps, will be included in the calculation of gross assets. (b) The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows: (i) The first part of the Incentive Fee (the “Incentive Fee on Income”) shall be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter.

Therefore, net interest income, if any, associated with a derivative or swap (which is defined as the difference between (i) the interest income and transaction fees received in respect of the reference assets of the derivative or swap and (ii) all interest and other expenses paid by the Company to the derivative or swap counterparty) will be included in the calculation of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for purposes of the Incentive Fee on Income. (ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Incentive Fee on Capital Gains”) shall be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of this Agreement, as of the termination date), and shall equal 20% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each fiscal year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any subsequent transferee thereof may elect to have previously paid Incentive Fees on Capital Gains; provided that the Trust or the Operating Partnership repurchase such Class E Shares or Class E OP Units from the Adviser or such transferee at a later date Incentive Fee on Capital Gains determined at the price available in the Trust’s share repurchase plan or otherwise at the current NAV.

For purposes of computing the Incentive Fee on Capital Gains, the calculation methodology will look through derivatives or swaps as if the Company owned the reference assets directly. Therefore, realized gains and realized losses on the disposition of any partial calendar month reference assets, as well as unrealized depreciation on reference assets retained in the derivative or calendar year for which this Agreement was swap, will be included on a cumulative basis in effectthe calculation of the Incentive Fee on Capital Gains.

Pre-Incentive Fee and Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the DST Management Fee may be paid, value of the Company’s net assets at the Adviser’s electionend of the immediately preceding quarter, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts shall be compared to a “hurdle rate” of Class E Shares or Class E OP Units1.75% per quarter (7% annualized), subject to a “catch-up” provision measured as of the end of each quarter. The OP Company’s net investment income used to calculate the Incentive Fee on Income is also included in the amount of the Company’s gross assets used to calculate the Base Management Fee. The operation of the Incentive Fee may be paidon Income with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for each quarter is as follows: · No Incentive Fee on Income is payable to the Adviser in any quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.75%; · 100% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, at if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.19% in any quarter (8.76% annualized) is payable to the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E OP Units. If the Adviser elects to receive any This portion of the Management Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.19%) is referred to as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” provision is intended to provide the Adviser with an Incentive Fee on Income of 20% on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if a hurdle rate did not apply when the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 2.19% in Class E Shares or Class E OP Unitsany quarter; · 20% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.19% in any quarter (8.76% annualized) is payable to the Adviser (i.e., once the hurdle rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser); · For purposes of computing the Incentive Fee on Income, the Adviser calculation methodology will look through derivatives or any subsequent transferee thereof may elect swaps as if the Company owned the reference assets directly. Therefore, net interest income, if any, associated with a derivative or swap (which is defined as the difference between (i) the interest income and transaction fees received in respect of the reference assets of the derivative or swap and (ii) all interest and other expenses paid by the Company to have the Trust derivative or the Operating Partnership repurchase such Class E Shares or Class E OP Units from the Adviser or such transferee at a later date at the price available swap counterparty) will be included in the Trust’s share repurchase plan or otherwise at the current NAV.

The Adviser will have the option of exchanging Class E Shares for an equivalent aggregate NAV amount of other Share classesIncentive Fee on Income. c.

For this purpose, pre-Incentive Fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees and fees for providing significant managerial assistance or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued by the Company during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement to the Administrator, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay in kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7.00% annualized). The Company’s net investment income used to calculate this part of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of its gross assets used to calculate the 1.00% Base Management Fee. The Company will pay the Adviser an Incentive Fee with respect to the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.75%; (2) 50% of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.9167% in any calendar quarter (11.67% annualized); this portion of the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.9167%) is referred to herein as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide the Adviser with approximately 20% of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income as if a management fee hurdle did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 2.9167% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.9167% in any calendar quarter (11.67% annualized) payable to the Adviser (once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all pre-Incentive Fee investment income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser). These calculations will be appropriately pro-rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter. (ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Trust Management Capital Gains Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), commencing with December 31, 2011, and will equal to 1.2520.0% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net asset value for of all realized capital losses and net unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the Class S Sharesaggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain Incentive Fees, Class D Shares and Class I Shares per annum payable monthly, before giving effect with respect to any accruals for each of the Management Fee, shareholder servicing fees, the Performance Allocation (as defined investments in the Limited Partnership Agreement Company’s portfolio; provided that the Incentive Fee determined as of the Operating PartnershipDecember 31, as amended from time to time) or any distributions.

Compensation of the Adviser. a. The Trust Company agrees to pay, and the Adviser agrees to accept, as compensation for the services provided by the Adviser hereunder, a base management fee (“Base Management Fee”) and an incentive fee (“Incentive Fee”) as hereinafter set forth. The Company shall make any payments due hereunder to the Adviser or to the Adviser’s designee as the Adviser may otherwise direct. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Adviser may elect, or the Company may adopt a deferred compensation plan pursuant to which the Adviser may elect, to defer all or a portion of its fees hereunder for a specified period of time. (a) For the year ending December 31, 2017, the Base Management Fee shall be calculated at an annual rate of 2.00% of the Company’s gross assets, excluding temporary assets acquired at the end of each fiscal quarter for purposes of preserving investment flexibility for the next fiscal quarter. Effective as of January 1, 2018, the Base Management Fee shall be calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Company’s gross assets, excluding temporary assets acquired at the end of each fiscal quarter for purposes of preserving investment flexibility for the next fiscal quarter. Temporary assets include, but are not limited to, U.S. treasury bills, other short-term U.S. government or government agency securities, repurchase agreements or cash borrowings. (b) For services rendered under this agreement, the Base Management Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears. The Base Management Fee will be calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. Base Management Fees for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately pro-rated. (c) The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows: (i) One part will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-Incentive Fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees and fees for providing significant managerial assistance or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued by the Company during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement to the Administrator, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay in kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7.00% annualized). The Company’s net investment income used to calculate this part of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of its gross assets used to calculate the 2.00% base management fee. The Company will pay the Adviser an Incentive Fee with respect to the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.75%; (2) 100% of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); this portion of the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.1875%) is referred to herein as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide the Adviser with 20% of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income as if a management fee hurdle did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) payable to the Adviser (once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all pre-Incentive Fee investment income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser). These calculations will be appropriately pro-rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter. (ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Trust Management Capital Gains Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), commencing on December 31, 2007, and will equal 20.0% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the amount of any previously paid capital gain Incentive Fees, with respect to each of the investments in the Company’s portfolio; provided that the Incentive Fee determined as of December 31, 2007 will be calculated for a period of shorter than twelve calendar months to take into account any realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation from inception. In the event that this Agreement shall terminate as of a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date shall be treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying a Capital Gains Fee.

Compensation of the Adviser. a. The Trust Company agrees to pay, and the Adviser agrees to accept, as compensation for the services provided by the Adviser hereunder, a base management fee (“Base Management Fee”) and an incentive fee (“Incentive Fee”) as hereinafter set forth. The Company shall make any payments due hereunder to the Adviser or to the Adviser’s designee as the Adviser may otherwise direct. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Adviser may elect, or the Company may adopt a deferred compensation plan pursuant to which the Adviser may elect, to defer all or a portion of its fees hereunder for a specified period of time. (a) The Base Management Fee shall be calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Company’s gross assets, which for purposes of this Agreement shall be equal to the Company’s total assets as reflected on its balance sheet. For services rendered under this Agreement, the Base Management Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears. The Base Management fee will initially be calculated based on the value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the first calendar quarter subsequent to completing its initial public offering, and thereafter will be based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. However, for the first twelve months following the Company’s initial public offering, the Adviser agrees to waive the portion of the Base Management fee payable on cash and cash equivalents held at the Company level, excluding cash and cash equivalents held by CapitalSouth Partners Fund II Limited Partnership and CapitalSouth Partners SBIC Fund III, L.P. Base Management Fees for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately pro rated. (b) The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows: (i) One part will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-Incentive Fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees and fees for providing significant managerial assistance or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued by the Company during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement to the Administrator, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay in kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 2.0% per quarter (8.0% annualized). The Company’s net investment income used to calculate this part of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of its gross assets used to calculate the 1.75% base management fee. The Company will pay the Adviser an Incentive Fee with respect to the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.0%; (2) 100% of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10% annualized); this portion of the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.5%) is referred to herein as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide the Adviser with 20% of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income as if a management fee hurdle did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10% annualized) payable to the Adviser (once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all pre-Incentive Fee investment income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser). These calculations will be appropriately pro rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter. (ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Trust Management Capital Gains Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), commencing on December 31, 2013, and will equal to 1.2520.0% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net asset value of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain Incentive Fees, with respect to each of the investments in the Company’s portfolio; provided that the Incentive Fee determined as of December 31, 2013 will be calculated for a period of shorter than twelve calendar months to take into account any realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation from the Class S Shares, Class D Shares and Class I Shares per annum payable monthly, before giving effect to any accruals for date of the Management Fee, shareholder servicing feesCompany’s inception. In the event that this Agreement shall terminate as of a date that is not a calendar year end, the Performance Allocation (termination date shall be treated as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying a Capital Gains Fee. The Company will defer cash payment of the Operating Partnership, as amended from time to time) or any distributions.

The Trust Parties will pay the Adviser a management fee (the “DST Management Fee” and, together with the Trust Management Fee and the OP Management Fee, the “Management Fee”) equal to 1.25% per annum, payable monthly, of the aggregate DST Property Consideration for all DST Properties subject to a master lease. The Adviser shall receive the Management Fees as compensation for services rendered hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the DST Management Fee may be waived at the Adviser’s sole discretion and no Management Fee shall be paid on Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. b. The Trust Management Fee and the DST Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. The OP Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E OP Units.

The Operating Partnership will repurchase any such OP Units for cash unless the Board determines that any such repurchase for cash would be prohibited by applicable law or the Limited Partnership Agreement sum of the Operating PartnershipCompany’s (a) pre-incentive fee net investment income during such period, in which case (b) net unrealized appreciation or depreciation during such OP Units period and (c) net realized capital gains or losses during such period. Any deferred incentive fees will be repurchased carried over for payment in subsequent calculation periods to the Class E Shares with an equivalent aggregate NAVextent such payment is payable under this Agreement. The Adviser will have the option of exchanging Class E Shares for an equivalent aggregate NAV amount of other Share classes. c. If this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal, the Adviser Such deferred amounts will be entitled to receive calculated using a prorated Management Fee through period of shorter than twelve (12) full calendar months until twelve (12) full calendar months have passed since completion of the date of termination.

Compensation of the Adviser. a. The Trust Company agrees to pay, and the Adviser agrees to accept, as compensation for the services provided by the Adviser hereunder, a base management fee (“Base Management Fee”) and an incentive fee (“Incentive Fee”) as hereinafter set forth. The Company shall make any payments due hereunder to the Adviser or to the Adviser’s designee as the Adviser may otherwise direct. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Adviser may elect, or the Company may adopt a deferred compensation plan pursuant to which the Adviser may elect, to defer all or a portion of its fees hereunder for a specified period of time. (a) The Base Management Fee shall be calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Company’s gross assets. For services rendered under this Agreement, the Base Management Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears. The Adviser agrees to waive the portion of the Base Management Fee payable to it on any net proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering and Concurrent Private Placement (as such term is defined in the Company’s Registration Statement) that have not been invested in portfolio investments or otherwise used for the payment of outstanding borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility that were incurred in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the Initial Portfolio (as such term is defined in the Company’s Registration Statement); provided, however, for the purposes of such waiver, portfolio investments shall not include any temporary investments in cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high-quality investment grade debt investments that mature in 12 months or less from the date of investment. In all other instances, the Base Management Fee will be calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. Base Management Fees for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately pro rated. (b) The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows: (i) One part will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-Incentive Fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees and fees for providing significant managerial assistance or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued by the Company during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement to the Administrator, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income not yet received in cash; provided, however, that the portion of the Incentive Fee attributable to deferred interest features shall be paid, together with interest thereon from the date of deferral to the date of payment, at the prime rate published from time to time by the Wall Street Journal or, in the absence thereof, a bank chosen by the board of directors, only if and to the extent received in cash, and any accrual thereof shall be reversed if and to the extent such interest is reversed in connection with any write off or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to any deferred interest accrual, applied in each case in the order such interest was accrued. Such subsequent payments in respect of previously accrued income shall not reduce the amounts payable for any quarter pursuant to clause (ii) below. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7.00% annualized). The Company’s net investment income used to calculate this part of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of its gross assets used to calculate the 1.00% Base Management Fee. The Company will pay the Adviser an Incentive Fee with respect to the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.75%; (2) 50% of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.9167% in any calendar quarter (11.67% annualized); this portion of the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.9167%) is referred to herein as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide the Adviser with approximately 20% of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income as if a management fee hurdle did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 2.9167% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.9167% in any calendar quarter (11.67% annualized) payable to the Adviser (once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all pre-Incentive Fee investment income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser). These calculations will be appropriately pro rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter. (ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Trust Management Capital Gains Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), commencing with December 31, 2011, and will equal to 1.2520.0% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net asset value for of all realized capital losses and net unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the Class S Sharesaggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain Incentive Fees, Class D Shares and Class I Shares per annum payable monthly, before giving effect with respect to any accruals for each of the Management Fee, shareholder servicing fees, the Performance Allocation (as defined investments in the Limited Partnership Agreement Company’s portfolio; provided that the Incentive Fee determined as of the Operating PartnershipDecember 31, as amended from time to time) or any distributions.

The Adviser shall receive the Management Fees as compensation for services rendered hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the DST Management Fee may be waived at the Adviser’s sole discretion and no Management Fee shall be paid on Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. b. The Trust Management Fee and the DST Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. The OP Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E OP Units. If the Adviser elects to receive any portion of the Management Fee in Class E Shares or Class E OP Units, the Adviser or any subsequent transferee thereof may elect to have the Trust or the Operating Partnership repurchase such Class E Shares or Class E OP Units from the Adviser or such transferee at a later date at the price available in the Trust’s share repurchase plan or otherwise at the current NAV. Class E Shares and Class E OP Units (including those subsequently exchanged for Shares) obtained by the Adviser will not be subject to the repurchase limits of the Trust’s share repurchase plan or any reduction or penalty for an early repurchase. The Operating Partnership will repurchase any such OP Units for cash unless the Board determines that any such repurchase for cash would be prohibited by applicable law or the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, in which case such OP Units 2011 will be repurchased calculated for the Class E Shares with an equivalent aggregate NAV. The Adviser will have the option a period of exchanging Class E Shares for an equivalent aggregate NAV amount of other Share classes. c. If this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal, the Adviser will be entitled shorter than twelve calendar months to receive a prorated Management Fee through the date of termination. Such pro ration shall take into account any realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation from inception. In the number event that this Agreement shall terminate as of days of any partial calendar month or a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date shall be treated as though it were a calendar year end for which this Agreement was in effectpurposes of calculating and paying a Capital Gains Fee.

Compensation of the Adviser. a. The Trust Corporation agrees to pay, and the Adviser agrees to accept, as compensation for the services provided by the Adviser hereunder, a base management fee (“Base Management Fee”) and an incentive fee (“Incentive Fee”) as hereinafter set forth. The Adviser may agree to temporarily or permanently waive, in whole or in part, the Base Management Fee and/or the Incentive Fee. (a) The Base Management Fee shall be calculated at an annual rate of 2.00% of the Corporation’s gross assets. The Base Management Fee will be payable monthly in arrears, and will be calculated based on the value of the Corporation’s gross assets at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter, appropriately adjusted for any equity capital raises or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. Base Management Fees for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately pro rated. For the period commencing with the initial public offering of common stock of the Corporation (the “IPO”), through and including December 31, 2007, the Base Management Fee will be payable monthly in arrears, and will be calculated based on the initial value of the Corporation’s assets upon the closing of the IPO. (b) The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows: (i) One part will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-Incentive Fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees and other fees that the Corporation receives from portfolio companies) accrued by the Corporation during the calendar quarter, minus the Corporation’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement to the Administrator, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay in kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Corporation’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7.00% annualized), subject to a “catch-up” provision measured as of the end of each calendar quarter. The Corporation’s net investment income used to calculate this part of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of its gross assets used to calculate the 2.00% Base Management Fee. The Corporation will pay the Adviser an Incentive Fee with respect to the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.75%; (2) 100% of the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); we refer to this portion of our pre-Incentive Fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle but is less than or equal to 2.1875%) as the “catch-up.” For the absence of doubt, this “catch-up” is meant to provide the Adviser with 20% of the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income as if a management fee hurdle did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) payable to the Adviser (once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all pre-Incentive Fee investment income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser). These calculations will be appropriately pro rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter. (ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Trust Management Capital Gains Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), commencing on December 31, 2007, and will equal 20.0% of the Corporation’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain Incentive Fees, with respect to each of the investments in the Corporation’s portfolio; provided that the Incentive Fee determined as of December 31, 2007 will be calculated for a period of shorter than twelve calendar months to take into account any realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation from inception. In the event that this Agreement shall terminate as of a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date shall be treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying a Capital Gains Fee.

The Trust Parties will pay the Adviser a management fee (but does not fully satisfy the “DST Management Feecatch-upandprovision, together with therefore the Trust Management Fee and the OP Management Fee, the “Management Fee”) equal to 1.25% per annum, payable monthly, of the aggregate DST Property Consideration for all DST Properties subject to a master lease. The Adviser shall receive the Management Fees as compensation for services rendered hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the DST Management Fee may be waived at the Adviser’s sole discretion and no Management Fee shall be paid on Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. b. The Trust Management Fee and the DST Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. The OP Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E OP Units. If the Adviser elects to receive any income related portion of the Management Fee in Class E Shares or Class E OP Units, the Adviser or any subsequent transferee thereof may elect to have the Trust or the Operating Partnership repurchase such Class E Shares or Class E OP Units from the Adviser or such transferee at a later date at the price available in the Trust’s share repurchase plan or otherwise at the current NAVincentive fee is 0.25%.

Compensation of the Adviser. a. The Trust Corporation agrees to pay, and the Adviser agrees to accept, as compensation for the services provided by the Adviser hereunder, a base management fee (“Base Management Fee”) and an incentive fee (“Incentive Fee”) as hereinafter set forth. The Corporation shall make any payments due hereunder to the Adviser or to the Adviser’s designee as the Adviser may otherwise direct. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Adviser may elect, or the Corporation may adopt a deferred compensation plan pursuant to which the Adviser may elect, to defer all or a portion of its fees hereunder for a specified period of time. (a) The Base Management Fee shall be 1.50% per annum of the Corporation’s total assets (other than cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds).

For services rendered after such time, the Base Management Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears. Until January 1, 2005, the Base Management Fee will be calculated based on the initial value of the Corporation’s total assets after giving effect to the purchase of the portfolio assets (the “Portfolio”) as contemplated by the Agreement Regarding Purchase of Loan Portfolio, dated as of September 16, 2004, by and between the Corporation and Royal Bank of Canada (other than cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds). Subsequently, the Base Management Fee will be calculated based on the average value of the Corporation’s total assets (other than cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. Base Management Fees for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately pro rated. (b) The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows: (i) One part will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for the quarter. “Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Corporation receives from portfolio companies) accrued by the Corporation during the calendar quarter, minus the Corporation’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as market discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest, preferred stock with payment-in-kind dividends and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized and unrealized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Corporation’s net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 2.00% per quarter (8% annualized). The Corporation will pay the Adviser a management fee an Incentive Fee with respect to the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (A) no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate; (B) 100% of the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.50% in any calendar quarter (10% annualized); and (C) 20% of the amount of the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.50% in any calendar quarter (10% annualized). These calculations will be appropriately pro rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current quarter. (ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Trust Management Capital Gains Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), commencing with the calendar year ending on December 31, 2004, and is calculated at the end of each applicable year by subtracting (1) the sum of the Corporation’s cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from (2) the Corporation’s cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, in each case calculated from the Commencement Date. If such amount is positive at the end of such year, then the Capital Gains Fee for such year is equal to 1.2520.0% of net asset value such amount, less the aggregate amount of Capital Gains Fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no Capital Gains Fee for the Class S Shares, Class D Shares and Class I Shares per annum payable monthly, before giving effect to any accruals for the Management Fee, shareholder servicing feessuch year. If this Agreement shall terminate as of a date that is not a calendar year end, the Performance Allocation termination date shall be treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying a Capital Gains Fee. For purposes of this Section 3(b)(ii): The cumulative aggregate realized capital gains are calculated as the sum of the differences, if positive, between (as defined a) the net sales price of each investment in the Limited Partnership Agreement Corporation’s portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment. The cumulative aggregate realized capital losses are calculated as the sum of the Operating Partnership, as amended from time to timeamounts by which (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Corporation’s portfolio when sold is less than (b) the accreted or any distributionsamortized cost basis of such investment. The Operating Partnership will pay aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the Adviser a management fee (the “OP Management Fee”) equal to 1.25% per annum, payable monthly, sum of the net asset value differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment in the Corporation’s portfolio as of the Operating Partnership units applicable Capital Gains Fee calculation date and (“OP Units”b) attributable to Class S OP Units, Class S-1 OP Units, Class D OP Units, Class D-1 OP Units the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment. This amendment and Class I OP Units held by unitholders other than the Trust, before giving effect to any accruals for the OP Management Fee, investor servicing fees, the Performance Allocation (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement restatement of the Operating Partnership, Original Agreement shall not be treated as amended from time to time) or any distributions. The Trust Parties will pay the Adviser such a management fee (the “DST Management Fee” and, together with the Trust Management Fee and the OP Management Fee, the “Management Fee”) equal to 1.25% per annum, payable monthly, of the aggregate DST Property Consideration for all DST Properties subject to a master lease. The Adviser shall receive the Management Fees as compensation for services rendered hereunder.

The Operating Partnership will repurchase any such OP Units for cash unless the Board determines that any such repurchase for cash would be prohibited by applicable law or the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, in which case such OP Units These calculations will be repurchased appropriately pro rated for the Class E Shares with an equivalent aggregate NAV. The Adviser will have the option of exchanging Class E Shares for an equivalent aggregate NAV amount of other Share classes. c.

The Corporation shall make any payments due hereunder to the Adviser or to the Adviser's designee as the Adviser may otherwise direct. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Adviser may elect, or the Corporation may adopt a deferred compensation plan pursuant to which the Adviser may elect, to defer all or a portion of its fees hereunder for a specified period of time.

Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Corporation’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7% annualized). The Corporation will pay the Adviser an Incentive Fee with respect to the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows; (1) no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate; (2) 100% of the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); and (3) 20% of the amount of the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized). These calculations will be appropriately pro rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current quarter. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a management fee deferred interest feature such as market discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest, preferred stock with payment-in-kind dividends and zero coupon securities, accrued income that the Corporation has not yet received in cash. The Adviser is not under any obligation to reimburse the Corporation for any part of the Incentive Fee it received that was based on accrued income that the Corporation never actually received. (ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Trust Management Capital Gains Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), commencing with the calendar year ending on December 31, 2009, and is calculated at the end of each applicable year by subtracting (1) the sum of the Corporation’s cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from (2) the Corporation’s cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, in each case calculated from the beginning of each applicable year. If such amount is positive at the end of such year, then the Capital Gains Fee for such year is equal to 1.2520.0% of net asset value for the Class S Sharessuch amount, Class D Shares and Class I Shares per annum payable monthly, before giving effect to any accruals for the Management Fee, shareholder servicing fees, the Performance Allocation (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, as amended from time to time) or any distributions.

The Trust Parties will pay the Adviser a management fee (the “DST Management Fee” and, together with the Trust Management Fee and the OP Management Fee, the “Management Fee”) equal to 1.25% per annum, payable monthly, of less the aggregate DST Property Consideration for amount of Capital Gains Fees paid in all DST Properties subject to a master lease. The Adviser shall receive the Management Fees as compensation for services rendered hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the DST Management Fee may be waived at the Adviser’s sole discretion and no Management Fee shall be paid on Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. b. The Trust Management Fee and the DST Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. The OP Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E OP Unitsprior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no Capital Gains Fee for such year, provided that the Adviser elects to receive any portion Incentive Fee determined as of the Management Fee in Class E Shares or Class E OP UnitsDecember 31, the Adviser or any subsequent transferee thereof may elect to have the Trust or the Operating Partnership repurchase such Class E Shares or Class E OP Units from the Adviser or such transferee at a later date at the price available in the Trust’s share repurchase plan or otherwise at the current NAV. Class E Shares and Class E OP Units (including those subsequently exchanged for Shares) obtained by the Adviser will not be subject to the repurchase limits of the Trust’s share repurchase plan or any reduction or penalty for an early repurchase. The Operating Partnership will repurchase any such OP Units for cash unless the Board determines that any such repurchase for cash would be prohibited by applicable law or the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, in which case such OP Units 2009 will be repurchased calculated for the Class E Shares with an equivalent aggregate NAV. The Adviser will have the option a period of exchanging Class E Shares for an equivalent aggregate NAV amount of other Share classes. c. If this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal, the Adviser will be entitled shorter than twelve calendar months to receive a prorated Management Fee through the date of termination. Such pro ration shall take into account any realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation for the number period ending December 31, 2009. In the event that this Agreement shall terminate as of days of any partial calendar month or a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date shall be treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying a Capital Gains Fee. For purposes of this Section 3(b)(ii): The cumulative aggregate realized capital gains are calculated as the sum of the differences, if positive, between (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Corporation’s portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment. The cumulative aggregate realized capital losses are calculated as the sum of the amounts by which this Agreement was (a) the net sales price of each investment in effectthe Corporation’s portfolio when sold is less than (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment. The aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment in the Corporation’s portfolio as of the applicable Capital Gains Fee calculation date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

In the case of a liquidation of the Company or if this Agreement is terminated, the Incentive Fee on Income will also become payable as of the effective date of the event. For this purpose, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income means investment income and any other income accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the calendar quarter, including the Management Fee, expenses payable under this Agreement and the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any expense support payments or any reimbursements by the Company of expense support payments, or any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.25% per calendar quarter (5.00% annualized).

(2) All of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Quarterly Preferred Return, but is less than or equal to 1.43% (the “Upper Level Breakpoint”), for that calendar quarter will be payable to the Adviser. This portion of the Incentive Fee on Income is referred to as the “catch-up.” It is intended to provide an incentive fee of 12.50% on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches 1.43% for that calendar quarter, measured as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. The Quarterly Preferred Return of 1.25% and Upper Level Breakpoint of 1.43% are also adjusted for the actual number of days each calendar quarter. (3) For any quarter in which our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 1.43%, the Incentive Fee on Income will equal 12.50% of the amount of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, because the Quarterly Preferred Return and catch up will have been achieved. ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Incentive Fee on Capital Gains”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year of the Company (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), and will equal 12.50% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of such calendar year, net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, minus the aggregate amount of any partial calendar month or calendar year previously paid Incentive Fee on Capital Gains as calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). In no event will the Capital Gains Incentive Fee payable pursuant hereto be in excess of the amount permitted by the Advisers Act, including Section 205 thereof. Examples of the quarterly incentive fee calculation are attached hereto as Annex A. Such examples are included for which illustrative purposes only and are not considered part of this Agreement was in effectAgreement.

For this purpose, pre-Incentive Fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees and fees for providing significant managerial assistance or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued by the Company during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement to the Administrator, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay in kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 2.0% per quarter (8.0% annualized). The Company’s net investment income used to calculate this part of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of its gross assets used to calculate the 1.75% base management fee. The Company will pay the Adviser an Incentive Fee with respect to the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.0%; (2) 100% of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10% annualized); this portion of the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.5%) is referred to herein as the “catch-up.” The “catchup” is meant to provide the Adviser with 20% of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income as if a management fee hurdle did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10% annualized) payable to the Adviser (once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all pre-Incentive Fee investment income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser). These calculations will be appropriately pro-rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter. (ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Trust Management Capital Gains Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), commencing on December 31, 2021, and will equal to 1.2520.0% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis with respect to each of the investments in the Company’s portfolio from the fiscal quarter ending on or immediately prior to the date of this Agreement through the end of each calendar year beginning with the calendar year ending December 31, 2021, computed net asset value for of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis from September 30, 2021 through the Class S Sharesend of each calendar year beginning with the calendar year ending December 31, Class D Shares 2021, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid Capital Gain Fees under this Agreement. Any realized capital gains, realized capital losses and Class I Shares per annum payable monthly, before giving effect unrealized capital depreciation with respect to any accruals for the Management Company’s portfolio as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending on or immediately prior to the date of this Agreement shall be excluded from the calculations of the Capital Gains Fee, shareholder servicing fees. In the event that this Agreement shall terminate as of a date that is not a calendar year end, the Performance Allocation (termination date shall be treated as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying a Capital Gains Fee. The Company will defer cash payment of the Operating Partnership, as amended from time to time) or any distributions. The Operating Partnership will pay the Adviser a management fee (the “OP Management Fee”) equal to 1.25% per annum, payable monthly, of the net asset value of the Operating Partnership units (“OP Units”) attributable to Class S OP Units, Class S-1 OP Units, Class D OP Units, Class D-1 OP Units and Class I OP Units held by unitholders other than the Trust, before giving effect to any accruals for the OP Management Fee, investor servicing fees, the Performance Allocation (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, as amended from time to time) or any distributions. The Trust Parties will pay the Adviser a management fee (the “DST Management Fee” and, together with the Trust Management Fee and the OP Management Fee, the “Management Fee”) equal to 1.25% per annum, payable monthly, of the aggregate DST Property Consideration for all DST Properties subject to a master lease. The Adviser shall receive the Management Fees as compensation for services rendered hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the DST Management Fee may be waived at the Adviser’s sole discretion and no Management Fee shall be paid on Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. b. The Trust Management Fee and the DST Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. The OP Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E OP Units. If the Adviser elects to receive any portion of the Management Fee in Class E Shares or Class E OP Units, the Adviser or any subsequent transferee thereof may elect to have the Trust or the Operating Partnership repurchase such Class E Shares or Class E OP Units from the Adviser or such transferee at a later date at the price available in the Trust’s share repurchase plan or incentive fee otherwise at the current NAV. Class E Shares and Class E OP Units (including those subsequently exchanged for Shares) obtained earned by the Adviser will not be subject that would, when taken together with all other incentive fees paid to the repurchase limits Adviser during the most recent twelve (12) full calendar month period ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made, exceed 20% of the Trust’s share repurchase plan or any reduction or penalty for an early repurchase. The Operating Partnership will repurchase any such OP Units for cash unless the Board determines that any such repurchase for cash would be prohibited by applicable law or the Limited Partnership Agreement sum of the Operating PartnershipCompany’s (a) pre-Incentive Fee net investment income during such period, in which case (b) net unrealized appreciation or depreciation during such OP Units period and (c) net realized capital gains or losses during such period. Any deferred incentive fees will be repurchased carried over for payment in subsequent calculation periods to the Class E Shares with an equivalent aggregate NAV. The Adviser will have the option of exchanging Class E Shares for an equivalent aggregate NAV amount of other Share classesextent such payment is payable under this Agreement. c. If this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal, the Adviser will be entitled to receive a prorated Management Fee through the date of termination. Such pro ration shall take into account the number of days of any partial calendar month or calendar year for which this Agreement was in effect.

Compensation of the Adviser. a. The Trust Company agrees to pay, and the Adviser agrees to accept, as compensation for the services provided by the Adviser hereunder, a base management fee (“Base Management Fee”) and an incentive fee (“Incentive Fee”) as hereinafter set forth. The Company shall make any payments due hereunder to the Adviser or to the Adviser’s designee as the Adviser may otherwise direct. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Adviser may elect, or the Company may adopt a deferred compensation plan pursuant to which the Adviser may elect, to defer all or a portion of its fees hereunder for a specified period of time. (a) The Base Management Fee shall be calculated at an annual rate of 1.4% of the Company’s gross assets, as presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, less cash and cash equivalents. For services rendered under this Agreement, the Base Management Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears. The Base Management Fee will be calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted on a pro rata basis for any equity capital raised or repurchased during the current calendar quarter. Base Management Fees for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately pro rated. (b) The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows: (i) One part will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued by the Company during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the administration agreement with the Administrator, and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred membership units, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay in kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 2% per quarter (8% annualized), subject to a “catch-up” provision measured as of the end of each calendar quarter. The Company’s net investment income used to calculate this part of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of its gross assets used to calculate the 1.5% Base Management Fee. The Company will keep track of the transferred value of each of its assets acquired on May 19, 2011 and for purposes of the incentive fee calculation, adjust Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income to eliminate the effect of additional amortization of purchase discount or original issue discount taken into account in each period as a result of the lower original purchase price of assets acquired on May 19, 2011 as to the transferred value of that date. The Company will pay the Adviser a management fee an Incentive Fee with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2% (the “Trust Management preferred return” or “hurdle”); (2) 100% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10% annualized); this portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5%) is referred to herein as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 20% on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if a hurdle rate did not apply when the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10% annualized) payable to the Adviser once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, (20% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser). These calculations will be appropriately pro rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any equity capital raises or repurchases during the relevant calendar quarter. (ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Capital Gains Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), commencing on December 31, 2011, and will equal to 1.2520% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net asset value of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain Incentive Fees; provided that the Incentive Fee determined as of December 31, 2011 will be calculated for the Class S Shares, Class D Shares a period of shorter than twelve calendar months to take into account any realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and Class I Shares per annum payable monthly, before giving effect to any accruals for the Management Fee, shareholder servicing fees, the Performance Allocation (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement unrealized capital depreciation from inception. The Company will keep track of the Operating Partnershiptransferred value of each of its assets acquired on May 19, 2011 and for purposes of the second part of the incentive fee calculation, adjust realized capital gains, realized capital losses, unrealized capital appreciation and unrealized capital depreciation to eliminate the effect of the difference in cost basis and calculate these amounts “as amended from time to timeif” the GAAP built-in gain for each asset was zero on May 19, 2011. (iii) or any distributions. The Operating Partnership will pay last day of each calendar quarter in which the Adviser a management fee (the “OP Management Fee”) equal is entitled to 1.25% per annum, payable monthly, of the net asset value of the Operating Partnership units (“OP Units”) attributable to Class S OP Units, Class S-1 OP Units, Class D OP Units, Class D-1 OP Units and Class I OP Units held by unitholders other than the Trust, before giving effect to any accruals for the OP Management Fee, investor servicing fees, the Performance Allocation (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, as amended from time to time) or any distributions. The Trust Parties will pay the Adviser a management fee (the “DST Management Fee” and, together with the Trust Management Fee and the OP Management Fee, the “Management Fee”) equal to 1.25% per annum, payable monthly, of the aggregate DST Property Consideration for all DST Properties subject to a master lease. The Adviser shall receive the Management Fees as compensation for services rendered hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the DST Management Fee may be waived at the Adviser’s sole discretion and no Management an Incentive Fee shall be paid on Class E Shares or Class E OP Unitsreferred to herein as an “Incentive Fee Date. b. The Trust Management Fee and the DST Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. The OP Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E OP Units.

Class E Shares and Class E OP Units (including those subsequently exchanged for Shares) obtained by the Adviser will not be subject to the repurchase limits of the Trust’s share repurchase plan or any reduction or penalty for an early repurchase. The Operating Partnership will repurchase any such OP Units for cash unless the Board determines that any such repurchase for cash would be prohibited by applicable law or the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, in which case such OP Units will be repurchased for the Class E Shares with an equivalent aggregate NAV. The Adviser will have the option of exchanging Class E Shares for an equivalent aggregate NAV amount of other Share classes. c. If this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal, the Adviser will be entitled to receive a prorated Management Fee through the date of termination. Such pro ration shall take into account the number of days of any partial calendar month or calendar year for which this Agreement was in effect.

(b) The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows: (i) The first part shall be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income’’ for the immediately preceding quarter (or calendar year for upon termination of the investment advisory agreement, as of the termination date). The initial payment of this part of the Incentive Fee shall cover the entire quarter in which this Agreement becomes effective, and be calculated at the blended rate of (i) the number of days in such quarter prior to the Effective Date multiplied by the incentive fee on income as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, dated June 27, 2013, by and between the Company and Fifth Street Management LLC, plus (ii) the number of days in such quarter after and including the Effective Date multiplied by the incentive fee on income set forth below, then divided by (iii) the total number of days in such quarter, in order to allow the Adviser to receive on behalf of Fifth Street Management LLC and remit as paying agent the pro rata portion of the incentive fee on income that was earned by, but not paid to, Fifth Street Management LLC for services rendered to the Company under the Investment Advisory Agreement, dated June 27, 2013, by and between the Company and Fifth Street Management LLC. For this purpose, ‘‘Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income’’ means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies other than fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in effectthe case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash.

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter, shall be compared to a ‘‘hurdle rate’’ of 1.5% per quarter (6% annualized), subject to a ‘‘catch-up’’ provision measured as of the end of each quarter. The Company’s net investment income used to calculate this part of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of the Company’s gross assets used to calculate the 1% base management fee. The operation of the incentive fee with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for each quarter is as follows: • No incentive fee is payable to the Adviser in any quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.5% (the ‘‘preferred return’’ or ‘‘hurdle’’). • 100% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 1.8182% in any quarter (7.2727% annualized) is payable to the Adviser. This portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 1.8182%) is referred to as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” provision is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 17.5% on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if a hurdle rate did not apply when the Company’s Pre- Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 1.8182% in any quarter. • 17.5% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 1.8182% in any quarter (7.2727% annualized) is payable to the Adviser once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, (17.5% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser). (ii) The second part of the incentive fee shall be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the investment advisory agreement, as of the termination date), commencing the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and shall equal 17.5% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from the beginning of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019 through the end of each subsequent fiscal year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees under this Agreement. Any realized capital gains, realized capital losses, unrealized capital appreciation and unrealized capital depreciation with respect to the Company’s portfolio as of the end of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018 shall be excluded from the calculations of the second part of the incentive fee. (c) In certain circumstances the Adviser, any Sub-Adviser, or any of their respective affiliates, may receive compensation from a portfolio company in connection with the Company’s investment in such portfolio company. Any compensation received by the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, or any of their respective affiliates, attributable to the Company’s investment in any portfolio company, in excess of any of the limitations in or exemptions granted from the 1940 Act, any interpretation thereof by the staff of the SEC, or the conditions set forth in any exemptive relief granted to the Adviser, any Sub-Adviser or the Company by the SEC, shall be delivered promptly to the Company and the Company will retain such excess compensation for the benefit of its shareholders.

The Company shall make any payments due hereunder to the Adviser or to the Adviser’s designee as the Adviser may otherwise direct. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Adviser may elect, or the Company may adopt a deferred compensation plan pursuant to which the Adviser may elect, to defer all or a portion of its fees hereunder for a specified period of time. (a) The Base Management Fee shall be calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Company’s gross assets. For services rendered under this agreement, the Base Management Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears. The Base Management Fee will be calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. Base Management Fees for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately pro rated. In addition, the Adviser hereby agrees to waive any portion of the Base Management Fee that exceeds 1.50% of the Company’s gross assets until the first anniversary of the date of execution of this Agreement. (b) The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows: (i) One part will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter.

The Company will pay the Adviser an Incentive Fee with respect to the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.75%; (2) 100% of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); this portion of the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.1875%) is referred to herein as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide the Adviser with 20% of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income as if a management fee hurdle did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) payable to the Adviser (once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all pre-Incentive Fee investment income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser). These calculations will be appropriately pro rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter. (ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Trust Management Capital Gains Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), commencing with December 31, 2010, and will equal to 1.2520.0% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net asset value for of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the Class S Sharesamount of any previously paid capital gain Incentive Fees, Class D Shares and Class I Shares per annum payable monthly, before giving effect with respect to any accruals for each of the Management Fee, shareholder servicing fees, the Performance Allocation (as defined investments in the Limited Partnership Agreement Company’s portfolio; provided that the Incentive Fee determined as of the Operating PartnershipDecember 31, as amended from time to time) or any distributions.

The Adviser shall receive the Management Fees as compensation for services rendered hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the DST Management Fee may be waived at the Adviser’s sole discretion and no Management Fee shall be paid on Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. b. The Trust Management Fee and the DST Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. The OP Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E OP Units.

If this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal, the Adviser will be entitled shorter than twelve calendar months to receive a prorated Management Fee through the date of termination. Such pro ration shall take into account any realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation from inception. In the number event that this Agreement shall terminate as of days of any partial calendar month or a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date shall be treated as though it were a calendar year end for which this Agreement was in effectpurposes of calculating and paying a Capital Gains Fee. Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 1.25% Hurdle rate1 = 1.75% Management fee2 = 0.4375% Other expenses (legal, accounting, custodian, transfer agent, etc.)3 = 0.20% Pre-incentive fee net investment income (investment income – (management fee + other expenses)) = 0.6125% Pre-incentive net investment income does not exceed hurdle rate, therefore there is no incentive fee.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Adviser may elect, or adopt a deferred compensation plan pursuant to which it may elect, to defer all or a portion of its fees hereunder for a specified period of time. (a) The Base Management Fee shall be calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Corporation’s gross assets. For services rendered under this Agreement, the Base Management Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears. For the first calendar quarter of the Corporation’s operations, the Base Management Fee will be calculated based on the initial value of the Corporation’s gross assets. Subsequently, the Base Management Fee will be calculated based on the average value of the Corporation’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. Base Management Fees for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately pro rated. (b) The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows: (i) One part will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-Incentive Fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees and fees for providing significant managerial assistance or other fees that the Corporation receives from portfolio companies) accrued by the Corporation during the calendar quarter, minus the Corporation’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Corporation’s Administration Agreement to the Administrator, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee).

Compensation of the Adviser. a. The Trust Company agrees to pay, and the Adviser agrees to accept, as compensation for the services provided by the Adviser hereunder, a base management fee (“Base Management Fee”) and an incentive fee (“Incentive Fee”) as hereinafter set forth. The Company shall make any payments due hereunder to the Adviser or to the Adviser’s designee as the Adviser may otherwise direct. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Adviser may elect, or the Company may adopt a deferred compensation plan pursuant to which the Adviser may elect, to defer all or a portion of its fees hereunder for a specified period of time. (a) The Base Management Fee shall be calculated at an annual rate of 2.00% of the Company’s gross assets, excluding temporary assets acquired at the end of each fiscal quarter for purposes of preserving investment flexibility for the next fiscal quarter. Temporary assets include, but are not limited to, U.S. treasury bills, other short-term U.S. government or government agency securities, repurchase agreements or cash borrowings. (b) For services rendered under this agreement, the Base Management Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears. The Base Management Fee will be calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. Base Management Fees for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately pro-rated. (c) The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows: (i) One part will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-Incentive Fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees and fees for providing significant managerial assistance or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued by the Company during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement to the Administrator, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay in kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7.00% annualized). The Company’s net investment income used to calculate this part of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of its gross assets used to calculate the 2.00% base management fee. The Company will pay the Adviser an Incentive Fee with respect to the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.75%; (2) 100% of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); this portion of the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.1875%) is referred to herein as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide the Adviser with 20% of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income as if a management fee hurdle did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) payable to the Adviser (once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all pre-Incentive Fee investment income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser). These calculations will be appropriately pro-rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter. (ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Trust Management Capital Gains Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), commencing on December 31, 2007, and will equal to 1.2520.0% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net asset value for of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the Class S Sharesamount of any previously paid capital gain Incentive Fees, Class D Shares and Class I Shares per annum payable monthly, before giving effect with respect to any accruals for each of the Management Fee, shareholder servicing fees, the Performance Allocation (as defined investments in the Limited Partnership Agreement Company’s portfolio; provided that the Incentive Fee determined as of the Operating PartnershipDecember 31, as amended from time to time) or any distributions. The Operating Partnership will pay the Adviser a management fee (the “OP Management Fee”) equal to 1.25% per annum, payable monthly, of the net asset value of the Operating Partnership units (“OP Units”) attributable to Class S OP Units, Class S-1 OP Units, Class D OP Units, Class D-1 OP Units and Class I OP Units held by unitholders other than the Trust, before giving effect to any accruals for the OP Management Fee, investor servicing fees, the Performance Allocation (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, as amended from time to time) or any distributions. The Trust Parties will pay the Adviser a management fee (the “DST Management Fee” and, together with the Trust Management Fee and the OP Management Fee, the “Management Fee”) equal to 1.25% per annum, payable monthly, of the aggregate DST Property Consideration for all DST Properties subject to a master lease. The Adviser shall receive the Management Fees as compensation for services rendered hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the DST Management Fee may be waived at the Adviser’s sole discretion and no Management Fee shall be paid on Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. b. The Trust Management Fee and the DST Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. The OP Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E OP Units. If the Adviser elects to receive any portion of the Management Fee in Class E Shares or Class E OP Units, the Adviser or any subsequent transferee thereof may elect to have the Trust or the Operating Partnership repurchase such Class E Shares or Class E OP Units from the Adviser or such transferee at a later date at the price available in the Trust’s share repurchase plan or otherwise at the current NAV. Class E Shares and Class E OP Units (including those subsequently exchanged for Shares) obtained by the Adviser will not be subject to the repurchase limits of the Trust’s share repurchase plan or any reduction or penalty for an early repurchase. The Operating Partnership will repurchase any such OP Units for cash unless the Board determines that any such repurchase for cash would be prohibited by applicable law or the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, in which case such OP Units 2007 will be repurchased calculated for the Class E Shares with an equivalent aggregate NAV. The Adviser will have the option a period of exchanging Class E Shares for an equivalent aggregate NAV amount of other Share classes. c. If this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal, the Adviser will be entitled shorter than twelve calendar months to receive a prorated Management Fee through the date of termination. Such pro ration shall take into account any realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation from inception. In the number event that this Agreement shall terminate as of days of any partial calendar month or a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date shall be treated as though it were a calendar year end for which this Agreement was in effectpurposes of calculating and paying a Capital Gains Fee. Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 1.25% Hurdle rate (1) = 1.75% Management fee (2) = 0.50% Other expenses (legal, accounting, custodian, transfer agent, etc.) (3) = 0.20% Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income (investment income – (management fee + other expenses)) = 0.55% Pre-incentive net investment income does not exceed hurdle rate, therefore there is no Incentive Fee.

Compensation of the Adviser. a. The Trust Corporation agrees to pay, and the Adviser agrees to accept, as compensation for the services provided by the Adviser hereunder, a base management fee (“Base Management Fee”) and an incentive fee (“Incentive Fee”) as hereinafter set forth. The Corporation shall make any payments due hereunder to the Adviser or to the Adviser’s designee as the Adviser may otherwise direct. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Adviser may elect, or the Corporation may adopt a deferred compensation plan pursuant to which the Adviser may elect, to defer all or a portion of its fees hereunder for a specified period of time. (a) Effective April 1, 2018, the Base Management Fee shall be calculated initially at an annual rate of 1.50% (0.375% per quarter) of the average of the value of the Corporation’s gross assets (excluding cash or cash equivalents but including other assets purchased with borrowed amounts) at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters; provided, however, the Base Management Fee shall be calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% (0.250% per quarter) of the average of the value of the Corporation’s gross assets (excluding cash or cash equivalents but including other assets purchased with borrowed amounts) that exceeds the product of (i) 200% and (ii) the value of the Corporation’s net asset value at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter. The Base Management Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears. The Base Management Fee for any partial quarter will be appropriately pro-rated. (b) From the date of this Agreement until December 31, 2018, the Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows: (i) One part will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-Incentive Fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees but excluding fees for providing significant managerial assistance or other fees that the Corporation receives from portfolio companies) accrued by the Corporation during the calendar quarter, minus the Corporation’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, any expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Corporation’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “performance threshold” of 1.75% per quarter (7% annualized). The Corporation will pay the Adviser a management fee an Incentive Fee with respect to the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows; (1) no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not exceed the performance threshold; (2) 100% of the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the performance threshold but does not exceed 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) ; and (3) 20% of the amount of the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized). These calculations will be appropriately pro-rated for any period of less than three months. (ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Trust Management Capital Gains Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), and will equal to 1.2520.0% of the sum of the Corporation’s cumulative realized capital gains, cumulative realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation (unrealized capital depreciation on a gross investment-by-investment basis), less all Capital Gains Fee payments previously made to the Adviser. In the event that this Agreement shall terminate as of a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date shall be treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying a Capital Gains Fee. The Supplement attached hereto as Exhibit I illustrates the calculation of the Capital Gains Fee. (c) Following December 31, 2018, the Incentive Fee shall consist of two components that are independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. A portion of the Incentive Fee is based on the Corporation’s income (such fee referred to herein as the “Incentive Fee on Income”) and a portion is based on the Corporation’s capital gains (such fee referred to herein as the “Incentive Fee on Capital Gains”), each as described below. (i) The Incentive Fee on Income will be determined and paid quarterly in arrears based on the amount by which (x) the aggregate amount of the “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” (as defined below) in respect of the current calendar quarter and each of the eleven preceding calendar quarters beginning with the calendar quarter that commences on or after April 1, 2018, as the case may be (or the appropriate portion thereof in the case of any of the Corporation’s calendar quarters that commence January 1, 2019 and are one of the first eleven calendar quarters commencing on or after April 1, 2018) (in either case, the “Trailing Twelve Quarters”) exceeds (y) the Preferred Return Amount (as defined below) in respect of the Trailing Twelve Quarters. The Preferred Return Amount will be determined on a quarterly basis, and will be calculated by summing the amounts obtained by multiplying 1.75% by the Corporation’s net asset value for at the Class S Shares, Class D Shares and Class I Shares per annum payable monthly, before giving effect to any accruals for beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the Management Fee, shareholder servicing fees, the Performance Allocation (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, as amended from time to time) or any distributionsrelevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The Operating Partnership Preferred Return Amount will pay be calculated after making appropriate adjustments to the Adviser a management fee (the “OP Management Fee”) equal to 1.25% per annum, payable monthly, of the Corporation’s net asset value at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter for Corporation capital issuances and distributions during the applicable calendar quarter. Subject to Section 3(c)(ii) below, the amount of the Operating Partnership units Incentive Fee on Income that will be paid to the Adviser for a particular quarter will equal the excess of the Incentive Fee on Income so calculated less the aggregate Incentive Fees on Income that were paid to the Adviser (“OP Units”excluding waivers, if any) attributable to Class S OP Units, Class S-1 OP Units, Class D OP Units, Class D-1 OP Units and Class I OP Units held by unitholders other than the Trust, before giving effect to any accruals for the OP Management Fee, investor servicing fees, the Performance Allocation (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of preceding eleven calendar quarters (or portion thereof) comprising the Operating Partnership, as amended from time to time) or any distributions. The Trust Parties will pay the Adviser a management fee (the “DST Management Fee” and, together with the Trust Management Fee and the OP Management Fee, the “Management Fee”) equal to 1.25% per annum, payable monthly, of the aggregate DST Property Consideration for all DST Properties subject to a master lease. The Adviser shall receive the Management Fees as compensation for services rendered hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the DST Management Fee may be waived at the Adviser’s sole discretion and no Management Fee shall be paid on Class E Shares or Class E OP Unitsrelevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. b. The Trust Management Fee and the DST Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. The OP Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E OP Units. If the Adviser elects to receive any portion of the Management Fee in Class E Shares or Class E OP Units, the Adviser or any subsequent transferee thereof may elect to have the Trust or the Operating Partnership repurchase such Class E Shares or Class E OP Units from the Adviser or such transferee at a later date at the price available in the Trust’s share repurchase plan or otherwise at the current NAV. Class E Shares and Class E OP Units (including those subsequently exchanged for Shares) obtained by the Adviser will not be subject to the repurchase limits of the Trust’s share repurchase plan or any reduction or penalty for an early repurchase. The Operating Partnership will repurchase any such OP Units for cash unless the Board determines that any such repurchase for cash would be prohibited by applicable law or the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, in which case such OP Units will be repurchased for the Class E Shares with an equivalent aggregate NAV. The Adviser will have the option of exchanging Class E Shares for an equivalent aggregate NAV amount of other Share classes. c. If this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal, the Adviser will be entitled to receive a prorated Management Fee through the date of termination. Such pro ration shall take into account the number of days of any partial calendar month or calendar year for which this Agreement was in effect.

(b) The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows: (i) One part will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-Incentive Fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees and fees for providing significant managerial assistance or other fees that the Corporation receives from portfolio companies) accrued by the Corporation during the calendar quarter, minus the Corporation’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Corporation has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Corporation’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7% annualized). The Corporation will pay the Adviser a management fee an Incentive Fee with respect to the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows; (1) no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate; (2) 100% of the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); and (3) 20% of the amount of the Corporation’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized). These calculations will be appropriately pro rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current quarter. (ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Trust Management Capital Gains Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), commencing on December 31, 2004, and will equal to 1.2520.0% of net asset value the Corporation’s realized capital gains for the Class S Sharescalendar year, Class D Shares if any, computed net of all realized capital losses and Class I Shares per annum payable monthly, before giving effect to any accruals for the Management Fee, shareholder servicing fees, the Performance Allocation (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, as amended from time to time) or any distributions.

For the avoidance of doubt, the DST Management Fee may be waived unrealized capital depreciation at the Adviser’s sole discretion and no Management end of such year; provided that the Incentive Fee shall be paid on Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. b. The Trust Management Fee and the DST Management Fee may be paiddetermined as of December 31, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E Shares or Class E OP Units. The OP Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class E OP Units. If the Adviser elects to receive any portion of the Management Fee in Class E Shares or Class E OP Units, the Adviser or any subsequent transferee thereof may elect to have the Trust or the Operating Partnership repurchase such Class E Shares or Class E OP Units from the Adviser or such transferee at a later date at the price available in the Trust’s share repurchase plan or otherwise at the current NAV. Class E Shares and Class E OP Units (including those subsequently exchanged for Shares) obtained by the Adviser will not be subject to the repurchase limits of the Trust’s share repurchase plan or any reduction or penalty for an early repurchase. The Operating Partnership will repurchase any such OP Units for cash unless the Board determines that any such repurchase for cash would be prohibited by applicable law or the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, in which case such OP Units 2004 will be repurchased calculated for the Class E Shares with an equivalent aggregate NAV.

Such pro ration shall take into account any net realized capital gains, if any, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation for the number period ending December 31, 2004. In the event that this Agreement shall terminate as of days of any partial calendar month or a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date shall be treated as though it were a calendar year end for which this Agreement was in effectpurposes of calculating and paying a Capital Gains Fee.
