Incentive Fee The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows:
Performance Fee The fee payable to the Advisor upon termination of this Agreement under certain circumstances if certain performance standards have been met pursuant to Section 4.03(b) or (c).
Base Management Fee The Base Management Fee will be calculated at an annual rate of 2.0% of the Company’s gross assets, exclusive of cash and cash equivalents. The base management fee will be payable quarterly in arrears and 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, in the case of our first quarter, our gross assets as of such quarter-end). The base management fee may or may not be taken in whole or in part at the discretion of the Adviser. All or any part of the base management fee not taken as to any quarter will be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the Adviser will determine. The base management fee for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately prorated.
