Adjusted Capital means the sum of (i) cumulative gross proceeds generated from issuances of the Shares (including the Company's distribution reinvestment plan), less (ii) distributions to investors that represent a return of capital and amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to the Company's share repurchase program. For purposes of computing the Incentive Fee, the calculation methodology will look through derivatives or swaps as if the Company owned the reference assets directly. Therefore, net interest, if any, associated with a derivative or swap (which represents the difference between (i) the interest income and fees received in respect of the reference assets of the derivative or swap and (ii) the interest expense paid by the Company to the derivative or swap counterparty) will be included in the calculation of quarterly pre-incentive fee net investment income for purposes of the Incentive Fee. The calculation of the Incentive Fee for each quarter is as follows: · No Incentive Fee shall be payable to the Advisor in any calendar quarter in which the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the preferred return rate of 1.50% (6.0% annualized) (the "Preferred Return") on Adjusted Capital. · 100% of the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the Preferred Return, but is less than or equal to 1.715% in any calendar quarter (6.86% annualized) shall be payable to the Advisor. This portion of the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income is referred to as the "catch-up." The "catch-up" provision is intended to provide the Advisor with an incentive fee of 12.5% on all of the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income in any calendar quarter when the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income reaches 1.715% in such calendar quarter (6.86% annualized). · 12.5% of the amount of the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 1.715% in any calendar quarter (6.86% annualized) shall be payable to the Advisor once the Preferred Return is reached and the catch-up has been achieved (12.5% of the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income thereafter shall be allocated to the Advisor).
