Common use of Incentive Fee Clause in Contracts

Incentive Fee. The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts—an incentive fee based on income and an incentive fee based on capital gains, as follows. (i) The part of the Incentive Fee based on income (the “Income Fee”) will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Fund’s aggregate Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in respect of the current calendar quarter and the eleven preceding calendar quarters (or the appropriate portion thereof in the case of any of the Fund’s first eleven calendar quarters) (in either case, the “Trailing Twelve Quarters”). (ii) For purposes of calculating the Income Fee, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income means the Fund’s interest income, distribution income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Fund receives from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the relevant calendar quarter(s), minus the Fund’s operating expenses incurred during the relevant calendar quarter(s) (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding debt or preferred shares, but excluding any distribution or shareholder servicing fees and the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as market discount, original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, preferred shares with PIK dividends and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Fund 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. For purposes of computing Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, the calculation methodology will look through derivative financial instruments or swaps as if the Fund owned the reference assets directly. Therefore, net interest income, if any, associated with a derivative financial instrument or swap (which represents the difference between (i) the interest income and fees received in respect of the reference assets of the derivative financial instrument or swap and (ii) the interest expense or financing charges paid by the Fund to the derivative or swap counterparty) will be included in the calculation of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for purposes of the Income Fee. (iii) Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters will be compared to a “Hurdle Amount” equal to the product of (i) the “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7.00% annualized) and (ii) the sum of the Fund’s net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any Incentive Fees payable during the period) at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The Hurdle Amount will be calculated after making appropriate adjustments to the Fund’s net asset value at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter for Fund subscriptions (which shall include all issuances by the Fund of its common shares, including issuances pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan) and distributions during the applicable calendar quarter. Subject to Section 3(b)( v), the Income Fee will be based on the amount by which (x) the aggregate Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters exceeds (y) the Hurdle Amount in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The Income Fee that will be paid to the Adviser in respect of a particular calendar quarter will equal the excess of the Income Fee as calculated pursuant to this Section 3(b) less the aggregate Income Fees that were paid to the Adviser in the preceding eleven calendar quarters (or portion thereof) comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. (iv) The Fund will pay the Income Fee in respect of each calendar quarter as follows: (i) No Income Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Fund’s aggregate Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters does not exceed the Hurdle Amount in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters; (ii) The Income Fee shall equal 100% of the Fund’s aggregate Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Amount but is less than or equal to an amount (the “Catch-Up Amount”) determined on a quarterly basis by multiplying 2.0588% by the Fund’s net asset value at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The Catch-Up Amount is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 15% on all of the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when the Fund’s aggregate Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters reaches the Catch-Up Amount in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters; and (iii) For any calendar quarter in which the Fund’s aggregate Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters exceeds the Catch-Up Amount, the Income Fee shall equal 15% of the amount of the Fund’s aggregate Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters that exceeds the Catch-Up Amount. These calculations will be appropriately pro-rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases by the Fund during the current quarter. (v) The Income Fee is subject to a cap (the “Incentive Fee Cap”). The Incentive Fee Cap in respect of any calendar quarter is an amount equal to 15% of the Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return (as defined below) during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters less the aggregate Income Fees that were paid to the Adviser in the preceding eleven calendar quarters (or portion thereof) comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. For this purpose, “Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return” during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters means (x) Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in respect of the Trailing Twelve Quarters less (y) any Net Capital Loss, if any, in respect of the Trailing Twelve Quarters. If, in any calendar quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value, the Fund shall pay no Income Fee to the Adviser in respect of that quarter. If, in any calendar quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is a positive value but is less than the Income Fee calculated in accordance with Section 3(b)(iv) above, the Fund shall pay the Adviser the Incentive Fee Cap in respect of such quarter. If, in any calendar quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is equal to or greater than the Income Fee calculated in accordance with Section 3(b)(iv) above, the Fund shall pay the Adviser the Income Fee in respect of such quarter. “Net Capital Loss” in respect of a particular period means the difference, if positive, between (i) aggregate capital losses, whether realized or unrealized, in respect of such period and (ii) aggregate capital gains, whether realized or unrealized, in respect of such period.
