| (d) | “Organizational and Offering Expenses” for any period means all expenses incurred in connection with the organization of the Company and the Company’s ongoing offering of common stock, which are recorded as a component of equity; and |
| (e) | The “Expense Support Payment Period” shall mean (i) with respect to Operating Expenses, the period commencing effective as of December 31, 2013 (the “Operating Effective Date”) and until the first to occur of (a) such time as the gross proceeds received by the Company from its ongoing offering of its equity securities exceeds $25,000,000 (the “Offering Threshold”), or (b) the Termination Date (as defined herein), provided, however, with respect to any liabilities for Operating Expenses assumed by the Adviser pursuant to Section 1.1, above, the Operating Effective Date shall be July 8, 2014; and (ii) with respect to Organizational and Offering Expenses, the period commencing as of July 8, 2014 (the “Offering Effective Date”) until the first to occur of (a) the Company has achieved the Offering Threshold or (b) the Termination Date.

With respect to any Expense Support Payments attributable to Operating Expenses, the amount of the Reimbursement Payment attributable to Operating Expenses for any calendar quarter shall be reduced to the extent that such Reimbursement Payment, together with all other Reimbursement Payments paid during that fiscal year, would (i) cause Other Operating Expenses (on an annualized basis and net of any Expense Payments received by the Company during such fiscal year) to exceed the percentage of the Company’s average net assets attributable to shares of the Company’s common stock represented by Other Operating Expenses during the fiscal year in which such Expense Payment was made (provided, however, that this clause shall not apply to any Reimbursement Payment which relates to an Expense Payment made during the same fiscal year), or (ii) cause the annualized rate of regular cash distributions declared by the Company at the time of the Reimbursement Payment to be less than the annualized rate of regular cash distributions declared by the Company at the time the Adviser made the Expense Support Payment to which such Reimbursement Payment relates.
