  (d)

Section 22. Section 22 of the Advisory Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“INITIAL INVESTMENT. Within twelve months of the Company Commencement Date, the Adviser or its Affiliate will commit Pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement by and between an Affiliate of the Adviser and the Company, dated as of March 23, 2023, as amended on August 11, 2023 and August 23, 2023, such Affiliate of the Adviser has committed to invest an aggregate of $150,000,000 $300,000,000 (the “Initial Investment”) into any class of Shares at a per share purchase price equal to the most recently determined “transaction price” (as defined in the Memorandum) per Share; provided, however, that if the Company has not determined a transaction price as of the date of the Initial Investment, the purchase price will equal $25.00 per Share of each class. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Adviser or its Affiliate agrees that the Adviser or its Affiliate will hold the Shares issued to the Adviser or its Affiliate representing its initial $200,000 of investment for so long as the Adviser or its Affiliate acts in an advisory capacity to the Company. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, the Adviser or its Affiliate will not be required to acquire additional Shares in the event that the net asset value of those Shares initially acquired falls below $200,000 at any time after such initial acquisition. The Adviser or its affiliate may not request that any of the Shares purchased with the Initial Investment be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Company’s share purchase program until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the date that the affiliate made such commitment and the date that the Company’s aggregate NAV is at least $1.5 billion, and any such repurchase request may be accepted only after all requests from unaffiliated stockholders first have been fulfilled. Neither Invesco, the Adviser, nor their Affiliates shall vote any Shares they now own, or hereafter acquire, or consent that such Shares be voted, on matters submitted to the Stockholders regarding (i) the removal of Invesco Advisers, Inc. or its Affiliates as the Adviser, (ii) the removal of any member of the Board who is affiliated with Invesco or (iii) any transaction by and between the Company and the Adviser, a member of the Board or any of their Affiliates.”

 

  (e)

Appendix A. The first paragraph of Appendix A of the Advisory Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“The Performance Fee payable by the Company to the Adviser with respect to the Company’s Class D Common Shares, Class I Common Shares, and Class S Common Shares and Class S-1 Common Shares shall be calculated as follows:”

2. No Other Amendments. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Advisory Agreement remains in full force and effect, as amended hereby.

3. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. The parties may sign this Amendment in the original, by facsimile, by .PDF or by any other generally acceptable electronic means.
