Note 10 – Transactions with Related Parties

As of March 31, 2023, the Advisor had invested $1,000 in the Company through the purchase of 40,040 Class P shares. The purchase price per Class P share for the Advisor’s investment was equal to $25.00. The Advisor has agreed that, for so long as it or its affiliate is serving as the Company’s advisor, (i) it will not sell or transfer at least 8,000 of the Class P shares that it has purchased, accounting for $200 of its investment, to an unaffiliated third party and (ii) repurchase requests made for these Class P shares will only be accepted (a) on the last business day of a calendar quarter, (b) after all repurchase requests from all other stockholders for such quarter have been accepted and (c) to the extent that such repurchases do not cause total repurchases in the quarter in which they are being repurchased to exceed that quarter’s repurchase cap.

As of March 31, 2023, Sound Point Capital Management, LP (“Sound Point”), an affiliate of the Sub-Advisor, had invested $3,000 in the Company through the purchase of 120,000 Class P shares. The purchase price per Class P share for the Sub-Advisor's investment was $25.00. Sound Point has agreed that, for so long as the Sub-Advisor or its affiliate is serving as the Company’s sub-advisor, repurchase requests made for these Class P shares will only be accepted (a) on the last business day of a calendar quarter, (b) after all repurchase requests from all other stockholders for such quarter have been accepted and (c) to the extent that such repurchases do not cause total repurchases in the quarter in which they are being repurchased to exceed that quarter’s repurchase cap.

(1)
The Company reimburses the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor and their respective affiliates for costs and other expenses related to the Public Offerings, provided the Advisor has agreed to reimburse the Company to the extent that the organization and offering expenses that the Company incurs exceeds 15% of its gross proceeds from the Public Offerings.
(2)
For the Public Offerings, the Dealer Manager is entitled to receive (a) upfront selling commissions of up to 6.0%, and upfront dealer manager fees of up to 1.25%, of the transaction price of each Class A share sold in the primary offering, however such amounts may vary at certain participating broker-dealers provided that the sum will not exceed 7.25% of the transaction price; (b) upfront selling commissions of up to 3.0%, and upfront dealer manager fees of 0.5%, of the transaction price of each Class T share sold in the primary offering, however such amounts may vary at certain participating broker-dealers provided that the sum will not exceed 3.5% of the transaction price; and (c) upfront selling commissions of up to 3.5% of the transaction price of each Class S share sold in the primary offering. No upfront selling commissions or dealer manager fees are paid with respect to purchases of Class D shares, Class I shares or shares of any class sold pursuant to the DRP. All upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees will be reallowed (paid) by the Dealer Manager to participating broker-dealers.
(3)
The Advisor is entitled to receive an advisory fee comprised of two separate components: (1) a fixed component payable monthly and (2) a performance component payable annually. The fixed component of the advisory fee is paid in an amount equal to 1/12th of 1.25% of the Company’s average NAV for each month, paid monthly in arrears. The performance component of the advisory fee is calculated and paid annually, such that for any year in which the Company’s total return per share exceeds 7% per annum, the Advisor will receive 20% of the excess total return allocable to shares of the Company’s common stock; provided that in no event will the performance fee exceed 15% of the aggregate total return allocable to shares of the Company’s common stock for such year. In addition, if the NAV per share decreases below $25 for any class of shares during the measurement period, any subsequent increase in NAV per share to $25 (or such other adjusted number) will not be included in the calculation of the performance component with respect to that class. The Advisor pays fees to the Sub-Advisor for the services it delegates to the Sub-Advisor or may direct the Company to pay a portion of the fees otherwise payable to the Advisor directly to the Sub-Advisor.
(4)
The Company pays the Advisor all new loan origination and administrative fees related to CRE loans held for investment, to the extent that such fees are paid by the borrower. Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Advisor generally will reallow a portion of loan fees and all administrative fees to the Sub-Advisor.
(5)
Subject to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. limitations on underwriting compensation, the Company pays the Dealer Manager selling commissions over time as stockholder servicing fees for ongoing services rendered to stockholders by participating broker-dealers or broker-dealers servicing stockholders’ accounts as follows: (a) for Class T shares only, 0.85% per annum of the NAV of the Class T shares; (b) for Class S shares only, 0.85% per annum of the aggregate NAV for the Class S shares; and (c) for Class D shares only, 0.25% per annum of the aggregate NAV for the Class D shares. The Company will cease paying the stockholder servicing fee with respect to any Class T share, Class S share or Class D share held in a stockholder’s account upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company accrues the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee as an offering cost at the time the Company sells Class T, Class S, and Class D shares. The Dealer Manager does not retain any of these fees, all of which are retained by, or reallowed (paid) to, participating broker-dealers and servicing broker-dealers for ongoing stockholder services performed by such broker-dealers.

Expense Limitation Agreement

Pursuant to an expense limitation agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) dated July 1, 2021, the Advisor and Sub-Advisor agree to waive reimbursement of or pay, on a quarterly basis, certain of the Company’s ordinary operating expenses for each class of shares to the extent necessary to ensure that the ordinary operating expenses do not exceed 1.5% of the average monthly net assets on

an annualized basis (the “1.5% Expense Limit”). Amounts waived or paid by the Advisor or Sub-Advisor pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement are subject to conditional repayment on a quarterly basis by the Company during the three years following the quarter in which the expenses were incurred, but only to the extent such repayment does not cause the Company to exceed its then-current expenses limitation, if any, for such quarter. Any waiver or reimbursement by the Advisor or Sub-Advisor not repaid by the Company within the three-year period will be deemed permanently waived and not subject to repayment under the Expense Limitation Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the amounts of ordinary operating expenses either submitted for reimbursement by the Advisor and Sub-Advisor or incurred by the Company directly that were subject to the Expense Limitation Agreement did not exceed the 1.5% Expense Limit.

Separately from the limitation on ordinary operating expenses under the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Advisor and Sub-Advisor voluntarily chose not to seek reimbursement for certain expenses that they incurred or paid on behalf of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and for which they may have been entitled to be reimbursed. The Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement provide that expenses will be submitted monthly to the Company for reimbursement, and the amount of expenses submitted for reimbursement in any particular month is not necessarily indicative of the total amount of expenses actually incurred by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor in providing services to the Company and for which reimbursement could have been received by the Advisor or Sub-Advisor.

Revolving Credit Liquidity Letter Agreements

IREIC, the Company’s sponsor, and Sound Point have agreed under separate letter agreements dated July 20, 2021, and July 15, 2021, respectively, to make revolving credit loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time not to exceed $5,000 and $15,000, respectively (the “IREIC-Sound Point Commitments”) from time to time until the Termination Date (defined below) of the letter agreements. These letter agreements are identical to each other in all material respects other than the commitment amounts. Use of the IREIC-Sound Point Commitments is limited to satisfying requirements to maintain cash or cash equivalents under the Company’s repurchase and other borrowing arrangements. The “Termination Date” is the earliest of (i) the Maturity Date (defined below) (ii) the first date on which the Company’s balance sheet equity is equal to or greater than $500,000, (iii) the date IREIC or one of its affiliates is no longer the Company’s advisor or Sound Point or one of its affiliates is no longer the Company’s sub-advisor and (iv) such earlier date on which the commitment will terminate as provided in the letter agreements, for example, because of an event of default. The “Maturity Date” is one year from the date of the agreement, and the Maturity Date will be automatically extended every year for an additional year, unless (a) the lender delivers notice of termination 60 days prior to an anniversary of the letter agreements or (b) an Event of Default (defined below) has occurred and is continuing. Each revolving loan will bear interest at 6.00% per annum. Interest is payable in arrears when principal is paid or repaid and on the Termination Date. Each of the following constitutes an “Event of Default” under the letter agreements: (y) the Company fails to perform or observe any covenant or condition to be performed or observed under the letter agreement (including the obligation to repay a loan in full on the Termination Date) and such failure is not remedied within three business days of its receipt of notice thereof; or (z) the Company becomes insolvent or the subject of any bankruptcy proceeding.
