Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 5, 2024, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Invesco Commercial Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the authorization, designation and offering of shares of the Company’s Class D-1 common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class D-1 Shares”), to be sold pursuant to the Company’s ongoing continuous private offering (the “Private Offering”), pursuant to exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws. The preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions, qualifications, and terms and conditions of the Class D-1 Shares are substantially similar to the rights, preferences and terms of the Company’s other classes of common stock, including the same proportional rights to the Company’s assets. In connection with the designation of the Class D-1 Shares, the Company amended certain of its documents as described below.

Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement

On August 20, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “A&R Advisory Agreement”) by and among the Company, Invesco Commercial Real Estate Finance Investments, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), and Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser”) in order to make certain updates in connection with the designation of the Class D-1 Shares. Pursuant to the A&R Advisory Agreement, (i) the Company will pay the Adviser in connection with the Class D-1 Shares an amount equal to 1.0% per annum of the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Class D-1 Shares; and (ii) the Company will pay the Adviser in connection with the Class D-1 Shares an amount equal to 10% of the Performance Fee Income (as defined in the A&R Advisory Agreement) attributable to the Class D-1 Shares. Additionally, the Company will not indemnify the Adviser or its affiliates for any such liability, claim, damage or loss that is the direct result of gross negligence by the Adviser or its affiliates, including their respective officers, managers, directors, partners and employees acting in such capacity.

On August 20, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement (the “A&R DMA”) by and among the Company and Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”) in order to make certain updates in connection with the addition of the Class D-1 Shares to the Private Offering. Pursuant to the A&R DMA, the Dealer Manager, and participating distribution agents, will solicit purchasers of the Class D-1 Shares on a “best efforts” basis in the Private Offering. In exchange, the Company will pay the Dealer Manager (i) upfront selling commissions of up to 1.5% of the transaction price for the Class D-1 Shares (which the transaction price will generally be equal to the prior month’s NAV per Class D-1 Share); and (ii) stockholder servicing fees with respect to Class D-1 Shares equal to 0.25% per annum of the aggregate NAV of the outstanding Class D-1 Shares. It is expected that the Dealer Manager will reallow the upfront selling commissions and stockholder servicing fees to distribution agents participating in the Private Offering. Until such time as there are Class D-1 Shares are outstanding, the purchase price for the Class D-1 Shares will equal the transaction price for the Class D Shares, plus upfront selling commissions.

The summary of the A&R DMA set forth above does not purport to be a complete summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the A&R DMA, a copy of which is filed herewith and incorporated by reference herein.

Invesco Commercial Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Corporation”), hereby certifies to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland that: 
FIRST: Under a power contained in Section 5.1 of Article V of the Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the Corporation (as amended and supplemented, the “Charter”), the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”), by duly adopted resolutions, classified and designated five hundred million (500,000,000) authorized but unissued shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Corporation as shares of Class D-1 Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Corporation (the “Class D-1 Common Shares”) with the following preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption. Unless otherwise defined below, capitalized terms used below have the meanings given to them in the Charter. 
1.1Defined Terms.
1.1.1    “Class D-1 Conversion Rate” shall mean the fraction, the numerator of which is the Class D-1 NAV Per Share and the denominator of which is the Class I NAV Per Share.
1.1.2    “Class D-1 NAV Per Share” shall mean the Net Asset Value allocable to the Class D-1 Common Shares (including any reduction for Stockholder Servicing Fees as described in the Private Placement Memorandum), determined as described in the Private Placement Memorandum, divided by the number of outstanding Class D-1 Common Shares.

Exhibit 4.1
INVESCO COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. 
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN
EFFECTIVE AUGUST 20, 2024
This Second Amended and Restated Distribution Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) is adopted by Invesco Commercial Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to its Articles of Amendment and Restatement (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Charter”). The Plan supersedes and replaces the amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan previously adopted by the Company on December 4, 2023. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Charter.
1. Distribution Reinvestment. As agent for the stockholders (the “Stockholders”) of the Company who purchase Class S Common Stock, Class S-1 Common Stock, Class D Common Stock, Class D-1 Common Stock, Class I Common Stock, Class F Common Stock and Class E Common Stock (“Shares”), pursuant to (i) an offering of Shares (the “Offering”), or (ii) any future Offering of Shares (a “Future Offering”), and who do not opt out of participating in the Plan or who affirmatively elect to participate in the Plan, as applicable (as set forth in Section 3 below) (the “Participants”), the Company will apply all dividends and other distributions declared and paid in respect of the Shares held by each Participant and attributable to the class of Shares held by such Participant (the “Distributions”), including Distributions paid with respect to any full or fractional Shares acquired under the Plan, to the purchase of additional Shares of the same class for such Participant.
2. Effective Date. The effective date of the initial distribution reinvestment plan was March 23, 2023, and this Plan shall be effective on August 20, 2024. The Company may, in its discretion and in the event the Company lists the Shares on any exchange (pursuant to the Charter), cease to offer the Plan to Stockholders.
3. Procedure for Participation. Any Stockholder who has received a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum, with respect to the Offering or any Future Offering, as applicable, will automatically become a Participant unless they elect not to become a Participant by noting such election on their subscription agreement; provided, however, that any Stockholder which (a) resides in a state or other jurisdiction which requires affirmative enrollment in the Plan or (b) is a client of a participating broker-dealer that does not permit automatic enrollment in the Plan will only become a Participant if the Stockholder notes such an election on the Stockholder’s subscription agreement. If any Stockholder initially elects not to be a Participant, they may later become a Participant by subsequently completing and executing an enrollment form or any appropriate authorization form as may be available from the Company, the Company’s transfer agent, the dealer manager for the applicable Offering or any soliciting dealer participating in the distribution of Shares for the Offering. Participation in the Plan will begin with the next Distribution payable after acceptance of a Participant’s subscription, enrollment or authorization. Shares will be purchased under the Plan on the date that Distributions are paid by the Company.
4. Suitability. Each Participant is requested to promptly notify the Company in writing if the Participant experiences a material change in his or her financial condition, including the failure to meet the income, net worth, investment concentration, status as an “accredited investor” as defined by Regulation D of the Securities Act or other investment suitability standards imposed by the Company and set forth in the Private Placement Memorandum or the Company’s most recent Private Placement Memorandum. For the avoidance of doubt, this request in no way shifts to the Participant the responsibility of the Company’s sponsor, or any other person selling Shares on behalf of the Company to the Participant, to make every reasonable effort to determine that the purchase of Shares is a suitable and appropriate investment based on information provided by such Participant.
5. Purchase of Shares. 
1

LEGAL02/44513265v4


A.Participants will acquire Shares from the Company (including Shares purchased by the Company for the Plan in a secondary market (if available) or on a stock exchange (if listed)) under the Plan (the “Plan Shares”) at a price equal to the net asset value (“NAV”) per Share applicable to the class of Shares purchased by the Participant on the date that the Distribution is payable (calculated as of the most recent month end). No upfront selling commissions will be payable with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan, but such Shares may be subject to ongoing stockholder servicing fees. Participants in the Plan may purchase fractional Shares so that 100% of the Distributions will be used to acquire Shares. However, a Participant will not be able to acquire Plan Shares and such Participant’s participation in the Plan will be terminated to the extent that a reinvestment of such Participant’s Distributions in Shares would cause the percentage ownership or other limitations contained in the Charter to be violated.

B.Plan Shares to be distributed by the Company in connection with the Plan may (but are not required to) be supplied from Shares that will be issued by the Company in connection with the Offering, or a Future Offering.
6. Taxes. THE REINVESTMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS DOES NOT RELIEVE A PARTICIPANT OF ANY INCOME TAX LIABILITY THAT MAY BE PAYABLE IN RESPECT OF THE DISTRIBUTIONS. INFORMATION REGARDING POTENTIAL TAX INCOME LIABILITY OF PARTICIPANTS MAY BE FOUND IN THE PUBLIC FILINGS MADE BY THE COMPANY WITH THE SEC.
7. Share Certificates. The ownership of the Shares purchased through the Plan will be in book-entry form unless and until the Company issues certificates for its outstanding Shares.
8. Reports. On a quarterly basis, the Company shall provide each Participant a statement of account describing, as to such Participant: (i) the Distributions reinvested during the quarter; (ii) the number and class of Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan during the quarter; (iii) the per Share purchase price for such Shares; and (iv) the total number of Shares purchased on behalf of the Participant under the Plan. On an annual basis, tax information with respect to income earned on Shares under the Plan for the calendar year will be provided to each applicable participant.
9. Termination by Participant. A Participant may terminate participation in the Plan at any time, without penalty, by delivering 10 days’ prior written notice to the Company. This notice must be received by the Company prior to the last day of a quarter in order for a Participant’s termination to be effective for such quarter (i.e., a timely termination notice will be effective as of the last day of a quarter in which it is timely received and will not affect participation in the Plan for any prior quarter). Any transfer of Shares by a Participant to a non-Participant will terminate participation in the Plan with respect to the transferred Shares. If a Participant requests that the Company repurchase all or any portion of the Participant’s Shares, the Participant’s participation in the Plan with respect to the Participant’s Shares for which repurchase was requested but that were not repurchased will be terminated. If a Participant terminates Plan participation, the Company may, at its option, ensure that the terminating Participant’s account will reflect the whole number of Shares in such Participant’s account and provide a check for the cash value of any fractional share in such account. Upon termination of Plan participation for any reason, future Distributions will be distributed to the Stockholder in cash.
10. Amendment, Suspension or Termination by the Company. The Board of Directors may by majority vote amend any aspect of the Plan; provided, however, that the Plan cannot be amended to eliminate a Participant’s right to terminate participation in the Plan and that notice of any material amendment must be provided to Participants at least 10 days prior to the effective date of that amendment. The Board of Directors may by majority vote suspend or terminate the Plan for any reason upon 10 days’ written notice to the Participants.
11. Liability of the Company. The Company shall not be liable for any act done in good faith, or for any good faith omission to act, including, without limitation, any claims or liability (i) arising out of failure to terminate a Participant’s account upon such Participant’s death prior to timely receipt of notice in writing of such death or (ii) with respect to the time and the prices at which Shares are purchased or sold for a Participant’s account. To the extent that indemnification may apply to liabilities arising under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of a
2

LEGAL02/44513265v4


particular state, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC and certain state securities commissioners, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and, therefore, unenforceable.

LEGAL02/44513719v5


repurchase limits of the Company’s share repurchase plan, any lockup period applicable to the Adviser or any reduction or penalty for an early repurchase.

(e)The Company will pay the Adviser 50% of any commitment fee charged to borrowers in connection with the origination of each new loan (any such fee, a “Commitment Fee”) concurrently or promptly following receipt of such fees from the borrowers. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated as a percentage of the whole loan on a fully funded basis as determined by the Adviser at the time of the closing of the loan origination, and shall not exceed 0.50% of the whole loan on a fully funded basis.

(f)In the event this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal, the Adviser will be entitled to receive its prorated Management Fee and Performance Fee through the date of termination or expiration. Such pro ration shall take into account the number of days of any partial calendar month or calendar year for which this Agreement was in effect.

(g)In the event the Company or the Operating Partnership commences a liquidation of its Investments during any calendar year, the Company will pay the Adviser the Management Fee and Performance Fee from the proceeds of the liquidation.

(e)The Adviser may, at its option, elect not to seek reimbursement for certain expenses during a given period, which determination shall not be deemed to construe a waiver of reimbursement for similar expenses in future periods.
(f)Any reimbursement payments owed by the Company to the Adviser may be offset by the Adviser against amounts due to the Company from the Adviser. Cost and expense reimbursement to the Adviser shall be subject to adjustment at the end of each calendar year in connection with the annual audit of the Company.
(g)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Adviser shall request approval from the Board for the rates charged in any services that are contemplated in any action described in Section 11(b) above that are rendered by any Affiliate or Affiliates of the Adviser.

17
LEGAL02/44513719v5



13.REIMBURSEMENT TO THE ADVISER. Commencing with the first four full fiscal quarters following the Expense Commencement Date, the Company shall not reimburse the Adviser at the end of any fiscal quarter for Operating Expenses that in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of 2.0% of Average Invested Assets or 25.0% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such four fiscal quarters, unless the Independent Directors determine that such Excess Amount was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors that the Independent Directors deem sufficient. If the Independent Directors do not approve such Excess Amount as being so justified, the Adviser shall reimburse the Company the amount by which the Operating Expenses exceeded the 2%/25% Guidelines. If the Independent Directors determine such Excess Amount was justified, then, within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines, the Adviser, at the direction of the Independent Directors, shall cause such fact to be disclosed to the Stockholders in writing (or the Company shall disclose such fact to the Stockholders in the next quarterly report of the Company or, once the Company is registered with the SEC, by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC within 60 days of such quarter end), together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess were justified. The Company will ensure that such determination will be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board. All figures used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.

14.NO JOINT VENTURE. The Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand, and the Adviser on the other hand are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.
15.TERM OF AGREEMENT; TERMINATION. At any time during which the Company intends to qualify as a “venture capital operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(d), this Agreement may be terminated upon 30 days’ written notice without cause or penalty by a majority of the Board.
(a)At all other times, and until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, this Agreement shall be in effect until March 31, 2025 (the “Initial Term”) and shall be automatically renewed for a one-year term each anniversary date thereafter (a “Renewal Term”) unless at least two-thirds of the Independent Directors agree that (i) there has been unsatisfactory performance by the Adviser that is materially detrimental to the Company or the Operating Partnership or (ii) the compensation payable to the Adviser hereunder is unfair; provided that the Company and the Operating Partnership shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement under clause (ii) above if the Adviser agrees to continue to provide the services under this Agreement at a reduced fee that at least two-thirds of the Independent Directors determines to be fair pursuant to the procedure set forth below. The Company and the Operating Partnership may elect not to renew this agreement upon the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term and upon 180 days’ prior written notice to the Adviser (the “Termination Notice”). If the Company or the Operating Partnership issues the Termination Notice, the Company or the Operating Partnership shall be obligated to (i) specify the reason for nonrenewal in the Termination Notice and (ii) pay the Adviser the Termination Fee before or on the last day of the Initial Term or Renewal Term (the “Effective Termination Date”); provided, however, that in the event that such Termination Notice is given in connection with a determination that the compensation payable to the Adviser is unfair, the Adviser shall have the right to renegotiate such compensation by delivering to the Company and the Operating Partnership, no fewer than 60 days prior to the prospective Effective Termination Date, written notice (any such notice, a “Notice of Proposal to Negotiate”) of its intention to
18
LEGAL02/44513719v5


renegotiate its compensation under this Agreement. Thereupon, the Company and the Operating Partnership (represented by the Independent Directors) and the Adviser shall endeavor to negotiate in good faith the revised compensation payable to the Adviser under this Agreement, provided that the Adviser and at least two-thirds of the Independent Directors agree to the terms of the revised compensation to be payable to the Adviser within 60 days following the receipt of the Notice of Proposal to Negotiate, the Termination Notice shall be deemed of no force and effect and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect on the terms stated in this Agreement, except that the compensation payable to the Adviser hereunder shall be the revised compensation then agreed upon by the parties to this Agreement. The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Adviser agree to execute and deliver an amendment to this Agreement setting forth such revised compensation promptly upon reaching an agreement regarding the same. In the event that the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Adviser are unable to agree to the terms of the revised compensation to be payable to the Adviser during such 60-day period, this Agreement shall terminate, such termination to be effective on the date which is the later of (A) 10 days following the end of such 60-day period and (B) the Effective Termination Date originally set forth in the Termination Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Company terminates or ceases to be a party to this Agreement, the Agreement shall be null and void (other than Sections 18 through 22 hereof), including with respect to the Operating Partnership.
(b)In recognition of the level of the upfront effort required by the Adviser to originate the Investments of the Company and the Operating Partnership and the commitment of resources by the Adviser, in the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 15(a) of this Agreement, unless terminated for cause the Company or the Operating Partnership shall pay to the Adviser, on the date on which such termination is effective, a termination fee (the “Termination Fee”) equal to three times the sum of the average annual Management Fee earned by the Adviser during the 24-month period immediately preceding the date of such termination, calculated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the date of termination. The obligation of the Company and the Operating Partnership to pay the Termination Fee shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(c)No later than 180 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, the Adviser on the one hand or the Company and the Operating Partnership on the other hand may deliver written notice to the other side informing it of such party’s intention to decline to renew this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall not be renewed and extended and this Agreement shall terminate effective on the anniversary date of this Agreement next following the delivery of such notice. Neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership is required to pay to the Adviser the Termination Fee if the Adviser terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 15(c).
(d)If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 15, such termination shall be without any further liability or obligation of either party to the other, except as provided in Sections 18 through 22 of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.
16.TERMINATION BY THE PARTIES FOR CAUSE.
(a) The Company or the Operating Partnership may terminate this Agreement effective upon 30 days’ prior written notice of termination from the Company or the Operating Partnership to the Adviser, without payment of any Termination Fee, if (i) the Adviser, its agents or its assignees materially breaches any provision of this Agreement and such breach shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof specifying such breach and requesting that the same be remedied in such 30-day period (or 45 days after written notice of such breach if the Adviser takes steps to cure such breach within
19
LEGAL02/44513719v5


30 days of the written notice), (ii) the Adviser engages in any act of fraud, misappropriation of funds, or embezzlement against the Company or any subsidiary, (iii) there is an event of any gross negligence on the part of the Adviser in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, (iv) there is a commencement of any proceeding relating to the Adviser’s bankruptcy or insolvency, including an order for relief in an involuntary bankruptcy case or the Adviser authorizing or filing a voluntary bankruptcy petition, (v) there is a dissolution of the Adviser or (vi) the Adviser is convicted of (including a plea of nolo contendere) a felony. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Company terminates or ceases to be a party to this Agreement, the Agreement shall be null and void (other than Sections 18 through 22 hereof), including with respect to the Operating Partnership.
(b)The Adviser may terminate this Agreement effective upon 60 days’ prior written notice of termination to the Company and the Operating Partnership in the event that the Company or the Operating Partnership shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, condition or covenant contained in this Agreement and such default shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof specifying such default and requesting that the same be remedied in such 30-day period. The Company or the Operating Partnership is required to pay to the Adviser the Termination Fee if the termination of this Agreement is made pursuant to this Section 16(b).
(c)The Adviser may terminate this Agreement, without payment of any Termination Fee, in the event the Company becomes regulated as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, with such termination deemed to have occurred immediately prior to such event.
(d)The provisions of Sections 18 through 22 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
17.ASSIGNMENT TO AN AFFILIATE. This Agreement may be assigned by the Adviser to an Affiliate of the Adviser with the approval of a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors). The Adviser may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement to any Person without obtaining the consent of the Board. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company or the Operating Partnership without the approval of the Adviser, except in the case of an assignment by the Company or the Operating Partnership to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company or the Operating Partnership, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company and the Operating Partnership are bound by this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding on successors to the Company resulting from a Change of Control or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company or the Operating Partnership, and shall likewise be binding on any successor to the Adviser.
18.PAYMENTS TO AND DUTIES OF ADVISER UPON TERMINATION.
(a)After the Termination Date, the Adviser shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder except it shall be entitled to receive from the Company and the Operating Partnership within 30 days after the effective date of such termination all unpaid reimbursements of expenses and all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Adviser prior to termination of this Agreement.

(b)The Adviser shall promptly upon termination:

(i)pay over to the Company and the Operating Partnership all money collected and held for the account of the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement,
20
LEGAL02/44513719v5


after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;

(ii)deliver to the Board a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board;

(iii)deliver to the Board all assets, including all Investments, and documents of the Company and the Operating Partnership then in the custody of the Adviser; and

(iv)cooperate with, and take all reasonable actions requested by, the Company and Board in making an orderly transition of the advisory function.

19. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP. The Company and the Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Adviser and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, managers, directors, partners and employees, from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance, and to the fullest extent possible without such indemnification being inconsistent with the laws of the State of Maryland or the Charter, unless, notwithstanding the Charter, any such liability, claim, damage or loss is the direct result of gross negligence by the Adviser or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, managers, directors, partners and employees acting in such capacity.

20.INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISER. The Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company and the Operating Partnership from contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses including attorneys’ fees, to the extent that (i) such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and (ii) are incurred by reason of the Adviser’s bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Adviser shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Adviser.
21.NON-SOLICITATION. During the term of this Agreement and in the event of a termination without Cause of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 15(c) hereof, for two (2) years after the Termination Date, the Company shall not, without the consent of the Adviser, employ or otherwise retain any employee of the Adviser or any of its Affiliates or any person who has been employed by the Adviser or any of its Affiliates at any time within the two (2) year period immediately preceding the date on which such person commences employment with or is otherwise retained by the Company. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to any damages, the Adviser may be entitled to equitable relief for any violation of this Section 21 by the Company, including, without limitation, injunctive relief.

22.INITIAL INVESTMENT. 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, August 23, 2023 and August 16, 2024, such Affiliate of the Adviser has committed to invest an aggregate of $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
21
LEGAL02/44513719v5


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.

Appendix A

Performance Fee Calculations

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

With respect to each such class of Common Shares, the Performance Fee will be an amount equal to 10% of the Company’s “Performance Fee Income” for each calendar year allocable to such class of Common Shares, based on the calculation of each class’s relative percentage of aggregate NAV during the applicable period. No Performance Fee will be payable with respect to any class of Common Shares in any calendar year in which the Company posts a negative “Total Return Per Share” for such calendar year for such class of Common Shares.

For purposes of the foregoing, the following definitions shall apply:

Performance Fee Income” with respect to each class of Common Shares subject to a Performance Fee means the calculation of net income (determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”)) allocable to such class of Common Shares adjusted as follows:

(i)    prior to the Expense Commencement Date, (A) net income shall exclude Organization and Offering Expenses advanced by the Adviser during the relevant period and (B) net income shall exclude Operating Expenses (including Borrowing Costs) advanced by the Adviser during the relevant period.

(ii)    after the Expense Commencement Date, the calculation of net income shall include: (A) Organization and Offering Expenses previously advanced by the Adviser that were repaid by the Company during the calendar year period (or partial period); (B) Operating Expenses (including Borrowing Costs) previously advanced by the Adviser that were repaid by the Company during the calendar year period (or partial period); (C) Organization and Offering Expenses incurred on or after the Organization and Offering Expense Commencement Date, with the exception of upfront Selling Commissions, Dealer Manager Fees and Stockholder Servicing Fees incurred during the calendar year period (or partial period); and (D) Operating Expenses (including Borrowing Costs) incurred on or after the Expense Commencement Date during the calendar year period (or partial period).

Total Return Per Share” shall mean, with respect to any calendar year and with respect to any class of Common Shares, an amount equal to: (i) the cumulative distributions per Share accrued with respect to such class of Common Shares since the beginning of the calendar year plus (ii) the change in NAV per Share of such class of Common Shares since the beginning of the calendar year, prior to giving effect to (y) any accrual for Performance Fees with respect to such class of Common Shares or (z) any applicable Stockholder Servicing Fees.

Appendix B

Class F Performance Fee Calculations

The Class F Performance Fee payable by the Company to the Adviser with respect to the Company’s Class F Common Shares shall be calculated as follows:

The Class F Performance Fee payable with respect to each calendar year will be an amount per Class F Common Share equal to 10% of the amount (if any) by which the Performance Fee Income allocable to such Class F Common Share for such calendar year exceeds the Class F Hurdle Return for such Class F Common Share for such calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Class F Performance Fee will be payable with respect to any Class F Common Shares outstanding at the end of a calendar year (i) for any calendar year in which the Company’s aggregate Performance Fee Income with respect to all Class F Common Shares was less than the Class F Hurdle Return for such calendar year or (ii) for any calendar year in which the Company’s aggregate Performance Fee Income with respect to all Class F Common Shares for the rolling two-year period ending as of the last day of such calendar year was less than the Class F Hurdle Return for such rolling two-year period.

The Class F Performance Fee payable with respect to any Class F Common Share that is outstanding less than a full calendar year shall be calculated based on the Class F Performance Fee Income and Class F Hurdle Return for the period the Class F Common Share was outstanding.  For any Class F Common Share issued after the first day of the period, the Class F NAV Per Share of such Share shall be equal to the Transaction Price at which the Share was issued.  If Class F Common Shares are repurchased by the Company during a calendar period, the Class F Performance Fee shall be calculated with respect to such Shares as of the date of repurchase.

For purposes of the foregoing, the following definitions shall apply:

Class F Hurdle Return” means, with respect to any period and each Class F Common Share, the Performance Fee Income that results in a 6% annualized return on the Class F NAV Per Share of the Class F Common Shares as of the beginning of such period (or, for any Class F Common Share issued after the first day of such period, the Class F NAV Per Share as of the date on which the Share was issued).

Performance Fee Income” with respect to each Class F Common Share means the calculation of net income (determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP) allocable to such Class F Common adjusted as follows:

(i)    prior to the Expense Commencement Date, (A) net income shall exclude Organization and Offering Expenses advanced by the Adviser during the relevant period and (B) net income shall exclude Operating Expenses (including Borrowing Costs) advanced by the Adviser during the relevant period.

(ii)    after the Expense Commencement Date and the Operating Expense Commencement Date, as applicable, the calculation of net income shall include: (A) Organization and Offering Expenses previously advanced by the Adviser that were repaid by the Company during the calendar year period (or partial period); (B) Operating Expenses (including Borrowing Costs) previously advanced by the Adviser that were repaid by the Company during the calendar year period (or partial period); (C) Organization and Offering Expenses incurred on or after the Expense Commencement Date, with the exception of upfront

Selling Commissions, Dealer Manager Fees and Stockholder Servicing Fees incurred during the calendar year period (or partial period); and (D) Operating Expenses (including Borrowing Costs) incurred on or after the Expense Commencement Date during the calendar year period (or partial period).

Example Calculation:

The Offering is a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”). Each subscriber will be required to enter into a subscription agreement (as may be amended by the Company from time to time, the “Subscription Agreement”), and will, upon acceptance of the subscription by the Company, become a stockholder of the Company (individually a “Stockholder” and collectively the “Stockholders”).
Except as otherwise agreed by the Company and the Dealer Manager (as defined below), Shares sold through the Dealer Manager are to be sold through the Dealer Manager, as the dealer manager, and the Participating Distribution Agents (as defined below) with whom the Dealer Manager has entered into or will enter into Participating Distribution Agreements (as defined below). The Shares will be offered and sold as described under the caption “Subscriptions, Share Repurchase Program, Plan of Distribution and Valuation––Plan of Distribution” in the Memorandum. The purchase price per Share will vary and will generally equal the prior month’s net asset value (“NAV”) per Share applicable to the class of Shares being purchased, as determined monthly (in accordance with the NAV calculation procedures described in the Memorandum), or at a different offering price made available to investors in cases where the Company believes there has been a material change to the NAV per Share since the end of the prior month, which is referred to herein as the “transaction price,” plus in either case any applicable upfront selling commissions, subject in certain circumstances to reductions thereof as described in the Memorandum. For stockholders who participate in the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”), the cash distributions attributable to the class of Shares that each stockholder owns will be automatically invested in additional Shares of the same class. All Shares sold pursuant to the DRP are to be issued and sold to stockholders of the Company at a purchase price equal to the transaction price of the applicable class of Shares on the date that the distribution is payable.
The Shares will be offered and sold in the Offering until the earliest to occur of: (1) the date upon which any maximum offering amount of Shares, as set forth in the Memorandum, is sold; and (2) the date upon which the Company terminates the Offering (in each case, the “Termination Date”). It is understood that no sale of Shares will be effective unless and until accepted by the Company.
Upon the terms and conditions contained in this Dealer Manager Agreement (this “Agreement”), the Company hereby appoints Invesco Distributors, Inc., a Delaware corporation, to act as the exclusive dealer manager (the “Dealer Manager”) for the Offering to solicit, or cause to be solicited, purchasers of the Shares on a “best efforts” basis in the Offering upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Memorandum.

(b) Stockholder Servicing Fees. Subject to any special circumstances or limitations described in or otherwise provided in the “Subscriptions, Share Repurchase Program, Plan of Distribution and Valuation––Plan of Distribution” section of the Memorandum or this Section 4, the Company will pay to the Dealer Manager a stockholder servicing fee with respect to Class S Shares equal to 0.85% per annum of the aggregate NAV of outstanding Class S Shares, with respect to Class S-1 Shares equal to 0.85% per annum of the aggregate NAV of outstanding Class S-1 Shares, with respect to Class D Shares equal to 0.25% per annum of the aggregate NAV of the outstanding Class D Shares and with respect to Class D-1 Shares equal to 0.25% per annum of the aggregate NAV of the outstanding Class D-1 Shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the terms of the Memorandum, at such time as the Participating Distribution Agent who sold the Shares giving rise to a portion of the stockholder servicing fee is no longer the broker-dealer of record/custodian with respect to such Shares or no longer satisfies any or all of the conditions in the applicable Participating Distribution Agreement giving rise to a portion of the stockholder servicing fee, then such Participating Distribution Agent’s entitlement to the stockholder servicing fees related to such Shares shall cease and such Participating Distribution Agent shall not receive the stockholder servicing fee for any portion of the month in which such party is not eligible to receive the stockholder servicing fees on the last day of the month. Broker-dealer transfers will be made effective as of the start
6
LEGAL02/44544150v5


of the first business day of a month. Thereafter, such stockholder servicing fees may be reallowed to the then-current broker-dealer of record of the Shares, as applicable, if any such broker-dealer of record has been designated (the “Servicing Dealer”), to the extent such Servicing Dealer has entered into a Participating Distribution Agreement or similar agreement with the Dealer Manager (“Servicing Agreement”), such Servicing Agreement with the Servicing Dealer provides for such reallowance and the Servicing Dealer is in compliance with the terms of such agreement related to such reallowance. All determinations will be made by the Dealer Manager in good faith in its sole discretion. The Dealer Manager may also reallow some or all of the stockholder servicing fees to other broker-dealers who provide services with respect to the Shares giving rise to a portion of the stockholder servicing fee (who shall be considered additional Servicing Dealers) pursuant to a Servicing Agreement with the Dealer Manager to the extent such Servicing Agreement provides for such reallowance and such additional Servicing Dealer is in compliance with the terms of such agreement related to such reallowance, in accordance with the terms of such Servicing Agreement.
(c) Stockholder Servicing Fees Limitation. The Company will cease paying the stockholder servicing fees with respect to any Class D Share or Class S Share held in a stockholder’s account at the end of the month in which the Dealer Manager, in conjunction with the Company’s transfer agent, determines that total upfront selling commissions and stockholder servicing fees paid with respect to the Shares held by such stockholder within such account would exceed, in the aggregate, 8.75% of the gross proceeds from the sale of such Shares (including the gross proceeds of any Shares issued under the DRP upon the reinvestment of distributions paid with respect thereto or with respect to any Shares issued under the DRP directly or indirectly attributable to such Shares). At the end of such month, each such Class S Share or Class D Share will convert into a number of Class I Shares (including any fractional Shares), each with an equivalent aggregate NAV as such Share. In addition, the Company will cease paying the stockholder servicing fees on the Class D Shares, Class D-1 Shares, Class S Shares and Class S-1 Shares on the earlier to occur of the following: (i) a listing of a class of stock of the Company or (ii) the Company’s merger or consolidation with or into another entity, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, in each case in a transaction in which Stockholders receive cash or securities listed on a national securities exchange.
(d) Adviser Reimbursement. In addition to the other items of underwriting compensation set forth in this Section 4, the Company or Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Company’s adviser, shall reimburse the Dealer Manager for all items of underwriting compensation referenced in the Memorandum, to the extent the Memorandum indicates that they will be paid by the Company or the Adviser, as applicable, and to the extent permitted pursuant to prevailing rules and regulations of FINRA.
(e) Right to Reject Orders or Cancel Sales. All orders, whether initial or additional, are subject to acceptance by and shall only become effective upon confirmation by the Company, which reserves the right to reject any order for any or no reason. Orders not accompanied by a Subscription Agreement and the required payment for the Shares may be rejected. Issuance of the Shares will be made only after acceptance of the subscription from the Company and actual receipt by the Company of payment therefor. If any check is not paid upon presentment, or if the Company is not in actual receipt of clearinghouse funds or cash, certified or cashier’s check or the equivalent in payment for the Shares, the Company reserves the right to cancel the sale without notice.
(f) Commissions after the Rejection of a Subscriber. No upfront selling commissions shall be payable on any subscription rejected by the Company. The Company may reject a subscription for any reason or for no reason.
(g) Reallowance. The terms of any reallowance of selling commissions and stockholder servicing fees shall be set forth in the Participating Distribution Agreement, Servicing Agreement or similar agreement entered into with the Participating Distribution Agents or Servicing Dealers, as applicable. The Company will not be liable or responsible to any Participating Distribution Agent or Servicing Dealer for direct payment or reallowance of any selling commissions or stockholder servicing fees to such Participating Distribution Agent or Servicing Dealer, the payment or reallowance, as applicable, of any selling commissions or stockholder servicing fees to such Participating Distribution Agent or Servicing Dealer being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the discretion of the Company, the Company may act as agent of the
7
LEGAL02/44544150v5


Dealer Manager by making direct payment of selling commissions or stockholder servicing fees to Participating Distribution Agents or Servicing Dealers on behalf of the Dealer Manager without incurring any liability.

(a) If, at any time prior to the Termination Date, the Memorandum, as then amended or supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is otherwise necessary, in the Company’s reasonable discretion, at any time to amend or supplement the Memorandum, the Company promptly will notify the Dealer Manager (unless notice of the need to amend or supplement the Memorandum shall have been received from the Dealer Manager), and the Dealer Manager will notify all Participating Distribution Agents to suspend the offering and sale of the Shares hereof until such time as the Company, in its sole discretion (i) has prepared any required supplement or amendment to the Memorandum; and (ii) instructs the Dealer Manager to resume the offer and sale of the Shares.
(b) The Company will, at no expense to the Dealer Manager, furnish the Dealer Manager with copies of (i) the Memorandum and all amendments and supplements thereto, (ii) any supplemental sales literature or advertisement (including, without limitation, any “financial professional use only” material), regardless of how labeled or described, to use in addition to the Memorandum in connection with the Offering which previously has been, or hereafter is, approved for use and furnished by the Company (collectively, the “Authorized Sales Literature”), and (iii) any other information with respect to the Company as the Dealer Manager may from time to time reasonably request, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Dealer Manager may reasonably request.
(c) The Company will make any filings regarding the Offering that may be required by the SEC or any state securities administration, including without limitation preparing or causing to be prepared, executed and timely filed with the SEC a Notice on Form D relating to the Offering under Regulation D and with applicable state securities regulatory agencies. Subject to the Dealer Manager’s actions and the actions of others in connection with the Offering, the Company will comply with all requirements imposed upon it by Regulation D and other applicable securities laws, including applicable state “blue sky” registration exemptions.
(d) The Company shall advise the Dealer Manager of any request made by the SEC or any state securities administrator to amend or supplement the Memorandum or for additional information or of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or of any other order preventing or suspending the use of the Memorandum or the institution of any proceedings for that purpose. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the removal thereof as promptly as possible.

(a) With respect to the Dealer Manager’s participation and the participation by each Participating Distribution Agent in the offer and sale of Shares (including, without limitation any resales and transfers of Shares), the Dealer Manager will comply, and in its Participating Agreements will require each Participating Distribution Agent to comply, in all material respects with all applicable requirements of (i) the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the rules

(b) The Dealer Manager will, and will require that each Participating Distribution Agent, (i) conduct all offering and solicitation efforts in a transaction or series of transactions intended to be exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, as set forth in the Memorandum, and applicable state securities laws and regulations, (ii) not offer or sell Shares by any means otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement or the Memorandum, and (iii) not engage in any general advertising or general solicitation activities in connection with the Offering or any sale of Shares.

Unless otherwise specified by the Company in writing, no Shares shall be offered or sold for the account of the Company in any other states or jurisdictions.
(e) The Dealer Manager will, and will require that each Participating Distribution Agent, suspend or terminate the offer and sale of Shares in the Offering upon request of the Company at any time and to resume offering and sale of the Shares in the Offering upon subsequent request of the Company in its sole discretion.
(f) The Dealer Manager will, and will require each Participating Distribution Agent to, only offer Shares to persons it reasonably believes, on the basis of information obtained from the potential investor concerning the investor’s investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs, and any other information known by the Dealer Manager or an associated person:

(i)the person is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act and also meets the investor suitability standards as may be established by the Company and set forth in the Memorandum;
(ii)has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the offeree is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares; and
(iii)is a person for which an investment in the Shares are otherwise suitable; and
(iv)was not solicited through the use of general solicitation.
(g) During the course of the Offering, the Dealer Manager will comply, and shall direct each Participating Distribution Agent who enters into a Participating Distribution Agreement with the Dealer Manager to comply with the provisions of all applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors, including without limitation, Regulation Best Interest, the provisions of Regulation D and, if applicable, FINRA Rule 2111. The Dealer Manager shall direct each Participating Distribution Agent who enters into a Participating Distribution Agreement with the Dealer Manager to make, or cause to be made, inquiries as required by this Agreement, the Memorandum or applicable law of all prospective investors to ascertain whether a purchase of an investment in the Shares is suitable for the prospective investor.

LEGAL02/44544150v5


(h) The Dealer Manager shall require Participating Distribution Agents to represent in its Participating Distribution Agreements that they will maintain, for at least six (6) years, or for the period of time required to comply with all applicable federal, state or other regulatory requirements, whichever is later, records of the information obtained from each investor and used to determine each investor met the suitability standards imposed on the offer and sale of the Shares in the Offering (both at the time of the initial subscription and at the time of any additional subscriptions).

Further, the Company and the Dealer Manager shall provide the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network with information regarding: (a) the identity of a specified individual or organization; (b) an account number; (c) all identifying information provided by the account holder; and (d) the date and type of transaction, upon request. All parties will manually monitor account activity to identify patterns of unusual size or volume, geographic factors and any other “red flags” described in the Patriot Act as potential signals of money laundering or terrorist financing, and disclose such activity to applicable federal and state law enforcement when required by law. The Company and the Dealer Manager reserve the right to reject account applications from new customers who fail to provide necessary account information or who intentionally provide misleading information.
8. Indemnification.
(a) To the extent permitted by the Company’s articles of amendment and restatement (as amended or restated from time to time, the “Charter”) and subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Dealer Manager, each Participating Distribution Agent, their respective officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Dealer Manager or any Participating Distribution Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (individually, an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all loss, liability, action, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (“Losses”), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Parties may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in (a) the Memorandum or (b) any Authorized Sales Literature, or (ii) the omission to state in the Memorandum or Authorized Sales Literature a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not apply to any such Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party specifically for inclusion in the Memorandum or any Authorized Sales Literature, and provided, further, that the Company will not be liable for the portion of any Losses suffered by any Indemnified Party in any such case if it is determined that such Indemnified Party was at fault in connection with such portion of the Losses, and provided, further, that, notwithstanding the Charter, the Company will not be liable for any Losses suffered by the Dealer Manager, any of its officers or directors or any person who controls the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, as a direct result of such person’s gross negligence. The Company will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending such Losses.
The foregoing indemnity agreement of this Section 8(a) is subject to the further condition that, insofar as it relates to any untrue statement or omission made in the Memorandum that was eliminated or remedied in any subsequent amendment or supplement thereto, such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of an Indemnified Party from whom the person asserting any Losses purchased the Shares that are the subject thereof, if a copy of the Memorandum as so amended or supplemented was not sent or given to such person at or prior to the time the subscription of such person was accepted by the Company, but only if a copy of the Memorandum as so
10
LEGAL02/44544150v5


amended or supplemented had been supplied to the Dealer Manager or Participating Distribution Agent prior to such acceptance.
(b) The Dealer Manager shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (the “Company Indemnified Parties”), from and against any Losses to which any of the Company Indemnified Parties may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in (1) the Memorandum or (2) any Authorized Sales Literature; or (ii) the omission to state in the Memorandum or Authorized Sales Literature a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that clauses (i) and (ii) apply, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager specifically for inclusion in the Memorandum or Authorized Sales Literature; (iii) any use by the Dealer Manager or its representatives or agents in the offer and sale of the Shares of (1) sales literature that is not Authorized Sales Literature, (2) “financial professional use only” materials with investors, or (3) Authorized Sales Literature in a particular jurisdiction if such Authorized Sales Literature bears a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Shares in such jurisdiction; (iv) any untrue statement made by the Dealer Manager or its representatives or agents or omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares; (v) any material violation of this Agreement; (vi) any failure to comply with applicable laws governing privacy issues, money laundering abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts, including applicable rules of the SEC, FINRA and the Patriot Act; or (vii) any other failure to comply with applicable rules of FINRA or federal or state securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Dealer Manager will reimburse the Company Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending such Losses. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Dealer Manager may otherwise have.
(c) By virtue of entering into a Participating Agreement, each Participating Distribution Agent will severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager and each of their respective officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Dealer Manager within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any Losses to which any such person may become subject, as more fully described in each Participating Agreement.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The failure of an indemnified party to so notify the indemnifying party will relieve the indemnifying party from any liability under this Section 8 as to the particular item for which indemnification is then being sought, but not from any other liability that it may have to any indemnified party. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section 8(e)) incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party. Any indemnified party shall not be bound to perform or refrain from performing any act pursuant to the terms of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnified party.
(e) The indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by
11
LEGAL02/44544150v5


one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obligated to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been selected by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.
(f) The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 8 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Participating Distribution Agent, or any person controlling any Participating Distribution Agent or by or on behalf of the Company, the Dealer Manager or any officer or director thereof, or by or on behalf of any person controlling the Company or the Dealer Manager, (ii) delivery of any Shares and payment therefor, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor of any Participating Distribution Agent or of any of the parties to this Agreement, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity agreements contained in this Section 8.
9. Termination of this Agreement.
(a) This Agreement may be terminated by any party hereto upon 60 days’ written notice to the other parties or immediately upon notice to the other parties in the event that such other party shall have failed to comply with any material provision hereof.
(b) Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Dealer Manager shall:

(i)promptly deliver to the Company all records and documents in its possession that relate to the Offering other than as required by law to be retained by the Dealer Manager;
(ii)use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to accomplish an orderly transfer of management of the Offering to a party designated by the Company; and
(iii)notify all Participating Distribution Agents of the termination.

(c) Upon termination of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Dealer Manager all earned but unpaid compensation and reimbursement for all incurred, accountable compensation to which the Dealer Manager is or becomes entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement at such times as such amounts become payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
10. Survival. The following provisions of the Agreement shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement: Section 4 and Sections 7 through Section 15. Notwithstanding anything else that may be to the contrary herein, the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement shall not relieve a party for liability for any breach occurring prior to such expiration or earlier termination. In no event shall the Dealer Manager be entitled to payment of any compensation in connection with the Offering that is not completed according to this Agreement; provided, however, that the reimbursement of out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually incurred by the Dealer Manager or person associated with the Dealer Manager shall not be presumed to be unfair or unreasonable and shall be payable under normal circumstances.
11. Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or delivered (i) when delivered personally or by commercial messenger, (ii) on the business day of transmission if sent by email to the email address given below, with written confirmation of receipt, and (iii) one (1) business day following deposit with a recognized overnight courier service, provided such deposit occurs prior to the deadline imposed by such service for overnight delivery, in each case above provided such communication is addressed to the intended recipient thereof as set forth below:

The Company is currently offering the Shares (the “Offering”) in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s Private Placement Memorandum, dated [ ], 2024 (as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, including all appendixes and exhibits thereto, the “Memorandum”). Each subscriber will be required to enter into a subscription agreement (as may be amended by the Company from time to time, the “Subscription Agreement”), and will, upon acceptance of the subscription by the Company, become a stockholder of the Company (individually a “Stockholder” and collectively the “Stockholders”).
The Shares will be offered and sold in the Offering until the earliest to occur of: (1) the date upon which any maximum offering amount of Shares, as set forth in the Memorandum, is sold; and (2) the date upon which the Company terminates the Offering. It is understood that no sale of Shares will be effective unless and until accepted by the Company.
I. Dealer Manager Agreement.
The Dealer Manager has entered into that certain Dealer Manager Agreement with the Company and Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Company’s external adviser (the “Adviser”), dated [ ], 2024 (as amended, the “Dealer Manager Agreement”). In connection with performing the Dealer Manager’s obligations under the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Dealer Manager is authorized to enter into (A) participating dealer agreements materially in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Dealer Manager Agreement or in such other form as shall be pre-approved in writing by the Company with other broker-dealers who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

LEGAL02/44544150v5


II. Sale of Shares.
Participating Dealer hereby agrees to use its best efforts to sell the Shares for cash on the terms and conditions set forth in the Memorandum. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to make Participating Dealer an employee, agent, representative or partner of the Dealer Manager or the Company, and Participating Dealer is not authorized to act for the Dealer Manager or the Company or to make any representations on their behalf except as set forth in the Memorandum or as otherwise specifically authorized by the Company or Dealer Manager, as applicable. Participating Dealer acknowledges and agrees that the Company and the Dealer Manager may engage broker-dealers who are registered under the Exchange Act and members of FINRA or other investment advisers registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or comparable state securities laws, to offer and sell the Shares, as applicable.
III. Submission of Orders.
Each person desiring to purchase Shares in the Offering will be required to complete and execute a Subscription Agreement and to deliver to Participating Dealer such completed and executed Subscription Agreement together with a check or wire transfer (hereinafter referred to as an “instrument of payment”) in the amount of such person’s purchase, which must be at least the minimum purchase amount for the class of Shares being purchased as set forth in the Memorandum. Persons who purchase Shares will be instructed by Participating Dealer to make their instruments of payment payable to or for the benefit of “Invesco Commercial Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc.”
If Participating Dealer receives a Subscription Agreement or instrument of payment not conforming to the foregoing instructions and any instructions set forth in the Memorandum, Participating Dealer shall return such Subscription Agreement and instrument of payment directly to such purchaser not later than the end of the first business day following receipt by Participating Dealer. Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment received by Participating Dealer which conform to the foregoing instructions shall be transmitted for deposit pursuant to one of the methods described in this Section III. Transmittal of received investor funds will be made in accordance with the following procedures, as applicable:
(a) where, pursuant to Participating Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, internal supervisory review is conducted at the same location at which Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment are received from purchasers, then Participating Dealer will transmit the Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment to the Company or to such other account or agent as set forth in the Subscription Agreement or as otherwise directed by the Company by the end of the next business day following receipt thereof by Participating Dealer; and
(b) where, pursuant to Participating Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, final internal supervisory review is conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), then Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment will be transmitted by Participating Dealer to the Final Review Office by the end of the next business day following receipt by Participating Dealer.

Participating Dealer acknowledges and agrees that the Company reserves the unconditional right to reject any subscription for any or no reason.
IV. Pricing.
The purchase price per Share will vary and will generally equal the prior month’s net asset value (“NAV”) per Share applicable to the class of Shares being purchased, as determined monthly (in accordance with the NAV calculation procedures described in the Memorandum), or at a different price in cases where the Company believes there has been a material change to the NAV per Share since the end of the prior month, which is referred to herein as the “transaction price,” plus in either case any applicable upfront selling commissions, subject in certain circumstances to reductions thereof as described in the Memorandum.

LEGAL02/44544150v5


For stockholders who participate in the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”), the cash distributions attributable to the class of Shares that each stockholder owns will be automatically invested in additional Shares of the same class. All Shares sold pursuant to the DRP are to be issued and sold to stockholders of the Company at a purchase price equal to the transaction price of the applicable class of Shares on the date that the distribution is payable.

(c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; the incurrence of the obligations set forth herein; and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, including the issuance and sale of the Shares, will not constitute a breach of, or default under, any agreement or instrument by which Participating Dealer is bound, or to which any of its assets are subject, or any rule, regulation or order of any court or other governmental agency or body with jurisdiction over it.
(d) All requisite actions have been taken to authorize Participating Dealer to enter into and perform this Agreement.
(e) It shall notify the Dealer Manager, promptly in writing, of any written claim or complaint or any enforcement action or other proceeding with respect to Shares offered hereunder against Participating Dealer or its principals, affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents, or any person who controls Participating Dealer, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act.
(f) Participating Dealer will not offer, sell or distribute Shares, or otherwise make any such Shares available, in any jurisdiction outside of the United States or U.S. territories unless Participating Dealer receives prior written consent from the Dealer Manager.

LEGAL02/44544150v5


VII. Right to Reject Orders or Cancel Sales.
The Company reserves the right to reject any order for any or no reason. Orders not accompanied by an executed Subscription Agreement in good order or the required instrument of payment for the Shares may be rejected. Issuance and delivery of the Shares will be made only after actual receipt of payment therefor.
In the event that the Dealer Manager has reallowed any selling commission to Participating Dealer for the sale of one or more Shares and the subscription is rejected, canceled or rescinded for any reason as to one or more of the Shares covered by such subscription, Participating Dealer shall pay the amount specified to the Dealer Manager within ten (10) days following mailing of notice to Participating Dealer by the Dealer Manager stating the amount owed as a result of rescinded or rejected subscriptions. Further, if Participating Dealer has retained selling commissions in connection with an order that is subsequently rejected, canceled or rescinded for any reason, Participating Dealer agrees to return to the subscriber any selling commission theretofore retained by Participating Dealer with respect to such order within three (3) days following mailing of notice to Participating Dealer by the Dealer Manager stating the amount owed as a result of rescinded or rejected subscriptions. If Participating Dealer fails to pay any such amounts, the Dealer Manager shall have the right to offset such amounts owed against future compensation due and otherwise payable to Participating Dealer (it being understood and agreed that such right to offset shall not be in limitation of any other rights or remedies that the Dealer Manager may have in connection with such failure).
VIII. Memorandum and Authorized Sales Literature.
Participating Dealer is not authorized or permitted to give, and will not give, any information or make any representation (written or oral) concerning the Shares except as set forth in the Memorandum or as otherwise specifically authorized by the Company. The Dealer Manager will supply Participating Dealer with reasonable quantities of the Memorandum, as provided by the Company, as well as any advertising and supplemental sales literature approved by the Company and to be used or delivered by the Dealer Manager or Participating Dealer in connection with the Offering (“Authorized Sales Literature”), as provided by the Company, for delivery to investors, and Participating Dealer will deliver a copy of the Memorandum to each investor to whom an offer is made. Participating Dealer agrees that it will not show or give to any investor or reproduce any material or writing that is supplied to it by the Dealer Manager unless it is designated, marked or otherwise authorized for use with potential investors. For the avoidance of doubt, Participating Dealer will not show or provide to any investor any material that is supplied to it by Dealer Manager and marked “financial professional use only” or otherwise bearing a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the offer or sale of Shares to potential investors. Participating Dealer agrees that it will not use in connection with the offer or sale of Shares any materials or writings which have not been previously approved by the Company in writing. Participating Dealer agrees that prior to the time that a person to whom it has furnished a copy of the Memorandum becomes a Stockholder, Participating Dealer will ensure that such person has received a copy of any revised, updated or supplemented Memorandum.
Participating Dealer shall (i) conduct all offering and solicitation efforts in a transaction or series of transactions intended to be exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and applicable state securities laws and regulations, as set forth in the Memorandum, (ii) not offer or sell Shares by any means otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement or the Memorandum, and (iii) not engage in any general advertising or general solicitation activities in connection with the Offering or any sale of the Shares.
Participating Dealer agrees that it shall have delivered (a) to each investor to whom an offer to sell the Shares is made, as of the time of such offer, a copy of the Memorandum and all supplements, amendments and exhibits thereto that have then been made available to Participating Dealer by the Dealer Manager and (b) to each investor that subscribes for Shares, as of the time the Company accepts such investor’s order to purchase the Shares within the timeframes described in the Memorandum, a copy of the Memorandum and all supplements, amendments and exhibits thereto that have then been made available to Participating Dealer by the Dealer Manager. Participating Dealer agrees that it will not send or give any supplement to the Memorandum to an investor unless it has previously sent or given a Memorandum and all supplements, amendments and exhibits thereto.

This Agreement shall automatically terminate with no further action by any party hereto if Participating Dealer ceases to be a member in good standing of FINRA or with the securities commission of the state in which Participating Dealer’s principal office is located. Participating Dealer agrees to notify the Dealer Manager immediately if Participating Dealer ceases to be a member in good standing of FINRA or with the securities commission of any state in which Participating Dealer is currently registered or licensed.
Participating Dealer’s acceptance of this Agreement constitutes a representation and warranty to the Company and the Dealer Manager that Participating Dealer’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement shall comply in all material respects with all applicable terms and requirements of (i) the Dealer Manager Agreement, which such terms are incorporated herein by reference, (ii) this Agreement and the Memorandum, (iii) the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act, including without limitation Regulation D and Rule 506(b) thereunder, (iv) the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Exchange Act, (v) applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, and (vi) all rules promulgated by FINRA, and (vii) all other federal laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Offering and the offer and sale of the Shares, or the activities of Participating Dealer pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation the privacy standards and requirements of state and federal laws, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (“GLBA”), and the laws governing money laundering abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts, including the applicable rules of the SEC and FINRA, the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “Patriot Act”), and regulations administered by the Office of Foreign Asset Control at the Department of the Treasury. Participating Dealer agrees to comply and shall comply with any applicable requirements with respect to its participation in any resales or transfers of the Shares.
None of (i) Participating Dealer, (ii) any of Participating Dealer’s directors, executive officers, other officers participating in the Offering, general partners or managing members, (iii) any of the directors, executive officers or other officers participating in the Offering of any such general partner or managing member of Participating Dealer, or (iv) any other officers or employees of Participating Dealer or any such general partner or managing member of Participating Dealer that have been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the Offering (each, a “Participating Dealer Covered Person” and, collectively, the “Participating Dealer Covered Persons”), is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to 506(d)(1)(viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualifying Event”), except for a Disqualifying Event (a) contemplated by Rule 506(d)(2) of the Securities Act and (b) a description of which has been furnished in writing to the Company and the Dealer Manager prior to the date hereof or, in the case of a Disqualifying Event occurring after the date hereof, prior to the date of any further offering of Shares.
With respect to each Participating Dealer Covered Person, Participating Dealer has established procedures reasonably designed to ensure that Participating Dealer receives notice from each such Participating Dealer Covered Person of: (i) any Disqualifying Event relating to that Participating Dealer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualifying Event relating to that Participating Dealer Covered Person, in each case, occurring up to and including the last date on which Shares are offered in the Offering.
Participating Dealer currently has in place and effect, and shall maintain in place and full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, insurance coverage in amounts and upon terms as are customary and appropriate for a party engaged in Participating Dealer’s business and performing its obligations under this Agreement, including any and all minimum or mandated insurance coverage required by applicable law.

X. Limitation of Offer; Suitability.
Participating Dealer will: (a) conduct all offering and solicitation efforts in a transaction or series of transactions intended to be exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and applicable state securities laws and regulations; (b) not offer or sell Shares by any means otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement or the Memorandum; (c) offer Shares only to persons who meet the suitability standards set forth in the Memorandum; (d) make offers only to persons in the jurisdictions in which the Dealer Manager is advised in writing by the Company that the Shares are qualified for sale or that such qualification is not required; (e) only offer Shares in a jurisdiction if both such Participating Dealer and its registered representative making the offer are duly licensed to transact securities business in such jurisdiction; and (f) comply with the provisions of the FINRA Rules, as well as all other applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors including Rule 15l-1 under the Exchange Act (Regulation Best Interest).
Participating Dealer agrees to ensure that, in recommending the purchase, sale or exchange of Shares to a potential investor, Participating Dealer shall have reasonable grounds to believe, on the basis of information obtained from the investor concerning the investor’s investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs, and any other information known by Participating Dealer or an associated person, that each purchaser of Shares: (A) is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act (“Accredited Investor”) and meets the other investor suitability requirements as may be established by the Company and set forth in the Memorandum; (B) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the offeree is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares; (C) is a person for which an investment in the Shares are otherwise suitable; and (D) was not solicited through the use of general solicitation. Participating Dealer further represents, warrants and covenants that Participating Dealer will, in offering Shares, comply with the provisions of all applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors and will make every reasonable effort to determine the suitability and appropriateness of an investment in Shares of each proposed investor solicited by a person associated with Participating Dealer by reviewing documents and records disclosing the basis upon which the determination as to suitability was reached as to each such proposed investor, whether such documents and records relate to accounts which have been closed, accounts which are currently maintained, or accounts hereafter established. Participating Dealer agrees to retain such documents and records in Participating Dealer’s records for a period of six years from the date of the applicable sale of Shares, to otherwise comply with all applicable record keeping requirements and to make such documents and records available to (i) the Dealer Manager and the Company upon request and (ii) representatives of the SEC, FINRA and applicable state securities administrators upon Participating Dealer’s receipt of an appropriate document, subpoena or other appropriate request for documents from any such agency. Participating Dealer shall not purchase any Shares for a discretionary account without obtaining the prior written approval of Participating Dealer’s customer and such customer’s completed and executed Subscription Agreement.
Participating Dealer further represents that it understands that the Shares have not been registered and are not expected to be registered under the laws of any country or jurisdiction outside of the United States except as otherwise described in the Memorandum.
XI. Disclosure Review; Confidentiality of Information.
Participating Dealer agrees that it shall have reasonable grounds to believe based on the information made available to it through the Memorandum or other materials that all material facts are adequately and accurately disclosed in the Memorandum and provide a basis for evaluating the Shares. In making this determination, Participating Dealer shall evaluate, at a minimum, items of compensation, physical properties, tax aspects, financial stability and experience of the sponsor, conflicts of interest and risk factors, and appraisals and other pertinent reports. If Participating Dealer relies upon the results of any inquiry conducted by another member or members of FINRA, Participating Dealer shall have reasonable grounds to believe that such inquiry was conducted with due care, that the member or members conducting or directing the inquiry consented to the disclosure of the results of the inquiry and that the person who participated in or conducted the inquiry is not the Dealer Manager or a sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor of the Company.
6
LEGAL02/44544150v5


It is anticipated that (i) Participating Dealer and Participating Dealer’s officers, directors, managers, employees, owners, members, partners, home office diligence personnel or other agents of Participating Dealer that are conducting a due diligence inquiry on behalf of Participating Dealer and (ii) persons or committees, as the case may be, responsible for determining whether Participating Dealer will participate in the Offering ((i) and (ii) are collectively, the “Diligence Representatives”) either have previously or will in the future have access to certain Confidential Information (defined below) pertaining to the Company, the Dealer Manager, the Adviser or their respective affiliates. For purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” shall mean and include: (i) trade secrets concerning the business and affairs of the Company, the Dealer Manager, the Adviser, or their respective affiliates; (ii) confidential data, know-how, current and planned research and development, current and planned methods and processes, marketing lists or strategies, slide presentations, business plans, however documented, belonging to the Company, the Dealer Manager, the Adviser, or their respective affiliates; (iii) information concerning the business and affairs of the Company, the Dealer Manager, the Adviser, or their respective affiliates (including, without limitation, historical financial statements, financial projections and budgets, investment-related information, models, budgets, plans, and market studies, however documented); (iv) any information marked or designated “Confidential—For Due Diligence Purposes Only”; and (v) any notes, analysis, compilations, studies, summaries and other material containing or based, in whole or in part, on any information included in the foregoing. Participating Dealer agrees to keep, and to cause its Diligence Representatives to keep, all such Confidential Information strictly confidential and to not use, distribute or copy the same except in connection with Participating Dealer’s due diligence inquiry. Participating Dealer agrees to not disclose, and to cause its Diligence Representatives not to disclose, such Confidential Information to the public, or to Participating Dealer’s sales staff, financial advisors, or any person involved in selling efforts related to the Offering or to any other third party and agrees not to use the Confidential Information in any manner in the offer and sale of the Shares. Participating Dealer further agrees to use all reasonable precautions necessary to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information, including, but not limited to (a) limiting access to such information to persons who have a need to know such information only for the purpose of Participating Dealer’s due diligence inquiry and (b) informing each recipient of such Confidential Information of Participating Dealer’s confidentiality obligation. Participating Dealer acknowledges that Participating Dealer or its Diligence Representatives may previously have received Confidential Information in connection with preliminary due diligence on the Company, and agrees that the foregoing restrictions shall apply to any such previously received Confidential Information. Participating Dealer acknowledges that Participating Dealer or its Diligence Representatives may in the future receive Confidential Information either in individual or collective meetings or telephone calls with the Company, and agrees that the foregoing restrictions shall apply to any Confidential Information received in the future through any source or medium. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) if approved in writing for disclosure by the Company or the Dealer Manager, (b) pursuant to a subpoena or as required by law, or (c) as required by regulation, rule, order or request of any governing or self-regulatory organization (including without limitation the SEC or FINRA), provided that Participating Dealer shall notify the Dealer Manager in advance if practicable under the circumstances of any attempt to obtain Confidential Information pursuant to provisions (b) and (c).
XII. Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Programs.
Participating Dealer hereby represents that it has complied and will comply with Section 326 of the Patriot Act and the implementing rules and regulations promulgated thereunder in connection with broker/dealers’ anti-money laundering obligations. Participating Dealer hereby represents that it has adopted and implemented, and will maintain a written anti-money laundering compliance program (“AML Program”) including, without limitation, anti-money laundering policies and procedures relating to customer identification in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including federal and state securities laws, the Patriot Act, Executive Order 13224 – Executive Order on Terrorist Financing Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism, and applicable rules of FINRA. In accordance with these applicable laws and regulations and its AML Program, Participating Dealer agrees to verify the identity of its new customers; to maintain customer records; and to check the names of new customers against government watch lists, including the Office of Foreign Asset Control’s list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons. Additionally, Participating Dealer will monitor account activity to identify patterns of unusual size or volume, geographic factors and any other “red flags” described in the Patriot Act as potential signals of money laundering or terrorist financing. Participating Dealer will submit to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network any required suspicious activity reports about such
7
LEGAL02/44544150v5


activity and further will disclose such activity to applicable federal and state law enforcement when required by law. Upon request by the Dealer Manager at any time, Participating Dealer hereby agrees to furnish (a) a copy of its AML Program to the Dealer Manager for review, and (b) a copy of the findings and any remedial actions taken in connection with Participating Dealer’s most recent independent testing of its AML Program. Participating Dealer agrees to notify the Dealer Manager immediately if Participating Dealer is subject to a FINRA disclosure event or fine from FINRA related to its AML Program.
XIII. Privacy.
Participating Dealer agrees as follows:
Participating Dealer agrees to abide by and comply in all respects with (a) the privacy standards and requirements of the GLBA and applicable regulations promulgated thereunder, (b) the privacy standards and requirements of any other applicable federal or state law, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), and (c) its own internal privacy policies and procedures, each as may be amended from time to time.
The parties hereto acknowledge that from time to time, Participating Dealer may share with the Company and the Company may share with Participating Dealer nonpublic personal information (as defined under the GLBA) of customers of Participating Dealer. This nonpublic personal information may include, but is not limited to a customer’s name, address, telephone number, social security number, account information and personal financial information. Participating Dealer shall only be granted access to such nonpublic personal information of each of its customers that pertains to the period or periods during which Participating Dealer served as the broker-dealer of record for such customer’s account. Participating Dealer, the Dealer Manager and the Company shall not disclose nonpublic personal information of any customers who have opted out of such disclosures, except (a) to service providers (when necessary and as permitted under the GLBA), (b) to carry out the purposes for which one party discloses such nonpublic personal information to another party under this Agreement (when necessary and as permitted under the GLBA) or (c) as otherwise required by applicable law. Any nonpublic personal information that one party receives from another party shall be subject to the limitations on usage described in this Section XIII. Except as expressly permitted under the FCRA, Participating Dealer agrees that it shall not disclose any information that would be considered a “consumer report” under the FCRA.
Participating Dealer shall be responsible for determining which customers have opted out of the disclosure of nonpublic personal information by periodically reviewing and, if necessary, retrieving a list of such customers (the “List”) to identify customers that have exercised their opt-out rights. In the event Participating Dealer, the Dealer Manager or the Company expects to use or disclose nonpublic personal information of any customer for purposes other than as set forth in this Section XIII, it must first consult the List to determine whether the affected customer has exercised his or her opt-out rights. The use or disclosure of any nonpublic personal information of any customer that is identified on the List as having opted out of such disclosures, except as set forth in this Section XIII, shall be prohibited.
Participating Dealer shall implement commercially reasonable measures in compliance with industry best practices designed (a) to assure the security and confidentiality of nonpublic personal information of all customers; (b) to protect such information against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information; (c) to protect against unauthorized access to, or use of, such information that could result in material harm to any customer; (d) to protect against unauthorized disclosure of such information to unaffiliated third parties; and (e) to otherwise ensure its compliance with all applicable privacy standards and requirements of federal or state law (including, but not limited to, the GLBA), and any other applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Participating Dealer further agrees to cause all its agents, representatives, affiliates, subcontractors, or any other party to whom Participating Dealer provides access to or discloses nonpublic personal information of customers to implement appropriate measures designed to meet the objectives set forth in this Section XIII.
XIV. Indemnification.
8
LEGAL02/44544150v5


For the purposes of this Section XIV, an entity’s “Indemnified Parties” (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall include the entity itself and such entity’s officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls such entity within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act.
(a) Participating Dealer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager and each of their respective Indemnified Parties, from and against any and all loss, liability, action, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (“Losses”) to which any of the Indemnified Parties may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in (a) the Memorandum or (b) any Authorized Sales Literature; or (ii) the omission to state in the Memorandum or Authorized Sales Literature a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that clauses (i) and (ii) apply, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Dealer Manager by or on behalf of Participating Dealer specifically for inclusion in the Memorandum or Authorized Sales Literature; (iii) any use by Participating Dealer or its representatives or agents in the offer and sale of the Shares of (a) sales literature that is not Authorized Sales Literature, (b) use of Authorized Sales Literature with potential investors who are not Accredited Investors, (c) use with investors of materials that are not designated or otherwise approved for use with end investors, (d) “financial professional use only” materials with investors, or (e) Authorized Sales Literature in a particular jurisdiction if such Authorized Sales Literature bears a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Shares in such jurisdiction; (iv) any untrue statement made by Participating Dealer or its representatives or agents or omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares; (v) any material violation of this Agreement; (vi) any failure to comply with applicable laws governing privacy issues, money laundering abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts, including applicable rules of the SEC, FINRA and the Patriot Act; or (vii) any other failure to comply with applicable rules of FINRA or federal or state securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Participating Dealer will reimburse the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending such Losses. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that Participating Dealer may otherwise have.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section XIV of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section XIV, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the indemnifying party will relieve the indemnifying party from any liability under this Section XIV as to the particular item for which indemnification is then being sought, but not from any other liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the Indemnified Party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section XIV(c) below) incurred by such Indemnified Party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party. Any Indemnified Party shall not be bound to perform or refrain from performing any act pursuant to the terms of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such Indemnified Party.
(c) The indemnifying party under this Section XIV of this Agreement shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one Indemnified Party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one Indemnified Party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obligated to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been selected by a majority of the
9
LEGAL02/44544150v5


Indemnified Parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such Indemnified Parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an Indemnified Party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.
(d) The indemnity agreement contained in this Section XIV shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of Participating Dealer, or any person controlling Participating Dealer or by or on behalf of the Company, the Dealer Manager or any officer or director thereof, or by or on behalf of any person controlling the Company or the Dealer Manager, (ii) delivery of any Shares and payment therefor, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor of Participating Dealer or of any party to this Agreement, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity agreement contained in this Section XIV.
XV. Undertaking to Not Facilitate a Secondary Market in the Shares.
Participating Dealer acknowledges that there is no public trading market for the Shares and that there are limits on the ownership, transferability and redemption of the Shares, which significantly limit the liquidity of an investment in the Shares. Participating Dealer also acknowledges that the Company’s share repurchase plan (the “Plan”) provides only a limited opportunity for investors to have their Shares purchased by the Company and that the Company’s board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Participating Dealer hereby agrees that so long as the Company has not listed the Shares on a national securities exchange, Participating Dealer will not engage in any action or transaction that would facilitate or otherwise create the appearance of a secondary market in the Shares without the prior written approval of the Dealer Manager.
XVI. Arbitration.
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising between the parties relating to this Agreement (whether such dispute arises under any federal, state or local statute or regulation, or at common law), shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered in accordance with the then-current commercial arbitration rules of FINRA in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including the governing law provisions of this Agreement and pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1 – 16)). The parties will request that the arbitrator or arbitration panel (“Arbitrator”) issue written findings of fact and conclusions of law. The Arbitrator shall not be empowered to make any award or render any judgment for punitive damages, and the Arbitrator shall be required to follow applicable law in construing this Agreement, making awards, and rendering judgments. The decision of the arbitration panel shall be final and binding, and judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction. All arbitration hearings will be held at the Atlanta, Georgia FINRA District Office or at another mutually agreed upon site. The parties may agree on a single arbitrator, or, if the parties cannot so agree, each party will have the right to choose one arbitrator, and the selected arbitrators will choose a third arbitrator. Each arbitrator must have experience and education that qualify him or her to competently address the specific issues to be designated for arbitration. Notwithstanding the preceding, no party will be prevented from immediately seeking provisional remedies in courts of competent jurisdiction, including but not limited to, temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, but such remedies will not be sought as a means to avoid or stay arbitration.
XVII. Termination; Survival; Amendment; Entire Agreement.
Participating Dealer will immediately suspend or terminate its offer and sale of Shares upon the request of the Company or the Dealer Manager at any time and will resume its offer and sale of Shares hereunder upon subsequent request of the Company or the Dealer Manager. Any party may terminate this Agreement by written notice pursuant to Section XX below, which termination notice may be delivered in such party’s sole discretion. Such termination shall be effective 48 hours after the mailing of such written notice. This Agreement shall automatically terminate without the requirement for further action by any party to this Agreement upon the termination of the Dealer Manager Agreement.
10
LEGAL02/44544150v5


Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Dealer Manager shall pay to Participating Dealer all earned but unpaid compensation to which Participating Dealer is or becomes entitled under Section V hereof at such time as such compensation or reimbursement becomes payable.
The respective agreements and obligations of Participating Dealer and the Dealer Manager set forth in Sections V, XII through XIV and XVI through XXII of this Agreement and Section 8 of the Dealer Manager Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the payment of any amount to Participating Dealer, Participating Dealer agrees to pay Participating Dealer’s proportionate share of any claim, demand or liability asserted against Participating Dealer and the other Participating Distribution Agents (as defined in the Dealer Manager Agreement) on the basis that such Participating Distribution Agents or any of them constitute an association, unincorporated business or other separate entity, including in each case such Participating Distribution Agent’s proportionate share of any expenses incurred in defending against any such claim, demand or liability.
This Agreement may be amended at any time by the Dealer Manager by written notice to Participating Dealer, and any such amendment, including any amendment to the Dealer Manager Agreement, shall be deemed accepted by Participating Dealer upon placing an order for sale of Shares after it has received such notice.
This Agreement and the schedules hereto are the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, if any, between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.
XVIII. Use of Company and Invesco Names.
Except as expressly provided herein, nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Dealer Manager of any consent that would otherwise be required under this Agreement or applicable law prior to the use of Participating Dealer of the name or identifying marks of the Company, the Dealer Manager, “Invesco” or “Invesco Real Estate” (or any combination or derivation thereof). The Dealer Manager reserves the right to withdraw its consent to the use of the Company’s name at any time and to request to review any materials generated by Participating Dealer that use the Company’s or Invesco’s name or mark. Any such consent is expressly subject to the continuation of this Agreement and shall terminate with the termination of this Agreement as provided herein.

XIX. Assignment; Third Party Beneficiary.
Participating Dealer shall have no right to assign this Agreement or any of Participating Dealer’s rights hereunder or to delegate any of Participating Dealer’s obligations. Any purported assignment or delegation by Participating Dealer shall be null and void. The Dealer Manager shall have the right to assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement by written notice, and Participating Dealer shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment by execution hereof. Dealer Manager shall provide written notice of any such assignment to Participating Dealer. The Company is a third party beneficiary with respect to this Agreement and may enforce its rights, to the extent set forth herein, against any party to this Agreement.
XX. Notice.
All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or delivered (i) when delivered personally or by commercial messenger, (ii) on the business day of transmission if sent by email to the email address given below, with written confirmation of receipt, and (iii) one (1) business day following deposit with a recognized overnight courier service, provided such deposit occurs prior to the deadline imposed by such service for overnight delivery, in each case above provided such communication is addressed to the intended recipient thereof as set forth below:

In any action to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or to secure damages for its breach, the prevailing party shall recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees. This Agreement and any disputes relative to the interpretation or enforcement hereto shall be governed by and construed under the internal laws, as opposed to the conflicts of law provisions, of the State of Delaware. Venue for any action brought hereunder (including arbitration) shall lie exclusively in Atlanta, Georgia.
XXII. No Partnership.

INVESCO DISTRIBUTORS, INC.
Name of Participating Dealer:
The following Schedule reflects the compensation as agreed upon between Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”) and Participating Dealer, effective as of the effective date of the Participating Dealer Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer in connection with the offering of shares of Class D Common Stock, Class D-1 Common Stock, Class E Common Stock, Class I Common Stock, Class S Common Stock and Class S-1 Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”), of Invesco Commercial Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”).

Except as otherwise provided herein, all expenses incurred by Participating Dealer in the performance of Participating Dealer’s obligations hereunder, including, but not limited to, expenses related to the Shares and any attorneys’ fees, shall be at Participating Dealer’s sole cost and expense.
Upfront Selling Commissions
Except as may be provided in the “Subscriptions, Share Repurchase Program, Plan of Distribution and Valuation––Plan of Distribution” section of the Memorandum, as compensation for completed sales (as defined below) by Participating Dealer of Shares that Participating Dealer is authorized to sell and for services rendered by Participating Dealer hereunder, the Dealer Manager shall reallow to Participating Dealer an upfront selling commission in an amount up to [•]% of the transaction price per Share on such completed sales of Shares by Participating Dealer. Participating Dealer shall not receive selling commissions for sales of any Shares pursuant to the DRP. For purposes of this Schedule I, a “completed sale” shall occur if and only if a transaction has closed with a subscriber for Shares pursuant to all applicable offering and subscription documents, payment for the Shares has been received by the Company in full in the manner provided in Section III of the Agreement, the Company has accepted the Subscription Agreement of such subscriber, and the Company has thereafter distributed the selling commission to the Dealer Manager in connection with such transaction. Participating Dealer affirms that the Dealer Manager’s liability for selling commissions payable to Participating Dealer is limited solely to the Selling Commissions received by the Dealer Manager from the Company associated with Participating Dealer’s sale of Shares.
Participating Dealer may withhold the selling commissions to which it is entitled pursuant to the Agreement, this Schedule I and the Memorandum from the purchase price for the Shares in the Offering and forward the balance to the Company or its agent as set forth in the Subscription Agreement if it represents to the Dealer Manager that: (i) Participating Dealer is legally permitted to do so; and (ii) (A) Participating Dealer meets all applicable net capital requirements under the rules of FINRA or other applicable rules regarding such an arrangement; (B) Participating Dealer has forwarded the Subscription Agreement to the Company or its agent within the time required under Section III, and the Company has accepted the subscription prior to forwarding the purchase price for the Shares, net of the selling commissions, to which Participating Dealer is entitled, to the Company or its agent; and (C) Participating Dealer has verified that there are sufficient funds in the investor’s account with Participating Dealer to cover the entire cost of the subscription. Participating Dealer shall wire such subscription funds to the Company or its agent as set forth in the Subscription Agreement by the end of the first business day following the Company’s acceptance of the subscription.

Participating Dealer shall be responsible for implementing any discounts or other special circumstances described in or otherwise provided for in the “Subscriptions, Share Repurchase Program, Plan of Distribution and Valuation––Plan of Distribution” section of the Memorandum. Requests to combine purchase orders of Shares as a part of a combined order for the purpose of qualifying for discounts as described in the “Subscriptions, Share Repurchase Program, Plan of Distribution and Valuation––Plan of Distribution” section of the Memorandum must

be made in writing by Participating Dealer, and any resulting reduction in selling commissions will be prorated among the separate subscribers.
Stockholder Servicing Fees
The payment of the stockholder servicing fee to Participating Dealer is subject to terms and conditions set forth herein and the Memorandum as may be amended or supplemented from time to time. If Participating Dealer elects to sell Class D Shares, Class D-1 Shares, Class S Shares or Class S-1 Shares, eligibility to receive the stockholder servicing fee with respect to the Class D Shares, Class D-1 Shares, Class S Shares or Class S-1 Shares, as applicable, sold by Participating Dealer is conditioned upon Participating Dealer acting as broker-dealer of record with respect to such Shares and complying with the requirements set forth below, including providing stockholder and account maintenance services with respect to such Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, such services are non-distribution services, other than those primarily intended to result in the sale of Shares.
 
 (i)The existence of an effective Participating Dealer Agreement or ongoing Servicing Agreement between the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer; and
 
 (ii)
the provision of the following services with respect to the Class D Shares, Class D-1 Shares, Class S Shares or Class S-1 Shares, as applicable, by Participating Dealer:
 
 1.assistance with recordkeeping, including maintaining records for and on behalf of Participating Dealer’s customers reflecting transactions and balances of Shares owned;
 
 2.answering investor inquiries regarding the Company, including distribution payments and reinvestments;
 
 3.helping investors understand their investments upon their request; and
 
 4.share repurchase requests.
In connection with this provision, Participating Dealer agrees to reasonably cooperate to provide certification to the Company, the Dealer Manager, and its agents (including its auditors) confirming the provision of services to each particular class of stockholders upon reasonable request. Participating Dealer hereby represents by its acceptance of each payment of the Servicing Fee that it complies with each of the above requirements and is providing the above-described services.
Subject to any special circumstances or limitations described in or otherwise provided in the “Subscriptions, Share Repurchase Program, Plan of Distribution and Valuation––Plan of Distribution” section of the Memorandum, the Dealer Manager will pay Participating Dealer a stockholder servicing fee with respect to Class S Shares equal to [•]% per annum of the aggregate NAV of outstanding Class S Shares sold by Participating Dealer (including with respect to Shares sold in connection with the DRP), with respect to Class S-1 Shares equal to [•]% per annum of the aggregate NAV of outstanding Class S-1 Shares sold by Participating Dealer (including with respect to Shares sold in connection with the DRP), with respect to Class D Shares equal to [•]% per annum of the aggregate NAV of the outstanding Class D Shares sold by Participating Dealer (including with respect to Shares sold in connection with the DRP) and with respect to Class D-1 Shares equal to [•]% per annum of the aggregate NAV of the outstanding Class D-1 Shares sold by Participating Dealer (including with respect to Shares sold in connection with the DRP). The Dealer Manager will pay the stockholder servicing fee to Participating Dealer monthly in arrears. All determinations regarding the total amount and rate of reallowance of the stockholder servicing fee, Participating Dealer’s compliance with the listed conditions, and/or the portion retained by the Dealer Manager will be made by the Dealer Manager in its sole discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the terms of the Memorandum, at such time as Participating Dealer is no longer the broker-dealer of record/custodian with respect to such Shares or no longer satisfies any or all of the
16
LEGAL02/44544150v5


conditions in the Agreement giving rise to the stockholder servicing fee, then Participating Dealer’s entitlement to the stockholder servicing fees related to such Shares shall cease and Participating Dealer shall not receive the stockholder servicing fee for any portion of the month in which such party is not eligible to receive the stockholder servicing fees on the last day of the month. Broker-dealer transfers will be made effective as of the start of the first business day of a month. All determinations will be made by the Dealer Manager in good faith in its sole discretion.
The Dealer Manager will cease paying the stockholder servicing fees with respect to any Class D Share or Class S Share held in a stockholder’s account at the end of the month in which the Dealer Manager, in conjunction with the Company’s transfer agent, determines that total upfront selling commissions and stockholder servicing fees paid with respect to the Shares held by such stockholder within such account would exceed, in the aggregate, 8.75% of the gross proceeds from the sale of such Shares (including the gross proceeds of any Shares issued under the DRP upon the reinvestment of distributions paid with respect thereto or with respect to any Shares issued under the DRP directly or indirectly attributable to such Shares). At the end of such month, each such Class S Share or Class D Share will convert into a number of Class I Shares (including any fractional Shares), each with an equivalent aggregate NAV as such Share. In addition, the Dealer Manager will cease paying the stockholder servicing fees on the Class D Shares, Class D-1 Shares, Class S Shares and Class S-1 Shares on the earlier to occur of the following: (i) a listing of a class of stock of the Company or (ii) the Company’s merger or consolidation with or into another entity, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, in each case in a transaction in which Stockholders receive cash or securities listed on a national securities exchange.

General

Selling commissions and stockholder servicing fees due to Participating Dealer pursuant to this Agreement will be paid to Participating Dealer within 30 days after receipt by the Dealer Manager. Participating Dealer, in its sole discretion, may authorize Dealer Manager to deposit selling commissions, stockholder servicing fees or other payments due to it pursuant to this Agreement directly to its bank account. If Participating Dealer so elects, Participating Dealer shall provide such deposit authorization and instructions in Schedule II to this Agreement.
The parties hereby agree that the foregoing selling commissions and reallowed stockholder servicing fees are not in excess of the usual and customary distributors’ or sellers’ commission received in the sale of securities similar to the Shares, that Participating Dealer’s interest in the Offering is limited to such selling commissions and reallowed stockholder servicing fees, as applicable, from the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer’s indemnity referred to in the Dealer Manager Agreement, and that the Company is not liable or responsible for the direct payment of such selling commissions and reallowed stockholder servicing fees to Participating Dealer.
Participating Dealer waives any and all rights to receive compensation until it is paid to and received by the Dealer Manager. Participating Dealer acknowledges and agrees that, if the Company pays selling commissions or stockholder servicing fees, as applicable, to the Dealer Manager, the Company is relieved of any obligation for selling commissions or stockholder servicing fees, as applicable, to Participating Dealer. The Company may rely on and use the preceding acknowledgement as a defense against any claim by Participating Dealer for selling commissions or stockholder servicing fees, as applicable, the Company pays to Dealer Manager but that Dealer Manager fails to remit to Participating Dealer. Participating Dealer affirms that the Dealer Manager’s liability for selling commissions and stockholder servicing fees payable is limited solely to the proceeds of selling commissions and stockholder servicing fees, as applicable, receivable from the Company and Participating Dealer hereby waives any and all rights to receive payment of selling commissions or any reallowance of stockholder servicing fees due until such time as the Dealer Manager is in receipt of the selling commission or stockholder servicing fees, as applicable, from the Company. Notwithstanding the above, Participating Dealer affirms that, to the extent Participating Dealer retains selling commissions as described above under “Upfront Selling Commissions,” neither the Company nor the Dealer Manager shall have liability for selling commissions payable to Participating Dealer, and that Participating Dealer is solely responsible for retaining the selling commissions due to Participating Dealer from the subscription funds received by Participating Dealer from its customers for the purchase of Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Such due diligence expenses may include travel, lodging, meals and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Participating Dealer and its personnel when visiting the Company’s offices or properties to verify information relating to the Company or its properties. Participating Dealer shall provide a detailed and itemized invoice for any such due diligence expenses and shall obtain the prior written approval from the Dealer Manager for such expenses, and no such expenses shall be reimbursed absent a detailed and itemized invoice. All such reimbursements will be made in accordance with, and subject to the restrictions and limitations imposed under the Memorandum, applicable FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations.

By Participating Adviser’s acceptance of this Agreement, Participating Adviser hereby makes the Shares available for purchase by the clients of the Participating Adviser on a non-exclusive basis and hereby agrees to use its best efforts to sell the Shares for cash on the terms and conditions set forth in the Memorandum.

(b) It is empowered under applicable laws and by Participating Adviser’s organizational documents to enter into this Agreement and perform all activities and services of Participating Adviser provided for herein and there are no impediments, prior or existing, or regulatory, self-regulatory, administrative, civil or criminal matters affecting Participating Adviser’s ability to perform under this Agreement.
(c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; the incurrence of the obligations set forth herein; and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, including the issuance and sale of the Shares, will not constitute a breach of, or default under, any agreement or instrument by which Participating Adviser is bound, or to which any of its assets are subject, or any rule, regulation or order of any court or other governmental agency or body with jurisdiction over it.

Participating Adviser agrees to notify the Dealer Manager immediately if Participating Adviser ceases to be a registered investment adviser in good standing under the Act or under the securities laws of any state in which Participating Adviser is currently registered or licensed.

Participating Adviser agrees to comply and shall comply with any applicable requirements with respect to its participation in any resales or transfers of the Shares.

None of (i) Participating Adviser, (ii) any of Participating Adviser’s directors, executive officers, other officers participating in the Offering, general partners or managing members, (iii) any of the directors, executive officers or other officers participating in the Offering of any such general partner or managing member of Participating Adviser, or (iv) any other officers or employees of Participating Adviser or any such general partner or managing member of Participating Adviser that have been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the Offering (each, a “Participating Adviser Covered Person” and, collectively, the “Participating Adviser Covered Persons”), is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to 506(d)(1)(viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualifying Event”), except for a Disqualifying Event (a) contemplated by Rule 506(d)(2) of the Securities Act and (b) a description of which has been furnished in writing to the Company and the Dealer Manager prior to the date hereof or, in the case of a Disqualifying Event occurring after the date hereof, prior to the date of any further offering of Shares.

Participating Adviser agrees to retain such documents and records in Participating Adviser’s records for a period of six years from the date of the applicable sale of Shares, to otherwise comply with all applicable record keeping requirements and to make such documents and records available to (i) the Dealer Manager and the Company upon request and (ii) representatives of the SEC, FINRA and applicable state securities administrators upon Participating Adviser’s receipt of an appropriate document, subpoena or other appropriate request for documents from any such agency. Participating Adviser shall not purchase any Shares for a discretionary account without obtaining the prior written approval of Participating Adviser’s customer and such customer’s completed and executed Subscription Agreement.
Participating Adviser further represents that it understands that the Shares have not been registered and are not expected to be registered under the laws of any country or jurisdiction outside of the United States except as otherwise described in the Memorandum.
XI. Disclosure Review; Confidentiality of Information.
Participating Adviser agrees that it shall have reasonable grounds to believe based on the information made available to it through the Memorandum or other materials that all material facts are adequately and accurately disclosed in the Memorandum and provide a basis for evaluating the Shares. In making this determination, Participating Adviser shall evaluate, at a minimum, items of compensation, physical properties, tax aspects, financial stability and experience of the sponsor, conflicts of interest and risk factors, and appraisals and other pertinent reports.
It is anticipated that (i) Participating Adviser and Participating Adviser’s officers, directors, managers, employees, owners, members, partners, diligence personnel or other agents of Participating Adviser that are conducting a due diligence inquiry on behalf of Participating Adviser and (ii) persons or committees, as the case may be, responsible for determining whether Participating Adviser will participate in the Offering ((i) and (ii) are collectively, the “Diligence Representatives”) either have previously or will in the future have access to certain Confidential Information (defined below) pertaining to the Company, the Dealer Manager, the Adviser or their
6

respective affiliates. For purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” shall mean and include: (i) trade secrets concerning the business and affairs of the Company, the Dealer Manager, the Adviser, or their respective affiliates; (ii) confidential data, know-how, current and planned research and development, current and planned methods and processes, marketing lists or strategies, slide presentations, business plans, however documented, belonging to the Company, the Dealer Manager, the Adviser, or their respective affiliates; (iii) information concerning the business and affairs of the Company, the Dealer Manager, the Adviser, or their respective affiliates (including, without limitation, historical financial statements, financial projections and budgets, investment-related information, models, budgets, plans, and market studies, however documented); (iv) any information marked or designated “Confidential—For Due Diligence Purposes Only”; and (v) any notes, analysis, compilations, studies, summaries and other material containing or based, in whole or in part, on any information included in the foregoing. Participating Adviser agrees to keep, and to cause its Diligence Representatives to keep, all such Confidential Information strictly confidential and to not use, distribute or copy the same except in connection with Participating Adviser’s due diligence inquiry. Participating Adviser agrees to not disclose, and to cause its Diligence Representatives not to disclose, such Confidential Information to the public, or to Participating Adviser’s sales staff, financial advisors, or any person involved in selling efforts related to the Offering or to any other third party and agrees not to use the Confidential Information in any manner in the offer and sale of the Shares. Participating Adviser further agrees to use all reasonable precautions necessary to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information, including, but not limited to (a) limiting access to such information to persons who have a need to know such information only for the purpose of Participating Adviser’s due diligence inquiry and (b) informing each recipient of such Confidential Information of Participating Adviser’s confidentiality obligation. Participating Adviser acknowledges that Participating Adviser or its Diligence Representatives may previously have received Confidential Information in connection with preliminary due diligence on the Company, and agrees that the foregoing restrictions shall apply to any such previously received Confidential Information. Participating Adviser acknowledges that Participating Adviser or its Diligence Representatives may in the future receive Confidential Information either in individual or collective meetings or telephone calls with the Company, and agrees that the foregoing restrictions shall apply to any Confidential Information received in the future through any source or medium. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) if approved in writing for disclosure by the Company or the Dealer Manager, (b) pursuant to a subpoena or as required by law, or (c) as required by regulation, rule, order or request of any governing or self-regulatory organization (including without limitation the SEC), provided that Participating Adviser shall notify the Dealer Manager in advance if practicable under the circumstances of any attempt to obtain Confidential Information pursuant to provisions (b) and (c).
XII. Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Programs.
Participating Adviser hereby represents that it has complied and will comply with Section 326 of the Patriot Act and the implementing rules and regulations promulgated thereunder in connection with its anti-money laundering obligations. Participating Adviser hereby represents that it has adopted and implemented, and will maintain a written anti-money laundering compliance program (“AML Program”) including, without limitation, anti-money laundering policies and procedures relating to customer identification in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including federal and state securities laws, the Patriot Act, Executive Order 13224 – Executive Order on Terrorist Financing Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism. In accordance with these applicable laws and regulations and its AML Program, Participating Adviser agrees to verify the identity of its new customers; to maintain customer records; and to check the names of new customers against government watch lists, including the Office of Foreign Asset Control’s list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons. Additionally, Participating Adviser will monitor account activity to identify patterns of unusual size or volume, geographic factors and any other “red flags” described in the Patriot Act as potential signals of money laundering or terrorist financing. Participating Adviser will submit to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network any required suspicious activity reports about such activity and further will disclose such activity to applicable federal and state law enforcement when required by law. Upon request by the Dealer Manager at any time, Participating Adviser hereby agrees to furnish (a) a copy of its AML Program to the Dealer Manager for review, and (b) a copy of the findings and any remedial actions taken in connection with Participating Adviser’s most recent independent testing of its AML Program.
XIII. Privacy.
7
LEGAL02/44544150v5


Participating Adviser agrees as follows:
Participating Adviser agrees to abide by and comply in all respects with (a) the privacy standards and requirements of the GLBA and applicable regulations promulgated thereunder, (b) the privacy standards and requirements of any other applicable federal or state law, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), and (c) its own internal privacy policies and procedures, each as may be amended from time to time.

The parties hereto acknowledge that from time to time, Participating Adviser may share with the Company and the Company may share with Participating Adviser nonpublic personal information (as defined under the GLBA) of customers of Participating Adviser. This nonpublic personal information may include, but is not limited to a customer’s name, address, telephone number, social security number, account information and personal financial information. Participating Adviser shall only be granted access to such nonpublic personal information of each of its customers that pertains to the period or periods during which Participating Adviser served as the registered investment adviser for such customer’s account. Participating Adviser, the Dealer Manager and the Company shall not disclose nonpublic personal information of any customers who have opted out of such disclosures, except (a) to service providers (when necessary and as permitted under the GLBA), (b) to carry out the purposes for which one party discloses such nonpublic personal information to another party under this Agreement (when necessary and as permitted under the GLBA) or (c) as otherwise required by applicable law. Any nonpublic personal information that one party receives from another party shall be subject to the limitations on usage described in this Section XIII. Except as expressly permitted under the FCRA, Participating Adviser agrees that it shall not disclose any information that would be considered a “consumer report” under the FCRA.
Participating Adviser shall be responsible for determining which customers have opted out of the disclosure of nonpublic personal information by periodically reviewing and, if necessary, retrieving a list of such customers (the “List”) to identify customers that have exercised their opt-out rights. In the event Participating Adviser, the Dealer Manager or the Company expects to use or disclose nonpublic personal information of any customer for purposes other than as set forth in this Section XIII, it must first consult the List to determine whether the affected customer has exercised his or her opt-out rights. The use or disclosure of any nonpublic personal information of any customer that is identified on the List as having opted out of such disclosures, except as set forth in this Section XIII, shall be prohibited.
Participating Adviser shall implement commercially reasonable measures in compliance with industry best practices designed (a) to assure the security and confidentiality of nonpublic personal information of all customers; (b) to protect such information against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information; (c) to protect against unauthorized access to, or use of, such information that could result in material harm to any customer; (d) to protect against unauthorized disclosure of such information to unaffiliated third parties; and (e) to otherwise ensure its compliance with all applicable privacy standards and requirements of federal or state law (including, but not limited to, the GLBA), and any other applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Participating Adviser further agrees to cause all its agents, representatives, affiliates, subcontractors, or any other party to whom Participating Adviser provides access to or discloses nonpublic personal information of customers to implement appropriate measures designed to meet the objectives set forth in this Section XIII.
XIV. Indemnification.
For the purposes of this Section XIV, an entity’s “Indemnified Parties” (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall include the entity itself and such entity’s officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls such entity within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act.
(a) Participating Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager and each of their respective Indemnified Parties, from and against any and all loss, liability, action, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (“Losses”) to which any of the Indemnified Parties may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in (a) the Memorandum or (b) any Authorized Sales Literature; or (ii) the omission to state in the Memorandum or Authorized Sales Literature a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
8
LEGAL02/44544150v5


the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that clauses (i) and (ii) apply, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Dealer Manager by or on behalf of Participating Adviser specifically for inclusion in the Memorandum or Authorized Sales Literature; (iii) any use by Participating Adviser or its representatives or agents in the offer and sale of the Shares of (a) sales literature that is not Authorized Sales Literature, (b) use of Authorized Sales Literature with potential investors who are not Accredited Investors, (c) use with investors of materials that are not designated or otherwise approved for use with end investors, (d) “financial professional use only” materials with investors, or (e) Authorized Sales Literature in a particular jurisdiction if such Authorized Sales Literature bears a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Shares in such jurisdiction; (iv) any untrue statement made by Participating Adviser or its representatives or agents or omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares; (v) any material violation of this Agreement; (vi) any failure to comply with applicable laws governing privacy issues, money laundering abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts, including applicable rules of the SEC, FINRA and the Patriot Act; or (vii) any other failure to comply with applicable rules of federal or state securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Participating Adviser will reimburse the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending such Losses. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that Participating Adviser may otherwise have.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section XIV of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section XIV, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the indemnifying party will relieve the indemnifying party from any liability under this Section XIV as to the particular item for which indemnification is then being sought, but not from any other liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the Indemnified Party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section XIV(c) below) incurred by such Indemnified Party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party. Any Indemnified Party shall not be bound to perform or refrain from performing any act pursuant to the terms of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such Indemnified Party.
(c) The indemnifying party under this Section XIV of this Agreement shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one Indemnified Party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one Indemnified Party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obligated to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been selected by a majority of the Indemnified Parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such Indemnified Parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an Indemnified Party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.
(d) The indemnity agreement contained in this Section XIV shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of Participating Adviser, or any person controlling Participating Adviser or by or on behalf of the Company, the Dealer Manager or any officer or director thereof, or by or on behalf of any person controlling the Company or the Dealer Manager, (ii) delivery of any Shares and
9
LEGAL02/44544150v5


payment therefor, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor of Participating Adviser or of any party to this Agreement, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity agreement contained in this Section XIV.
XV. Undertaking to Not Facilitate a Secondary Market in the Shares.
Participating Adviser acknowledges that there is no public trading market for the Shares and that there are limits on the ownership, transferability and redemption of the Shares, which significantly limit the liquidity of an investment in the Shares. Participating Adviser also acknowledges that the Company’s share repurchase plan (the “Plan”) provides only a limited opportunity for investors to have their Shares purchased by the Company and that the Company’s board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Participating Adviser hereby agrees that so long as the Company has not listed the Shares on a national securities exchange, Participating Adviser will not engage in any action or transaction that would facilitate or otherwise create the appearance of a secondary market in the Shares without the prior written approval of the Dealer Manager.
XVI. Arbitration.
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising between the parties relating to this Agreement (whether such dispute arises under any federal, state or local statute or regulation, or at common law), shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered in accordance with the then-current commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including the governing law provisions of this Agreement and pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1 – 16)). The parties will request that the arbitrator or arbitration panel (“Arbitrator”) issue written findings of fact and conclusions of law. The Arbitrator shall not be empowered to make any award or render any judgment for punitive damages, and the Arbitrator shall be required to follow applicable law in construing this Agreement, making awards, and rendering judgments. The decision of the arbitration panel shall be final and binding, and judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction. All arbitration hearings will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, or in another mutually agreed upon location. The parties may agree on a single arbitrator, or, if the parties cannot so agree, each party will have the right to choose one arbitrator, and the selected arbitrators will choose a third arbitrator. Each arbitrator must have experience and education that qualify him or her to competently address the specific issues to be designated for arbitration. Notwithstanding the preceding, no party will be prevented from immediately seeking provisional remedies in courts of competent jurisdiction, including but not limited to, temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, but such remedies will not be sought as a means to avoid or stay arbitration.

XVII. Termination; Survival; Amendment; Entire Agreement.
Participating Adviser will immediately suspend or terminate its offer and sale of Shares upon the request of the Company or the Dealer Manager at any time and will resume its offer and sale of Shares hereunder upon subsequent request of the Company or the Dealer Manager. Any party may terminate this Agreement by written notice pursuant to Section XX below, which termination notice may be delivered in such party’s sole discretion. Such termination shall be effective 48 hours after the mailing of such written notice. This Agreement shall automatically terminate without the requirement for further action by any party to this Agreement upon the termination of the Dealer Manager Agreement.
Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Dealer Manager shall pay to Participating Adviser all earned but unpaid compensation to which Participating Adviser is or becomes entitled under Section V hereof at such time as such compensation or reimbursement becomes payable.
The respective agreements and obligations of Participating Adviser and the Dealer Manager set forth in Sections V, XII through XIV and XVI through XXII of this Agreement and Section 8 of the Dealer Manager Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement.
10
LEGAL02/44544150v5


Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the payment of any amount to Participating Adviser, Participating Adviser agrees to pay Participating Adviser’s proportionate share of any claim, demand or liability asserted against Participating Adviser and the other Participating Distribution Agents (as defined in the Dealer Manager Agreement) on the basis that such Participating Distribution Agents or any of them constitute an association, unincorporated business or other separate entity, including in each case such Participating Distribution Agent’s proportionate share of any expenses incurred in defending against any such claim, demand or liability.
This Agreement may be amended at any time by the Dealer Manager by written notice to Participating Adviser, and any such amendment, including any amendment to the Dealer Manager Agreement, shall be deemed accepted by Participating Adviser upon placing an order for sale of Shares after it has received such notice.
This Agreement is the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, if any, between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.
XVIII. Use of Company and Invesco Names.
Except as expressly provided herein, nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Dealer Manager of any consent that would otherwise be required under this Agreement or applicable law prior to the use of Participating Adviser of the name or identifying marks of the Company, the Dealer Manager, “Invesco” or “Invesco Real Estate” (or any combination or derivation thereof). The Dealer Manager reserves the right to withdraw its consent to the use of the Company’s name at any time and to request to review any materials generated by Participating Adviser that use the Company’s or Invesco’s name or mark. Any such consent is expressly subject to the continuation of this Agreement and shall terminate with the termination of this Agreement as provided herein.

XIX. Assignment; Third Party Beneficiary.
Participating Adviser shall have no right to assign this Agreement or any of Participating Adviser’s rights hereunder or to delegate any of Participating Adviser’s obligations. Any purported assignment or delegation by Participating Adviser shall be null and void. The Dealer Manager shall have the right to assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement by written notice, and Participating Adviser shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment by execution hereof. Dealer Manager shall provide written notice of any such assignment to Participating Adviser. The Company is a third party beneficiary with respect to this Agreement and may enforce its rights, to the extent set forth herein, against any party to this Agreement.
XX. Notice.
All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or delivered (i) when delivered personally or by commercial messenger, (ii) on the business day of transmission if sent by email to the email address given below, with written confirmation of receipt, and (iii) one (1) business day following deposit with a recognized overnight courier service, provided such deposit occurs prior to the deadline imposed by such service for overnight delivery, in each case above provided such communication is addressed to the intended recipient thereof as set forth below:

XXI. Attorneys’ Fees; Applicable Law and Venue.
In any action to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or to secure damages for its breach, the prevailing party shall recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees. This Agreement and any disputes relative to the interpretation or enforcement hereto shall be governed by and construed under the internal laws, as opposed to the conflicts of law provisions, of the State of Delaware. Venue for any action brought hereunder (including arbitration) shall lie exclusively in Atlanta, Georgia.
XXII. No Partnership.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted to constitute Participating Adviser as an employee, agent or representative of, or in association with or in partnership with, the Dealer Manager, the Company or the other Participating Distribution Agents. Instead, this Agreement shall only constitute Participating Adviser as a dealer authorized by the Dealer Manager to sell the Shares according to the terms set forth in the Memorandum and in this Agreement.

(iii) any gross negligence, fraud, willful misconduct, or breach by any Borrower Party or its Affiliates of any Loan Document or environmental Laws (notwithstanding the acts or omissions of any Indemnitee); provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to any Claims arising from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable decision.

(iii) Assuming that no portion of the Loan is funded with ERISA Plan Assets, unless the applicable Lender is relying on a prohibited transaction exemption, the conditions of which have all been satisfied, no Primary Obligor shall take any action, or omit to take any action, which would give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 4975(c)(1)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 406(a) of ERISA that would subject such Lender to any tax, penalty, damages or other claim under the Internal Revenue Code or ERISA. (h) ERISA Plan Assets (i) If any Primary Obligor: (A) provided a certificate of a Fund Responsible Officer pursuant to clause (h)(ii) on Annex IV, or USActive 60742384.160742384.3 32

(ii) If any Primary Obligor provided an ERISA Operating Company Opinion pursuant to clause (h)(i) on Annex IV or Section 8.2(h)(i), such Primary Obligor shall provide to the Administrative Agent, by the 60th day of each ERISA Annual Valuation Period of such Primary Obligor, a certificate, addressed to the Administrative Agent, signed by a Fund Responsible Officer, certifying that such Primary Obligor has met the requirements to be an ERISA Operating Company for the twelve-month period following the end of such ERISA Annual Valuation Period. (iii) If such Primary Obligor does not have “significant” participation by ERISA Investors under ERISA, such Primary Obligor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, concurrently with annual financial statements, a certificate certifying that the underlying assets of such Primary Obligor do not constitute ERISA Plan Assets because less than 25% of the total value of each class of equity interests in such Primary Obligor is held by “benefit plan investors” under Section 3(42) of ERISA. 8.3 Confidentiality (a) The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all information (including financial statements, Capital Commitments, Fund Documents, investments under the Operative Documents, identities of the Investors, and any other data, records, reports and forecasts) disclosed by or on behalf of the Adviser, a Borrower Party or Investor to such Person or its attorneys, accountants, agents or service providers in connection with this Credit Agreement, in accordance with such Person’s customary procedures, but not any information that was publicly available prior to such disclosure (“Confidential Information”).

(iii) or a Change in Law has made it unlawful for the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans, then all outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall automatically convert to Prime Rate Loans on the last day of the then-current Interest Rate Reset Period (or earlier if required by Law), and all new Loans will be made as Prime Rate Loans. 9.3 Change in Law (a) If a Lender reasonably determines that as a result of any Change in Law, there is any (i) increase in the cost to such Lender of Utilizations, (ii) decrease in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection therewith (excluding Taxes), (iii) increase in or imposition of Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or Connection Income Taxes) on the Utilizations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (iv) or decrease in its (or an Affiliate’s) return on capital, as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies on capital adequacy and expected return on capital), the Borrower shall compensate such Lender for such increase or reduction. (b) Each Lender shall notify the Borrower promptly upon becoming aware of any event occurring after the Closing Date, and in any event within 270 days thereafter, which may entitle such Lender to compensation hereunder; provided that if the event giving rise to such compensation is retroactive, then such 270-day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect. 9.4 Taxes (a) Payments Free of Taxes (i) All payments by the Borrower Parties hereunder shall be made free and clear, and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by Law.

(b) Indemnified Taxes Each Borrower Party agrees to indemnify each Recipient for, USActive 60742384.160742384.3 38


 
(i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by the Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Recipient, (ii) and any liability arising therefrom or related thereto, including penalties, interest, and legal expenses incurred in the enforcement hereof, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority.

(iii) The Recipient shall not pay to the Borrower any amount that would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Recipient would have been in if Indemnified Taxes had not been imposed and indemnification payments had never been paid.

11. Erroneous Payments (a) If the Administrative Agent: (i) notifies a Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (each, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously received by, such Payment Recipient (any such funds, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (ii) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or shall cause such Payment Recipient to) no later than 2 Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in immediately available funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the federal funds rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. (b) A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause 11 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (c) Without limiting the foregoing , each Lender or any Payment Recipient agrees that if it receives a payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates: (i) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in the Credit Agreement or in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (iii) that such Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error (in whole or in part), then, in each such case: (A) it acknowledges and agrees that an error and mistake has been made, in each case, with respect to such payment; and (B) it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other Payment Recipient to) within 1 Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in the preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause 11. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause 11 shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s USActive 60742384.160742384.3


 
obligations pursuant to the foregoing or on whether an Erroneous Payment has been made. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under this clause 11. (d) The parties hereto agree that (i) in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender to the rights and interests of such Lender, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount and (ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower; (e) Nothing in this clause 11 shall be interpreted to increase (or accelerate ), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent. (f) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive any claim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any claim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this clause 11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the applicable commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document. 12.

(b) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Credit Agreement, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, any payment of amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 7.5 (Set-Off) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent; (ii) second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Account Control Event exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Credit Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a cash collateral account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender's potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Credit Agreement; (iv) fourth, so long as no Account Control Event exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; and (v) fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans and (B) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in this Credit Agreement were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. (c) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will notify the parties hereto, and as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par USActive 60742384.160742384.3

(d) Defaulting Lender Set-Off. If any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff under Section 7.5 (Set-Off): (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8 (Ratable Sharing) and Section 3.2 (Payment of Obligations) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. (e) Assignments by Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.4 (Assignments and Participations), no assignment of any rights or obligations by a Defaulting Lender shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient to (i) pay in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (ii) acquire its full Exposure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this clause (e), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Credit Agreement until such compliance occurs.
