For Class A, Class I, Class T, Class D, Class N and Class Z Shares, for any calendar year in which the total return per share allocable to a class exceeds 6% per annum (the “Hurdle Amount”), RREEF America will receive up to 10% of the aggregate total return allocable to such class with a Catch-Up (defined below) calculated as follows: first, if the total return for the applicable period exceeds the Hurdle Amount, 25% of such total return in excess of the Hurdle Amount (the “Excess Profits”) until the total return reaches 10% (commonly referred to as a “Catch-Up”); and second, to the extent there are remaining Excess Profits, 10% of such remaining Excess Profits. b.

Any resulting performance component as of a given date is deducted from the Company's published NAV per share for such date. At each interim balance sheet date, the Company considers the estimated performance component that is probable to be due as of the end of the current calendar year in assessing whether the calculated performance component as of the interim balance sheet date meets the threshold for recognition in accordance with GAAP in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The ultimate amount of the performance component as of the end of the current calendar year, if any, may be more or less than the amount recognized by the Company as of any interim date and will depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the performance of the Company's investments, interest rates, capital raise and redemptions.
