10. | Tax and ERISA Information |
This Section 10 includes information for the Subscriber and the Subscriber’s tax adviser to review and complete with regard to the tax status of the individual or entity in whose name the investment will be held.
For purposes of this Section 10: The term “Individual” means an individual within the meaning of Code Section 542(a)(2), as modified by Code Section 856(h)(3). Natural persons and the following organizations are treated as Individuals for these purposes:
| • | A pension trust under Code Section 501(c)(17) (a trust that provides for payment of supplemental unemployment compensation); |
| • | A private foundation under Code Section 509(a); and |
| • | A trust permanently set aside or used for charitable purposes as described in Code Section 642(c) (charitable trusts for estate planning purposes). |
In general, all other entities are not treated as Individuals.
The term “Beneficial Ownership” means the ownership of Shares of Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust, directly or indirectly, by an entity or Individual for purposes of Code Section 542(a)(2), taking into account the constructive ownership rules of Code Section 544, as modified by Code Section 856(h)(1)(B). In general, this means that Shares of Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust held, directly or indirectly, by or for (i) a corporation, partnership, estate, or trust shall be considered as owned directly proportionately by its shareholders, partners or beneficiaries, and (ii) a natural person’s spouse, brothers, sisters, ancestors and lineal descendants are treated as owned by that person. In addition, if any entity or Individual has an option to acquire Shares of Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust (or an option to acquire such an option or one of a series of such options), such Shares of Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust shall be treated as owned by such entity or Individual. Under these rules, each Subscriber will be treated as Beneficially Owning its proportionate share of Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust. As used in this Section 10, the terms “Beneficial Owner,” “Beneficially Owns” and “Beneficially Owned” have correlative meanings.

Annex A:
Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust
Terms and Conditions
The following terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) must be delivered with Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust Subscription Agreement in connection with your purchase of Shares of Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust. These Terms and Conditions are deemed part of the Subscription Agreement.
By signing the Subscription Agreement, you also acknowledge:
1. The above referenced Investment Amount may be accepted or rejected in whole or in part by Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust. By executing this Subscription Agreement, you agree to subscribe for any amount up to the amount that you have set forth above.
2. You acknowledge that the Adviser has the ability to, and intends to, waive all applicable fees, including management fee and any performance participation allocation for Class E shareholders pursuant to the Memorandum upon Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust becoming a “publicly offered REIT” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the event that the Class E shareholder no longer serves as an officer or employee of the Adviser or its affiliates, the Adviser may revoke the waiver of such fees, and such Class E shareholder may be subject to certain fees, or the Adviser has the right to convert the Class E shareholder’s Shares to a separate class of Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust shares which may be subject to higher fees than the Shares.
3. You are purchasing the Shares for your own account and not with a view to distribution or sale, and you should not expect to be able to sell your Shares regardless of how Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust performs. You understand that an investment in Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust is illiquid and appropriate only as a long-term investment.
4. At this time, there is no public trading market for Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust’s Shares and unless and until a listing of the Shares on an exchange occurs or a secondary market develops, repurchase of Shares by Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust will likely be the only way for you to dispose of your Shares. Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust is not obligated to repurchase any Shares under its share repurchase plan and may choose to repurchase only some, or even none, of the Shares that have been requested to be repurchased in any particular quarter in its discretion. In addition, repurchases will be subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions and limitations. These limitations include, subject to certain exceptions, an early repurchase deduction which provides that Class E Shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 98% of the applicable transaction price. In addition, the aggregate net asset value (“NAV”) of total repurchases of Class B Shares, Class S Shares, Class D Shares, Class I Shares and Class E Shares (including repurchases at certain non-U.S. investor access funds primarily created to hold Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust’s Shares but excluding any early repurchase deduction applicable to the repurchased shares) under the share repurchase plan will be limited to no more than 5% of Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust’s aggregate NAV per calendar quarter (measured using the average aggregate NAV attributable to shareholders as of the end of the immediately preceding three months). Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust’s board of trustees may make exceptions to, modify or suspend the share repurchase plan (including to make exceptions to the repurchase limitations, or repurchase fewer shares than such repurchase limitations) without shareholder approval. Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust does not intend to list its Shares on any securities exchange for what may be a significant time, if ever, and Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust does not expect a secondary market in the Shares to develop.
5. You should consider that you may not have access to the money you invest for an indefinite period of time. Additionally, because you will be unable to sell your Shares, you will be unable to reduce your exposure in any market downturn.
6. The amount of distributions, if any, are uncertain and at the discretion of Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust’s board of trustees.
7. Our distributions may be funded from unlimited amounts of offering proceeds or borrowings, which may constitute a return of capital and reduce the amount of capital available to us for investment. Any capital returned to shareholders through distributions will be distributed after payment of fees and expenses.
8. You understand the IRS rules regarding contribution limits for IRAs and other qualified account types. Further, you understand how these contribution limits may impact your ability to invest in the event you do not have sufficient funds within your IRA or other qualified account.
9. You understand the IRS rules regarding required minimum distributions and that the illiquid nature of Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust may impact your ability to meet required minimum distributions.
10. You acknowledge that IRS rules are subject to change and future changes may have unforeseen impacts on your investment in Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust.
11. You understand that the information provided herein will be relied upon by Fortress Credit Realty Income Trust, the Adviser, the board of trustees, the Administrator, their respective affiliates and their designees for the purpose of determining your eligibility to purchase Shares and compliance with applicable laws. You agree to provide, if requested, any additional information that may reasonably be required to determine your eligibility to purchase Shares or your status for purposes of the Code or any state, local or non-United States tax laws (including FATCA and similar information reporting rules).
