APPENDIX 3 
 
SUMMARY OF THE TERMS OF THE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN 
 
Share Awards to the Investment Manager 
 
Under the Share Incentive Plan, the Company will, subject to the Written
Resolution becoming effective, grant two nil-cost share option awards to the
Investment Manager (the "DCPAwards") as follows: 
 
               Number of Shares to which the DCP Award relates                                                
 DCP Award 1:  Such number of Shares as equals 3.5 per cent. of the Shares in issue following Admission; and  
 DCP Award 2:  Such number of Shares as equals 2.5 per cent. of the Shares in issue following Admission.      
 
 
The full vesting of the DCP Awards is subject to the satisfaction of both
performance vesting targets and time vesting conditions. 
 
Performance targets 
 
The vesting of the DCP Awards is conditional on the average closing price of
the Shares (as derived from Bloomberg) trading at or above the relevant target
share price set out below (the "Target Share Price") for a continuous period
of 30 Trading Days (the "Performance Targets"). The Target Share Price may be
adjusted pursuant to the rules of the Share Incentive Plan (the "Rules") from
time to time. 
 
DCP Award 1 will performance vest as follows: 
 
 Target Share Price  Vesting percentage of the Shares subject to DCP Award 1  
 35p                 1/4                                                      
 40p                 1/4                                                      
 45p                 1/4                                                      
 50p                 1/4                                                      
 
 
DCP Award 2 will performance vest as follows: 
 
 Target Share Price  Vesting percentage of the Shares subject to DCP Award 2  
 60p                 1/3                                                      
 70p                 1/3                                                      
 80p                 1/3                                                      
 
 
If the Performance Targets have not been satisfied in full or in part by the
fifth year from grant (or earlier if relevant under the Rules), then the DCP
Awards shall not vest. 
 
Reduction in the DCP Awards 
 
If at any time, as reasonably determined by the Board, the Company fails to
meet the annual Board approved net operating income budget for the Company for
two consecutive financial years any unvested Shares available under the DCP
Awards will be reduced as follows: 
 
 Shortfall against net operating income budget                      DCP Award reduction                                                                                                                                  
 Equal to or in excess of 10 per cent. but lower than 20 per cent.  Such number of Shares as shall equal 20 per cent. of the annual management fee under the Investment Management Agreement divided by the Issue Price  
 Equal to or in excess of 20 per cent.                              Such number of Shares as shall equal 30 per cent. of the annual management fee under the Investment Management Agreement divided by the Issue Price  
 
 
Where the Board has expressly instructed the incurring of additional costs not
covered by the Company's annual budget, the Board, acting reasonably, shall
make such adjustments to the net income operating budget to ensure that DCP's
entitlement to the DCP Awards is not unduly prejudiced by the incurring of
such additional costs. 
 
Where a DCP Award has been reduced, as set out above, the DCP Award may be
increased in a subsequent year where the aggregate monetary outperformance
achieved by the Company against its net operating income budgets in prior
years is at least equal to, or in excess of, the aggregate shortfall which
triggered the reduction. 
 
Vesting dates 
 
Subject to satisfaction of the Performance Targets (at any point during the
five year period from grant of the DCP Awards), each tranche of Shares shall
vest in one-third increments with the first such increment vesting on the date
a tranche is performance vested and the remaining increments vesting on each
yearly anniversary from the date of grant of the DCP Awards. For the avoidance
of doubt, any tranches which have performance vested shall become fully vested
on the third anniversary of the date of grant of the DCP Awards and,
thereafter, any tranches which become performance vested up to the fifth
anniversary of the date of grant of the DCP Awards shall become fully vested
immediately. 
 
Dividend equivalents 
 
Where a dividend is paid from distributable profits on the Shares, to the
extent that the DCP Awards have satisfied the Performance Targets
("Performance Vested"), DCP will be entitled to receive a cash benefit (to be
held in an escrow account established by the Company's administrator on behalf
of DCP) determined by reference to the value of the dividends that would have
been paid on the Performance Vested Shares in respect of dividend record dates
occurring during the period between the date of grant and the date of
Performance Vesting and thereafter until the Shares are transferred to DCP and
then to be paid once fully vested in cash. 
 
Share Awards to Directors 
 
Under the Share Incentive Plan, the Company will also, subject to the Written
Resolution becoming effective, grant nil-cost share option awards to certain
of the Directors equal, in aggregate, to 1.25 per cent. of the Shares in issue
following Admission (the "Director Awards"). The recipients of the Director
Awards and their individual entitlements are as follows: 
 
 Director         Percentage entitlement to the Shares the subject of the Director Awards  
 Laurence Geller  46.70                                                                    
 Robert Heller    33.30                                                                    
 Graham Warner    20.00                                                                    
 
 
Performance targets 
 
The vesting of the Director Awards is conditional on the Company achieving the
same share price Performance Targets as DCP Award 1 as set out above. The
Director Awards will therefore performance vest as follows: 
 
 Target Share Price  Vesting percentage of the Shares subject to Director Awards  
 35p                 1/4                                                          
 40p                 1/4                                                          
 45p                 1/4                                                          
 50p                 1/4                                                          
 
 
The Director Awards are subject to the same time vesting conditions as the DCP
Awards and also have the benefit of the same dividend equivalents, in both
cases as described above.

the gross asset value of the Company calculated as at the last preceding 31
December calculation date; and (ii) E8,500,000. 
 
2          Non-Core Asset Incentive Fee 
 
The Investment Manager will be entitled to the Non-Core Asset Incentive Fee
based on the Net Profits received by the Company from the disposal of any
Non-Core Asset. 
 
No Non-Core Asset Incentive Fee will be payable in respect of a Non-Core Asset
unless the aggregate disposal proceeds actually received by the Company in
respect of such Non-Core Asset exceeds the Base Value (the "Payment
Condition"). 
 
Subject to satisfaction of the Payment Condition in respect of any Non-Core
Asset, the Net Proceeds actually received by the Company from the disposal of
such Non-Core Asset will be divided between the Investment Manager and the
Company on the following basis: 
 
·      first, 100 per cent. to the Company until the Company has received an
amount equal to the Base Value; 
 
·      second, 12.5 per cent. to the Investment Manager and 87.5 per cent. to
the Company until the Net Proceeds equal 80 per cent. of the Base Value; 
 
·      third, 17.5 per cent. to the Investment Manager and 82.5 per cent. to
the Company until the Net Proceeds equal 100 per cent. of the Base Value; and 
 
·      thereafter, 25 per cent. to the Investment Manager and 75 per cent. to
the Company. 
 
50 per cent. of each Non-Core Asset Incentive Fee will be placed in an
interest bearing escrow account to be operated by the Company's administrator.
Any funds held in this escrow account will be dealt with as follows;
commencing on 31 December 2015, in the event that, as at 31 December in each
year, the aggregate Net Proceeds received by the Company in relation to all
Non-Core Assets disposed of during the previous 12 month period (the
"Look-back Period"): 
 
·      does not equal or exceed the aggregate of the Base Values of any
Non-Core Assets disposed of during an applicable Look-back Period (the
"Aggregate Base Value") then the Company's administrator will be authorised to
repay any escrowed funds to the Company until such time as the Company has
received an amount equal to the Aggregate Base Value and thereafter any
remaining escrowed funds (if any) will be paid to the Investment Manager; or 
 
·      equals or exceeds the Aggregate Base Value then the Company's
administrator will be authorised to pay to the Investment Manager the escrowed
funds. 
 
3          Core Asset Incentive Fee 
 
The Investment Manager will be entitled to the Core Asset Incentive Fee based
on the Net Profits received by the Company from the Core Assets or the
disposal thereof. 
 
The Net Proceeds will be divided between the Investment Manager and the
Company on the following basis: 
 
·      first, 100 per cent. to the Company until the Company has received an
amount equal to the Aggregate Core Asset Base Value; 
 
·      second, 100 per cent. to the Company until the Company shall have
received an amount equal to the Core Asset Capital and Costs; 
 
·      third, 100 per cent. to the Company until the Company shall have
received an amount equal to the Base Cost compounded quarterly at the average
1-month Euribor rate plus 500 basis points (but capped at a maximum interest
rate of 6 per cent. per annum); 
 
·      fourth, 60 per cent. to the Investment Manager and 40 per cent. to the
Company until the Investment Manager shall have received an amount equal to 20
per cert. of the Net Profits then distributed; and 
 
·      thereafter, 20 per cent. to the Investment Manager and 80 per cent. to
the Company such that the Investment Manager shall receive a total Core Asset
Incentive Fee equivalent to 20 per cent. of the Net Profits. 
 
On the disposal of a Core Asset, the Investment Manager shall be entitled to
receive an advance of the Core Asset Incentive Fee on the following basis: 
 
·      where the disposal takes place prior to the date on which the Company
shall have first received an amount of Net Profits from the disposal of Core
Assets equal to, or in excess of, E113,055,360 (the "Trigger Date"), an amount
equal to 6.666 per cent. of the Net Profits received by the Company on the
disposal of such Core Asset; or 
 
·      where the disposal takes place after the Trigger Date, an amount equal
to 10 per cent. of the Net Profits received by the Company on the disposal of
such Core Asset, 
 
(in each case a "Core Asset Incentive Fee Advance Payment"). 
 
The aggregate value of any Core Asset Incentive Fee Advance Payments will at
any time be set off against, and thereby reduce to not less than zero, any
liability of the Company to pay Core Asset Incentive Fees. 
 
4          Fees Clawback and set off 
 
If on the Clawback Assessment Date, the Company has not received an amount
from the disposal of the Core Assets equal or in excess of the Aggregate Core
Asset Base Value, the Investment Manager will pay to the Company an amount to
cover the difference, not to exceed the aggregate amount of any Core Asset
Incentive Fee Advance Payments received by the Investment Manager. The
"Clawback Assessment Date" is the earlier of, (i) disposal of the Company's
interest in the last Core Asset concerned; or (ii) 1 August 2020. 
 
In the event that a Fees Clawback applies the Company shall be entitled to set
off at any time the amount of any Fees Clawback payment due against, (i) any
liability of the Company to pay Non-Core Asset Incentive Fees and/or (ii) any
others fees due and payable by the Company to the Investment Manager, but
excluding the Annual Management Fee. In addition, the Company will have a
security interest over any unvested Shares awarded to the Investment Manager
under the Share Incentive Plan. 
 
5          Effect of Termination 
 
In the event that the Investment Manager's appointment under the Investment
Management Agreement is terminated: 
 
·      for good cause pursuant to any of the summary termination provisions in
the Investment Management Agreement, then the Investment Manager will (save
where termination has occurred due to fraud of the Investment Manager as
established by a court of competent jurisdiction) be entitled to receive any
Core Asset and Non-Core Asset Incentive Fees accrued but unpaid as at the
effective date of such termination but the Investment Manager's entitlement to
the receipt of unaccrued future fees arising after the date of effective
termination of the Investment Management Agreement will lapse; or 
 
·      as a result of the expiry of the initial term of the Investment
Management Agreement in 2020 without agreement of an extension, then the
Investment Manager will be entitled to receive Core Asset Incentive Fees and
Non-Core Asset Incentive Fees in relation to all Core Assets, Non-Core Assets
committed to by the Company prior to the effective date of termination even if
such investments are realised after the date of termination. 
 
6          Change of control provisions 
 
The Company may terminate the Investment Management Agreement immediately by
notice in writing if there is a Change of Control of the Company. For these
purposes a "Change of Control" occurs where (i) a person or persons acting in
concert (the "Offeror") make an unconditional offer in cash to all of the
other shareholders of the Company on the same basis and terms to acquire all
remaining shares in the Company that the Offeror does not already own (the
"Offer"), and (ii) as a result of the Offer, the Offeror acquires Control of
the Company at a price not lower to that prescribed in the Offer. For these
purposes, such person or persons are deemed to have "Control" of the Company
if it or they have an interest in shares which carry 50 per cent. or more of
the voting rights of the Company. 
 
Where the Investment Management Agreement is terminated as a result of a
Change of Control, the Investment Manager, in addition to any payments it
might be entitled to receive on termination will also be entitled to receive a
termination payment (the "Change of Control Termination Payment") equivalent
to a multiple of the Annual Management Fee payable to the Investment Manager
at the date of termination on the following basis: 
 
 Where the Offer price is equal to or in excess of the higher of (i) the Threshold Price, and (ii) 70 per cent. of the Net Asset Value per Share before deferred income tax liabilities  
 Year in which change of control occurs                                                                                                                                                  Change of Control Termination Payment
