, Rome G. Arnold III, Daniel B. Hébert and Barbara Daniel, each of whom is an Independent Director. Alfred F. Hurley, Jr. serves as the chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee seeks candidates who possess the background, skills and expertise to make a significant contribution to the board of directors, NMFC and its stockholders. In considering possible candidates for election as a director, the nominating and corporate governance committee take into account, in addition to such other factors as they deem relevant, the desirability of selecting directors who:

| • | have sufficient time available to devote to the affairs of NMFC; |

| • | are able to work with the other members of the board of directors and contribute to the success of NMFC; |

| • | can represent the long-term interests of NMFC’s stockholders as a whole; and |

| • | are selected such that the board of directors represent a range of backgrounds and experience. |
