INCREMENTAL ASSUMPTION  AGREEMENT, dated as  of August 18,  2017(this
“Assumption Agreement”), by and among CAPITAL SOUTHWEST CORPORATION (the
“Borrower”), ING CAPITAL LLC (“ING”), in its capacity as Administrative Agent
(in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and LEGACYTEXAS BANK (the
“Assuming Lender”), relating to the SENIOR SECURED REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT,
dated as of August 30, 2016 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the several lenders from time to time party to the Credit
Agreement and TEXAS CAPITAL BANK, N.A., as documentation agent.

A.    The Borrower has requested that the Assuming Lender provide a Commitment
in an amount equal to $15,000,000 (the “Incremental Commitment”), pursuant to
Section 2.06(f) of the Credit Agreement.

B.    The Assuming Lender is willing to make such an Incremental Commitment to
the Borrower on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in
the Credit Agreement.

Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and
other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Defined Terms; Interpretation; Etc. Capitalized terms used and not
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit
Agreement. The rules of construction set forth in Section 1.03 of the Credit
Agreement shall apply equally to this Assumption Agreement. This Assumption
Agreement shall be a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 2. Incremental Commitment. (a) Pursuant to Section 2.06(f) of the Credit
Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Assuming Lender
hereby agrees to make the Incremental Commitment to the Borrower effective on
and as of the Increase Effective Date (as defined below). The Incremental
Commitment shall constitute an additional “Commitment” and a “Commitment
Increase” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and the Increase Effective Date shall be the “Commitment Increase Date” of the
Incremental Commitment for purposes of Section 2.06(f) of the Credit Agreement.

(b)    The terms of the Incremental Commitment shall be the same as the other
Commitments made under the Credit Agreement.

(c)    On the Increase Effective Date, in connection with the adjustments to any
outstanding Loans and participation interests contemplated by Section
2.06(f)(iv) of the Credit Agreement, the Assuming Lender shall make a payment to
the Administrative Agent, for account of the other Lenders, in an amount
calculated by the Administrative Agent in accordance with such section, so that
after giving effect to such payment and to the distribution thereof to the other
Lenders in accordance with such section, the Loans are held  ratably by
the  Lenders  in  accordance  with  the  respective  Commitments  of such

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Lenders (after giving effect to the Incremental Commitment and any other
Commitment Increases, if any, occurring on the date hereof).

(d)    As of the Increase Effective Date, the Assuming Lender shall become a
Lender under the Credit Agreement and shall have all rights and obligations of a
Lender under the Credit Agreement and any other documents or instruments
delivered pursuant thereto.

SECTION 3. Conditions Precedent to Incremental Commitment. This Assumption
Agreement, and the obligations of the Assuming Lender to make its Incremental
Commitment, shall become effective on and as of the Business Day (the “Increase
Effective Date”) occurring on or before August 18, 2017, on which the following
conditions precedent have been satisfied:

(a)    the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this
Assumption Agreement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the

have received a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower dated
the date hereof certifying as to the foregoing;

(c)    (i) the Assuming Lender shall have received all fees due to such Assuming
Lender on the date hereof pursuant to any outstanding fee letters or commitment

date hereof pursuant to any outstanding fee letters by and between the Borrower
and ING;

(d)    the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of the

as a result of the adjustments of Borrowings pursuant to Section 2(c) of this
Assumption Agreement; and

(e)    pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative
Agent shall have received all other reasonable and documented out-of- pocket
fees and expenses related to this Agreement owing on the date hereof.

SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. To induce the other
parties hereto to enter into this Assumption Agreement, the Borrower represents
and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Assuming Lender that, as of the
date hereof:

(a)    This Assumption Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Borrower, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws   affecting

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable
principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

(b)    Each of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower in or
pursuant to the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as
if made on such date (except to the extent they relate specifically to an
earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects
as of such earlier date, and unless a representation or warranty is already
qualified by materiality or by Material Adverse Effect, in which case it is true
and correct in all respects).

(c)    No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date
hereof or shall result from the Incremental Commitment.

SECTION 5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Assuming Lender. The
Assuming Lender (a) represents and warrants that (i) from and after the Increase
Effective Date, it shall be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement as a
Lender thereunder and, to the extent of the Incremental Commitment, shall have
the obligations of a Lender thereunder, and (ii) it has received a copy of the
Credit Agreement, together with copies of the statement of assets and
liabilities and partners’ capital and the related statements of operations,
statement of changes in net assets, statement of cash flows and related schedule
of investments delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(c) thereof, and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Assumption Agreement and to make the
Incremental Commitment on the basis of which it has made such analysis and
decision independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender; and (b) agrees that (i) it will, independently and without
reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents, and
(ii) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which
by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a
Lender.

SECTION 6. Consent and Reaffirmation. (a) The Borrower agrees that,
notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Assumption Agreement, the Guarantee
and Security Agreement and each of the other Security Documents continue to be
in full force and effect, (b) the Borrower acknowledges that the terms
“Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations,” “Guaranteed Obligations” and “Secured
Obligations” (each as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement) include
any and all Loans made now or in the future by the Assuming Lender in respect of
the Incremental Commitment and all interest and other amounts owing in respect
thereof under the Loan Documents (including all interest and expenses accrued or
incurred subsequent to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding with respect to the Borrower, whether or not such interest or
expenses are allowed as a claim in such proceeding), and (c) the Borrower
confirms its grant of a security interest in its assets as Collateral for the
Secured Obligations, all as provided in the Loan Documents as originally
executed (and amended prior to the date hereof and supplemented hereby). On the
Increase Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this
Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of similar import shall
mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified by this

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Agreement and each reference in any other Loan Document shall mean the Credit
Agreement as modified hereby.

SECTION 7. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be given in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 8. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Assumption
Agreement in accordance with the Credit Agreement, including the reasonable and
documented fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel for the
Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9. Counterparts. This Assumption Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all
such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same contract.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Assumption
Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be as effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

SECTION 10. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Other.
THIS ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER
THIS ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN

SECTION 11. Headings. The headings of this Assumption Agreement are for purposes
of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Period.
