INCREMENTAL COMMITMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of
April 26, 2016 and effective as of the Effective Date, by and among FS
INVESTMENT CORPORATION II (the “Borrower”), ING CAPITAL LLC, in its capacity as
Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and CREDIT SUISSE AG, CAYMAN
ISLANDS BRANCH as assuming lender (the “Assuming Lender”), relating to the
SENIOR SECURED REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of February 23, 2016 (as
amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Senior Secured Revolving Credit
Agreement, dated as of April 25, 2016, and as further amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the several banks and other financial
institutions or entities from time to time party to the Credit Agreement.

A. The Borrower has requested that the Assuming Lender provide an additional
Commitment (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be a Multicurrency
Commitment) on and as of the Effective Date (as defined below) in an aggregate
amount equal to $25,000,000 (the “Incremental Commitment”) pursuant to
Section 2.07(e) of the Credit Agreement.

B. The Assuming Lender is willing to make the Incremental Commitment on and as
of the Effective Date 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 Agreement. This 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 2.07(e) 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 Effective Date. The Incremental Commitment shall constitute an
additional “Multicurrency Commitment” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.

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

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

(c) On the Effective Date, in connection with the adjustments, if any, to any
outstanding Loans and participation interests contemplated by
Section 2.07(e)(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 Multicurrency Commitments of such
Lenders (after giving effect to the Incremental Commitment and any other
Commitment Increases, if any, occurring on the Effective Date).

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

SECTION 3. Conditions Precedent to Incremental Commitment. This Agreement, and
the Incremental Commitment of the Assuming Lender, shall become effective on and

that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Assuming Lender;

(b) on the Effective Date, each of the conditions set forth or referred to in
Section 2.07(e)(i) of the Credit Agreement shall be satisfied, and pursuant to
Section 2.07(e)(ii)(x) of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall
have received a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower dated

expenses related to this Agreement due and owing on the Effective Date.

Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower

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

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).

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
