Bank’s ratable share of such borrowing. Such Notice of Borrowing or oral request shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Loans requested from the Banks on the date of such borrowing. 

(b) Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the Borrowing Date of each borrowing, each Bank shall make available its share of
such borrowing, in federal or

other funds immediately available in Boston, to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01 hereof. Unless the Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in
Article III has not been satisfied or waived, the Agent will (x) make its share of such borrowing and the funds so received from the other Banks available to the Borrower at the Agent’s aforesaid address or (y) at the election of
Borrower as set forth in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, as may be reasonably acceptable to the Agent, wire its share of such borrowing and the funds so received from the other Banks to a third party designated by the Borrower in such Notice of
Borrowing, in each case, in federal funds or other funds immediately available to the Borrower or such other third party, as applicable, in each case on the Borrowing Date. The failure or refusal of any Bank to make available to the Agent as
provided herein its share of any borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank from its several obligations hereunder. 
 (c) If
any Bank makes a new Loan hereunder on a day on which the Borrower is to repay the principal amount of an outstanding Loan to such Bank, the Bank shall apply the proceeds of its new Loan to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the
difference (if any) between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be made available by the Agent as provided in clause (a) of this Section or remitted by the Borrower to the Bank as provided in Section 2.10
hereof, as the case may be. 
 (d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to any Borrowing Date that
such Bank will not make available to the Agent such Bank’s share of such borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Agent on such date in accordance with clause (b) of this Section and the Agent may
(but it shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Agent, such Bank agrees
to repay to the Agent, upon demand, such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall
repay to the Agent such amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Agent
within three Domestic Business Days after demand by the Agent, the Borrower agrees to repay to the Agent, upon demand, such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the
date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof. The provisions of this Section 2.03(d) shall not relieve any such Bank from any
liability to the Borrower. 
 SECTION 2.04. Loan Accounts; Notes; Records. (a) The Loans made by each Bank to the Borrower shall be
evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Bank in the ordinary course of business. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Bank to make or cause to be made, at or about the date of any Loan or at the time of receipt of
any payment of principal of any Loan, an appropriate notation on its loan accounts or records, including computer records, reflecting the making of such Loan or (as the case may be) the 

  
 NEXPOINT CAPITAL,

 19 








 
receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Loans set forth in any such loan accounts or records, including any computer records, maintained by a Bank with respect to the Loans made by
it shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Bank, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on any such loan account or record shall
not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to make payments of principal of and interest on the Loans when due. 

(b) The Borrower hereby agrees that if, in the opinion of any Bank, a promissory note or other evidence of debt is required,
appropriate or desirable to reflect or enforce the Debt of the Borrower resulting from the Loans made, or to be made, by such Bank, then, upon request of such Bank, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Bank, a promissory note
(each, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”) substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, payable to such Bank in an amount equal to such Bank’s Commitment Amount or, if less, the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of such Bank’s Loans, plus interest thereon as provided below, provided, that as a condition to issuing any Note in replacement of a previously issued Note that has been lost, the Borrower may require an
indemnity with respect to lost instruments from such Bank, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and its counsel. 

(c) The Agent’s records with respect to the Loans, the interest rates applicable thereto, each payment by the Borrower of
principal and interest on the Loans and fees, expenses and any other amounts due and payable in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the amount of the
Loans and the amount of principal and interest paid by the Borrower in respect of the Loans and as to the other information relating to the Loans and amounts paid and payable by the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 

SECTION 2.05. Mandatory Payments; Optional Prepayments. (a) Each Loan shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due
and payable, on the Termination Date. The Borrower promises to pay on the Termination Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Termination Date, all of the Loans outstanding on such date, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and other amounts outstanding hereunder. 
 (b) If at any time the aggregate principal amount of Loans
outstanding to the Borrower exceeds the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall, within three (3) Domestic Business Days, prepay such principal amount of one or more Loans (together with, in the case of LIBOR Loans, accrued interest thereon and the
amount, if any, payable pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof) as may be necessary so that after such prepayment the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding to the Borrower does not exceed the Borrowing Base. 

(c) If at any time the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding to the Borrower exceeds the Maximum Amount, the Borrower
shall, within three (3) Domestic Business Days, prepay such principal amount of one or more Loans 

  
 NEXPOINT CAPITAL,
INC. CREDIT AGREEMENT 


  
 20 








 
(together with, in the case of LIBOR Loans, accrued interest thereon and the amount, if any, payable pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof) as may be necessary so that after such prepayment
the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding to the Borrower does not exceed the Maximum Amount. 
 (d) If at any time
the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding to the Borrower exceeds the Aggregate Commitment Amount or the principal amount of Loans outstanding to any one Bank exceeds the Commitment Amount of such Bank, the Borrower shall promptly, but in
any case within one (1) Domestic Business Day, prepay such principal amount of one or more Loans (together with, in the case of LIBOR Loans, accrued interest thereon and the amount, if any, payable pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof)
as may be necessary to eliminate such excess. 
 (e) The Borrower may, with notice to the Agent no later than 11:30 a.m.
(Boston time) on the Domestic Business Day of such payment in the case of Base Rate Loans and upon at least three LIBOR Business Days’ notice of such payment in the case of LIBOR Loans, prepay any Loans in whole at any time, or from time to
time in part in an aggregate principal amount not less than $1,000,000 and in larger integral multiples of $100,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid (together with, in the case of LIBOR Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date of
prepayment and the amount, if any, payable pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof). Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the
Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the occurrence of other relevant events, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the
specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in such borrowing. 

(f) If the Borrower prepays all or any portion of the principal amount of any LIBOR Loan on any day other than the last day of
the Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall include the amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof. 

(g) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to clause (e), the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents
thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share of such prepayment. 
 (h) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Section 3.02 hereof, Loans prepaid prior to the Termination Date may be reborrowed prior to the Termination Date. 

SECTION 2.06. Interest Rates. (a) Subject to clause (c) of this Section 2.06, each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the period commencing with the date such Loan is made up to but not including the date such Loan is repaid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time. Interest
on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on the first Domestic Business Day of each calendar month and on the Termination Date. 

  
 NEXPOINT CAPITAL,
INC. CREDIT AGREEMENT 


  
 21 








 (b) Subject to Section 2.06(c) and Section 8.06 hereof,
each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the period commencing with the date such LIBOR Loan is made or continued through and including the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per
annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR Margin plus the applicable Adjusted LIBOR Offered Rate. Interest on each LIBOR Loan shall be payable in arrears on the first Domestic Business Day of each calendar month and on the Termination Date. 

(c) Any overdue principal of (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) interest on the Loans and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but not including the date of actual payment, at a rate
per annum equal to two percent (2%) above (i) in the case of overdue principal, the rate of interest otherwise applicable to such Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06 and (ii) in the case of other amounts, the Base Rate, in
each case until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment). 
 (d) The Agent shall determine the
interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error. 

SECTION 2.07. Fees. (a) During the Revolving Credit Period, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank a
commitment fee at the rate of 0.15% per annum on the daily amount by which such Bank’s Commitment Amount exceeded the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans made by such Bank (including, in the case of a Delinquent Bank, the
principal amount of all Loans with respect to which such Bank is delinquent). Such commitment fee shall accrue from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date. Accrued commitment fees payable hereunder shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on the first such day after the Effective Date, and on the Termination Date. 

(b) On the Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for its own account, a non-refundable structuring fee in the
sum of $25,000. 
 SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Each Bank’s Commitment Amount permanently shall
reduce to $0 and each Bank’s Commitment shall terminate on the Termination Date. 
 (b) Subject to
Section 2.05(d) hereof, during the Revolving Credit Period, the Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Domestic Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent, (i) terminate the Commitments at any time, or
(ii) reduce from time to time the aggregate Commitment Amounts by an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, whereupon the Commitment Amounts of each of the Banks shall be reduced pro
rata in accordance with their 

  
 NEXPOINT CAPITAL,
INC. CREDIT AGREEMENT 


  
 22 








 
Commitment Percentage of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, each Bank’s Commitment shall be terminated. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this
paragraph shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the occurrence of other
relevant events, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly after receiving any notice of the Borrower delivered pursuant
to this Section, the Agent will notify the Banks of the substance thereof. Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Banks the full amount of any commitment
fee then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction in the Commitment Amounts or termination of the Commitments may be reinstated. 

SECTION 2.09. Extension of Termination Date. (a) The Borrower may, by notice to the Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each
of the Banks) not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Termination Date”), request that the Banks extend the Termination Date for an additional 364 days
from the Existing Termination Date. Each Bank, acting in its sole discretion, shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Agent given on the date (and, subject to the provision below, only on the date) 21 days prior to the Existing Termination Date
(provided, if such date is not a Domestic Business Day, then such notice shall be given on the next succeeding Domestic Business Day) (the “Consent Date”), advise the Borrower whether or not such Bank agrees to such extension;
provided that each Bank that determines not to extend the Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Bank”) shall notify the Agent (who shall notify the Borrower) of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any
event no later than the Consent Date) and any Bank that does not advise the Borrower on or before the Consent Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Bank. The election of any Bank to agree to an extension of the Termination Date shall not
obligate any other Bank to agree to such extension. 
 (b) The Borrower shall have the right on or before the Existing
Termination Date to replace each Non-Extending Bank with, and otherwise add to this Agreement, one or more other commercial banks, which may include any Bank (each, prior to the Existing Termination Date, an “Additional Commitment
Bank”) with the approval of the Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld). Each Additional Commitment Bank shall enter into an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Bank shall,
effective as of the Existing Termination Date, undertake a Commitment (an “Additional Commitment”). If any such Additional Commitment Bank is a Bank, its Additional Commitment shall be in addition to such Bank’s Commitment
hereunder on such date. 
 (c) If (and only if) Banks with Commitment Amounts that, in the aggregate, together with the
proposed Commitment Amounts of the Additional Commitment Banks that will become effective on the Existing Termination Date, aggregate at least 51% of the aggregate Commitment Amounts (not including the proposed Commitment Amounts of the Additional
Commitment Banks) on the Consent Date shall have agreed to extend the Existing Termination Date, then, 

  
 NEXPOINT CAPITAL,
INC. CREDIT AGREEMENT 


  
 23 








 
effective as of the Existing Termination Date, the Existing Termination Date shall be extended to the date which is 364 days after the Existing Termination Date (provided, if such date is
not a Domestic Business Day, then such Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Domestic Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Bank shall thereupon become a “Bank” with a Commitment for all purposes of this
Agreement. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Existing Termination Date shall not be effective with
respect to any Bank unless: 
 (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the
notice requesting such extension, the Consent Date or the Existing Termination Date; 
 (ii) each of the representations and
warranties of the Borrower in Article IV hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of each of the date of the notice requesting such extension, the Consent Date and the Existing Termination Date with the same force
and effect as if made on and as of each such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); and 

(iii) each Non-Extending Bank shall have been paid in full by the Borrower all amounts owing to such Bank hereunder on or
before the Existing Termination Date. 
 If the Existing Termination Date is extended as provided in this Section 2.09, (a) the Commitment
of each Non-Extending Bank shall terminate on the Existing Termination Date and (b) from and after the Existing Termination Date, the aggregate Commitment Amounts of the Banks shall not include the Commitment Amounts of the Non-Extending Banks.

 SECTION 2.10. General Provisions as to Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal and interest on the Loans
and of fees hereunder and all other amounts due hereunder not later than 2:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the date when due, in Dollars and in federal or other funds immediately available in Boston, to the Agent at its address referred to in
Section 9.01 hereof. The Agent shall promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Agent for the account of the Banks. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, Base Rate Loans or of
fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day and interest shall accrue during such extension. Except as otherwise provided in the
definition of Interest Period, whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, LIBOR Loans shall be due on a day which is not a LIBOR Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding LIBOR Business Day unless
such LIBOR Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding LIBOR Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest
thereon shall be payable for such extended time. 

  
 NEXPOINT CAPITAL,

 (b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may (but it shall not be
required to), in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due to such Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall
repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal
Funds Rate. 
 (c) All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars
without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, unless the Borrower is required by law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower or its agent) to make such deduction or withholding. If any
Indemnified Taxes are required to be withheld, the Borrower will pay to the Agent, for the account of the Banks or (as the case may be) the Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such
additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Banks or the Agent to receive the same net amount which the Banks or the Agent would have received on such due date had no such Indemnified Taxes been required to be withheld. The
Borrower will deliver promptly to the Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all Taxes deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under such other Loan Document. If the Borrower reasonably believes that
such Indemnified Taxes were not correctly or reasonably asserted, the applicable Bank will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which shall be repaid to the Borrower so long as such efforts would
not, in the good faith determination of the Bank, result in any material additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it). 

(d) [reserved] 

(e) If the Agent or a Bank determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund or credit of any Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.10, it shall pay over such refund or credit to the Borrower (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under clause (c) of this Section 2.10), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Bank and without interest (other than any interest paid by
the relevant Authority with respect to such refund or credit); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or such Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Authority) to the Agent or such Bank in the event the Agent or such Bank is required to repay such refund or credit to such Authority. Each Bank agrees, that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to a Tax as to which
it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.10, it will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the


  
 NEXPOINT CAPITAL,
INC. CREDIT AGREEMENT 


  
 25 








 
continuing effect of any such event, including by completing and delivering or filing any Tax-related forms which would reduce or eliminate such Tax or additional amounts. 

(f) Each Bank agrees to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if such a change
would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any additional amounts payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(c) hereof and would not subject the Bank to any out-of-pocket cost or expense or, in the reasonable judgment of the
Bank, be disadvantageous to the Bank in any respect. 
 SECTION 2.11. Computation of Interest and Fees. All interest and fees
hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the prime rate, the interest
thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Agent’s determination of interest rates shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

SECTION 2.12. Withholding Tax Exemption. (a) Each Bank that is not a Foreign Bank shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to
the Agent) an original signed, properly completed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that the Bank is not subject to U.S. backup withholding tax, on or prior to the date on which the Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement, promptly
upon the obsolescence, expiration, or invalidity of any form previously delivered by the Bank, and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or Agent. 

(b) Any Foreign Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the
Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed
by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.
In addition, any Bank, if requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, including without limitation, as will enable the Borrower or
the Agent to determine whether or not the Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form or certificate previously delivered by
such Foreign Bank or from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(i) original signed and duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E
(or successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party that reduces or eliminates withholding tax;

 (ii) original signed and duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8ECI (or successor form); 
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio
interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a written certificate that such Foreign Bank is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a
“10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of
section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) original signed and duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or
successor form); 
 (iv) to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner, original signed and duly completed copies
of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form), Internal Revenue Service From W-8BEN (or successor form), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or successor
form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Bank is a partnership and one or more
direct or indirect partners of the Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the Bank may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; or 

(v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal
withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

(c) If a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to
fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under
FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this clause (c) of Section 2.12 hereof, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; provided that in the case of any of the Events of Default specified in
clause (g) or (h) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically without any notice to the Borrower or any other act by the Agent or any Bank, the Commitments shall thereupon terminate and the Loans (together with accrued interest
thereon) shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower. 

SECTION 6.02. Remedies. No remedy herein conferred upon the Banks is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law. In the case any one or more of the Events of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Banks shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, each Bank, if owed any amount with respect to the Loans may, with the consent of the Required
Banks but not otherwise, proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, including as permitted by applicable law the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if such amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other
legal or equitable right of such Bank. 
 ARTICLE VII. 

THE AGENT 
 SECTION
7.01. Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to
the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Any reference to an agent for the Banks in, or in connection with, any Loan Document shall be a reference to the Agent. 

SECTION 7.02. Action by Agent. The duties and responsibilities of the Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. The
relationship between the Agent and the Banks is and shall be that of agent and principal only, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loans Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for any Bank. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default or Event of Default except as expressly provided in Article VI. 

SECTION 7.03. Consultation with Experts. The Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts
selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. 

SECTION 7.04. Liability of Agent. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in connection 

  
 NEXPOINT CAPITAL,
INC. CREDIT AGREEMENT 


  
 41 








 
herewith (i) with respect to liability to one or more Banks only, with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks, or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection
with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items
required to be delivered to it; or (d) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith or therewith. The Agent
shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.

 SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitment Percentage, indemnify the Agent and its
affiliates, officers, directors and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) for all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, penalties, actions, judgments and expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever,
including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (collectively, the “Liabilities”) that such Person may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any
action taken or omitted by such Person hereunder or thereunder, provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to indemnify any such Person against any Liabilities that are determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Banks shall be deemed to
constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. 
 SECTION 7.06. Credit Decision. Each
Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.
Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking
or not taking any action under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.07. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any resignation of the Agent, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent with, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the prior written consent of the
Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on
behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent. 

  
 NEXPOINT CAPITAL,

 SECTION 7.08. Agent as Bank. In its individual capacity, State Street and any other Bank
that serves as a successor Agent hereunder shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect of its Commitment and the Loans made by it as it would have were it not also the Agent. 

SECTION 7.09. Distribution by Agent. If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity
hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its right to make such distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent
jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate
share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court. 

SECTION 7.10. Delinquent Banks. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, any Bank that (i) willfully does not or (ii) does not as a result of a Failure (as defined below) (A) make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any Loan, or (B) comply with the provisions of
Section 9.04 hereof with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Banks, where such Bank’s share of any payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of such
payments due and payable to all of the Banks, in each case as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a “Delinquent Bank”) and shall be deemed a Delinquent Bank until
such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Bank shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent
Banks for application to, and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The Delinquent Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Banks in proportion to their
respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. A Delinquent Bank shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans of the
nondelinquent Banks, the Banks’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. The
provisions of this Section 7.10 shall not affect the rights of the Borrower against any such Delinquent Bank. 

(b) For purposes of this Section 7.10, a “Failure” of a Bank shall mean (i) it shall seek the
appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official for it or any substantial part of its property, or shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with
respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator or other similar official for it or any substantial part of its property,
or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an 

  
 NEXPOINT CAPITAL,
INC. CREDIT AGREEMENT 


  
 43 








 
involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or (ii) it makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due, or
shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing, or (iii) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against it seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it, or (iv) an order for relief shall be entered against it under the
bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect. 
 ARTICLE VIII. 

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES 

SECTION 8.01. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy. (a) If any new law, rule or regulation, or any change after the Effective Date
in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law, rule or regulation by any Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending
Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency in connection therewith issued, promulgated or enacted after the Effective Date shall: 

(i) subject any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any Tax with respect to its Loans, its Note or its Commitment,
except for Excluded Taxes; or 
 (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such
requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable
Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) any other condition affecting its Loans, its Note or its Commitment; or 

(iii) impose on any Bank any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the
Loans or such Bank’s Commitment; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of
making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any Loan or such Bank’s Commitment, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note
with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, promptly upon demand by such Bank (and in any event within thirty (30) days after demand by such Bank) and delivery to the Borrower of the certificate required by
clause (c) hereof (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank the additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction. 

(b) If any Bank shall determine that any change after Effective Date in any existing applicable law, rule or regulation or any
new law, rule or regulation regarding liquidity or capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change after the Effective 

  
 NEXPOINT CAPITAL,
INC. CREDIT AGREEMENT 


  
 44 








 
Date in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any new request or directive
of general applicability regarding liquidity or capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency issued, promulgated or enacted after the Effective Date, has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its parent corporation) as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its parent corporation) could have achieved but for such law,
change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to liquidity and capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, promptly upon demand by such Bank (with a copy to the
Agent) (and in any event within thirty (30) days after demand by such Bank) the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its parent corporation) for such reduction. 

(c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the
Effective Date, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in
the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than three months prior to the date that
such Bank notifies the Borrower of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such three-month period
shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and the
calculations used in determining such additional amount or amounts shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 

SECTION 8.02. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any
borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the Agent shall determine or be notified by the Required Banks that: 
 (a) adequate and reasonable
methods do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable for such Interest Period on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Offered Rate, or 

(b) the Adjusted LIBOR Offered Rate as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Banks of
funding their LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period, 
 the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on
the Borrower and the Banks) to the Borrower and the Banks. In such event, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension 

  
 NEXPOINT CAPITAL,
INC. CREDIT AGREEMENT 


  
 45 








 
no longer exist, (i) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion with respect to LIBOR Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan,
(ii) each LIBOR Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and (iii) the obligations of the Banks to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until the Agent or the
Required Banks determine that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent or, as the case may be, the Agent at the instruction of the Required Banks, shall so notify the Borrower and the Banks. 

SECTION 8.03. Illegality. If any future applicable law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive, or any change in any present or future
applicable law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any present or future applicable law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive by any Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) with any new request or new directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall
make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its LIBOR Loans and such Bank shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon
until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (a) the commitment of such Bank to make LIBOR Loans or convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall forthwith be
suspended, and (b) such Bank’s Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loans or within such earlier period as may be
required by law. Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different LIBOR Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the reasonable judgment of
such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall reasonably determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding LIBOR Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower
shall promptly prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Loan, together with accrued interest thereon and any amount payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof. Concurrently with prepaying each
such LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall borrow a Base Rate Loan in an equal principal amount from such Bank (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related LIBOR Loans of the other Banks), and such Bank shall make
such a Base Rate Loan. 
 SECTION 8.04. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected LIBOR Loans. If (a) the obligation of any Bank
to make LIBOR Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.03 hereof or (b) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.01(a) hereof with respect to LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least two LIBOR
Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension
or demand for compensation no longer apply: 
 (a) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as LIBOR Loans shall
be made instead as Base Rate Loans, and 
 (b) after each of its LIBOR Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which
would otherwise be applied to repay such LIBOR Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead.

 SECTION 8.05. Replacement Banks. Upon (a) the election of any Bank to request
reimbursement by the Borrower for amounts due under Sections 8.01 or 8.03 hereof, (b) the suspension of any Bank’s obligation to make, convert to or continue LIBOR Loans or (c) any Bank becoming a Delinquent Bank, the
Borrower may, upon prior written notice to the Agent and such Bank, request that the Agent find a replacement Bank which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Borrower (a “Replacement Bank”). Each Bank agrees that,
should it be identified for replacement pursuant to this Section 8.05, it will promptly execute and deliver all documents and instruments reasonably required by the Borrower to assign such Bank’s Loans and Commitment to the
applicable Replacement Bank. The Agent shall cooperate with the Borrower in seeking a Replacement Bank and shall use its best efforts to identify a Replacement Bank and complete the assignment to such Replacement Bank of such Loans and Commitment
within 45 days of said written notice. 
 SECTION 8.06. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and to hold each Bank
harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (excluding, however, the LIBOR Margin) that such Bank shall sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Loans as and when
due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its LIBOR Loans, (b) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing or conversion
after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion relating thereto in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or (c) the making of any payment of a LIBOR Loan or the making of any
conversion of any such Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, including interest or fees payable by such Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any
such Loans. 
 SECTION 8.07. Change of Law. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for all
purposes of this Credit Agreement, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”) and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives thereunder or issued in
connection therewith (whether or not having the force of law) and (ii) all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision
(or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities (whether or not having the force of law). For the purposes of this Section 8.07, any such directive or issuance pursuant to Dodd-Frank or Basel III
shall be deemed to be a change in law regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented. 
 ARTICLE IX.

and shall be given to such party at its address or telex number or facsimile number set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto. Each such notice, request, consent or other communication shall

in the mails with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid or (c) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section; provided that notices to the Agent under Article II or Article
VII shall not be effective until received. 
 SECTION 9.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Bank in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Notes shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower shall promptly pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, including reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel for the Agent, in connection with the preparation, negotiation and closing
of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, the syndication of the facility established hereby, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or thereof or any waiver of any Default or Event of Default or alleged Default or Event of Default
hereunder, and any amendment or termination hereof or thereof and (ii) if a Default or an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and each Bank, including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside
legal counsel, in connection with such Default or Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amounts
pursuant to this Section 9.03(a) on account of Taxes. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent, each
Bank and each of their affiliates, officers, directors and employees (each, a “Covered Person”) and hold each Covered Person harmless from and against any and all Liabilities which may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against
such Covered Person, in each case arising out of or in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Covered Person shall be designated a party thereto) relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
the Loan Documents or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder, provided that no Covered Person shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for Liabilities that are determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Covered Person’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses,
claims, damages, or other such amounts arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 SECTION 9.04. Setoff. During the continuance of any Event
of Default, any deposits or other sums credited by or due from any of the Banks to the Borrower (subject, in the case of State Street, to any agreements or limitations applicable to the Custodian’s rights with respect to any such deposits which
are contained in, and solely to the extent that such deposits constitute collateral subject to, any control agreement (i) entered into prior to the date hereof 

  
 NEXPOINT CAPITAL,
INC. CREDIT AGREEMENT 


  
 48 








 
among the Custodian, the Borrower and one or more third parties or (ii) entered into hereafter among the Custodian, the Borrower and one or more third parties that does not contain a waiver
or prohibition of State Street’s right of setoff with respect to such deposits) may be applied to or setoff by such Bank against the payment of the Obligations of the Borrower to such Bank. Each of the Banks agrees with each other Bank that if
such Bank shall receive from the Borrower whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, or enforcement of a claim based on the Obligations owing to such Bank by proceedings against the Borrower at law or
in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to such Bank any amount in excess of its ratable portion
of the payments received by all of the Banks with respect to the Obligations owed to all of the Banks, such Bank will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Banks with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto
assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Bank receiving in respect of the Obligations owing to it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from such Bank, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 

SECTION 9.05. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if,
but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby, by the Agent); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless
signed by each affected Bank (a) increase the Commitment Amount of any Bank (except as provided in Section 9.06(c) hereof) or subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (b) reduce or forgive the principal of or rate of
interest on any Loan or any fees to the Banks hereunder (other than the application of the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c) hereof), (c) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan
or any fees to the Banks hereunder or for the termination of the Commitments (other than pursuant to Section 2.08(b) hereof), or (d) change the percentage of the Commitment Amounts or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the
Loans, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement. No delay or omission on the part of any Bank or any holder hereof in exercising any
right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other rights of such Bank or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on any further occasion.

 SECTION 9.06. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all of the Banks 

(b) Subject to clause (f) below, any Bank may at any time grant to one or more commercial banks (each a
“Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Agent, such Bank
shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly 

  
 NEXPOINT CAPITAL,
INC. CREDIT AGREEMENT 


  
 49 








 
with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that
such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) of Section 9.05 hereof without the
consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest; provided that
no Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount greater than its pro rata share of any amount the selling Bank would have received hereunder had no participation been sold (and each Participant shall be required to satisfy any
requirements the selling Bank is required to satisfy to receive such benefits). An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by clause (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a
participating interest granted in accordance with this clause (b). Each Bank that sells a participation, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each
Participant, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Participant pursuant to the terms hereof (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 
 (c) Subject to clause (f) below, any Bank may at any time assign
to one or more banks (each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate amount of at least $5,000,000 of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations,
pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance (each an “Assignment and Acceptance”) in substantially the form of Exhibit F attached hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank, with, if no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that no such consent of the
Borrower or the Agent shall be required if the Assignee is a Control Affiliate of the transferor Bank. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price
agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee with respect to the interest assigned, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement (in addition to any interest of such Bank held prior to such assignment) and shall have all the rights
and obligations of a Bank with the Commitment Amount as set forth in such instrument of assumption (in addition to any interest of such Bank held prior to such assignment), and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to
a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this clause (c), the transferor Bank, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate


  
 NEXPOINT CAPITAL,
INC. CREDIT AGREEMENT 


  
 50 








 
arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to the Assignor and the Assignee, and the Agent shall be authorized to revise Schedule 1 to reflect such assignment and to circulate
such revised Schedule 1 to the Banks and the Borrower, which revised Schedule 1 shall be deemed to be a part hereof and shall be incorporated by reference herein. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Bank shall pay to
the Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,000. The Assignee shall, prior to the date of consent of the Borrower to the assignment, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent certification as to exemption from
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 2.12 hereof (and shall thereafter be subject to the requirements thereof). 

(d) Without notice to or consent of any Person, any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement, and its Note, to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder. 

(e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 2.10(c) or Section 8.01 hereof than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. 

(f) No bank may become an Assignee pursuant to clause (c) above or an Additional Commitment Bank pursuant to
Section 2.09 hereof unless such bank constitutes a “bank” (as such term is used in Section 18(f)(1) of the Investment Company Act) in the reasonable judgment of the Borrower and the Agent. No Person may become a
Participant or an Assignee pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above or an Additional Commitment Bank pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof if that Person is an Affiliate of the Borrower. 

(g) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof
from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to
the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Banks, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. 
 SECTION 9.07. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each of the other loan
documents are contracts under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall for all purposes be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of said Commonwealth of Massachusetts (excluding the laws applicable to conflicts of
law). The Borrower agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other action brought by such person arising hereunder or in any

 51 








 
way related to this agreement or any of the other Loan Documents whether sounding in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be brought in the courts of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts or
the federal court sitting therein, and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court and the service of process in any suit being made upon such person by mail at the address specified in Section 9.01 hereof. The Borrower hereby
waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any suit brought in Suffolk County, Massachusetts or any court sitting therein or that a suit brought therein is brought in an inconvenient court. Nothing in this Agreement or in
any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Agent or any Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.08. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. Except as prohibited by law, the Borrower hereby waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any
litigation referred to in the preceding sentence any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages. The Borrower (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any
Bank or the Agent has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such Bank or the Agent would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers and (b) acknowledges that the Agent and the Banks have been induced to enter
into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party by, among other things, the waivers and certifications contained herein. 

SECTION 9.09. Confidential Information. (a) Each Bank agrees that any information, documentation or materials provided by the
Borrower or the Borrower’s Affiliates, employees, agents or representatives (“Representatives”) disclosing the portfolio holdings of the Borrower or disclosing other non-public information pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan
Documents (“Confidential Material”), whether before or after the date of this Agreement, shall be treated confidentially, using the same degree of care that such Bank uses to protect its own similar material. 

(b) Such Confidential Material may be disclosed to Representatives of each Bank who need to know such information in connection
with the transactions contemplated herein or in connection with managing the relationship of such Bank or its Affiliates with the Borrower (it being understood that the Bank will inform such Representatives when such disclosure is made of the
confidential nature of such information and will cause such Representatives to comply with the provisions of this Section 9.09) but shall not be disclosed to any third party and may not be used for purposes unrelated to the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents, including without limitation for the purposes of buying or selling securities, including shares issued by the Borrower; provided, however, that the Banks may disclose Confidential Material to
(i) the Federal Reserve Board pursuant to applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board (which, as of the Effective Date, require a filing of a list of all Margin Stock which directly or indirectly secures a Loan),
(ii) the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial process, (iii) counsel for any of the Banks or the Agent in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan

Documents, (iv) bank examiners, auditors and accountants, or (v) any Assignee or Participant (or prospective Assignee or Participant) as long as such Assignee or Participant (or
prospective Assignee or Participant) first agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.09. 
 Each Bank agrees to
promptly provide such information as is reasonably requested by the Borrower in order for the Borrower to monitor (as required by applicable law) whether the Bank’s use of Confidential Material complies with this Section 9.09.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement or the Loan Documents shall prevent any of the parties hereto and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors from disclosing to any and all Persons the tax treatment
and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.10. USA Patriot Act. Each Bank that is subject to
the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001))
(the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank or the Agent, as
applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. 
 SECTION 9.11. Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be signed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by email or facsimile transmission shall
be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then
such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this
Agreement in any jurisdiction.

	U.S. $[            ]		            , 20    

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, NEXPOINT CAPITAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”),
hereby promises to pay to [INSERT NAME OF BANK] (the “Bank”) at the head office of the Agent (as defined below) at Copley Place Tower 2, Boston, Massachusetts 02116: 

(a) on the Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below) the principal amount of [INSERT
COMMITMENT AMOUNT] (U.S. $        ) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Loans advanced by the Bank to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2015 (as
amended and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Bank, other banks parties thereto and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as agent (the “Agent”); 

(b) the principal outstanding hereunder from time to time at the times provided in the Credit Agreement; and 

(c) interest on the principal balance hereof from time to time outstanding from the Effective Date (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) through and including the Termination Date at the times and at the rates provided in the Credit Agreement. 
 This Note evidences
borrowings under and has been issued by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Bank and any permitted holder hereof are entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and may enforce
the agreements of the Borrower contained therein, and any permitted holder hereof may exercise the respective remedies provided for thereby or otherwise available in respect thereof, all in accordance with the respective terms thereof. All
capitalized terms used in this Note and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings herein as in the Credit Agreement. 
 The
Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Bank to make or cause to be made, at or about the date of any Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal of this Note, an appropriate notation on the grid attached to this Note, or the continuation
of such grid, or any other similar record, including computer records, reflecting the making of such Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Loans set forth on the grid attached to this Note, or the
continuation of such grid, or any other similar record, including computer records, maintained by the Bank with respect to any Loans shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid
to the Bank, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on any such grid, continuation or other record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Credit Agreement to make
payments of principal of and interest on this Note when due. 
 The Borrower has the right in certain circumstances and the obligation under
certain other circumstances to prepay the whole or part of the principal of this Note on the terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement. 

  
 EXHIBIT A – FORM OF
NOTE 








 If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, the entire unpaid
principal amount of this Note and all of the unpaid interest accrued thereon may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Credit Agreement. 

No delay or omission on the part of the Bank or any holder hereof in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or
of any other rights of the Bank or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on any further occasion. 

The Borrower and every endorser and guarantor of this Note or the obligation represented hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest
and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note, and assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution,
exchange or release of collateral and to the addition or release of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable. 

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN OR IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AND
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF SECTION 9.06 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. 
 THIS NOTE AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE
BORROWER HEREUNDER SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW). THE BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE
ENFORCEMENT OF THIS NOTE MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN AND CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT AND THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON THE
BORROWER BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 9.01 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT BROUGHT IN SUFFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS OR ANY SUCH COURT
SITTING IN SUFFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT. NOTHING IN THIS NOTE SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE BANK MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS NOTE AGAINST THE BORROWER
OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
