 SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT 
 NF Investment Corp. 
 c/o State Street Bank & Trust Co. 

One Lincoln Street 
 Boston, MA 02111 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 1.
Subscription. 
 (a) The undersigned (the “Investor”) subscribes for and agrees to purchase shares of common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, (“Shares”) in NF Investment Corp. (“NF Investment Corp.” or the “Company”) with a capital commitment (“Capital Commitment”) in the amount set forth on the signature page
below. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that this subscription (i) is irrevocable on the part of the Investor, (ii) is conditioned upon acceptance by or on behalf of the Company, and (iii) may be accepted or rejected in whole or
in part by the Company in its sole discretion. The Investor agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Company’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, as amended, restated and/or supplemented from time to time (the
“Memorandum”), the Company’s Bylaws, attached hereto as Appendix A, as amended from time to time (the “Bylaws”), the Company’s Charter, attached hereto as Appendix B, as amended from time to time (the
“Charter”), the Investment Advisory Agreement with Carlyle GMS Investment Management L.L.C., our investment adviser (the “Adviser”), attached hereto as Appendix C, as amended from time to time (the “Advisory
Agreement”), the Administration Agreement between the Company and Carlyle GMS Finance Administration L.L.C., our administrator (the “Administrator”), attached hereto as Appendix D, as amended from time to time (the
“Administration Agreement,” and together with the Memorandum, the Bylaws, the Charter and the Advisory Agreement, the “Operative Documents”), together with this Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”).
Capitalized terms not defined herein are used as defined in the Memorandum. The Company expects to enter into separate Subscription Agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements,” and, together with this Subscription Agreement, the
“Subscription Agreements”) with other investors (the “Other Investors,” and together with the Investor, the “Investors”), providing for the sale of Shares to the Other Investors. This Subscription Agreement and the
Other Subscription Agreements are separate agreements, and the sales of Shares to the undersigned and the Other Investors are separate sales. 
 (b) The Investor agrees to purchase Shares for an aggregate purchase price equal to its Capital Commitment, payable at such times and in such amounts as required by the Company, under the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth herein. On each Capital Drawdown Date (as defined below), the Investor agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company agrees to issue to the Investor, a number of Shares equal to the Drawdown Share Amount
(as defined below) at an aggregate price equal to the Drawdown Purchase Price (as defined below); provided, however, that in no circumstance will an Investor be required to purchase Shares for an amount in excess of its Unused Capital
Commitment (as defined below). 

  
 1 










			
		 	Copy No.:        
		 	For the Exclusive Use of:        


 

 “Drawdown Purchase Price” shall mean, for each Capital Drawdown Date, an amount in U.S.
dollars determined by multiplying (i) the aggregate amount of Capital Commitments being drawn down by the Company from all Investors on that Capital Drawdown Date, by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Unused Capital Commitment
of the Investor and the denominator of which is the aggregate Unused Capital Commitments of all Investors that are not Defaulting Investors or Excluded Investors (as defined below). 
 “Drawdown Share Amount” shall mean, for each Capital Drawdown Date, a number of Shares determined by dividing (i) the Drawdown Purchase Price for that Capital Drawdown Date by (ii) the
applicable Per Share Price (as defined below), with the resulting quotient adjusted to the nearest whole number to avoid the issuance of fractional shares. 
 “Per Share NAV” shall mean, for any Capital Drawdown Date or Catch-Up Date (as defined below), the net asset value per Share, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (including
any committee of the Board, the “Board”), as of the end of the most recent calendar quarter prior to the date of the Funding Notice (as defined below). 
 “Per Share Price” shall mean, for any Capital Drawdown Date or Catch-Up Date (as defined below), the Per Share NAV; provided, that the Per Share Price shall be subject to the limitations
of Section 23 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”); provided further, however, in the event that the Per Share NAV is less than zero as of the first Capital Drawdown Date that occurs immediately
following the Initial Closing Date (as defined below), then solely for the purpose of such Capital Drawdown Date, the Per Share Price shall be deemed to equal $20.00. 
 “Unused Capital Commitment” shall mean, with respect to an Investor, the amount of such Investor’s Capital Commitment as of any date reduced by the aggregate amount of contributions made by
that Investor at all previous Capital Drawdown Dates and any Catch-Up Date pursuant to Section 1(b) and Section 2(c), respectively. 
 2. Closings. 
 (a) The initial closing of this
Subscription Agreement will take place on such date as determined by the Company at the offices of the Adviser, 520 Madison Avenue, 38th Floor, New York, New York (such date being the “Initial Closing Date,” and the date on which each subsequent
closing occurs, a “Subsequent Closing Date”, and each Subsequent Closing Date with the Initial Closing Date shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date”). 

(b) The Investor agrees to provide any information reasonably requested by the Company to verify the accuracy of the representations
contained herein, including without limitation the investor questionnaire (the “Investor Questionnaire”). Promptly after the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to the Investor or its representative, if the Investor’s subscription
has been accepted, a letter confirming the Company’s acceptance of the Investor’s subscription. 
 (c) The Company may
enter into Other Subscription Agreements with Other Investors on a Subsequent Closing Date and any Other Investor whose subscription has been accepted at such Subsequent Closing Date referred to as a “Subsequent Investor.”

 Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1(b) and 3, on one or more dates to be determined by the
Company that occur on or following the Subsequent Closing Date but no later than the next succeeding Capital Drawdown Date (each, a “Catch-Up Date”), each Subsequent Investor shall be required to purchase from the Company a number of
Shares with an aggregate purchase price necessary to ensure that, upon payment of the aggregate purchase price for such Shares by the Subsequent Investor in the aggregate for all Catch-Up Dates, such Subsequent Investor’s Invested Percentage
(as defined below) shall be equal to the Invested Percentage of all prior Investors (other than any Defaulting Investors or Excluded Investors) (the “Catch-Up Purchase Price”). Upon payment of the Catch-Up Purchase Price by the Investor on
a Catch-Up Date and payment by Other Investors of the requisite amount, the Company shall issue to each such Subsequent Investor a number of Shares determined by dividing (x) the Catch-Up Purchase Price for such Subsequent Investor minus
the Organizational Expense Allocation (as defined below) by (y) the Per Share Price for such Subsequent Investor as of a Catch-Up Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Catch-Up Date and a Capital Drawdown Date occur on the
same calendar day, such Catch-Up Date (and the application of the provisions of this Section 2(c)) shall be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to the relevant Capital Drawdown Date. 

“Invested Percentage” means, with respect to an Investor, the quotient determined by dividing (i) the aggregate amount of contributions
made by such Investor pursuant to Section 1(b) and this Section 2(c) by (ii) such Investor’s Capital Commitment. 

“Organizational Expense Allocation” means, with respect to an Investor, the product obtained by multiplying (i) a fraction, the numerator
of which is such Investor’s Capital Commitment and the denominator of which is the total Capital Commitments received by the Company to date by (ii) the lesser of (a) a dollar amount equal to seven hundred fifty thousand dollars
($750,000) or (b) the total amount of organizational expenses spent by the Company in connection with the Company’s formation. 
 (d) At each Capital Drawdown Date following any Subsequent Closing Date, all Investors, including Subsequent Investors, shall purchase Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(b);
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the definitions of Drawdown Share Amount and Per Share Price and the provisions of Section 3(b), nothing in this Subscription Agreement shall prohibit the Company from issuing Shares
to Subsequent Investors whose subscriptions are accepted after the Closing Date at a Per Share Price greater than the Per Share NAV at the time of issuance. 
 (e) In the event that any Investor is permitted by the Company to make an additional capital commitment to purchase Shares on a date after its initial subscription has been accepted, such Investor will be
required to enter into a separate Subscription Agreement with the Company, it being understood and agreed that such separate Subscription Agreement will be considered to be an Other Subscription Agreement for the purposes of this Subscription
Agreement.

 3. Capital Drawdowns. 

(a) Subject to Section 3(f), purchases of Shares will take place on dates selected by the Company in its sole discretion (each, a
“Capital Drawdown Date”) and shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(b). 
 (b) The Company
shall deliver to the Investor, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to each Capital Drawdown Date, a notice (a “Funding Notice”) setting forth (i) the Capital Drawdown Date, (ii) the nature of the proposed investment(s) for
which capital is being drawn down, (iii) the aggregate number of Shares to be sold to all Investors on the Capital Drawdown Date and the aggregate purchase price for such Shares, (iv) the applicable Drawdown Share Amount, Drawdown Purchase
Price and Per Share Price and (v) the account to which the Drawdown Purchase Price should be wired. For the purposes of this Subscription Agreement, the term “Business Day” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Rule 14d-1(g)(3)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). 
 (c) The delivery of a Funding Notice to the
Investor shall be the sole and exclusive condition to the Investor’s obligation to pay the Drawdown Share Purchase Price identified in each Funding Notice, and shall represent the Company’s acceptance of the Investor’s irrevocable and
ongoing offer to purchase Shares. 
 (d) On each Capital Drawdown Date, the Investor shall pay the Drawdown Purchase Price to
the Company by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to the account specified in the Funding Notice. 
 (e) State Street Bank and Trust Company will act as transfer agent and registrar for the Shares (the “Transfer Agent”), unless and until, either the Company or the Transfer Agent decides to
terminate the agreement between the parties. 
 (f) Upon the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the Initial Closing Date or the
completion of an initial public offering by Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc. that results in an unaffiliated public float of at least 15% of its aggregate capital commitments (the period ending on such date being the “Commitment Period”), any
Unused Capital Commitment (other than any Defaulted Commitment (as defined below)) shall automatically be reduced to zero, except to the extent necessary to pay amounts due under Funding Notices that the Company may thereafter issue to: (a) pay
Company expenses, including management fees, any amounts that may become due under any borrowings or other financings or similar obligations and any other liabilities, contingent or otherwise, in each case to the extent they relate to the Commitment
Period, (b) complete investments in any transactions for which there are binding written agreements as of the end of the Commitment Period (including investments that are funded in phases), (c) fund obligations under any Company guarantee
or indemnity made during the Commitment Period and (d) fulfill obligations with respect to any Defaulted Commitment. 
 (g)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall have the right (a “Limited Exclusion Right”) to exclude any Investor (such Investor, an “Excluded Investor”) from purchasing
Shares from the Company on any Capital Drawdown date if, in the reasonable discretion of the Company, there is a substantial 

  
 4 










			
		 	Copy No.:        
		 	For the Exclusive Use of:        


 

 
likelihood that such Investor’s purchase of Shares at such time would (i) result in a violation of, or noncompliance with, any law or regulation to which such Investor, the Company, the
Adviser, any Other Investor or a portfolio company would be subject or (ii) cause the investments of “Benefit Plan Investors” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended (“ERISA”) and certain Department of Labor regulations) to be significant and the assets of the Company to be considered “plan assets” under ERISA or Section 4975 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”). 
 4. Pledging. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor specifically
agrees and consents that the Company may, at any time, and without further notice to or consent from the Investor (except to the extent otherwise provided in this Subscription Agreement), grant security over and, in connection therewith, Transfer
(as defined in Section 8(d)) its right to draw down capital from the Investor pursuant to Section 3, and the Company’s right to receive the Drawdown Share Purchase Price (and any related rights of the Company), to lenders or other
creditors of the Company, in connection with any indebtedness, guarantee or surety of the Company; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such grantee’s right to draw down capital shall be subject to the limitations on the
Company’s right to draw down capital pursuant to Section 3. 
 5. Dividends. As described more fully in the
Memorandum, the Company generally intends to distribute, out of assets legally available for distribution, substantially all of its available earnings, on a quarterly basis, subject to the discretion of the Board. The Company intends to make
distributions in cash. 
 6. Remedies Upon Investor Capital Drawdown Default. In the event that an Investor fails to pay
all or any portion of the purchase price due from such Investor on any Capital Drawdown Date (such amount, together with the full amount of such Investor’s remaining Capital Commitment, a “Defaulted Commitment”) and such default
remains uncured for a period of ten (10) Business Days, the Company shall be permitted to declare such Investor to be in default of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement (any such Investor, a “Defaulting Investor”) and
shall be permitted to pursue one or any combination of the following remedies: 
 (a) The Company may prohibit the Defaulting
Investor from purchasing additional Shares on any future Capital Drawdown Date or otherwise participating in any future investments in the Company; 
 (b) Fifty percent (50%) of the Shares then held by the Defaulting Investor shall be automatically transferred on the books of the Company, without any further action being required on the part of the
Company or the Defaulting Investor, to the Other Investors (other than any defaulting Other Investor), pro rata in accordance with their respective Capital Commitments; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Subscription Agreement, no Shares shall be transferred to any Other Investor pursuant to this Section 6(b) in the event that such Transfer (as defined in Section 8(d)) would (x) violate the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “1933 Act”), 1940 Act or any state (or other jurisdiction) securities or “Blue Sky” laws applicable to the Company or such Transfer (as defined in Section 8(d)), (y) constitute a non-exempt “prohibited
transaction” under Section 406 

  
 5 










			
		 	Copy No.:        
		 	For the Exclusive Use of:        


 

 
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (z) cause all or any portion of the assets of the Company to constitute “plan assets” under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (it
being understood that this proviso shall operate only to extent necessary to avoid the occurrence of the consequences contemplated herein and shall not prevent the Investor from receiving a partial allocation of its pro rata portion of Shares);
provided further, that any Shares that have not been transferred to one or more Other Investors pursuant to the previous proviso shall be allocated among the participating Other Investors pro rata in accordance with their respective
Capital Commitments. The mechanism described in this Section 6(b) is intended to operate as a liquidated damage provision, since the damage to the Company and Other Investors resulting from a default by the Defaulting Investor is both
significant and not easily susceptible to precise quantification. By entry into this Subscription Agreement, the Investor agrees to this Transfer (as defined in Section 8(d)) and acknowledges that it constitutes a reasonable liquidated damage
remedy for any default in the Investor’s obligation of the type described; and 
 (c) The Company may pursue any other
remedies against the Defaulting Investor available to the Company, subject to applicable law. The Investor agrees that this Section 6 is solely for the benefit of the Company and shall be interpreted by the Company against a Defaulting Investor
in the discretion of the Company. The Investor further agrees that the Investor cannot and will not seek to enforce this Section 6 against the Company or any other investor in the Company. 

7. [Reserved.] 

8. Representations and Warranties of the Investor. To induce the Company to accept this subscription, the Investor represents and
warrants as follows: 
 (a) This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Investor and,
upon due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, will constitute the valid and legally binding agreement of the Investor enforceable in accordance with its terms against the Investor, except as such enforceability may be limited by
(i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies, as from time to time in effect;
(ii) application of equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) considerations of public policy or the effect of applicable law relating to fiduciary duties.

 (b) The Shares to be acquired hereunder are being acquired by the Investor for the Investor’s own account for investment
purposes only and not with a view to resale or distribution. 
 (c) The Investor understands that the Company intends to file
elections to be treated as (i) a business development company under the 1940 Act and (ii) a regulated investment company within the meaning of Section 851 of the Code, for U.S. federal income tax purposes; pursuant to those elections,
the Investor will be required to furnish certain information to the Company as required under Treasury Regulations § 1.852-6(a) and other regulations. If the Investor is unable or refuses to provide such information directly to the Company, the
Investor understands that it will be required to include additional information on its income tax return as 

  
 6 










			
		 	Copy No.:        
		 	For the Exclusive Use of:        


 

 
provided in Treasury Regulation § 1.852-7. The Company has filed a registration statement on Form 10 (the “Form 10 Registration Statement”) for its common stock with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the 1934 Act. The Form 10 Registration Statement is not the offering document pursuant to which the Company is conducting this offering and may not include all information regarding the
Company contained in this Memorandum; accordingly, Investors should rely exclusively on information contained in the Operative Documents in making their investment decisions. 
 (d) (i) The Investor understands that the offering and sale of the Shares are intended to be exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, applicable U.S. state securities laws and the laws of any non-U.S.
jurisdictions by virtue of the private placement exemption from registration provided in Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, exemptions under applicable U.S. state securities laws and exemptions under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdictions, and it
agrees that any Shares acquired by the Investor may not be sold, offered for sale, exchanged, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of (each, a “Transfer”) in any manner that would require the Company to
register the Shares under the 1933 Act, under any U.S. state securities laws or under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Investor understands that the Company requires each investor in the Company to be an “accredited investor” as
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the 1933 Act (“Accredited Investor”) and the Investor represents and warrants that it is an Accredited Investor. 

(ii) The Investor understands that the offering and sale of the Shares in non-U.S. jurisdictions may be subject to
additional restrictions and limitations, and represents and warrants that it is acquiring its Shares in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and other legal requirements applicable to the Investor including, without limitation,
the legal requirements of jurisdictions in which the Investor is resident and in which such acquisition is being consummated. Furthermore, the Investor understands that all offerings and sales made outside of the United States will be made pursuant
to Regulation S under the 1933 Act. 
 (e) (i) The Investor may not Transfer its Capital Commitment or any of its Shares unless
(a) the Company provides its prior written consent, (b) the Transfer is made in accordance with applicable securities laws and (c) the Transfer is otherwise in compliance with the transfer restrictions set forth in Appendix E. No
Transfer will be effectuated except by registration of the Transfer on the Company books. Each transferee must agree to be bound by these restrictions and all other obligations as an investor in the Company. 

(ii) The Investor acknowledges that the Investor is aware and understands that there are other substantial restrictions on
the transferability of Shares or Capital Commitment under this Subscription Agreement, the Operative Documents and under applicable law including, but not limited to, the fact that (a) there is no established market for the Shares and it is
possible that no public market for the Shares will develop; (b) the Shares are not currently, and Investors have no rights to require that the Shares be, registered under the 1933 Act or the securities laws of the various states or any non-U.S.
jurisdiction and therefore cannot be Transferred unless subsequently registered or unless an exemption from such registration is available; and (c) the Investor may have to hold the Shares herein subscribed for and bear the economic risk of
this investment indefinitely, and it may not be possible for the Investor to liquidate its investment in the Company.

 (f) [Reserved.] 

(g) The Investor has been furnished and has carefully read this Subscription Agreement, each Operative Document, in each case as amended,
restated and/or supplemented through the closing date of the Investor’s subscription for Shares, a current copy of the Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures of the Adviser and, to the extent the Investor is a natural person, a current copy of
the NF Investment Corp. Privacy Notice. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, is able to bear the risks of an investment
in the Shares and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, a purchase of Shares, including the matters set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Memorandum. 

(h) To the full satisfaction of the Investor, the Investor has been furnished any materials the Investor has requested relating to the
Company, the offering of Shares or any statement made in the Memorandum, and the Investor has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain any
additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of any representations or information set forth in the Memorandum. 

(i) Other than as set forth in this Subscription Agreement, the Operative Documents and any separate agreement in writing with the
Company executed in conjunction with the Investor’s subscription for Shares, the Investor is not relying upon any other information (including, without limitation, any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine, website or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, and any seminars or meetings whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or advertising), representation or warranty by the Company, its Adviser
or any affiliate of the foregoing or any agent of them, written or otherwise, in determining to invest in the Company and the Investor understands that the Memorandum is not intended to convey tax or legal advice. The Investor has consulted to the
extent deemed appropriate by the Investor with the Investor’s own advisers as to the financial, tax, legal, accounting, regulatory and related matters concerning an investment in Shares and on that basis understands the financial, tax, legal,
accounting, regulatory and related consequences of an investment in Shares, and believes that an investment in the Shares is suitable and appropriate for the Investor. 
 (j) If the Investor is not a natural person, (i) the Investor was not formed or recapitalized for the specific purpose of acquiring any Shares in the Company, (ii) the Investor has the power and
authority to enter into this Subscription Agreement and each other document required to be executed and delivered by the Investor in connection with this subscription for Shares, and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and (iii) the person signing this Subscription Agreement on behalf of the Investor has been duly authorized to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and each other document required to
be executed and delivered by the Investor in connection with this subscription for Shares. If the Investor is a natural person, the Investor has all requisite legal capacity to acquire and hold the Shares and to execute, deliver and comply

with the terms of the Plan’s governing instruments and complies with all applicable requirements of ERISA, the Code and all applicable Other Plan Laws and does not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code or a similar violation under any applicable Other Plan Laws; and (4) the Plan Fiduciary acknowledges and agrees that neither the Adviser nor any of its employees, representatives or affiliates will be a fiduciary with respect to the
Plan as a result of the Plan’s investment in the Company, pursuant to the provisions of ERISA or any applicable Other Plan Laws, or otherwise, and the Plan Fiduciary has not relied on, and is not relying on, the investment advice of any such

Company, in its sole discretion, determines that so doing would be useful in ensuring that equity participation in the Company is not significant within the meaning of 29 CFR 2510.3-101(f), the Company may require any Benefit Plan Investor to
transfer some or all of its common stock for fair market

Company in writing. 
 (v) The Investor understands and agrees that the Company may not accept any amounts from a
prospective Investor if such prospective Investor cannot make the representations set forth in this Section 8(s). 
 (t) In
the event that the Investor is, receives deposits from, makes payments to or conducts transactions relating to, a non-U.S. banking institution (a “Non-U.S. Bank”) in connection with the Investor’s investment in Shares, such Non-U.S.
Bank: (i) has a fixed address, other than an electronic address or a post office box, in a country in which it is authorized to conduct banking activities, (ii) employs one or more individuals on a full-time basis, (iii) maintains
operating records related to its banking activities, (iv) is subject to inspection by the banking authority that licensed it to conduct banking activities and (v) does not provide banking services to any other Non-U.S. Bank that does not

its sole discretion that such action is in the best interests of the Company, the Company may “freeze the account” of the Investor, either by prohibiting additional investments by the Investor, segregating assets of the Investor and/or
suspending other rights the Investor may have under the Operative Documents and (B) the Company may be required to report such action or confidential information relating to the Investor (including without limitation, disclosing the

required under FATCA, the Investor’s direct and indirect beneficial owners (if any), relating to or establishing any such owner’s identity, residence (or jurisdiction of formation), income tax status, and other required
information and may provide or disclose such information and documentation to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The Investor agrees that it shall provide such information and documentation concerning itself and its beneficial owners, if any, as and

option and in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, prohibit additional investments, decline or delay any redemption requests by the Investor and/or deduct from such Investor’s account and retain amounts sufficient to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company from any and all withholding taxes, interest, penalties and other losses or liabilities suffered by the Company on account of the Investor’s not providing all requested information and documentation in a
timely manner. The Investor shall have no claim against the Company, the Administrator, the Adviser or any of their respective affiliates for any form of damages or liability as a result of any of the aforementioned actions. 

(v) The Investor acknowledges that the Company intends to enter into one or more revolving credit facilities with one or more syndicates

materially violated the Code of Conduct with respect to such Government Plan and such material violation has not been cured (to the extent curable) within 60 calendar days after such finding or admission, then such Government Plan shall be excused
from its obligation to purchase additional Shares from the Company in connection with any Funding Notice, provided that, within seven calendar days after such Government Plan has received such Funding Notice, such Government Plan shall have notified

owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity, - The U.S. grantor or other owner of a grantor trust and not the trust, and - The U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust. Foreign person. If you are a foreign
person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities). Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual
may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from
tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes. If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an
exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items: 1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a
nonresident alien. 2. The treaty article addressing the income. 3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions. 4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax. 5.
Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article. Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present
in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the US-China treaty (dated April 30,
1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying
on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption. If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign
entity not subject to backup withholding, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8. What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS a percentage of such
payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that maybe subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, and certain
payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding. You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications,
and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return. Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if: 1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester, 2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the Part II
instructions on page 3 for details), 3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN, 4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return
(for reportable interest and dividends only), or 5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only). Certain payees and payments
are exempt from backup withholding. Seethe instructions below and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9. Also see Special rules for partnerships on page 1. Updating Your Information You must provide updated information to any
person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation
that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or Tl N changes for the account, for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies. Penalties Failure to furnish TIN.
If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. Civil penalty for false information with respect to
withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty. Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may
subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment. Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties. Specific Instructions Name If
you are an individual, you must generally enter the name shown on your income tax return. However, if you have changed your last name, for instance, due to marriage without informing the Social Security Administration of the name change, enter your
