#### EXPLANATORY NOTE
Kennedy Lewis Capital Company is filing this registration statement on Form 10 (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), on a voluntary basis to permit it to file an election to be regulated as a business development company (a "BDC"), under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), to provide current public information to the investment community and to comply with applicable requirements for possible future quotations or listing of its securities on a national securities exchange or other public trading market.

Unless indicated otherwise in this Registration Statement or the context requires otherwise, the terms:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "We," "us," "our" and the "Company" refer to Kennedy Lewis Capital Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Kennedy Lewis Capital Holdings" refers to Kennedy Lewis Capital Holdings LLC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Advisor" refers to Kennedy Lewis Capital Holdings; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Kennedy Lewis" refers to Kennedy Lewis Management, together with Kennedy Lewis Capital Holdings and its affiliates.

The Company is an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "<u>JOBS Act</u>"). As a result, the Company is eligible to take advantage of certain reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies including, but not limited to, not being subject to the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. See "*Item 1. Business – JOBS Act.*"

Upon the effective date of this Registration Statement, we will be subject to the requirements of Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act, including the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act, which will require us to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K. We will also be required to comply with the proxy rules in Section 14 of the Exchange Act and all other obligations of the Exchange Act applicable to issuers filing registration statements pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. The SEC maintains a website (http://www.sec.gov) that contains the reports mentioned in this section.

**Investing in our common shares of beneficial interest (the "Common Shares") may be considered speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the following:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An investment in our Common Shares is not suitable for you if you might need access to the money you invest in the foreseeable future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If you are unable to sell your Common Shares, you will be unable to reduce your exposure on any market downturn.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our Common Shares are not currently listed on an exchange and given that we have no current intention of pursuing any such listing, it is unlikely that a secondary trading market will develop for our Common Shares. The purchase of our Common Shares is intended to be a long-term investment. We do not intend to list our Common Shares on a national securities exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our distributions may be funded from unlimited amounts of offering proceeds or borrowings, which may constitute a return of capital (i.e., a distribution funded solely by investors' subscription amounts) and reduce the amount of capital available to us for investment. Any capital returned to you through distributions will be distributed after payment of fees and expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Repurchases of Common Shares by the Company, if any, are expected to be very limited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Investment in the Company is suitable only for sophisticated investors and requires the financial ability and willingness to accept the high risks and lack of liquidity inherent in an investment in the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company intends to invest primarily in privately-held companies for which very little public information exists. Such companies are also generally more vulnerable to economic downturns and may experience substantial variations in operating results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The privately-held companies and below-investment-grade securities in which the Company will invest will be difficult to value and are illiquid.

1<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act, which imposes numerous restrictions on the activities of the Company, including restrictions on leverage and on the nature of its investments.

These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may be incorrect, and we cannot assure you that the projections included in these forward-looking statements will come to pass. Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the factors discussed in Item 1A entitled "Risk Factors" in Part I of this Registration Statement and elsewhere in this Registration Statement. Other factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially include, but are not limited to, changes in political, economic or industry conditions, the interest rate environment or conditions affecting the financial and capital markets, including with respect to changes from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine; risks associated with possible disruption due to terrorism in our operations or the economy generally; and future changes in laws or regulations and conditions in our operating areas.*

*We have based the forward-looking statements included in this Registration Statement on information available to us on the date of this Registration Statement, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements, unless we are required to do so by applicable law. However, you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the SEC, including subsequent amendments to this Registration Statement, annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.*

#### Summary of Risk Factors
*An investment in the Common Shares involves significant risks. The risk factors described below are a summary of the principal risk factors associated with an investment in the Common Shares. These are not the only risks the Company faces. This summary should be read closely together with the risk factors set forth below in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of this Registration Statement and other reports and documents the Company files with the SEC.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company is a new company with no operating history.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The privately-held companies and below-investment-grade securities in which the Company will invest will be difficult to value and are illiquid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Defaults by portfolio companies will harm the Company's operating results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Investment in the Company is suitable only for sophisticated investors and requires the financial ability and willingness to accept the high risks and lack of liquidity inherent in an investment in the Company.

#### The Company
Kennedy Lewis Capital Company, a Delaware statutory trust (the "Company"), has been established to invest primarily in debt or other debt-like securities across the capital structure of middle market companies located in the United States and, selectively, in other North American countries and in Europe, with the ability to consider investments focused on other geographic markets. We generally define middle market companies as those having enterprise values between $300 million and $3 billion. The Company's investment objectives are to maximize the total return to its holders of Common Shares (each a "shareholder") in the form of current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation. The Company will employ a strategy to provide capital to middle market companies, with a focus on direct originations in private, first lien, senior secured, performing credits. The Company expects to generate returns primarily from interest income and fees from senior secured loans, with some capital appreciation through nominal equity co-investments.

The Company is externally managed by Kennedy Lewis Capital Holdings LLC ("Kennedy Lewis Capital Holdings," in such capacity, the "Advisor"), a Delaware limited liability company that is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act") pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Company and the Advisor (as amended, the "Advisory Agreement"). Kennedy Lewis Management LP ("Kennedy Lewis Management," and together with Kennedy Lewis Capital Holdings and its affiliates, "Kennedy Lewis") is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. Kennedy Lewis Capital Holdings has entered into a resource sharing agreement ("Resource Sharing Agreement") with Kennedy Lewis Management, pursuant to which Kennedy Lewis Management makes certain personnel and resources available to Kennedy Lewis Capital Holdings to provide certain investment advisory services to the Company. Kennedy Lewis Management serves as the Company's administrator (in such capacity, the "Administrator") pursuant to an administration agreement (the "Administration Agreement"). The Administrator may retain a sub-administrator to perform any or all of its obligations under the Administration Agreement.

The Company is a Delaware statutory trust structured as an externally managed, diversified closed-end management investment company. The Company has elected to be treated as a business development company (a "BDC") under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). In addition, the Company intends to elect to be treated as a regulated investment company (a "RIC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

Subject to the supervision of the Company's Board of Trustees (the "Board"), a majority of which constitutes trustees who are not "interested persons" as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustees"), the Advisor manages the Company's day-to-day operations and provides the Company with investment advisory and management services. Trustees who are "interested persons" as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act are referred to herein as "Interested Trustees."

#### The Investment Team and Kennedy Lewis
Kennedy Lewis is an established credit manager with offices in New York and Miami. Kennedy Lewis was founded in 2017 by David Kennedy Chene and Darren Lewis Richman.

Chene and Richman have nearly 50 years of combined investment management experience across various economic cycles, asset classes, industries and geographies. Messrs. Chene and Richman's complementary skillsets and prior experience working together at DiMaio Ahmad Capital help to ensure their harmonious relationship and provide the foundation for Kennedy Lewis's collegial culture.

Doug Logigian, the President of Kennedy Lewis, is a Co-Managing Partner alongside Messrs. Chene and Richman (collectively the "Co-Managing Partners").

James Didden, as President of the Company, is responsible for overseeing its distribution and operations. Mr. Didden was an original Partner of GSO Capital Partners and was involved in the formation of GSO's private lending business. He subsequently became a Senior Managing Director at Blackstone upon its acquisition of GSO in 2008. At Blackstone, Mr. Didden worked directly with Messrs. Richman and Logigian as well as other members of the Investment Team (defined below).

The Co-Managing Partners and Mr. Didden are joined by a dynamic and seasoned senior investment team comprised of four Partners and five Managing Directors who have institutional pedigrees, substantial sector and credit investing expertise, and experience working together both at Kennedy Lewis and prior to Kennedy Lewis' formation. This senior investment team is supported by twenty-two additional investment professionals (collectively with the Co-Managing Partners and the senior investment team, the "Investment Team") as well as twenty-four business management and business development professionals. The Investment Team shares a disciplined approach to originating, executing upon, and monetizing investments.

Kennedy Lewis believes the Company will benefit from the firm's Collateralized Loan Obligation ("CLO") business, which targets par loans with attractive risk-return profiles. Access to the capabilities, industry insights, and credit coverage of Kennedy Lewis' thirteen CLO professionals, including ten investment and three operational professionals, is expected to enhance the Company's investment strategy as well as further strengthen and differentiate the Investment Team's sourcing through additional access to the bank loan market. Access to Kennedy Lewis' CLO professionals and platform:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expands the Advisor's credit and industry research coverage;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increases the Advisor's relevance to The Street;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provides the Advisor with additional access to a range of credits and industry insights that can serve as early warning signs of distress; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Strengthens and differentiates the Advisor's sourcing capabilities through additional access to the bank loan market which the Company is expected to invest in.

#### The Private Offering
We are offering on a continuous basis our Common Shares (the "Private Offering"), pursuant to the terms set forth in subscription agreements that we will enter into with investors in connection with the Private Offering (each, a "Subscription Agreement"). Although the Common Shares in the Private Offering are being sold under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") only to investors that are "accredited investors" in accordance with Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and other exemptions of similar import in the laws of the states and jurisdictions where the offering will be made, there can be no assurance that we will not need to suspend our continuous offering for various reasons, including but not limited to regulatory review from the SEC and various state regulators, to the extent applicable.

The Company seeks to raise equity capital through private placements on a continuous basis through one or more closings ("Closings") at which the Company will accept funds from investors in connection with such investors' purchases of Common Shares (each such agreement, a "Subscription Agreement," the first such Closing the "Initial Closing" and each subsequent closing a "Subsequent Closing"). The Initial Closing is expected to occur during the first quarter of 2023 (the "Initial Closing Date"). Each Subsequent Closing will generally occur on a monthly basis on the last calendar day of the month or on a date as determined by the Company or the Advisor in its sole discretion.

Each investor is required to fully fund its subscription amount by wire to the Company's bank account on or before the last business day of the month of its respective Closing. Any shareholder that seeks to purchase additional Common Shares will be required to enter into an additional, short form Subscription Agreement with the Company (a "Short Form Subscription Agreement"). For the avoidance of doubt, each shareholder that enters into a Short Form Subscription Agreement will be required to fully fund its additional subscription amount by wire to the Company's bank account on or before the last business day of the month of its respective Closing. The minimum investment for any Subscription Agreement and any Short Form Subscription Agreement is $10,000.

The purchase of our Common Shares is intended to be a long-term investment. We do not intend to list our shares on a national securities exchange, except as noted in "*Item 9. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters – Market Information*."

Beginning no later than the first full calendar quarter after the one-year anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, and at the discretion of the Company, the Company intends to commence a share repurchase program in which it would repurchase, in each quarter, an amount not to exceed 5.0% of its outstanding Common Shares as of the close of the previous calendar quarter; provided, however, that the Advisor, subject to the Board's discretion and approval, shall cause the Company to repurchase Common Shares from the shareholders in an amount at least equal to 10% of the Company's net asset value in respect of the fourth calendar quarter of each of the eighth and tenth calendar years following the Initial Closing Date. The Company may amend, suspend, or terminate the share repurchase program if it deems such action to be in its best interest and the best interest of its shareholders, subject to the Board's discretion and approval. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. The Company intends to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act and the 1940 Act. *See* "*Item 9. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters – Discretionary Repurchase of Shares*."

#### Our Business Strategy

#### Investment Objectives
The Company's investment objectives are to maximize the total return to its shareholders in the form of current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation. The Company seeks to meet its investment objectives by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• utilizing the experience and expertise of Kennedy Lewis, along with its broader resources, network of relationships (including founders, management teams, minority equity owners, portfolio companies, banks, prior financing relationships, etc.), and human capital, including its capabilities as it relates to sourcing, evaluating, and structuring transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• employing a defensive investment approach focused on long-term credit performance and principal protection;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• focusing on investing primarily in debt or other debt-like securities across the capital structure of middle market companies located in the United States and, selectively, in other North American countries and in Europe, with the ability to consider investments focused on other geographic markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• investing primarily in established, stable, enterprises with positive cash flow, strong competitive positioning in their industries, experienced management teams, and diverse customer and supplier bases; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintaining rigorous portfolio monitoring in an attempt to anticipate and pre-empt negative credit events within the Company's portfolio.

To realize its investment objectives, the Company will leverage the team's experience investing across cycles, geographies, and a range of industries where it has expertise to generally self-originate senior secured loans sourced through its network of relationships, including founders, management teams, minority equity owners, portfolio companies, banks and prior financing relationships. As part of the opportunistic credit strategy that Kennedy Lewis manages through its family of opportunistic private credit funds, Kennedy Lewis regularly sources loans that are appropriate for the Company's investment strategy. These loans are generally first lien instruments in performing companies with return characteristics that the Advisor believes are appropriate for the Company to meet its investment objectives. These are loans that flow from Kennedy Lewis' existing deal origination efforts across a range of industries and corners of the market that exhibit uncorrelated or counter-cyclical characteristics. The Advisor's experienced team has originated and structured private investments in a variety of macro-economic environments to create diverse portfolios of loans that span multiple industries.

In addition to investing in self-originated instruments, the Company will also invest in broadly syndicated senior secured loans. The Company expects to generate returns primarily from interest income, fees and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation, which collectively contribute to the Company's expected total investment return.

Most of the debt instruments the Company will invest in are unrated or rated below investment grade, which is often an indication of size, credit worthiness and speculative nature relative to the capacity of the borrower to pay interest and principal. Generally, if the Company's unrated investments were rated, they would be rated below investment grade. These securities, which are often referred to as "junk" or "high yield", have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal. They may also be difficult to value and are illiquid.

The Advisor also considers environmental, social and governance ("ESG") factors in the investment decision making process, in accordance with the Advisor's ESG policy, including a negative screen for certain industries as well as an analysis of the likelihood of material ESG-related risk based on the industry and industry subsector of the potential portfolio company, with further diligence and analysis based on this categorization as well as other factors identified during diligence.

#### Investment Allocation
Kennedy Lewis provides investment management services to other investment funds and client accounts and will share any investment and sale opportunities with its other clients and the Company in accordance with applicable law, including the Advisers Act, firm-wide allocation policies, and any exemptive order from the SEC permitting co-investment activities (as further described below), which generally provide for sharing eligible investments *pro rata* among the eligible participating funds and accounts, subject to certain allocation factors.

10<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
As a BDC regulated under the 1940 Act, the Company will be subject to certain limitations relating to co-investments and joint transactions with affiliates, which, in certain circumstances, may limit the Company's ability to make investments or enter into other transactions alongside other clients. The Advisor has applied for an exemptive order from the SEC that will permit the Company, among other things, to co-invest with certain other persons, including certain affiliates of the Advisor and certain funds managed and controlled by the Advisor, Kennedy Lewis and its affiliates, subject to certain terms and conditions. There is no assurance that the co-investment exemptive order will be granted by the SEC. Pursuant to such order, the Board may establish Board Criteria clearly defining co-investment opportunities in which the Company will have the opportunity to participate with other public or private Kennedy Lewis funds that target similar assets. If an investment falls within the Board Criteria, Kennedy Lewis must offer an opportunity for the Company to participate. The Company may determine to participate or not to participate, depending on whether the Advisor determines that the investment is appropriate for the Company (*e.g.*, based on investment strategy). The co-investment would generally be allocated to the Company and the other Kennedy Lewis funds that target similar assets *pro rata* based on available capital in the asset class being allocated. If the Advisor determines that such investment is not appropriate for the Company, the investment will not be allocated to us, but the Advisor will be required to report such investment and the rationale for its determination for us to not participate in the investment to the Board at the next quarterly board meeting.

#### Payment of the Company's Expenses
All investment professionals of the Advisor, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory and management services to the Company, and the compensation and routine compensation-related overhead expenses of personnel allocable to these services to the Company, are provided and paid for by the Advisor and not by the Company. The Company will bear all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of its operations and transactions, including, without limitation, those relating to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor for office space rental, office equipment, utilities and other non-compensation related overhead allocable to performance of investment advisory services under the Advisory Agreement by the Advisor, including the costs and expenses of due diligence of potential investments, monitoring performance of the Company's investments, serving as trustees and officers of portfolio companies, providing managerial assistance to portfolio companies, enforcing the Company's rights in respect of its investments and disposing of investments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• organizational and offering expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expenses incurred in valuing the Company's assets and computing its net asset value per share (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firm);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expenses incurred by the Company's administrator or payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisors, in monitoring financial and legal affairs for the Company and in monitoring the Company's investments and performing due diligence on the Company's prospective portfolio companies or otherwise related to, or associated with, evaluating and making investments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• interest payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance the Company's investments and other fees and expenses related to the Company's borrowings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expenses related to unsuccessful portfolio acquisition efforts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• offerings of the Common Shares and other securities (including underwriting, placement agent and similar fees and commissions);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Base Management Fees (as defined below) and Incentive Fees (as defined below);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• third-party investor hosting and similar platforms and service providers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• administration fees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• transfer agent and custody fees and expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• federal and state registration fees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all costs of registration and listing the Company's Common Shares on any securities exchange;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• federal, state and local taxes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Independent Trustees' fees and expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• costs of preparing and filing reports or other documents required by the SEC or other regulators;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to shareholders, including printing costs;

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs associated with individual or group shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company's allocable portion of the fidelity bond, trustees and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• direct costs and expenses of administration and operation, including printing, mailing, long distance telephone, copying, secretarial and other staff, independent auditors, third-party investor hosting and similar platforms and service providers, and outside legal costs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all other expenses incurred by the Company or the Advisor in connection with administering the Company's business, such as the allocable portion of overhead under the Administration Agreement, including rent, and the allocable portion of the cost of the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and their respective staffs.

#### Distributions; Dividend Reinvestment Program
The Company intends to make quarterly distributions to shareholders. Distributions will be made to shareholders at such times and in such amounts as determined by the Board.

In addition, the Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRP"), pursuant to which each shareholder will receive dividends in the form of additional Common Shares unless they notify the Company that they instead desire to receive cash or a combination of cash and Common Shares. If a shareholder receives dividends in the form of Common Shares, dividend proceeds that otherwise would have been distributed in cash will be retained by the Company for reinvestment. Shareholders who receive dividends and other distributions in the form of Common Shares generally are subject to the same U.S. federal tax consequences as investors who elect to receive their distributions in cash; however, since their cash dividends will be reinvested, those investors will not receive cash with which to pay any applicable taxes on re-invested dividends. A shareholder may elect to receive dividends and other distributions in cash or a combination of cash and Common Shares by notifying the Company in writing at least 20 business days prior to the distribution date fixed by the Board for such dividend. If such notice is received by the Company less than 20 business days prior to the relevant distribution date, then that dividend will be paid in the form of Common Shares and any subsequent dividends will be paid in cash.

#### Management Agreements
The Advisor serves as the Company's investment adviser and is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. In addition, Kennedy Lewis Management serves as the Company's administrator.

#### Advisory Agreement
Subject to the overall supervision of the Board and in accordance with the 1940 Act, the Advisor manages the Company's day-to-day operations and provides investment advisory services to the Company. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• determines the composition of the Company's portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to its portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments the Company makes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• executes, closes, services and monitors the investments the Company makes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• determines the securities and other assets that the Company purchases, retains or sells;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• performs due diligence on prospective portfolio companies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provides the Company with such other investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of its funds.

Under the Advisory Agreement, the Company will pay the Advisor fees for investment management services consisting of a base management fee (the "Base Management Fee") and an incentive fee (the "Incentive Fee").

*Base Management Fee*

The Company will pay the Advisor a Base Management Fee equal to an annual rate of 1.25% of the average of the Company's net assets, at the end of the two most recently completed quarters. Subsequent to any IPO (as defined below) or Exchange Listing (as defined below), the Company will pay the Advisor a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.25% of the Company's average gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed quarters. The Base Management Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
*Incentive Fee*

The Incentive Fee consists of two components that are independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. A portion of the Incentive Fee is based on a percentage of income and a portion is based on a percentage of capital gains, each as described below.

**Income-Based Incentive Fee. The portion based on the Company's income is based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns. "Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns" means, as the context requires, either the dollar value of, or percentage rate of return on the value of net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter from, interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that are received from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses accrued for the quarter (including the management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement entered into between the Company and the Administrator, and any interest expense or fees on any credit facilities or outstanding debt and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares, but excluding the Incentive Fee and any shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns include, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that has not yet been received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The impact of expense support payments and recoupments are also excluded from Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company's net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter, is compared to a "hurdle rate" of return of 1.25% per quarter (5.0% annualized).**

The Company pays the Advisor an Income Based Incentive Fee quarterly in arrears with respect to the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in each calendar quarter as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• No incentive fee based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in any calendar quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.25% per quarter (5.0% annualized);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 100.0% of the dollar amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate until the Advisor has received 12.5% of the total Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns for that calendar quarter. The Company refers to this portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns (which exceeds the hurdle rate) as the "catch-up." This "catch-up" is meant to provide the Advisor an Incentive Fee of 12.5% on all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns when that amount equals 1.43% in a calendar quarter (5.72% annualized), which is the rate at which the catch-up is achieved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 12.5% of the dollar amount of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceed a rate of return of 1.43%.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
These calculations are prorated for any period of less than three months, including the first quarter the Company commenced operations, and are adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter.

**Capital Gains Incentive Fee. The second part of the Incentive Fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year in an amount equal to 12.5% of cumulative realized capital gains from inception through the end of such calendar, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid Incentive Fee on capital gains as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP (the "Capital Gains Incentive Fee").** 

#### Examples of Quarterly Incentive Fee Calculation

#### Example 1 – Incentive Fee on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns for each quarter

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Scenarios expressed as a percentage of net asset value at the beginning of the quarter**  | **Scenario 1**  | **Scenario 2**  | **Scenario 3** |
| Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns for the quarter  | 1.00%  | 1.35%  | 2.00%  |
| Catch up incentive fee (maximum of 0.18%)  | 0.00%  | -0.10%  | -0.18%  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Split incentive fee (12.50% above 1.43%)  | 0.00%  | 0.00%  | -0.07%  |
| Net Investment income  | 1.00%  | 1.25%  | 1.75% |

---

*Scenario 1 – Incentive Fee on Income* 

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns does not exceed the 1.25% quarterly hurdle rate, therefore there is no catch up or split incentive fee on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns.

*Scenario 2 – Incentive Fee on Income* 

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns falls between the 1.25% quarterly hurdle rate and the upper level breakpoint of 1.43%, therefore the incentive fee on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns is 100% of the Pre-Incentive Fee above the 1.25% quarterly hurdle rate.

*Scenario 3 – Incentive Fee on Income* 

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns exceeds the 1.25% hurdle rate and the 1.43% upper-level breakpoint provision. Therefore, the upper-level breakpoint provision is fully satisfied by the 0.18% of Pre- Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns above the 1.25% hurdle rate and there is a 12.50% incentive fee on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns above the 1.43% upper-level breakpoint. This ultimately provides an incentive fee which represents 12.50% of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns.

In addition, the expense support aspect (but not the conditional reimbursement aspect) of the Expense Support Agreement (as defined below) will no longer be of any force or effect subsequent thereto with respect to the Company.

#### Indemnification
The Advisory Agreement provides that the Advisor and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons and members, and any other person or entity affiliated with it, are entitled to indemnification from the Company for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of the Advisor's services under the Advisory Agreement or otherwise as the Company's investment adviser.

Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount based upon the Company's allocable portion (subject to the review of the Board) of the Administrator's overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions and the Company's allocable portion of the cost of the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and their respective staffs.

#### Indemnification
The Administration Agreement provides that the Administrator, its affiliates and their respective, officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons and members, and any other person or entity affiliated with it, are entitled to indemnification from the Company for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of the Administrator's services under the Administration Agreement or otherwise as the Administrator.

#### Resource Sharing Agreement
The Advisor has entered into a resource sharing agreement (the "Resource Sharing Agreement") with Kennedy Lewis Management, pursuant to which Kennedy Lewis Management makes its investment and portfolio management and monitoring teams available to the Advisor. The Resource Sharing Agreement (i) provides the Company with

15<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
access to deal flow generated by Kennedy Lewis in the ordinary course of its business; and (ii) provides the Company with access to Kennedy Lewis Management's investment professionals and non-investment employees. Subject at all times to any co-investment exemptive relief order and applicable laws and regulations, the Advisor is responsible for determining if the Company will participate in deal flow generated by Kennedy Lewis.

#### License Agreement
The Company has entered into a license agreement with Kennedy Lewis under which Kennedy Lewis has agreed to grant the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name "Kennedy Lewis." Under this agreement, the Company has a right to use the "Kennedy Lewis" name for so long as the Advisor or one of its affiliates remains the Company's investment adviser. Other than with respect to this limited license, the Company has no legal right to the "Kennedy Lewis" name. This license agreement will remain in effect for so long as the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor is in effect.

#### Transfer Agency Agreement
The Company has entered into a transfer agency agreement with DST Systems, Inc. under which DST Systems, Inc. has agreed to provide transfer agency, shareholder record keeping and related services to the Company. This agreement will remain in effect until the expiration or termination of the transfer agency agreement.

#### Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement
The Company has entered into an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement (as amended, the "Expense Support Agreement") with the Advisor, pursuant to which the Advisor has contractually agreed to pay Other Operating Expenses (as defined below) of the Company on the Company's behalf (each such payment, a "Required Expense Payment" such that Other Operating Expenses of the Company do not exceed 1.00% (on an annualized basis) of the Company's applicable quarter-end net asset value. "Other Operating Expenses" include the Company's organizational and offering expenses (including the Company's allocable portion of compensation and overhead (including rent, office equipment and utilities) and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement, excluding Base Management Fees and Incentive Fees owed to the Advisor and any interest expenses owed by the Company.

At such times as the Advisor determines, the Advisor may elect to pay certain additional expenses of the Company on the Company's behalf (each such payment, a "Voluntary Expense Payment" and together with a Required Expense Payment, the "Expense Payments"). In making a Voluntary Expense Payment, the Advisor will designate, as it deems necessary or advisable, what type of expense it is paying (including, whether it is paying organizational or offering expenses).

Following any calendar quarter in which Available Operating Funds (as defined below) exceed the cumulative distributions accrued to the Company's shareholders based on distributions declared with respect to record dates occurring in such calendar quarter (the amount of such excess referred to in this Registration Statement as "Excess Operating Funds"), the Company will pay such Excess Operating Funds, or a portion thereof, to the Advisor until such time as all Expense Payments made by the Advisor to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter have been reimbursed. Any payments required to be made by the Company under the Expense Support Agreement are referred to in this Registration Statement as a "Reimbursement Payment." "Available Operating Funds" means the sum of (i) the Company's net investment company taxable income (including net short-term capital gains reduced by net long-term capital losses), (ii) the Company's net capital gains (including the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) and (iii) dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts listed in clause (iii) are not included under clauses (i) and (ii) above).

The amount of the Reimbursement Payment for any calendar quarter will equal the lesser of (i) the Excess Operating Funds in such quarter and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Expense Payments made by the Advisor to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter that have not been previously reimbursed by the Company to the Advisor; provided that the Advisor may waive its right to receive all or a portion of any Reimbursement Payment in any particular calendar quarter, in which case such waived amount will remain unreimbursed Expense Payments reimbursable in future quarters pursuant to the terms of the Expense Support Agreement.

16<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
No Reimbursement Payment for any quarter shall be made if: (1) the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share (as defined below) declared by the Company at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is less than the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates, (2) the Company's Operating Expense Ratio at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is greater than the Operating Expense Ratio at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relate, or (3) the Company's Other Operating Expenses at the time of such Reimbursement Payment exceeds 1.00% of the Company's applicable quarter-end net asset value. The Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share means the annualized rate, based on a 365-day year, of regular cash distributions per share exclusive of returns of capital and declared special dividends or special distributions, if any. The Company's Operating Expense Ratio is calculated by dividing Operating Expenses (i.e. the Company's operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), less organizational and offering expenses, Base Management Fees and Incentive Fees owed to the Advisor, shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees, and interest expense, by the Company's net assets.

The Company's obligation to make a Reimbursement Payment will automatically become a liability of the Company on the last business day of the applicable calendar quarter, except to the extent the Advisor has waived its right to receive such payment for the applicable quarter. The Reimbursement Payment for any calendar quarter will be paid by the Company to the Advisor in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds as promptly as possible following such calendar quarter and in no event later than 45 days after the end of such calendar quarter. All Reimbursement Payments shall be deemed to relate to the earliest unreimbursed Expense Payments made by the Advisor to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of the calendar quarter in which such Reimbursement Payments obligation is accrued.

Either the Company or the Advisor may terminate the Expense Support Agreement at any time, with or without notice, without the payment of any penalty, provided that any Expense Payments that have not been reimbursed by us to the Advisor will remain the obligation of the Company following any such termination, subject to the terms of the Expense Support Agreement.

#### Determination of Net Asset Value
The net asset value per share of the Company's outstanding Common Shares is determined monthly by dividing the value of total assets minus liabilities by the total number of shares outstanding.

The Company shall value its investments in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board (the "Valuation Policy"). In accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Advisor as the Company's "Valuation Designee". The Advisor has established a Valuation Committee that is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value of the Company's investments in instances where there is no readily available market value. A readily available market value is not expected to exist for most of the investments in the Company's portfolio, and the Company values these portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee. The types of factors that the Valuation Designee may take into account in determining the fair value of the Company's investments generally include, as appropriate, comparisons of financial ratios portfolio company to peer companies that are public, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, and other relevant factors. Investments for which market quotations are readily available may be priced by independent pricing services. The Company has retained an external, independent valuation firm to provide data and valuation analyses on the Company's portfolio companies.

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"). This accounting statement requires the Company to assume that the portfolio investment is assumed to be sold in the principal market to market participants, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820, the market in which the Company can exit portfolio investments with the greatest volume and level activity is considered its principal market.

When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Company considers the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate its valuation. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments determined in good faith by the Advisor and approved by the Board may differ materially

17<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different from the valuations currently assigned.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Advisor undertakes a multi-step valuation process, as described below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of the Advisor responsible for the portfolio investment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with the Advisor's Valuation Committee and presented to the Advisor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Advisor then reviews the preliminary valuations recommended by the Valuation Committee and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company's portfolio in good faith; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Audit Committee of the Board provides oversight of the valuation process in accordance with Rule 2a-5, which includes a review of the quarterly reports prepared by the Advisor and the fair valuation determinations made by the Advisor.

As part of the overall process noted above, the Company has retained and may engage another independent valuation firm (each, a "Pricing Service") to provide management with assistance in determining the fair value of selected portfolio investments each quarter. In selecting which portfolio investments to engage a Pricing Service, the Advisor considers a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the qualifications, experience, and history of the Pricing Service; the valuation methods or techniques, inputs, and assumptions used by the Pricing Service for different classes of holdings, and how they are affected (if at all) as market conditions change (including whether the Pricing Service is relying on inputs or assumptions provided by the Advisor); the quality of the pricing information provided by the Pricing Service and the extent to which the Pricing Service determines its pricing information as close as possible to the time as of which the Company calculates its NAV; the Pricing Service's process for considering pricing challenges, including how the Pricing Service incorporates information received from price challenges into its pricing information; the Pricing Service's actual and potential conflicts of interest and the steps the Pricing Service takes to mitigate such conflicts; the Pricing Services SOC reports, IT development, cybersecurity and business continuity policies; and the testing processes used by the Pricing Service. The scope of services rendered by the Pricing Service is at the discretion of the Advisor and subject to approval of the Board, and the Company may engage a Pricing Service to value all or some of our portfolio investments.

In determining the fair value of a portfolio investment in good faith, the Company recognizes these determinations are made using the best available information that is knowable or reasonably knowable. In addition, changes in the market environment, portfolio company performance and other events that may occur over the duration of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be materially different than the valuations currently assigned. The change in fair value of each individual investment is recorded as an adjustment to the investment's fair value and the change is reflected in unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

In following these approaches, the types of factors that are taken into account in determining the fair value of the Company's investments include, as relevant, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• applicable market yields and multiples;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• security covenants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• call protection provisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• information rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the nature and realizable value of any collateral;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows and the markets in which it does business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• comparable merger and acquisition transactions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the principal market and enterprise values.

#### Certain BDC Regulation Considerations
A BDC must be organized in the United States for the purpose of investing in or lending to primarily private companies and making significant managerial assistance available to them. As with other companies regulated by the 1940 Act, a BDC must adhere to certain substantive regulatory requirements.

#### SEC Reporting
The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, which includes annual and quarterly reporting requirements.

#### Governance
The Company is a statutory trust and, as such, is governed by a board of trustees. The 1940 Act requires that a majority of the Company's trustees be persons other than "interested persons," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. In addition, the 1940 Act provides that the Company may not change the nature of its business so as to cease to be, or to withdraw its election as, a BDC unless approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities.

#### Ownership Restrictions
The Company does not intend to acquire securities issued by any investment company that exceed the limits imposed by the 1940 Act. Under these limits, except for registered money market funds, a BDC generally cannot acquire more than 3% of the voting stock of any investment company, invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in the securities of one investment company or invest more than 10% of the value of its total assets in the securities of investment companies in the aggregate.

#### Qualifying Ass e ts
Under the 1940 Act, a BDC may not acquire any asset other than assets of the type listed in section 55(a) of the 1940 Act, which are referred to as qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made and after giving effect to such acquisition, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the BDC's total assets. The principal categories of qualifying assets relevant to the Company's business are the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Securities purchased in transactions not involving any public offering from the issuer of such securities, which issuer (subject to certain limited exceptions) is an "eligible portfolio company" (as defined in the 1940 Act), or from any person who is, or has been during the preceding 13 months, an affiliated person of an eligible portfolio company, or from any other person, subject to such rules as may be prescribed by the SEC. An eligible portfolio company is defined in the 1940 Act as any issuer which:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• is organized under the laws of, and has its principal place of business in, the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• is not an investment company (other than a small business investment company wholly owned by the Company) or a company that would be an investment company but for certain exclusions under the 1940 Act; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• satisfies any of the following:

has an equity capitalization of less than $250 million or does not have any class of securities listed on a national securities exchange;<br>

- is controlled by a BDC or a group of companies including a BDC, the BDC actually exercises a controlling influence over the management or policies of the eligible portfolio company, and, as a result thereof, the BDC has an affiliated person who is a director of the eligible portfolio company; or

is a small and solvent company having total assets of not more than $4 million and capital and surplus of not less than $2 million.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Securities of any eligible portfolio company that the Company controls.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Securities purchased in a private transaction from a U.S. issuer that is not an investment company or from an affiliated person of the issuer, or in transactions incident thereto, if the issuer is in bankruptcy and subject to reorganization or if the issuer, immediately prior to the purchase of its securities was unable to meet its obligations as they came due without material assistance other than conventional lending or financing arrangements.

19<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Securities of an eligible portfolio company purchased from any person in a private transaction if there is no ready market for such securities and the Company already owns 60% of the outstanding equity of the eligible portfolio company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Securities received in exchange for or distributed on or with respect to securities described above, or pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants or rights relating to such securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash, cash equivalents, "U.S. Government securities" (as defined in the 1940 Act) or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment.

#### Limitations on Leverage
As a BDC, the Company generally must have at least 150% asset coverage for its debt after incurring any new indebtedness, meaning that the total value of the Company's assets, less existing debt, must be at least twice the amount of the debt (<u>i.e.</u>, 2:1 leverage).

#### Managerial Assistance to Portfolio Companies
A BDC must be operated for the purpose of making investments in the types of securities described in "*Qualifying Assets*" above. However, in order to count portfolio securities as qualifying assets for the purpose of the 70% test, the BDC must either control the issuer of the securities or must offer to make available to the issuer of the securities (other than small and solvent companies described above) significant managerial assistance. Where the BDC purchases such securities in conjunction with one or more other persons acting together, the BDC will satisfy this test if one of the other persons in the group makes available such managerial assistance. Making available managerial assistance means, among other things, any arrangement whereby the BDC, through its trustees, officers or employees, offers to provide, and, if accepted, does so provide, significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company.

#### Temporary Investments
As a BDC, pending investment in other types of "qualifying assets," as described above, the Company's investments may consist of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Government securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, which are referred to, collectively, as temporary investments, such that at least 70% of the Company's assets are qualifying assets. When investing in temporary investments, the Company will typically invest in highly rated commercial paper, U.S. Government agency notes, U.S. Treasury bills or in repurchase agreements relating to such securities that are fully collateralized by cash or securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies. A repurchase agreement involves the purchase by an investor, such as the Company, of a specified security and the simultaneous agreement by the seller to repurchase it at an agreed-upon future date and at a price that is greater than the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate. There is no percentage restriction on the proportion of the Company's assets that may be invested in such repurchase agreements. However, certain diversification tests in order to qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes will typically require the Company to limit the amount it invests with any one counterparty.

#### Senior Securities
The Company is permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of indebtedness and one class of stock senior to the Common Shares if the Company's asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least equal to 150% after each such issuance. In addition, while any preferred stock or publicly traded debt securities are outstanding, the Company may be prohibited from making distributions to its shareholders or the repurchasing of such securities or shares unless it meets the 150% asset coverage ratio at the time of the distribution or repurchase. The Company may also borrow amounts up to 5% of the value of its total assets for temporary purposes without regard to asset coverage. The 1940 Act imposes limitations on a BDC's issuance of preferred shares, which are considered "senior securities" subject to the 150% asset coverage requirement described above. In addition, (i) preferred shares must have the same voting rights as the common shareholders (one share one vote); and (ii) preferred shareholders must have the right, as a class, to appoint two trustees to the board of trustees.

#### Code of Ethics
As a BDC, the Company and the Advisor have adopted a code of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act that establishes procedures for personal investments and restricts certain personal securities transactions.

20<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Personnel subject to each code may invest in securities for their personal investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Company, so long as such investments are made in accordance with the code's requirements.

#### Other Considerations
As a BDC, the Company will not generally be able to issue and sell its Common Shares at a price below net asset value per share. It may, however, issue and sell its Common Shares , at a price below the current net asset value of the Common Shares, or issue and sell warrants, options or rights to acquire such Common Shares, at a price below the current net asset value of the Common Shares if the Board determines that such sale is in the Company's best interest and in the best interests of its shareholders, and its shareholders have approved the policy and practice of making such sales within the preceding 12 months. In any such case, the price at which the securities are to be issued and sold may not be less than a price that, in the determination of the board of trustees, closely approximates the market value of such securities.

As a BDC, the Company may also be prohibited under the 1940 Act from knowingly participating in certain transactions with its affiliates, including the Company's officers, trustees, investment adviser, principal underwriters and certain of their affiliates, without the prior approval of the members of board of trustees who are not interested persons and, in some cases, prior approval by the SEC through an exemptive order (other than pursuant to current regulatory guidance). The Advisor has applied for an exemptive order from the SEC that will permit the Company, among other things, to co-invest with certain other persons, including certain affiliates of the Advisor and certain funds managed and controlled by the Advisor and its affiliates, subject to certain terms and conditions. There is no assurance that the co-investment exemptive order will be granted by the SEC. Pursuant to such order, the Board may establish Board Criteria clearly defining co-investment opportunities in which the Company will have the opportunity to participate with other public or private Kennedy Lewis funds that target similar assets. If an investment falls within the Board Criteria, Kennedy Lewis must offer an opportunity for the Company to participate. The Company may determine to participate or not to participate, depending on whether the Advisor determines that the investment is appropriate for the Company (*e.g.*, based on investment strategy). The co-investment would generally be allocated to the Company and the other Kennedy Lewis funds that target similar assets *pro rata* based on available capital in the asset class being allocated. If the Advisor determines that such investment is not appropriate for the Company, the investment will not be allocated to the Company, but the Advisor will be required to report such investment and the rationale for its determination for the Company to not participate in the investment to the Board at the next quarterly board meeting.

As a BDC, the Company expects to be periodically examined by the SEC for compliance with the 1940 Act.

As a BDC, the Company will be required to provide and maintain a bond issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company to protect the Company against larceny and embezzlement.

The Company and the Advisor have adopted and implemented written policies and procedures reasonably designed to detect and prevent violation of the federal securities laws. As a BDC, the Company will be required to review these compliance policies and procedures annually for their adequacy and the effectiveness of their implementation and designate a chief compliance officer to be responsible for administering the policies and procedures.

#### Certain ERISA Considerations
ERISA and the Code impose restrictions on certain transactions involving (i) employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that are subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) plans subject to Section 4975 of the Code, including individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans, and (iii) any entities whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in such entities (collectively "Plans"). ERISA and the rules and regulations of the Department of Labor (the "DOL") promulgated thereunder contain provisions that should be considered by fiduciaries of those Plans and their legal advisors. In particular, Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit certain transactions involving the assets Plans and certain persons (referred to as "parties in interest" under ERISA or "disqualified persons" under the Code) having certain relationships to such Plans, unless a statutory or administrative exemption is applicable to the transaction. A party in interest or disqualified person who engages in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. Each investor is responsible for determining the extent, if any, to which the purchase and holding of the Company's common shares will constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and otherwise for determining compliance with ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code.

21<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
***Fiduciary Duty. In deciding upon an investment in the Company, Plan fiduciaries should consider their basic fiduciary duties under ERISA Section 404, which require them to discharge their investment duties prudently and solely in the interests of the Plan participants and beneficiaries. Plan fiduciaries must give appropriate consideration to the role that an investment in the Company would play in the Plan's overall investment portfolio. In analyzing the prudence of an investment in the Company, special attention should be given to the DOL's regulation on investment duties (29 C.F.R. § 2550.404a-1). That regulation requires, among other things (i) a determination that each investment is designed reasonably, as part of the portfolio, to further the Plan's purposes, (ii) an examination of risk and return factors, and (iii) consideration of the portfolio's composition with regard to diversification, the liquidity and current return of the total portfolio relative to anticipated cash flow needs of the Plan, and the projected return of the total portfolio relative to the Plan's funding objectives. ERISA also requires a fiduciary to discharge such duties in accordance with the documents governing the Plan insofar as they are consistent with ERISA. Fiduciaries that are considering an investment in the Company should also consider the applicability of the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code to such an investment and confirm that such investment will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction or any other violation of an applicable requirement of ERISA.***

***Plan Assets. The Plan Assets Regulation describes what constitutes the assets of a Plan with respect to the Plan's investment in an entity for purposes of the fiduciary responsibility and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. Under the Plan Assets Regulation, if a Plan invests in an "equity interest" of an entity that is not a "publicly offered security" (as discussed below) then the Plan's assets will include both the equity interest and an undivided interest in each of the underlying assets of the entity, unless either (i) the entity is an "operating company" or (ii) equity participation in the entity by Benefit Plan Investors (as defined below) is not "significant," each as discussed below. Under the Plan Assets Regulation, investment in an entity is "significant" if participation by Benefit Plan Investors equals or exceeds 25% of any class of equity of the Company. For these purposes, the term "Benefit Plan Investor" is defined as (a) any employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) any "plan" as defined in and subject to Section 4975 of the Code, and (c) any entity whose underlying assets include Plan assets by reason of a Plan's investment in the entity. For purposes of the 25% determination, the value of equity interests held by a person (other than a Benefit Plan Investor) that has discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets of the entity or that provides investment advice for a fee (direct or indirect) with respect to such assets, or any affiliate of such person (each of the foregoing, a "Controlling Person") is disregarded.***

The Plan Assets Regulation defines a "publicly-offered security" as a security that is "widely held," "freely transferable," and either part of a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act or sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act if the securities are registered under the Exchange Act within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year of the issuer during which the public offering occurred. For these purposes, a security is considered "widely held" only if it is part of a class of securities that is owned by 100 or more investors that are independent of the issuer and of one another. A security will not fail to be "widely held" because the number of independent investors falls below 100 subsequent to the initial offering as a result of events beyond the issuer's control. In addition, the Plan Assets Regulation provides that whether a security is "freely transferable" is a factual question to be determined on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances. The Plan Assets Regulation further provides that, when a security is part of an offering in which the minimum investment is $10,000 or less, as is the case with this Offering, certain restrictions ordinarily will not, alone or in combination, affect the finding that such securities are "freely transferable." It is noted that the Plan Assets Regulation only establishes a presumption in favor of the finding of free transferability where the restrictions are consistent with the particular types of restrictions listed in the Plan Assets Regulation.

Until such time as Common Shares constitute a "publicly-offered security" under the Plan Assets Regulation, the Advisor intends to operate the Company so that the assets of the Company will not be considered "plan assets." In that regard, the Advisor will seek to limit investment in the Company by Benefit Plan Investors to less than 25% of each class of equity interests in the Company, based upon assurance provided by investors. In the event that the Advisor seeks to limit investment by Benefit Plan Investors to comply with such 25% limitation, the Company may take certain actions to ensure compliance with such restriction, including requiring one or more Benefit Plan Investors to sell shares to other shareholders or a third party or redeeming of all or a portion of the shares held by a Benefit Plan Investor. In circumstances in which investment by Benefit Plan Investors in the Company is or may become "significant" and no other exception under the Plan Assets Regulation is available, other remedial measures may also apply.

Prior to accepting funds to purchase Common Shares from any investor, the investor will be required to make certain representations in its Subscription Agreement with respect to ERISA matters, including whether the investor is, or is not and will not be, a Benefit Plan Investor or Controlling Person.

*Insurance Company General Accounts. Any insurance company proposing to invest assets of its general account in the Company should consider the extent to which such investment would be subject to the requirements of ERISA in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co. v. Harris Trust and Savings Bank and under any subsequent legislation or other guidance that has or may become available relating to that decision.*

*Governmental, Church and Non-U.S. Plans. Governmental plans, certain church plans and non-U.S. plans, while not subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, may nevertheless be subject to federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws and regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA and the Code. Fiduciaries of such plans should consult with their own counsel before purchasing shares of the Company's Common Shares.*

**The foregoing discussion of certain aspects of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code is based upon ERISA, judicial decisions, U.S. Department of Labor regulations, rulings and opinions in existence on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change and should not be construed as legal advice. This summary is general in nature and does not address every issue that may be applicable to the Company or to a particular investor. Fiduciaries of employee benefit plans should consult with their own counsel with respect to issues arising under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or other applicable law and make their own independent investment decision.**

#### Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
Following the effectiveness of this Registration Statement, we will be subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Exchange Act, including the filing of quarterly, annual and current reports, proxy statements and other required items. In addition, we will be subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), which imposes a wide variety of regulatory requirements on publicly-held companies and their insiders. Many of these requirements affect us. For example:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Exchange Act, our President and Chief Financial Officer will be required to certify the accuracy of the financial statements contained in our periodic reports;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pursuant to Item 307 of Regulation S-K, our periodic reports will be required to disclose our conclusions about the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management will required to prepare an annual report regarding its assessment of our internal control over financial reporting after we have been subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for a specified period of time and, starting from the date on which we cease to be an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, must obtain an audit of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting performed by our independent registered public accounting firm should we become an accelerated filer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pursuant to Item 308 of Regulation S-K and Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our periodic reports must disclose whether there were significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act will require us to review our then-current policies and procedures to determine whether we comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the regulations promulgated under such act. We continue to monitor our compliance with all regulations that are adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and will take actions necessary to ensure that we comply with that act.

#### Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures
The Advisor votes proxies relating to our portfolio securities in what it perceives to be the best interest of our shareholders. The Advisor reviews on a case-by-case basis each proposal submitted to a shareholder vote to determine its effect on the portfolio securities we hold. In most cases the Advisor will vote in favor of proposals that it believes are likely to increase the value of the portfolio securities we hold. Although the Advisor will generally vote against proposals that may have a negative effect on our portfolio securities, it may vote for such a proposal if there exist compelling long-term reasons to do so.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Privacy Principles
Any and all nonpublic personal information received by the Company and/or the Advisor with respect to investors in the Company who are natural persons, including the information provided to the Company by an investor in subscription documents, will not be shared with nonaffiliated third parties which are not service providers to the Company and/or the Advisor. Such service providers include but are not limited to the Company's Administrator, auditors and legal advisors. Additionally, the Company and/or the Advisor may disclose such nonpublic personal information as required by law.

#### JOBS Act
We will be, and expect to remain, an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act, until the earliest of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the last day of our fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the end of the fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues first equal or exceed $1.235 billion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date on which we have, during the prior three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the last day of a fiscal year in which we (1) have an aggregate worldwide market value of our Common Shares held by non-affiliates of $700.0 million or more, computed at the end of each fiscal year as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter and (2) have been an Exchange Act reporting company for at least one year (and filed at least one annual report under the Exchange Act).

Under the JOBS Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank"), we are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which would require that our independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, until such time as we cease to be an emerging growth company and become an accelerated filer as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. This may increase the risk that material weaknesses or other deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting go undetected. In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the extended transition period.

#### Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following discussion is a summary of some of the U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to an investment in the Company as a shareholder, including U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to a BDC. It is based upon the Code, the regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings of the IRS and court decisions, all as in effect on the date of this Registration Statement. All of the above authorities are subject to change (possibly retroactively) by legislative or administrative action.

For purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. Holder" is a shareholder, in each case, that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (a) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; (b) a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (c) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source or (d) a trust if a court within the United States can exercise primary supervision over its administration and certain other conditions are met. A "Non-U.S. Holder" is a shareholder who is not a U.S. Holder.

THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT DISCUSS ALL OF THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO A PARTICULAR INVESTOR OR TO INVESTORS SUBJECT TO SPECIAL TREATMENT AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE. ACCORDINGLY, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE SPECIFIC FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, ESTATE AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF INVESTING IN THE PARTNERSHIP.

Taxation of RIC Operations Generally. The Company intends to qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a RIC, the Company will be able to deduct qualifying distributions to its shareholders, so that it is subject to U.S. federal income taxation only in respect of earnings that it retains and does not distribute. In addition, certain distributions made to the Company's shareholders may be eligible for look-through tax treatment determined by reference to the earnings from which the distribution is made.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
In order to qualify as a RIC, the Company must, among other things,

(a)<br> at all times during each taxable year maintain its election under the 1940 Act to be treated as a BDC;

(b) derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities and other specified categories of investment income; and

(c)<br> diversify its holdings so that, subject to certain exceptions and cure periods, at the end of each quarter of its taxable year

(i) at least 50% of the value of its total assets is represented by cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, the securities of other RICs and "other securities," in respect of which (a) the Company has not invested more than 5% of the value of its total assets in securities of the issuer and (b) the Company does not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer; and

(ii) no more than 25% of the value of its assets may be invested in securities of any one issuer, the securities of any two or more issuers that are controlled by the Company and are engaged in the same or similar or related trades or business (excluding U.S. government securities and securities of other RICs), or the securities of one or more "qualified publicly traded partnerships."

As a RIC, in any taxable year with respect to which the Company distributes (or is treated as distributing) at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (which includes, among other items, dividends, interest and the excess of any net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses and other taxable income other than any net capital gain reduced by deductible expenses), the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its investment company taxable income and net capital gains that are distributed to shareholders. If the Company fails to distribute its income on a timely basis, it will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax. To avoid this tax, the Company must distribute (or be deemed to have distributed) during each calendar year an amount equal to the sum of:

(1) at least 98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for the calendar year;

(2) at least 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of its capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year; and

(3) any undistributed amounts from previous years on which the Company paid no U.S. federal income tax.

The Company is generally expected to distribute substantially all of its earnings on a quarterly basis, though one or more of the considerations described below could result in the deferral of dividend distributions until the end of the fiscal year:

(1) The Company may make investments that are subject to tax rules that require it to include amounts in income before cash corresponding to that income is received, or that defer or limit the Company's ability to claim the benefit of deductions or losses. For example, if the Company holds securities issued with original issue discount, such discount will be included in income in the taxable year of accrual and before any corresponding cash payments are received.

(2)<br> In cases where the Company's taxable income exceeds its available cash flow, the Company will need to fund distributions with the proceeds of sale of securities or with borrowed money, and will raise funds for this purpose opportunistically over the course of the year.

In certain circumstances (<u>e.g.</u>, where the Company is required to recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income), the Company may have difficulty making distributions in the amounts necessary to satisfy the requirements for maintaining RIC status and for avoiding income and excise taxes. Accordingly, the Company may have to sell investments at times it would not otherwise consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital or reduce new investment originations to meet these distribution requirements. If the Company is not able to obtain cash from other sources, it may fail to qualify as a RIC and thereby be subject to corporate-level income tax.

25<br>

------

Although the Company does not presently expect to do so, it will be authorized to borrow funds and to sell assets in order to satisfy distribution requirements. However, under the 1940 Act, it will not be permitted to make distributions to its shareholders while its debt obligations and other senior securities are outstanding unless certain "asset coverage" tests are met.

Moreover, the Company's ability to dispose of assets to meet distribution requirements may be limited by (1) the illiquid nature of its portfolio and/or (2) other requirements relating to its qualification as a RIC, including the diversification tests. If the Company disposes of assets in order to meet the annual distribution requirement or to avoid the excise tax, it may make such dispositions at times that, from an investment standpoint, are not advantageous.

Certain of the Company's investment practices may be subject to special and complex U.S. federal income tax provisions that may, among other things: (i) disallow, suspend or otherwise limit the allowance of certain losses or deductions; (ii) convert lower taxed long- term capital gain into higher taxed short-term capital gain or ordinary income; (iii) convert an ordinary loss or a deduction into a capital loss (the deductibility of which is more limited); (iv) cause the Company to recognize income or gain without a corresponding receipt of cash; (v) adversely affect the time as to when a purchase or sale of securities is deemed to occur; (vi) adversely alter the characterization of certain complex financial transactions; and (vii) produce income that will not be qualifying income for purposes of the 90% gross income test described above.

Certain distributions reported by the Company as Section 163(j) interest dividends may be treated as interest income by shareholders for purposes of the tax rules applicable to interest expense limitations under Section 163(j) of the Code. Such treatment by the shareholder is generally subject to holding period requirements and other potential limitations, although the holding period requirements are generally not applicable to dividends declared by money market funds and certain other funds that declare dividends daily and pay such dividends on a monthly or more frequent basis. The amount that the Company is eligible to report as a Section 163(j) dividend for a tax year is generally limited to the excess of the Company's business interest income over the sum of the Company's (i) business interest expense and (ii) other deductions properly allocable to the Company's business interest income.

A RIC is limited in its ability to deduct expenses in excess of its investment company taxable income. If our deductible expenses in a given taxable year exceed our investment company taxable income, we could incur a net operating loss for that taxable year. However, a RIC is not permitted to carry forward net operating losses to subsequent taxable years and such net operating losses do not pass through to its shareholders. In addition, deductible expenses can be used only to offset investment company taxable income, not net capital gain. A RIC cannot use any net capital losses (that is, the excess of realized capital losses over realized capital gains) to offset its investment company taxable income, but could carry forward such net capital losses, and use them to offset future capital gains, indefinitely. Due to these limits on deductibility of expenses and net capital losses, the Company could for tax purposes have aggregate taxable income for several taxable years that the Company is required to distribute and that is taxable to the shareholders even if such taxable income is greater than the net income the Company actually earns during those taxable years.

While the Company is expected to distribute any income and capital gains in the manner necessary to minimize imposition of the 4% excise tax, it may not be able to distribute amounts sufficient to avoid the imposition of the tax entirely. In that event, the Company will be liable for the tax only on the amount by which it does not meet the foregoing distribution requirement. Under certain circumstances, the Advisor may, in its sole discretion, determine that it is in the interests of the Company to retain rather than distribute some amount of income and capital gains, and accordingly cause the Company to bear the excise tax burden associated therewith.

If in any particular taxable year, the Company does not qualify as a RIC, all of the Company's taxable income (including net capital gains) will be subject to tax at regular corporate rates without any deduction for distributions to shareholders, and distributions will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary dividends to the extent of the Company's current and accumulated earnings and profits.

In the event the Company invests in foreign securities, it may be subject to withholding and other foreign taxes with respect to those securities. The Company is not expected to satisfy the requirement to pass through to shareholders their share of the foreign taxes paid by the Company.

#### Taxation of U.S. Holders
Distributions from the Company's investment company taxable income (consisting generally of net investment income, net short-term capital gain, and net gains from certain foreign currency transactions) generally will be taxable to U.S. Holders as ordinary income to the extent made out of the Company's current or accumulated earnings and profits. Distributions generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporate shareholders. Distributions that the Company report as net capital gain distributions will be taxable to U.S. Holders as long-term capital gain regardless of how long such U.S. Holders have held their shares. Distributions in excess of the Company's current and accumulated earnings and profits first will reduce a U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in such U.S. Holder's Common Shares and, after the adjusted tax basis is reduced to zero, will constitute capital gains to such U.S. Holder.

Distributions declared by the Company in October, November, or December of any year and payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in such a month will be deemed to have been paid by the Company on December 31st of the previous calendar year if the distributions are paid during the following January. Accordingly, distributions received in January may be subject to taxation in the preceding year.

Although the Company intends to distribute any net long-term capital gains at least annually, it may in the future decide to retain some or all of its net long-term capital gains but designate the retained amount as a "deemed distribution." In that case, among other consequences, the Company will pay corporate-level federal income tax on the retained amount, each U.S. Holder will be required to include its share of the deemed distribution in income as if it had been distributed to the U.S. Holder, and the U.S. Holder will be entitled to claim a credit equal to its allocable share of the tax paid on the deemed distribution by the Company. The amount of the deemed distribution net of such tax will be added to the U.S. Holder's tax basis for their Common Shares or preferred stock. Since the Company expects to pay tax on any retained capital gains at its regular corporate capital gain tax rate, and since that rate is in excess of the maximum rate currently payable by non-corporate U.S. Holders on long-term capital gains, the amount of tax that non-corporate U.S. Holders will be treated as having paid and for which they will receive a credit will exceed the tax they owe on the retained net capital gains. Such excess generally may be claimed as a credit against the U.S. Holder's other federal income tax obligations or may be refunded to the extent it exceeds a shareholder's liability for federal income tax. A shareholder that is not subject to federal income tax or otherwise required to file a federal income tax return would be required to file a federal income tax return on the appropriate form to claim a refund for the taxes paid by the Company. To utilize the deemed distribution approach, the Company must provide written notice to its shareholders. The Company cannot treat any of its investment company taxable income as a "deemed distribution."

If a U.S. Holder sells or exchanges its shares of the Company, the holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between its adjusted basis in the shares sold and the amount received. Any such gain or loss will be treated as a capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than one year. Any loss recognized on a sale or exchange of shares that were held for six months or less will be treated as long-term, rather than short-term, capital loss to the extent of any capital gain distributions previously received (or deemed to be received) thereon.

The Company or the applicable withholding agent will be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax ("backup withholding") currently at a rate of 24% from all taxable distributions to any non-corporate U.S. Holder (1) who fails to furnish the Company with a correct taxpayer identification number or a certificate that such shareholder is exempt from backup withholding or (2) with respect to whom the IRS notifies the Company that such shareholder has failed to properly report certain interest and dividend income to the IRS and to respond to notices to that effect. An individual's taxpayer identification number is his or her social security number. Any amount withheld under backup withholding is allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such shareholder to a refund, provided that proper information is timely provided to the IRS.

An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from us and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of our Common Shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person's "modified adjusted gross income" (in the case of an individual) or "adjusted gross income" (in the case of an estate or trust) exceed certain threshold amounts.

***Limitations on Deductibility of Certain Losses and Expenses. If the Company is not treated as a "publicly offered regulated investment company" (within the meaning of Section 67 of the Code) for any calendar year, then***

27<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust may be subject to limitations on miscellaneous itemized deductions in respect of its share of expenses that the Company incurs, to the extent that the expenses would have been subject to limitations if the holder had incurred them directly. For taxable years beginning before 2026, miscellaneous itemized deductions generally are not deductible by a U.S. Holder that is an individual, trust or estate. For taxable years beginning in 2026 or later, miscellaneous itemized deductions are deductible only to the extent that the aggregate of such U.S. Holder's miscellaneous itemized deductions exceeds 2% of such U.S. Holder's adjusted gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, are not deductible for purposes of determining a U.S. Holder's liability for the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax and are subject to the overall limitation on itemized deductions under Section 68 of the Code. In this case, the Company would be required to report the relevant income and expenses, including the Base Management Fee, on Form 1099-DIV, and affected holders will be required to take into account their allocable share of such income and expenses. There is no assurance that the Company will be treated as a "publicly offered regulated investment company" at any time or all times.

***Tax-Exempt Investors. The direct conduct by a tax-exempt U.S. Holder of the activities that the Company is expected to conduct could give rise to UBTI. However, a BDC is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its business activities generally will not be attributed to its shareholders for purposes of determining treatment under current law. Therefore, a tax-exempt U.S. Holder should not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation solely as a result of the holder's ownership of the Company's shares and receipt of dividends that it pays. Moreover, under current law, if the Company incurs indebtedness, such indebtedness will not be attributed to portfolio investors in its stock. Therefore, a tax-exempt U.S. Holder should not be treated as earning income from "debt-financed property" and dividends paid by the Company should not be treated as "unrelated debt-financed income" solely as a result of indebtedness that the Company incurs. Proposals periodically are made to change the treatment of "blocker" investment vehicles interposed between tax-exempt investors and non-qualifying investments. In the event that any such proposals were to be adopted and applied to BDCs, the treatment of dividends payable to tax-exempt investors could be adversely affected.***

***Non-U.S. Holders. Distributions of our "investment company taxable income" to Non-U.S. Holders (including interest income, net short-term capital gain or non-U.S.-source dividend and interest income, which generally would be free of withholding if paid to Non-U.S. Holders directly) generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate provided by an applicable treaty) to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits unless the distributions are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the Non-U.S. shareholder, in which case the distributions will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the rates applicable to U.S. persons. For a corporate Non-U.S. shareholder, distributions (both actual and deemed), and gains realized upon the sale of our Common Shares that are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business could, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate (or at a lower rate if provided for by an applicable treaty). In each such case, we will not be required to withhold U.S. federal tax if the Non-U.S. Holder complies with applicable certification and disclosure requirements. Special certification requirements apply to a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign partnership or a foreign trust, and such entities are urged to consult their own tax advisors.***

Certain properly reported dividends are generally exempt from withholding of U.S. federal income tax where paid in respect of a RIC's (i) "qualified net interest income" (generally, its U.S.-source interest income, other than certain contingent interest and interest from obligations of a corporation or partnership in which the RIC or the non-U.S. shareholder are at least a 10% shareholder, reduced by expenses that are allocable to such income) or (ii) "qualified short-term capital gains" (generally, the excess of the RIC's net short-term capital gain, other than short-term capital gains recognized on the disposition of U.S. real property interests, over the RIC's long-term capital loss), as well as if certain other requirements are satisfied. Nevertheless, no assurance can be given as to whether any of the Company's distributions will be eligible for this exemption from withholding of U.S. federal income tax or, if eligible, will be reported as such by the Company. Furthermore, in the case of shares of Company stock held through an intermediary, the intermediary may have withheld U.S. federal income tax even if the Company reported the payment as an interest-related dividend or short-term capital gain dividend. Since the Company's Common Shares is subject to significant transfer restrictions, and an investment in the Company's Common Shares will generally be illiquid, non-U.S. shareholders whose distributions on the Company's Common Shares are subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax may not be able to transfer their shares of the Company's Common Shares easily or quickly or at all.

28<br>

------

Non-U.S. Holders generally are not subject to U.S. tax on capital gains realized on the sale of the Company's shares or on actual or deemed distributions of the Company's net capital gains unless such gains are effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business by the holder and, if an income tax treaty applies, are attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States, or the holder is present in the United States for 183 or more days during the taxable year; and the holder is a former citizen or resident of the United States.

*FATCA Compliance. Pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"), additional requirements will apply to Non-U.S. Holders that are considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be a foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity, as well as to Non-U.S. Holders that hold their shares through such an institution or entity. In general, an exemption from U.S. withholding tax will be available only if the foreign financial institution has entered into an agreement with the U.S. government, or under certain intergovernmental agreements collects and provides to the U.S. tax authorities information about its accountholders (including certain investors in such institution) and if the non-financial foreign entity has provided the withholding agent with a certification identifying certain of its direct and indirect U.S. owners. Any U.S. taxes withheld pursuant to the aforementioned requirements from distributions paid to affected Non-U.S. Holders who are otherwise eligible for an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding taxes on such distributions may only be reclaimed by such Non-U.S. Holders by timely filing a U.S. tax return with the IRS to claim the benefit of such exemption or reduction.*

A BDC is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under current law, a non-U.S. Holder will not be considered to be engaged in the conduct of a business in the United States solely by reason of its ownership in a BDC. Proposals periodically are made to change the treatment of "blocker" investment vehicles interposed between foreign investors and investments that would otherwise result in such investors being considered to be engaged in the conduct of a business in the United States. In the event that any such proposals were to be adopted and applied to BDCs, the treatment of dividends payable to foreign investors could be adversely affected.

An investment in Common Shares by a non-U.S. person could also be subject to U.S. federal estate tax. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal income tax, U.S. federal estate tax, withholding tax and state, local and foreign tax consequences of acquiring, owning or disposing of the Company's Common Shares.

| **Item 1A.**<br>| ***Risk Factors.*** |

---

*Investing in the Common Shares involves significant risks. A prospective investor should consider, among other factors, the risk factors set forth below before deciding to purchase the Common Shares. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or not presently deemed material by the Company may also impair the Company's operations and performance. If any of the following events occur, the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the net asset value of the Common Shares could decline, and investors may lose all or part of their investment.*

#### Risks Relating to the Company's Business and Structure

#### The Company is a new company and has no operating history.
The Company will commence operations upon the Initial Closing Date and has no prior operating history. As a result, the Company has no financial information on which you can evaluate an investment in the Company or the Company's prior performance. The Company is subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business, including the risk that the Company will not achieve its investment objective and that the value of your investment could decline substantially or your investment could become worthless.

#### Political, social and economic uncertainty creates and exacerbates risks.
U.S. and non-U.S. markets could experience political uncertainty and/or change that subjects investments to heightened risks, including, for instance, risks related to the elections in the U.S., the large-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia that began in February 2022, or the effect on world leaders and governments of the COVID-19 pandemic. These heightened risks could also include: increased risk of default (by both government and private issuers); greater social, trade, economic and political instability (including the risk of war or terrorist activity); greater governmental involvement in the economy; greater governmental supervision and regulation of the securities markets and market participants resulting in increased expenses related to compliance; greater fluctuations in currency exchange rates; controls or restrictions on foreign investment and/or trade, capital controls and limitations on repatriation of invested capital and on the ability to exchange currencies; inability to purchase and sell investments or otherwise settle security or derivative transactions (i.e., a market freeze); unavailability of currency hedging techniques; and slower clearance.

During times of political uncertainty and/or change, global markets often become more volatile. There could also be a lower level of monitoring and regulation of markets while a country is experiencing political uncertainty and/or change, and the activities of investors in such markets and enforcement of existing regulations could become more limited. Markets experiencing political uncertainty and/or change could have substantial, and in some periods extremely high, rates of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates typically have negative effects on such countries' economies and markets. Tax laws could change materially, and any changes in tax laws could have an unpredictable effect on us, our investments and our investors. There can be no assurance that political changes will not cause us or our investors to suffer losses.

Although it is impossible to predict the precise nature and consequences of these events, or of any political or policy decisions and regulatory changes occasioned by emerging events or uncertainty on applicable laws or regulations that impact the Company, its portfolio companies and its investments. In many instances, the impact will be adverse and profound.

***Public health emergencies, epidemics or pandemics, such as COVID-19, may impact the Company's portfolio investments or the Advisor and harm the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.***

The coronavirus ("COVID-19") outbreak has resulted in numerous deaths, adversely impacted global commercial activity, and contributed to significant volatility in certain equity, debt, derivatives, and commodities markets. Measures designed to slow the spread of COVID-19, as well as the general uncertainty surrounding the dangers and impact of COVID-19, created significant disruption in the global public and private markets, supply chains and economic activity. For these reasons, among others, the potential impacts of COVID-19, including a global, regional, or other economic recession, remain uncertain and difficult to assess. The Company and the Advisor will continue to monitor developments concerning COVID-19, including guidance from federal, state and local public health authorities.

30<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Any public health emergency, including any outbreak of COVID-19, SARS, H1N1/09 flu, avian flu, other coronavirus, Ebola or other existing or new epidemic or pandemic diseases, or the threat thereof, could negatively impact the Company and its portfolio investments and could meaningfully affect the Company's ability to fulfill its investment objectives.

The extent of the impact of any public health emergency on the Company's and its portfolio investments' operational and financial performance will depend on many factors, including but not limited to the duration and scope of such public health emergency, the extent of any related travel advisories and voluntary or mandatory government restrictions implemented, the impact of such public health emergency on overall supply and demand, goods and services, investor liquidity, consumer confidence and spending levels, the extent of government support and levels of economic activity and the extent of its disruption to important global, regional and local supply chains and economic markets, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Any such disruptions may continue for an extended period. In addition, the operations of the Company, its portfolio investments, and the Advisor may be significantly impacted, or even temporarily or permanently halted, as a result of government quarantine measures, voluntary and precautionary restrictions on travel or meetings and other factors related to a public health emergency, including its potential adverse impact on the health of the personnel of any such entity or the personnel of any such entity's key service providers. Any of the foregoing events could materially and adversely affect the Advisor's ability to source, manage and divest investments on behalf of the Company and pursue the Company's investment objective and strategies, all of which could result in significant losses to the Company. Similar consequences could arise with respect to other infectious diseases. The impact to businesses in such circumstances has been and is expected to continue to be substantial.

In connection with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and any future such public health crisis, the Company is expected to incur heightened legal expenses which could similarly have an adverse impact to the Company's returns. For example, but not by limitation, the Company or its portfolio investments may be subject to heightened litigation and its resulting costs, which costs may be significant. There is also a heightened risk of cyber and other security vulnerabilities during the current public health emergency and any future one, which could result in adverse effects to the Company or its portfolio investments in the form of economic harm, data loss or other negative outcomes.

#### Environmental, Social, and Governance Risk.
The Company faces increasing public scrutiny related to environmental, social and governance ("ESG") activities. The Company risks damage to its brand and reputation if it fails to act responsibly with respect to environmental stewardship, corporate governance and transparency and considering ESG factors in its investment processes. Adverse incidents with respect to ESG activities could impact the value of the Company's brand, the cost of its operations and relationships with shareholders, all of which could adversely affect the business and results of operations. Additionally, new regulatory initiatives related to ESG could adversely affect the Company's business.

***Any public health emergency, including the COVID-19 pandemic and any outbreak of other existing or new epidemic diseases, or the threat thereof, and the resulting financial and economic market uncertainty, could have a significant adverse impact on the Company and the fair value of its investments and its portfolio companies.***

The extent of the impact of any public health emergency, including the COVID-19 pandemic, on the Company's and its portfolio companies' operational and financial performance will depend on many factors, including the duration and scope of such public health emergency, the actions taken by governmental authorities to contain the financial and economic impact of the public health emergency, the extent of any related travel advisories and restrictions implemented, the impact of such public health emergency on overall supply and demand, goods and services, investor liquidity, consumer confidence and levels of economic activity, and the extent of the public health emergency's disruption to important global, regional and local supply chains and economic markets, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. In addition, the Company and its portfolio companies' operations may be significantly impacted, or even temporarily or permanently halted, as a result of government quarantine measures, voluntary and precautionary restrictions on travel or meetings and other factors related to a public health emergency, including the potential adverse impact of the public health emergency on the health of any of its or its portfolio companies' personnel. This could create widespread business continuity issues for the Company and its portfolio companies.

***The Company is dependent upon key personnel of Kennedy Lewis and the Advisor for the Company's future success. If Kennedy Lewis or the Advisor were to lose any of its key personnel, the Company's ability to achieve its investment objectives could be significantly harmed.***

The Company depends on the diligence, skill and network of business contacts of the senior investment professionals of Kennedy Lewis and the Advisor to achieve its investment objectives. The Advisor has entered into a resource sharing agreement (the "Resource Sharing Agreement") with Kennedy Lewis Management pursuant to which Kennedy Lewis Management makes certain personnel and resources available to the Advisor in order for the Advisor to provide certain investment advisory services to the Company pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. The investment professionals evaluate, negotiate, structure, closes and monitors the Company's investments in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement. The Company can offer no assurance, however, that the investment professionals will continue to provide investment advice to the Company under the agreements.

The loss of any of these investment professionals may limit the Company's ability to achieve its investment objectives and operate its business. This could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

***The Company's business model depends to a significant extent upon strong referral relationships. Any inability of the Investment Team to maintain or develop these relationships, or the failure of these relationships to generate investment opportunities, could adversely affect the Company's business.***

The Company depends upon the members of the Investment Team to maintain their relationships with private equity sponsors, placement agents, investment banks, management groups and other financial institutions, and the Company will rely to a significant extent upon these relationships to provide it with potential investment opportunities. If the Investment Team fails to maintain such relationships, or to develop new relationships with other sources of investment opportunities, the Company will not be able to grow its investment portfolio. In addition, individuals with whom the members of the Investment Team have relationships are not obligated to provide them with investment opportunities, and the Company can offer no assurance that these relationships will generate investment opportunities for the Company in the future.

#### The Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will depend on its ability to manage its business effectively.
The Company's ability to achieve its investment objectives will depend on its ability to manage its business and to grow its investments and earnings. This will depend, in turn, on the Investment Team's ability to identify, invest in and monitor portfolio companies that meet the Company's investment criteria. The achievement of the Company's investment objectives on a cost-effective basis will depend upon the Investment Team's execution of its investment process, its ability to provide competent, attentive and efficient services to the Company and, to a lesser extent, the Company's access to financing on acceptable terms. Any failure to manage the Company's business and its future growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

***The Investment Team may, from time to time, be required to provide managerial assistance to the portfolio companies, which may impact investment activities of the Company.***

The Investment Team will have substantial responsibilities in connection with the management of other investment funds, accounts and investment vehicles. The Investment Team may be called upon to provide managerial assistance to the Company's portfolio companies. These activities may distract them from sourcing new investment opportunities for the Company or slow the Company's rate of investment.

#### There are significant potential conflicts of interest that could negatively affect the Company's investment returns.
The members of the Advisor's investment committee serve, or may serve, as officers, directors, members, or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the Company, or of investment funds, accounts, or investment vehicles managed by the Advisor. Similarly, the Advisor and its affiliates may have other clients with similar, different or competing investment objectives. In serving in these multiple capacities, they may have obligations to other clients or investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which may not be in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
In addition, there may be times when the Advisor, the members of its investment committee or its other investment professionals have interests that differ from those of the Company's shareholders, giving rise to a conflict of interest. Although the Advisor will endeavor to handle these investment and other decisions in a fair and equitable manner, the Company and its shareholders could be adversely affected by these decisions. Moreover, given the subjective nature of the investment and other decisions made by the Advisor on the Company's behalf, the Company is unable to monitor these potential conflicts of interest between the Company and the Advisor; however, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, will review conflicts of interest in connection with its review of the performance of the Advisor. As a BDC, the Company may also be prohibited under the 1940 Act from knowingly participating in certain transactions with its affiliates, including the Company's officers, trustees, investment adviser, principal underwriters and certain of their affiliates, without the prior approval of the members of board of trustees who are not interested persons and, in some cases, prior approval by the SEC through an exemptive order (other than pursuant to current regulatory guidance).

***The senior investment professionals and other Investment Team members of the Advisor may, from time to time, possess material non-public information, limiting the Company's investment discretion.***

The senior investment professionals and other Investment Team members of Advisor may serve as directors of, or in a similar capacity with, portfolio companies in which the Company invests, the securities of which are purchased or sold on the Company's behalf. Additionally, senior investment professionals and other Investment Team members of the Advisor may receive material non-public information in connection with investments the Advisor is considering for the Company, as well as those we are considering for other for other funds. In the event that material nonpublic information is obtained with respect to such companies, or the Company become subject to trading restrictions under the internal trading policies of those companies or as a result of applicable law or regulations, the Company could be prohibited for a period of time from purchasing or selling the securities of such companies, and this prohibition may have an adverse effect on the Company.

#### The Company's management and incentive fees may induce the Advisor to incur additional leverage.
Generally, the management and incentive fees payable by the Company to the Advisor may create an incentive for the Advisor to use the additional available leverage. For example, the fact that the base management fee that the Company will pay to the Advisor is payable based upon the Company's gross assets (which includes any borrowings for investment purposes) may encourage the Advisor to use leverage to make additional investments. Such a practice could result in the Company investing in more speculative securities than would otherwise be the case, which could result in higher investment losses, particularly during cyclical economic downturns. Under certain circumstances, the use of additional leverage may increase the likelihood of the Company's default on its borrowings, which would disfavor holders of the Common Shares.

In addition, because the incentive fee on net investment income is calculated as a percentage of the Company's net assets subject to a hurdle, having additional leverage available may encourage the Advisor to use leverage to increase the leveraged return on the Company's investment portfolio. To the extent additional leverage is available at favorable rates, the Advisor could use leverage to increase the size of the Company's investment portfolio to generate additional income, which may make it easier to meet the incentive fee hurdle.

The Board is charged with protecting the Company's interests by monitoring how the Advisor addresses these and other conflicts of interests associated with its management services and compensation. While the Board is not expected to review or approve each investment decision, borrowing or incurrence of leverage, the Independent Trustees will periodically review the Advisor's services and fees as well as its portfolio management decisions and portfolio performance. In connection with these reviews, the Independent Trustees will consider whether the Company's fees and expenses (including those related to leverage) remain appropriate.

#### The Company's incentive fee may induce the Advisor to make speculative investments.
The Company pays the Advisor an incentive fee based, in part, upon net capital gains realized on the Company's investments. Unlike that portion of the incentive fee based on income, there is no hurdle rate applicable to the portion of the incentive fee based on net capital gains. Additionally, under the incentive fee structure, the Advisor may benefit when capital gains are recognized and, because the Advisor will determine when to sell a holding, the Advisor will control the timing of the recognition of such capital gains. As a result, the Advisor may have a tendency to invest more capital in investments that are likely to result in capital gains as compared to income producing securities. Such a practice could result in the Company investing in more speculative securities than would otherwise be the case, which could result in higher investment losses, particularly during economic downturns.

#### The Company operates in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities, which could reduce returns and result in losses.
A number of entities compete with the Company to make the types of investments that the Company makes. The Company competes with public and private funds, commercial and investment banks, commercial financing companies and, to the extent they provide an alternative form of financing, private equity and hedge funds. Many of the Company's competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company. For example, the Company believes some of its competitors may have access to funding sources that are not available to it. In addition, some of its competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments and establish more relationships than the Company. Furthermore, many of the Company's competitors are not subject to the regulatory restrictions that the 1940 Act imposes on it as a BDC or the source-of-income, asset diversification and distribution requirements it must satisfy to qualify and maintain its qualification as a RIC. The competitive pressures the Company faces may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As a result of this competition, the Company may not be able to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities from time to time, and the Company may not be able to identify and make investments that are consistent with its investment objectives.

With respect to the investments the Company makes, the Company does not seek to compete based primarily on the interest rates it offers, and the Company believes that some of its competitors may make loans with interest rates that are lower than the rates it offers. The Company may lose some investment opportunities if it does not match its competitors' pricing, terms and structure. However, if the Company matches its competitors' pricing, terms and structure, it may experience decreased net interest income, lower yields and increased risk of credit loss. The Company may also compete for investment opportunities with investment funds, accounts and investment vehicles managed by the Advisor or its affiliates. Although the Advisor will allocate opportunities in accordance with its policies and procedures, and applicable laws and regulations, allocations to such investment funds, accounts and investment vehicles will reduce the amount and frequency of opportunities available to the Company and may not be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

***The Company will be subject to corporate-level income tax if it is unable to qualify and thereafter maintain its tax treatment as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.***

To qualify and thereafter maintain its tax treatment as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, the Company must meet certain source-of-income, asset diversification and distribution requirements. The distribution requirement for a RIC is satisfied if the Company distributes at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, if any, to its shareholders on an annual basis. Because the Company expects to incur debt, it will be subject to certain asset coverage ratio requirements under the 1940 Act and financial covenants under loan and credit agreements that could, under certain circumstances, restrict it from making distributions necessary to maintain its tax treatment as a RIC. If the Company is unable to obtain cash from other sources, it may fail to maintain its tax treatment as a RIC and, thus, may be subject to corporate-level income tax. To maintain its tax treatment as a RIC, the Company must also meet certain asset diversification requirements at the end of each calendar quarter. Failure to meet these tests may result in the Company having to dispose of certain investments quickly in order to prevent the loss of its tax treatment as a RIC. Because most of the Company's investments will be in private or thinly-traded public companies, any such dispositions may be made at disadvantageous prices and may result in substantial losses. No certainty can be provided that the Company will satisfy the asset diversification requirements or the other requirements necessary to maintain its tax treatment as a RIC. If it fails to maintain our tax treatment as a RIC for any reason and become subject to corporate income tax, the resulting corporate income taxes could substantially reduce its net assets, the amount of income available for distributions to its shareholders and the amount of funds available for new investments.

#### There may be potential adverse tax consequences as a result of the Company not being treated as a "publicly offered regulated investment company."
The Company does not expect to be treated as a "publicly offered regulated investment company". Until and unless the Company is treated as a "publicly offered regulated investment company" as a result of either (i) Common Shares being held by at least 500 persons at all times during a taxable year, (ii) Common Shares are continuously offered pursuant to a public offering (within the meaning of Section 4 of the Securities Act) or (iii) Common Shares being treated as regularly traded on an established securities market, each U.S. shareholder that is an individual, trust

or estate will be treated as having received a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes from the Company in the amount of such U.S. shareholder's allocable share of the management and incentive fees paid to the Advisor and certain of the Company's other expenses, and these fees and expenses will be treated as miscellaneous itemized deductions of such U.S. shareholder. For taxable years beginning before 2026, miscellaneous itemized deductions generally are not deductible by a U.S. shareholder that is an individual, trust or estate. For taxable years beginning in 2026 or later, miscellaneous itemized deductions are deductible only to the extent that the aggregate of such U.S. shareholder's miscellaneous itemized deductions exceeds 2% of such U.S. shareholder's adjusted gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, are not deductible for purposes of the alternative minimum tax and are subject to the overall limitation on itemized deductions under the Code.

***There may be potential adverse tax consequences for non-U.S. shareholders with respect to an investment in the Company in his, her or its jurisdiction of tax residence.***

Depending on (1) the laws of such non-U.S. shareholder's jurisdiction of tax residence, (2) how the Company is treated in such jurisdiction, and (3) the Company's activities, an investment in the Company could result in such non-U.S. shareholder recognizing adverse tax consequences in its jurisdiction of tax residence, including with respect to any generally required or additional tax filings and/or additional disclosure required in such filings in relation to the treatment for tax purposes in the relevant jurisdiction of an interest in the Company and/or of distributions from the Company and any uncertainties arising in that respect (the Company not being established under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction), the possibility of taxable income significantly in excess of cash distributed to a non-U.S. shareholder, and possibly in excess of the Company's actual economic income, the possibilities of losing deductions or the ability to utilize tax basis and of sums invested being returned in the form of taxable income or gains, and the possibility of being subject to tax at unfavorable tax rates. A non-U.S. shareholder could also be subject to restrictions on the use of its share of the Company's deductions and losses in its jurisdiction of tax residence. Each prospective investor is urged to consult its own tax advisers with respect to the tax and tax filing consequences, if any, in its jurisdiction of tax residence of an investment in the Company, as well as any other jurisdiction in which such prospective investor is subject to taxation.

#### Legislative or regulatory tax changes could have any adverse impact on the Company and its shareholders.
At any time, the federal income tax laws governing RICs or the administrative interpretations of those laws or regulations may be amended. The Biden Administration has announced a number of tax law proposals, some of which include increases in the corporate and individual tax rates, and impose a minimum tax on book income and profits of certain multinational corporations. Any new laws, regulations or interpretations may take effect retroactively and could adversely affect the taxation of the Company or its shareholders. Therefore, changes in tax laws, regulations or administrative interpretations or any amendments thereto could diminish the value of an investment in the Company's shares or the value or the resale potential of the Company's investments.

#### The Company may have difficulty paying its required distributions if it recognizes income before, or without, receiving cash representing such income.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company will include in income certain amounts that it has not yet received in cash, such as the accrual of original issue discount. This may arise if the Company receives warrants in connection with the making of a loan and in other circumstances, or through contracted PIK interest, which represents contractual interest added to the loan balance and due at the end of the loan term. Such original issue discount, which could be significant relative to its overall investment activities and increases in loan balances as a result of contracted PIK arrangements are included in income before it receives any corresponding cash payments. The Company also may be required to include in income certain other amounts that it will not receive in cash.

Since in certain cases the Company may recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income, the Company may have difficulty meeting the requirement to distribute at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, if any, to qualify and thereafter maintain its tax treatment as a RIC. In such a case, the Company may have to sell some of its investments at times it would not consider advantageous or raise additional debt or equity capital or reduce new investment originations to meet these distribution requirements. If the Company is not able to obtain such cash from other sources, it may fail to qualify and thereafter maintain its tax treatment as a RIC and thus be subject to corporate-level income tax.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
***PIK interest payments the Company receives will increase its assets under management and, as a result, will increase the amount of base management fees and incentive fees payable by the Company to the Advisor.***

Certain of the Company's debt investments may contain provisions providing for the payment of PIK interest. Because PIK interest results in an increase in the size of the loan balance of the underlying loan, the receipt by the Company of PIK interest will have the effect of increasing its assets under management. As a result, because the base management fee that the Company will pay to the Advisor is based on the value of the Company's gross assets, the receipt by the Company of PIK interest will result in an increase in the amount of the base management fee payable by the Company. In addition, any such increase in a loan balance due to the receipt of PIK interest will cause such loan to accrue interest on the higher loan balance, which will result in an increase in the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income and, as a result, an increase in incentive fees that are payable by the Company to the Advisor.

Additionally, the interest payments deferred on a PIK loan are subject to the risk that the borrower may default when the deferred payments are due in cash at the maturity of the loan. The interest rates on PIK loans are also higher to reflect the time-value of money on deferred interest payments and the higher credit risk of borrowers who may need to defer interest payments. Lastly, PIK instruments may have unreliable valuations because the accruals require judgments about ultimate collectability of the deferred payments and the value of the associated collateral.

***Regulations governing the Company's operation as a BDC affect its ability to, and the way in which it, raises additional capital. As a BDC, the necessity of raising additional capital may expose the Company to risks, including the typical risks associated with leverage.***

The Company may issue debt securities or preferred stock and/or borrow money from banks or other financial institutions, which the Company refers to collectively as "senior securities," up to the maximum amount permitted by the 1940 Act. Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Company is permitted as a BDC that has satisfied certain requirements to issue senior securities in amounts such that its asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 150% of its gross assets less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, after each issuance of senior securities. If the value of the Company's assets declines, it may be unable to satisfy this test. If that happens, the Company would not be able to borrow additional funds until it was able to comply with the 150% asset coverage ratio applicable to it under the 1940 Act. Also, any amounts that the Company uses to service its indebtedness would not be available for distributions to its shareholders. If the Company issues senior securities, it will be exposed to typical risks associated with leverage, including an increased risk of loss.

***Because the Company expects to finance its investments with borrowed money, the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested in the Company is magnified and may increase the risk of investing in the Company.***

The use of leverage magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested. The use of leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique and increases the risks associated with investing in the Common Shares. If the Company uses leverage to partially finance its investments through banks, insurance companies and other lenders, investors will experience increased risks of investing in the Common Shares. Lenders of these funds will have a fixed dollar claims on the Company's assets that would be superior to the claims of the Company's shareholders, and the Company would expect such lenders to seek recovery against its assets in the event of a default.

In addition, under the terms of any borrowing facility or other debt instrument that the Company may enter into, the Company is likely to be required to use the net proceeds of any investments that it sells to repay a portion of the amount borrowed under such facility or instrument before applying such net proceeds to any other uses. If the value of the Company's assets decreases, leveraging would cause net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had the Company not leveraged, thereby magnifying losses or eliminating its stake in a leveraged investment. Similarly, any decrease in the Company's revenue or income will cause its net income to decline more sharply than it would have had it not borrowed. Such a decline would also negatively affect its ability to make distributions with respect to the Common Shares. The Company's ability to service any debt depends largely on its financial performance and is subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures. Moreover, as the base management fee payable to the Advisor is payable based on the value of its gross assets, including those assets acquired through the use of leverage, the Advisor will have a financial incentive to incur leverage, which may not be consistent with its shareholders' interests. In addition, the Company's shareholders will bear the burden of any increase in its expenses as a result of its use of leverage, including interest expenses and any increase in the base management fee payable to the Advisor.

36<br>

------

The Company is generally required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings and other senior securities, which include all of its borrowings and any preferred stock that it may issue in the future, of at least 150%. If this ratio declines below 150%, the Company will not be able to incur additional debt until it is able to comply with the 150% asset coverage ratio applicable to it under the 1940 Act. This could have a material adverse effect on its operations, and the Company may not be able to make distributions. The amount of leverage that the Company employs will depend on the Advisor's and the Board's assessment of market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing. The Company cannot assure investors that it will be able to obtain credit at all or on terms acceptable to it.

In addition, the Company's future debt facilities may impose financial and operating covenants that restrict its business activities, including limitations that hinder its ability to finance additional loans and investments or to make the distributions required to qualify and maintain its qualification as a RIC under the Code.

***Substantially all of the Company's assets may be required to be subject to security interests under future debt financing arrangements and, if the Company defaults on its obligations thereunder, the Company may suffer adverse consequences, including foreclosure on its assets.***

Substantially all of the Company's assets may be required to be pledged as collateral under the Company's future financing arrangements. If the Company defaults on its obligations under such financing arrangements, the lenders may have the right to foreclose upon and sell, or otherwise transfer, the collateral subject to their security interests. In such event, the Company may be forced to sell its investments to raise funds to repay its outstanding borrowings to avoid foreclosure and these forced sales may be at times and at prices the Company would not consider advantageous. Moreover, such deleveraging of the Company could significantly impair its ability to effectively operate its business as previously planned. As a result, the Company could be forced to curtail or cease new investment activities and lower or eliminate the dividends paid to its shareholders.

***Because the Company expects to use debt to finance its investments and may in the future issue senior securities including preferred stock and debt securities, if market interest rates were to increase, its cost of capital could increase, which could reduce its net investment income.***

Because the Company expects borrow money to make investments and may in the future issue additional senior securities including preferred stock and debt securities, its net investment income will depend, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which it borrows funds and the rate at which it invests those funds. As a result, the Company can offer no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates would not have a material adverse effect on its net investment income in the event it uses debt to finance its investments. In periods of rising interest rates, the Company's cost of funds would increase, which could reduce its net investment income. The Company may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to limit its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company may utilize instruments such as forward contracts, currency options and interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors to seek to hedge against fluctuations in the relative values of its portfolio positions from changes in currency exchange rates and market interest rates to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act.

#### Provisions of any other future borrowing facility may limit the Company's discretion in operating its business.
Any future borrowing facility may be backed by all or a portion of the Company's loans and securities on which the lenders may have a security interest. The Company may pledge up to 100% of its assets and may grant a security interest in all of its assets under the terms of any debt instrument it enters into with lenders. The Company expects that any security interests it grants will be set forth in a guarantee and security agreement and evidenced by the filing of financing statements by the agent for the lenders. In addition, the Company expects that the custodian for its securities serving as collateral for such loan would include in its electronic systems notices indicating the existence of such security interests and, following notice of occurrence of an event of default, if any, and during its continuance, will only accept transfer instructions with respect to any such securities from the lender or its designee. If the Company were to default under the terms of any debt instrument, the agent for the applicable lenders would be able to assume control of the timing of disposition of any or all of the Company's assets securing such debt, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, any security interests as well as negative covenants under any future borrowing facility may limit the Company's ability to incur additional liens or debt and may make it difficult for it to restructure or refinance indebtedness at or prior to maturity or obtain additional debt or equity financing.

37<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
In addition, under any future borrowing facility, the Company may be subject to limitations as to how borrowed funds may be used, which may include restrictions on geographic and industry concentrations, loan size, payment frequency and status, average life, collateral interests and investment ratings, as well as regulatory restrictions on leverage which may affect the amount of funding that may be obtained. There may also be certain requirements relating to portfolio performance, including required minimum portfolio yield and limitations on delinquencies and charge-offs, a violation of which could limit further advances and, in some cases, result in an event of default. Furthermore, the Company expects that the terms of any future financing arrangement may contain a covenant requiring it to qualify and thereafter maintain compliance with RIC provisions at all times, subject to certain remedial provisions. Thus, a failure to maintain compliance with RIC provisions could result in an event of default under the financing arrangement. An event of default under any borrowing facility could result in an accelerated maturity date for all amounts outstanding thereunder, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. This could reduce the Company's revenues and, by delaying any cash payment allowed to it under any borrowing facility until the lenders have been paid in full, reduce the Company's liquidity and cash flow and impair its ability to grow its business and maintain its qualification as a RIC.

***The Company may in the future determine to fund a portion of its investments with preferred stock, which would magnify the potential for gain or loss and the risks of investing in the Company in the same way as borrowings.***

Preferred stock, which is another form of leverage, has the same risks to the Company's shareholders as borrowings because the dividends on any preferred stock the Company issues issue must be cumulative. Payment of such dividends and repayment of the liquidation preference of such preferred stock must take preference over any dividends or other payments to our common shareholders, and preferred shareholders are not subject to any of the Company's expenses or losses and are not entitled to participate in any income or appreciation in excess of their stated preference.

#### Adverse developments in the credit markets may impair the Company's ability to enter into any other future borrowing facility.
In past economic downturns, such as the financial crisis in the United States that began in mid-2007 and during other times of extreme market volatility, many commercial banks and other financial institutions stopped lending or significantly curtailed their lending activity. In addition, in an effort to stem losses and reduce their exposure to segments of the economy deemed to be high risk, some financial institutions limited routine refinancing and loan modification transactions and even reviewed the terms of existing facilities to identify bases for accelerating the maturity of existing lending facilities. If these conditions recur, it may be difficult for the Company to obtain desired financing to finance the growth of its investments on acceptable economic terms, or at all.

If the Company is unable to consummate credit facilities on commercially reasonable terms, its liquidity may be reduced significantly. If the Company is unable to repay amounts outstanding under any facility it may enter into and is declared in default or is unable to renew or refinance any such facility, it would limit the Company's ability to initiate significant originations or to operate its business in the normal course. These situations may arise due to circumstances that the Company may be unable to control, such as inaccessibility of the credit markets, a severe decline in the value of the U.S. dollar, a further economic downturn or an operational problem that affects third parties or the Company and could materially damage its business. Moreover, the Company is unable to predict when economic and market conditions may become more favorable. Even if such conditions improve broadly and significantly over the long term, adverse conditions in particular sectors of the financial markets could adversely impact the Company's business.

***Most of the Company's portfolio investments will be recorded at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor, the valuation designee of the Board, and, as a result, there may be uncertainty as to the value of the Company's portfolio investments.***

Most of the Company's portfolio investments will take the form of securities that are not publicly traded. The fair value of loans, securities and other investments that are not publicly traded may not be readily determinable, and, in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Company values these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor, the valuation designee of the Board (the "Valuation Designee"). The Company has retained an external, independent valuation firm to provide data and valuation analyses on the Company's portfolio companies.

38<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
The Company's investment portfolio is recorded at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures established by the Board ("Valuation Policy") and, as a result, there is and will be uncertainty as to the value of the Company's portfolio investments. Under the 1940 Act, the Company is required to carry its portfolio investments at market value or, if there is no readily available market value, at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by the Board. There is not a public market or active secondary market for many of the types of investments in privately held companies that the Company intends to hold and make. The Company's investments may not be publicly traded or actively traded on a secondary market but, instead, may be traded on a privately negotiated over-the-counter secondary market for institutional investors, if at all. As a result, these investments are valued monthly at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with the Valuation Policy approved by the Board. The determinations of fair value in accordance with the Valuation Policy approved by the Board may differ materially from the values that would have been used if an active market and market quotations existed for such investments. The Company's net asset value could be adversely affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of the investments were materially higher than the values that the Company ultimately realizes upon the disposal of such investments. See "*Item 1. Business – Determination of Net Asset Value*" for more information.

#### The Company may expose itself to risks if it engages in hedging transactions.
The Company may utilize instruments such as forward contracts, currency options and interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors to seek to hedge against fluctuations in the relative values of its portfolio positions from changes in currency exchange rates and market interest rates. Use of these hedging instruments may expose us to counter-party credit risk. Hedging against a decline in the values of its portfolio positions does not eliminate the possibility of fluctuations in the values of such positions or prevent losses if the values of such positions decline. However, such hedging can establish other positions designed to gain from those same developments, thereby offsetting the decline in the value of such portfolio positions. Such hedging transactions may also limit the opportunity for gain if the values of the portfolio positions should increase. Moreover, it may not be possible to hedge against an exchange rate or interest rate fluctuation that is generally anticipated at an acceptable price.

#### The Company and its portfolio companies may be subjected to potential adverse effects of new or modified laws or regulations.
The Company and its portfolio companies are subject to regulation at the local, state, federal and, in some cases, foreign levels. These laws and regulations, as well as their interpretation, are likely to change from time to time, and new laws and regulations may be enacted. Accordingly, any change in these laws or regulations, changes in their interpretation, or newly enacted laws or regulations, or any failure by the Company or its portfolio companies to comply with these laws or regulations, could require changes to certain of the Company's or its portfolio companies' business practices, negatively impact the Company's or its portfolio companies' operations, cash flows or financial condition, impose additional costs on the Company or its portfolio companies or otherwise adversely affect the Company's business or the business of its portfolio companies. In addition to the legal, tax and regulatory changes that are expected to occur, there may be unanticipated changes. The legal, tax and regulatory environment for BDCs, investment advisers and the instruments that they utilize (including derivative instruments) is continuously evolving.

Over the last several years, there also has been an increase in regulatory attention to the extension of credit outside of the traditional banking sector, raising the possibility that some portion of the non-bank financial sector will be subject to new regulation. While it cannot be known at this time whether any regulation will be implemented or what form it will take, increased regulation of non-bank credit extension could negatively impact the Company's operations, cash flows or financial condition, impose additional costs on the Company, intensify the regulatory supervision of the Company or otherwise adversely affect the Company's business.

#### The Company may incur significant costs as a result of being an Exchange Act reporting company.
As an Exchange Act reporting company, the Company will incur legal, accounting and other expenses, including costs associated with the periodic reporting requirements applicable to a company whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, as well as additional corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC.

#### Risks Related to the Company's Operations
***Because the Company intends to distribute substantially all of its income to its shareholders to obtain and maintain our status as a RIC, it will continue to need additional capital to finance its growth. If additional funds are unavailable or not available on favorable terms, its ability to grow may be impaired.***

The Company will need additional capital to fund new investments and grow its portfolio of investments. The Company intends to access the capital markets periodically to issue debt or equity securities or borrow from financial institutions in order to obtain such additional capital. Unfavorable economic conditions could increase its funding costs, limit its access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Company. A reduction in the availability of new capital could limit the Company's ability to grow. In addition, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, if any, to its shareholders to qualify and thereafter maintain its qualification as a RIC. As a result, these earnings will not be available to fund new investments. An inability on the Company's part to access the capital markets successfully could limit its ability to grow its business and execute its business strategy fully and could decrease its earnings, if any.

The Company is required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets, less liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities to total senior securities, which includes all of the Company's borrowings, of at least 150%. This requirement limits the amount that the Company may borrow. Since the Company continues to need capital to grow its investment portfolio, these limitations may prevent it from incurring debt and require it to raise additional equity at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. While the Company expects that it will be able to borrow and to issue additional debt securities and expects that it will be able to issue additional equity securities, which would in turn increase the equity capital available to the Company, it cannot assure investors that debt and equity financing will be available to it on favorable terms, or at all. If additional funds are not available the Company, it may be forced to curtail or cease new investment activities, and its net asset value could decline.

#### The Company's ability to enter into certain transactions with its affiliates is restricted, which may limit the scope of investments available to the Company.
The Company is prohibited under the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactions with its affiliates without the prior approval of the Independent Trustees and, in some cases, the SEC. Any person that owns, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of its outstanding voting securities will be its affiliate for purposes of the 1940 Act, and the Company is generally prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to such affiliate without the prior approval of the Independent Trustees. The 1940 Act also prohibits certain "joint" transactions with certain of its affiliates, which could include concurrent investments in the same portfolio company, without prior approval of the Independent Trustees and, in some cases, of the SEC. The Company is prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to any person that controls its or who owns more than 25% of its voting securities or certain of that person's affiliates, or entering into prohibited joint transactions with such persons, absent the prior approval of the SEC.

The Advisor has applied for an exemptive order from the SEC that will permit the Company, among other things, to co-invest with certain other persons, including certain affiliates of the Advisor and certain funds managed and controlled by the Advisor and its affiliates, subject to certain terms and conditions. There is no assurance that the co-investment exemptive order will be granted by the SEC. Pursuant to such order, the Board may establish Board Criteria clearly defining co-investment opportunities in which the Company will have the opportunity to participate with other public or private Kennedy Lewis funds that target similar assets. If an investment falls within the Board Criteria, Kennedy Lewis must offer an opportunity for the Company to participate. The Company may determine to participate or not to participate, depending on whether the Advisor determines that the investment is appropriate for the Company (*e.g.*, based on investment strategy). The co-investment would generally be allocated to the Company and the other Kennedy Lewis funds that target similar assets *pro rata* based on available capital in the asset class being allocated. If the Advisor determines that such investment is not appropriate for the Company, the investment will not be allocated to the Company, but the Advisor will be required to report such investment and the rationale for its determination for us to not participate in the investment to the Board at the next quarterly board meeting.

***The time and resources that the Investment Team devotes to the Company may be diverted, and the Company may face additional competition due to the fact that the Investment Team is not prohibited from raising money for, or managing, another entity that makes the same types of investments that the Company targets.***

Kennedy Lewis may raise money for, or manage, another investment entity that makes the same types of investments as those the Company targets. As a result, the time and resources the Investment Team could devote to the Company may be diverted. In addition, the Company may compete with any such investment entity for the same investors and investment opportunities.

***The Company's incentive fee arrangements with the Advisor may vary from those of other investment funds, account or investment vehicles managed by the Advisor, which may create an incentive for the Investment Team to devote time and resources to a higher fee-paying fund.***

If the Advisor is paid a higher performance-based fee from any of its other funds, it may have an incentive to devote more research and development or other activities, and/or recommend the allocation of investment opportunities, to such higher fee-paying fund. For example, to the extent the Advisor's incentive compensation is not subject to a hurdle or an income incentive fee cap with respect to another fund, it may have an incentive to devote time and resources to such other fund.

***The Advisor's liability is limited under the Advisory Agreement and the Company has agreed to indemnify the Advisor against certain liabilities, which may lead the Advisor to act in a riskier manner on the Company's behalf than it would when acting for its own account.***

Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor has not assumed any responsibility to the Company other than to render the services called for under that agreement. It will not be responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow the Advisor's advice or recommendations. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor, its officers, members and personnel, and any person controlling or controlled by the Advisor will not be liable to the Company, any of its subsidiaries, its trustees, its shareholders or any subsidiary's shareholders or partners for acts or omissions performed in accordance with and pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, except those resulting from acts constituting gross negligence, willful misfeasance, bad faith or reckless disregard of the duties that the Advisor owes to the Company under the Advisory Agreement. In addition, as part of the Advisory Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Advisor and each of its officers, directors, members, managers and employees from and against any claims or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred, arising out of or in connection with the Company's business and operations or any action taken or omitted on the Company's behalf pursuant to authority granted by the Advisory Agreement, except where attributable to gross negligence, willful misfeasance, bad faith or reckless disregard of such person's duties under the Advisory Agreement. These protections may lead the Advisor to act in a riskier manner when acting on the Company's behalf than it would when acting for its own account.

***The Advisor can resign as our investment adviser or administrator, respectively, upon 60 days' notice and the Company may not be able to find a suitable replacement within that time, or at all, resulting in a disruption in its operations that could adversely affect its financial condition, business and results of operations.***

The Advisor has the right under the Advisory Agreement to resign as the Company's investment adviser at any time upon 60 days' written notice, whether the Company has found a replacement or not. Similarly, the Administrator has the right under the Administration Agreement to resign at any time upon 60 days' written notice, whether the Company has found a replacement or not. If Kennedy Lewis were to resign as the Advisor or the Administrator, the Company may not be able to find a new investment adviser or administrator, respectively or hire internal management with similar expertise and ability to provide the same or equivalent services on acceptable terms within 60 days, or at all. If the Company is unable to do so quickly, its operations are likely to experience a disruption, its financial condition, business and results of operations as well as its ability to pay distributions to its shareholders are likely to be adversely affected. Even if the Company is able to retain comparable management, whether internal or external, the integration of such management and their lack of familiarity with the Company's investment objectives may result in additional costs and time delays that may adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

#### The Company may experience fluctuations in its annual and quarterly operating results.
The Company could experience fluctuations in its annual and quarterly operating results due to a number of factors, including the interest rate payable on the loans and debt securities it acquires, the default rate on such loans

41<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
and securities, the level of its expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which the Company encounters competition in its markets and general economic conditions. In light of these factors, results for any period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods.

#### The Board may change the Company's investment objectives, operating policies and strategies without prior notice or shareholder approval.
The Board has the authority, except as otherwise provided in the 1940 Act, to modify or waive the Company's operating policies and strategies without prior notice and without shareholder approval. However, absent shareholder approval, the Company may not change the nature of its business so as to cease to be, or withdraw its election as, a BDC. The Company cannot predict the effect any changes to its current operating policies and strategies would have on its business or operating results. Nevertheless, any such changes could adversely affect its business and impair its ability to make distributions to its shareholders.

#### The Company is highly dependent on information systems and systems failures could significantly disrupt its business, which may, in turn, negatively affect the Company.
The Company's business is highly dependent on the communications and information systems of the Advisor. In addition, certain of these systems are provided to the Advisor by third-party service providers. Any failure or interruption of such systems, including as a result of the termination of an agreement with any such third-party service provider, could cause delays or other problems in the Company's activities. This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results and negatively affect the Company.

***The failure in cyber security systems, as well as the occurrence of events unanticipated in the Company's disaster recovery systems and management continuity planning could impair its ability to conduct business effectively.***

The occurrence of a disaster, such as a cyber-attack against the Company or against a third-party that has access to the Company's data or networks, a natural catastrophe, an industrial accident, failure of our disaster recovery systems, or consequential employee error, could have an adverse effect on its ability to communicate or conduct business, negatively impacting its operations and financial condition. This adverse effect can become particularly acute if those events affect the Company's electronic data processing, transmission, storage, and retrieval systems, or impact the availability, integrity, or confidentiality of its data.

The Company depends heavily upon computer systems to perform necessary business functions. Despite its implementation of a variety of security measures, the Company's computer systems, networks, and data, like those of other companies, could be subject to cyber-attacks and unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, such as from physical and electronic break-ins or unauthorized tampering, malware and computer virus attacks, or system failures and disruptions. If one or more of these events occurs, it could potentially jeopardize the confidential, proprietary, and other information processed, stored in, and transmitted through our computer systems and networks. Such an attack could cause interruptions or malfunctions in the Company's operations, which could result in financial losses, litigation, regulatory penalties, client dissatisfaction or loss, reputational damage, and increased costs associated with mitigation of damages and remediation.

Third parties with which the Company does business may also be sources of cybersecurity or other technological risks. The Company outsources certain functions, and these relationships allow for the storage and processing of its information, as well as customer, counterparty, employee and borrower information. Cybersecurity failures or breaches by the Advisor and other service providers (including, but not limited to, accountants, custodians, transfer agents and administrators), and the issuers of securities in which the Company invests, also have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Company's ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of its shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputation damages, reimbursement of other compensation costs, or additional compliance costs. While the Company engages in actions to reduce its exposure resulting from outsourcing, ongoing threats may result in unauthorized access, loss, exposure or destruction of data, or other cybersecurity incidents, with increased costs and other consequences, including those described above. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future.

Privacy and information security laws and regulation changes, and compliance with those changes, may result in cost increases due to system changes and the development of new administrative processes. In addition, the

Company may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify its protective measures and to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures arising from operational and security risks. The Company currently does not maintain insurance coverage relating to cybersecurity risks, and it may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify its protective measures or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures, and the Company may be subject to litigation and financial losses that are not fully insured.

#### The Company, the Advisor and the Company's portfolio companies are subject to risks associated with "phishing" and other cyber-attacks.
The Company's business and the business of its portfolio companies relies upon secure information technology systems for data processing, storage and reporting. Despite careful security and controls design, implementation and updating, the Company's and its portfolio companies' information technology systems could become subject to cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems (e.g., through "hacking", malicious software coding, social engineering or "phishing" attempts) for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyber-attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of service attacks on websites (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users). The Advisor's employees have been and expect to continue to be the target of fraudulent calls, emails and other forms of activities. The result of these incidents may include disrupted operations, misstated or unreliable financial data, liability for stolen information, misappropriation of assets, increased cybersecurity protection and insurance costs, litigation and damage to our business relationships, regulatory fines or penalties, or other adverse effects on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, the Company may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify its protective measures and to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures arising from operational and security risks related to cyber-attacks.

The Advisor's and other service providers' increased use of mobile and cloud technologies could heighten the risk of a cyber-attack as well as other operational risks, as certain aspects of the security of such technologies may be complex, unpredictable or beyond their control. These service providers' reliance on mobile or cloud technology or any failure by mobile technology and cloud service providers to adequately safeguard their systems and prevent cyber-attacks could disrupt their operations and result in misappropriation, corruption or loss of personal, confidential or proprietary information. In addition, there is a risk that encryption and other protective measures against cyber-attacks may be circumvented, particularly to the extent that new computing technologies increase the speed and computing power available.

Additionally, remote working environments may be less secure and more susceptible to cyber-attacks, including phishing and social engineering attempts. Accordingly, the risks associated with cyber-attacks are heightened under current conditions.

#### Risks Related to Economic Conditions

#### Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition, including its revenue growth and profitability.
The current worldwide financial market situation, as well as various social and political tensions in the United States and around the world, may contribute to increased market volatility, may have long-term effects on the United States and worldwide financial markets and may cause economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide. The impact of downgrades by rating agencies to the U.S. government's sovereign credit rating or its perceived creditworthiness as well as potential government shutdowns could adversely affect the U.S. and global financial markets and economic conditions.

***Further downgrades of the U.S. credit rating, impending automatic spending cuts, another government shutdown or a failure to raise the statutory debt limit of the United States could negatively impact the Company's liquidity, financial condition and earnings.***

U.S. debt ceiling and budget deficit concerns have increased the possibility of additional credit-rating downgrades and economic slowdowns, or a recession in the United States. Although U.S. lawmakers passed legislation to raise the federal debt ceiling on multiple occasions, ratings agencies have lowered or threatened to lower the long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States.

The impact of this or any further downgrades to the U.S. government's sovereign credit rating or its perceived creditworthiness could adversely affect the U.S. and global financial markets and economic conditions. Absent

43<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
further quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve, these developments could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may negatively impact the Company's ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms. In addition, disagreement over the federal budget has caused the U.S. federal government to shut down for periods of time. Continued adverse political and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

#### Risks Related to the Company's Investments

#### Economic recessions or downturns could impair the Company's portfolio companies, which would harm the Company's operating results.
Many of the portfolio companies in which the Company invests are likely to be susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions and may be unable to repay the Company's loans during such periods. Therefore, the number of the Company's non-performing assets is likely to increase, and the value of its portfolio is likely to decrease during such periods. Adverse economic conditions may decrease the value of collateral securing some of its loans and debt securities and the value of its equity investments. Economic slowdowns or recessions could lead to financial losses in its portfolio and a decrease in revenues, net income and assets. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase the Company's funding costs, limit its access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Company. These events could prevent the Company from increasing its investments and harm its operating results.

A portfolio company's failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by the Company or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially, termination of its loans and foreclosure on its assets, which could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize its portfolio company's ability to meet its obligations under the loans and debt securities that the Company holds. The Company may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting portfolio company. In addition, lenders in certain cases can be subject to lender liability claims for actions taken by them when they become too involved in the borrower's business or exercise control over a borrower. It is possible that the Company could become subject to a lender's liability claim, including as a result of actions taken if the Company renders significant managerial assistance to the borrower. Furthermore, if one of the Company's portfolio companies were to file for bankruptcy protection, a bankruptcy court might re-characterize the Company's debt holding and subordinate all or a portion of its claim to claims of other creditors, even though the Company may have structured its investment as senior secured debt. The likelihood of such a re-characterization would depend on the facts and circumstances, including the extent to which the Company provided managerial assistance to that portfolio company.

#### The Company's investments in leveraged portfolio companies may be risky, and it could lose all or part of its investment.
Investment in leveraged companies involves a number of significant risks. Leveraged companies in which the Company invests may have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet their obligations under their loans and debt securities. Such developments may be accompanied by a deterioration in the value of any collateral and a reduction in the likelihood of the Company realizing any guarantees that it may have obtained in connection with our investment. Smaller leveraged companies also may have less predictable operating results and may require substantial additional capital to support their operations, finance their expansion or maintain their competitive position.

***The Company may hold the loans and debt securities of leveraged companies that may, due to the significant operating volatility typical of such companies, enter into bankruptcy proceedings.***

Leveraged companies may experience bankruptcy or similar financial distress. The bankruptcy process has a number of significant inherent risks. Many events in a bankruptcy proceeding are the product of contested matters and adversary proceedings and are beyond the control of the creditors. A bankruptcy filing by a portfolio company may adversely and permanently affect that company. If the proceeding is converted to a liquidation, the value of the portfolio company may not equal the liquidation value that was believed to exist at the time of the investment. The duration of a bankruptcy proceeding is also difficult to predict, and a creditor's return on investment can be adversely affected by delays until the plan of reorganization or liquidation ultimately becomes effective. The administrative costs in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding are frequently high and would be paid out of the debtor's estate prior to any return to creditors. Because the standards for classification of claims under bankruptcy law are vague, the Company's influence with respect to the class of securities or other obligations it owns may be lost by increases

44<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
in the number and amount of claims in the same class or by different classification and treatment. In the early stages of the bankruptcy process, it is often difficult to estimate the extent of, or even to identify, any contingent claims that might be made. In addition, certain claims that have priority by law (for example, claims for taxes) may be substantial.

#### The Company's investments in private and middle market portfolio companies are risky, and it could lose all or part of its investment.
Investment in private and middle-market companies involves a number of significant risks. Generally, little public information exists about these companies, and the Company relies on the ability of the Advisor's investment professionals to obtain adequate information to evaluate the potential returns from investing in these companies. If the Company is unable to uncover all material information about these companies, it may not make a fully informed investment decision, and it may lose money on its investments. Middle-market companies may have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet their obligations under their loans and debt securities that the Company holds, which may be accompanied by a deterioration in the value of any collateral and a reduction in the likelihood of the Company realizing any guarantees it may have obtained in connection with its investment. In addition, such companies typically have shorter operating histories, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses, which tend to render them more vulnerable to competitors' actions and market conditions, as well as general economic downturns. Additionally, middle-market companies are more likely to depend on the management talents and efforts of a small group of persons. Therefore, the death, disability, resignation or termination of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse impact on one or more of the Company's portfolio companies and, in turn, on the Company. Middle-market companies also may be parties to litigation and may be engaged in rapidly changing businesses with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence. In addition, the Company's executive officers, trustees and investment adviser may, in the ordinary course of business, be named as defendants in litigation arising from its investments in portfolio companies.

#### The lack of liquidity in the Company's investments may adversely affect its business.
Most of the Company's assets will be invested in illiquid loans and securities, and a substantial portion of its investments in leveraged companies will be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise be less liquid than more broadly traded public securities. The illiquidity of these investments may make it difficult for the Company to sell such investments if the need arises. In addition, if the Company is required to liquidate all or a portion of its portfolio quickly, the Company may realize significantly less than the value at which it has previously recorded the investments.

#### The Company will be subject to credit, liquidity and interest rate risks.
The Company will invest in notes, bonds or other fixed income securities, which may include, without limitation, notes, bonds and debentures issued by corporations, government issued or guaranteed debt securities, commercial paper and "higher-yielding" (including non-investment grade) and, therefore, higher risk debt securities. The Company will therefore be subject to credit, liquidity and interest rate risks.

Generally, the value of fixed income securities will change inversely with changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the market value of fixed income securities tends to decrease. Conversely, as interest rates fall, the market value of fixed income securities tends to increase. This risk will be greater for long- term securities than for short-term securities. The Company may attempt to minimize the exposure of the portfolios to interest rate changes through the use of interest rate swaps, interest rate futures and/or interest rate options. However, there can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in fully mitigating the impact of interest rate changes.

Higher-yielding debt securities are generally unsecured and may be subordinated to certain other outstanding securities and obligations of the issuer, which may be secured on substantially all of the issuer's assets. The lower rating of debt obligations in the higher-yielding sector reflects a greater probability that adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuer or in general economic conditions or both may impair the ability of the issuer to make payments of principal and interest. Non-investment grade debt securities may not be protected by financial covenants or limitations on additional indebtedness. In addition, evaluating credit risk for debt securities involves uncertainty because credit rating agencies throughout the world have different standards, making comparison across countries difficult. Also, the market for credit spreads is often inefficient and illiquid, making it difficult to accurately calculate discounting spreads for valuing financial instruments. It is likely that a major economic recession could disrupt

45<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
severely the market for such securities and may have an adverse impact on the value of such securities. In addition, it is likely that any such economic downturn could adversely affect the ability of the issuers of such securities to repay principal and pay interest thereon and increase the incidence of default for such securities.

***The Company's investments in loan interests may be difficult to value, have extended settlement periods and expose the Company to the risk of delayed receipt of principal and interest payments.***

Loan interests generally are subject to restrictions on transfer, and the Company may be unable to sell loan interests at a time when it may otherwise be desirable to do so or may be able to sell them only at prices that are less than what the Advisor regards as their fair market value. Accordingly, loan interests may at times be illiquid. Loan interests may be difficult to value and may have extended settlement periods, which expose the Company to the risk that the receipt of principal and interest payments may be delayed until the loan interest settles.

Interests in secured loans have the benefit of collateral and, typically, of restrictive covenants limiting the ability of the borrower to further encumber its assets. There is a risk that the value of any collateral securing a loan in which the Company has an interest may decline and that the collateral may not be sufficient to cover the amount owed on the loan. In most loan agreements there is no formal requirement to pledge additional collateral. In the event the borrower defaults, the Company's access to the collateral may be limited or delayed by bankruptcy or other insolvency laws. Further, in the event of a default, second lien secured loans will generally be paid only if the value of the collateral exceeds the amount of the borrower's obligations to the first lien secured lenders, and the remaining collateral may not be sufficient to cover the full amount owed on the loan in which the Company has an interest. In addition, if a secured loan is foreclosed, the Company would likely bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. The collateral may be difficult to sell and the Company would bear the risk that the collateral may decline in value while the Company is holding it.

The Company may acquire a loan interest by obtaining an assignment of all or a portion of the interests in a particular loan that are held by an original lender or a prior assignee. As an assignee, the Company normally will succeed to all rights and obligations of its assignor with respect to the portion of the loan that is being assigned. However, the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of a loan assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the original lenders or the assignor.

Alternatively, the Company may acquire a participation interest in a loan that is held by another party. When the Company's loan interest is a participation, the Company may have less control over the exercise of remedies than the party selling the participation interest, and it normally would not have any direct rights against the borrower. As a participant, the Company also would be subject to the risk that the party selling the participation interest would not remit the Company's *pro rata* share of loan payments to the Company. It may be difficult for the Company to obtain an accurate picture of a lending bank's financial condition.

Loan interests may not be considered "securities," and purchasers, such as the Company, therefore may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections of U.S. federal securities laws.

#### The Company may invest in syndicated loans, which limits the Company's available remedies against the borrower and may expose the Company to third-party risk.
The Company may invests in loans and participations therein originated by banks and other financial institutions. These investments may include highly leveraged loans to borrowers whose credit is rated below investment grade. Such loans are typically private corporate loans that are negotiated by one or more commercial banks or financial institutions and syndicated among a group of commercial banks and financial institutions. In order to induce the lenders to extend credit and to offer a favorable interest rate, the borrower often provides the lenders with extensive information about its business that is not generally available to the public. To the extent that the Company obtains such information and it is material and non-public, the Company will be unable to trade in the securities of the borrower until the information is disclosed to the public or otherwise ceases to be material, non-public information.

The Company may acquire interests in bank loans and other debt obligations either directly (by way of sale or assignment) or indirectly (by way of participation). The purchaser of an assignment typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the assigning institution and becomes a lender under the credit agreement with respect to the debt obligation; however, its rights can be more restricted than those of the assigning institution. A participation interest in a portion of a debt obligation typically results in a contractual relationship with only the institution acting as a

46<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
lender under the credit agreement, not with the borrower. As a holder of a participation interest, the Company generally will have no right to exercise the rights of the lender under the credit agreement, including the right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement, approve amendments or waivers of terms, nor will the Company have any rights of set-off against the borrower, and the Company may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the debt obligation in which it has purchased the participation. As a result, the Company will be exposed to the credit risk of both the borrower and the institution selling the participation.

***The Company may invest in structured products, which entails various risks, including credit risks, liquidity risks, interest rate risks, market risks, operations risks, structural risks, geographical concentration risks, basis risks and legal risks.***

The Company may invest in securities backed by, or representing interests in, certain underlying instruments or assets ("structured products"). The cash flow on the underlying instruments or assets of structured products may be apportioned among the structured products to create securities with different investment characteristics such as varying maturities, payment priorities and interest rate provisions, and the extent of the payments made with respect to the structured products is dependent on the extent of the cash flow on the underlying instruments. The performance of structured products will be affected by a variety of factors, including the availability of any credit enhancement, the level and timing of payments and recoveries on and the characteristics of the underlying receivables, loans or other assets that are being securitized, remoteness of those assets from the originator or transferor, the adequacy of and ability to realize upon any related collateral and the capability of the servicer of the securitized assets. Investing in structured products entails various risks, including credit risks, including the significant credit risks inherent in the underlying collateral, liquidity risks, interest rate risks, market risks, operations risks, structural risks, geographical concentration risks, basis risks and legal risks.

Structured products are typically sold in private placement transactions, and investments in structured products may therefore be illiquid in nature, with no readily available secondary market. Because certain structured products of the type in which the Company may invest may involve no credit enhancement, the credit risk of those structured products generally would be equivalent to that of the underlying instruments. The Company may invest in a class of structured products that is either subordinated or unsubordinated to the right of payment of another class. Subordinated structured products typically have higher yields and present greater risks than unsubordinated structured products.

Structured products are also subject to the risks of the assets securitized. In particular, they are subject to risks related to the quality of the control systems and procedures used by the parties originating and servicing the securitized assets. Deficiencies in these systems may negatively affect the value of the securities, including by resulting in higher-than-expected borrower delinquencies or the inability to effectively pursue remedies against borrowers due to defective documentation.

Additionally, the yield to maturity of a tranche may be extremely sensitive to the rate of defaults in the underlying reference portfolio. A rapid change in the rate of defaults may have a material adverse effect on the yield to maturity. It is therefore possible that the Company may incur losses on its investments in structured products regardless of their original credit profile. Finally, the securities in which the Company is authorized to invest include securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on their resale or for which there is a relatively inactive trading market. Securities subject to resale restrictions may sell at a price lower than similar securities that are not subject to such restrictions.

***The Company may invest in covenant-lite loans, which may expose the Company to different risks, including with respect liquidity, price volatility and ability to restructure loans.***

Although the Company generally expects the transaction documentation of some portion of the Company's investments to include covenants and other structural protections, a portion of the Company's investments may be composed of so-called "covenant-lite loans." Generally, covenant-lite loans either do not have certain maintenance covenants that would require the issuer to maintain debt service or other financial ratios or do not contain common restrictions on the ability of the issuer to change significantly its operations or to enter into other significant transactions that could affect its ability to repay such loans. Ownership of covenant-lite loans may expose the Company to different risks, including with respect to liquidity, price volatility and ability to restructure loans, than is the case with loans that have financial maintenance covenants. As a result, the Company's exposure to losses may be increased, which could result in an adverse impact on the issuer's ability to comply with its obligations under the loan.

47<br>

***Price declines and illiquidity in the corporate debt markets may adversely affect the fair value of the Company's portfolio investments, reducing its net asset value through increased net unrealized depreciation.***

As a BDC, the Company is required to carry its investments at market value or, if no market value is ascertainable, at fair value. As part of the valuation process, the Advisor may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of its investments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• applicable market yields and multiples;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• security covenants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• call protection provisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• information rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the nature and realizable value of any collateral;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows and the markets in which it does business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• comparable merger and acquisition transactions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the principal market and enterprise values.

When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Advisor uses the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate its valuation. The Advisor records decreases in the market values or fair values of its investments as unrealized depreciation. Declines in prices and liquidity in the corporate debt markets may result in significant net unrealized depreciation in the Company's portfolio. The effect of all of these factors on its portfolio may reduce the Company's net asset value by increasing net unrealized depreciation in its portfolio. Depending on market conditions, the Company could incur substantial realized losses and may suffer additional unrealized losses in future periods, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

#### The Company's failure to make follow-on investments in its portfolio companies could impair the value of its portfolio.
Following an initial investment in a portfolio company, the Company may make additional investments in that portfolio company as "follow-on" investments, in seeking to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase or maintain in whole or in part our position as a creditor or equity ownership percentage in a portfolio company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exercise warrants, options or convertible securities that were acquired in the original or subsequent financing; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• preserve or enhance the value of our investment.

The Company has discretion to make follow-on investments, subject to the availability of capital resources. Failure on its part to make follow-on investments may, in some circumstances, jeopardize the continued viability of a portfolio company and its initial investment, or may result in a missed opportunity for it to increase its participation in a successful operation. Even if it has sufficient capital to make a desired follow-on investment, the Company may elect not to make a follow-on investment because it may not want to increase its level of risk, because it prefers other opportunities or because it is inhibited by compliance with the requirements of the 1940 Act or the desire to qualify or maintain its qualification as a RIC.

***Because the Company generally does not hold controlling equity interests in portfolio companies, the Company may not be able to exercise control over its portfolio companies or to prevent decisions by management of its portfolio companies that could decrease the value of its investments.***

The Company will not generally hold controlling equity positions in any of portfolio companies. As a result, the Company is subject to the risk that a portfolio company may make business decisions with which it disagrees, and

that the management and/or shareholders of a portfolio company may take risks or otherwise act in ways that are adverse to the Company's interests. Due to the lack of liquidity of the debt and equity investments that the Company holds in its portfolio companies, it may not be able to dispose of its investments in the event it disagrees with the actions of a portfolio company and may therefore suffer a decrease in the value of its investments.

#### Defaults by the Company's portfolio companies will harm its operating results.
A portfolio company's failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by the Company or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially, termination of its loans and foreclosure on its assets. This could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize such portfolio company's ability to meet its obligations to the Company under the loans or debt or equity securities held by it. The Company may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms, which may include the waiver of certain financial covenants, with a defaulting portfolio company.

#### Prepayments of the Company's debt investments by its portfolio companies could adversely impact its results of operations and ability to make shareholder distributions.
The Company is subject to the risk that the debt investments it makes in portfolio companies may be repaid prior to maturity. The Company expects that its investments will generally allow for repayment at any time subject to certain penalties. When this occurs, the Company intends to generally reinvest these proceeds in temporary investments, pending their future investment in accordance with its investment strategy. These temporary investments will typically have substantially lower yields than the debt being prepaid, and the Company could experience significant delays in reinvesting these amounts. Any future investment may also be at lower yields than the debt that was repaid. As a result, the Company's results of operations could be materially adversely affected if one or more of the Company's portfolio companies elects to prepay amounts owed to it. Additionally, prepayments could negatively impact the Company's ability to make, or the amount of, shareholder distributions with respect to the holders of Common Shares.

#### The transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and changes in interest rates may affect the Company's net investment income.
The Company's debt investments may be based on floating rates, such as the LIBOR, EURIBOR, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate. General interest rate fluctuations may have a substantial negative impact on the Company's investments, the value of its interests and the rate of return on invested capital. The Company's floating rate investments may be linked to LIBOR and it is unclear how increased regulatory oversight and changes in the method for determining LIBOR may affect the value of the financial obligations to be held by or issued to the Company that are linked to LIBOR, or how such changes could affect the Company's results of operations or financial condition. In addition, any further changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR, which could have an adverse impact on the market for or value of any LIBOR-linked securities, loans, and other financial obligations or extensions of credit held by or due to the Company or on its overall financial condition or results of operations.

In the recent past, concerns have been publicized that some of the member banks surveyed by British Bankers' Association ("BBA") in connection with the calculation of LIBOR across a range of maturities and currencies may have been under-reporting or otherwise manipulating the inter-bank lending rate applicable to them in order to profit on their derivative positions or to avoid an appearance of capital insufficiency or adverse reputational or other consequences that may have resulted from reporting inter-bank lending rates higher than those they actually submitted. A number of BBA member banks entered into settlements with their regulators and law enforcement agencies with respect to alleged manipulation of LIBOR.

In recent years, the number of unsecured interbank funding transactions in the LIBOR markets has declined substantially and public and private sector industry initiatives have focused on identifying new or alternative reference rates that could be used in place of IBORs. These initiatives have gained momentum, particularly in light of the announcement in July 2017 by the UK Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") that it would no longer use its influence or legal powers to persuade or compel contributing banks to make LIBOR submissions after the end of 2021. On March 5, 2021, the FCA confirmed that all LIBOR settings will either cease to be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, in the case of Sterling, Euro, Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen LIBOR benchmark settings, and the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR benchmark settings; and (b) immediately after June 30, 2023, in the case of the remaining U.S. Dollar LIBOR benchmark settings (the "March 2021 Announcement").

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
In the United States, the Alternative Reference Rate Committee ("ARRC"), which is sponsored by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, has designated the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as the best rate to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR as a benchmark rate, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York began publishing SOFR on April 3, 2018. SOFR is an overnight rate based on trade-level data from various segments of the U.S. Treasury repo market. However, unlike LIBOR, SOFR is a secured (and, accordingly, a more risk-free) rate, and is a "backward-looking" overnight rate (and therefore does not include forward-looking term maturities (such as 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month rates)). On July 29, 2021, the ARRC formally recommended the use of the CME Group's forward-looking SOFR term rates. The CME Term SOFR reference rates provide forward-looking term rate estimates derived from SOFR, calculated and published for One-Month, Three-Month, Six-Month and Twelve-Month tenors (referred to as Term SOFR). Working groups in other countries for Sterling LIBOR, Euro LIBOR, Yen LIBOR and Swiss LIBOR have also designated alternative reference rates for use in lieu of LIBOR in those currencies.

U.S. dollar LIBOR continues to be published; however, there is no assurance that LIBOR will continue to exist as a representative rate until the date set forth in the March 2021 Announcement, or at any time thereafter. Although some LIBOR benchmark settings may continue until the dates set forth in the March 2021 Announcement and some LIBOR benchmark settings may continue to be available on a synthetic, non-representative basis thereafter, some regulators have prohibited the use of any LIBOR benchmarks in new contracts and have required that regulated entities transition existing contracts to another benchmark prior to the dates set forth in the March 2021 Announcement. Although settings of such LIBOR benchmarks may continue to be available, such prohibitions and requirements may adversely affect the value of the Company's adjustable rate investments.

Although market participants, together with regulators, are working diligently to construct a viable alternative benchmark rate to LIBOR rates, there is no assurance that appropriate and usable alternative reference rates will be developed, or that there will be sufficient liquidity in the markets using those alternative reference rates. Benchmark-related developments are on-going and fast moving and the potential effects of the move away from LIBOR and other global benchmarks on certain types of investments or products can be difficult to ascertain. There remains uncertainty regarding the future use of LIBOR, the timing of the transition to other benchmarks and the nature of the other benchmarks to be utilized (including any alternative reference rates). Factors to consider include the existing fallback provisions (if any) in relevant contracts and if, how and when other benchmarks (including alternative reference rates) and the related fallbacks are adopted for new and legacy products.

There is also no assurance that the characteristics of any alternative reference rates that are designated will be similar to those of any LIBOR, or that any alternative reference rate will be suitable for use as a benchmark rate for any particular product or security, or that use of an alternative reference rate will produce the economic equivalence of the LIBOR-based rate currently used for such products or securities.

A reduction in the interest rates on new investments relative to interest rates on current investments could also have an adverse impact on the Company's net interest income. An increase in interest rates could decrease the value of any investments the Company holds which earn fixed interest rates, including subordinated loans, senior and junior secured and unsecured debt securities and loans and high yield bonds, and also could increase the Company's interest expense, thereby decreasing its net income. Also, an increase in interest rates available to investors could make investment in the Company less attractive if the Company is not able to increase its dividend or distribution rate, which could reduce the value of an investment in the Company.

Investors should also be aware that a change in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to a change in the interest rate the Company may receive on many of its debt investments. Accordingly, a change in the interest rate could make it easier for the Company to meet or exceed the performance threshold and may result in a substantial increase in the amount of incentive fees payable to the Advisor with respect to the portion of the incentive fee based on income.

#### The effect of global climate change may impact the operations of the Company's portfolio companies.
There may be evidence of global climate change. Climate change creates physical and financial risk and some of the Company's portfolio companies may be adversely affected by climate change. For example, the needs of customers of energy companies vary with weather conditions, primarily temperature and humidity. To the extent weather conditions are affected by climate change, energy use could increase or decrease depending on the duration and magnitude of any changes. Increases in the cost of energy could adversely affect the cost of operations of the Company's portfolio companies if the use of energy products or services is material to their business. A decrease in energy use due to weather changes may affect some of the Company's portfolio companies' financial condition,

50<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
through decreased revenues. Extreme weather conditions in general require more system backup, adding to costs, and can contribute to increased system stresses, including service interruptions.

#### The Company's portfolio companies may incur debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, its investments in such companies.
The Company's may invest a portion of its capital in second lien and subordinated loans issued by its portfolio companies. The portfolio companies usually have, or may be permitted to incur, other debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, the loans in which the Company invests. By their terms, such debt instruments may provide that the holders are entitled to receive payment of interest or principal on or before the dates on which the Company is entitled to receive payments in respect of the loans in which it invests. Also, in the event of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of a portfolio company, holders of debt instruments ranking senior to the Company's investment in that portfolio company would typically be entitled to receive payment in full before the Company receives any distribution in respect of the Company's investment. After repaying senior creditors, a portfolio company may not have any remaining assets to use for repaying its obligation to the Company. In the case of debt ranking equally with loans in which the Company invest, the Company would have to share any distributions on an equal and ratable basis with other creditors holding such debt in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of the relevant portfolio company.

Additionally, certain loans that the Company makes to portfolio companies may be secured on a second priority basis by the same collateral securing senior secured debt of such companies. The first priority liens on the collateral will secure the portfolio company's obligations under any outstanding senior debt and may secure certain other future debt that may be permitted to be incurred by the portfolio company under the agreements governing the loans. The holders of obligations secured by first priority liens on the collateral will generally control the liquidation of, and be entitled to receive proceeds from, any realization of the collateral to repay their obligations in full before the Company. In addition, the value of the collateral in the event of liquidation will depend on market and economic conditions, the availability of buyers and other factors. There can be no assurance that the proceeds, if any, from sales of all of the collateral would be sufficient to satisfy the loan obligations secured by the second priority liens after payment in full of all obligations secured by the first priority liens on the collateral. If such proceeds were not sufficient to repay amounts outstanding under the loan obligations secured by the second priority liens, then the Company, to the extent not repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the collateral, will only have an unsecured claim against the portfolio company's remaining assets, if any.

The Company may also make unsecured loans to portfolio companies, meaning that such loans will not benefit from any interest in collateral of such companies. Liens on such portfolio companies' collateral, if any, will secure the portfolio company's obligations under its outstanding secured debt and may secure certain future debt that is permitted to be incurred by the portfolio company under its secured loan agreements. The holders of obligations secured by such liens will generally control the liquidation of, and be entitled to receive proceeds from, any realization of such collateral to repay their obligations in full before us. In addition, the value of such collateral in the event of liquidation will depend on market and economic conditions, the availability of buyers and other factors. There can be no assurance that the proceeds, if any, from sales of such collateral would be sufficient to satisfy our unsecured loan obligations after payment in full of all secured loan obligations. If such proceeds were not sufficient to repay the outstanding secured loan obligations, then the Company's unsecured claims would rank equally with the unpaid portion of such secured creditors' claims against the portfolio company's remaining assets, if any.

The rights the Company may have with respect to the collateral securing the loans the Company makes to portfolio companies with senior debt outstanding may also be limited pursuant to the terms of one or more intercreditor agreements that the Company enter into with the holders of such senior debt. Under a typical intercreditor agreement, at any time that obligations that have the benefit of the first priority liens are outstanding, any of the following actions that may be taken in respect of the collateral will be at the direction of the holders of the obligations secured by the first priority liens:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability to cause the commencement of enforcement proceedings against the collateral;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability to control the conduct of such proceedings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the approval of amendments to collateral documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• releases of liens on the collateral; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• waivers of past defaults under collateral documents.

51<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company may not have the ability to control or direct such actions, even if the Company's rights are adversely affected.

#### The Company may be exposed to special risks associated with bankruptcy cases.
One or more of the Company's portfolio companies may be involved in bankruptcy or other reorganization or liquidation proceedings. Many of the events within a bankruptcy case are adversarial and often beyond the control of the creditors. While creditors generally are afforded an opportunity to object to significant actions, the Company cannot assure investors that a bankruptcy court would not approve actions that may be contrary to the Company's interests. There also are instances where creditors can lose their ranking and priority if they are considered to have taken over management of a borrower.

To the extent that portfolio companies in which the Company has invested through a unitranche facility are involved in bankruptcy proceedings, the outcome of such proceedings may be uncertain. For example, it is unclear whether a bankruptcy court would enforce an agreement among lenders which sets the priority of payments among unitranche lenders. In such a case, the "first out" lenders in the unitranche facility may not receive the same degree of protection as they would if the agreement among lenders was enforced.

The reorganization of a company can involve substantial legal, professional and administrative costs to a lender and the borrower. It is subject to unpredictable and lengthy delays and during the process a company's competitive position may erode, key management may depart and a company may not be able to invest adequately. In some cases, the debtor company may not be able to reorganize and may be required to liquidate assets. The debt of companies in financial reorganization will, in most cases, not pay current interest, may not accrue interest during reorganization and may be adversely affected by an erosion of the issuer's fundamental value.

In addition, lenders can be subject to lender liability claims for actions taken by them where they become too involved in the borrower's business or exercise control over the borrower. For example, the Company could become subject to a lender liability claim (alleging that the Company misused its influence on the borrower for the benefit of its lenders), if, among other things, the borrower requests significant managerial assistance from the Company and it provides that assistance. To the extent the Company and an affiliate both hold investments in the same portfolio company that are of a different character, the Company may also face restrictions on its ability to become actively involved in the event that portfolio company becomes distressed as a result of the restrictions imposed on transactions involving affiliates under the 1940 Act. In such cases, the Company may be unable to exercise rights the Company may otherwise have to protect its interests as security holders in such portfolio company.

***If the Company makes subordinated investments, the obligors or the portfolio companies may not generate sufficient cash flow to service their debt obligations to us.***

The Company may make subordinated investments that rank below other obligations of the obligor in right of payment. Subordinated investments are subject to greater risk of default than senior obligations as a result of adverse changes in the financial condition of the obligor or economic conditions in general. If the Company makes a subordinated investment in a portfolio company, the portfolio company may be highly leveraged, and its relatively high debt-to-equity ratio may create increased risks that its operations might not generate sufficient cash flow to service all of its debt obligations.

#### The disposition of the Company's investments may result in contingent liabilities.
Substantially all of the Company's investments involve loans and private securities. In connection with the disposition of an investment in loans and private securities, the Company may be required to make representations about the business and financial affairs of the portfolio company typical of those made in connection with the sale of a business. The Company may also be required to indemnify the purchasers of such investment to the extent that any such representations turn out to be inaccurate or with respect to potential liabilities.

#### The Company may not realize gains from its equity investments.
When the Company invests in loans and debt securities, it may acquire warrants or other equity securities of portfolio companies as well. The Company may also invest in equity securities directly. To the extent it holds equity investments, the Company will attempt to dispose of them and realize gains upon its disposition of them. However,

52<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
the equity interests the Company receives may not appreciate in value and may decline in value. As a result, the Company may not be able to realize gains from its equity interests, and any gains that it does realize on the disposition of any equity interests may not be sufficient to offset any other losses it experiences.

#### Risks Relating to the Common Shares
***There is a risk that investors may not receive distributions or that the Company's distributions may not grow over time and a portion of its distributions may be a return of capital.***

The Company intends to make distributions on a quarterly basis to its shareholders out of assets legally available for distribution (i.e., not subject to any legal restrictions under Delaware law on the distribution thereof). The Company cannot assure investors that it will achieve investment results that will allow it to make a specified level of cash distributions or year-to-year increases in cash distributions. All distributions will be made at the discretion of the Board and will depend on our earnings, financial condition, maintenance of RIC status, compliance with BDC regulations and such other factors as the Board may deem relative from time to time. The Company cannot assure investors that it will make distributions to its shareholders in the future.

The Company's ability to pay distributions might be adversely affected by the impact of one or more of the risk factors described in this Registration Statement. Due to the asset coverage test applicable to the Company under the 1940 Act as a BDC, the Company may be limited in its ability to make distributions. In addition, restrictions and provisions in any future credit facilities, as well as in the terms of any debt securities the Company may issue, may limit its ability to make distributions in certain circumstances.

When the Company makes distributions, it will be required to determine the extent to which such distributions are paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of an investor's basis in the Common Shares and, assuming that an investor holds the Common Shares as a capital asset, thereafter as a capital gain.

#### Investing in the Common Shares may involve an above average degree of risk.
The investments the Company makes in accordance with its investment objectives may result in a higher amount of risk, and higher volatility or loss of principal, than alternative investment options. The Company's investments in portfolio companies may be speculative and, therefore, an investment in the Common Shares may not be suitable for someone with lower risk tolerance.

#### Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
*The information in this section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Statements" for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Registration Statement.*

#### Revenues
We generate revenue in the form of interest income and fees primarily from senior secured loans with some capital appreciation through nominal equity co-investments. In some cases, our debt investments may pay interest in-kind, or PIK interest. Any outstanding principal amount of our debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date. The level of interest income we receive is directly related to the balance of interest-bearing investments multiplied by the weighted average yield of our investments. We expect that the total dollar amount of interest and any dividend income that we earn will increase as the size of our investment portfolio increases.

#### Expenses
We do not currently have any employees and do not expect to have any employees. Our day-to-day investment operations will be managed by the Advisor, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement. Under the Resource Sharing Agreement, Kennedy Lewis Management makes its investment and portfolio management and monitoring teams available to the Advisor. The Resource Sharing Agreement (i) provides the Company with access to deal flow generated by Kennedy Lewis in the ordinary course of its business; and (ii) provides the Company with access to Kennedy Lewis Management's investment professionals and non-investment employees. The services necessary for our business, including the origination and administration of our investment portfolio, will be provided by individuals who are employees of Kennedy Lewis Management, as our Administrator, pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement. All investment professionals of the Advisor and Kennedy Lewis Management, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory and management services under the Advisory Agreement, and the compensation and routine compensation-related overhead expenses of such personnel allocable to such services, will be provided and paid for by the Advisor and not by the Company. We will bear all other costs and expenses of its operations and transactions, including those listed in the Advisory Agreement. See "*Item 1. Business – Advisory Agreement.*"

We will reimburse the Administrator in an amount equal to the Company's allocable portion of the Administrator's overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions and the Company's allocable portion of the cost of the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and their respective staffs. In addition, if requested to provide significant managerial assistance to the Company's portfolio companies, the Administrator will be paid an additional amount based on the services provided, which shall not exceed the amount that the Company receives from such portfolio companies for providing this assistance. See "*Item 1. Business – Advisory Agreement*."

We have entered into the Expense Support Agreement with the Advisor which will provide that the Company will defer and/or limit the amount of expenses to be borne by the Company in certain circumstances and obligate the Advisor to pay such expenses on behalf of the Company, subject to certain requirements by the Company to reimburse the Advisor for its payment of certain expenses. See "*Item 1. Business – Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement*."

From time to time, the Advisor or its affiliates may pay third-party providers of goods or services. We will reimburse the Advisor or such affiliates thereof for any such amounts paid on our behalf. All of the foregoing expenses will ultimately be borne by our shareholders.

#### Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We intend to generate cash primarily from the net proceeds of the Private Offering and from cash flows from interest and fees earned from our investments and principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. Our primary use of cash will be investments in portfolio companies, payments of our expenses, payment of cash distributions to our shareholders and repurchases of our Common Shares under our share repurchase program.

#### Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP will require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods covered by such financial statements. We have identified investment valuation and revenue recognition as our most critical accounting estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the matters described below. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A discussion of our critical accounting policies follows.

#### Investment Valuation
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under U.S. GAAP, the Company discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes "observable" requires significant judgment by management.

The Company considers whether the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifies transactions that are not orderly in determining fair value. Accordingly, if the Company determines that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value. Valuation techniques such as an income approach might be appropriate to supplement or replace a market approach in those circumstances.

*Investment Valuation Process*

The Company shall value its investments in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. In accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Advisor as the Company's "Valuation Designee". The Advisor has established a Valuation Committee that is responsible for determining the fair value of the Company's investments in instances where there is no readily available market value. Investments for which market quotations are readily available may be priced by independent pricing services. The Company has retained an external, independent valuation firm to provide data and valuation analyses on the Company's portfolio companies. See "*Item 1. Business – Determination of Net Asset Value.*"

#### Revenue Recognition
The Company records interest income on an accrual basis to the extent such interest is deemed collectible. Payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest, represents contractual interest accrued and added to the loan balance that generally becomes due at maturity. We will not accrue any form of interest on loans and debt securities if there is reason to doubt our ability to collect such interest. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized, and we then accrete or amortize such amounts using the effective interest method as interest income. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any unamortized loan origination fee is recorded as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as other income. Dividend income, if any, will be recognized on the declaration date.

#### Contractual Obligations
As of December 31, 2022, we had not commenced operations and did not have any significant contractual payment obligations.

#### Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than contractual commitments and other legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of our business, we do not expect to have any off-balance sheet financings or liabilities.

#### Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Most of the Company's portfolio investments will take the form of securities that are not publicly traded. The fair value of loans, securities and other investments that are not publicly traded may not be readily determinable, and, in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Company values these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor, the valuation designee of the Board (the "Valuation Designee"). The Company has retained an external, independent valuation firm to provide data and valuation analyses on the Company's portfolio companies. See "*Item 1. Business – Determination of Net Asset Value.*"

#### Board of Trustees and Executive Officers
The business and affairs of the Company are managed under the direction and oversight of the Board. The Board consists of five members, three of whom are Independent Trustees. The Board appoints the officers, who serve at the discretion of the Board. The responsibilities of the Board include corporate governance activities, oversight of the Company's financing arrangements and oversight of the Company's investment activities.

The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Company's investment, operational and risk management activities. The Board reviews risk management processes at both regular and special board meetings throughout the year, consulting with appropriate representatives of the Advisor as necessary and periodically requesting the production of risk management reports or presentations. The goal of the Board's risk oversight function is to ensure that the risks associated with the Company's investment activities are accurately identified, thoroughly investigated and responsibly addressed. Investors should note, however, that the Board's oversight function cannot eliminate all risks or ensure that particular events do not adversely affect the value of the Company's investments.

The Board has established an Audit Committee, which has the responsibilities discussed in greater detail below. Under the Company's Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the "Declaration of Trust") and Bylaws ("Bylaws," and together with the Declaration of Trust, the ("Organizational Documents"), the Company is not required to hold annual shareholder meetings.

James Didden, an Interested Trustee, serves as Chairperson of the Board. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of investors for James Didden to lead the Board because of his extensive knowledge of and experience in the financial services industry. The Board believes that its leadership structure is appropriate because the structure allocates areas of responsibility among the individual trustees in a manner that enhances effective oversight. The Board also believes that its small size creates an efficient corporate governance structure that provides opportunity for direct communication and interaction between management and the Board.

#### Board Leadership and Structure
The Board monitors and performs an oversight role with respect to the Company's business and affairs, including with respect to the Company's investment practices and performance, compliance with regulatory requirements and the services, expenses and performance of the Company's service providers. Among other things, the Board approves the appointment of the Advisor and officers, reviews and monitors the services and activities performed by the Advisor and executive officers, and approves the engagement and reviews the performance of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

Under the Company's Bylaws, the Board may designate a Chairperson to preside over the meetings of the Board and meetings of the shareholders and to perform such other duties as may be assigned to him by the Board. The Company does not have a fixed policy as to whether the Chairperson of the Board should be an Independent Trustee and believes that the Company should maintain the flexibility to select the Chairperson and reorganize the leadership structure, from time to time, based on criteria that are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders at such times.

The Company recognizes that different board leadership structures are appropriate for companies in different situations. The Company intends to re-examine its corporate governance policies on an ongoing basis to ensure that they continue to meet the Company's needs.

#### Board's Role in Risk Oversight
The Board performs its risk oversight function primarily through (a) its standing Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which report to the entire Board and are comprised solely of Independent Trustees, and (b) active monitoring by the Company's Chief Compliance Officer of the Company's compliance policies and procedures. The Board may establish additional committees in the future.

As described below in more detail below, the Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its risk oversight responsibilities. The Audit Committee's risk oversight responsibilities include overseeing the internal audit staff (sourced through the Administrator), if any, accounting and financial reporting processes, the Company's systems of internal controls regarding finance and accounting and audits of the Company's financial statements.

The Board also performs its risk oversight responsibilities with the assistance of the Chief Compliance Officer. The Board will review, on a quarterly and annual basis, written reports from the Chief Compliance Officer discussing

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company's compliance policies and procedures and the Company's service providers. The Chief Compliance Officer's annual report will address, at a minimum, (a) the operation of the Company's compliance policies and procedures and the Company's service providers' compliance policies and procedures since the last report; (b) any material changes to such policies and procedures since the last report; (c) any recommendations for material changes to such policies and procedures as a result of the Chief Compliance Officer's annual review; and (d) any compliance matter that has occurred since the date of the last report about which the Board would reasonably need to know to oversee the Company's compliance activities and risks. In addition, the Chief Compliance Officer will meet separately in executive session with the Independent Trustees at least once each year.

All trustees are expected to attend at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and the committees on which they serve. The Company requires each trustee to make a diligent effort to attend all Board and committee meetings.

#### Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is currently composed of all of the Independent Trustees. Catherine Smith serves as Chairperson of the Audit Committee. The Board has determined that Ms. Smith is an "audit committee financial expert" as that term is defined under Item 407 of Regulation S-K, as promulgated under the Exchange Act and meets the current requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a charter approved by the Board, which sets forth the responsibilities of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee's responsibilities include selecting the Company's independent registered public accounting firm; reviewing with such independent registered public accounting firm the planning, scope and results of their audit of the Company's financial statements; pre-approving the fees for services performed; reviewing with the independent registered public accounting firm the adequacy of internal control systems; reviewing the Company's annual audited financial statements; overseeing internal audit staff, if any, and periodic filings; and receiving the Company's audit reports and financial statements.

#### Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is currently composed of all the Independent Trustees. Julian Markby serves as Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for selecting, researching and nominating trustees for election by shareholders, selecting nominees to fill vacancies on the Board or a committee of the Board, developing and recommending to the Board a set of corporate governance principles and overseeing the evaluation of the Board and management.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks candidates who possess the background, skills and expertise to make a significant contribution to the Board, the Company and its shareholders. In considering possible candidates for election as a trustee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account, in addition to such other factors as it deems relevant, the desirability of selecting trustees who:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• are of high character and integrity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• are accomplished in their respective fields, with superior credentials and recognition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• have relevant expertise and experience upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• have sufficient time available to devote to the Company's affairs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• are able to work with the other members of the Board and contribute to the Company's success;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• can represent the long-term interests of shareholders as a whole; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• are selected such that the Board represents a range of backgrounds and experience.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not adopted a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying trustee nominees. In determining whether to recommend a trustee nominee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers and discusses diversity, among other factors, with a view toward the needs of the Board as a whole. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee generally conceptualizes diversity expansively to include, without limitation, concepts such as race, gender, national origin, differences of viewpoint, professional experience, education, skill and other qualities that contribute to the Board, when identifying and recommending trustee nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
believes that the inclusion of diversity as one of many factors considered in selecting director nominees is consistent with the goal of creating a board of trustees that best serves the Company's needs and the interests of shareholders.

entities that operate in the same or related line of business as we do, or of investment funds managed by its affiliates, although we may not be given the opportunity to participate in certain investments made by investment funds managed by advisers affiliated with Kennedy Lewis.

#### Market Information
We do not intend to list our shares on a national securities exchange, and the Board does not expect to complete a liquidity event within any specific time period, if at all.

Subsequent to any IPO or Exchange Listing (each as defined below), the Company will pay the Advisor (i) a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.25% of the Company's average gross assets, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters and (ii) the Income Incentive Fee and Capital Gains Incentive Fee described above except that all of the 12.5% figures referenced therein will be increased to 15%. In addition, the expense support aspect (but not the conditional reimbursement aspect) of the Expense Support Agreement will no longer be of any force or effect subsequent thereto with respect to the Company.

#### Liquidity Event
The Board may, in its sole discretion, after the ten (10) year anniversary of the Initial Closing Date determine to cause the Company to conduct a "Liquidity Event," which is defined as including (1) an initial public offering ("IPO") or other listing of the Common Shares on a national securities exchange (an "Exchange Listing"), or (2) a Sale Transaction. A "Sale Transaction" means (a) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to, or other liquidity event with, another entity or (b) a transaction or series of transactions, including by way of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reorganization, or sale of stock in each case for consideration of either cash and/or publicly listed securities of the acquirer. A Sale Transaction also may include a sale, merger or other transaction with one or more affiliated investment companies managed by the Advisor. The decision to cause the Company to conduct a Liquidity Event will take into consideration factors such as prevailing market conditions at the time and the Company's portfolio composition. The ability of the Company to commence and consummate a Liquidity Event is not assured, and will depend on a variety of factors, including the size and composition of the Company's portfolio and prevailing market conditions at the time.

Until the Board determines to cause the Company to conduct a Liquidity Event, the Company will remain a privately offered BDC and, in its commercially reasonable judgment, will conduct quarterly repurchases of its Common Shares. See "*Item 9. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters – Discretionary Repurchase of Shares*."

63<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Should the Board determine to cause the Company to conduct a Liquidity Event, each investor will be required to agree to cooperate with the Company and take all actions, execute all documents and provide all consents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to consummate a Liquidity Event, it being understood that the Company may, without obtaining the consent of any investors, make modifications to the Company's constitutive documents, capital structure and governance arrangements so long as, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, (x) the economic interests of the investors are not materially diminished or materially impaired, (y) such modifications are consistent with the requirements applicable to BDCs under the 1940 Act and (z) such modifications are not inconsistent with the provisions set forth in this Registration Statement.

Upon completion of any Liquidity Event, pre-existing investors may also be required to enter into a lock-up agreement with the underwriters of any Liquidity Event or otherwise for a period not to exceed 180 days (or such longer period as may be required or determined to be advisable by the underwriters of the IPO or otherwise based on prevailing market conditions and practice at the time).

#### Transfer and Resale Restrictions
Our Common Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act. The Common Shares issued in the Private Offering are expected to be exempt from registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of and Regulation D under the Securities Act.

Because our Common Shares will be acquired by investors in one or more transactions "not involving a public offering," they will be "restricted securities." The Common Shares offered and sold in the Private Offering may not be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged (each, a "Transfer") (i) without the Company's prior written consent and (ii) the Transfer is made in connection with transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and otherwise in accordance with applicable securities laws. No Transfer will be effectuated except by registration of the Transfer on the Company's books. Each transferee must agree to be bound by these restrictions and all other obligations as an investor in the Company.

Following any Liquidity Event, investors may be restricted from selling or transferring their Common Shares for a certain period of time by applicable securities laws or contractually by a lock-up agreement with the underwriters of any Liquidity Event or otherwise.

Accordingly, an investor must be willing to bear the economic risk of investment in the Common Shares until we are liquidated. Each transferee will be required to execute an instrument agreeing to be bound by these restrictions and the other restrictions imposed on the Common Shares and to execute such other instruments or certifications as are reasonably required by us.

#### Holders
Please see "*Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management*" for disclosure regarding the holders of our Common Shares.

#### Discretionary Repurchase of Shares
*No Right of Redemption*

No shareholder or other person holding shares acquired from a shareholder has the right to require the Company to repurchase any Common Shares. No public market for the Common Shares exists, and none is expected to develop in the future. Consequently, shareholders may not be able to liquidate their investment other than as a result of repurchases of shares by the Company, as described below.

*Repurchases of Shares*

Prior to any Liquidity Event, and subject to market conditions and the Advisor's commercially reasonable judgment, and subject to authorization by the Board, the Company intends from time to time to offer to repurchase Common Shares pursuant to written tenders by shareholders. Subject to market conditions, the Advisor will in its commercially reasonable judgment cause the Company to repurchase shares from shareholders on a quarterly basis in an amount not to exceed 5.0% of the Company's net asset value; provided, however, that the Advisor, subject to the Board's discretion and approval, shall cause the Company to repurchase Common Shares from shareholders in an amount at least equal to 10.0% of the Company's net asset value in respect of the fourth calendar quarter of each

64<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
of the eighth and tenth calendar years following the Initial Closing Date. Prior to any IPO or an Exchange Listing, and subject to market conditions and the Advisor's commercially reasonable judgment, the Company intends to commence quarterly repurchases following the one-year anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, with the first quarterly repurchase offer commencing on the first business day of the first full calendar quarter following such one-year anniversary. Each repurchase offer will generally commence approximately 90 days prior to the applicable quarter-end repurchase date. With respect to any such repurchase offer, investors tendering shares must do so by a date specified in the notice describing the terms of the repurchase offer. The Notice Period shall conclude 5 days prior to the applicable quarter-end repurchase date.

There is no minimum portion of a shareholders Common Shares which must be repurchased in any repurchase offer. The Company has no obligation to repurchase Common Shares at any time; any such repurchases will only be made at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Advisor, in its sole discretion. In determining whether the Company should offer to repurchase Common Shares, the Advisor will consider the timing of such an offer, as well as a variety of operational, business and economic factors. In determining whether to accept a recommendation to conduct a repurchase offer at any such time, the Company will consider the following factors, among others:

-<br> whether any shareholders have requested to tender Common Shares to the Company;

-<br> the liquidity of the Company's assets (including fees and costs associated with redeeming or otherwise withdrawing from investment funds);

-<br> the investment plans and working capital and reserve requirements of the Company;

-<br> the relative economies of scale of the tenders with respect to the size of the Company;

-<br> the history of the Company in repurchasing shares;

-<br> the availability of information as to the value of the Company's shares in investment funds;

-<br> the existing conditions of the securities markets and the economy generally, as well as political, national or international developments or current affairs;

-<br> any anticipated tax consequences to the Company of any proposed repurchases of shares; and

-<br> the recommendations of the Advisor.

The Company will repurchase Common Shares from shareholders pursuant to written tenders on terms and conditions that the Advisor determines to be fair to the Company and to all shareholders. When the Advisor determines that the Company will repurchase shares, notice will be provided to shareholders describing the terms of the offer, containing information shareholders should consider in deciding whether to participate in the repurchase opportunity and containing information on how to participate. Shareholders deciding whether to tender their Common Shares during the period that a repurchase offer is open may obtain the Company's net asset value per share by contacting the Advisor during the period. If a quarterly repurchase offer is oversubscribed by shareholders who tender Common Shares, the Company will repurchase a pro rata portion by value of the Common Shares tendered by each shareholder, extend the repurchase offer, or take any other action with respect to the repurchase offer permitted by applicable law.

Repurchases of Common Shares by the Company will generally be paid in cash, except for shareholders that elect to receive their repurchase proceeds in kind by checking the appropriate box on the tender offer form. Any shareholder that submits a repurchase request in excess of $25 million may elect to receive its repurchase proceeds in kind by checking the corresponding box on the tender offer form. The Company will seek to distribute a pro rata slice of the entire portfolio to such shareholder to the extent practicable. Repurchases will be effective after receipt and acceptance by the Company of eligible written tenders of shares from shareholders by the applicable repurchase offer deadline. The Company does not intend to impose any charges in connection with repurchases of shares.

Shares will be repurchased by the Company after the Base Management Fee has been deducted from the Company's assets as of the end of the month in which the repurchase occurs — i.e., the accrued Base Management Fee for the quarter in which Common Shares are to be repurchased is deducted prior to effecting the relevant repurchase of Common Shares.

65<br>

------

In light of liquidity constraints associated with the Company's investments, the Company expects to employ the following repurchase procedures: Each repurchase offer will generally commence approximately 90 days prior to the applicable quarter-end repurchase date. A shareholder choosing to tender shares for repurchase must do so by the applicable deadline, which generally will be five days before the applicable quarter-end repurchase date. Shares will be valued as of the valuation date, which is generally expected to be March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31 or the next business day, as applicable. Tenders will be revocable upon written notice to the Company until the end of the Notice Period.

If modification of the Company's repurchase procedures as described above is deemed necessary to comply with regulatory requirements, the Advisor will adopt revised procedures reasonably designed to provide shareholders substantially the same liquidity for Common Shares as would be available under the procedures described above.

Payment for repurchased shares may require the Company to liquidate portfolio holdings earlier than the Advisor would otherwise have caused these holdings to be liquidated, potentially resulting in losses, and may increase the Company's investment related expenses as a result of higher portfolio turnover rates.

The Advisor intends to take measures to attempt to avoid or minimize potential losses and expenses resulting from the repurchase of shares.

A shareholder tendering for repurchase only a portion of the shareholder's Common Shares will be required to maintain an account balance of at least $10,000 after giving effect to the repurchase. If a shareholder tenders an amount that would cause the shareholder's account balance to fall below the required minimum of $10,000, the Company reserves the right to repurchase all of such shareholder's Common Shares at any time that the aggregate net asset value of the Common Shares held by the shareholder (based on the then-most recently disclosed net asset value of the Common Shares) is, at the time of such compulsory repurchase, less than $10,000. This right of the Company to repurchase shares compulsorily may be a factor which shareholders may wish to consider when determining the extent of any tender for purchase by a Company.

Subject to applicable law, the Company may also repurchase Common Shares held by a shareholder without consent or other action by the shareholder or other person if the Company determines that:

-<br> the shares have been transferred or have vested in any person other than by operation of law as the result of the death, bankruptcy, insolvency, adjudicated incompetence or dissolution of the shareholder or with the consent of the Company;

- ownership of shares by a shareholder or other person is likely to cause the Company to be in violation of, require registration of any shares under, or subject the Company to additional registration or regulation under, the securities, commodities or other laws of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction;

-<br> continued ownership of shares by a shareholder may be harmful or injurious to the business or reputation of the Company, the Advisor or any of their affiliates, or may subject the Company or any shareholder to an undue risk of adverse tax or other fiscal or regulatory consequences;

-<br> any of the representations and warranties made by a shareholder or other person in connection with the acquisition of shares was not true when made or has ceased to be true; or

with respect to a shareholder subject to Special Laws or Regulations, such as those imposed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("**ERISA**"), the shareholder is likely to be subject to additional regulatory or compliance requirements under these special laws or regulations by virtue of continuing to hold any shares.<br>

In the event that the Advisor or any of its affiliates holds Common Shares in the capacity of a shareholder, the shares may be tendered for repurchase in connection with any repurchase offer made by the Company. Shareholders who require minimum annual distributions from a retirement account through which they hold Common Shares should consider the Company's schedule for repurchase offers and submit repurchase requests accordingly.

---

The following description is based on relevant portions of Delaware law and on the Declaration of Trust and Bylaws. This summary is not necessarily complete, and the Company refers investors to Delaware law and the Organizational Documents for a more detailed description of the provisions summarized below.

#### General
The terms of the Declaration of Trust authorize an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of shares of preferred shares, par value $0.01 per share. The Declaration of Trust provides that the Board may classify or reclassify any unissued Common Shares into one or more classes or series of Common Shares or preferred shares by setting or changing the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, or limitations as to dividends, qualifications, or terms or conditions of redemption of the shares. There is currently no market for the Common Shares, and the Company can offer no assurances that a market for the Common Shares will develop in the future. The Company does not intend for the Common Shares offered under Registration Statement Shares have been authorized for issuance under any equity compensation plans. Under the terms of the Declaration of Trust, shareholders shall be entitled to the same limited liability extended to shareholders of private Delaware for profit corporations formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law, 8 Del. C. § 100, et. seq. The Declaration of Trust provides that no shareholder shall be liable for any debt, claim, demand, judgment or obligation of any kind of, against or with respect to us by reason of being a shareholder, nor shall any shareholder be subject to any personal liability whatsoever, in tort, contract or otherwise, to any person in connection with the Company's assets or the affairs of the Company by reason of being a shareholder. In addition, except as may be provided by the Board in setting the terms of any class or series of Common Shares, no shareholder shall be entitled to exercise appraisal rights in connection with any transaction.

Under the terms of the Declaration of Trust, all Common Shares will have equal rights as to voting and, when they are issued, will be duly authorized, validly issued, and fully paid. Dividends and distributions may be paid to the holders of Common Shares if, as and when authorized by the Board and declared by the Company out of funds legally available therefore. Except as may be provided by the Board in setting the terms of classified or reclassified shares, the Common Shares will have no preemptive, exchange, conversion, appraisal or redemption rights. In the event of the Company's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each share of the Common Shares would be entitled to share pro rata in all of the Company's assets that are legally available for distribution after it pays all debts and other liabilities and subject to any preferential rights of holders of its preferred shares, if any preferred shares are outstanding at such time. Subject to the rights of holders of any other class or series of shares, each share of Common Shares will be entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of trustees. Except as may be provided by the Board in setting the terms of classified or reclassified shares, and subject to the express terms of any class or series of preferred shares, the holders of the Common Shares will possess exclusive voting power. There will be no cumulative voting in the election of trustees. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred shares to elect trustees, each trustee will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast with respect to such trustee's election except in the case of a "contested election" (as defined in the Company's Bylaws), in which case trustees will be elected by a majority of the votes cast in the contested election of trustees.

#### Transferability of Common Shares
Prior to any Liquidity Event, shareholders may not Transfer any Common Shares, rights or obligations unless (i) the Company gives its prior written consent and (ii) the Transfer is made in connection with transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and otherwise in accordance with applicable securities laws. No Transfer will be effectuated except by registration of the Transfer on the Company's books. Each transferee must agree to be bound by these restrictions and all other obligations as a shareholder in the Company.

Following Liquidity Event, shareholders may be restricted from selling or transferring their Common Shares for a certain period of time by applicable securities laws or contractually by a lock-up agreement with the underwriters of the Liquidity Event or otherwise.

#### Preferred Shares
This offering does not include an offering of preferred shares. However, under the terms of the Declaration of Trust, the Board may authorize us to issue preferred shares in one or more classes or series without shareholder approval, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. The Board has the power to fix the preferences, conversion and

67<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of each class or series of preferred shares. The Company does not currently anticipate issuing preferred shares in the near future. In the event it issues preferred shares, the Company will make any required disclosure to shareholders.

Preferred shares could be issued with terms that would adversely affect the shareholders, provided that the Company may not issue any preferred shares that would limit or subordinate the voting rights of holders of Common Shares. Preferred shares could also be used as an anti-takeover device through the issuance of shares of a class or series of preferred shares with terms and conditions which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control. Every issuance of preferred shares will be required to comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act requires, among other things, that: (1) immediately after issuance and before any dividend or other distribution is made with respect to common shares and before any purchase of common shares is made, such preferred shares together with all other senior securities must not exceed an amount equal to 66-2/3% of the Company's total assets after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution or purchase price, as the case may be, and (2) the holders of shares of preferred shares, if any are issued, must be entitled as a class voting separately to elect two trustees at all times and to elect a majority of the trustees if distributions on such preferred shares are in arrears by two full years or more. Certain matters under the 1940 Act require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of preferred shares (as determined in accordance with the 1940 Act) voting together as a separate class. For example, the vote of such holders of preferred shares would be required to approve a proposal involving a plan of reorganization adversely affecting such securities. The issuance of any preferred shares must be approved by a majority of the Independent Trustees not otherwise interested in the transaction.

#### Limitation on Liability of Trustees and Officers; Indemnification and Advance of Expenses
Delaware law permits a Delaware statutory trust to include in its declaration of trust a provision to indemnify and hold harmless any trustee or beneficial owner or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. The Declaration of Trust provides that our trustees will not be liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a trustee to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Declaration of Trust provides for the indemnification of any person to the full extent permitted, and in the manner provided, by Delaware law. In accordance with the 1940 Act, the Company will not indemnify certain persons for any liability to which such persons would be subject by reason of such person's willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.

Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust and subject to certain exceptions described therein, the Company will indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (i) any individual who is a present or former trustee or officer of the Company and who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity or (ii) any individual who, while a trustee or officer of the Company and at the request of the Company, serves or has served as a trustee, officer, partner or trustee of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity (each such person, an "Indemnitee"), in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not provide indemnification for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by an Indemnitee unless (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations, (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the Indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

The Company will not indemnify an Indemnitee against any liability or loss suffered by such Indemnitee unless (i) the Company determines in good faith that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interest of the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company,

68<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
(iii) such liability or loss was not the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct, in the case that the party seeking indemnification is trustee, officer, employee, controlling person, or agent of the Company, and (iv) such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of assets of the Company and not from the shareholders.

In addition, the Declaration of Trust permits the Company to advance reasonable expenses to an Indemnitee, and the Company will do so in advance of final disposition of a proceeding (a) if the proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company, (b) the legal proceeding was initiated by a third party who is not a shareholder or, if by a shareholder of the Company acting in his or her capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement and (c) upon the Company's receipt of (i) a written affirmation by the trustee or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company and (ii) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

#### Delaware Law and Certain Declaration of Trust Provisions

#### Organization and Duration
We were formed in Delaware on February 10, 2022 and will remain in existence until dissolved in accordance with our Declaration of Trust or pursuant to Delaware law.

#### Purpose
Under the Declaration of Trust, the Company is permitted to engage in any business activity that lawfully may be conducted by a statutory trust organized under Delaware law and, in connection therewith, to exercise all of the rights and powers conferred upon us pursuant to the agreements relating to such business activity.

#### Delaware Anti-takeover Provisions
The Declaration of Trust contains provisions that could make it more difficult for a potential acquirer to acquire the Company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. The Board may, without shareholder action, authorize the issuance of shares in one or more classes or series, including preferred shares; the Board may, without shareholder action, amend our Declaration of Trust to increase the number of the Common Shares, of any class or series, that the Company will have authority to issue; and our Declaration of Trust provides that, while the Company does not intend to list the Common Shares on any securities exchange, if any class of its shares is listed on a national securities exchange, the Board will be divided into three classes of trustees serving staggered terms of three years each. These provisions are expected to discourage certain coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with the Board. The Company believes that the benefits of these provisions outweigh the potential disadvantages of discouraging any such acquisition proposals because, among other things, the negotiation of such proposals may improve their terms.

#### Number of Trustees; Vacancies; Removal
The Declaration of Trust provides that the number of trustees will be set by the Board in accordance with the Company's Bylaws. The Bylaws provide that a majority of the entire Board may at any time increase or decrease the number of trustees. The Declaration of Trust provides that the number of trustees generally may not be less than one. Except as otherwise required by applicable requirements of the 1940 Act and as may be provided by the Board in setting the terms of any class or series of preferred shares, pursuant to an election under the Declaration of Trust, any and all vacancies on the Board may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining trustees in office, even if the remaining trustees do not constitute a quorum, and any trustee elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the trustee for whom the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualified, subject to any applicable requirements of the 1940 Act. Independent Trustees will nominate replacements for any vacancies among the Independent Trustees' positions.

The Declaration of Trust provides that a trustee may be removed only for cause and only by a majority of the remaining trustees (or in the case of the removal of a trustee who is not an interested person, a majority of the remaining trustees who are not interested persons) and by the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Common Shares then entitled to vote in an election of such Trustee.

The Company has a total of five members of the Board, three of whom are Independent Trustees. The Declaration of Trust provides that a majority of the Board must be Independent Trustees except for a period of up

69<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
to 60 days after the death, removal or resignation of an Independent Trustee pending the election of his or her successor. Each trustee will hold office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified.

#### Action by Shareholders
The Company's Bylaws provide that shareholder action can be taken only at a special meeting of shareholders or by unanimous consent in lieu of a meeting. The shareholders will only have voting rights as required by the 1940 Act or as otherwise provided for in the Declaration of Trust. Under our Declaration of Trust and Bylaws, the Company is not required to hold annual shareholder meetings. Special meetings may be called by the trustees and certain of the Company's officers, and will be limited to the purposes for any such special meeting set forth in the notice thereof. In addition, the Declaration of Trust provides that, subject to the satisfaction of certain procedural and informational requirements by the shareholders requesting the meeting, a special meeting of shareholders will be called by the secretary of the Company upon the written request of shareholders entitled to cast 10% or more of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting. Any special meeting called by such shareholders is required to be held not less than 15 nor more than 60 days after we are provided notice by such shareholders of the request for a special meeting. These provisions will have the effect of significantly reducing the ability of shareholders being able to have proposals considered at a meeting of shareholders.

With respect to special meetings of shareholders, only the business specified in our notice of the meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board at a special meeting may be made only (1) pursuant to our notice of the meeting, (2) by the Board or (3) provided that the Board has determined that trustees will be elected at the meeting, by a shareholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice provisions of the Declaration of Trust.

The purpose of requiring shareholders to give the Company advance notice of nominations and other business is to afford the Board a meaningful opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees and the advisability of any other proposed business and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the Board, to inform shareholders and make recommendations about such qualifications or business, as well as to provide a more orderly procedure for conducting meetings of shareholders. Although the Declaration of Trust does not give the Board any power to disapprove shareholder nominations for the election of trustees or proposals recommending certain action, they may have the effect of precluding a contest for the election of trustees or the consideration of shareholder proposals if proper procedures are not followed and of discouraging or deterring a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of trustees or to approve its own proposal without regard to whether consideration of such nominees or proposals might be harmful or beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.

#### Amendment of the Declaration of Trust and Bylaws
The Declaration of Trust provides that shareholders are entitled to vote upon a proposed amendment to the Declaration of Trust if the amendment would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares held by such shareholders so as to affect them adversely. Approval of any such amendment requires at least a majority of the votes cast by such shareholders at a meeting of shareholders duly called and at which a quorum is present. In addition, amendments to the Declaration of Trust to make the Common Shares a "redeemable security" or to convert the Company, whether by merger or otherwise, from a closed-end company to an open-end company each must be approved by (a) the affirmative vote of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter prior to the occurrence of a listing of any class of the Company's shares on a national securities exchange and (b) the affirmative vote of shareholders entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter upon and following the occurrence of a listing of any class of the Company's shares on a national securities exchange.

The Declaration of Trust provides that the Board has the exclusive power to adopt, alter or repeal any provision of the Company's Bylaws and to make new Bylaws. The Declaration of Trust provides that the Board may amend the Declaration of Trust without any vote of the shareholders.

70<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Actions Related to Merger, Conversion, Reorganization or Dissolution
An affirmative vote or consent of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Company (or such higher approval threshold as may be provided in the Declaration of Trust) shall be required to approve a merger, conversion, consolidation, or share exchange or sale of exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, provided that 75% of the Continuing Trustees (as such term is defined by the Declaration of Trust) and a majority of the Board approve of such merger, conversion, consolidation, or share exchange or sale of exchange.

#### Derivative Actions
No person, other than a trustee, who is not a shareholder shall be entitled to bring any derivative action, suit or other proceeding on behalf of the Company. No shareholder may maintain a derivative action on behalf of the Company unless holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares join in the bringing of such action.

In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 3816 of the Delaware Statutory Trust Statute, a shareholder may bring a derivative action on behalf of the Company only if the following conditions are met: (i) the shareholder or shareholders must make a pre-suit demand upon the Board to bring the subject action unless an effort to cause the Board to bring such an action is not likely to succeed; and a demand on the Board shall only be deemed not likely to succeed and therefore excused if a majority of the Board, or a majority of any committee established to consider the merits of such action, is composed of Board who are not "Independent Trustees" (as that term is defined in the Delaware Statutory Trust Statute); and (ii) unless a demand is not required under clause (i) above, the Board must be afforded a reasonable amount of time to consider such shareholder request and to investigate the basis of such claim; and the Board shall be entitled to retain counsel or other advisors in considering the merits of the request and may require an undertaking by the shareholders making such request to reimburse the Company for the expense of any such advisors in the event that the Board determine not to bring such action. For purposes of this paragraph, the Board may designate a committee of one or more trustees to consider a shareholder demand. Nothing disclosed in this sub-section will apply to any claims, suits, actions or proceedings asserting a claim brought under federal securities laws.

#### Exclusive Delaware Jurisdiction
Each trustee, each officer and each person legally or beneficially owning a share or an interest in a share of the Company (whether through a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing or otherwise), to the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 3804(e) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Statute, (i) irrevocably agrees that except for any claims, suits, actions or proceedings arising under the federal securities laws, any claims, suits, actions or proceedings asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs (or similar) doctrine or arising out of or relating in any way to the Company, the Delaware Statutory Trust Statute or the Declaration of Trust (including, without limitation, any claims, suits, actions or proceedings to interpret, apply or enforce (A) the provisions of the Declaration of Trust, (B) the duties (including fiduciary duties), obligations or liabilities of the Company to the shareholders or the Board, or of officers or the Board to the Company, to the shareholders or each other, (C) the rights or powers of, or restrictions on, the Company, the officers, the Board or the shareholders, (D) any provision of the Delaware Statutory Trust Statute or other laws of the State of Delaware pertaining to trusts made applicable to the Company pursuant to Section 3809 of the Delaware Statutory Trust Statute or (E) any other instrument, document, agreement or certificate contemplated by any provision of the Delaware Statutory Trust Statute or the Declaration of Trust relating in any way to the Company (regardless, in each case, of whether such claims, suits, actions or proceedings (x) sound in contract, tort, fraud or otherwise, (y) are based on common law, statutory, equitable, legal or other grounds or (z) are derivative or direct claims)), shall be exclusively brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, any other court in the State of Delaware with subject matter jurisdiction, (ii) irrevocably agrees that any claims, suits, actions or proceedings arising under the federal securities laws shall be exclusively brought in the federal district courts of the United States of America, (iii) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in connection with any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, (iv) irrevocably agrees not to, and waives any right to, assert in any such claim, suit, action or proceeding that (A) it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts or any other court to which proceedings in such courts may be appealed, (B) such claim, suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or (C) the venue of such claim, suit, action or proceeding is improper, (v) consents to process being served in any such claim, suit, action or proceeding by mailing, certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices hereunder, and agrees that such

71<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof; provided, nothing in clause (v) hereof shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law, and (vi) irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any such claim, suit, action or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this sub-section, the Company may, at its sole discretion, select and/or consent to an alternative forum for any claims, suits, actions or proceedings relating in any way to the Company.

#### Access to Records
Any shareholder will be permitted access to all of the Company's records to which they are entitled under applicable law at all reasonable times and may inspect and copy any of them for a reasonable copying charge. An alphabetical list of the names, addresses and business telephone numbers of the Company's shareholders, along with the number of shares held by each of them, will be maintained as part of its books and records and will be available for inspection by any shareholder or the shareholder's designated agent at our office. The shareholder list will be updated at least quarterly to reflect changes in the information contained therein. A copy of the list will be mailed to any shareholder who requests the list within ten days of the request. A shareholder may request a copy of the shareholder list for any proper and legitimate purpose, including, without limitation, in connection with matters relating to voting rights and the exercise of shareholder rights under federal proxy laws. A shareholder requesting a list will be required to pay reasonable costs of postage and duplication. Such copy of the shareholder list shall be printed in alphabetical order, on white paper, and in readily readable type size (no smaller than 10-point font).

A shareholder may also request access to any other corporate records. If a proper request for the shareholder list or any other corporate records is not honored, then the requesting shareholder will be entitled to recover certain costs incurred in compelling the production of the list or other requested corporate records as well as actual damages suffered by reason of the refusal or failure to produce the list. However, a shareholder will not have the right to, and we may require a requesting shareholder to represent that it will not, secure the shareholder list or other information for the purpose of selling or using the list for a commercial purpose not related to the requesting shareholder's interest in our affairs. We may also require that such shareholder sign a confidentiality agreement in connection with the request.

#### Conflict with the 1940 Act
Our Declaration of Trust provides that, if and to the extent that any provision of Delaware law, or any provision of our Declaration of Trust conflicts with any provision of the 1940 Act, the applicable provision of the 1940 Act will control.

#### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholder and the Board of Trustees of Kennedy Lewis Capital Company

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Kennedy Lewis Capital Company (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022, and the related statement of operations, for the period from February 10, 2022 (date of inception) to December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations for the period from February 10, 2022 (date of inception) to December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### Notes to the Financial Statements
1. Organization

*Organization*

Kennedy Lewis Capital Company, a Delaware statutory trust (the "Company" and "us"), has been established to invest primarily in debt or other debt-like securities across the capital structure of middle market companies located in the United States and, selectively, in other North American countries and in Europe, with the ability to consider investments focused on other geographic markets. The Company generally defines middle market companies as those having enterprise values between $300 million and $3 billion. The Company's investment objectives are to maximize the total return to its holders of Common Shares (each a "shareholder") in the form of current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation. The Company will employ a strategy to provide capital to middle market companies, with a focus on direct originations in private, first lien, senior secured, performing credits. The Company expects to generate returns primarily from interest income and fees from senior secured loans, with some capital appreciation through nominal equity co-investments.

The Company is externally managed by Kennedy Lewis Capital Holdings LLC (the "Advisor"), a Delaware limited liability company that is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisors Act") pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Company and the Advisor (as amended, the "Advisory Agreement"). Kennedy Lewis Management LP ("Kennedy Lewis Management," and together with Kennedy Lewis Capital Holdings LLC and its affiliates, "Kennedy Lewis") is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser under the Advisors Act. The Advisor has entered into a resource sharing agreement ("Resource Sharing Agreement") with Kennedy Lewis Management, pursuant to which Kennedy Lewis Management makes certain personnel and resources available to the Advisor to provide certain investment advisory services to the Company. Kennedy Lewis Management serves as the Company's administrator (in such capacity, the "Administrator") pursuant to an administration agreement (the "Administration Agreement"). The Administrator may retain a sub-administrator to perform any or all of its obligations under the Administration Agreement.

The Company is a Delaware statutory trust structured as an externally managed, diversified closed-end management investment company. The Company has elected to be treated as a business development company (a "BDC") under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). In addition, the Company intends to elect to be treated as a regulated investment company (a "RIC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

Subject to the supervision of the Company's Board of Trustees (the "Board"), a majority of which constitutes trustees who are not "interested persons" as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustees"), the Advisor manages the Company's day-to-day operations and provides the Company with investment advisory and management services.

*Fiscal Year End* 

The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

*Basis of Presentation* 

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services-Investment Companies.

*Use of Estimates* 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material.

#### Notes to the Financial Statements<br>
*Cash* 

Cash consists of deposits held at a custodian bank.

*Organization and Offering Costs* 

Organizational costs to establish the Company are charged to expense as incurred. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs of organizing the Company.

Offering costs in connection with the offering of common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 ("Common Shares") of the Company are capitalized as a deferred charge and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the commencement of operations, which has not yet occurred.

Under the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement, the Company, either directly or through reimbursements to the Advisor or its affiliates, is responsible for its organization and offering costs. As of December 31, 2022, the Advisor and its affiliates have incurred organizational and offering costs of $1,026,772 on behalf of the Company. Organizational costs incurred by the Advisor and its affiliates on behalf of the Company were waived and will be reimbursed by the Advisor pursuant to the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement. At December 31, 2022, the total amount owed to the Company from the Advisor is included in receivable from Advisor in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the total amount owed to affiliates is included in payable to affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

*Income Taxes* 

So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its shareholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed would represent obligations of the Company's investors and would not be reflected in the financial statements of the Company.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are "more likely than not" to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the "more likely than not" threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Company did not record any tax provision in the current period. To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company must distribute to its shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of its "investment company taxable income" for that year, which is generally its ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of its realized net short-term capital gains over its realized net long-term capital losses.

In addition, based on the excise tax distribution requirements, the Company is subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on undistributed income unless the Company distributes in a timely manner in each taxable year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income realized, but not distributed, in prior years. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Company that is subject to corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed.

3. Related Party Transactions

*Administration Agreement* 

Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator furnishes the Company with office facilities and equipment and will provide the Company with clerical, bookkeeping, recordkeeping and other administrative services at such facilities. The Administrator also performs, or oversees the performance of, the Company's required administrative services, which include being responsible for the financial and other records that the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to its shareholders and reports and other materials filed with the SEC. In

F-4<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Kennedy Lewis Capital Company<br>

#### Notes to the Financial Statements<br>
addition, the Administrator assists the Company in determining and publishing its net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of its tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports and other materials to its shareholders, and generally oversees the payment of its expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator also provides managerial assistance on the Company's behalf to those portfolio companies that have accepted the Company's offer to provide such assistance.

Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount based upon the Company's allocable portion (subject to the review of the Board) of the Administrator's overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions and the Company's allocable portion of the cost of the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and his or her staff.

*Advisory Agreement* 

Subject to the overall supervision of the Board and in accordance with the 1940 Act, the Advisor manages the Company's day-to-day operations and provides investment advisory services to the Company. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• determines the composition of the Company's portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to its portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments the Company makes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• executes, closes, services and monitors the investments the Company makes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• determines the securities and other assets that the Company purchases, retains or sells;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• performs due diligence on prospective portfolio companies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provides the Company with such other investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of its funds.

Under the Advisory Agreement, the Company will pay the Advisor fees for investment management services consisting of a base management fee (the "Base Management Fee") and an incentive fee (the "Incentive Fee").

Base Management Fee

The Company will pay the Advisor a Base Management Fee equal to an annual rate of 1.25% of the average of the Company's net assets, at the end of the two most recently completed quarters. Subsequent to any IPO (as defined below) or Exchange Listing (as defined in the Registration Statement), the Company will pay the Advisor a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.25% of the Company's average gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed quarters. The Base Management Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears.

Incentive Fee

The Incentive Fee consists of two components that are independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. A portion of the Incentive Fee is based on a percentage of income and a portion is based on a percentage of capital gains, each as described below.

**Income-Based Incentive Fee. The portion based on the Company's income is based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns. "Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns" means, as the context requires, either the dollar value of, or percentage rate of return on the value of net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter from interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that are received from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses accrued for the quarter (including the management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement entered into between the Company and the Administrator, and any interest expense or fees on any credit facilities or outstanding debt and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares, but excluding the Incentive Fee**

#### Notes to the Financial Statements<br>
and any shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns include, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that has not yet been received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The impact of expense support payments and recoupments are also excluded from Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company's net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter, is compared to a "hurdle rate" of return of 1.25% per quarter (5.0% annualized).

The Company pays the Advisor an Income Based Incentive Fee quarterly in arrears with respect to the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in each calendar quarter as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• No incentive fee based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in any calendar quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.25% per quarter (5.0% annualized);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 100.0% of the dollar amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate until the Advisor has received 12.5% of the total Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns for that calendar quarter. The Company refers to this portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns (which exceeds the hurdle rate) as the "catch-up." This "catch-up" is meant to provide the Advisor an Incentive Fee of 12.5% on all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns when that amount equals 1.43% in a calendar quarter (5.72% annualized), which is the rate at which the catch-up is achieved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 12.5% of the dollar amount of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceed a rate of return of 1.43%.

These calculations are prorated for any period of less than three months, including the first quarter the Company commenced operations, and are adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter.

**Capital Gains Incentive Fee. The second part of the incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year in an amount equal to 12.5% of cumulative realized capital gains from inception through the end of such calendar, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fee on capital gains as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP (the "Capital Gains Incentive Fee").** 

*Co-investment Exemptive Relief* 

As a BDC, the Company is subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making its investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permitted to co-invest with certain affiliated entities in transactions originated by the BDC or its affiliates in the absence of an exemptive order from the SEC. However, BDCs are permitted to, and may, simultaneously co-invest in transactions where price and quantity are the only negotiated terms. The Company filed with the SEC an application for exemptive relief to co-invest, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, in certain private placement transactions, with other funds managed by the Advisor or its affiliates. Under the terms of the exemptive order, in order for the Company to participate in a co-investment transaction, a "required majority" (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Company's independent trustees must conclude that (i) the terms of the proposed transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and its shareholders and do not involve overreaching with respect of the Company or its shareholders on the part of any person concerned, and (ii) the proposed transaction is consistent with the interests of the Company's shareholders and is consistent with the Company's investment objectives and strategies and certain criteria established by the Board.

*Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement* 

The Company has entered into an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement (as amended, the "Expense Support Agreement") with the Advisor, pursuant to which the Advisor has contractually agreed to pay Other Operating Expenses (as defined below) of the Company on the Company's behalf (each such payment, a "Required Expense Payment" such that Other Operating Expenses of the Company do not exceed 1.00% (on an

F-6<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Kennedy Lewis Capital Company<br>

#### Notes to the Financial Statements<br>
annualized basis) of the Company's applicable quarter-end net asset value. "Other Operating Expenses" include the Company's organizational and offering expenses (including the Company's allocable portion of compensation and overhead (including rent, office equipment and utilities) and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement, excluding Base Management Fees and Incentive Fees owed to the Advisor and any interest expenses owed by the Company.

At such times as the Advisor determines, the Advisor may elect to pay certain additional expenses of the Company on the Company's behalf (each such payment, a "Voluntary Expense Payment" and together with a Required Expense Payment, the "Expense Payments"). In making a Voluntary Expense Payment, the Advisor will designate, as it deems necessary or advisable, what type of expense it is paying (including, whether it is paying organizational or offering expenses).

Following any calendar quarter in which Available Operating Funds (as defined below) exceed the cumulative distributions accrued to the Company's shareholders based on distributions declared with respect to record dates occurring in such calendar quarter (the amount of such excess referred to in this Registration Statement as "Excess Operating Funds"), the Company will pay such Excess Operating Funds, or a portion thereof, to the Advisor until such time as all Expense Payments made by the Advisor to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter have been reimbursed. Any payments required to be made by the Company under the Expense Support Agreement are referred to in this Registration Statement as a "Reimbursement Payment." "Available Operating Funds" means the sum of (i) the Company's net investment company taxable income (including net short-term capital gains reduced by net long-term capital losses), (ii) the Company's net capital gains (including the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) and (iii) dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts listed in clause (iii) are not included under clauses (i) and (ii) above).

The amount of the Reimbursement Payment for any calendar quarter will equal the lesser of (i) the Excess Operating Funds in such quarter and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Expense Payments made by the Advisor to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter that have not been previously reimbursed by the Company to the Advisor; provided that the Advisor may waive its right to receive all or a portion of any Reimbursement Payment in any particular calendar quarter, in which case such waived amount will remain unreimbursed Expense Payments reimbursable in future quarters pursuant to the terms of the Expense Support Agreement.

No Reimbursement Payment for any quarter shall be made if: (1) the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share (as defined below) declared by the Company at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is less than the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates, (2) the Company's Operating Expense Ratio at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is greater than the Operating Expense Ratio at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relate, or (3) the Company's Other Operating Expenses at the time of such Reimbursement Payment exceeds 1.00% of the Company's applicable quarter-end net asset value. The Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share means the annualized rate, based on a 365-day year, of regular cash distributions per share exclusive of returns of capital and declared special dividends or special distributions, if any. The Company's Operating Expense Ratio is calculated by dividing Operating Expenses (i.e. the Company's operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), less organizational and offering expenses, Base Management Fees and Incentive Fees owed to the Advisor, shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees, and interest expense, by the Company's net assets.

The Company's obligation to make a Reimbursement Payment will automatically become a liability of the Company on the last business day of the applicable calendar quarter, except to the extent the Advisor has waived its right to receive such payment for the applicable quarter. The Reimbursement Payment for any calendar quarter will be paid by the Company to the Advisor in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds as promptly as possible following such calendar quarter and in no event later than 45 days after the end of such calendar quarter. All Reimbursement Payments shall be deemed to relate to the earliest unreimbursed Expense Payments made by the Advisor to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of the calendar quarter in which such Reimbursement Payments obligation is accrued.

#### Notes to the Financial Statements<br>
Either the Company or the Advisor may terminate the Expense Support Agreement at any time, with or without notice, without the payment of any penalty, provided that any Expense Payments that have not been reimbursed by us to the Advisor will remain the obligation of the Company following any such termination, subject to the terms of the Expense Support Agreement.

4. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may become a party to certain legal proceedings during the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2022, management was not aware of any pending or threatened litigation.

5. Net Assets

As of December 31, 2022, no activities other than the sale and issuance of 500 Common Shares, at an aggregate purchase price of $10,000 ($20.00 per share) to the Advisor have occurred. The sale of Common Shares was approved by the unanimous consent of the Company's Board.

The Company is managed by the Advisor. No management fees will be earned by the Advisor until commencement of operations.

We are offering on a continuous basis our Common Shares (the "Private Offering"), pursuant to the terms set forth in subscription agreements that we will enter into with investors in connection with the Private Offering (each, a "Subscription Agreement"). Although the Common Shares in the Private Offering are being sold under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") only to investors that are "accredited investors" in accordance with Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and other exemptions of similar import in the laws of the states and jurisdictions where the offering will be made, there can be no assurance that we will not need to suspend our continuous offering for various reasons, including but not limited to regulatory review from the SEC and various state regulators, to the extent applicable.

The Company seeks to raise equity capital through private placements on a continuous basis through one or more closings ("Closings") at which the Company will accept funds from investors in connection with such investors' purchases of Common Shares (each such agreement, a "Subscription Agreement," the first such Closing the "Initial Closing" and each subsequent closing a "Subsequent Closing"). The Initial Closing is expected to occur during the first quarter of 2023 (the "Initial Closing Date"). Each Subsequent Closing will generally occur on a monthly basis on the last calendar day of the month or on a date as determined by the Company or the Advisor in its sole discretion.

Each investor is required to fully fund its subscription amount by wire to the Company's bank account on or before the last business day of the month of its respective Closing. Any shareholder that seeks to purchase additional Common Shares will be required to enter into an additional, short form Subscription Agreement with the Company (a "Short Form Subscription Agreement"). For the avoidance of doubt, each shareholder that enters into a Short Form Subscription Agreement will be required to fully fund its additional subscription amount by wire to the Company's bank account on or before the last business day of the month of its respective Closing. The minimum investment for any Subscription Agreement and any Short Form Subscription Agreement is $10,000.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has the authority to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares.

6. Subsequent Events

In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through January 13, 2023, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. The Company has determined that there were no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure as of December 31, 2022.

Article II<u><br> Board of Trustees</u> 

Section 2.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Number and Qualification</u>. As of the date hereof, the number of Trustees shall be five and the Trustees, as of the date hereof, shall be the signatories hereto. Thereafter, the number of Trustees shall be determined by a majority of the Trustees then in office in accordance with the Trust's By-Laws, provided that the number of Trustees shall be no less than one. No reduction in the number of Trustees shall have the effect of removing any Trustee from office prior to the expiration of his term. Trustees need not own Shares and may succeed themselves in office.

Section 2.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Initial Term; Term and Election; Classification of the Board of Trustees</u>. Prior to an Exchange Listing, the Board of Trustees shall consist of one class. Immediately prior to an Exchange Listing, the Board of Trustees shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III, as nearly equal in number as possible, and the term of office of all Class I, Class II and Class III Trustees shall expire one year, two years and three years, respectively, from the date on which the Board of Trustees was classified. In all cases, each Trustee's term shall extend until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Additional positions on the Board of Trustees resulting from an increase in the number of Trustees shall be apportioned among the classes as equally as possible. At each meeting of Shareholders, a number of Trustees equal to the number of Trustees of the class whose term expires at the time of such meeting (or, if less, the number of Trustees properly nominated and qualified for election) shall be elected to hold office until the three (3) year anniversary of such election. At each election, Trustees chosen to succeed those whose terms then expire shall be of the same class as the Trustees they succeed, unless by reason of any intervening changes in the authorized number of Trustees, the Board shall designate one or more Trustees positions whose term then expires as Trustees positions of another class in order to more nearly achieve equality of number of Trustees among the classes. Notwithstanding that the three classes shall be as nearly equal in number of Trustees as possible, in the event of any change in the authorized number of Trustees, each Trustee then continuing to serve as such shall nevertheless continue as a Trustee of the class of which such Trustee is a member until the expiration of his or her current term, or his or her prior death, resignation or removal. If any newly created Trustee position may, consistently with the provision that the three classes shall be as nearly equal in number of Trustees as possible, be allocated to any class, the Board of Trustees shall allocate it to that of the available class whose term of office is due to expire at the earliest date following such allocation.

------

Section 2.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Resignation and Removal</u>. Any of the Trustees may resign their trust (without need for prior or subsequent accounting) by an instrument in writing signed by such Trustee and delivered or mailed to the Trustees or the Chairperson, if any, the President or the Secretary and such resignation shall be effective upon such delivery, or at a later date according to the terms of the instrument. Any of the Trustees may be removed (provided the aggregate number of Trustees after such removal shall not be less than the minimum number required by Section 2.1 hereof) for cause only, and not without cause, and only by action taken by a majority of the remaining Trustees (or in the case of the removal of a Trustee that is not an "interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act a majority of the remaining Trustees that are not "interested persons" as defined in the 1940 Act) and by the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Shares then entitled to vote in an election of such Trustee. Upon the resignation or removal of a Trustee, each such resigning or removed Trustee shall execute and deliver such documents as the remaining Trustees shall require for the purpose of conveying to the Trust or the remaining Trustees any Trust Property held in the name of such resigning or removed Trustee. Upon the incapacity or death of any Trustee, such Trustee's legal representative shall execute and deliver on such Trustee's behalf such documents as the remaining Trustees shall require as provided in the preceding sentence. Except to the extent expressly provided in a written agreement with the Trust, no Trustee resigning and no Trustee removed shall have any right to any compensation for any period following the effective date of his resignation or removal, or any right to damages on account of a removal.

------

Section 2.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Meetings</u>. Meetings of the Trustees shall be held from time to time upon the call of the Chairperson, if any, or the President or a majority of the entire Board of Trustees. Regular meetings of the Trustees may be held without call or notice at a time and place fixed by the By-Laws, the Chairperson, President or by resolution or consent of the Trustees. Notice of any other meeting shall be given by the Secretary and shall be delivered to the Trustees orally or via electronic transmission not less than 24 hours, or in writing not less than 48 hours, before the meeting, but may be waived in writing by any Trustee either before or after such meeting. The attendance of a Trustee at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Trustee attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting has not been properly called or convened. Any time there is more than one Trustee, a quorum for all meetings of the Trustees shall be a majority of the entire Board of Trustees. Unless provided otherwise in this Declaration and except as required under the 1940 Act, any action of the Trustees may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the Trustees present (a quorum being present) or without a meeting by written consent of a majority of the Trustees.

Any committee of the Trustees, including an executive committee, if any, may act with or without a meeting. A quorum for all meetings of any such committee shall be a majority of the members thereof. Unless provided otherwise in this Declaration, any action of any such committee may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the members present (a quorum being present) or without a meeting by written consent as provided in Section 2.6.

With respect to actions of the Trustees and any committee of the Trustees, Trustees who are Interested Persons in any action to be taken may be counted for quorum purposes under this Section and shall be entitled to vote to the extent not prohibited by the 1940 Act.

All or any one or more Trustees may participate in a meeting of the Trustees or any committee thereof by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other; participation in a meeting pursuant to any such communications system shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

Section 2.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Trustee Action by Written Consent</u>. Any action which may be taken by Trustees by vote may be taken without a meeting if that number of the Trustees, or members of a committee, as the case may be, required for approval of such action at a meeting of the Trustees or of such committee consent to the action in writing and the written consents are filed with the records of the meetings of Trustees. Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as a vote taken at a meeting of Trustees.

Section 2.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Officers</u>. The Trustees shall elect a President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, one or more Vice Presidents, Secretary and Treasurer and may elect a Chairperson who shall serve at the pleasure of the Trustees or until their successors are elected. The Trustees may elect or appoint or may authorize the Chairman, if any, or President to appoint such other officers or agents with such powers as the Trustees may deem to be advisable. A Chairperson shall, and the President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, one or more Vice Presidents, Secretary and Treasurer may, but need not, be a Trustee. All officers shall owe to the Trust and its Shareholders the same fiduciary duties (and only such fiduciary duties) as owed by officers of corporations to such corporations and their stockholders under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

------

Section 2.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Principal Transactions</u>. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, the Trustees may, on behalf of the Trust, buy any securities from or sell any securities to, or lend any assets of the Trust to, any Trustee or officer of the Trust or any firm of which any such Trustee or officer is a member acting as principal, or have any such dealings with any Affiliated Person of the Trust, investment advisor, investment sub-advisor, distributor or transfer agent for the Trust or with any Interested Person of such Affiliated Person or other person; and the Trust may employ any such Affiliated Person or other person, or firm or company in which such Affiliated Person or other person is an Interested Person, as broker, legal counsel, registrar, investment advisor, investment sub-advisor, distributor, transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent, custodian or in any other capacity upon customary terms.

Article III<u><br> Powers and Duties of Trustees</u> 

Section 3.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>General</u>. The Trustees shall owe to the Trust and its Shareholders the same fiduciary duties (and only such fiduciary duties) as owed by directors of corporations to such corporations and their stockholders under the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Trustees may perform such acts as in their sole discretion are proper for conducting the business of the Trust. The enumeration of any specific power herein shall not be construed as limiting the aforesaid power. Such powers of the Trustees may be exercised without order of or resort to any court.

Section 3.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Investments</u>. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Trustees, the Trust's investment objectives are to maximize the total return to its shareholders in the form of current income and capital appreciation. The Trustees shall have power with respect to the Trust to manage, conduct, operate and carry on the business of a business development company.

Section 3.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Legal Title</u>. Legal title to all the Trust Property shall be vested in the Trust as a separate legal entity except that the Trustees shall have power to cause legal title to any Trust Property to be held by or in the name of one or more of the Trustees, or in the name of any other Person as nominee, custodian or pledgee, on such terms as the Trustees may determine, provided that the interest of the Trust therein is appropriately protected.

To the extent any Trust Property is titled in the name of one or more Trustees, the right, title and interest of such Trustees in the Trust Property shall vest automatically in each person who may hereafter become a Trustee upon his due election and qualification. Upon the ceasing of any person to be a Trustee for any reason, such person shall automatically cease to have any right, title or interest in any of the Trust Property, and the right, title and interest of such Trustee in the Trust Property shall vest automatically in the remaining Trustees. Such vesting and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents have been executed and delivered.

------

Section 3.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Issuance and Repurchase of Shares</u>. The Trustees shall have the power to issue, sell, repurchase, redeem, retire, cancel, acquire, hold, resell, reissue, dispose of, transfer, and otherwise deal in, Shares, including Shares in fractional denominations, and, subject to the more detailed provisions set forth in Article VIII, to apply to any such repurchase, redemption, retirement, cancellation or acquisition of Shares any funds or property. The Trustees may establish, from time to time, a program or programs by which the Trust voluntarily repurchases Shares from the Shareholders; provided, however, that such repurchases do not impair the capital or operations of the Trust.

Section 3.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Borrow Money or Utilize Leverage</u>. The Trustees shall have the power to cause the Trust to borrow money or otherwise obtain credit or utilize leverage to the maximum extent permitted by law or regulation as such may be needed from time to time and to secure the same by mortgaging, pledging or otherwise subjecting as security the assets of the Trust, including the lending of portfolio securities, and to endorse, guarantee, or undertake the performance of any obligation, contract or engagement of any other person, firm, association or corporation. In addition and notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration, the Trust is hereby authorized to borrow funds, incur indebtedness and guarantee obligations of any Person, and in connection therewith, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Trustees, on behalf of the Trust, are hereby authorized to pledge, hypothecate, mortgage, assign, transfer or grant security interests in or other liens on the Shareholders' subscription agreements and any other assets, rights or remedies of the Trust or of the Trustees hereunder or under the subscription agreements. Notwithstanding any provision in this Declaration, the Trust may borrow funds, incur indebtedness and enter into guarantees together with one or more Persons on a joint and several basis or on any other basis that the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, determines is fair and reasonable to the Trust. All rights granted to a lender pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall apply to its agents and its successors and permitted assigns.

Section 3.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Delegation; Committees</u>. The Trustees shall have the power to delegate from time to time to such of their number or to officers, employees or agents of the Trust the doing of such things, including any matters set forth in this Declaration, and the execution of such instruments either in the name of the Trust or the names of the Trustees or otherwise as the Trustees may deem expedient. The Trustees may designate one or more committees which shall have all or such lesser portion of the authority of the entire Board of Trustees as the Trustees shall determine from time to time except to the extent action by the entire Board of Trustees or particular Trustees is required by the 1940 Act.

Section 3.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Collection and Payment</u>. The Trustees shall have power to collect all property due to the Trust; to pay all claims, including taxes, against the Trust Property or the Trust, the Trustees or any officer, employee or agent of the Trust; to prosecute, defend, compromise or abandon any claims relating to the Trust Property or the Trust, or the Trustees or any officer, employee or agent of the Trust; to foreclose any security interest securing any obligations, by virtue of which any property is owed to the Trust; and to enter into releases, agreements and other instruments.

------

Section 3.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>By-Laws</u>. The Trustees shall have the exclusive authority to adopt and from time to time amend or repeal By-Laws for the conduct of the business of the Trust.

Section 3.9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Miscellaneous Powers</u>. Without limiting the general or further powers of the Trustees, they shall have the power to: (a) employ or contract with such Persons as the Trustees may deem desirable for the transaction of the business of the Trust; (b) enter into joint ventures, partnerships and any other combinations or associations; (c) purchase, and pay for out of Trust Property, insurance policies insuring the Shareholders, Trustees, officers, employees, agents, investment advisors, distributors, selected dealers or independent contractors of the Trust against all claims arising by reason of holding any such position or by reason of any action taken or omitted by any such Person in such capacity, whether or not constituting negligence, or whether or not the Trust would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability; (d) establish pension, profit-sharing, share purchase, and other retirement, incentive and benefit plans for any Trustees, officers, employees and agents of the Trust; (e) make donations, irrespective of benefit to the Trust, for charitable, religious, educational, scientific, civic or similar purposes; (f) to the extent permitted by law, indemnify any Person with whom the Trust has dealings, including without limitation any advisor, administrator, manager, transfer agent, custodian, distributor or selected dealer, or any other person as the Trustees may see fit to such extent as the Trustees shall determine; (g) guarantee indebtedness or contractual obligations of others; and (h) determine and change the fiscal year of the Trust and the method in which its accounts shall be kept.

Section 3.10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Further Powers</u>. The Trustees shall have the power to conduct the business of the Trust and carry on its operations in any and all of its branches and maintain offices both within and without the State of Delaware, in any and all states of the United States of America, in the District of Columbia, and in any and all commonwealths, territories, dependencies, colonies, possessions, agencies or instrumentalities of the United States of America and of foreign governments, and to do all such other things and execute all such instruments as they deem necessary, proper or desirable in order to promote the interests of the Trust although such things are not herein specifically mentioned. Any determination as to what is in the interests of the Trust made by the Trustees in good faith shall be conclusive. In construing the provisions of this Declaration, the presumption shall be in favor of a grant of power to the Trustees.

Section 3.11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Sole Discretion; Good Faith; Corporate Opportunities of Advisor</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration or otherwise applicable law, whenever in this Declaration the Trustees are permitted or required to make a decision:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; in their "discretion" or under a grant of similar authority, the Trustees shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as they desire, including their own interest, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Trust or any other Person; or

To the extent that the Advisor acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Trust, it shall not have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Trust, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and any applicable co-investment order issued by the Commission, and the Advisor shall not be liable to the Trust or to the Shareholders for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that the Advisor pursues or acquires for, or directs such opportunity to, another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Trust. Neither the Trust nor any Shareholder shall have any rights or obligations by virtue of this Declaration or the trust relationship created hereby in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits or losses derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the activities of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

The Trustees shall fix the compensation of all officers, employees and Trustees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Trust shall bear and be responsible for all costs and expenses of the Trust's operations, administration and transactions, including, but not limited to fees and expenses paid for investment advisory, administrative or other services and all other expenses of its operations and transactions.

Section 4.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Advisory and Management Arrangements</u>. Subject to the requirements of applicable law as in effect from time to time, the Trustees may in their discretion from time to time enter into advisory, administration or management contracts (including, in each case, one or more sub-advisory, sub-administration or sub-management contracts) whereby the other party to any such contract shall undertake to furnish such advisory, administrative and management services with respect to the Trust as the Trustees shall from time to time consider desirable and all upon such terms and conditions as the Trustees may in their discretion determine. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Declaration, the Trustees may authorize any advisor, administrator or manager (subject to such general or specific instructions as the Trustees may from time to time adopt) to exercise any of the powers of the Trustees, including to effect investment transactions with respect to the assets on behalf of the Trust to the full extent of the power of the Trustees to effect such transactions or may authorize any officer, employee or Trustee to effect such transactions pursuant to recommendations of any such advisor, administrator or manager (and all without further action by the Trustees) Any such investment transaction shall be deemed to have been authorized by all of the Trustees.

Section 4.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Distribution Arrangements</u>. Subject to compliance with the 1940 Act, the Trustees may retain underwriters, distributors and/or placement agents to sell Shares and other securities of the Trust. The Trustees may in their discretion from time to time enter into one or more contracts, providing for the sale of securities of the Trust, whereby the Trust may either agree to sell such securities to the other party to the contract or appoint such other party its sales agent for such securities. In either case, the contract shall be on such terms and conditions as the Trustees may in their discretion determine not inconsistent with the provisions of this Article IV or the By-Laws; and such contract may also provide for the repurchase or sale of securities of the Trust by such other party as principal or as agent of the Trust and may provide that such other party may enter into selected dealer agreements and servicing and similar agreements to further the purposes of the distribution or repurchase of the securities of the Trust.

Section 4.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Parties to Contract</u>. Any contract of the character described in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of this Article IV or in Article VII hereof may be entered into with any Person, although one or more of the Trustees, officers or employees of the Trust may be an officer, director, Trustee, shareholder, or member of such other party to the contract, and no such contract shall be invalidated or rendered voidable by reason of the existence of any such relationship, nor shall any Person holding such relationship be liable merely by reason of such relationship for any loss or expense to the Trust under or by reason of said contract or accountable for any profit realized directly or indirectly therefrom, provided that the contract when entered into was reasonable and fair and not inconsistent with the provisions of this Article IV or the By-Laws. The same Person may be the other party to contracts entered into pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 4.3 above or Article VII, and any individual may be financially interested or otherwise affiliated with Persons who are parties to any or all of the contracts mentioned in this Section 4.4.

Article V<u><br> Limitations of Liability and Indemnification</u>

Section 5.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>No Personal Liability of Shareholders, Trustees, etc.</u> No Shareholder of the Trust shall be subject in such capacity to any personal liability whatsoever to any Person in connection with Trust Property or the acts, obligations or affairs of the Trust. Shareholders shall have the same limitation of personal liability as is extended to stockholders of a private corporation for profit incorporated under the Delaware General Corporation Law. No Trustee or officer of the Trust shall be subject in such capacity to any personal liability whatsoever to any Person, save only liability to the Trust or its Shareholders arising from bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard for his duty to such Person; and, subject to the foregoing exception, all such Persons shall look solely to the Trust Property for satisfaction of claims of any nature arising in connection with the affairs of the Trust. If any Shareholder, Trustee or officer, as such, of the Trust, is made a party to any suit or proceeding to enforce any such liability, subject to the foregoing exception, he shall not, on account thereof, be held to any personal liability. Any repeal or modification of this Section 5.1 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Trustee or officer of the Trust existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

Section 5.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Mandatory Indemnification</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Trust hereby agrees to indemnify each person who at any time serves as a Trustee, officer or employee of the Trust (each such person being an "indemnitee") against any liabilities and expenses, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and reasonable counsel fees reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or investigative body in which he may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which he may be or may have been threatened, while acting in any capacity set forth in this Article V by reason of his having acted in any such capacity, except with respect to any matter as to which he shall not have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of the Trust or, in the case of any criminal proceeding, as to which he shall have had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful, provided, however, that no indemnitee shall be indemnified hereunder against any liability to any person or any expense of such indemnitee arising by reason of (i) willful misconduct, (ii) bad faith, (iii) gross negligence, or (iv) reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his position (the conduct referred to in such clauses (i) through (iv) being sometimes referred to herein as "<u>disabling conduct</u>"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any action, suit or other proceeding voluntarily prosecuted by any indemnitee as plaintiff, indemnification shall be mandatory only if the prosecution of such action, suit or other proceeding by such indemnitee (1) was authorized by a majority of the Trustees or (2) was instituted by the indemnitee to enforce his or her rights to indemnification hereunder in a case in which the indemnitee is found to be entitled to such indemnification. The rights to indemnification set forth in this Declaration shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Trustee or officer of the Trust and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. No amendment or restatement of this Declaration or repeal of any of its provisions shall limit or eliminate any of the benefits provided to any person who at any time is or was a Trustee or officer of the Trust or otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder in respect of any act or omission that occurred prior to such amendment, restatement or repeal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be made hereunder unless there has been a determination (i) by a final decision on the merits by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction before whom the issue of entitlement to indemnification hereunder was brought that such indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder or, (ii) in the absence of such a decision, by (1) a majority vote of a quorum of those Trustees who are neither Interested Persons of the Trust (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) nor parties to the proceeding ("<u>Disinterested Non-Party Trustees</u>"), that the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or (2) if such quorum is not obtainable or even if obtainable, if such majority so directs, independent legal counsel in a written opinion concludes that the indemnitee should be entitled to indemnification hereunder. All determinations to make advance payments in connection with the expense of defending any proceeding shall be authorized and made in accordance with the immediately succeeding paragraph (c) below.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Trust shall make advance payments in connection with the expenses of defending any action with respect to which indemnification might be sought hereunder if the Trust receives a written affirmation by the indemnitee of the indemnitee's good faith belief that the standards of conduct necessary for indemnification have been met and a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust unless it is subsequently determined that the indemnitee is entitled to such indemnification and if a majority of the Trustees determine that the applicable standards of conduct necessary for indemnification appear to have been met. In addition, at least one of the following conditions must be met: (i) the indemnitee shall provide adequate security for his undertaking, (ii) the Trust shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances, or (iii) a majority of a quorum of the Disinterested Non-Party Trustees, or if a majority vote of such quorum so direct, independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall conclude, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that there is substantial reason to believe that the indemnitee ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The rights accruing to any indemnitee under these provisions shall not exclude any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under this Declaration, the By-Laws of the Trust, any statute, agreement, vote of Shareholders or Trustees who are not Interested Persons or any other right to which he or she may be lawfully entitled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Subject to any limitations provided by the 1940 Act and this Declaration, the Trust shall have the power and authority to indemnify and provide for the advance payment of expenses to employees, agents and other Persons providing services to the Trust or serving in any capacity at the request of the Trust or provide for the advance payment of expenses for such Persons, provided that such indemnification has been approved by a majority of the Trustees.

Section 5.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>No Bond Required of Trustees</u>. No Trustee shall, as such, be obligated to give any bond or other security for the performance of any of his duties hereunder.

Section 5.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>No Duty of Investigation; No Notice in Trust Instruments, etc.</u> No purchaser, lender, transfer agent or other person dealing with the Trustees or with any officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall be bound to make any inquiry concerning the validity of any transaction purporting to be made by the Trustees or by said officer, employee or agent or be liable for the application of money or property paid, loaned, or delivered to or on the order of the Trustees or of said officer, employee or agent. Every obligation, contract, undertaking, instrument, certificate, Share, other security of the Trust, and every other act or thing whatsoever executed in connection with the Trust shall be conclusively taken to have been executed or done by the executors thereof only in their capacity as Trustees under this Declaration or in their capacity as officers, employees or agents of the Trust. The Trustees may maintain insurance for the protection of the Trust Property, the Shareholders, Trustees, officers, employees and agents in such amount as the Trustees shall deem adequate to cover possible tort liability, and such other insurance as the Trustees in their sole judgment shall deem advisable or is required by the 1940 Act.

------

Section 5.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Reliance on Experts, etc.</u> Each Trustee and officer or employee of the Trust shall, in the performance of its duties, be fully and completely justified and protected with regard to any act or any failure to act resulting from reliance in good faith upon the books of account or other records of the Trust, upon an opinion of counsel, or upon reports made to the Trust by any of the Trust's officers or employees or by any advisor, administrator, manager, distributor, selected dealer, accountant, appraiser or other expert or consultant selected with reasonable care by the Trustees, officers or employees of the Trust, regardless of whether such counsel or expert may also be a Trustee.

Article VI<u><br> Shares of Beneficial Interest</u> 

Section 6.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Beneficial Interest</u>. The beneficial interest in the Trust shall be divided into an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share. Such Shares of beneficial interest may be issued in different classes and/or series of beneficial interests. All Shares issued in accordance with the terms hereof, including, without limitation, Shares issued in connection with a dividend in Shares or a split of Shares, shall be fully paid and nonassessable when the consideration determined by the Trustees (if any) therefor shall have been received by the Trust.

Section 6.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Other Securities</u>. The Trustees may, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, authorize and issue such other securities of the Trust as they determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, having such terms, rights, preferences, privileges, limitations and restrictions as the Trustees see fit, including preferred interests, debt securities or other senior securities. To the extent that the Trustees authorize and issue preferred shares of any class or series, they are hereby authorized and empowered to amend or supplement this Declaration as they deem necessary or appropriate, including to comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act or requirements imposed by the rating agencies or other Persons, all without the approval of Shareholders. Any such supplement or amendment shall be filed as is necessary. In addition, any such supplement or amendment may set forth the rights, powers, preferences and privileges of such preferred shares and any such supplement or amendment shall operate either as additions to or modifications of the rights, powers, preferences and privileges of any such preferred shares under this Declaration. To the extent the provisions set forth in such supplement or amendment conflict with the provisions of this Declaration with respect to any such rights, powers and privileges of the preferred shares, such amendment or supplement shall control. Except as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, this Declaration shall control as to the Trust generally and the rights, powers, preferences and privileges of the other Shareholders of the Trust. The Trustees are also authorized to take such actions and retain such persons as they see fit to offer and sell such securities.

Section 6.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Rights of Shareholders</u>. The Shares shall be personal property giving only the rights in this Declaration specifically set forth. The ownership of the Trust Property of every description and the right to conduct any business herein before described are vested exclusively in the Trust, and the Shareholders shall have no interest therein other than the beneficial interest conferred by their Shares, and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of any property, profits, rights or interests of the Trust nor can they be called upon to share or assume any losses of the Trust or suffer an assessment of any kind by virtue of their ownership of Shares. The Shares shall not entitle the holder to preference, preemptive, appraisal, conversion or exchange rights (except as specified by the Trustees when creating the Shares, as in preferred shares).

------

Section 6.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Trust Only</u>. It is the intention of the Trustees to create only the relationship of Trustee and beneficiary between the Trustees and each Shareholder from time to time. It is not the intention of the Trustees to create a general partnership, limited partnership, joint stock association, corporation, bailment or any form of legal relationship other than a Delaware statutory trust. Nothing in this Declaration shall be construed to make the Shareholders, either by themselves or with the Trustees, partners or members of a joint stock association.

Section 6.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Issuance of Shares</u>. The Trustees, in their discretion, may from time to time without vote of the Shareholders issue Shares including preferred shares that may have been established pursuant to Section 6.2, in addition to the then issued and outstanding Shares and Shares held in the treasury, to such party or parties and for such amount and type of consideration, including cash or property, at such time or times, and on such terms as the Trustees may determine, and may in such manner acquire other assets (including the acquisition of assets subject to, and in connection with the assumption of, liabilities) and businesses. The Trustees may from time to time, without a vote of the Shareholders, divide, reclassify or combine the Shares into a greater or lesser number without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interest in such Shares. Issuances and redemptions of Shares may be made in whole Shares and/or 1/1,000ths of a Share or multiples thereof as the Trustees may determine.

Section 6.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Register of Shares</u>. A register shall be kept at the offices of the Trust or any transfer agent duly appointed by the Trustees under the direction of the Trustees which shall contain the names and addresses of the Shareholders and the number of Shares held by them respectively and a record of all transfers thereof. Separate registers shall be established and maintained for each class or series of Shares. Each such register shall be conclusive as to who are the holders of the Shares of the applicable class or series of Shares and who shall be entitled to receive dividends or distributions or otherwise to exercise or enjoy the rights of Shareholders. No Shareholder shall be entitled to receive payment of any dividend or distribution, nor to have notice given to him as herein provided, until he has given his address to a transfer agent or such other officer or agent of the Trustees as shall keep the register for entry thereon. It is not contemplated that certificates will be issued for the Shares; however, the Trustees, in their discretion, may authorize the issuance of share certificates and promulgate appropriate fees therefore and rules and regulations as to their use.

Section 6.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Transfer Agent and Registrar</u>. The Trustees shall have power to employ a transfer agent or transfer agents, and a registrar or registrars, with respect to the Shares. The transfer agent or transfer agents may keep the applicable register and record therein, the original issues and transfers, if any, of the said Shares. Any such transfer agents and/or registrars shall perform the duties usually performed by transfer agents and registrars of certificates of stock in a corporation, as modified by the Trustees.

------

Section 6.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Transfer of Shares</u>. Except as otherwise provided by the Trustees, transfers of Shares shall be made on the records of the Trust only by the record holder thereof or by its agent thereto duly authorized in writing, upon delivery to the Trustees or a transfer agent of the Trust of a duly executed instrument of transfer, together with such evidence of the genuineness of each such execution and authorization and of other matters (including compliance with any securities laws and contractual restrictions) as may reasonably be required. If a transfer is approved by the Trust, upon such delivery the transfer shall be recorded on the applicable register of the Trust. Until such record is made, the Shareholder of record shall be deemed to be the holder of such Shares for all purposes hereof and neither the Trustees nor any transfer agent or registrar nor any officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall be affected by any notice of the proposed transfer.

Any person becoming entitled to any Shares in consequence of the death, bankruptcy, or incompetence of any Shareholder, or otherwise by operation of law, shall be recorded on the applicable register of Shares as the holder of such Shares upon production of the proper evidence thereof to the Trustees or a transfer agent of the Trust, but until such record is made, the Shareholder of record shall be deemed to be the holder of such for all purposes hereof, and neither the Trustees nor any transfer agent or registrar nor any officer or agent of the Trust shall be affected by any notice of such death, bankruptcy or incompetence, or other operation of law.

Section 6.9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Notices</u>. Any and all notices to which any Shareholder hereunder may be entitled and any and all communications shall be deemed duly served or given if mailed, postage prepaid, addressed to any Shareholder of record at his last known address as recorded on the applicable register of the Trust.

Section 6.10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Derivative Actions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No person, other than a Trustee, who is not a Shareholder shall be entitled to bring any derivative action, suit or other proceeding on behalf of the Trust. No Shareholder may maintain a derivative action on behalf of the Trust unless holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Shares join in the bringing of such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 3816 of the Delaware Statutory Trust Statute, a Shareholder may bring a derivative action on behalf of the Trust only if the following conditions are met: (i) the Shareholder or Shareholders must make a pre-suit demand upon the Trustees to bring the subject action unless an effort to cause the Trustees to bring such an action is not likely to succeed; and a demand on the Trustees shall only be deemed not likely to succeed and therefore excused if a majority of the Trustees, or a majority of any committee established to consider the merits of such action, is composed of Trustees who are not "independent trustees" (as that term is defined in the Delaware Statutory Trust Statute); and (ii) unless a demand is not required under clause (i) of this paragraph, the Trustees must be afforded a reasonable amount of time to consider such Shareholder request and to investigate the basis of such claim; and the Trustees shall be entitled to retain counsel or other advisors in considering the merits of the request and may require an undertaking by the Shareholders making such request to reimburse the Trust for the expense of any such advisors in the event that the Trustees determine not to bring such action. For purposes of this Section 6.10, the Trustees may designate a committee of one or more Trustees to consider a Shareholder demand.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This Section 6.10 shall not apply to any claims, suits, actions, or proceedings brought under federal securities law, or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Article VII<u><br> Custodians</u> 

Section 7.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Appointment and Duties</u>. The Trustees may employ a custodian or custodians meeting the qualifications for custodians for portfolio securities of investment companies contained in the 1940 Act, as custodian with respect to the assets of the Trust. Any custodian shall have authority as agent of the Trust as determined by the custodian agreement or agreements, but subject to such restrictions, limitations and other requirements, if any, as may be contained in the By-Laws of the Trust and the 1940 Act, including without limitation authority:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to hold the securities owned by the Trust and deliver the same upon written order;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to receive any receipt for any moneys due to the Trust and deposit the same in its own banking department (if a bank) or elsewhere as the Trustees may direct;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to disburse such funds upon orders or vouchers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if authorized to do so by the Trustees, to compute the net income or net asset value of the Trust;

all upon such basis of compensation as may be agreed upon between the Trustees and the custodian.

The Trustees may also authorize each custodian to employ one or more sub-custodians from time to time to perform such of the acts and services of the custodian and upon such terms and conditions, as may be agreed upon between the custodian and such sub-custodian and approved by the Trustees, provided that in every case such sub-custodian shall meet the qualifications for custodians contained in the 1940 Act.

Section 7.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Central Certificate System</u>. Subject to such rules, regulations and orders as the Commission may adopt, the Trustees may direct the custodian to deposit all or any part of the securities owned by the Trust in a system for the central handling of securities established by a national securities exchange or a national securities association registered with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or such other Person as may be permitted by the Commission, or otherwise in accordance with the 1940 Act, pursuant to which system all securities of any particular class of any issuer deposited within the system are treated as fungible and may be transferred or pledged by bookkeeping entry without physical delivery of such securities, provided that all such deposits shall be subject to withdrawal only upon the order of the Trust.

Section 8.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Redemption by Trust</u>. Each Share is subject to redemption (out of the assets of the Trust) by the Trust at the redemption price equal to the then current net asset value per Share of the Trust determined in accordance with Section 9.1 at any time if the Trustees determine in their sole discretion that a Shareholder has breached any of its representations or warranties contained in such Shareholder's subscription agreement with the Trust, and upon such redemption the holders of the Shares so redeemed shall have no further right with respect thereto other than to receive payment of such redemption price.

Article IX<u><br> Net Asset Value and Distributions</u> 

Section 9.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Net Asset Value</u>. The net asset value of each outstanding Share of the Trust shall be determined quarterly and at such time or times on such days as the Trustees may determine, in accordance with the 1940 Act.

Section 9.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Distributions to Shareholders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Trustees may from time to time distribute ratably among the Shareholders of any class of Shares, or any series of any such class, in accordance with the number of outstanding full and fractional Shares of such class or any series of such class, such proportion of the net profits, surplus (including paid-in surplus), capital, or assets held by the Trust as the Trustees may deem proper or as may otherwise be determined in accordance with this Declaration.

This Declaration expressly provides that no matter for which voting, consent or other approval is required by the Delaware Statutory Trust Statute in the absence of the contrary provision in the Declaration shall require any vote. Except as otherwise provided herein, any matter required to be submitted to Shareholders and affecting one or more classes or series of Shares shall require approval by the required vote of all the affected classes and series of Shares voting together as a single class; provided, however, that as to any matter with respect to which a separate vote of any class or series of Shares is required by the 1940 Act, such requirement as to a separate vote by that class or series of Shares shall apply in addition to a vote of all the affected classes and series voting together as a single class.

A proxy purporting to be executed or authorized by or on behalf of a Shareholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. If the holder of any such Share is a minor or a person of unsound mind, and subject to guardianship or to the legal control of any other person as regards the charge or management of such Share, he may vote by his guardian or such other person appointed or having such control, and such vote may be given in person or by proxy.

The Trust shall be of the type commonly called a "statutory trust", and without limiting the provisions hereof, the Trust may exercise all powers which are ordinarily exercised by such a trust under Delaware law. The Trust specifically reserves the right to exercise any of the powers or privileges afforded to trusts or actions that may be engaged in by trusts under the Delaware Statutory Trust Statute, and the absence of a specific reference herein to any such power, privilege or action shall not imply that the Trust may not exercise such power or privilege or take such actions.

This Declaration may be simultaneously executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same instrument, which shall be sufficiently evidenced by any such original counterpart.

Section 13.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Reliance by Third Parties</u>. Any certificate executed by an individual who, according to the records of the Trust, or of any recording office in which this Declaration may be recorded, appears to be a Trustee hereunder, certifying to: (a) the number or identity of Trustees or Shareholders, (b) the name of the Trust, (c) the due authorization of the execution of any instrument or writing, (d) the form of any vote passed at a meeting of Trustees or Shareholders, (e) the fact that the number of Trustees or Shareholders present at any meeting or executing any written instrument satisfies the requirements of this Declaration, (f) the form of any By-Laws adopted by or the identity of any officers elected by the Trustees, or (g) the existence of any fact or facts which in any manner relate to the affairs of the Trust, shall be conclusive evidence as to the matters so certified in favor of any person dealing with the Trustees and their successors.

Section 13.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Provisions in Conflict with Law or Regulation</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The provisions of this Declaration are severable, and if the Trustees shall determine, with the advice of counsel, that any of such provisions is in conflict with the 1940 Act, the regulated investment company provisions of the Code or with other applicable laws and regulations, the conflicting provision shall be deemed never to have constituted a part of this Declaration; provided, however, that such determination shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this Declaration or render invalid or improper any action taken or omitted prior to such determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If any provision of this Declaration shall be held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision in such jurisdiction and shall not in any manner affect such provision in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Declaration in any jurisdiction.

**Article II.**

**<u>MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Place of Meetings</u>. All meetings of the shareholders shall be held at such time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Trustees and stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Annual Meetings</u>. An annual meeting of shareholders shall not be required in any year in which the election of Trustees is not required to be held under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time, and the rules promulgated thereunder (the "<u>1940 Act</u>"). The failure to hold an annual meeting shall not invalidate the Company's existence or affect any otherwise valid corporate act of the Company. An annual meeting of shareholders shall be held on such date and at such time as may be fixed by the Board of Trustees and stated in the notice of the meeting, for the purpose of electing Trustees and for the transaction of only such other business as is properly brought before the meeting in accordance with these by-laws (the "<u>By-laws</u>").

Written notice of an annual meeting stating the place, date and hour of the meeting, shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the annual meeting.

To be properly brought before the annual meeting, business must be either (i) brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees, (ii) pursuant to the notice of meeting or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by a shareholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice procedures of these By-laws. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Company. To be timely, the shareholder's notice must be delivered by a nationally recognized courier service or mailed by first class United States mail, postage or delivery charges prepaid, and received at the principal executive offices of the Company addressed to the attention of the Secretary of the Company not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days in advance of the anniversary of the date the Company's proxy statement was released to the shareholders in connection with the previous year's annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has been changed by more than thirty (30) days from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year's proxy statement, notice by the shareholder must be received by the Secretary of the Company not later than the close of business on the later of (x) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and (y) the seventh (7th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. A shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth (i) as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and (b) any material interest of the shareholder in such business, and (ii) as to the shareholder giving the notice (a) the name and record address of the shareholder and (b) the class, series and number of shares of beneficial interest of the Company ("<u>Shares</u>") which are beneficially owned by the shareholder. Notwithstanding anything in these By-laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.2. The officer of the Company presiding at an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the annual meeting that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2, and, if such officer should so determine, such officer shall so declare to the annual meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Special Meetings</u>. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act ("<u>DSTA</u>") or by the declaration of trust of the Company, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the "<u>Declaration of Trust</u>"), by the Secretary only at the request of the Chairperson of the Board, the President or by a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

Unless otherwise provided by law, written notice of a special meeting of shareholders, stating the time, place and purpose or purposes thereof, shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting, not less than ten (10) or more than sixty (60) days before the date fixed for the meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of shareholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Trustees at a special meeting may be made only (1) by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees, (2) provided that the Board of Trustees has determined that Trustees will be elected at the meeting, by a shareholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice provisions of the By-laws.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Quorum</u>. The holders of at least one-third of the Shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the shareholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by the DSTA or by the Declaration of Trust. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the shareholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Organization</u>. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees shall act as Chairperson of meetings of the shareholders. The Board of Trustees may designate any other officer or Trustee of the Company to act as Chairperson of any meeting in the absence of the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees, and the Board of Trustees may further provide for determining who shall act as Chairperson of any shareholders meeting in the absence of the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees and such designee.

The Secretary of the Company shall act as secretary of all meetings of the shareholders, but, in the absence of the Secretary, the presiding officer may appoint any other person to act as secretary of any meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Voting</u>. Unless otherwise required by law, the Declaration of Trust or these By-laws, any question (other than the election of Trustees) properly brought before any meeting of shareholders shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or by proxy at an annual or special meeting duly called for such purpose and entitled to vote thereat. At all meetings of shareholders for the election of Trustees, Trustees shall be elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or by proxy at an annual or special meeting duly called for such purpose and entitled to vote thereat. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in a contested election, Trustees shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders duly called and at which a quorum is present. An election shall be considered contested if, as of the date of the proxy statement for the meeting of shareholders at which Trustees are to be elected, there are more nominees for election than the number of Trustees to be elected. Each shareholder represented at a meeting of shareholders shall be entitled to cast one vote for each Share entitled to vote thereat held by such shareholder, unless otherwise provided by the Declaration of Trust. Each shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize any person or persons to act for him, her or it by proxy. All proxies shall be executed in writing and shall be filed with the Secretary of the Company not later than the day on which exercised. No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The Board of Trustees, in its discretion, or the officer of the Company presiding at a meeting of shareholders, in his or her discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Action of Shareholders Without Meeting</u>. Except as may otherwise be required by the DSTA or in the Declaration of Trust, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of the outstanding Shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Voting List</u>. The officer who has charge of the share ledger of the Company shall prepare and make, no later than the tenth day before each meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each shareholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each shareholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any shareholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of ten (10) days ending on the day before the meeting date, either on a reasonably accessible electronic network, or, during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Company, as specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not specified, at the place where said meeting is to be held..

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Adjournment</u>. Any meeting of the shareholders, including one at which Trustees are to be elected, may be adjourned for such periods as the presiding officer of the meeting or the shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote shall direct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Ratification</u>. Any transaction questioned in any shareholders' derivative suit, or any other suit to enforce alleged rights of the Company or any of its shareholders, on the ground of lack of authority, defective or irregular execution, adverse interest of any Trustee, officer or shareholder, nondisclosure, miscomputation or the application of improper principles or practices of accounting may be approved, ratified and confirmed before or after judgment by the Board of Trustees or by the holders of Shares and, if so approved, ratified or confirmed, shall have the same force and effect as if the questioned transaction had been originally duly authorized, and said approval, ratification or confirmation shall be binding upon the Company and all of its shareholders and shall constitute a bar to any claim or execution of any judgment in respect of such questioned transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Inspectors of Election</u>. The Company shall, in advance of any meeting of shareholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Company may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of shareholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector shall: (1) decide upon the qualifications of voters; (2) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each; (3) determine the shares represented at a meeting and the validity of the proxies of ballots; (4) count all votes and ballots; (5) declare the results; (6) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors; and (7) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of the inspectors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The record date for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Trustees adopts the resolution relating thereto.

A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Trustees may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular, or special meeting of the shareholders, Trustees, or members of a committee of Trustees need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Declaration of Trust.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company shall indemnify any person (other than with respect to claims resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office) who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To the extent that a present or former Trustee or officer of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 7.1 or 7.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Any indemnification under Section 7.1 or 7.2 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Trustee or officer is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such section. Such determination shall be made:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; by the Board of Trustees by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Trustees who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; by a committee of such Trustees designated by majority vote of such Trustees, even though less than a quorum;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, if there are no such Trustees, or such Trustees so direct; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; by the shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For purposes of this Article, references to "the Company" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Company's Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, dated as of January 3, 2023 (as it may be amended from time to time, the "<u>Private Placement Memorandum</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Duties of the Advisor</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company hereby engages the Advisor to act as the investment adviser to the Company and to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Company, subject to the supervision of the Company's Board of Trustees (the "<u>Board</u>"), for the period and upon the terms herein set forth, (i) in accordance with the investment objectives, policies and restrictions that are set forth in the Private Placement Memorandum, and in any registration statements filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>SEC</u>"); (ii) during the term of this Agreement in accordance with all other applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and the Company's organizational documents, as the same may be amended or restated from time to time; and (iii) the Advisor will manage the assets of the Company in accordance with the Investment Company Act and such policies and instructions as the Board may establish.

The authority of the Advisor conferred pursuant to this Agreement shall apply equally in respect of any SPV of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Advisor hereby accepts such engagement and agrees during the term hereof to render the services described herein for the compensation provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Advisor is hereby authorized to enter into one or more sub-advisory agreements with other investment advisers (each, a "<u>Sub-Advisor</u>") pursuant to which the Advisor may obtain the services of the Sub-Advisor(s) to assist the Advisor in fulfilling its responsibilities hereunder. Specifically, the Advisor may retain a Sub-Advisor to recommend specific securities or other investments based upon the Company's investment objectives and policies, and work, along with the Advisor, in structuring, negotiating, arranging or effecting the acquisition or disposition of such investments and monitoring investments on behalf of the Company, subject to the oversight of the Advisor and the Company. The Advisor shall be responsible for any compensation payable to any Sub-Advisor. Nothing in this Subsection 2(c) will obligate the Advisor to pay any expenses that are the expenses of the Company under Section 3 hereof. Any sub-advisory agreement entered into by the Advisor shall be subject to approval by the Board as required by Section 15 of the Investment Company Act and shall otherwise be in accordance with the requirements of the Investment Company Act and other applicable federal and state law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Advisor shall for all purposes herein provided be deemed to be an independent contractor and, except as expressly provided or authorized herein, shall have no authority to act for or represent the Company in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Advisor shall keep and preserve for the period required by the Investment Company Act any books and records relevant to the provision of its investment advisory services to the Company and shall specifically maintain all books and records in accordance with Section 31(a) of the Investment Company Act with respect to the Company's portfolio transactions and shall render to the Company's Board such periodic and special reports as the Board may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; All personnel of the Advisor, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory and management services hereunder, and the compensation and routine overhead expenses of such personnel allocable to such services, will be provided and paid for by the Advisor and not by the Company, except as provided below.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To the extent that expenses to be borne by the Company are paid by the Advisor and/or one or more administrators of the Company (each, together with any successor thereto, an "<u>Administrator</u>"), the Company will reimburse the Advisor and/or such Administrator(s), as applicable, for such expenses, it being understood that the administrative services contemplated by this Section 3 may be performed by the Advisor or any of its Affiliates, one or more third party Administrators, or a combination thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Compensation of the Advisor</u>. The Company agrees to pay, and the Advisor agrees to accept, as compensation for the services provided by the Advisor hereunder, a base management fee (the "<u>Base Management Fee</u>") and incentive fee ("<u>Incentive Fee</u>") as herein set forth. The Company shall make any payments due hereunder to the Advisor or to the Advisor's designee as the Advisor may otherwise direct. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Advisor may elect, or the Company may adopt a deferred compensation plan pursuant to which the Advisor may elect, to defer or waive all or a portion of its fees hereunder for a specified period of time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company will pay to the Advisor an annual Base Management Fee, payable quarterly in arrears at a rate of 1.25% per annum of the average of the Company's net assets as of the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The Management Fee is payable quarterly in arrears and will be appropriately prorated for any partial quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company will pay to the Advisor an Incentive Fee and will consist of two components that are independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. A portion of the incentive fee is based on a percentage of the Company's income (an "<u>Income Incentive Fee</u>") and a portion is based on a percentage of the Company's capital gains (the "<u>Capital Gains Incentive Fee</u>"), each as described below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Income Incentive Fee</u>.

<u>Incentive Fee on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income</u>

The portion based on the Company's income is based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns. "<u>Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns</u>" means, as the context requires, either the dollar value of, or percentage rate of return on the value of net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter from, interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that are received from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses accrued for the quarter (including the management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement entered into between the Company and the Administrator, and any interest expense or fees on any credit facilities or outstanding debt and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares, but excluding the incentive fee and any shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns include, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind ("<u>PIK</u>") interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that has not yet been received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The impact of expense support payments and recoupments are also excluded from Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company's net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter, is compared to a "hurdle rate" of return of 1.25% per quarter (5.0% annualized).

------

The Company pays the Advisor an Income Based Incentive Fee quarterly in arrears with respect to the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in each calendar quarter as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No incentive fee based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in any calendar quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.25% per quarter (5.0% annualized);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 100.0% of the dollar amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate until the Advisor has received 12.5% of the total Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for that calendar quarter. The Company refers to this portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns (which exceeds the hurdle rate) as the "catch-up." This "catch-up" is meant to provide the Advisor an Incentive Fee of 12.5% on all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when that amount equals 1.43% in a calendar quarter (5.72% annualized), and which is the rate at which the catch-up is achieved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 12.5% of the dollar amount of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceed a rate of return of 1.43%.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Capital Gains Incentive Fee</u>.

<u>Incentive Fee on Capital Gains</u>

The second part of the incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year in an amount equal to 12.5% of cumulative realized capital gains from inception through the end of such calendar, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fee on capital gains as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Subsequent to any IPO or Exchange Listing, the Company will pay the Advisor (i) a Base Management Fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.25% of the Company's average gross assets, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters and (ii) the Income Incentive Fee and Capital Gains Incentive Fee described above except that all of the 12.5% figures referenced therein will be increased to 15.0%. In addition, the expense support aspect (but not the conditional reimbursement aspect) of the Expense Support Agreement will no longer be of any force or effect subsequent thereto with respect to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Transaction Fees</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the Advisor or its affiliates or their respective officers, trustees, partners, members, shareholders or employees (other than the Company or any SPV) receive any compensation in the form of trustees' fees, transaction fees, monitoring fees, financial advisory fees, investment management fees, origination fees, arrangement fees, commitment fees, broken deal fees and other fees for similar or related services and any other compensation in connection with lending or other financial transactions or investments (including, without limitation, acquisitions, dispositions, recapitalizations and restructurings), the portion of such compensation ratably attributable to investments made (or, in the case of broken deal fees, proposed) either directly by the Company or indirectly through a SPV will be paid to the Company (or such SPV, as applicable).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Any fees received by the Advisor or its affiliates in connection with or arising from providing administrative, collateral management or similar or related services in respect of lending or other financial transactions or the Company's investments will be retained by the Advisor and will not be applied as an offset to the Base Management Fee, it being understood that, in the event that any expenses incurred by the Advisor or its affiliates in connection with the provision of the foregoing services are charged to the Company (or a SPV) as an expense of the Company, the portion of such compensation ratably attributable to such expenses will be either (i) paid to the Company (or a SPV).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Covenants of the Advisor</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Advisor agrees that its activities will at all times be in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal and state laws governing its operations and investments, including, but not limited to, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "<u>Advisers Act</u>").

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Advisor further covenants that it will maintain its registration as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act at all times that the Advisor is required by applicable law or regulation to be registered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Excess Brokerage Commissions</u>. The Advisor is hereby authorized, to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law, to cause the Company to pay any broker-dealer or other member of a national securities exchange (a "<u>Broker-Dealer</u>") an amount of commission for effecting a securities transaction in excess of the amount of commission another Broker-Dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Advisor determines in good faith, taking into account such factors as overall cost of the transaction (including the applicable brokerage commission or dealer spread); the size and type of the transaction; the nature of the market for the financial instrument; execution capability, speed and efficiency; market intelligence regarding the transaction; the extent to which the Broker-Dealer makes a market in the financial instrument involved or has access to such markets; the Broker-Dealer's financial stability; the Broker-Dealer's reputation for diligence, fairness and integrity; quality of service rendered by the Broker-Dealer in other transactions for the Advisor; confidentiality considerations; the quality and usefulness of research services and investment ideas presented by the Broker-Dealer; the Broker-Dealer's willingness to correct errors; the Broker-Dealer's ability to accommodate any special execution or order handling requirements in connection with any particular transaction; and other factors deemed appropriate by the Advisor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Limitations on the Activities of the Advisor</u>. The services of the Advisor to the Company are not exclusive, and the Advisor and each of its affiliates may engage in any other business or render similar or different services to others including, without limitation, the direct or indirect sponsorship or management of other investment based accounts or commingled pools of capital, however structured, having investment objectives similar to those of the Company and nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any member, manager, partner, officer or employee of the Advisor to engage in any other business or to devote his or her time and attention in part to any other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature, or to receive any fees or compensation in connection therewith (including fees for serving as a trustee of, or providing consulting services to, one or more of the Company's portfolio companies, subject to applicable law), provided that the foregoing shall be without prejudice to the obligations of the Advisor and its affiliates pursuant to the Advisor's limited liability company agreement or any related agreement. So long as this Agreement or any extension, renewal or amendment remains in effect, the Advisor shall be the only investment adviser for the Company, subject to the Advisor's right to enter into sub-advisory agreements. The Advisor assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder. It is understood that trustees, officers, employees, limited partners and/or shareholders of the Company are or may become interested in the Advisor and its affiliates, as trustees, officers, employees, partners, shareholders, members, managers or otherwise, and that the Advisor and trustees, officers, employees, partners, shareholders, members and managers of the Advisor and its affiliates are or may become similarly interested in the Company as limited partners, shareholders or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Responsibility of Dual Trustees, Officers and/or Employees</u>. If any person who is a member, manager, partner, officer or employee of the Advisor or any of its affiliates is or becomes a trustee, officer and/or employee of the Company and acts as such in any business of the Company, then such member, manager, partner, officer and/or employee of the Advisor or such affiliate shall be deemed to be acting in such capacity solely for the Company, and not as a member, manager, partner, officer or employee of the Advisor or such affiliate or under the control or direction of the Advisor or the such affiliate, even if paid by the Advisor or such affiliate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; None of the Advisor, its affiliates, and their respective trustees, officers, partners, members, shareholders, "controlling persons" (as defined under the Investment Company Act), employees, agents, consultants and representatives (collectively, the "<u>Covered Persons</u>") will be liable to the Company for (i) any act taken or failed to be taken by any such Covered Person except for any such act or failure to act that constitutes (x) Disabling Conduct (as defined below), (y) a knowing and material breach of this Agreement that has not been cured within thirty (30) days or (z) a violation of the antifraud provisions of any U.S. federal securities law, in each case, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) any act or failure to act or (iii) any mistake, negligence, misconduct or bad faith of any broker or other agent or representative of the Company selected or employed by the Advisor or its affiliates in good faith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10 (except as provided in Section 10(f)), any Covered Person may consult with legal counsel and accountants in respect of Company affairs and shall be fully protected and justified in taking or refraining from any action in good faith, in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel or accountants selected in good faith for purposes of exculpation and indemnification contemplated herein (irrespective of any judicial determination regarding the conduct of such Covered Person).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Covered Persons from and against all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including legal fees ("<u>Indemnifiable Items</u>"), to which they may be or become subject by reason of their activities on behalf of the Company, or otherwise relating to this Agreement, except (i) to the extent that such Indemnifiable Items were incurred as a result of such Covered Person's (x) Disabling Conduct, (y) knowing and material breach of this Agreement that has not been cured within thirty (30) days or (z) violation of the antifraud provisions of any U.S. federal securities law, in each case, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) with respect to any Indemnifiable Items that arise out of any action, suit or proceeding solely among the Advisor and/or its respective affiliates and their respective trustees, officers, partners, members, shareholders and employees and (iii) to the extent specified in Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty (as the same is finally determined by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction) with respect to the receipt of compensation for services under the Investment Company Act. The termination of any proceeding by settlement, judgment, order, conviction or upon a plea of <u>nolo contendere</u> or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Covered Person's conduct constituted Disabling Conduct, a knowing and material breach of this Agreement that has not been cured within thirty (30) days or a violation of the antifraud provisions of any U.S. federal securities law. "<u>Disabling Conduct</u>" shall mean fraud, willful misfeasance or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defense or settlement of any claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder shall, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay the amount advanced to the extent that it shall be determined ultimately that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder; <u>provided</u> that no advances shall be made by the Company in respect of any action, suit or proceeding against a Covered Party initiated by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event any such Covered Person is not finally determined to have engaged in Disabling Conduct, a knowing and material breach of this Agreement that has not been cured within thirty (30) days or a violation of the antifraud provisions of any U.S. federal securities laws, in each case, by a court of competent jurisdiction, the indemnification provision described in Section 10(b) will apply. The right of any Covered Person to the indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Covered Person may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall be extended to such Covered Person's successors, assigns and legal representatives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the event that (i) a Covered Person is appointed to serve as a manager, trustee or officer of the issuer of any portfolio company, or is otherwise authorized to act on behalf of such issuer and (ii) such Covered Person is entitled to seek indemnification from such issuer pursuant to a written agreement with such issuer entered into after the Initial Closing (a "<u>Written Agreement</u>") or pursuant to such issuer's articles of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or other constitutive documents, the Advisor will endeavor to ensure that any such Written Agreement shall provide that the indemnification obligations of such issuer are primary and the indemnification obligations of the Company are secondary. Prior to an IPO, any Covered Person meeting the criteria described in clauses (i) and (ii) above (a "<u>Representative</u>") entitled to indemnification from the Company in connection with Indemnifiable Items arising from such Representative's activities in such capacity shall use reasonable efforts to first seek recovery under any other indemnity or any insurance policies by which such Representative is indemnified or covered (other than pursuant to terms of the operating agreements of the Advisor and its affiliates), as the case may be, but only to the extent that the indemnitor with respect to such indemnity, or insurer with respect to such insurance policy, provides such indemnity or coverage on a timely basis. Prior to making an indemnification payment or providing advancement of expenses pursuant to this Section 10 to a Representative that is also entitled to indemnification from an issuer of a portfolio company or insurance policy, the Advisor shall require such Representative to agree that it shall (x) cause the Company to be subrogated to its rights with respect to such payment from such issuer or insurance policy, as applicable, (y) assign to the Company all of its rights to advancement, indemnification or contribution from or with respect to such issuer or insurance policy and (z) cooperate with the Company in its efforts to recover such payments through indemnification or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In any action, suit or proceeding against the Company or the Covered Persons relating to or arising out of, or alleged to relate to or arise out of, any Indemnifiable Items, the Covered Persons shall have the right to jointly employ, at the expense of the Company, counsel of the Covered Persons' choice, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in such action, suit or proceeding; <u>provided</u> that if retention of joint counsel by the Covered Persons would create a conflict of interest, each group of Covered Persons which would not cause such a conflict shall have the right to employ, at the expense of the Company, separate counsel of the Covered Persons' choice, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in such action, suit or proceeding.

In addition, nothing contained herein shall protect or be deemed to protect the Covered Persons against or entitle or be deemed to entitle the Covered Persons to indemnification in respect of any liability to the Company or its security holders to which the Covered Persons would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of the Advisor's duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of the Advisor's duties and obligations under this Agreement (as the same shall be determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act and any interpretations or guidance by the SEC or its staff thereunder). The provisions set forth in this Section 10 shall not be construed to limit or exclude any other right to which a Covered Person may be lawfully entitled and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Further, notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Agreement as aforesaid, the Advisor shall be entitled to any amounts owed under Sections 3 and 4 through the date of termination or expiration and Section 10 shall continue in force and effect and apply to the Advisor and each Covered Person as and to the extent applicable.

**<u>ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT</u>**

This Agreement ("<u>Agreement</u>") is made as of December 14, 2022 by and between Kennedy Lewis Capital Company, a Delaware statutory trust (the "<u>Company</u>"), and Kennedy Lewis Management LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "<u>Administrator</u>").

**W I T N E S S E T H:**

WHEREAS, the Company is a newly organized closed-end management investment company that intends to elect to be regulated as a business development company ("<u>BDC</u>") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "<u>1940 Act</u>");

WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain the Administrator to provide administrative services to the Company in the manner and on the terms hereinafter set forth; and

WHEREAS, the Administrator is willing to provide administrative services to the Company on the terms and conditions hereafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants hereinafter contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Administrator hereby agree as follows:

**1.**  **<u>Duties of the Administrator</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Engagement of Administrator.</u> The Company hereby retains the Administrator to act as administrator of the Company, and to furnish or arrange for others to furnish the administrative services, personnel and facilities described below, subject to review by and the overall control of the Board of Trustees of the Company (the "<u>Board</u>"), for the period and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Administrator hereby accepts such retention and agrees during such period to render, or arrange for the rendering of, such services and to assume the obligations herein set forth subject to the reimbursement of costs and expenses provided for below. The Administrator, and any others with whom the Administrator subcontracts to provide the services set forth herein, shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be independent contractors of the Company and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized herein or in another contract with the Company, have no authority to act for or represent the Company in any way or otherwise be deemed agents of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Services.</u> The Administrator shall perform (or oversee, or arrange for, the performance of) the administrative services necessary for the operation of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator shall provide the Company with office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping, compliance, and recordkeeping services at such facilities and such other services as the Administrator, subject to review by the Board, shall from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Administrator shall also, on behalf of the Company, conduct relations with custodians, depositories, transfer agents, dividend disbursing agents, other shareholder servicing agents, accountants, attorneys, underwriters, brokers and dealers, corporate fiduciaries, insurers, banks, and other persons in any other capacity deemed by the Administrator to be necessary or desirable. The Administrator shall make reports to the Board of its performance of its obligations hereunder and shall furnish advice and recommendations with respect to such other aspects of the business and affairs of the Company as it shall determine to be desirable; *provided*, *however*, nothing herein shall be construed to require the Administrator to, and the Administrator shall not, provide any advice or recommendation relating to the securities and other assets that the Company should purchase, retain or sell or provide any other investment advisory services to the Company pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrator shall be responsible for the financial and other records that the Company is required to maintain, and under the 1940 Act, shall prepare, print and disseminate reports to shareholders, and reports and other materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>SEC</u>"). In addition, the Administrator shall assist the Company in determining and publishing the Company's net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of the Company's tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports and other materials to its shareholders, and generally overseeing the payment of the Company's expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For the avoidance of any doubt, the parties agree that the Administrator is authorized without the consent of any other person, to enter into such sub-administration agreements as the Administrator may determine to be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the services set forth in paragraph 1(b) of this Agreement.

**2.**  **<u>Records</u>** 

The Administrator agrees to maintain and keep all books, accounts and other records of the Company that relate to activities performed by the Administrator hereunder and shall maintain and keep such books, accounts and records in accordance with the 1940 Act. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Administrator agrees that all records which it maintains for the Company shall at all times remain the property of the Company, shall be readily accessible during normal business hours, and shall be promptly surrendered upon the termination of this Agreement or otherwise on written request. The Administrator further agrees that all records which it maintains for the Company pursuant to Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act shall be preserved for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act unless any such records are earlier surrendered as provided above. Records shall be surrendered in usable machine-readable form. The Administrator shall have the right to retain copies of such records subject to observance of its confidentiality obligations under this Agreement.

**3.**  **<u>Confidentiality</u>** 

The parties hereto agree that each shall treat confidentially all information provided by each party to the other regarding its business and operations. All confidential information provided by a party hereto, including nonpublic personal information (regulated pursuant to Regulation S-P), shall be used by any other party hereto solely for the purpose of rendering services pursuant to this Agreement and, except as may be required in carrying out this Agreement, shall not be disclosed to any third party, without the prior consent of such providing party. The foregoing shall not be applicable to any information that is publicly available when provided or thereafter becomes publicly available other than through a breach of this Agreement, or that is required to be disclosed by any regulatory authority, any authority or legal counsel of the parties hereto, by judicial or administrative process, or otherwise by applicable law or regulation.

------

**5.**  **<u>Limitation of Liability of the Administrator; Indemnification</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Administrator (and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members, and any other person or entity affiliated with the Administrator or the Advisor to the extent that it is providing services for or otherwise acting on behalf of the Administrator, Advisor or the Company) shall not be liable to the Company for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrator or such other person in connection with the performance of any of the Administrator's duties or obligations under this Agreement or otherwise as administrator for the Company, and the Company shall indemnify, defend and protect the Administrator (and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members, and any other person or entity affiliated with the Administrator or the Advisor, each of whom shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof) (each, individually, an "<u>Indemnified Party</u>*"* and collectively, the "<u>Indemnified Parties</u>") and hold each of them harmless from and against all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) incurred by any of them in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (including an action or suit by or in the right of the Company or its security holders) arising out of or otherwise based upon the performance in good faith of any of the Administrator's duties or obligations under this Agreement or otherwise as administrator for the Company. The Company's indemnification of Indemnified Parties shall, to the extent not in conflict with such insurance policy, be secondary to any and all payment to which any Indemnified Party is entitled from any relevant insurance policy issued to or for the benefit of the Company and its affiliates or any Indemnified Party. The Company's indemnification of the Indemnified Parties shall also be secondary to any payment pursuant to any other indemnification obligation of any other relevant entity or person, including under any insurance policy issued to or for the benefit of such other entity or person, in all cases, to the extent not in conflict with the applicable other indemnification or insurance contract. In the event of payment by the Company under this Agreement and pursuant to its indemnification obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnified Parties, including the rights of any Indemnified Party under any insurance policies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For any claims indemnified by the Company under <u>Section 5(a)</u> above, to the fullest extent permitted by, and subject to the applicable conditions of, law, the Company shall promptly pay expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by any Indemnified Party in appearing at, participating in or defending any action, suit, claim, demand or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, claim, demand or proceeding, including appeals, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from the Indemnified Party requesting such advance or advances from time to time. Each Indemnified Party hereby undertakes to repay any amounts advanced on its behalf (without interest) to the extent that it is ultimately determined that the Indemnified Party is not entitled under this Agreement to be indemnified by the Company. Such undertaking shall be unsecured and accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Indemnified Parties to make repayment and without regard to the Indemnified Parties' ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. No other form of undertaking shall be required of the Indemnified Parties other than the execution of this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notwithstanding anything in provisions of this <u>Section 5</u> to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall protect or be deemed to protect any of the Indemnified Parties against, or entitle or be deemed to entitle any of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification in respect of, any losses to the Company or its security holders to which the Indemnified Parties would otherwise be subject primarily attributable to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of the Administrator's duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of the Administrator's duties and obligations under this Agreement (to the extent applicable, as the same shall be determined in accordance with the 1940 Act and any interpretations or guidance by the SEC or its staff thereunder).

In addition, notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this <u>Section 5</u> shall not be construed so as to provide for the indemnification of any Indemnified Party for any liability (including liability under federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on persons that act in good faith), to the extent (but only to the extent) that such indemnification would be in violation of applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this <u>Section 5</u> to the fullest extent permitted by law.

**6.**  **<u>Activities of the Administrator</u>** 

The services of the Administrator to the Company are not to be deemed to be exclusive, and the Administrator and each affiliate is free to render services to others. It is understood that trustees, directors, officers, employees and shareholders of the Company are or may become interested in the Administrator and its affiliates, as trustees, directors, officers, members, managers, employees, partners, shareholders or otherwise, and that the Administrator and trustees, directors, officers, members, managers, employees, partners and shareholders of the Administrator and its affiliates are or may become similarly interested in the Company as shareholders or otherwise.

**7.**  **<u>Duration and Termination of this Agreement</u>**

## Exhibit 10.4

**Exhibit 10.4**

**DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN**

**OF**

**KENNEDY LEWIS CAPITAL COMPANY**

Kennedy Lewis Capital Company, a Delaware statutory trust (the "<u>Company</u>"), has adopted the following plan (the "<u>Plan</u>"), to be administered by the Company or such other administrator as the Company may appoint (the "<u>Plan Administrator</u>"), with respect to dividends and other distributions declared by the Board of Trustees of the Company (the "<u>Board</u>") on shares of its common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (the "<u>Common Shares</u>"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Unless a shareholder specifically elects to receive cash or a combination of cash and Common Shares as set forth below, all net investment income dividends and all capital gains distributions hereafter declared by the Board shall be payable in shares of the Common Shares of the Company, and no action shall be required on such shareholder's part to receive a distribution in Common Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Such net investment income dividends and capital gains distributions shall be payable on such date or dates as may be fixed from time to time by the Board to shareholders of record at the close of business on the record date(s) established by the Board for the net investment income dividend and/or capital gains distribution involved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company shall use only newly-issued shares of its Common Shares to implement the Plan. The number of shares to be issued to a shareholder that has not elected to have its distributions in cash in accordance with paragraph 4 (each, a "<u>Participant</u>") shall be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such Participant by the net asset value per share as of the last day of the Company's fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date such distribution was declared (the "<u>Reference NAV</u>"); *provided that* in the event a distribution is declared on the last day of a fiscal quarter, the Reference NAV shall be deemed to be the net asset value per share as of such day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A shareholder may elect from time to time to receive his, her or its net investment income dividends and capital gains distributions in cash or a combination of cash and Common Shares. To exercise this option, such shareholder shall notify the Plan Administrator, in writing or by other means made available by the Plan Administrator so that such notice is received by the Plan Administrator no later than twenty business days prior to the payment date fixed by the Board for the net investment income dividend and/or capital gains distribution. If the request to terminate participation in the Plan is received less than twenty business days prior to the payment date, then that dividend will be reinvested, but all subsequent dividends on all balances will be paid out in cash or a combination of cash and Common Shares. Such election shall remain in effect (without the requirement to confirm the election) until the shareholder shall notify the Company in writing of such shareholder's withdrawal of the election, which notice shall be delivered to the Company no later than twenty business days prior to the payment date fixed by the Board for the next net investment income dividend and/or capital gains distribution by the Company.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Plan Administrator will set up an account for shares acquired pursuant to the Plan for each Participant. The Plan Administrator will hold each Participant's shares, together with the shares of other Participants, in non-certificated form in the Plan Administrator's name or that of its nominee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Plan Administrator will confirm to each Participant each acquisition made pursuant to the Plan as soon as practicable but not later than thirty business days after the date thereof. Although each Participant may from time to time have an undivided fractional interest (computed to three decimal places) in a share of Common Shares of the Company, no certificates for a fractional share will be issued. However, dividends and distributions on fractional shares will be credited to each Participant's account. In the event of termination of a Participant's account under the Plan, the Plan Administrator will adjust for any such undivided fractional interest in cash at the market value of the Company's shares at the time of termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the Plan Administrator is not the Company, the Plan Administrator will forward to each Participant any Company-related proxy solicitation materials and each Company report or other communication to shareholders, and will vote any shares held by it under the Plan in accordance with the instructions set forth on proxies returned by Participants to the Company or the Plan Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the event that the Company makes available to its shareholders rights to purchase additional shares or other securities, the shares held by the Plan Administrator for each Participant under the Plan will be added to any other shares held by the Participant in certificated form in calculating the number of rights to be issued to the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the Plan Administrator is not the Company, the Plan Administrator's service fee, if any, and expenses for administering the Plan will be paid for by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Each Participant may terminate his, her or its participation in the Plan by so notifying the Plan Administrator by such means as the Plan Administrator may specify in writing to the Participants. Such termination will be effective immediately if the Participant's notice is received by the Plan Administrator more than twenty business days prior to any dividend or distribution payment date. If notice to terminate the Participant's account is received less than twenty business days prior to a payment date then that dividend or distribution will be reinvested, but all subsequent dividends and distributions will be paid out in cash or a combination of cash and Common Shares on all balances. The Plan may be terminated by the Company upon notice in writing mailed to each Participant at least thirty days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend or distribution by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For as long as the Company is the Plan Administrator, a Participant may notify the Plan Administrator at 225 Liberty Street, Suite 4210, New York, NY 10281, Attention: Investor Relations, or such other administrator as the Company may appoint.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Plan Administrator will at all times act in good faith and use its best efforts within reasonable limits to ensure its full and timely performance of all services to be performed by it under this Plan and to comply with applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; These terms and conditions shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof, to the extent such principles would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

Effective as of [ ], 2023

3.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The management and control of the Fund are vested exclusively in the Fund's governing body (e.g., the board of directors for a company) and its officers, subject to the terms and provisions of the Fund's Governing Documents.

3.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Fund is solely and exclusively responsible for ensuring that it complies with Law and its respective Governing Documents.

The Fund will notify DST in writing of any material changes to the Fund Governing Documents that may materially impact the Services prior to such changes taking effect. DST is not responsible for monitoring compliance by the Fund with (i) Law, or (ii) its respective Governing Documents.

3.3. [RESERVED]

3.4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Fund shall deliver, and procure that its agents, counsel, advisors, auditors, and any other Persons as soon as practicable deliver to DST all Fund Data. The Fund shall arrange with each such Person to deliver such information and materials on a timely basis, and DST will not be required to enter any agreements with that Person in order for DST to provide the Services.

3.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as they act in good faith, DST Associates shall be entitled to rely on the authenticity, completeness and accuracy of any and all information and communications of whatever nature received by DST Associates from the Fund, its employees, Affiliates or agents in connection with the performance of the Services and DST's duties and obligations hereunder, without further enquiry or liability.

**4.**  **<u>Term</u>** 

4.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The initial term of this Agreement will be from the Effective Date through September 30, 2025 ("<u>Initial Term</u>"). Thereafter, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive terms of 1 year each unless either DST or the Fund provides the other with a written notice of termination at least 180 calendar days prior to the desired termination date (such periods, in the aggregate, the "<u>Term</u>").

**5.**  **<u>Termination</u>** 

5.1. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; DST or the Fund also may, by written notice to the other, terminate this Agreement if any of the following events occur:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The other Party breaches any material term, condition or provision of this Agreement, which breach, if capable of being cured, is not cured within 60 calendar days after the non-breaching Party gives the other Party written notice of such breach.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The other Party (i) terminates or suspends its business, (ii) becomes insolvent, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes subject to direct control of a trustee, receiver or analogous authority, (iii) becomes subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency or analogous proceeding, (iv) where the other Party is the Fund if it becomes subject to a material Action arising out of willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud, criminal activity, or a violation of applicable Law that DST reasonably determines could cause DST reputational harm, or (v) where the other Party is the Fund, material changes in the Fund's Governing Documents or the assumptions set forth in the Fee Letter are determined by DST, in its reasonable discretion, to materially affect the Services or to be materially adverse to DST.

4 of 23

------

If any such event occurs, the termination will become effective immediately or on the date stated in the written notice of termination, which date shall not be greater than 90 calendar days after the event.

5.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Upon receipt of a termination notice from the Fund, subject to the receipt by DST of all then-due fees, charges and expenses, DST shall continue to provide the Services up to the effective date of the termination notice; thereafter, DST shall have no obligation to perform any services of any type unless and to the extent set forth in an amendment to this Agreement executed by DST. In the event of the termination of this Agreement, DST shall provide reasonable exit assistance to the Fund in converting the Fund's records from DST's systems to whatever services or systems are designated by the Fund (the "Deconversion"); provided that all fees, charges and expenses have been paid, including any fees required under <u>Section 5.3</u> for the balance of the unexpired portion of the Term. The Deconversion is subject to the recompense of DST for such assistance at its standard rates and fees in effect at the time and to a reasonable time frame for performance as agreed to by the parties. As used herein "reasonable exit assistance" shall not include requiring DST (i) to assist any new service or system provider to modify, to alter, to enhance, or to improve such provider's system, or to provide any new functionality to such provider's system, (ii) to disclose any protected information of DST, including the proprietary information of DST or its affiliates, or (iii) to develop Deconversion software, to modify any of DST's software, or to otherwise alter the format of the data as maintained on any provider's systems.

5.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Except for termination under Section 5.1 above, if the Fund elects to terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Initial Term the Fund agrees to pay an amount equal to the average monthly fee paid by the Fund to DST under the Agreement multiplied by the number of months remaining in the Initial Term.

DST's sole obligation is to provide the Fund access to the Blue Sky module of TA2000 with respect to purchases of shares of the Fund on TA2000. It is the Fund's responsibility to validate that the Blue Sky module settings are accurate and complete and to validate the output produced thereby and other applicable reports provided by DST, to ensure accuracy. DST is not responsible in any way for claims that the sale of shares of the Fund violated any such requirement (unless such violation results from a failure of the DST Blue Sky module to notify the Fund that such sales do not comply with the parameters set by the Fund for sales to residents of a given state);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xvi) providing to the Fund escheatment reports as requested by an Authorized Person with respect to the status of accounts and outstanding checks on TA2000;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xvii) as mutually agreed upon by the parties as to the service scope and fees, answer telephone inquiries during mutually agreed upon times, each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. DST shall answer and respond to inquiries from existing shareholders, prospective shareholders of the Fund and broker-dealers on behalf of such shareholders in accordance with the telephone scripts provided by the Fund to DST, such inquiries may include requests for information on account set-up and maintenance, general questions regarding the operation of the Fund, general account information including dates of purchases, redemptions, exchanges and account balances, requests for account access instructions and literature requests;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xviii) (where applicable) supporting Fund tender offers, including but not limited to: assistance with shareholder communication plan; coordination of tender offer materials; establishment of informational website; receipt, review and reconciliation of letters of transmittal; daily tracking, reconciliation and reporting of shares tendered; and issuing tax forms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xix) in order to assist the Fund with the Fund's anti-money laundering responsibilities under applicable anti-money laundering laws, DST offers certain risk-based shareholder activity monitoring tools and procedures that are reasonably designed to: (i) promote the detection and reporting of potential money laundering activities; and (ii) assist in the verification of persons opening accounts with the Fund. If the Fund elects to have DST implement the anti-money laundering procedures and delegate the day-to-day operation of such anti-money laundering procedures to DST, the parties will agree to upon the applicable fees and the service scope and execute the attached appendix ("Appendix 1" entitled "AML Delegation") which may be changed from time to time subject to mutual written agreement between the parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xxii) upon request of the Fund and mutual agreement between the parties as to the scope and any applicable fees, DST may provide additional services to the Fund under the terms of this Schedule and the Agreement. Such services and fees shall be set forth in a writing and may be added by an amendment to, or as a statement of work under, this Schedule or the Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At the request of an Authorized Person, DST shall use reasonable efforts to provide the services set forth in Section 1.A of this Schedule A in connection with transactions (i) the processing of which transactions require DST to use methods and procedures other than those usually employed by DST to perform shareholder servicing agent services, (ii) involving the provision of information to DST after the commencement of the nightly processing cycle of the TA2000 System or (iii) which require more manual intervention by DST, either in the entry of data or in the modification or amendment of reports generated by the TA2000 System than is usually required by normal transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; DST shall use reasonable efforts to provide the same services with respect to any new, additional functions or features or any changes or improvements to existing functions or features as provided for in the Fund's instructions, prospectus or application as amended from time to time, for the Fund provided DST is advised in advance by the Fund of any changes therein and the TA2000 System and the mode of operations utilized by DST as then constituted supports such additional functions and features. If any new, additional function or feature or change or improvement to existing functions or features or new service or mode of operation measurably increases DST's cost of performing the services required hereunder at the current level of service, DST shall advise the Fund of the amount of such increase and if the Fund elects to utilize such function, feature or service, DST shall be entitled to increase its fees by the amount of the increase in costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Fund acknowledges that DST is currently using, and will continue to use, domestic or foreign DST affiliates to assist with software development and support projects for DST and/or for the Fund. As part of such support, the Fund acknowledges that such affiliates may access the Fund Confidential Information including, but not limited to, personally identifiable shareholder information (shareholder name, address, social security number, account number, etc.).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Fund shall add all new funds to the TA2000 System upon at least 60 days' prior written notice to DST provided that the requirements of the new funds are generally consistent with services then being provided by DST under the Agreement. If less than 60 days' prior notice is provided by the Fund, additional 'rush' fees may be applied by DST. Rates or charges for additional funds shall be as set forth in the Fee Letter for the remainder of the contract term except as such funds use functions, features or characteristics for which DST has imposed an additional charge as part of its standard pricing schedule. In the latter event, rates and charges shall be in accordance with DST's then-standard pricing schedule.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The parties agree that to the extent that DST provides any services under the Agreement that relate to compliance by the Fund with the Code (or any other applicable tax law), it is the parties' mutual intent that DST will provide only printing, reproducing, and other mechanical assistance to the Fund and that DST will not make any judgments or exercise any discretion of any kind. The Fund agrees that it will provide express and comprehensive instructions to DST in connection with all of the services that are to be provided by DST under the Agreement that relate to compliance by the Fund with the Code (or any other applicable tax law), including providing responses to requests for direction that may be made from time to time by DST of the Fund in this regard.

The Fund acknowledges and agrees that as part of such services, DST will act as service provider to the custodian for such IRAs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;H.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If applicable, DST will make original issues of shares, or if shares are certificated, stock certificates upon written request of an officer of the Fund and upon being furnished with a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing such original issue, evidence regarding the value of the shares, and necessary funds for the payment of any original issue tax.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Upon receipt of a Fund's written request, DST shall provide transmissions of shareholder activity to the print vendor selected by the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;J.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If applicable, the Fund will furnish DST with a sufficient supply of blank stock certificates and from time to time will renew such supply upon the request of DST. Such certificates will be signed manually or by facsimile signatures of the officers of the Fund authorized by law and by bylaws to sign stock certificates, and if required, will bear the corporate seal or facsimile thereof. In the event that certificates for shares of the Fund shall be represented to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, DST, upon being furnished with an indemnity bond in such form and amount and with such surety as shall be reasonably satisfactory to it, is authorized to countersign a new certificate or certificates for the number of shares of the Fund represented by the lost or stolen certificate. In the event that certificates of the Fund shall be represented to have been lost, stolen, missing, counterfeited or recovered, DST shall file Form X-17F-1A as required by applicable federal securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;K.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Shares of stock will be transferred in accordance with the instructions of the shareholders and, upon receipt of the Fund's instructions that shares of stock be redeemed and funds remitted therefor, such redemptions will be accomplished and payments dispatched provided the shareholder instructions are deemed by DST to be duly authorized. DST reserves the right to refuse to transfer, exchange, sell or redeem shares as applicable, until it is satisfied that the request is authorized, or instructed by the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;L.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to "as of" adjustments, DST will not assume one hundred percent (100%) responsibility for losses resulting from "as ofs" due to clerical errors or misinterpretations of securityholder instructions, but DST will, in good faith, accept liability for an "as of" on a case-by-case basis and may accept financial responsibility for a particular situation resulting in a financial loss to the Fund where such loss is "material", as hereinafter defined, and, under the particular facts at issue, the parties mutually agree, or it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, that the Loss is solely the result of DST's failure to exercise its standard of care under Section 6 above. A loss is "material" for purposes of this Section when it results in a pricing error on a given day which is (i) greater than a negligible amount per securityholder, (ii) equals or exceeds one ($.01) full cent per share times the number of shares outstanding or (iii) equals or exceeds the product of one-half of one percent (1%) times Fund's Net Asset Value per share times the number of shares outstanding (or, in case of (ii) or (iii), such other amounts as may be adopted by applicable accounting or regulatory authorities from time to time). When DST concludes that it should contribute to the settlement of a loss, DST's responsibility will commence with that portion of the loss over $0.01 per share calculated on the basis of the total value of all shares owned by the affected portfolio (i.e., on the basis of the value of the shares of the total portfolio, including all classes of that portfolio, not just those of the affected class).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;M.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Changes and Modifications</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; DST shall have the right, at any time, to modify any systems, programs, procedures or facilities used in performing its obligations hereunder; provided that the Fund will be notified as promptly as possible prior to implementation of such modifications and that no such modification or deletion shall materially adversely change or affect the operations and procedures of the Fund in using the TA2000 System hereunder, the Services or the quality thereof, or the reports to be generated by such system and facilities hereunder, unless the Fund is given thirty (30) days' prior notice to allow the Fund to change its procedures and DST provides the Fund with revised operating procedures and controls.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Fund shall not enter into one or more omnibus, third-party sub-agency or sub accounting agreements with (i) unaffiliated third-party broker/dealers or other financial intermediaries who have a distribution agreement with the affected Funds or (ii) third party administrators of group retirement or annuity plans, unless the Fund either (1) provides DST with a minimum of 12 months' notice before the accounts are deconverted from DST, or (2), if 12 months' notice is not possible, Fund shall compensate DST by paying a one-time termination fee equal to $0.10 per deconverted account per month for every month short of the 12 months' notice in connection with each such deconversion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, DST's obligations shall be solely as are set forth in this Schedule and any of other obligations of the Fund under applicable law that DST has not agreed to perform on the Fund's behalf under this Schedule or the Agreement shall remain the Fund's sole obligation.

DST, acting as agent for the Fund, is also hereby authorized to execute on behalf and in the name of the Fund, on the usual terms and conditions prevalent in the industry, including limits or caps (based on fees paid over some period of time or a flat amount, as required by the affected Bank) on the maximum liability of such Banks, agreements with banks for ACH, wire transfer, draft processing services, as well as any other services which are necessary or appropriate for DST to utilize to accomplish the purposes of this Schedule. In each of the foregoing situations the Fund shall be liable on such agreements with the Bank as if it itself had executed the agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; DST is authorized and directed to stop payment of checks theretofore issued hereunder, but not presented for payment, when the payees thereof allege either that they have not received the checks or that such checks have been mislaid, lost, stolen, destroyed or through no fault of theirs, are otherwise beyond their control, and cannot be produced by them for presentation and collection, and, to issue and deliver duplicate checks in replacement thereof.

Purges completed after this date will subject the Fund to the Aged History Retention fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Purge Criteria: In order to avoid the Aged History Retention fees, history data for regular or ordinary accounts (that is, non-tax advantaged accounts) must be purged if the confirmation date of the history transaction is prior to January 1 of the current year and history data for tax advantaged accounts (retirement and educational savings accounts) must be purged if the confirmation date of the history transaction is prior to January 1 of the prior year.

 instructs and directs DST to implement the AML Procedures as set forth in Section 4 below on the Fund's behalf and delegates to DST the day-to-day operation of the AML Procedures. The AML Procedures set forth in Section 4 may be amended, from
 time to time, by mutual agreement of the Fund and DST upon the execution by such parties of a revised Appendix 1 bearing a later date than the date hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3 DST agrees to perform such AML Procedures, with respect to the ownership of Shares in the Fund for
 which DST maintains the applicable shareholder information, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 understands and acknowledges that the Fund remains responsible for assuring compliance with the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 ()"**USA PATRIOT Act")** and that the records DST maintains for the Fund relating to the AML Program may be subject, from time to time, to examination and/or inspection by federal regulators in order that the regulators may evaluate such compliance. DST hereby consents
 to such examination and/or inspection and agrees to cooperate with such federal examiners in connection with their review. For purposes of such examination and/or inspection, DST will use its best efforts to make available, during normal
 business hours and on reasonable notice all required records and information for review by such examiners.

3. <u>Limitation on Delegation.</u> The Fund acknowledges and agrees that in accepting the delegation
 hereunder, DST is agreeing to perform only the AML Procedures, as may be amended from time to time, and is not undertaking and shall not be responsible for any other aspect of the AML Program or for the overall compliance by the Fund with the
 USA PATRIOT Act or for any other matters that have not been delegated hereunder. Additionally, the parties acknowledge and agree that DST shall only be responsible for performing the AML Procedures with respect to the ownership of, and

---

Defined terms and the general rules of interpretation agreed by the Parties are set forth in Schedule 1.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **2** | **Appointment of the Custodian** |

---

The Client hereby appoints the Custodian to provide the services set out in Sections 3 through 15 below (the "Services") subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **3** | **Safekeeping Securities** |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **3.1** | **Holding Securities.** The Custodian will hold Securities delivered or credited to its account under this Agreement directly or through accounts at Subcustodians or CSDs. In turn, Subcustodians will hold Securities directly or through accounts at CSDs. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **3.2** | **Client Entitlements and Segregation.** The Custodian will take the following steps to reflect the Client's ownership of Securities and to separately identify the Securities of the Client from the proprietary assets of the Custodian, Subcustodians, and CSDs, in accordance with Local Market Practice: |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **3.2.1** | **Accounts at the Custodian.** Open and maintain on the records of the Custodian one or more securities accounts in the name of the Client or such other name as the Client may reasonably request (each, a "Securities Account") and credit Securities to them; |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **3.2.2** | **Accounts at the Subcustodians or CSDs.** Open and maintain securities accounts at the Subcustodians or CSDs in which the Custodian is a direct participant, cause Subcustodians to open and maintain securities accounts at CSDs in which the Subcustodian is a participant, and cause Securities to be credited to the relevant accounts. Such accounts: (i) may be commingled (or omnibus) accounts for Securities of multiple customers of the Custodian (or Subcustodian, in the case of accounts opened by the Subcustodian at a CSD) or, in limited markets, segregated (or separate) accounts for Securities of the Client; and (ii) must not include any proprietary securities of the Custodian, the Subcustodian or the CSD; |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **3.2.4** | **Registration Names.** Register certificated Securities (other than bearer securities) in the name of the Client or, upon agreement between the Custodian and the Client, in the name of the Custodian, a Subcustodian, a CSD or a nominee of any of them, or otherwise in accordance with Local Market Practice and the laws and regulations applicable to the Custodian; and |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **3.3** | **Securities Interchangeable.** Securities of the Client (whether held in separate or commingled accounts) are fungible with all other securities of the same issue held in such accounts by the Custodian and its Subcustodians. This means that the Client's redelivery rights in respect of the Securities are not in respect of the Securities actually deposited with the Custodian or a Subcustodian from time to time, but rather in respect of Securities of the same number, class, denomination and issue as those Securities. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **3.4** | **Acceptance of Securities.** Except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Client, the Custodian will only accept custody of Securities and other assets that it is operationally equipped and licensed to hold in the relevant market where it provides custodial services either directly or through an existing Subcustodian and may decline to accept custody of certain securities or asset types that it determines present an unacceptable risk profile or that it or its Subcustodians are not operationally equipped or permitted to hold under any law or regulation. |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **4.2** | **Location of Cash Deposits.** Cash received for the Client will be deposited with the Custodian, or with a Subcustodian, depending on the currency and/or the market. The Custodian will designate each currency in a particular market as On Book Cash or Off Book Cash. "On Book Cash" means the currency is maintained in a deposit account with, and recorded as a liability on the balance sheet of, the Custodian (through any of its branches) and "Off Book Cash" means the currency is maintained in a deposit account with, and recorded as a liability on the balance sheet of, a Subcustodian (through any of its branches). The Custodian may change the designation of a currency as On Book or Off Book from time to time. Clients will find the designation of currencies as On Book Cash and Off Book Cash, and any changes to such designations, in the Client Publications. |

---

---

| | |

|:---|:---|
| **4.4** | **Banking Relationship.** In accepting deposits under this Agreement, the Custodian (for On Book Cash) or the relevant Subcustodian (for Off Book Cash) acts as banker and does not hold the money deposited on trust or segregated from its proprietary assets. Accordingly, the Client is an unsecured creditor of the Custodian (for On Book Cash) or the relevant Subcustodian (for Off Book Cash), subject to such rights as may arise in an Insolvency Event as determined under the laws of the jurisdiction of the Custodian or relevant Subcustodian. With respect to Off Book Cash, the Custodian is only responsible for returning the actual amount that the Custodian receives from the Subcustodian. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **4.5** | **Interest and Charges.** Cash Accounts may be interest bearing or non-interest bearing and may be subject to charges or fees on the deposit balance or on a per account basis. The Custodian or the relevant Subcustodian will determine on a periodic basis: |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **4.5.1** | the interest rates, if any, (which may be positive, zero or negative) or equivalent charges or fees paid or charged to the Client from time to time with respect to a Cash Account; and |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **4.5.2** | the overdraft rates or equivalent charges or fees and the applicable overdraft thresholds (if any) that will trigger interest charges from time to time for overdrafts, in each case, acting in their sole discretion, taking into account market conditions and other relevant commercial considerations. Interest and overdraft rates or other account charges or fees will vary by currency. Details on current rates and deposit account charges are available upon request. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **4.6** | **Overdrafts.** The Client must maintain sufficient funds in the Cash Accounts to settle all transactions in the applicable currencies in a timely manner. The Custodian or its Subcustodians may, but are not required to, extend credit under this Agreement. The Custodian reserves the right to decline to process any Proper Instruction or settle any transaction that would result in an overdraft of the Cash Account. If an overdraft arises in the Cash Account, the Client agrees to repay the principal amount of the overdraft upon demand by the Custodian or within five Business Days, whichever is earlier, plus any applicable overdraft fees and interest on the principal overdraft. |

Except as otherwise provided below regarding Contractual Settlement, the Custodian will credit or debit the appropriate Cash Account on an actual settlement or payment basis. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **5.2** | **Contractual Settlement.** In order to facilitate transaction settlement, the Custodian may provisionally credit settlement, maturity or redemption proceeds, or income, dividends and other distributions, on a contractual settlement or predetermined income basis ("Contractual Settlement"), for markets, securities and eligible clients as determined and notified by the Custodian in the Client Publications. The Custodian can terminate or suspend Contractual Settlement for markets, securities or particular clients at any time. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **5.3** | **Use of Funds.** Where Contractual Settlement applies, the Custodian will credit or debit the appropriate Cash Account on the contractual settlement date or payable date for the relevant transaction. This means that (i) the Client will have use of the funds from the date that a sale was contracted to settle or the payable date, which may be earlier than the date payment actually occurs and (ii) the Custodian will have use of the funds debited from the Cash Account from the date that a purchase was contracted to settle until the date that settlement actually occurs. |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **5.4** | **Reversal.** The Custodian may reverse any Contractual Settlement credit at any time before actual receipt of the cash payment associated with the credit if the Custodian determines, in its reasonable judgement, that such payment will not be received within 30 days for that transaction or if the Custodian suspends or terminates the provision of Contractual Settlement for those Securities in that market. The Custodian will generally notify the Client two Business Days before any such reversal. |

The Custodian will transmit or make available such Corporate Action data it receives from primary sources (issuers, CSDs and Subcustodians) without further review although it will generally note if such information is single sourced. The Custodian generally will not transmit or make available such Corporate Action data it receives from secondary sources (vendors) unless the accuracy of that information can be verified against at least one additional source. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **6.2** | **Exercise.** The Custodian will process the Client's elections with respect to any voluntary Corporate Action at the direction of the Client provided it has actual possession of the relevant Securities and it has received Proper Instructions by the deadline specified in the Custodian's Corporate Action notification ("Corporate Actions Deadline Date"). The Custodian will use reasonable efforts to effect Proper Instructions received after that deadline but will have no responsibility for any failure to exercise such instructions accurately or timely. In the absence of receiving Proper Instructions by the Corporate Actions Deadline Date, the Custodian may take the default action specified in the corporate action notification.

ADDENDUM to that certain Custody Agreement dated as of [ ], 2022, between KENNEDY LEWIS CAPITAL COMPANY ("you" or the "Customer") and STATE STREET BANK AND TRUST COMPANY, including its subsidiaries and affiliates ("State Street").

State Street has developed and/or utilizes proprietary or third party accounting and other systems in conjunction with the services that State Street provides to you. In this regard, State Street maintains certain information in databases under State Street ownership and/or control that State Street makes available to customers (the "Remote Access Services").

**<u>The Services</u>**

State Street agrees to provide you, the Customer, and your designated employees, investment advisors, consultants or other third parties who agree to abide by the terms of this Addendum ("Authorized Designees") with access to State Street proprietary and third party systems as may be offered by State Street from time to time (each, a "System") on a remote basis.

**<u>Security Procedures</u>**

You agree to comply, and to cause your Authorized Designees to comply, with remote access operating standards and procedures and with user identification or other password control requirements and other security devices and procedures as may be issued or required from time to time by State Street or its third party vendors for use of the System and access to the Remote Access Services. You are responsible for any use and/or misuse of the System and Remote Access Services by your Authorized Designees. You agree to advise State Street immediately in the event that you learn or have reason to believe that any person to whom you have given access to the System or the Remote Access Services has violated or intends to violate the terms of this Addendum and you will cooperate with State Street in seeking injunctive or other equitable relief. You agree to discontinue use of the System and Remote Access Services, if requested, for any security reasons cited by State Street and State Street may restrict access of the System and Remote Access Services by you or any Authorized Designee for security reasons or noncompliance with the terms of this Addendum at any time.

**<u>Fees</u>**

Fees and charges for the use of the System and the Remote Access Services and related payment terms shall be as set forth in the RAA Fee Schedule in effect from time to time as agreed between the parties (the "RAA Fee Schedule"). You shall be responsible for any tariffs, duties or taxes imposed or levied by any government or governmental agency by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Addendum, including, without limitation, federal, state and local taxes, use, value added and personal property taxes (other than income, franchise or similar taxes which may be imposed or assessed against State Street). Any claimed exemption from such tariffs, duties or taxes shall be supported by proper documentary evidence delivered to State Street.

**<u>Proprietary Information/Injunctive Relief</u>**

The System and Remote Access Services described herein and the databases, computer programs, screen formats, report formats, interactive design techniques, formulae, processes, systems, software, knowhow, algorithms, programs, training aids, printed materials, methods, books, records, files, documentation and other information made available to you by State Street as part of the Remote Access Services and through the use of the System and all copyrights, patents, trade secrets and other proprietary and intellectual property rights of State Street and third party vendors related thereto are the exclusive, valuable and confidential proprietary property of State Street and its relevant licensors and third party vendors (the "Proprietary Information"). You agree on behalf of yourself and your Authorized Designees to keep the Proprietary Information confidential and to limit access to your employees and Authorized Designees (under a similar duty of confidentiality) who require access to the System for the purposes intended. The foregoing shall not apply to Proprietary Information in the public domain or required by law to be made public.

------

You agree to use the Remote Access Services only in connection with the proper purposes of this Addendum. You will not, and will cause your employees and Authorized Designees not to, (i) permit any third party to use the System or the Remote Access Services, (ii) sell, rent, license or otherwise use the System or the Remote Access Services in the operation of a service bureau or for any purpose other than as expressly authorized under this Addendum, (iii) use the System or the Remote Access Services for any fund, trust or other investment vehicle without the prior written consent of State Street, or (iv) allow or cause any information transmitted from State Street's databases, including data from third party sources, available through use of the System or the Remote Access Services, to be published, redistributed or retransmitted for other than use for or on behalf of yourself, as our Customer.

You agree that neither you nor your Authorized Designees will modify the System in any way, enhance, copy or otherwise create derivative works based upon the System, nor will you or your Authorized Designees reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to secure the source code for all or any part of the System.

You acknowledge that the disclosure of any Proprietary Information, or of any information which at law or equity ought to remain confidential, will immediately give rise to continuing irreparable injury to State Street or its third party licensors and vendors inadequately compensable in damages at law and that State Street shall be entitled to obtain immediate injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of any of the foregoing undertakings, in addition to any other legal remedies which may be available.

**<u>Limited Warranties</u>**

State Street represents and warrants that it is the owner of and/or has the right to grant access to the System and to provide the Remote Access Services contemplated herein. Because of the nature of computer information technology, including but not limited to the use of the Internet, and the necessity of relying upon third party sources and data and pricing information obtained from third parties, the System and Remote Access Services are provided "AS IS" without warranty express or implied including as to availability of the System, and you and your Authorized Designees shall be solely responsible for the use of the System and Remote Access Services and investment decisions, results obtained, regulatory reports and statements produced using the Remote Access Services. State Street and its relevant licensors and third party vendors will not be liable to you or your Authorized Designees for any direct or indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages arising out of or in any way connected with the System or the Remote Access Services, nor shall any party be responsible for delays or nonperformance under this Addendum arising out of any cause or event beyond such party's control.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS ADDENDUM, STATE STREET FOR ITSELF AND ITS RELEVANT LICENSORS AND THIRD PARTY VENDORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES CONCERNING THE SYSTEM AND THE SERVICES TO BE RENDERED HEREUNDER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

**<u>Infringement</u>**

State Street will defend or, at our option, settle any claim or action brought against you to the extent that it is based upon an assertion that access to or use of State Street proprietary systems by you under this Addendum constitutes direct infringement of any United States patent or copyright or misappropriation of a trade secret, provided that you notify State Street promptly in writing of any such claim or proceeding and cooperate with State Street in the defense of such claim or proceeding and allow State Street sole control over such claim or proceeding. Should the State Street proprietary system or any part thereof become, or in State Street's opinion be likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement or the like under any applicable patent, copyright or trade secret laws, State Street shall have the right, at State Street's sole option, to (i) procure for you the right to continue using the State Street proprietary system, (ii) replace or modify the State Street proprietary system so that the State Street proprietary system becomes noninfringing, or (iii) terminate this Addendum without further obligation. This section constitutes the sole remedy available to you for the matters described in this section.

In the event of termination, you will return to State Street all copies of documentation and other confidential information in your possession or in the possession of your Authorized Designees and immediately cease access to the System and Remote Access Services. The foregoing provisions with respect to confidentiality and infringement will survive termination for a period of three (3) years.

**<u>Miscellaneous</u>**

This Addendum constitutes our entire understanding with respect to access to the System and the Remote Access Services. This Addendum cannot be modified or altered except in a writing duly executed by both of us and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The Price Per Share shall mean the Company's then-calculated net asset value per Share determined by the Company as of a date within 48 hours of the Closing Date, which will be determined in accordance with the limitations under Section 23 of the Investment Company Act.

5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **<u>Dividends; Dividend Reinvestment Plan</u>**. As described more fully in the Offering Document, the Company generally intends to make quarterly distributions in such amounts as determined by the Company's Board of Trustees ("*Board*") in its discretion. The Company adopted an "opt out" dividend reinvestment plan (the "*DRIP*"), under which a Shareholder participating in the DRIP will have cash distributions declared by the Company and payable to such Shareholder automatically be reinvested under the DRIP in additional whole and fractional Shares. Shareholders will participate in the DRIP unless the Shareholder "opts out" of the DRIP by notifying the Company in writing through the account maintenance page of the Company's Shareholder Account website (secureaccountview.com/BFWeb/clients/kennedylewiscc/index) or by calling the Company's call center at 866-966-0157, in each case, at least 20 business days prior to the distribution date fixed by the Board for such dividend, thereby electing to receive cash distributions or a combination of cash and Shares. Shareholders who receive distributions in the form of additional Shares generally will be subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as Shareholders who elect not to participate in the DRIP and receive cash distributions or a combination of cash and Shares.

6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **<u>Credit Facility</u>**. In connection with any financings, borrowings, indebtedness, or guarantees (any financing, borrowing, indebtedness or guaranty, a "*Credit Facility*") of the Company and any of its subsidiaries that are party to a Credit Facility, the Company shall be authorized to directly or indirectly collateralize such financings, borrowings, indebtedness or guaranty, and pledge, mortgage, assign, transfer and/or grant security interests directly or indirectly to the lender of such indebtedness or guaranty in (i) investments in portfolio companies and the proceeds thereof and any other assets, (ii) the Company's rights to enforce the funding of a Subscription Amount hereunder and under the Other Subscription Agreements; and (iii) a Company collateral account into which the payment by any Subscriber of its Subscription Amount may be made. Any such collateral pledge may be made directly by the Company to the lender of the Credit Facility or indirectly to such lender by first pledging such collateral to a subsidiary or agent of the Company, which subsidiary or agent then on pledges such rights ultimately to the lender under the Credit Facility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Subject to Section 2 hereof, at such times as the Advisor determines, the Advisor may elect to pay certain additional expenses of the Company on the Company's behalf (each such payment, a "**Voluntary Expense Payment**" and together with a Required Expense Payment, the "**Expense Payments**"). In making a Voluntary Expense Payment, the Advisor will designate, as it deems necessary or advisable, what type of expense it is paying (including, whether it is paying organizational or offering expenses); provided that no portion of a Voluntary Expense Payment will be used to pay any interest expense of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Advisor's obligation to make a Required Expense Payment shall automatically become a liability of the Advisor and the Company's right to receive a Required Expense Payment shall be an asset of the Company on the last calendar day of the applicable quarter. Any Required Expense Payment shall be paid by the Advisor to the Company in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds and/or offset against amounts due from the Company to the Advisor or its affiliates no later than forty-five days after such obligation was incurred.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company's right to receive a Voluntary Expense Payment shall be an asset of the Company upon the Advisor committing in writing to pay the Voluntary Expense Payment. Any Voluntary Expense Payment that the Advisor has committed to pay shall be paid by the Advisor to the Company in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds no later than forty-five days after such commitment was made in writing, and/or offset against amounts due from the Company to the Advisor or its affiliates.

2. <u>Reimbursement of Expense Payments by the Company</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Following any quarter in which the Company's Available Operating Funds (as defined below) exceed the cumulative distributions accrued to the Company's shareholders based on distributions declared with respect to record dates occurring in such calendar quarters (the amount of such excess is defined as "**Excess Operating Funds**"), the Company will pay such Excess Operating Funds, or a portion thereof, to the Advisor until such time as all Expense Payments made by the Advisor to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter have been reimbursed (such payment by the Company is referred to herein as the "**Reimbursement Payment**"). "**Available Operating Funds**" means the sum of (i) the Company's net investment company taxable income (including net short-term capital gains reduced by net long-term capital losses), (ii) the Company's net capital gains (including the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) and (iii) dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts listed in clause (iii) are not included under clauses (i) and (ii) above). The amount of the Reimbursement Payment for any calendar quarter will equal the lesser of (i) the Excess Operating Funds in such quarter and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Expense Payments made by the Advisor to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter that have not been previously reimbursed by the Company to the Advisor; provided that the Advisor may waive its right to receive all or a portion of any Reimbursement Payment in any particular calendar quarter, in which case such waived amount will remain unreimbursed Expense Payments reimbursable in future quarters pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Reimbursement Payment for any quarter shall be made if: (1) the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share (as defined below) declared by the Company at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is less than the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates, (2) the Company's Operating Expense Ratio (as defined below) at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is greater than the Operating Expense Ratio at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relate, or (3) the Company's Other Operating Expenses at the time of such Reimbursement Payment exceeds 1.00% of the Company's applicable quarter-end net asset value. For purposes of the Agreement, "**Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share**" means the annualized rate (based on a 365-day year) of regular cash distributions per share exclusive of returns of capital and declared special dividends or special distributions, if any. The "**Operating Expense Ratio**" is calculated by dividing Operating Expenses, less organizational and offering expenses, base management and incentive fees owed to the Advisor, shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees, and interest expense, by the Company's net assets. "**Operating Expenses**" means all of the Company's operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company's obligation to make a Reimbursement Payment shall automatically become a liability of the Company on the last business day of the applicable calendar quarter, except to the extent the Advisor has waived its right to receive such payment for the applicable quarter. The Reimbursement Payment for any calendar quarter will be paid by the Company to the Advisor in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds as promptly as possible following such calendar quarter and in no event later than 45 days after the end of such calendar quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; All Reimbursement Payments hereunder shall be deemed to relate to the earliest unreimbursed Expense Payments made by the Advisor to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of the calendar quarter in which such Reimbursement Payment obligation is accrued.

3. <u>Termination and Survival</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Agreement shall become effective as of the date set forth above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Company or the Advisor at any time, with or without notice, provided that any Expense Payments that have not been reimbursed by the Company to the Advisor will remain the obligation of the Company following any such termination, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of (i) the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, or (ii) the Board of Trustees of the Company makes a determination to dissolve or liquidate the Company.
