AMENDED AND RESTATED CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 

  

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”) is made and entered into this 6th day of September 2016 (the “ Effective Date ”), by and between Celsion Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the   “ Company ”), and Timothy Tumminello (the “ Executive ”). 

  

RECITALS 

WHEREAS, the Company and the executive are parties to that certain dated as of February 6, 2013 (the “Existing Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend and restate the Existing Agreement in its entirety as set forth in this Agreement;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

THE PARTIES ENTER THIS AGREEMENT on the basis of the following facts, understandings and intentions: 

  

A.           The Executive is a key executive of the Company. 

  

B.            Should the possibility of a Change in Control arise, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) believes it is imperative that the Company and the Board be able to rely upon the Executive to continue in his position, and that the Company should be able to receive and rely upon the Executive’s advice, if requested, as to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders without concern that the Executive might be distracted by the personal uncertainties and risks created by the possibility of a Change in Control. 

  

C.            The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “ Compensation Committee ”) has approved the Company entering into a change in control severance agreement with the Executive to help mitigate the uncertainties and risks to the Executive should the possibility of a Change in Control arise. 

  

D.           This Agreement provides the benefits the Executive will be entitled to receive upon certain terminations of employment in connection with a Change in Control from and after the Effective Date and supersedes and negates all previous agreements with respect to such benefits except as expressly provided herein. 

  

AGREEMENT 

 NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the above recitals incorporated herein and the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby expressly acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 

  

1.             Termination of Employment . 

  

	
  
	
1.1 
	
Termination Outside of Change in Control Context .   If, at any time prior to the date of a Change in Control or any time after the date that is two (2) years after a Change in Control, the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason by the Company or by the Executive (in any case, the date that the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates is referred to as the “ Severance Date ”), the Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits under this Agreement.  The Executive’s rights (if any) to receive any payments or benefits in connection with such termination shall be determined under any employment agreement, offer letter or similar agreement between the Executive and the Company then in effect (an “ Employment Agreement ”) or any other Company agreement, plan or policy then in effect under which the Executive would be entitled to severance benefits in connection with such a termination of employment (any such agreement (including an Employment Agreement), plan or policy, a “ Severance Arrangement ”). 

   

 

 

 

 

	
  
	
1.2 
	
Termination in Connection with a Change in Control .   If, at any time during the period commencing on the date of a Change in Control and ending two (2) years after the Change in Control, the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason by the Company or by the Executive, the Company shall have no further obligation to make or provide to the Executive, and the Executive shall have no further right to receive or obtain from the Company, any payments or benefits except as follows: 

  

(a)           The Company shall pay the Executive (or, in the event of his death, the Executive’s estate) any Accrued Obligations; 

  

(b)           If such a termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company constitutes an Involuntary Termination, the Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits (in addition to the Accrued Obligations and any payments or benefits payable to the Executive pursuant to any Severance Arrangement): 

  

(i)            The Company shall pay the Executive, subject to tax withholding and other authorized deductions, an amount equal to (x) two (2), times (y) the sum of (1) the Executive’s base salary at the annualized rate in effect on the Severance Date plus (2) the Executive’s target annual bonus for the Company’s fiscal year in which the Severance Date occurs.  Such amount is referred to hereinafter as the “Severance Benefit”. Subject to Section 17(b), the Company shall pay the Severance Benefit to the Executive in a lump sum in the month following the month in which the Executive’s Separation from Service (as such term is defined in Section 2) occurs.

  

(ii)           The Company will pay or reimburse the Executive for his premiums charged to continue medical coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“ COBRA ”), at the same or reasonably equivalent medical coverage for the Executive (and, if applicable, the Executive’s eligible dependents) as in effect immediately prior to the Severance Date, to the extent that the Executive elects such continued coverage; provided that the Company’s obligation to make any payment or reimbursement pursuant to this clause (ii) shall, subject to Section 17(b), commence with continuation coverage for the month following the month in which the Executive’s Separation from Service occurs and shall cease with continuation coverage for the twenty fourth (24 th ) month following the month in which the Executive’s Separation from Service occurs (or, if earlier, shall cease upon the first to occur of the Executive’s death, the date the Executive becomes eligible for coverage under the health plan of a future employer, or the date the Company ceases to offer group medical coverage to its active executive employees or the Company is otherwise under no obligation to offer COBRA continuation coverage to the Executive).  To the extent the Executive elects COBRA coverage, he shall notify the Company in writing of such election prior to such coverage taking effect and complete any other continuation coverage enrollment procedures the Company may then have in place. 

  

(iii)          The Company will pay or reimburse the Executive for his premiums charged to continue term life insurance coverage provided by the Company for the Executive (and, if applicable, the Executive’s eligible dependents), on the terms and at the coverage levels in effect on the Severance Date, for a period of twenty fourth (24) months commencing with the month following the month in which the Executive’s Separation from Service occurs. 

 

 

 

 

   

(iv)          Each option and other equity-based award granted by the Company to the Executive, to the extent outstanding and unvested on the Severance Date, shall accelerate and be fully vested as of the Severance Date; provided, however, that, as to any such equity award that is subject to performance-based vesting requirements, the vesting of such award will continue to be governed by its terms, except that any service-based vesting requirement applicable to such award will be deemed to be fully satisfied as of the Severance Date.  Each such award that is an option or similar award, to the extent outstanding and vested on the Severance Date (after giving effect to the foregoing acceleration provision), shall be exercisable after the Severance Date as follows: (x) to the extent such option or award was outstanding and vested on the date of the Change in Control, such option or award shall remain exercisable for the remainder of the original maximum term of such option or award, and (y) to the extent such option or award was unvested on the date of the Change in Control and vested at any time after the Change in Control and on or before the Severance Date (including any such option or award that vested pursuant to the foregoing acceleration provision), such option or award shall remain exercisable until the first to occur of (A) the last day of the original maximum term of such option or award, or (B) the date that is twenty fourth (24) months after the last day such option or award would have been exercisable in accordance with its terms following such a termination of the Executive’s employment.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any such option or award shall be subject to earlier termination in connection with a change in control of the Company and similar events as provided in the applicable plan and/or award agreement (provided that the Executive is given a reasonable opportunity to exercise such vested option or award prior to its termination.)  

 

(c)           The foregoing provisions of this Section 1.2 shall not affect: (i) the Executive’s receipt of benefits otherwise due terminated employees under group insurance coverage consistent with the terms of the applicable Company welfare benefit plan; (ii) the Executive’s rights under COBRA to continue participation in medical, dental, hospitalization and life insurance coverage; or (iii) the Executive’s receipt of benefits otherwise due in accordance with the terms of the Company’s 401(k) plan (if any) and any vested Company equity or incentive awards in accordance with the terms and conditions of such awards. 

  

(d)           For avoidance of doubt, if the Executive is entitled to receive severance benefits in connection with a termination of employment under both this Agreement and any Severance Arrangement, the Executive shall be entitled to receive both the benefits provided in this Agreement and the benefits provided in such Severance Arrangement. 

  

	
  
	
1.3 
	
Release; No Duty to Mitigate . 

  

(a)           This Section 1.3 shall apply notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary.  As a condition precedent to any Company obligation to the Executive pursuant to Section 1.2(b), the Executive shall, upon or promptly following his last day of employment with the Company (and in all events within twenty-one (21) days after his last day of employment with the Company), provide the Company with a valid, executed Release Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (with such changes as the Company may determine to be required or reasonably advisable in order to make the release enforceable and otherwise compliant with applicable laws), and such Release Agreement shall have not been revoked by the Executive pursuant to any revocation rights afforded by applicable law. 

  

(b)           The Company and the Executive acknowledge and agree that there is no duty of the Executive to mitigate damages under this Agreement.  All amounts paid to the Executive pursuant to Section 1.2 shall be paid without regard to whether the Executive has taken or takes actions to mitigate damages.  The Executive agrees to resign, on the Severance Date, from the Company and any affiliate of the Company, as an officer and director of the Company, and as a fiduciary of any benefit plan of the Company or any affiliate of the Company (in each case, to the extent the Executive then has any such position), and to promptly execute and provide to the Company any further documentation, as requested by the Company, to confirm such resignation.

(c)           “ Change in Control ” means the occurrence of any of the following events:

(ii)           a material diminution by the Company of the Executive’s rate of base salary or annual target bonus opportunity as in effect immediately prior to such reduction;

Withholding Taxes; Section 280G . 

  

(a)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may withhold (or cause there to be withheld, as the case may be) from any amounts otherwise due or payable under or pursuant to this Agreement such federal, state and local income, employment, or other taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 

  

(b)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement and benefits provided to, or for the benefit of, the Executive under any other Company plan or agreement (such payments or benefits are collectively referred to as the “ Benefits ”) would be subject to the excise tax (the “ Excise Tax ”) imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), the Benefits shall be reduced (but not below zero) if and to the extent that a reduction in the Benefits would result in the Executive retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis (taking into account federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax), than if the Executive received all of the Benefits (such reduced amount is referred to hereinafter as the “ Limited Benefit Amount ”).  Unless the Executive shall have given prior written notice (to the extent such a notice does not result in any tax liabilities under Section 409A of the Code) specifying a different order to the Company to effectuate the Limited Benefit Amount, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Benefits by first reducing or eliminating those payments or benefits which are not payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating cash payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the Determination (as hereinafter defined).  Any notice given by the Executive pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Executive’s rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.  A determination as to whether the Benefits shall be reduced to the Limited Benefit Amount pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of such Limited Benefit Amount shall be made by Company’s independent public accountants or another certified public accounting firm of national reputation designated by the Company (the “ Accounting Firm ”) at the Company’s expense.  The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “ Determination ”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation to Company and Executive within five (5) days of the date of termination of the Executive’s employment, if applicable, or such other time as requested by Company or the Executive (provided the Executive reasonably believes that any of the Benefits may be subject to the Excise Tax), and if the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive with respect to any Benefits, it shall furnish the Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Benefits.  Unless the Executive provides written notice to Company within ten (10) days of the delivery of the Determination to the Executive that he disputes such Determination, the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon Company and the Executive. 

 

 

 

 

   

	
4.

(a)           This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives. 

 

(b)           This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

(b)           If the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) as of the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service, the Executive shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit pursuant to Section 1.2(b) of this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after his or her Separation from Service for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of the Executive’s death.  The provisions of this Section 17(b) shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Code Section 409A.  Any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive upon or in the six (6) month period following the Executive’s Separation from Service that are not so paid by reason of this Section 17(b) shall be paid (without interest) as soon as practicable (and in all events within thirty (30) days) after the date that is six (6) months after the Executive’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, as soon as practicable, and in all events within thirty (30) days, after the date of the Executive’s death). 

  

(c)           To the extent that any benefits or reimbursements pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(ii) or Section 1.2(b)(iii) of this Agreement are taxable to the Executive, any reimbursement payment due to the Executive pursuant to such provisions shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred.  The benefits and reimbursements pursuant to such provisions are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such benefits and reimbursements that the Executive receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such benefits or reimbursements that the Executive receives in any other taxable year.

(a) Each Member has made an initial Capital Contribution of $1,000 in U.S. dollars to the Company (“Initial Capital
Contribution”) and a Subsequent Contribution of $14,000,000 in U.S. dollars to the Company. Each Member agrees to make additional Subsequent Contributions to the Company up to the amount set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Subsequent Contribution shall be made from time to time within five (5) business days after the date of notice from the Administrative Agent (or any other Person with the power and authority to
call the Capital Commitments) specifying the amount then to be paid, or at such later date as may be specified in such notice, and the bank account of the Company to which such amount is then to be paid; provided that the capital call of any such
amount shall be subject to Board Approval. Capital Contributions shall be made by all Members pro rata based on their respective Capital Commitments; provided, in the event that one or more Member is considered a Defaulting Member, then such
Capital Contributions called by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall first be paid by such Defaulting Member until the Defaulting Member has satisfied all unpaid amounts due and owing to the Company, and all remaining amounts
shall then be paid by all Members pro rata based on their respective Capital Commitments. The Members agree that, within five (5) business days after the date of each notice from the Administrative Agent (or any other Person with the power and
authority to call the Capital Commitments) specifying the amount then to be paid or such later date as may be specified in such notice on which such amount is then to be paid, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Company shall undertake a
Qualifying JV Pledge Reduction in accordance with the LSA so that, following the effectiveness of such Qualifying JV Pledge Reduction, the aggregate amount of JV Capital Pledge Amount under the LSA will be reduced to no more than (x) the
aggregate amount of Capital Commitments of the Members, minus (y) the aggregate amount of Capital Commitments called to date. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Members promptly if the Administrative Agent (as defined in the LSA)

 (b) Notwithstanding
anything else herein, at any time that CGMSF is a Pledge Defaulting Member and Credit Partners is a Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not call any Capital Contributions and (ii) Capital Contributions may be called by
the Board. 
 (c) Any call of Capital Contributions shall be called by delivering to each Member a notice, substantially in the form as set
forth on Exhibit B hereto. 
 (d) Capital Contributions which are not used for their intended purpose shall be returned to the Members

Commitment with respect thereto) immediately upon notice to the other Member following a Cause Event with respect to such other Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Member shall remain liable for such Member’s unfunded Capital
Commitment for Valid Company Purposes set forth in clauses (ii) through (vi) thereof during any suspension of the Investment Period.

Partners is under no obligation to fund such Capital Contribution unless CGMSF makes a concurrent Capital Contribution. Credit Partners’ failure to pay in full its Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1(g) shall not by itself be
cause for any claim or action by CGMSF pursuant to the terms of Section 4.3 hereof. 
 Section 4.2. Temporary Advances. A Member or
its Affiliates, with Board Approval, may make loans (“Temporary Advances”) to temporarily fund obligations for Valid Company Purposes until Capital Contributions are made by the Members as set forth in Section 4.1. Such
Temporary Advances plus interest at the Temporary Advance Rate shall be returned from any Capital Contributions by the Members under Section 4.1, with any unreturned Temporary Advances plus interest at the Temporary Advance Rate paid in accordance
with Section 6.1. 
 Section 4.3. Defaulting Members. 

(a) (x) Upon the failure of any Member (a “Defaulting Member”) to pay in full any portion of such Member’s Capital
Commitment within ten (10) days after written notice from the other Member (the “Default Date”) that such payment is overdue, the other Member (so long as it is not a Defaulting Member) (a “Non-Defaulting Member”),
in its sole discretion, shall have the right to pursue one or more of the following remedies on behalf of the Company if such failure has not been cured in full within such ten-day period; provided, that, in the case of CGMSF, CGMSF shall be
considered a “Defaulting Member” for purposes of this Agreement automatically if CGMSF fails to make such payment within ten (10) days following the date upon which such payment was due by all Members, and the “Default Date” for
CGMSF shall be considered the 11th day following the date upon which such payment was due, or (y) on the date that a Member becomes a Pledge Defaulting Member (the “Pledge Default Date”), the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, in its
sole discretion, shall have the right to pursue one or more of the following remedies on behalf of the Company: 
 (i)
collect such unpaid portion (and all attorneys’ fees and other costs incident thereto) by exercising and/or pursuing any legal remedy the Company may have; 

  
 18 

 (ii) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Defaulting Member or the
Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable (which period may commence during the ten (10) day notice period provided above in the case of the Defaulting Member), and provided that the overdue payment has not been made, dissolve and wind down the
Company in accordance with Article 9 as long as such action is not prohibited by Section 9.2(b); and 
 (iii) upon thirty
(30) days’ written notice to the Defaulting Member or the Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable (which period may commence during the ten (10) day notice period provided above in the case of the Defaulting Member) and if such failure has not
been cured in full within such thirty (30) day period, compel the Defaulting Member or the Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable, to sell or transfer all or a portion of its Membership Interest in whole or in part subject to the following: 

(A) If the other Member notifies the Defaulting Member or the Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable, to sell or transfer all
or a part of its Membership Interest, such Defaulting Member or Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable, shall do so within sixty (60) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. 

(B) Upon any failure of the Defaulting Member or the Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable, under any circumstances, to sell
or transfer all of its Membership Interests that are required to be sold within such sixty (60) day period, the Non-Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, may purchase such Membership Interest or sell or transfer such
Membership Interest to a third party or, subject to applicable law, to an Affiliate of a Member or the Company. The price for such sale or transfer shall be the lower of (x) the cost of such Membership Interests, and (y) the fair market value
of such Membership Interests, as determined by an investment bank selected by the Non-Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, for a hypothetical sale of such Membership Interest to an unaffiliated third party willing to
purchase such Membership Interest within a ninety (90) day time period; provided, however, that if no such buyer is found within such ninety (90) day period to purchase the Membership Interest of the Defaulting Member or the Pledge Defaulting
Member, as applicable, at such price or a higher price, then the Non-Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, may direct the sale or transfer of the Membership Interest of the Defaulting Member or the Pledge
Defaulting Member, as applicable, at a price and subject to such terms and conditions as it deems commercially reasonable in its good faith judgment and sole discretion, which terms and conditions may include the acceptance by the Defaulting Member
or the Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable, of a promissory note issued by the purchaser thereof. 
 (C) To the extent
any amounts are owed by a Defaulting Member to a non-Defaulting Member or by a Pledge Defaulting Member to a Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, with respect to a Default Loan, any purchase price that would otherwise be payable to the
Defaulting Member or 

  
 19 

 
the Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable, under this Section 4.3(a)(iii) shall instead first be paid to the Non-Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, pursuant
to the terms of Section 4.3(b)(iii) hereof, until each such Default Loan (and any accrued interest thereon) has been repaid in full with the remainder of such purchase price, if any, payable to the Defaulting Member or the Pledge Defaulting Member,
as applicable. 
 Except as set forth below, the election of the Non-Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, to pursue any one
of such remedies shall not be deemed to preclude such Member from pursuing any other such remedy, or any other available remedy, simultaneously or subsequently. 

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, 

(i) a Defaulting Member or a Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable, shall not be entitled to distributions made after the
Default Date or the Pledge Default Date, as applicable, until the default is cured and any such distributions to which such Defaulting Member or Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable, would otherwise have been entitled if such default had not
occurred shall be debited against the Capital Account of the Defaulting Member or the Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable, so as to reduce the remaining amount of the default; 

(ii) the Company shall not make new Investments after the Default Date or the Pledge Default Date, as applicable, until the
default is cured except as permitted pursuant to clauses (ii) through (vi) of Valid Company Purposes; and 
 (iii) the
Non-Defaulting Member, in its or their sole discretion, may fund all or any portion of the defaulted amount on behalf of the Defaulting Member with notice to the Board and to the other Members. The Members agree and acknowledge that any amount
so funded by the Non-Defaulting Member shall be treated as a loan from the Non-Defaulting Member to the Defaulting Member (a “Default Loan”), the proceeds of which are used by the Defaulting Member to make a Capital Contribution to
the Company which, if in a sufficient amount, may cure a related default by such Defaulting Member. A Default Loan shall (A) bear interest from the date of such funding until repaid by the Defaulting Member or the Pledge Defaulting Member, as
applicable, at a rate equal to 20% per annum, (B) be pre-payable by the Defaulting Member or the Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable, at any time and (C) be fully recourse to the Defaulting Member or the Pledge Defaulting Member, as
applicable. Until such time that there is no outstanding balance owed under any Default Loan (including any accrued interest thereon), (x) any amounts that would otherwise be distributable to the Defaulting Member or the Pledge Defaulting
Member, as applicable, under Section 6.1(b) hereof shall instead be distributed to the Non-Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, and (y) any purchase price payable to the Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting
Member, as applicable, in connection with any sale of its or their respective Membership Interests in the Company shall first be paid to the Non-Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, and in each case of (x) and (y),
as repayment of the Default Loan(s) until the repayment in full of 

  
 20 

 
such Default Loan(s) (including any accrued interest thereon) proportionate to the amount of Default Loan(s) so extended by the Non-Defaulting Member to such Defaulting Member or by the Pledge
Non-Defaulting Member to such Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable. Any amounts distributed to the Non-Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, pursuant to the previous sentence shall be treated for all purposes
of this Agreement and for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes as having been made by the Company to the Defaulting Member or the Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable, notwithstanding the Company’s distribution of such amounts
to the Non-Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, and any amounts distributed or payable to the Non-Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, pursuant to the previous sentence shall reduce
the amounts owed to the Non-Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, under the related Default Loan, first as to interest and then as to principal. 

(iv) In the event that (I) the Collateral Agent calls capital from a Member pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, (II) one Member
pays in full all of such capital call (the “Pledge Non-Defaulting Member”) and (III) the other Member either (x) fails to pay in full all or any portion of a concurrent call of capital by the Collateral Agent or (y) was not
required by the Collateral Agent to make a concurrent Capital Contribution (in either case, a “Pledge Defaulting Member”), then at the sole election of the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, the Pledge Agreement Shortfall Amount shall be
treated as a Default Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing: 
 (A) if the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member does not elect to treat
such called capital as a Default Loan within five (5) days of paying the Pledge Agreement Shortfall Amount, then additional Membership Interests in the Company will be issued to the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member such that each Member’s
percentage ownership of the Company is equal to the aggregate Capital Contributions made by such Member divided by the aggregate Capital Contributions made by both Members; and 

(B) if the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member is Credit Partners, and Credit Partners does not elect to treat such called capital as
a Default Loan within five (5) days of paying the Pledge Agreement Shortfall Amount, then: 
 (1) (x) the interest earned on
the Mezzanine Loan shall be added to the principal amount of such Mezzanine Loan (such principal, the “PIK Principal”), (y) notwithstanding the maturity date provided in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, the Mezzanine Loan
shall be payable on the date that is six (6) months after the Final Maturity Date under the LSA, and (z) at the election of Credit Partners, CGMSF will irrevocably cancel the PIK Principal and such cancellation will be deemed to be a
Capital Contribution by CGMSF for all purposes hereunder (it being understood that CGMSF shall execute any and all documentation in connection with such deemed Capital Contribution). In the event the PIK Principal is canceled pursuant to this
Section 4.3(b)(iv)(B), additional Membership Interests in the Company will be issued to CGMSF such that each Member’s percentage ownership of the Company is equal to the aggregate Capital Contributions made by such Member divided by the
aggregate Capital Contributions made by both Members; 

  
 21 

 (2) notwithstanding Section 7.2 hereof or any other provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, Credit Partners shall have the right to elect, designate or appoint one (1) additional Board Member, upon notice to all Board Members; and 

(3) notwithstanding Section 7.4 hereof or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) any act or decision done
or made by the Board shall require the approval of a majority of Board Members and (ii) a quorum of the Board shall require at least four (4) Board Members as long as at least three (3) Board Members are present that were elected, designated or
appointed by Credit Partners; provided that, without limiting Section 7.3 hereof, all Board Members shall be given notice of any meeting of the Board (including the agenda of such meeting which shall be prepared in good faith and with
reasonable efforts to describe all actions to be taken by the Board at such meeting); and 
 (4) notwithstanding
Section 7.6 hereof or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Credit Partners shall have the right to elect, designate or appoint one (1) additional Investment Committee Member, upon notice to all Investment Committee
Members; and 
 (5) notwithstanding Section 7.8 hereof or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) any act
or decision done or made by the Investment Committee shall require the approval of a majority of Investment Committee Members and (ii) a quorum of the Investment Committee shall require at least three (3) Investment Committee Members as long as
at least two (2) Investment Committee Members are present that were elected, designated or appointed by Credit Partners provided that, without limiting Section 7.7 hereof, all Investment Committee Members shall be given notice of any meeting of
the Investment Committee (including the agenda of such meeting, which shall be prepared in good faith and with reasonable efforts to describe all actions to be taken by the Board at such meeting). 

Section 4.4. Membership Interest or Withdrawals. No Member shall be entitled to receive any interest on any Capital Contribution to the
Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no Member shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Contributions or Capital Account balance. 

Section 4.5. Admission of Additional Members. 

(a) The Members may, with Board Approval, (i) admit additional Members upon terms approved by Board Approval, or (ii) permit existing Members
to subscribe for additional Membership Interests in the Company; provided, however, that, subject to Section 4.3(b)(iv), CGMSF shall at all times retain a Proportionate Share of at least 50%; and provided, further, that the admission of
Substituted Members shall be governed by Section 8.1. 

  
 22 

 (b) Each additional Member shall execute and deliver a written instrument satisfactory to the
existing Members and the Board whereby such Member becomes a party to this Agreement and any other documents required by the existing Members. Each such additional Member shall thereafter be entitled to all the rights and subject to all the
obligations of Members as set forth herein. Upon the admission of or the increase in the Membership Interest of any Member as herein provided, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to update the Member List, as required, to reflect such
admission or increase. 
 ARTICLE 5 

ALLOCATIONS 
 Section 5.1.
Capital Accounts. 
 (a) An individual capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be maintained for each Member in
accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Without limiting the foregoing, each Member’s Capital Account shall be credited with the sum of (i) (A) the amount of cash and (B) the fair value of Investments transferred by such
Member to the Company as Capital Contributions, net of any proceeds such Member receives from the Company in consideration of contributing such Investments, and (ii) the amount of all income (or items thereof) credited to the account of such Member
pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 5.3. Each Member’s Capital Account shall be reduced by the sum of (x) the cash and the fair value of property distributed to such Member and (y) allocations to it pursuant to Article 5 of deductions or
loss (or items thereof). The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2) and shall be
interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. 
 (b) Profit or Loss shall be allocated among Members as of
the end of each quarter of the Company; provided that Profit or Loss shall also be allocated at the end of (i) each period terminating on the date of any withdrawal by any Member, (ii) each period terminating immediately before the date of any
admission or increase in Capital Commitment of any Member, (iii) each period terminating immediately before the date of any change in the relative Capital Account balances of the Members, (iv) the liquidation of the Company, or (v) any period which
is determined by Board Approval to be appropriate. 
 (c) The Capital Accounts of the Members shall be increased or decreased in
accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect a revaluation of the property of the Company on the Company’s books as of the following times: (i) the acquisition of an additional interest in the Company by any new or
existing Member in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution; (ii) the distribution by the Company to a Member of more than a de minimis amount of the Company assets as consideration for an interest in the Company; and
(iii) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g); provided, however, that adjustments pursuant to clause (i) and clause (ii) of this sentence shall be made only if the
Board reasonably determines that such adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Members in the Company. 

  
 23 

 Section 5.2. General Allocations. Profit and Loss of the Company for each Fiscal Year
shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that, as of the end of such Fiscal Year and taking into account all prior allocations of Profit and Loss of the Company and all distributions made by the Company through such date, the Capital
Account of each Member is, as nearly as possible, equal to the distributions that would be made to such Member if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and assets sold for cash equal to their book value, all the Company liabilities were
satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the adjusted tax basis of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the Company were distributed immediately after such allocation. 

Section 5.3. Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions set forth above to the contrary, the following special
allocations shall be made in the following order: 
 (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in the Company
Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of the Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease
in the Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member
pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(f)(6) and § 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.3(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback
requirement in Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 
 (b) Member Minimum Gain
Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 5, if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Member which has a share of the Member Minimum Gain
attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of the Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal
Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the
previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(4)
and § 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii). This Section 5.3(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event that any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions
described in Treasury Regulations § 1.704 1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of the Company income and gain shall be specifically allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by

  
 24 

 
the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) shall be made if and only to the
extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article 5 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.3(c) were not applicable. The foregoing provision is intended to
comply with Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. 

(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event that any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year,
then each such Member shall be specially allocated items of the Company income and gain as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article 5 have been tentatively made as if Section 5.3(c) and this Section 5.3(d) were not applicable. 

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year will be allocated to the Members in the same manner in which
such items would have been allocated pursuant to Section 5.2. 
 (f) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse
Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with
Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(i). 
 (g) Code Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis
of any the Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.704 1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a
Member in complete liquidation of its interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such
basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Treasury Regulations Section. 

(h) Tax Allocations. Subject to Section 704(c) of the Code, for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, all items of the
Company income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as the corresponding item of income, gain, loss or deduction was allocated pursuant to the
preceding paragraphs of this Article 5. 
 (i) Section 704(c) Allocations. In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the
Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company, or any property owned by the Company at the time of any revaluation of the Company’s assets pursuant to
Section 5.1(c), shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its 

  
 25 

 fair market value at the time of contribution or revaluation. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.3(i)
are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profit, Loss or other items or distributions 

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that the Company realizes cancellation of indebtedness
income (“COD Income”) with respect to all or any portion of the Mezzanine Loan as a result of the cancellation of the PIK Principal, such COD Income shall be specially allocated to CGMSF. 

Section 5.4. Changes of Membership Interests. For purposes of allocating Profit or Loss for any fiscal year or other fiscal period
between any permitted transferor and transferee of a Membership Interest, or between any Members whose relative Membership Interests have changed during such period, or to any withdrawing Member that is no longer a Member in the Company, the Company
shall allocate according to any method allowed by the Code and selected by Board Approval. Distributions with respect to a Membership Interest in the Company shall be payable to the owner of such Membership Interest on the date of distribution
subject to the provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of determining the Profit or Loss allocable to or the distributions payable to a permitted transferee of a Membership Interest in the Company or to a Member whose Membership Interest has
otherwise increased or decreased, Profit or Loss allocations and distributions made to predecessor owners with respect to such transferred Membership Interest or increase of Membership Interest shall be deemed allocated and made to the permitted
transferee or other holder. 
 Section 5.5. Income Taxes and Tax Capital Accounts. Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or
credit shall be allocated in the same manner as such item is allocated pursuant to Section 5.2. 
 ARTICLE 6 

DISTRIBUTIONS 
 Section
6.1. General. 
 (a) To the extent of available cash and cash equivalents, the Company shall make distributions quarterly in an amount
equal to the investment company taxable income and net capital gains (each as computed under Sub-chapter M of the Code) earned in the preceding quarter, shared among the Members pro rata based on their respective Membership Interests; provided that
the amount of any such distribution may be reduced as provided by Section 6.2 and Section 6.3, including, without limitation, for the purpose of reinvesting proceeds received from Investments as set forth in Section 6.3. Available cash and cash
equivalents shall exclude Reserved Amounts and amounts that are likely to be used for Valid Company Purposes within a 60 day period. 
 (b)
Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6 or Section 9.3, distributions shall be shared among the Members as set forth in this Section 6.1(b). The Members, with Board Approval, may determine to make a distribution in addition to that
required by Section 6.1(a) hereof from available cash or cash equivalents received from one or more Investments (whether from principal repayment or otherwise and after reduction as provided by Section 6.2 and Section 6.3). Any such
distribution shall be shared among the Members as follows: 

  
 26 

 (i) First, to pay any outstanding Temporary Advances and any interest accrued
thereon; 
 (ii) Second, to the Members in respect of any accrued and unpaid interest on their Member Loans in proportion to
the outstanding balances of such Member Loans; 
 (iii) Third, to the Members in respect of any unpaid principal amount of
their Member Loans in proportion to the outstanding balance of such Member Loans; and
 (iv) Fourth, to the Members as
distributions in respect of their Membership Interests in the Company in proportion to their respective Capital Account balances. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, to the extent any amounts are owed by a Defaulting Member to a Non-Defaulting
Member or by a Pledge Defaulting Member to a Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, with respect to a Default Loan, any amounts that would otherwise be distributable to the Defaulting Member or the Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable,
under Sections 6.1(b)(ii), (iii) or (iv) shall instead be distributed to the Non-Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of Section 4.3(b)(iii). 

Section 6.2. Withholding.

(a) The Company may withhold from any distribution to any Member any amount which the Company has paid or is obligated to pay in respect of any
withholding or other tax, including, without limitation, any interest, penalties or additions with respect thereto, imposed on any interest or income of or distributions to such Member, and such withheld amount shall be considered an interest
payment or other distribution, as the case may be, to such Member for purposes hereof. If no payment is then being made to such Member in an amount sufficient to pay the Company’s withholding obligation, any amount which the Company is
obligated to pay shall be deemed an interest-free advance from the Company to such Member, payable by such Member by withholding from subsequent distributions or within ten (10) days after receiving written request for payment from the Company. 

(b) If a Member delivers to the Company a properly executed withholding tax exemption certificate (or such other form as the Internal Revenue
Service or the applicable foreign or state taxing authority may require) providing for a complete exemption from withholding tax, the Company shall not withhold from distributions (or with respect to such allocations) covered by such exemption
certificate. 

  
 27 

 Section 6.3. Reserves; Certain Limitations; Distributions in Kind. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions:
 (a) The Company may withhold from any distribution a reasonable reserve which the Members, with Board Approval,
determine to be appropriate for working capital of the Company or to discharge costs, Expenses and liabilities of the Company (whether or not accrued or contingent), or otherwise to be in the best interests of the Company for any Valid Company
Purpose. Any part or all of such reserved amount (“Reserved Amount”) that is released from reserve (other than to make payments on account of a purpose for which the reserve was established) shall be distributed to the Members
in accordance with Section 6.1 and Section 6.2. 
 (b) During the Investment Period, amounts received by the Company with respect to the
payment of principal or return of capital may be retained and used, or reserved to be used, to make any Investment. 
 (c) In no event shall
the Company be required to make a distribution to the extent that it would (i) render the Company insolvent, or (ii) violate Section 18-607(a) of the Act. 

(d) No part of any distribution shall be paid to any Member from which there is due and owing to the Company, at the time of such distribution,
any amount required to be paid to the Company pursuant to Article 4. Any such withheld distribution shall (i) be paid to such Member, without interest, when all past due installments of such Member’s Capital Commitment have been paid in
full by such Member or (ii) be applied against the past due amounts under such Member’s Capital Commitment. 
 (e) The Company shall not
distribute Illiquid Securities other than with Board Approval. Distributions of securities and of other non-cash assets of the Company other than upon the dissolution and liquidation of the Company shall only be made pro rata to all Members (in
proportion to their respective shares of the total distribution) with respect to each security or other such asset distributed. Securities listed on a national securities exchange that are not restricted as to transferability and unlisted
securities for which an active trading market exists and that are not restricted as to transferability shall be valued in the manner contemplated by Section 10.5 as of the close of business on the day preceding the distribution, and all other
securities and non-cash assets shall be valued as determined in the last valuation made pursuant to Section 10.5. 
 ARTICLE 7 

MANAGEMENT OF COMPANY

each Board Member may participate by telephone conference or similar communications equipment in accordance with Section 7.5) and the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called. Special meetings shall be called by a

  
 29 

 
Board Member in like manner and with like notice upon the written request of any one or more of the Board Members. Attendance of a Board Member at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of

Section 7.4. Quorum; Acts of the Board. 

(a) Subject to Section 4.3(b) hereof:

(ii) any act or decision done or made by the Board shall require the unanimous approval of all of the Board Members present at
any meeting duly held at which a quorum is present.

Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, has the right to pursue one or more of the remedies on behalf of the Company pursuant to Section 4.3 herein, then all Board Members designated to the Board by the Defaulting Member or the Pledge
Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, shall recuse themselves from a vote or consent to approve such act pursued by the Non-Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, under Section 4.3 (and shall not be counted for
purposes of determining whether or not a quorum has been established), and (ii) if the Administrative Agent intentionally materially breaches the Administration Agreement, and, to the extent such material breach can be cured, following a thirty (30)
day cure period such material breach remains, then all Board Members designated to the Board by CGMSF shall recuse themselves from any vote or consent to approve the removal of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Administration
Agreement, and the selection and appointment of a new administrative agent in connection therewith (and such Board Members shall not be counted for purposes of determining whether or not a quorum has been established) and Credit Partners shall be
permitted, on behalf of the Company, to send notice to the Administrative Agent of any such removal or termination. The Non-Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, shall give prompt notice to the Defaulting Member or
the Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable, of any actions taken pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (if such Defaulting Member or the Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable, is not present). If a quorum shall not be present at any
meeting of the Board, the Board Members present at such meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

(c) Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all

 30

designated by the Board, may participate in meetings of the Board, or any committee, by means of telephone conference or similar communications equipment that allows all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other, and such participation
in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting. If all the participants are participating by telephone conference or similar communications equipment, the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the principal place of business of
the Company. 
 Section 7.6. Investment Committee.  

(a) Subject to Section 4.3(b) hereof: 

(i) the Members shall appoint an Investment Committee initially comprised of four (4) Investment Committee Members. Each
Member shall have the right to elect, designate or appoint two (2) Investment Committee Members and their respective successors; and 

(ii) the authorized number of Investment Committee Members may be increased or decreased by the Members at any time by mutual
agreement, upon notice to all Investment Committee Members and Board Members, but the authorized number of Investment Committee Members may not be decreased to below two (2) and shall be proportionate to each Member. Each Investment Committee Member
elected, designated or appointed by a Member shall hold office until a successor is elected and qualified or until such Investment Committee Member’s earlier death, resignation, expulsion or removal by the Member that appointed such Investment
Committee Member. 
 (b) An Investment Committee Member need not be a Board Member, but shall have the skill and experience necessary to act
as a member of the Investment Committee.
 (c) Matters requiring Investment Committee Approval are set forth in further detail in Exhibit
G hereto, which is incorporated by reference herein.
 Section 7.7. Meetings of the Investment Committee. The Investment

any other means of communication, with such notice stating the place, date and hour of the meeting (and the means by which each Investment Committee Member may participate by telephone conference or similar communications equipment in accordance
with Section 7.5) and the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called. Special meetings shall be called by an Investment Committee Member in like manner and with like notice upon the written request of any one or more of the Investment
Committee Members. Attendance of an Investment Committee Member at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where an Investment Committee Member attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

be consistent with the quorum requirements for the meetings of the Board. The Board, by Board Approval, may designate one or more Board Members as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any
meeting of the committee; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Board Member so designated as an alternate must serve as an alternate for a member of such committee that was designated by the same Member that designated the alternate.

 (b) In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from
voting, whether or not such members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member; provided that at least one committee member designated by each
Member is present and voting. 
 (c) Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board, and subject to, in all cases,
matters requiring Board Approval or Investment Committee Approval (other than those matters expressly delegated to such committee by the Board), shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business
and affairs of the Company. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same
to the Board when required.

without cause, at any time by the Member that elected, designated or appointed such Board Member, and any vacancy caused by any such removal or expulsion may be filled solely by action of such Member. 

Section 7.12. Board as Agent. To the extent of its powers set forth in this Agreement, the Board is the manager of the Company for the
purpose of the Company’s business, and the actions of the Board taken in accordance with such powers set forth in this Agreement shall bind the Company. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 18-402 of the Act, except as provided in
this Agreement or in a resolution of the Board, neither a Member nor a Board Member may bind the Company. 
 Section 7.13. Officers.

 (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Board shall have the power and authority to appoint such officers that the Board

PROVISION TO THE CONTRARY ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE EXTENT THAT, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, THE BOARD, A BOARD MEMBER, THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE, AN INVESTMENT COMMITTEE MEMBER, OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY OR ANY MEMBER HAS ANY DUTIES (FIDUCIARY OR
OTHERWISE) AND LIABILITIES RELATING THERETO TO THE COMPANY OR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE COMPANY, (A) THE BOARD, A BOARD MEMBER, THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE, AN INVESTMENT COMMITTEE MEMBER, OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY OR ANY MEMBER ACTING IN GOOD FAITH

BOARD, A BOARD MEMBER, THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE, AN INVESTMENT COMMITTEE MEMBER, OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY OR ANY MEMBER. 
 Section 7.16.
Reliance by Third Parties. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any contract, instrument or act on behalf of the Company by a Member, a Board Member, an officer or any other Person acting pursuant to Board Approval, shall be
conclusive evidence in favor of any third party dealing with the Company that such Person has the authority, power and right to execute and deliver such contract or instrument and to take such act on behalf of the Company. This Section 7.16
shall not be deemed to limit the liabilities and obligations of such Person to seek Board Approval as set forth in this Agreement. 

Section 7.17. Members’ Outside Transactions; Investment Opportunities; Time and Attention. 

(a) Board Members, Investment Committee Members and officers shall devote such time as he or she determines in his or her sole discretion is
necessary to diligently administer the activities and affairs of the Company, but shall not be obligated to spend full time or any specific portion of their time to the activities and affairs of the Company. 

(b) The investment adviser of CGMSF and its Affiliates may manage or administer other investment funds and other accounts with similar or
dissimilar mandates, and may be subject to the provisions of the Investment Company Act, including, without limitation, Section 57 thereof, and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations and interpretations thereof,
with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities among such other investment funds and other accounts (the “Allocation Requirements”). Except for any Allocation Requirement that may be applicable to the Company, a
Member shall not be 

  
 34 

 
obligated to offer any Investment opportunity, or portion thereof, to the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, and subject to Section 7.17(e), during the
Investment Period, CGMSF and its Affiliates that are controlled, managed or advised by CGMSIM agree to refer all investment opportunities that are Qualified Investments to the Company. 

(c) Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.17 and other provisions of this Agreement, each of the Members, Board Members, officers and
each of their respective Affiliates and their respective owners, principals, shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees and agents may engage in, invest in, participate in or otherwise enter into other business ventures of any kind,
nature and description, individually and with others, including, without limitation, the formation and management of other investment funds with or without the same or similar purposes as the Company, and the ownership of and investment in assets,
and neither the Company nor any other Member shall have any right in or to any such activities or the income or profits derived therefrom. In connection therewith, subject to the provisions of Section 7.17(e) and other provisions of this
Agreement, it is expressly agreed that in no event shall it be considered a violation of this Agreement (whether under Section 7.17(a) with respect to time devotion or under any other section herein with respect to investment allocations or
otherwise) for a Member or any of its Affiliates or their respective owners, principals, shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees and agents to continue to engage in such investments and transactions nor shall the provisions of this
Agreement in any way limit or prohibit any future investments or transactions by a Member or any of its Affiliates (or any of their investment managers or sponsors) or their respective owners, principals, shareholders, members, directors, officers,
employees and agents directly or with third parties or in any way constrain the ability of a Member or any of its Affiliates (or any of their investment managers or sponsors) or their respective owners, principals, shareholders, members, directors,
officers, employees and agents to manage and invest their assets.
 (d) For the avoidance of doubt, Credit Partners (or its Affiliates,
associated investment funds, portfolio companies or employees, as applicable) and their respective permitted transferees will have no duty (contractual or otherwise) to (1) communicate or present any Investment opportunities to the Company or (2)
refrain from pursuing, directly or indirectly, any Investment opportunities for itself, and directing any such opportunity to another Person; provided that Section 7.17(d)(2) shall not apply to, and Credit Partners and its Affiliates shall not
pursue or direct any Qualified Investment opportunity if such Qualified Investment opportunity was presented to the Investment Committee, unless (A) such Qualified Investment opportunity was first identified by or to Credit Partners or Affiliates of
Credit Partners independently of the personnel of CGMSF or CGMSIM (in which case Credit Partners shall notify the Investment Committee and CGMSF as soon as practicable), or (B) the Company fails to consummate such Qualified Investment opportunity
other than due to the action or inaction on the part of Credit Partners or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Credit Partners shall be permitted to direct or pursue Qualified Investment opportunities approved for the Company by the
Investment Committee with the prior approval of the Investment Committee. The Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates, hereby renounces and waives any right to require Credit Partners (or its Affiliates, associated
investment funds, portfolio companies or employees, as applicable) and their permitted transferees to act in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 7.17(d). For purposes of the foregoing, (x) any external investment managers

  
 35 

 
with discretion or authorization who manages debt investments on behalf of Credit Partners or its Affiliates and (y) any other investment team within Credit Parent or its Affiliates (other than
the U.S. private debt employees of Credit Parent’s Affiliates) will be excluded from the foregoing and any limitations contained therein, unless, in the case of (x) or (y), Credit Partners or any of its Affiliates acting on Credit Partners
behalf, shares any confidential information regarding the potential Investment opportunity with such investment team. 
 (e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.17 and other provisions of this Agreement, during the Investment Period, neither Carlyle Parent or its Affiliates may, without Credit Partners’ prior written consent, enter into the formation and
management of any investment fund, investment vehicle or account that is primarily engaged in and principally marketed as having an investment mandate that substantially overlaps with Qualified Investments until at least 75% of Capital Commitments
have been contributed to the Company. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.17 and other provisions of this
Agreement, the Members agree that the Company and one or more of the Members may co-invest in investment opportunities where appropriate, subject to the approval of the board of directors of CGMSF and in accordance to the terms of this
Agreement; provided that, to the extent that the demand from the Members and the Company is higher than the total Investment opportunity available to the Members and the Company, such Investment opportunity shall be allocated in a manner such that
the Company will not receive a smaller allocation than any Member participating in such investment unless approved by the Investment Committee. 

Section 7.18. Indemnification. 

(a) Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided in this Section 7.18, each Board Member and each Member and its employees, directors,
officers, owners, principals, shareholders, members, and partners who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, investigative or arbitrative or in the nature of an alternative dispute resolution in lieu of any of the foregoing (other than any of the foregoing between the two Members, hereinafter a “Proceeding”), or any appeal
in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that such Person, is or was a Board Member, an officer or representative or agent of the Company, a Member or an employee, director,
officer, owner, principal, shareholder, member, or partner of a Member, shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment,
only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment) against all liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation,
judgments, penalties (including, without limitation, excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), losses, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees)) actually
incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding, appeal, inquiry or investigation (each a “Harm”), unless such Harm shall have been primarily the result of gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct by the Person
seeking indemnification hereunder, in which case such indemnification shall not cover such Harm to the extent resulting from such gross 

  
 36 

 
negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct. Indemnification under this Section 7.18 shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such
Person to indemnity hereunder. The rights granted pursuant to this Section 7.18 shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.18 shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with
respect to actions taken or Proceedings, appeals, inquiries or investigations arising prior to any amendment, modification or repeal. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no individual entitled to indemnification under this shall be liable
to the Company or any Member for any act or omission performed or omitted by or on behalf of the Company; provided that such act or omission has not been fully adjudicated to constitute fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. In
addition, any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.18 may consult with legal counsel selected with reasonable care and shall incur no liability to the Company or any Member to the extent that such Person acted or refrained from
acting in good faith in reliance upon the opinion or advice of such counsel and such Person provided such counsel all material facts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not indemnify any Member or an employee, director, officer, owner,
principal, shareholder, member, or partner of a Member, in the event that the Proceeding involves a Member as the defendant and another Member as the respondent in such Proceeding. 

(b) The right to indemnification conferred in Section 7.18(a) shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company for the
reasonable expenses incurred by a Person entitled to be indemnified under Section 7.18(a) who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding and without any
determination as to the Person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by any such Person in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to
the Company of a written undertaking by such Person to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall be finally adjudicated that such indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 7.18 or otherwise; provided, further, that such
advancement of expenses by the Company shall not be made to such Person in the event that the Proceeding involves a Member as the defendant and another Member as the respondent in such Proceeding. 

(c) The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Section 7.18 shall not be exclusive of any other
right that a Member or other Person indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.18 may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), this Agreement, any contract of insurance or any other contract, arrangement or understanding. 

(d) The indemnification rights provided by this Section 7.18 shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors,
and assigns of each Person indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.18. 
 Section 7.19. Tax Matters Member.

(a) CGMSF shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Company within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code and shall
also the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the New Partnership Audit Procedures (collectively, in such capacity, the “Tax Matters Member”). The provisions of Section 7.18 shall apply
to all actions taken on behalf of the Members by the Tax Matters Member in its capacity as such. The Tax Matters Member shall have the right and obligation to take all actions authorized and required, respectively, by the Code for the tax
matters partner of the Company. 

  
 37 

 (b) The Tax Matters Member shall, at all times, keep all Members informed as to any discussions
with any taxing administration with respect to any material tax issue concerning the Company or its subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, the Tax Matters Member shall provide notice to the other
Members promptly (and in any event, no later than 30 days) after it receives notice from any taxing authority of any pending or threatened examination, adjustment or proceeding relating to any tax items of the Company or its subsidiaries. The
Tax Matters Member shall (i) consult with the other Members with respect to the conduct of such examination or proceedings, or any court proceedings with respect to tax, (ii) afford the other Members a reasonable opportunity to participate in any
such examination, proceeding or court proceeding and any meeting (whether in person, phone or otherwise) with any taxing authority or appearance in court, and (iii) afford the other Members a reasonable opportunity to review drafts of any submission
to any taxing authority or court, including requests for administrative adjustments. Without the approval of other Members, the Tax Matters Member shall not take any action with respect to the conduct of any examination or proceeding and shall not
make any submission to any taxing authority or court if any Member has objected to such action. The Tax Matters Member shall not extend the statute of limitations or file a tax claim in any court without the approval of the other Members.
Additionally, the Tax Matters Member shall not submit any request for administrative adjustment on behalf of the Company without the approval of the other Members. The Tax Matters Member agrees that it will not bind any Member to any tax settlement
without the approval of such Member. Further, for the sake of clarity, the Tax Matters Member will take no action that affects another Member without the approval of such Member. The Tax Matters Member shall not take any action without
Prior Board Approval. 
 (c) The Tax Matters Member shall have the right to retain professional assistance in respect of any audit of the
Company and all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses and fees incurred by the Tax Matters Member on behalf of the Company as Tax Matters Member shall be reimbursed by the Company.  

(d) Any election proposed to be made or action proposed to be taken by the Tax Matters Member pursuant to the New Partnership Audit Procedures
shall require the prior written consent of the other Members. 
 (e) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, wherever in this Agreement
the Tax Matters Member is empowered to make a decision or determination, take an action, consent, vote, or provide any approval, in doing so, the Tax Matters Member shall use its reasonable discretion, shall consult with all other Members and shall
take into account the concerns and tax objectives of such other Members.

 ARTICLE 8 

TRANSFERS OF COMPANY INTERESTS; WITHDRAWALS 

Section 8.1. Transfers by Members. 

(a) Within a period of five (5) years after the Initial Closing Date, other than with respect to the sale and transfer of the Membership
Interest of a Defaulting Member or a Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable, in accordance with Section 4.3, the Membership Interest of a Member may not be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of the other Member and may not be
pledged or otherwise hypothecated without the prior written consent of the other Member; provided, however, that CGMSF may pledge and/or assign its Membership Interest to the senior credit facility provider(s) for CGMSF with notice to the other
Member within a reasonable time thereafter. After the expiration of such five (5) year period, the Membership Interest of a Member may not be assigned without first offering the other Member a right of first refusal to purchase the Membership
Interest as set forth in Section 8.1(f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the other Member or the offering of such right of first refusal, any Member may assign its entire Membership Interest to a wholly owned
Affiliate of such Member, if the assignor remains liable for its Capital Commitment. No assignment by a Member shall be binding upon the Company until the Company receives an executed copy of such assignment, which shall be in form and
substance satisfactory to the other Member, and any assignment pursuant to this Section 8.1(a) shall be subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(e). 

(b) Any Person which acquires a Membership Interest by assignment in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be admitted as a
substitute Member only upon approval of the other Member. The admission of an assignee as a substitute Member shall be conditioned upon the assignee’s written assumption, in form and substance satisfactory to the other Member, of all
obligations of the assignor in respect of the assigned Membership Interest and execution of an instrument satisfactory to the other Member whereby such assignee becomes a party to this Agreement. 

(c) In the event any Member shall be adjudicated as bankrupt, or in the event of the winding up or liquidation of a Member, the legal
representative of such Member shall, upon written notice to the other Member of the happening of any of such events and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(e), become an assignee of such Member’s Membership Interest, subject
to all of the terms of this Agreement as then in effect. 
 (d) Any assignee of the Membership Interest of a Member, irrespective of whether
such assignee has accepted and adopted in writing the terms and provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed by the acceptance of such assignment to have agreed to be subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the same manner as its
assignor. 
 (e) As additional conditions to the validity of any assignment of a Member’s Membership Interest, such assignment shall
not: 

  
 39 

 (i) cause the securities issued by the Company to be required to be registered
under the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction; 

(ii) cause the Company to cease to be entitled to the exemption from the definition of an “investment company”
pursuant to Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; 
 (iii)
result in the Company being classified as a “publicly traded partnership” under the Code; 
 (iv) unless the other
Member waives in writing the application of this clause (iv) with respect to such assignment (which the other Member may refuse to do in its absolute discretion), be to a Person which is an ERISA Plan; 

(v) adversely impact CGMSF’s treatment of its investment in the Company for purposes of the Investment Company Act or for
financial reporting purposes; or 
 (vi) cause the Company or the other Member to be in violation of, or effect an assignment
to a Person that is in violation of, applicable Investor Laws. 
 The non-assigning Member may require reasonable evidence as to the
foregoing, including, without limitation, an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the non-assigning member. Any purported assignment as to which the conditions set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) are not satisfied shall
be void ab initio. An assigning Member shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by the Company, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses, in connection with any assignment or proposed assignment. 

(f) Except for assignments under the third sentence or the proviso of the first sentence of Section 8.1(a) or with respect to sales or
transfers pursuant to Section 4.3, each Member hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the other Member or its designee a right of first refusal to purchase all, but not less than all, of any Membership Interest in the Company that such
assigning Member may propose to assign to another Person, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those offered to the prospective assignee. Each Member proposing to make an assignment that is subject to this Section 8.1(f)
must deliver a notice to the other Member not later than sixty (60) days prior to the proposed closing date of such assignment. Such notice shall contain the material terms and conditions (including, without limitation, price and form of
consideration) of the proposed assignment and the identity of the prospective assignee. To exercise its right of first refusal under this Section 8.1(f), the other Member must deliver a notice to the selling Member within forty-five (45) days
of receipt of such notice, stating that it elects to exercise its right of first refusal and, if applicable, providing the identity of any Person that the non-assigning Member designates as the purchaser. 

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Member acknowledges and agrees that in the event such Member is entitled
to transfer its Membership Interest from the Company, prior to the effectiveness of such transfer, such Member shall be obligated to fund such Capital Contributions as may be required under the terms of the Facility as a result of such transfer;
provided, that in no event shall any amounts funded by such Member exceed its uncalled Capital Commitment. 

  
 40 

 Section 8.2. Withdrawal by Members. 

Members may withdraw from the Company only as provided by this Agreement. 

(a) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, if a Member shall obtain an opinion of counsel to the effect that, as a
result of the other Member’s ownership of a Membership Interest in the Company, the Company would be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, such other Member shall, upon written notice from such first
Member, withdraw from or reduce (in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2(c) below) its Membership Interest in the Company (including its Capital Commitment) to the extent such first Member has determined, based upon such opinion of counsel,
to be necessary in order for the Company not to be required to so register. Each Member shall, upon written request from the other Member, promptly furnish to the other Member such information as the other Member may reasonably request from
time to time in order to make a determination pursuant to this Section 8.2(a), but in no event later than ten (10) business days after such request. 

(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if a Member shall violate the United States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States Money
Laundering Act of 1986, the United States International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti- Terrorist Financing Act of 2001, the USA Patriot Act or any other law or regulation to which the Company, a Member, or such Member’s investment in the
Company may be subject from time to time (collectively, “Investor Laws”), or if the other Member shall obtain an opinion of counsel to the effect that any contribution or payment by a Member to the Company would cause the Company or
the other Member to be in violation of, or to the effect that such Member is in violation of, any of the Investor Laws, such Member shall, upon written notice from the other Member, withdraw from the Company in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.2(c) below. Each Member shall, upon written request from the other Member, promptly furnish to the other Member such information as the other Member may reasonably request from time to time in order to make a determination pursuant to
this Section 8.2(b), but in no event later than ten (10) business days after such request. 
 (c) If a Member partially withdraws its
Membership Interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 8.2, it shall receive, in full payment for such withdrawn Membership Interest from first cash and cash equivalents available for distribution pursuant to Article 6 (and subject to the
proviso in Section 6.1(b) if then applicable to such Member as the obligor with respect to an outstanding Default Loan), the sum of the portion of the Capital Account attributable to such withdrawn Membership Interest (adjusted to reflect the Value
of the Company as determined as of the date of the last valuation pursuant to Section 10.5 and taking into account all Capital Contributions contributed by such Member to the Company with respect to a Subscription Facility pursuant to Section
8.2(d)). If a Member withdraws its entire Membership Interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 8.2, then, subject to Section 9.2(b), the Company shall dissolve as provided by Article 9. 

  
 41 

 (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Member acknowledges and
agrees that in the event such Member is entitled to withdraw its Membership Interest from the Company, prior to the effectiveness of such withdrawal, such Member shall be obligated to fund such Capital Contributions as may be required under the
terms of a Subscription Facility as a result of such withdrawal (taking into account all Capital Contributions already contributed by such Member to the Company with respect to the Subscription Facility); provided, that in no event shall any amounts
funded by such Member exceed its uncalled Capital Commitment. 
 ARTICLE 9

 Section 9.3. Wind-down. 

(a) Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Company shall be liquidated in accordance with this Article and the Act. The liquidation
shall be conducted and supervised by the Board in the same manner provided by Article 7 with respect to the operation of the Company during its term; provided that in the case of a dissolution and winding up of the Company pursuant to Section
9.2(a)(iii) to Section 9.2(a)(vi), the Member that elects such dissolution and winding up may elect further (subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement), by written notice to the other Member, to exercise as liquidating agent all of the
rights, powers and authority with respect to the assets and liabilities of the Company in connection with the liquidation of the Company, to the same extent as the Members would have during the term of the Company. 

(b) From and after the date on which an event set forth in Section 9.2(a) becomes effective, the Company shall cease to make Investments after
that date, except for Investments permitted pursuant to clauses (ii) through (vi) of Valid Company Purposes. Capital calls against the Capital Commitment of the Members shall cease from and after such effective date; provided that capital calls
against the Capital Commitment of the Members may continue to fund all items in clauses (ii) through (vi) of Valid Company Purposes. Subject to the foregoing, the Members shall continue to bear an allocable share of Expenses and other
obligations of the Company until all Investments in which the Company participates (including through any applicable Financing Subsidiaries) are repaid or otherwise disposed of in the normal course of the Company’s activities. 

(c) Distributions to the Members during the winding down of the Company shall be made no less frequently than quarterly to the extent
consisting of a Member’s allocable share of cash and cash equivalents, after taking into account reasonable reserves deemed appropriate by Board Approval (or in the event of a dissolution and winding up of the Company pursuant to Section
9.2(a)(iii) to Section 9.2(a)(vi), by a Member that has elected to act as liquidating agent pursuant to Section 9.3(a)), to fund Investments in which the Company continues to participate, Expenses and all other obligations (including without
limitation contingent obligations) of the Company (each as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph). Unless waived by Board Approval, the Company also shall withhold ten percent (10%) of distributions in any calendar year, which
withheld amount shall be distributed within sixty (60) days after the completion of the annual audit covering such year. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Member shall remain a member of the Company until all Investments in which the
Company participates are repaid or otherwise disposed of, all equity interests of the Company in each Financing Subsidiary are redeemed or such Financing Subsidiary is dissolved, the Member’s allocable share of all Expenses and all other
obligations (including without limitation contingent obligations) of the Company are paid, and all distributions are made hereunder, at which time the Member shall have no further rights under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
case of the dissolution and winding up of the Company, and subject to this Section 9.3, distributions may be made in-kind, or a combination of cash and assets (including any debt or equity held by the Company in any Financing Subsidiary), as the
Board or liquidating agent may select in its sole and absolute discretion provided that any distribution-in-kind shall not cause a breach by the Company or any Financing Subsidiary of any applicable law or contract. In the event of any
distributions in-kind, the assets to be distributed will be valued at fair value. 
 (d) Upon dissolution of the Company, final allocations
of all items of Company Profit and Loss shall be made in accordance with Section 5.2. Upon dissolution of the Company, the assets of the Company shall be applied in the following order of priority: 

  
 44 

 (i) To creditors (other than Members) in satisfaction of liabilities of the
Company (whether by payment or by the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof), including, without limitation, to establish any reasonable reserves which the Board may, in its reasonable judgment, deem necessary or advisable for any
contingent, conditional or unmatured liability of the Company and to establish any reasonable reserves with respect to amounts the Company may pay or contribute in connection with Financing Subsidiaries; 

(ii) To establish any reserves which the Board may, in its reasonable judgment, deem necessary or advisable for any contingent,
conditional or unmatured liability of the Company to Members; and 
 (iii) The balance, if any, to the Members in accordance
with Section 6.1(b). 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an event described in any of Section 9.2(a)(iii) to Section
9.2(a)(vi), the Member that may elect a dissolution and winding up may elect alternatively, by written notice to the other Member, to purchase all of the other Member’s Membership Interest in the Company. Other than in connection with a
sale or transfer of the Membership Interest of a Defaulting Member or a Pledge Defaulting Member, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4.3, the purchase price for such Membership Interest shall be payable in cash within ninety (90) days after the
election to purchase is delivered to the other Member, and shall be equal to the Capital Account of the other Member adjusted to reflect the Value of the Company as determined as of the date of the last valuation pursuant to Section 10.5;
provided, however, that to the extent any amounts are owed by the other Member to a Non-Defaulting Member or a Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, with respect to a Default Loan, any purchase price that would otherwise be payable to such
other Member under this section shall instead first be paid to the Non-Defaulting Member or the Pledge Non-Defaulting Member, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of Section 4.3(b)(iii) hereof, until each such Default Loan (and any interest thereon)
has been repaid in full with the remainder thereof, if any, payable to such other Member. After such purchase, the other Member shall no longer be a member of the Company, and the Member that has elected to purchase the other Member’s
Membership Interest may dissolve or continue the Company as it may determine. 
 (f) In the event that an audit or reconciliation relating to
the fiscal year in which a Member receives a distribution under this Section 9.3 reveals that such Member received a distribution in excess of that to which such Member was entitled, the Company or the other Member may, in its discretion, seek
repayment of such distribution to the extent that such distribution exceeded what was due to such Member. 
 (g) Each Member shall be
furnished with a statement prepared by the Company’s accountant, which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as at the date of complete liquidation, and each Member’s share thereof. Upon compliance with the
distribution plan set forth in this Section 9.3, the Members shall cease to be such, and either Member may execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed a certificate of cancellation of the Company.

and shall determine a valuation of such asset(s) consistent with the valuation as of such date by the approved valuation expert, and such valuation shall be final. For this purpose, a valuation of an asset as of such date shall be considered
consistent with a valuation of an approved valuation expert if it is equal to the recommended value or within the recommended range of values determined by the approved valuation expert as of such date. An approved valuation expert shall mean
an independent valuation consultant that has been approved by Board Approval. The Members acknowledge and agree that in the event a Member objects to the valuation of an Investment, the preparation and delivery of the Company’s financial
statements and other data could be delayed until the resolution of such objection.

Form of Subordinated Loans 
  

			
	$[•]	  	[•]

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Middle Market Credit Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
“Company”), does hereby promise to pay to [INSERT NAME OF MEMBER], a [INSERT TYPE OF ENTITY] (the “Payee”), or its order, at its offices in New York, New York, or such other address as may be duly designated by the
holder of this Note, [•] ($[•]), or if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances made by the Payee to the undersigned hereunder, with interest thereon as set forth herein. The initial advance, all subsequent advances
and all payments made on account of principal shall be endorsed by the holder on the attached schedule to this Note. The principal amount of the loan together with any interest thereon shall be payable on the Maturity Date (as defined below).

 “Business Day” means a day upon which banks in New York City are not authorized or required by law to be closed. 

1. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Limited Liability
Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”), dated as of February 29, 2016, as amended from time to time. 
 2. The Payee agrees
that from time to time during the term of this Note it shall lend to the Company, subject to the terms of the LLC Agreement and the terms of this Note, sums which, in the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time, shall not exceed
$             (the “Credit”), and the Company agrees to borrow said sum from Payee upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

3. The Credit shall be a revolving credit and the Company may, subject to the provisions of paragraphs 5 and 6 below governing prepayments and
repayments and the terms of the LLC Agreement, request advances, repay and reborrow amounts during the continuation of this Note, subject to the terms of this Note and the LLC Agreement. Each revolving credit loan hereunder (an
“Advance”) shall have a scheduled maturity date of [•], [•], unless an earlier date is listed on the Schedule attached hereto (such date, the “Maturity Date”) and made a part hereof (the
“Schedule”). No Advance shall be made on or after [•], [•]. All Advances shall be noted on the Schedule. Payee shall, and is hereby authorized by the Company to, endorse on the Schedule, or on a continuation
of such Schedule attached hereto and made a part thereof and hereof, appropriate notations regarding the Advances; provided, however, that the failure to make, or error in making, any such notation shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations
of the Company hereunder. 
 4. Interest due on this Note shall be 0.001% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual
number of days elapsed prior to the Maturity Date and shall be compounded monthly.

  
 D-1 

 5. This Note evidences loan made to the Company by Payee and shall be treated as a Capital
Contribution for purposes of Article 4 of the LLC Agreement and Member Loan. This Note may be prepaid at any time by the Company in whole or in part at the election of the Company, in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof
plus accrued interest, subject to the provisions of paragraph 6. 
 6. (a) Payee, for itself and its successors and assigns, covenants and
agrees that the obligation of the Company to make any payment on account of the principal of and interest on any Advance shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Company’s obligations to the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

 (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any Senior Indebtedness beyond any applicable grace period, or in the event that any event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred and be continuing, or would occur as a result of the payment referred to
hereinafter, permitting the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of the holders thereof) to accelerate the maturity thereof, then, unless and until such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have
ceased to exist, no payment of principal of or interest on the Advances shall be made by the Company. 
 (c) Subject to the
provisions of this paragraph 6, nothing contained in this paragraph 6 is intended to or shall impair, as between Payee and the Company, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to Payee the principal of and interest
on the Advances when, where and as the same shall become due and payable, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of Payee and creditors of the Company other than the holders of
Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent Payee from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Agreement, subject to the rights, if any, under this paragraph 6 of the holders of
Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy. 

(d) No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at
any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants
of this Agreement, regardless of any knowledge thereof with which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged. The holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, change the manner, place
or terms of payment, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, any such Senior Indebtedness, or amend or supplement any instrument pursuant to which any such Senior Indebtedness is issued or by which it may be secured, or release
any security therefor, or exercise or refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, all without notice to or assent from Payee and without affecting
the obligations of the Company or Payee under this paragraph 6. 

  
 D-2 

 (e) Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, Payee shall be
subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Company applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until the Advances shall be paid in full, and none of the payments or
distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to which Payee would be entitled except for the provisions of this paragraph 6 or of payments over, pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph 6, to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
by Payee shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, and Payee, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness; it being understood that the provisions of
this paragraph 6 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Payee, on one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. 

(f) “Senior Indebtedness” means any and all indebtedness or liabilities of the Company other than the Advances
and indebtedness and liabilities of the Company that are expressly of equal priority to the Advances.
 7. The Payee hereby authorizes the
Company to make any and all distributions that would otherwise be payable by the Company pursuant to Articles 6 of the LLC Agreement directly to the Payee and any other Members that have made Member Loans to the Company (to be split among them
pro rata in accordance with the relative amounts of such Member Loans to the Company) until such time as the obligations evidenced by this Note have been paid in full. 

8. If the Company fails to repay this Note on the Maturity Date, the Company shall reimburse the holder of this Note for all of its costs and
expenses incurred in enforcing this Note, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. The obligations of the Company hereunder shall be recourse only to the Company’s Interest in the Company. 

9. This Note may be discharged, terminated, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against which enforcement of such discharge, termination or modification is sought. 
 10. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Company hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest and demand, notice of protest, dishonor and nonpayment of this Note and expressly agrees that, without in any way affecting the liability of the Company hereunder, the holder hereof may extend
the time for payment of any amount due hereunder, accept additional security, release any party liable hereunder or any security now or hereafter securing this Note, without in any other way affecting the liability and obligation of the Company or
any other person. 
 11. No failure by the holder hereof to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right,
power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof will constitute a waiver of any such term or of any such breach. No waiver of any breach will affect or alter this Note, which will continue in full force and effect, nor will such waiver affect
or alter the rights of the holder hereof with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach. The acceptance by the holder hereof of any payment hereunder that is less than payment in full of all amounts due at the time of such payment
will not, without the express written consent of the holder hereof: (i) constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any of such holder’s remedies at that time or at any subsequent time, (ii) constitute an accord and
satisfaction, or (iii) nullify any prior exercise of any remedy. 

  
 D-3 

 12. No acceptance of a past due payment or indulgences granted from time to time may be construed
(i) as a novation of this Note or as a reinstatement of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of the holder hereof thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note, or
(ii) to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by law. 
 13. In case any one or
more of the provisions of this Note are determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 14. Nothing contained in this Note or elsewhere may be deemed or construed to create a partnership or joint venture between the holder
hereof and the Company or between the holder hereof and any other person, or cause the holder hereof to be responsible in any way for the debts or obligations of the Company or any other person. 

15. It is hereby expressly agreed that, if from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision of this Note, at the time performance
of such provision will be due, violate any applicable usury statute or any other law, then ipso facto such provision will be conformed to comply with such statute or law. In no event shall the Company be bound to pay for the use, forbearance or
detention of the money lent pursuant hereto, interest of more than the current legal limit; the right to demand any such excess being hereby expressly waived by the holder hereof. 

16. THIS NOTE IS MADE UNDER AND IS TO BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
REGARD TO ITS CHOICE-OF-LAW RULES. 
 17. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Note may be brought in any state or federal
court located in the State of New York. By execution and delivery hereof, the Company hereby accepts for itself and in respect of property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Nothing herein, however,
shall affect the right of the holder hereof to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Company in any other jurisdiction. 

18. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING, THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY, AND THE COMPANY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS. SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE MADE BY THE PAYEE ON THE COMPANY BY MAILING A COPY OF THE SUMMONS AND ANY COMPLAINT TO THE MAKER, BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT
REQUESTED, AT [•]

 Exhibit H 

SEC Disclosure 
 On
February 29, 2016, we agreed to co-invest with Credit Partners USA LLC (“Credit Partners”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of a Canadian pension fund, through Middle Market Credit Fund, LLC (the “MMCF”), an unconsolidated Delaware
limited liability company. The purpose of MMCF is to invest primarily in first lien loans to middle-market companies. MMCF is managed by a six-member board of managers, on which we and Credit Partners each have equal representation. Investment
decisions must be unanimously approved by a quorum of the investment committee, which is comprised of persons appointed equally by us and Credit Partners. Establishing a quorum for MMCF’s board of managers requires at least four members to be
present at a meeting, including at least two of our representatives and two of Credit Partners’ representatives. We and Credit Partners each have 50% economic ownership of MMCF and have subscribed to fund from time to time capital of MMCF of
$400 million, subject in each case to the prior approval of MMCF’s board of managers.
