COOPER RIVER LLC

as Company 
 and

 FS INVESTMENT CORPORATION II 
 as Investment Manager 
 INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT 

Dated as of March 27, 2013 
  

 

 INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of March 27, 2013 (this
“Agreement”), between COOPER RIVER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and FS INVESTMENT CORPORATION II, a Maryland corporation (in such capacity, the “Investment Manager”).

 WHEREAS, the Company desires to engage the Investment Manager to provide the services described herein, and the Investment
Manager desires to provide such services; and 
 WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein
shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement dated as of March 27, 2013, as amended from time to time (together with any agreements referred to therein, the “Loan Agreement”), among the Company, the
financial institutions and other lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the
“Administrative Agent”). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Management Services. 

 The
Investment Manager will provide the Company with the following services (in accordance with and subject to the applicable requirements of, and the restrictions and limitations set forth in, the Loan Agreement and the Company’s limited liability
company agreement (the “LLC Agreement”)): 
 (a) determining the specific Debt Obligations or other
assets to be purchased, otherwise acquired or sold by the Company, taking into consideration the payment obligations of the Company on each Payment Date under the Loan Agreement, such that expected distributions on the Debt Obligations and other
assets of the Company permit a timely performance of the payment obligations by the Company under the Loan Agreement; provided that the Investment Manager does not hereby guarantee the timely performance of such payment obligations;

 (b) effecting the purchase, other acquisition and sale of Debt Obligations and all other assets of the
Company; 
 (c) subject to the limitations set forth in the Loan Agreement, negotiating with underlying obligors
of the Debt Obligations (the “Underlying Obligors”) as to proposed amendments and modifications (including, but not limited to, extensions or releases of collateral) of the documentation evidencing and governing the Debt
Obligations; 
 (d) making determinations with respect to the Company’s exercise (including but not limited
to any waiver) of any rights (including but not limited to voting rights and rights arising in connection with the bankruptcy or insolvency of an Underlying Obligor or the consensual or non-judicial restructuring of the debt or equity of an
Underlying Obligor) or remedies in connection with the Debt Obligations and participating in the committees (official or otherwise) or other groups formed by creditors of an Underlying Obligor; 

 (e) monitoring the ratings of the Debt Obligations; 

(f) monitoring the Debt Obligations on an ongoing basis and providing to the Agent and the Company or to any other Person
designated by the Company all information and data which is generated by, or reasonably accessible to, the Investment Manager and which is required under the Loan Agreement or requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of all
reports, certificates, schedules and other data which the Company is required to prepare and deliver under the Loan Agreement, in the form and containing all information required by the Loan Agreement, in sufficient time for the Company, or the
Person designated by the Company, to review such data and prepare and deliver to the parties entitled thereto all such reports, certificates, schedules and other data required by the Loan Agreement; 

(g) determining whether any investment meets the Obligation Criteria and Portfolio Criteria; 

(h) determining whether any investment is a Specified Debt Obligation or Unquoted Debt Obligation; 

(i) determining whether any payment will be made, and the amount thereof, pursuant to Section 3.8 of the Loan
Agreement; 
 (j) managing the Company’s investments within the parameters set forth in the Loan Agreement;

 (k) complying with such other duties and responsibilities as may be expressly required of the Investment
Manager by the Loan Agreement; 
 (l) notifying the Administrative Agent and the Company in writing within one
(1) Business Day of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement to the extent the Investment Manager has actual knowledge of the occurrence thereof; and 
 (m) delivering notices of borrowing and payment instructions to the Administrative Agent. 
 The Company agrees for the benefit of the Investment Manager and the Administrative Agent to follow the lawful instructions and directions of the Investment Manager in connection with the Investment
Manager’s services hereunder. 
 The Investment Manager shall use reasonable care in rendering its services hereunder,
using a degree of skill and attention no less than that which the Investment Manager exercises with respect to comparable assets that it manages for itself and for others in accordance with its existing practices and procedures which the Investment
Manager reasonably believes to be consistent with those followed by institutional managers of national standing relating to assets of the nature and character of Debt Obligations, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement or the Loan
Agreement. The Investment Manager shall comply with and perform all the duties and functions that have been specifically delegated to it under this Agreement and the Loan Agreement. The Investment Manager shall not be bound to follow any amendment
to the 

  
 2 

 
Loan Agreement, however, until it has received a copy of the amendment from the Company or the Administrative Agent and, in addition, the Investment Manager shall not be bound by any amendment to
the Loan Agreement which adversely affects in any material respects the obligations of the Investment Manager unless the Investment Manager shall have consented thereto in writing. The Company agrees that it will not permit any amendment to the Loan
Agreement that adversely affects the duties or liabilities of the Investment Manager to become effective unless the Investment Manager has been given prior written notice of such amendment and consented thereto in writing. 

To the extent necessary or appropriate to perform all of the duties to be performed by it hereunder, the Investment Manager shall have
the power to negotiate, execute and deliver all necessary documents and instruments on behalf of the Company with respect to any Debt Obligation or other asset of the Company and with respect to the rights and obligations of the Company under the
Loan Agreement. 
 The Investment Manager shall have no obligation to perform any duties other than those specified herein or in
the Loan Agreement. 
  

	 	2.	Brokerage. 

 The
Investment Manager shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the best prices and execution for all orders placed with respect to the Debt Obligations, and other assets of the Company, considering all circumstances. Subject to the objective of obtaining
best prices and execution, the Investment Manager may take into consideration research and other brokerage services furnished to the Investment Manager or its Affiliates by brokers and dealers which are not Affiliates of the Investment Manager. Such
services may be used by the Investment Manager or its Affiliates in connection with its other advisory activities or investment operations. The Investment Manager may aggregate sales and purchase orders of securities placed with respect to the Debt
Obligations, and other assets of the Company, with similar orders being made simultaneously for other accounts managed by the Investment Manager or with accounts of the Affiliates of the Investment Manager, if in the Investment Manager’s sole
judgment such aggregation shall result in an overall economic benefit to the Company taking into consideration the selling or purchase price, brokerage commission and other expenses. In accounting for such aggregated order price, commission and
other expenses shall be averaged on a per position basis. 
 The Company acknowledges that the determination of any such
economic benefit by the Investment Manager is subjective and represents the Investment Manager’s evaluation at the time that the Company will be benefited by better purchase or sales prices, lower commission expenses and beneficial timing of
transactions or a combination of these and other factors. When any aggregate sales or purchase orders occur, the objective of the Investment Manager (and any of its Affiliates involved in such transactions) shall be to allocate the executions among
the accounts in an equitable manner. 
 Subject to the Investment Manager’s execution obligations described herein, the
Investment Manager is hereby authorized to effect client cross-transactions where the Investment Manager causes a transaction to be effected between the Company and another account advised by it or any of its Affiliates; provided that, if and to the
extent required by the Investment 

  
 3 

 
Advisers Act, such authorization is terminable at the Company’s option without penalty, effective upon receipt by the Investment Manager of written notice from the Company. In addition, the
Company hereby consents to, and authorizes the Investment Manager to enter into, agency cross-transactions where it or any of its Affiliates acts as broker for the Company and for the other party to the transaction, to the extent permitted under
applicable law; provided that the Company shall have the right to revoke such consent at any time by written notice to the Investment Manager. 
  

	 	3.	The Representations and Warranties of the Company. 

 The Company represents and warrants to the Investment Manager that: 

(a) the Company has been duly organized and is validly existing under the laws of Delaware, has the full power and
authority to own its assets and the obligations proposed to be owned by it and to transact the business in which it is presently engaged and is duly qualified under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of property or the

administrative or governmental agency, body or authority or arbitrator having or asserting jurisdiction over the Investment Manager or its properties, and which would have, in the case of any of clauses (ii) through (iv) of this paragraph
(e), a material adverse effect upon the performance by the Investment Manager of its duties under this Agreement or the provisions of the Loan Agreement applicable to the Investment Manager; and 

(f) no consent, approval, authorization or order of or declaration or filing with any government, governmental
instrumentality or court or other person is required for the performance by it of its duties hereunder, except such as have been duly made or obtained. 
  

	 	5.	Expenses. 

 The Investment
Manager shall pay all expenses and costs (including salaries, rent and other overhead) incurred by it in connection with its services under this Agreement; provided that the Investment Manager shall not be liable for and the Company shall be
responsible for the payment of (i) expenses and costs of legal advisers (including reasonable expenses and costs associated with the use of internal legal counsel of the Investment Manager), consultants and other professionals retained by the
Company or by the Investment Manager, on behalf of the Company, in connection with the services provided by the Investment Manager pursuant to this Agreement and the Loan Agreement, (ii) the reasonable cost of asset pricing and asset rating

  
 6 

 
services, and accounting, programming and data entry services that are retained in connection with services of the Investment Manager under this Agreement, (iii) travel expenses (airfare,
meals, lodging and other transportation) incurred by the Investment Manager as is reasonably necessary in connection with the selection of Debt Obligations and the negotiation, documentation, default or restructuring of any Debt Obligation, and
(iv) any extraordinary costs and expenses incurred by the Investment Manager in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Agreement. To the extent that such expenses are incurred in connection with obligations that
are also held by the Investment Manager, the Investment Manager shall allocate the expenses among the accounts in a fair and equitable manner. Any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5 shall be reimbursed by the Company to the extent funds
are available therefor. 
  

	 	6.	Fees. 

(a) The Company shall pay to the Investment Manager, for services rendered and performance of its obligations under this
Agreement fees which are payable in arrears on each Payment Date (subject to availability of funds and the conditions set forth in Section 3.8(b)(i)(A) of the Loan Agreement) in an amount equal to 0.35% per annum of the aggregate Par
Amount of all Debt Obligations measured as of the Quarterly Date immediately preceding such Payment Date (the “Senior Management Fee”). The Senior Management Fee will be calculated on the basis of a calendar year consisting of 360
days and the actual number of days elapsed. 
 (b) The Company shall pay to the Investment Manager, for services
rendered and performance of its obligations under this Agreement, fees which are payable in arrears on each Payment Date (subject to availability of funds and the conditions set forth in Section 3.8(b)(i)(C) of the Loan Agreement) in an amount
equal to 0.15% per annum of the aggregate Par Amount of all Debt Obligations measured as of the Quarterly Date immediately preceding such Payment Date (the “Subordinate Management Fee” and together with the Senior Management
Fee, the “Management Fees”). The Subordinate Management Fee will be calculated on the basis of a calendar year consisting of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. 

(c) The Investment Manager may, in its sole discretion, (i) waive all or any portion of the Management Fees or
(ii) defer all or any portion of the Management Fees. Such deferred amounts will become payable on the next Payment Date in the same manner and priority as their original characterization would have required unless deferred again. 

(d) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11 hereof or otherwise, the Management Fees calculated as
provided in Section 6(a) and 6(b) hereof shall be prorated for any partial periods between Payment Dates during which this Agreement was in effect and shall be due and payable, along with any deferred Management Fees, on the first Payment Date
following the effective date of such termination. 
 (e) The Management Fees will be payable from the
Company’s assets in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. If on any Payment Date there are 

  
 7 

 
insufficient funds to pay the Management Fees then due in full, the amount not so paid shall be deferred without interest and shall be payable on the next Payment Date if any on which any funds
are available therefor, as provided in the Loan Agreement. 
  

	 	7.	Non-Exclusivity. 

 The
services of the Investment Manager to the Company are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Investment Manager shall be free to render asset management or management services to other Persons (including Affiliates, other investment companies, and
clients having objectives similar to those of the Company). It is understood and agreed that the officers and directors of the Investment Manager may engage in any other business activity or render services to any other Person or serve as partners,
officers or directors of any other firm or corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Investment Manager will at no time render any services to, or in any way participate in the organization or operation of, any
investment company or other entity if such actions would require the Company to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. Subject to Section 9 hereof, it is understood and agreed that information or advice
received by the Investment Manager and officers or directors of the Investment Manager hereunder shall be used by such organization or such persons to the extent permitted by applicable law. 

 

	 	8.	Conflicts of Interest. 

The Investment Manager may, subject to applicable legal requirements, direct the Company (i) to acquire (whether by purchase,
contribution or otherwise) any Debt Obligations for the Company from the Investment Manager or any of its Affiliates as principal or (ii) to sell or distribute any Debt Obligations for the Company to the Investment Manager or any of its
Affiliates as principal. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, various potential and actual conflicts of
interest may arise from the overall investment activity of the Investment Manager and its Affiliates. The Investment Manager, its Affiliates and their respective clients may invest in obligations that would be appropriate for inclusion in the
Company’s assets. Such investments may be different from those made on behalf of the Company. The Investment Manager and its Affiliates may have ongoing relationships with Underlying Obligors and may own equity or debt obligations issued by
Underlying Obligors. The Investment Manager and its Affiliates and the clients of the Investment Manager or its Affiliates may invest in obligations that are senior to, or have interests different from or adverse to, the Debt Obligations of the
Company. The Investment Manager may serve as Investment Manager for, invest in, or be affiliated with, other entities organized to issue collateralized debt obligations secured by loans, high-yield debt securities, or other debt obligations. The
Investment Manager may at certain times be simultaneously seeking to purchase or sell investments for other entities for which it serves as Investment Manager, or for its clients and Affiliates, and selecting such investments as Debt Obligations for
the Company. Furthermore, the Investment Manager and/or its Affiliates may make an investment on their behalf or on behalf of any account that they manage or advise without offering the investment opportunity to the Company or making an investment
on behalf of the Company. 

  
 8 

 The Company hereby acknowledges the various potential and actual conflicts of interest that
may exist with respect to the Investment Manager; provided that nothing in this Section 8 shall be construed as altering the duties of the Investment Manager as set forth in this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or the requirements of any
law, rule, or regulation applicable to the Investment Manager. 
  

	 	9.	Records; Confidentiality. 

The Investment Manager shall maintain appropriate books of account and records relating to services performed hereunder, and such books of
account and records shall be accessible for inspection by a representative of the Company, the Administrative Agent, and independent accountants appointed by the Company at a mutually agreed time during normal business hours and upon not less than
three (3) Business Days’ prior notice. 
 At no time will the Investment Manager make a public announcement concerning
the Loan Agreement, the Investment Manager’s role hereunder or any other aspect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Loan Agreement absent the written consent of the Company. 

The Investment Manager shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep confidential any and all information obtained in connection with
the services rendered hereunder and shall not disclose any such information to non-affiliated third parties except (i) with the prior written consent of the Company, (ii) as required by law, regulation, court order or the rules or
regulations of any self regulating organization, body or official having jurisdiction over the Investment Manager, (iii) to its professional advisers, (iv) such information as shall have been publicly disclosed other than in violation of
this Agreement, (v) the identification of the Company as a client of the Investment Manager, (vi) information related to the performance of the Investment Manager, (vii) information furnished in connection with any successor
investment manager or assignee, or any agent that has been assigned duties in accordance with this Agreement, or (viii) such information that was or is obtained by the Investment Manager on a non-confidential basis; provided that the
Investment Manager does not know or have reason to know, after due inquiry, of any breach by such source of any confidentiality obligations with respect thereto. For purposes of this Section 9, the Administrative Agent shall in no event be
considered a “non-affiliated third party,” and the Investment Manager may disclose any of the aforementioned information to the Administrative Agent insofar as such information relates to the Company’s performance of its obligations
under the Loan Agreement. 
  

	 	10.	Term. 

 This Agreement
shall become effective on the date hereof and shall continue unless terminated as hereinafter provided. 
  

	 	11.	Termination.

the consent of the Administrative Agent; provided that such notice may be waived by the Investment Manager. For this purpose, “cause” will mean the occurrence of any of the following events or circumstances: 

(i) the Investment Manager’s breach, in any respect, of any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Agreement
applicable to it (except for any breach that has not had, and could not reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the Company or the Administrative Agent) and the Investment Manager’s failure to cure such breach within 30
days of its becoming aware of, or receiving notice of, the occurrence of such breach; 

  
 9

 (iii) the failure
of any representation, warranty, certification or statement made or delivered by the Investment Manager in or pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan Agreement to be correct in any material respect when made, which failure (a) could reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Administrative Agent and (b) is not corrected by the Investment Manager within 30 days of its receipt of notice from the Company or the Administrative Agent of such failure, unless, if such
failure is not capable of being cured in 30 days but is curable within 90 days, the Investment Manager has taken action that the Investment Manager in good faith believes will remedy, and does in fact remedy, such failure within 90 days after notice
of such failure being given to the Investment Manager; 
 (iv) the Investment Manager (1) is dissolved
(other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger), (2) files, or consents by answer or otherwise to the filing against it of, a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy, for
liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar law of any jurisdiction, (3) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to
pay its debts as they become due, (4) makes a general assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors, (5) consents to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers
with respect to it or with respect to any substantial part of its property or (6) is adjudicated as insolvent or bankrupt, or a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Investment Manager,
or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, or sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Investment Manager or of any substantial part of its property, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of
60 consecutive days; 

  
 10 

 (v) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement that
results from any breach by the Investment Manager of its duties under the Loan Agreement or this Agreement; or 

(vi) the occurrence of an act by the Investment Manager that constitutes fraud or criminal activity in the performance of
its obligations under this Agreement, or the Investment Manager being indicted for a criminal offense materially related to its business of providing asset management services. 

If any such event occurs, the Investment Manager shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Company and the
Administrative Agent promptly upon the Investment Manager becoming aware of the occurrence of such event. 
 (b)
The Investment Manager shall have the right to terminate this Agreement only upon 90 days prior written notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent, and this Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment by the
Investment Manager which is not made in accordance with Sections 13 and 17 of this Agreement. 
 (c) This
Agreement shall be automatically terminated in the event that the Company determines in good faith that the Company or the Company’s asset portfolio has become required to be registered under the provisions of the Investment Company Act.

 (d) Within 30 days of the resignation or removal of the Investment Manager, the Company may appoint a
successor investment manager; provided that such appointment is subject to the prior approval of the Administrative Agent. 
  

	 	12.	Action Upon Termination. 

 (a) Upon the effective termination of this Agreement, the Investment Manager shall as soon as practicable: 
 (i) deliver to the Company all property and documents of the Company or otherwise relating to the Company’s assets then in the custody of the Investment Manager; and 

(ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent an account with respect to the books and records delivered to the Administrative
Agent or the successor investment manager appointed pursuant to Section 11(d). 
 Notwithstanding such
termination, the Investment Manager shall remain liable to the extent set forth herein (but subject to Section 13 hereof) for its acts or omissions hereunder arising prior to termination and for any expenses, losses, damages, liabilities,
demands, charges and claims (including reasonable attorney’s fees) in respect of or arising out of a breach of the representations and warranties made by the Investment Manager in Section 4 hereof or from any failure of the Investment
Manager to comply with the provisions of this Section 12. 

  
 11 

 (b) The Investment Manager agrees that, notwithstanding any termination, it
shall reasonably cooperate in any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement (each, a “Proceeding”) arising in connection with this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any of the Company’s assets (excluding any such
Proceeding in which claims are asserted against the Investment Manager or any Affiliate of the Investment Manager) so long as the Investment Manager shall have been offered reasonable security, indemnity or other provisions against the cost,
expenses and liabilities that might be incurred in connection therewith and a reasonable per diem fee. 
  

	 	13.	Liability of Investment Manager; Delegation. 

 (a) The Investment Manager assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder and under the terms of the Loan Agreement made applicable to it pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement. The Investment Manager shall not be responsible for any action of the Company in declining to follow any advice, recommendation or direction of the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager shall have no liability to
the Administrative Agent or other creditors of the Company, for any error of judgment, mistake of law, or for any loss arising out of any investment, or for any other act or omission in the performance of its obligations to the Company except for
liability to which it would be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in performance, or reckless disregard of its obligations hereunder. The Investment Manager may delegate to an agent selected with reasonable care,
which shall include any Person that is party to a sub-advisory agreement with the Investment Manager or any of its Affiliates as of the date hereof, any or all duties (other than its asset selection or trade execution duties) assigned to the
Investment Manager hereunder; provided that no such delegation by the Investment Manager of any of its duties hereunder shall relieve the Investment Manager of any of its duties hereunder nor relieve the Investment Manager of any liability
with respect to the performance of such duties. For the avoidance of doubt, asset selection and trade execution duties shall include the services described in Section 1(a) hereof. 

Notwithstanding the above and Section 17, the Investment Manager shall be permitted to assign any or all of its
rights and delegate any or all of its obligations to an Affiliate reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent that (i) will professionally and competently perform duties similar to those imposed upon the Investment Manager under this
Agreement and (ii) is legally qualified and has the capacity to act as the Investment Manager under this Agreement. The Investment Manager shall not be liable for any consequential damages hereunder. 

(b) The Company shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Investment Manager, its directors, officers, agents and
employees and any of its Affiliates from any and all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), as are incurred in investigating, preparing,
pursuing or defending any claim, action, proceeding or investigation with respect to any pending or threatened litigation caused by, or arising out of or in connection with, any acts or omissions of the Investment Manager, its directors, officers,
stockholders, agents and employees made in good faith and in the 

  
 12 

 
performance of the Investment Manager’s duties under this Agreement or the Loan Agreement except to the extent resulting from such person’s bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of its duties hereunder or thereunder. The Investment Manager, its directors, officers, stockholders, agents and employees may consult with counsel and accountants with respect to the affairs of the Company and shall
be fully protected and justified, to the extent allowed by law, in acting, or failing to act, if such action or failure to act is taken or made in good faith and is in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel or accountants.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the obligations of the Company under this Section 13(b) shall be payable from the Company’s assets and are subject to the availability of funds. 

(c) The Investment Manager shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its members, manager, officers,
agents and employees from any and all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), as are incurred in investigating, preparing, pursuing or
defending any claim, action, proceeding or investigation with respect o any pending or threatened litigation caused by, or arising out of or in connection with, (i) any acts or omissions of the Investment Manager constituting bad faith, willful
misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement or under the Loan Agreement and (ii) any breach of the representations and warranties made by the Investment Manger in Section 4 hereof. 

 

	 	14.	Obligations of Investment Manager. 

 Unless otherwise required by any provision of the Loan Agreement or this Agreement or by applicable law, the Investment Manager shall not intentionally take any action, which it knows or should know would
(a) materially adversely affect the Company for purposes of United States federal or state law or any other law known to the Investment Manager to be applicable to the Company, (b) require registration of the Company or the Company’s
assets as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, (c) not be permitted under the Company’s operating agreement or certificate of formation (including, but not limited to, Section 9 thereof), (d) cause
the Company to violate the terms of the Loan Agreement, (e) subject the Company to federal, state or other income taxation or (f) adversely affect the interests of the Administrative Agent in any material respect (other than as permitted
or required hereunder or under the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, as may result from the performance of any Debt Obligation), it being understood that in connection with the foregoing the Investment Manager will not be required to
make any independent investigation of any facts or laws not otherwise known to it in connection with its obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Agreement or the conduct of its business generally. The Investment Manager covenants that it shall
comply in all material respects with all laws and regulations applicable to it in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement and the Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Investment Manager shall not
take any discretionary action that would reasonably be expected to cause an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement. The Investment Manager covenants that it shall not fail to correct any known misunderstandings regarding the separate identity of
the Company and shall not identify itself as a division or department of the Company. 

  
 13 

	 	15.	No Partnership or Joint Venture. 

 The Company and the Investment Manager are not partners or joint venturers with each other and nothing herein shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as
such on either of them. The Investment Manager’s relation to the Company shall be deemed to be that of an independent contractor. 
  

	 	16.	Notices. 

 Any notice
under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent by facsimile, confirmed by telephonic communication, or addressed and delivered or mailed postage paid to the other party at such address as such other party may designate for the receipt of such
notice. Until further notice to the other party it is agreed that the address of the Company and the Administrative Agent for this purpose shall be as set forth in Section 8.3 of the Loan Agreement, and the address of the Investment Manager for

	 	17.	Succession/Assignment. 

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors to the parties hereto. No assignment of this Agreement by

	 	18.	Conflicts with the Loan Agreement. 

 Subject to the provisions of Section 1 hereof pertaining to the binding effect of certain amendments to the Loan Agreement on the Investment Manager, in the event that this Agreement requires any

control. 
  

	 	19.	Miscellaneous. 

 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles. With respect to any Proceeding, each party

jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City and (ii) waives any objection which it may have
at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such
court does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing
of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction. 
 (b) THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE SERVICE OF ANY
AND ALL PROCESS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OR DELIVERY OF COPIES OF SUCH PROCESS TO EACH SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 16 HEREOF. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL
BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. 
 (c) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 
 (d) No failure on the part of either party hereto to exercise and no delay
in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this
Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such
right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver. 

(e) The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience only and in no way define or limit any of the provisions
hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect. 
 (f) In the event any provision of this Agreement
shall be held invalid or unenforceable, by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provisions hereof. 

(g) This Agreement may not be amended or modified or any provision thereof waived except by an instrument in writing
signed by the parties hereto. 
 (h) This Agreement and the Loan Agreement contain the entire understanding and
agreement between the parties and supersedes all other prior understandings and 

  
 15 

 
agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties concerning this subject matter. The express terms of this Agreement control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the
trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof. 
 (i) The Investment Manager (i) consents to, and agrees
to perform, the provisions of the Loan Agreement applicable to the Investment Manager and (ii) agrees that all of the representations, covenants and agreements made by the Investment Manager in this Agreement are also for the benefit of the
Lenders. 
 (j) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be
deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of
the parties reflected hereon as the signatories. 
 (k) Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be
made herein or pursuant hereto, and each indemnity provided for hereby, shall survive the execution and delivery and any termination or assignment of this Agreement or resignation or removal of the Investment Manager. 

(l) The Company hereby acknowledges and accepts all actions that were taken by the Investment Manager and/or recommended
to the Company by the Investment Manager prior to the Closing Date, including all actions and recommendations that were otherwise consistent with the services to be provided by the Investment Manager to the Company pursuant to Section 1 of this
Agreement prior to the Closing Date, in each case, as if this Agreement had been in effect at the time that such actions were taken or such recommendations were made. 
  

	 	20.	Non-Payment. 

 The
Investment Manager shall continue to serve as Investment Manager under this Agreement notwithstanding that the Investment Manager shall not have received amounts due to it under this Agreement because sufficient funds were not then available
hereunder to pay such amounts in accordance with Section 3.8(b) of the Loan Agreement. 
  

	 	21.	No Recourse. 

 The
Investment Manager hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s obligations hereunder will be solely the corporate obligations of the Company, and the Investment Manager will not have any recourse to any of the directors, officers,
employees, holders of the membership interest of Company with respect to any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities or other obligations in connection with any transactions contemplated hereby. Recourse in respect of any obligations of
the Company hereunder will be limited to the Company’s assets and on the exhaustion thereof all claims against the Company arising from this Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby shall be extinguished. The provisions of this
Section 21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.
