  RE:         Securities Subscription Agreement

  

  

  Gentlemen:

  

  

   This agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into on April 9, 2021 by and between Infinite Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Subscriber” or “you”), and Infinite Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”). Pursuant to the terms hereof,
    the Company hereby accepts the offer the Subscriber has made to purchase 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Shares”), up to 750,000 of which are subject to surrender and
    cancellation by you if the underwriters of the initial public offering (“IPO”) of units (“Units”) of the Company do not fully exercise their over-allotment option (the “Over-allotment Option”). The Company and the Subscriber’s agreements regarding such Shares are as follows:

  

  

  1.            Purchase of Securities.

  

  

  1.1          Purchase of Shares. For the sum of $25,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which the Company acknowledges receiving in cash, the Company hereby issues the Shares to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and
      purchases the Shares from the Company, 750,000 of which are subject to surrender and cancellation, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to shares of the Company being surrendered and
      canceled shall take effect as surrenders and cancellations for no consideration of such shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law.

  

  

  1.2          Repurchase of Subscriber Share. Immediately following the issue of shares by the Company, the Company shall repurchase
    the 1 Class B ordinary share of $0.0001 par value in the Company currently held by Ogier Global (Subscriber) Limited in its capacity as initial subscriber, as permitted by the articles of association of the Company.

   

  

  2.            Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

  

  

  2.1         Subscriber’s Representations, Warranties and Agreements. To induce the Company to issue the Shares to the Subscriber, the Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the Company and agrees with the
    Company as follows:

  

  

   2.1.1      No Government Recommendation or Approval. The Subscriber understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the offering of the Shares.

  

  

  
    
      

  

   2.1.2      No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Subscriber of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a
    default under (i) the formation and governing documents of the Subscriber, (ii) any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Subscriber is a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Subscriber is subject, or any
    agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Subscriber is subject.

  

  

   2.1.3      Registration and Authority. The Subscriber is a Delaware limited liability company, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and possesses all requisite power and authority
    necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon execution and delivery by you, this Agreement will be a legal, valid and binding agreement of Subscriber, enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with its terms, except
    as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is
    sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

  

  

   2.1.4      Experience, Financial Capability and Suitability. Subscriber is: (i) sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Shares and (ii) able to
    bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act (as defined below) and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the
    Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. Subscriber must bear the economic risk of
    this investment until the Shares are sold pursuant to: (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from registration available with respect to such sale. Subscriber is able to bear the economic risks of an
    investment in the Shares and to afford a complete loss of Subscriber’s investment in the Shares.

  

  

   2.1.5      Access to Information; Independent Investigation. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Subscriber has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the
    Company concerning an investment in the Company, as well as the finances, operations, business and prospects of the Company, and the opportunity to obtain additional information to verify the accuracy of all information so obtained. In determining
    whether to make this investment, Subscriber has relied solely on Subscriber’s own knowledge and understanding of the Company and its business based upon Subscriber’s own due diligence investigation and the information furnished pursuant to this
    paragraph. Subscriber understands that no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations which were not furnished pursuant to this Section 2 and Subscriber has not relied on any other representations or information in
    making its investment decision, whether written or oral, relating to the Company, its operations and/or its prospects.

  

  

   2.1.6      Regulation D Offering. Subscriber represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in
      Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and acknowledges the sale
      contemplated hereby is being made in reliance on a private placement exemption to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Section 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act or similar exemptions under federal and state law.

  

  

   2.1.7      Investment Purposes. The Subscriber is purchasing the Shares solely for investment purposes, for the Subscriber’s own account and not for the account or benefit of any other person, and not with a view
    towards the distribution or dissemination thereof. The Subscriber did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

   

  

  
    
      

  

   2.1.8      Restrictions on Transfer; Shell Company. Subscriber understands the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act. Subscriber
    understands the Shares will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and Subscriber understands that the certificates representing the Shares will contain a legend in respect of such restrictions. If in
    the future the Subscriber decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Shares, such Shares may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only pursuant to: (i) registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) an available
    exemption from registration. Subscriber agrees that if any transfer of its Shares or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, Subscriber may be required to deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel
    satisfactory to the Company. Absent registration or an exemption, the Subscriber agrees not to resell the Shares. Subscriber further acknowledges that because the Company is a shell company, Rule 144 may not be available to the Subscriber for the
    resale of the Shares until one year following consummation of the initial business combination of the Company, despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 and the release or waiver of any contractual transfer restrictions.

  

  

   2.1.9      No Governmental Consents. No governmental, administrative or other third party consents or approvals are required or necessary on the part of Subscriber in connection with the transactions contemplated
    by this Agreement.

  

  

  2.2         Company’s Representations, Warranties and Agreements. To induce the Subscriber to purchase the Shares, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Subscriber and agrees with the Subscriber as
    follows:

  

  

   2.2.1      Incorporation and Corporate Power. The Company is a Cayman Islands exempted company and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected
    to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results or assets of the Company. The Company possesses all requisite corporate power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Upon
    execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement will be a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
    insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

  

  

   2.2.2      No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default
    under (i) the memorandum and articles of association of the Company, (ii) any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Company is subject, or any agreement, order,
    judgment or decree to which the Company is subject.

  

  

   2.2.3      Title to Securities. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof, and registration in the Company’s register of members, the Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully
    paid and nonassessable. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof, and registration in the Company’s register of members, the Subscriber will have or receive good title to the Shares, free and clear of all liens,
    claims and encumbrances of any kind, other than (a) transfer restrictions hereunder and other agreements to which the Shares may be subject, (b) transfer restrictions under federal and state securities laws, and (c) liens, claims or encumbrances
    imposed due to the actions of the Subscriber.

   

  

  
    
      

  

   2.2.4      No Adverse Actions. There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending, threatened against or affecting the Company which: (i) seek to restrain, enjoin, prevent the consummation of or
    otherwise affect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) question the validity or legality of any transactions or seeks to recover damages or to obtain other relief in connection with any transactions.

  

  

  3.            Surrender and Cancellation of Shares.

  

  

  3.1         Partial or No Exercise of the Over-allotment Option. In the event the Over-allotment Option granted to the representative(s) of the underwriters of the Company’s IPO is not exercised in full, the
    Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it shall surrender for cancellation any and all rights to such number of Shares (up to an aggregate of 750,000 Shares and pro rata based upon the percentage of the Over-allotment Option exercised) such that
    immediately following such surrender, the Subscriber (and all other initial shareholders prior to the IPO, if any) will own an aggregate number of Shares (not including ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of any warrants or any ordinary shares
    purchased by Subscriber in the Company’s IPO or in the aftermarket) equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company immediately following the IPO.

  

  

  3.2          Termination of Rights as Shareholder. If any of the Shares are surrendered and cancelled in accordance with this Section 3, then after such time the Subscriber (or successor in interest), shall no
    longer have any rights as a holder of such Shares, and the Company shall take such action as is appropriate to cancel such Shares.

  

  

  4.            Waiver of Liquidation Distributions; Redemption Rights. In connection with the Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the
      Subscriber hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distributions by the Company from the trust account which will be established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and into which
      substantially all of the proceeds of the IPO will be deposited (the “Trust Account”), in the event of a liquidation of the
      Company upon the Company’s failure to timely complete an initial business combination. For purposes of clarity, in the event the Subscriber purchases ordinary shares in the IPO or in the aftermarket, any additional Shares so purchased shall be
      eligible to receive any liquidating distributions by the Company. However, in no event will the Subscriber have the right to redeem any ordinary shares into funds held in the Trust Account upon the successful completion of an initial business
      combination.

  

  

  5.            Restrictions on Transfer.

  

  

  5.1         Securities Law Restrictions. In addition to any restrictions to be contained in that certain letter agreement
      (commonly known as an “Insider Letter”) to be dated as of the closing of the IPO by and between Subscriber and the Company,
      Subscriber agrees not to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Shares unless, prior thereto (a) a registration statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act and applicable state securities
      laws with respect to the Shares proposed to be transferred shall then be effective or (b) the Company has received an opinion from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration is not required because such transaction is
      exempt from registration under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder and with all applicable state securities laws.

  

  

  5.2          Restrictive Legends. Any certificates representing the Shares shall have endorsed thereon legends substantially as follows:

  

  

  “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED,
    SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL, IS AVAILABLE.”

  

  

  
    
      

  

  “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO LOCKUP PROVISIONS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED DURING THE TERM OF THE LOCKUP.”

  

  

  5.3         Additional Shares or Substituted Securities. In the event of the declaration of a share capitalization, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Shares, a spin-off, a
    share sub-division, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding Shares without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property which are by
    reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to this Section 5 or into which such Shares thereby become convertible shall immediately be subject to this Section 5 and Section 3. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the
    distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of Shares subject to this Section 5 and Section 3.

  

  

  5.4          Registration Rights. Subscriber acknowledges that the Shares are being purchased pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and will become freely tradable only
    after certain conditions are met or they are registered pursuant to a Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement to be entered into with the Company prior to the closing of the IPO.

  

  

  6.            Other Agreements.

  

  

  6.1         Further Assurances. Subscriber agrees to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

  

  

  6.2          Notices. All notices, statements or other documents which are required or contemplated by this Agreement shall be: (i) in writing and delivered personally or sent by first class registered or certified
    mail, overnight courier service or facsimile or electronic transmission to the address designated in writing, (ii) by facsimile to the number most recently provided to such party or such other address or fax number as may be designated in writing by
    such party and (iii) by electronic mail, to the electronic mail address most recently provided to such party or such other electronic mail address as may be designated in writing by such party. Any notice or other communication so transmitted shall be
    deemed to have been given on the day of delivery, if delivered personally, on the business day following receipt of written confirmation, if sent by facsimile or electronic transmission, one (1) business day after delivery to an overnight courier
    service or five (5) days after mailing if sent by mail.

  

  

  6.3         Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with that certain Insider Letter to be entered into between Subscriber and the Company, substantially in the form to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration
    Statement on Form S-1 associated with the Company’s IPO, embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Subscriber and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements and
    understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. No statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any kind not expressly set forth in this Agreement shall affect, or be used to interpret, change or restrict, the express terms and
    provisions of this Agreement.

   

  

  
    
      

  

  6.4          Modifications and Amendments. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be modified or amended only by written agreement executed by all parties hereto.

  

  

  6.5          Waivers and Consents. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by a written document executed by the party entitled to the benefits
    of such terms or provisions. No such waiver or consent shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether or not similar. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective
    only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or consent.

  

  

  6.6          Assignment. The rights and obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party.

  

  

  6.7          Benefit. All statements, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of the respective successors and
    permitted assigns of each party hereto. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any rights or obligations except among the parties hereto, and no person or entity shall be regarded as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

  

  

  6.8          Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of New York applicable to contracts wholly performed
    within the borders of such state, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

  

  

  6.9          Severability. In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision, or any portion thereof, contained in this Agreement shall be unreasonable or unenforceable in any
    respect, then such provision shall be deemed limited to the extent that such court deems it reasonable and enforceable, and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that such court shall deem any such provision, or portion
    thereof, wholly unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

  

  

  6.10        No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall
    operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or
    remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue
    other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a
    waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

  

  

  6.11        Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto in this Agreement or in any other agreement, certificate or instrument provided for or
    contemplated hereby, shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and any investigations made by or on behalf of the parties.

   

  

  
    
      

  

  6.12        No Broker or Finder. Each of the parties hereto represents and warrants to the other that no broker, finder or other financial consultant has acted on its behalf in connection with this Agreement or the
    transactions contemplated hereby in such a way as to create any liability on the other. Each of the parties hereto agrees to indemnify and save the other harmless from any claim or demand for commission or other compensation by any broker, finder,
    financial consultant or similar agent claiming to have been employed by or on behalf of such party and to bear the cost of legal expenses incurred in defending against any such claim.

  

  

  6.13        Headings and Captions. The headings and captions of the various subdivisions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of
    any of the terms or provisions hereof.

  

  

  6.14        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts
    have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or any other form of electronic delivery,
    such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

  

  

  6.15        Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.
      If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the
      authorship of any provision of this Agreement. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be
      followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other
      gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto
      intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists
      another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in
      breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

  

  

  6.16        Mutual Drafting. This Agreement is the joint product of the Subscriber and the Company and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of such parties
    and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto.

  

  

  7.            Voting and Redemption of Shares. Subscriber agrees to vote the Shares in favor of an initial business combination that the Company negotiates and submits for approval to the Company’s shareholders and shall not seek redemption
    or repurchase with respect to such Shares. Additionally, the Subscriber agrees not to tender any Shares in connection with a tender offer presented to the Company’s shareholders in connection with an initial business combination negotiated by the
    Company.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE

 

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

 

BETWEEN

 

NEW MOUNTAIN FINANCE CORPORATION

 

AND

 

NEW MOUNTAIN FINANCE ADVISERS BDC, L.L.C.

 

This AMENDMENT NO. 1 (this “Amendment”),
dated as of November 1, 2021, is made with respect to the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2014
(the “Agreement”), by and between New Mountain Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and New Mountain Finance Advisers BDC, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”). Capitalized terms
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

 

In consideration of the promises and the mutual
agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

Section 3
of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as set forth below for the sole purpose of reducing the Base Management Fee from 1.75%
of the Company’s gross assets to 1.4% of the Company’s gross assets.

 

3. Compensation of the Adviser.

 

The Company agrees to pay, and the Adviser agrees
to accept, as compensation for the services provided by the Adviser hereunder, a base management fee (“Base Management Fee”)
and an incentive fee (“Incentive Fee”) as hereinafter set forth.  The Company shall make any payments due hereunder to
the Adviser or to the Adviser’s designee as the Adviser may otherwise direct.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Adviser may elect, or the Company may adopt a deferred compensation plan pursuant to which the Adviser may elect, to defer all or a portion
of its fees hereunder for a specified period of time.

 

(a)            The
Base Management Fee shall be calculated at an annual rate of 1.4% of the Company’s gross assets, as presented in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
less cash and cash equivalents. For services
rendered under this Agreement, the Base Management Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears. The Base Management Fee will be calculated
based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters,
and appropriately adjusted on a pro rata basis for any equity capital raised or repurchased during the current calendar quarter. Base
Management Fees for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately pro rated.

 

(b)          The
Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows:

 

		(i)	One part will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment
Income” for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income means interest
income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as
commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies)
accrued by the Company during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management
Fee, expenses payable under the administration agreement with the Administrator, and any interest expense and distributions paid on any
issued and outstanding preferred membership units, but excluding the Incentive Fee).  Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes,
in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay in kind interest
and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash.  Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income
does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.  Pre-Incentive
Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately
preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 2% per quarter (8% annualized), subject to a “catch-up”
provision measured as of the end of each calendar quarter.  The Company’s net investment income used to calculate this part
of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of its gross assets used to calculate the 1.5% Base Management Fee.  The
Company will keep track of the transferred value of each of its assets acquired on May 19, 2011 and for purposes of the incentive
fee calculation, adjust Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income to eliminate the effect of additional amortization of purchase discount
or original issue discount taken into account in each period as a result of the lower original purchase price of assets acquired on May 19,
2011 as to the transferred value of that date. The Company will pay the Adviser an Incentive Fee with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive
Fee Net Investment Income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s
Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2% (the “preferred return” or “hurdle”);
(2) 100% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net
Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10% annualized); this
portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5%) is referred to
herein as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 20% on all of
the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if a hurdle rate did not apply when the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee
Net Investment Income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net
Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10% annualized) payable to the Adviser once the hurdle is reached
and the catch-up is achieved, (20% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser).  These
calculations will be appropriately pro rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any equity capital raises or repurchases
during the relevant calendar quarter.

 

     

     

    

 

		(ii)	The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Capital Gains Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of
the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), commencing on December 31, 2011, and will
equal 20% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar
year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount
of any previously paid capital gain Incentive Fees; provided that the Incentive Fee determined as of December 31, 2011 will be calculated
for a period of shorter than twelve calendar months to take into account any realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital
losses and unrealized capital depreciation from inception.  The Company will keep track of the transferred value of each of its assets
acquired on May 19, 2011 and for purposes of the second part of the incentive fee calculation, adjust realized capital gains, realized
capital losses, unrealized capital appreciation and unrealized capital depreciation to eliminate the effect of the difference in cost
basis and calculate these amounts “as if” the GAAP built-in gain for each asset was zero on May 19, 2011.

 

		(iii)	The last day of each calendar quarter in which the Adviser is entitled to receive an Incentive Fee shall be referred to herein as
an “Incentive Fee Date.”
