CONVEYANCES OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS 

SECTION 2.1 Conveyances. 

(a)      On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Seller
agrees to Convey to the Purchaser on the Effective Date, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Seller on the Effective Date (the “Initial Conveyance”), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to each
Collateral Obligation listed on Schedule A to this Agreement (as such schedule may be amended, supplemented, updated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Schedule of Collateral Obligations”) (the Schedule of
Collateral Obligations, as amended, supplemented, updated or otherwise modified shall become part of the Schedule of Collateral Obligations), together with all other Related Security and all proceeds of the foregoing but excluding the Retained
Interests (if any) for such Collateral Obligation. 
 (b)      In the event the Purchaser
agrees, from time to time after the Effective Date, to acquire additional Collateral Obligations (including Related Security) from the Seller, the Purchaser shall deliver written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form
set forth in Schedule B hereto (each, a “Purchase Notice”), designating the date of the proposed Conveyance (a “Subsequent Conveyance Date”) and attaching a supplement to the Schedule of Collateral Obligations
identifying the Transferred Assets proposed to be Conveyed. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Loan Agreement, the Seller shall Convey to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase, on the applicable

  
 -3- 

 
Subsequent Conveyance Date (each such purchase and sale being herein called a “Subsequent Conveyance”), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to each
Collateral Obligation then reported by the Seller on the Schedule of Collateral Obligations attached to the related Purchase Notice, together with all other Related Security and all proceeds of the foregoing. 

(c)       It is the express intent of the Seller and the Purchaser that each Conveyance of
Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement be construed as an absolute sale and/or contribution of such Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser. Further, it is not the intention of the Seller and the
Purchaser that any purchase be deemed a grant of a security interest in the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties,
the Conveyances hereunder shall be characterized as loans and not as sales and/or contributions, then (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC and other applicable law and
(ii) the Conveyances by the Seller provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be, and the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a security interest in, to and under all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, such Transferred Assets and all proceeds of the foregoing. The Purchaser and its assignees shall have, with respect to such Transferred Assets and other related rights, in addition to all the other rights and
remedies available to the Purchaser and its assignees and under the other Transaction Documents, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. 

The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to
ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Transferred Assets to secure a debt or other obligation, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest in favor of the Purchaser under
applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Seller represents and warrants that the Transferred Assets are being transferred with the intention of removing them from the Seller’s estate pursuant to
Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (d)      In connection with the Initial
Conveyance, the Seller agrees to file on or prior to the Effective Date, at its own expense, a financing statement or statements with respect to the Transferred Assets Conveyed by the Seller hereunder from time to time meeting the requirements of
applicable state law in the jurisdiction of the Seller’s organization to perfect and protect the interests of the Purchaser created hereby under the UCC against all creditors of, and purchasers from, the Seller, and to deliver a file-stamped
copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to the Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable after its receipt thereof. 

(e)      The Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and
deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be reasonably necessary or as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to perfect or protect the interest of the Purchaser in the Transferred Assets purchased hereunder or to
enable the Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller will, in order to accurately reflect the Conveyances contemplated by this Agreement, execute and file such financing or continuation
statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof (as permitted pursuant hereto) or other documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by 

  
 -4- 

 
the Purchaser and mark its master computer records (or related sub-ledger) noting the purchase by the Purchaser of the Transferred Assets and the Lien of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Loan
Agreement. The Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser to file and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law the Purchaser shall be permitted to file initial financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto and
assignments thereof without the Seller’s further action; provided that the description of collateral contained in such financing statements shall be limited to only Transferred Assets. Carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this
Agreement or any financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement. 
 SECTION 2.2 Indemnification.
Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller agrees to indemnify on a net after-tax basis (including, for example, taking into account the deductibility of an applicable underlying
damage, loss, liability or related cost and expense) the Purchaser and its successors, transferees, and assigns (including each Secured Party) and all officers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the
foregoing (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called an “Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of any breach by the Seller of any of its obligations hereunder or
arising as a result of the failure of any representation or warranty of the Seller herein to be true and correct on the date such representation or warranty was made, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts in respect of any
Transferred Asset due to such Obligor’s creditworthiness, (b) Indemnified Amounts payable to an Indemnified Party to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party or its agent or subcontractor, (c) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, non-payment by any Obligor of an amount due and payable with respect to a Transferred Asset, (d) any
Excluded Taxes and any Taxes indemnifiable under the Loan Agreement and (e) Indemnified Amounts resulting from the performance or non-performance of the Collateral Obligations. 

ARTICLE III 

CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT; REPORTING 

SECTION 3.1 Purchase Price.  The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Transferred
Assets Conveyed on each Purchase Date shall be a dollar amount equal to the fair market value (as agreed upon between the Seller and the Purchaser at the time of such Conveyance) of such Transferred Assets as of such date. 

SECTION 3.2 Payment of Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price shall be paid on the related Purchase Date at the
option of the Seller (a) by payment in cash in immediately available funds in an amount not greater than the sum of (i) the proceeds of Advances made to the Purchaser with respect to such Collateral Obligations to be Conveyed on such
Purchase Date and (ii) amounts constituting Principal Collections in the Collections Account utilized for a Reinvestment pursuant to Section 8.3(b) of the Loan Agreement, (b) by the Seller making a capital contribution to the
Purchaser in an amount equal to the unpaid portion of the Purchase Price, or (c) any combination of the foregoing (a) and (b).

obligations under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(A) consents, notices, filings and other actions which have been obtained or made (or will be obtained or made substantially simultaneously with the Effective Date), and continuation statements and renewals in respect thereof and (B) where

(f)       Legality; Validity; Enforceability. Assuming due authorization,
execution and delivery by each other party hereto and thereto, this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its
respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (B) equitable limitations on the
availability of specific remedies, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and (C) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing. 

(g)      No Litigation. There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to
its knowledge, threatened against the Seller, before any court or Official Body having jurisdiction over it or its properties (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (B) seeking to prevent

(h)      Legal Compliance.  The Seller has complied and will comply in all
material respects with all Applicable Laws, judgments, agreements with governmental authorities, decrees and orders with respect to its business and properties and the Transferred Assets. 

(i)      Taxes.  The Seller has timely filed all federal and other material
Tax returns (foreign, federal, state, local and otherwise) required to be filed by it relating to the Transferred Assets and has paid all federal and other material Taxes due and payable by it relating to the Transferred Assets (other than any
amount the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Seller). It is not liable for taxes with respect to
the Transferred Assets payable by any other Person. No Tax lien or similar Adverse Claim has been filed, and no claim has been filed or is being asserted, with respect to any Tax relating to the Transferred Assets. Any taxes, fees and other
governmental charges payable by the Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the execution and delivery of this Agreement have been paid or shall have been paid if and when due. 

  
 -7- 

 (j)      Place of Business.  The
principal place of business and chief executive office of the Seller, and the offices where the Seller keeps all its Records, are located at its address specified in Section 8.3, or such other locations notified to the Purchaser in
accordance with this Agreement in jurisdictions where all action required by the terms of this Agreement has been taken and completed. There are currently no, and during the past four months (or such shorter time as the Seller has been in existence)
there have not been, any other locations where the Seller is located (as that term is used in the UCC of the jurisdiction where such principal place of business is located). 

(k)     Ownership; Security Interest. 

 i.       In the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the
parties, the Conveyances hereunder shall be characterized as loans and not as sales and/or contributions, then this Agreement creates a valid and continuing Lien on the Transferred Assets in favor of the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, as
assignee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which security interest is validly perfected under Article 9 of the UCC (to the extent such security interest may be perfected under such article), and is enforceable as such against creditors of and
purchasers from the Borrower; the Transferred Assets are comprised of Instruments, Security Entitlements, General Intangibles, Certificated Securities, Uncertificated Securities, Securities Accounts, Investment Property and Proceeds and such other
categories of collateral under the applicable UCC as to which the Seller has complied with its obligations as set forth herein; the Seller has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of any Collateral Obligation to the sale and
granting of a security interest in the Collateral Obligations hereunder to the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, as assignee on behalf of the Secured Parties; the Seller has taken all necessary steps to file or authorize the filing of all
appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under Applicable Law in order to perfect the security interest in that portion of the Transferred Assets in which a security interest may be perfected by
filing pursuant to Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in Maryland; all original executed copies of each underlying promissory note constituting or evidencing any Transferred Asset have been or, subject to the delivery requirements contained in the
Loan Agreement, will be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee; none of the underlying promissory notes that constitute or evidence the Collateral Obligations has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or
otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, as assignee on behalf of the Secured Parties; with respect to a Transferred Asset that constitutes a Certificated Security, such certificated security has been
delivered to the Purchaser or its designee and, if in registered form, has been specially Indorsed (within the meaning of the UCC) to the Collateral Agent or in blank by an effective Indorsement or has been registered in the name of the Collateral
Agent upon original issue or registration of transfer by the Seller of such Certificated Security; and in the case of an Uncertificated Security, by causing the Purchaser or its designee to become the registered owner of such uncertificated
security. 
 (l)      Fair Consideration; No Avoidance for Collateral Obligation
Payments. With respect to each Transferred Collateral Obligation sold hereunder, the Seller sold such Transferred Collateral Obligation to the Purchaser in exchange for payment, made in accordance

  
 -8- 

 
with the provisions of this Agreement, in an amount which constitutes fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value. Each such Conveyance referred to in the preceding sentence shall not have
been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Seller to the Purchaser. In addition, no such Conveyance shall have been made with the intent to hinder or delay payment to or defraud any creditor of the Seller. 

(m)     Eligibility of Transferred Collateral Obligations.    Each
Transferred Collateral Obligation Conveyed hereunder is, at the time of such Conveyance, an Eligible Collateral Obligation. As of each Purchase Date, Schedule A is an accurate and complete listing of all the Transferred Collateral Obligations and
other Transferred Assets hereunder as of such Purchase Date. 
 (n)      Adequate
Capitalization; No Insolvency.  The Seller is adequately capitalized and will not become insolvent after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. The Seller is adequately
capitalized for its business as proposed to be conducted in the foreseeable future and does not expect the commencement of any insolvency, bankruptcy or similar proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or similar official in respect
of its assets. The Seller executed and delivered each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party for fair consideration and without the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors or any other Person. 

(o)      Reserved. 

(p)      True and Complete Information. All information heretofore or hereafter
furnished by or on behalf of the Seller in writing to any Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Transferred Assets, or any transaction contemplated hereby is
and will be (when taken as a whole) true, correct and complete in all material respects. 

(q)      Financial Statements.  The Seller has delivered to each Lender
complete and correct copies of (A) the audited consolidated financial statements of the Seller for the fiscal year most recently ended, and (B) the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Seller for the fiscal quarter most
recently ended, in each case when (and to the extent) required to be delivered under Sections 7.5(k)(i) and (ii) of the LFSA. Such financial statements (including the related notes) fairly present the financial condition of the Seller as of the
respective dates thereof and the results of operations for the periods covered thereby, each in accordance with GAAP. 

(r)       Payment in Full.   The Seller had no actual knowledge at
the time of Conveyance of a Transferred Asset of any fact which leads it to expect that any payments on such Transferred Asset will not be paid in full when due or to expect any other material adverse effect on (A) the performance by the Seller
of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (B) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or (C) the Transferred
Assets or the interests of the Seller therein. 
 (s)       No Brokers or
Finders. No broker or finder acting on behalf of the Seller was employed or utilized in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents 

  
 -9- 

 
or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and the Seller has no obligation to any Person in respect of any finder’s or brokerage fees in connection therewith. 

(t)       Restricted Payments.  The Seller shall not cause or permit the
Purchaser to make any payments or distributions which would violate Section 10.16 of the Loan Agreement. 

(u)      Special Purpose Entity.  The Purchaser is an entity with assets and
liabilities separate and distinct from those of the Seller and any Affiliates thereof, and the Seller hereby acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties are entering into the transactions contemplated by the
Loan Agreement in reliance upon the Purchaser’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Seller and from each other Affiliate of the Seller. Therefore, from and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller
shall take all reasonable steps, including all steps that the Purchaser or the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request, to maintain the Purchaser’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Seller and from each
other Affiliate of the Seller, and to make it manifest to third parties that the Purchaser is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Seller and each other Affiliate thereof and not just a division of the Seller or any such
other Affiliate. 
 (v)      Reserved. 

(w)     Set–Off, etc.  At the time of Conveyance of a Transferred Asset and to
the knowledge of the Seller after reasonable inquiry, such Transferred Asset has not been compromised, adjusted, extended, satisfied, subordinated, rescinded, set–off or modified by the Seller or by the Obligor thereof, and at such time such
Transferred Asset is not subject to compromise, adjustment, extension, satisfaction, subordination, rescission, set–off, counterclaim, defense, abatement, suspension, deferment, deduction, reduction, termination or modification, whether arising
out of transactions concerning such Transferred Asset or otherwise, by the Seller or by the Obligor with respect thereto, except, in each case, for amendments, extensions and modifications, if any, to such Transferred Asset otherwise permitted under
the Transaction Documents. 
 (x)      No Fraud.  Each Collateral Obligation
was originated without any fraud or material misrepresentation by the Seller or, to the Seller’s knowledge, on the part of the related Obligor. 

SECTION 4.2 Reaffirmation of Representations and Warranties by the Seller; Notice of Breach. On the Effective Date and

 (ii)      to the Administrative

 The
Company shall, upon demand, reimburse the Investment Manager or its affiliates for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with the performance of the administrative services described in this Section 2. 

3.       Authority to Bind the Company; No Joint Venture. 

(a)      Except as provided in or pursuant to Sections 1, 4 and 12 hereof, the Investment
Manager shall have no authority to bind or obligate the Company. All acts of the Investment Manager (other than as provided in the LFSA, the Operating Agreement or in Section 1 or Section 12 hereof with respect to any Collateral
Obligation) shall require the Company’s consent and approval to bind the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a joint venture or partnership between the parties with respect to the arrangements set forth in this
Agreement. For all purposes hereof, the Investment Manager shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and, unless otherwise provided herein or specifically authorized by the Company from time to time, shall have no authority to act for or
represent the Company. 
 (b)      The Investment Manager shall act in conformity with the
written instructions and directions of the Company delivered in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, except to the extent that authority has been delegated to the Investment Manager pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the
Operating Agreement. The Investment Manager will not be bound to follow any amendment to the LFSA or the Operating Agreement until it has received written notice thereof and until it has received a copy of the amendment from the Company or the
Administrative Agent; provided that if any such amendment materially affects the rights or duties of the Investment Manager, the Investment Manager shall not be 

  
 -5- 

 
obligated to respect or comply with the terms of such amendment unless it consents thereto. Subject to the fiduciary duty of the Member, the Company agrees that it shall not permit any amendment
to the Operating Agreement that materially affects the rights or duties of the Investment Manager to become effective unless the Investment Manager has been given prior written notice of such amendment and has consented thereto in writing. The
Investment Manager may, with respect to the affairs of the Company, consult with such legal counsel, accountants and other advisors as may be selected by the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager shall be fully protected, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, in acting or failing to act hereunder if such action or inaction is taken or not taken in good faith by the Investment Manager in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel, accountants or other advisors. The
Investment Manager shall be fully protected in relying upon any writing signed in the appropriate manner with respect to any instruction, direction or approval of the Company and may also rely on opinions of the Investment Manager’s counsel
with respect to such instructions, directions and approvals. The Investment Manager shall also be fully protected when acting upon any instrument, certificate or other writing the Investment Manager believes in good faith to be genuine and to be
signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Investment Manager shall be under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statement contained in any such writing and may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and
accuracy of the statements therein contained if the Investment Manager in good faith believes the same to be genuine. 

4.       Limitations Relating to Collateral Obligations. 

(a)      Collateral Obligations.  Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 4 and except in accordance with the Investment Management Standard, and subject to the requirements of the LFSA, the Operating Agreement and applicable law, the Investment Manager may cause the Company (which term shall include, for all
purposes relating to the purchase and sale of Collateral Obligations and the duties and obligations of the Investment Manager set forth in Section 1 hereof, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, if any) from time to time to purchase
Collateral Obligations. 
 (b)      Reserved. 

(c)      Reserved. 

(d)      Transaction, Director, Consulting, Advisory, Closing and Break- up Fees.
The Company shall receive its pro-rata share, measured by the amount invested or proposed to be invested by the Company in any Collateral Obligation, of any transaction, director, consulting, advisory, closing and break-up fees, or similar fees
(“Additional Fees”) payable with respect to any Collateral Obligation. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Operating Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any Additional Fees with respect to the Company’s share of
such Investment are paid to the Investment Manager or any of its Affiliates, at the election of the Investment Manager, such amount will first be applied to reimburse the Investment Manager or its Affiliates for their out of pocket expenses in
connection with the transaction giving rise to such fees and 100% of the balance will be applied to reduce the subsequent installments of the Management Fee (as defined below). 

  
 -6- 

 5.       Brokerage. 

The Investment Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect all purchases and sales of securities in a manner
consistent with the principles of best execution, taking into account net price (including commissions) and execution capability and other services which the broker or other intermediary may provide. In this regard, the Investment Manager may effect
transactions which cause the Company to pay a commission in excess of a commission which another broker or other intermediary would have charged; provided, however, that the Investment Manager shall have first determined that such
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage or research services performed by that broker or other intermediary or that the Company is the sole beneficiary of the services provided. 

6.       Compensation. 

The Company agrees to pay to the Investment Manager and the Investment Manager agrees to accept as compensation for all
services rendered by the Investment Manager as such, on each Distribution Date and to the extent not waived or deferred, the Primary IM Fee and the Secondary IM Fee for the related Collection Period pursuant to Section 8.3(a) of the LFSA. 

7.       Expenses. 

Other than as set forth below, the Company will be responsible for paying all of its expenses. On behalf of the Company, the
Investment Manager may advance payment of any expenses, and the Company shall, upon request, reimburse the Investment Manager therefor within 30 days following written request from the Investment Manager. Nothing in this Section 7 shall limit
the ability of the Investment Manager to be reimbursed by any Person other than the Company (including issuers or obligors of securities, instruments or obligations owned by the Company) for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Investment Manager
in connection with the performance of services hereunder. The Investment Manager shall maintain complete and accurate records with respect to costs and expenses and shall furnish the Company with receipts or other written vouchers with respect
thereto upon request of the Company. The Company shall bear the costs and expenses of all audits and inspections permitted by Sections 7.9 and Section 18.6 of the LFSA. 

8.       Services to Other Companies or Accounts; Conflicts of Interest. 

(a)      The Investment Manager and its Affiliates, employees or associates are in no way
prohibited from, and intend to, spend substantial business time in connection with other businesses or activities, including, but not limited to, managing investments, advising or managing entities whose investment objectives are the same as or
overlap with those of the Company, participating in actual or potential investments of the Company, providing consulting, merger and acquisition, structuring or financial advisory services, including with respect to actual, contemplated or potential
investments of the Company, or acting as a director, officer or creditors’ committee member of, advisor to, or participant in, any corporation, company, trust or other business entity. The Investment Manager and its Affiliates may, and expect
to, receive fees 

  
 -7- 

 
or other compensation from third parties for any of these activities unrelated to the Company, which fees will be for the benefit of their own account and not the Company. 

(b)      In addition, the Investment Manager and its Affiliates may manage other investment
vehicles and separate accounts (“Other Accounts”) that invest in assets eligible for purchase by the Company. The Company may have the ability, under certain circumstances, to take certain actions that would have an adverse effect
on Other Accounts. In these circumstances, the Investment Manager and its affiliated persons will act in a manner believed to be equitable to the Company and such Other Accounts, including co-investment in accordance with applicable laws, including
the conditions of any exemptive relief obtained by the Company and the Investment Manager. The allocation of investment opportunities among the Company and Other Accounts will be made in good faith pursuant to the Investment Manager’s written
allocation policies. The Investment Manager may combine purchase or sale orders on behalf of the Company with orders for Other Accounts, and allocate the assets so purchased or sold among such accounts in an equitable manner. The Company may invest
in portfolio companies in which Other Accounts have or are concurrently making the same investment or a different investment (e.g., an investment that is junior to the Company’s investment). In such situations, the Company and the Other
Accounts may potentially have conflicting interests. If any matter arises that the Investment Manager determines in its good faith judgment constitutes an actual conflict of interest, the Investment Manager may take such actions as may be necessary
or appropriate to ameliorate the conflict. These actions may include, by way of example and without limitation, disposing of the asset giving rise to the conflict of interest, appointing an independent fiduciary, or delegating decisions relating to
the asset giving rise to the conflict of interest to a subcommittee of the Investment Manager. 

9.      Duty of Care and Loyalty; Exculpation of Liability. 

The Investment Manager shall exercise its discretion and authority in accordance with the Investment Management Standard.

 10.      Indemnification. 

(a)      To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall be held harmless
and indemnified by the Investment Manager against any claims, demands, costs, liabilities and expenses, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees incurred by the Company
(“Losses”) in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or investigative body in which the Company may be or may have been
involved as a party or otherwise or with which the Company may be or may have been threatened, while acting in connection with the establishment, management or operations of the Company or the management of the Collateral Obligations,
provided, however, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that the Company shall not be indemnified hereunder if there has been a determination by a final decision on the merits by a court or other body of competent
jurisdiction before whom the issue of entitlement to indemnification was brought that such Losses have been primarily attributable to the Company’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in performance, or reckless disregard, of its
obligations; provided further, that the Investment Manager will not be required to indemnify the Company with respect to any Losses 

  
 -8- 

 
(i) arising out of an action or claim brought against the Company by the Investment Manager or its Affiliates, or (ii) resulting from the performance or non-performance of the Collateral
Obligations. 
 Indemnification under this Section 10(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
resignation or removal of any Investment Manager Indemnified Party and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. 

If for any reason (other than the exclusions set forth in the first paragraph of Section 10(a)) the indemnification
provided above in Section 10(a) is unavailable to an Investment Manager Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Investment Manager Indemnified Party harmless, then the Investment Manager agrees to contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Investment Manager Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Investment Manager Indemnified Party, on the
one hand, and the Investment Manager and its Affiliates, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such Investment Manager Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Investment Manager and its Affiliates, on the other hand, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. 
 (b) 

(i)      To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the
Investment Manager, and its Affiliates, or any officer, director, member, manager, employee, stockholder, assign, representative or agent of any such Person (each an “Indemnified Person”, and collectively, the “Indemnified
Persons”) shall be held harmless and indemnified by the Company (solely out of the Collateral Obligations and in accordance with Section 10(b)(v) , and not (solely for the purposes of this Agreement) out of the separate assets of any
Member) against any claims, demands, costs, liabilities and expenses, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense
or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or investigative body in which such Indemnified Person may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise (other than as
authorized by the Directors of the Member, as the plaintiff or complainant) or with which such Indemnified Person may be or may have been threatened, while acting in such Person’s capacity as an Indemnified Person in connection with the
establishment, management or operations of the Company or the management of the Collateral Obligations, provided, however, that an Indemnified Person shall not be indemnified hereunder if and to the extent resulting from such
Indemnified Person’s bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard; provided further, that the Company will not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Persons with respect to any Losses (i) arising
out of an action or claim brought against any Indemnified Person by the Company or its Affiliates, or (ii) resulting from the performance or non-performance of the Collateral Obligations. 

(ii)      Only to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the LFSA, the
Company shall make advance payments in connection with the expenses of defending 

  
 -9- 

 
any action, suit or other proceeding with respect to which indemnification might be sought hereunder if the Company receives a written affirmation by the Indemnified Person of the Indemnified
Person’s good faith belief that the standards of conduct necessary for indemnification have been met and a written undertaking to reimburse the Company unless it is subsequently determined that the Indemnified Person is entitled to such
indemnification and if a majority of the Directors of the Member determine that the applicable standards of conduct necessary for indemnification appear to have been met. In addition, at least one of the following conditions must be met:
(i) the Indemnified Person shall provide adequate security for its undertaking (ii) the Company shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances, or (iii) independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall
conclude, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that there is substantial reason to believe that the Indemnified Person ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification. Any payments pursuant to
this Section 10(b)(ii) while the LFSA is in effect will be paid solely in accordance with Section 8.3 of the LFSA (subject to the availability of funds and to the conditions set forth in the LFSA). 

(iii)      The rights accruing to any Indemnified Person under these provisions
shall not exclude any other right to which such Indemnified Person may be lawfully entitled. 

(iv)      Each Indemnified Person (other than the Investment Manager) shall, in
the performance of its duties, be fully and completely justified and protected with regard to any act or any failure to act resulting from reliance in good faith upon the books of account or other records of the Company, upon an opinion of counsel,
or upon reports made to the Company by any of the Company’s officers or employees or by any advisor, administrator, manager, distributor, selected dealer, accountant, appraiser or other expert or consultant selected with reasonable care by the
Directors of the Member, officers or employees of the Company, regardless of whether such counsel or other person may also be a Director of the Member. The Investment Manager shall, in the performance of its duties, be fully and completely justified
and protected with regard to any act or any failure to act resulting from reliance in good faith upon any books of account or other records of the Company that were prepared by an agent or other third party, upon an opinion of counsel, or upon
reports made to the Company by any advisor, administrator, manager, distributor, selected dealer, accountant, appraiser or other expert or consultant selected with reasonable care by the Directors of the Member, officers or employees of the Company,
regardless of whether such counsel or other person may also be a Director of the Member. 

(v)      Any payments pursuant to Section 10(b)(i) while the LFSA is in
effect will be paid solely in accordance with Section 8.3 of the LFSA (subject to the availability of funds and to the conditions set forth in the LFSA). All determinations that may be made to make advance payments in connection with the
expense of defending or settling any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, shall be authorized and made (if so authorized and made) in accordance with paragraph (b)(ii) above. 

11.      Term of Agreement; Events Affecting the Investment Manager; Survival of Certain
Terms; Delegation. 

  
 -10- 

 (a)      This Agreement shall become effective as
of the date hereof and, unless sooner terminated by the Company or the Investment Manager as provided herein, shall continue in effect for the term of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated by the Company
without the payment of any penalty, upon the occurrence of a “cause” event. A “cause” event for purposes of this Section 11(a) shall have occurred by reason of (i) the conviction (or plea of no contest) for a felony of
the Investment Manager, (ii) the conviction (or plea of no contest) for a felony of an officer or a member of the board of directors of the Investment Manager, if the employment or other affiliation of such Person so convicted is not terminated
by the Investment Manager within 30 days of such conviction and the Member votes thereafter to invoke this termination provision, or (iii) the Investment Manager or an officer or a member of the board of directors of the Investment Manager has
engaged in gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the Company that has resulted in a material adverse effect on the Company or the Collateral Obligations, or has committed a knowing material violation of securities laws, each as
determined by a final decision of a court or binding arbitration decision unless, in the case of such natural persons, their employment or other affiliation with the Investment Manager is terminated or suspended within 30 days after discovery by the
Investment Manager. The Investment Manager shall promptly provide written notice to the Member upon the occurrence of a “cause” event. 

(b)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sections 7 and 10 of this Agreement
shall survive any termination hereof. 
 (c)      From and after the effective date of
termination of this Agreement, the Investment Manager and its Affiliates shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder, but shall be paid all compensation and reimbursement of expenses accrued to the date of termination. Upon
such termination, or upon the occurrence of an Investment Manager Event of Default and upon request by the Borrower, the Investment Manager shall deliver as directed copies of its Records within five Business Days after demand therefor and a
computer tape or diskette (or any other means of electronic transmission acceptable to the successor investment manager) containing as of the close of business on the date of demand all of the data maintained by the Investment Manager in computer
format in connection with managing the Collateral Obligations. The Investment Manager agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with any successor investment manager in the transfer of its responsibilities hereunder, and will, among other
things, provide upon receipt of a written request by such successor investment manager any information available to it regarding any Collateral Obligations. The Investment Manager agrees that, notwithstanding any termination, it will reasonably
cooperate in any proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement, the LFSA or any Collateral Obligation (excluding any such proceeding in which claims are asserted against the Investment Manager or any Affiliate of the Investment Manager) upon
receipt of appropriate indemnification and expense reimbursement. 
 (d)      Until a
successor investment manager has commenced investment management activities in the place of FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation II shall not resign as Investment Manager hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law without causing the Investment Manager to have liability, the resignation of the Investment Manager shall not become effective until an entity approved in accordance with Section 7.2(a) of
the LFSA and shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Investment Manager. 

  
 -11- 

 12.     Power of Attorney; Further Assurances.

 In addition to the power of attorney granted to the Investment Manager in Section 1 of this Agreement, the Company
hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Investment Manager, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its name, place and stead, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement (a) to sign, execute, certify, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file, receive and record any and all documents which the Investment Manager reasonably deems necessary or appropriate in connection with its investment management duties
under this Agreement and (b) to (i) subject to any policies adopted by the Member or the Company with respect thereto, exercise in its discretion any voting or consent rights associated with any securities, instruments or obligations
included in the Company’s assets, (ii) execute proxies, waivers, consents and other instruments with respect to such securities, instruments or obligations, (iii) endorse, transfer or deliver such securities, instruments and
obligations and (iv) participate in or consent (or decline to consent) to any modification, work-out, restructuring, bankruptcy proceeding, class action, plan of reorganization, merger, combination, consolidation, liquidation or similar plan or
transaction with regard to such securities, instruments and obligations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this grant of power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and it shall survive and not be affected by the
subsequent dissolution or bankruptcy of the Company; provided that this grant of power of attorney will expire, and the Investment Manager will cease to have any power to act as the Company’s attorney-in-fact, upon termination of this
Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Company shall execute and deliver to the Investment Manager all such other powers of attorney, proxies, dividend and other orders, and all such instruments, as the Investment Manager may reasonably request
for the purpose of enabling the Investment Manager to exercise the rights and powers which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Agreement. Each of the Investment Manager and the Company shall take such other actions, and furnish such
certificates, opinions and other documents, as may be reasonably requested by the other party hereto in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and to facilitate compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the terms of this
Agreement. 
 13.     Amendment of this Agreement; Assignment. 

No provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. If the Company has outstanding any securities rated by a rating agency, the Company shall promptly provide a copy of any such amendment or
waiver to such rating agency. The Investment Manager may not, directly or indirectly, assign all or any part of its rights and duties under this Agreement to any Person without the prior consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent and the
Required Lenders. In accordance with the foregoing, the Investment Manager may transfer this Agreement or its rights and duties under this Agreement without obtaining the prior consent of the Company or providing prior notice to the Member in a
transaction that does not result in an Investment Manager Event of Default, change in control or management of the Investment Manager.

Section 12.1 of the LFSA with respect to the collateral

assignment of this Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any right of the Company to replace or terminate the Investment Manager; provided that, such collateral assignment
and such third party beneficiary rights shall automatically terminate upon the irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations as to which no claim has been made) and the termination of the Commitments in
full. 
 24.     Representations and Warranties of the Investment Manager. 

The Investment Manager represents, warrants and covenants as of the Effective Date and each Funding Date as to itself: 

(a)     Organization and Good Standing.    It has been duly organized and
is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is
currently conducted, and had at all relevant times; 
 (b)     Due
Qualification.    It is duly qualified to do business as a Maryland corporation in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions where the failure to do so would have a Material
Adverse Effect; 
 (c)     Power and Authority.    It has the power,
authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by the Investment Manager by all necessary corporate
action; 
 (d)     Binding Obligations.  This Agreement has been executed and
delivered by the Investment Manager and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be

enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and (C) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing; 

(e)     No Violation.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by
the Investment Manager, the Investment Manager’s consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Investment Manager’s fulfillment of the terms hereof do not (A) conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and
provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, its articles of amendment and restatement or amended and restated bylaws, or any material indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other material
instrument to which it is a party or by which it or its properties are bound, (B) result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such material indenture, agreement, mortgage,

subclause (C), to the extent that such conflict or violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 

(f)      No Proceedings.  There are no proceedings or investigations pending

consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or (C) seeking any determination or ruling that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 

(g)      No Consents.  No consent, license, approval, authorization or order
of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Official Body having jurisdiction over it or any of its properties is required to be made in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, in each case other than (A) consents, licenses, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations, declarations or filings which have been obtained or made and continuation statements and renewals in respect
thereof and (B) where the lack of such consents, licenses, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations, declarations or filings would not have a Material Adverse Effect; 

(h)      Investment Company Status.    It is not required to be
registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the 1940 Act; 

(i)       Information True and Correct.     All
information (other than any information provided to the Investment Manager by an un-Affiliated third party) heretofore or hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Investment Manager in writing to any Lender, the Collateral Agent or the
Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is and will be (when taken as a whole) true and correct in all material respects. With respect to any information received from any un-Affiliated third
party, the Investment Manager (i) will not furnish (and has not furnished) any such information to any Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby that it
knows (or knew) to be incorrect at the time such information is (or was) furnished in any material respect and (ii) has informed (or will inform) the applicable Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, of any
such information which it found to be incorrect in any material respect after such information was furnished. 

(j)       Reserved. 

(k)      Eligibility of Collateral Obligations.  All Collateral Obligations
included as Eligible Collateral Obligations in the calculation of the Borrowing Base in the most recently delivered Monthly Report are, to the knowledge of the Investment Manager, Eligible Collateral Obligations; 

(l)      Collections.  The Investment Manager acknowledges that all
Collections received by it or its Affiliates with respect to the Collateral are held and shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties until deposited into the Collection Account; and 

  
 -16- 

 (m)     Allocation of Charges.  There
is not any agreement or understanding between the Investment Manager and the Borrower (other than as expressly set forth herein or as consented to by the Administrative Agent), providing for the allocation or sharing of obligations to make payments
or otherwise in respect of any Taxes, fees, assessments or other governmental charges. 

25.     Managing REO Assets. 

(a)      If, in the reasonable business judgment of the Investment Manager, it becomes
necessary to foreclose upon or repossess from the applicable Obligor any real property securing any Collateral Obligation (each such Collateral Obligation, an “REO Asset”), the Investment Manager shall first cause the Borrower to
transfer and assign such Collateral Obligation (or the portion thereof owned by the Borrower) to a special purpose vehicle meeting the requirements of Section 10.5 of the LFSA and wholly owned by the Borrower (the “REO Asset
Owner”) using a contribution agreement reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. All equity interests of the REO Asset Owner acquired by the Borrower shall immediately become a part of the Collateral and be subject to the grant of
a security interest under Section 12.1 of the LFSA and shall be promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent, each undated and duly indorsed in blank. The REO Asset Owner shall be formed and operated pursuant to organizational documents
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. After execution thereof, the Investment Manager shall prevent the REO Asset Owner from agreeing to any amendment or other modification of the REO Asset Owner’s organizational documents without
first obtaining the written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Investment Manager shall cause each REO Asset to be serviced (i) in accordance with applicable laws, (ii) in accordance with the Investment Management Standard and
(iii) in accordance with the applicable REO Asset Owner’s limited liability company operating agreement (collectively, the “REO Investment Management Standard”). The Investment Manager will cause all “Distributable
Cash” (or comparable definition set forth in the REO Asset Owner’s organization documents) to be deposited into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof. 

(b)      In the event that title to any Related Property is acquired on behalf of the REO Asset
Owner for the benefit of its members in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of a REO Asset Owner. The Investment Manager shall
cause the REO Asset Owner to manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Asset for its members solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. 

(c)      Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
Investment Manager shall not (and shall not permit the REO Asset Owner to) obtain title to any Related Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest in any Obligor pledged
pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of Related Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Related Property
if, as a result of any such action, the REO Asset Owner would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of, such Related Property within the meaning of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any 

  
 -17- 

 
comparable state or local environmental law, unless the Investment Manager has previously determined in accordance with the REO Investment Management Standard, based on an updated Phase I
environmental assessment report generally prepared in accordance with the ASTM Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Standard E 1527-05, as may be amended or, with respect to residential property, a property inspection and title report, that: 

(i)      such Related Property is in compliance in all material respects with
applicable environmental laws, and 
 (ii)      there are no circumstances
present at such Related Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation would reasonably be expected to be required by the owner,
occupier or operator of the Related Property under applicable federal, state or local law or regulation. 

(d)      In the event that the Phase I or other environmental assessment first obtained by the
Investment Manager with respect to Related Property indicates that such Related Property may not be in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that hazardous materials may be present but does not definitively establish such fact, the
Investment Manager shall cause the Borrower to immediately sell the related Loan in accordance with Section 7.10 of the LFSA to the extent permitted thereunder. 

26.      No Proceedings. 

(a)      The Investment Manager hereby agrees that it will not institute against the Borrower,
or join any other Person in instituting against the Borrower, any insolvency proceeding (namely, any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of Insolvency Event) so long as any Advances or other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder
shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such Advances or other amounts shall be outstanding. The foregoing shall not limit the Investment Manager’s right to file any claim in or
otherwise take any action with respect to any insolvency proceeding that was instituted by any Person other than the Investment Manager. 

(b)      The Investment Manager hereby agrees that it will not institute against, or join any
other Person in instituting against any Conduit Lender, any insolvency proceeding (namely, any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of Insolvency Event) so long as any commercial paper note issued by such applicable Conduit Lender
shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such commercial paper notes shall be outstanding. 

27.      Confidentiality. 

The Investment Manager shall hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, the identity of any Lender or the terms of
any fees payable in connection with any Transaction Document except it may disclose such information (i) to its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, auditors, advisors, prospective lenders, equity investors or
representatives, (ii) with the consent of such Lender, (iii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through such Person,

  
 -18- 

 
(iv) to the extent the Investment Manager or any Affiliate deems disclosure reasonably prudent under, or should be required by, any law or regulation applicable to it, or (v) as requested by
any Official Body to disclose such information.
