			4.       Compliance with Laws.

			5.       Compliance with Obligations to Third Parties. Consultant represents and warrants to Voyager that the terms of this Agreement and Consultant’s performance of Services do not and will not conflict with any of Consultant’s obligations to any third parties. Consultant represents that Consultant has not brought and will not bring with Consultant to Voyager or use in the performance of Services any equipment, funds, space, personnel, facilities, confidential information, trade secrets or other resources of any third party which are not generally available to the public, unless Consultant has obtained written authorization for their possession and use, nor will Consultant take any other action that would result in a third party, including without limitation, an employer of Consultant, asserting ownership of, or other rights in, any Work Product, unless agreed upon in writing in advance by Voyager.  To the extent Consultant is subject to any policy of his employer that requires approval of agreements governing external consulting services, Consultant represents that such approval has been given and covenants that such approval will be obtained prior to entering into any amendment to this Agreement requiring such approval.  Consultant will notify Voyager immediately of any breach of this Section 5.
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.       Work Product.  Consultant will promptly and fully disclose in confidence to Voyager all inventions, discoveries, improvements, ideas, concepts, designs, processes, formulations, products, computer programs, works of authorship, databases, mask works, trade secrets, know-how, information, data, documentation, reports, research, creations and other products arising from or made in the performance of (solely or jointly with others) the Services (whether or not patentable or subject to copyright or trade secret protection) (collectively, the “Work Product”).  Consultant assigns and agrees to assign to Voyager all rights in the United States and throughout the world to Work Product.  Consultant will keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Work Product, and such records will be available to and remain the sole property of Voyager at all times.  For purposes of the copyright laws of the United States, Work Product will constitute “works made for hire,” except to the extent such Work Product cannot by law be “works

			made for hire”.  Consultant represents and warrants that Consultant has and will have the right to transfer and assign to Voyager ownership of all Work Product.  Consultant will execute all documents, and take any and all actions needed, all without further consideration, in order to confirm Voyager’s rights as outlined above.  In the event that Consultant should fail or refuse to execute such documents within a reasonable time, Consultant appoints Voyager as attorney to execute and deliver any such documents on Consultant’s behalf.
		

		
			 
		

		
			7.       Confidentiality & Non-Use. During the Term and thereafter,  except as otherwise permitted as set forth below, Consultant agrees to (a) hold the Confidential Information in confidence; (b) exercise reasonable precautions to physically protect the integrity and confidentiality of the Confidential Information;  (c) not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of Voyager; (d) not use the Confidential Information for any purpose except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing Services without the prior written consent of Voyager; (e) treat Confidential Information with no less than a reasonable degree of care; and (f) reproduce Confidential Information solely to the extent necessary to provide the Services, with all such reproductions being considered Confidential Information.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Voyager’s “Confidential Information” means (i) all Work Product; (ii) all information contained in or comprised of Voyager Property (defined in Section 8); and (iii) all confidential and proprietary data, trade secrets, business plans, and other information of a confidential or proprietary nature in written, electronic or other media, belonging to Voyager or its subsidiaries or third parties with whom Voyager may have business dealings, disclosed or otherwise made available to Consultant by Voyager or on behalf of Voyager in connection with this Agreement and/or Consultant’s services hereunder. Consultant’s obligations of non-disclosure and non-use under this Agreement will not apply to any portion of Confidential Information that Consultant establishes by competent proof: (a) was in the public domain at the time of disclosure through no wrongful act on the part of Consultant; (b) after disclosure, becomes part of the public domain by publication or otherwise, except by a wrongful act on the part of Consultant; ; (c) becomes known to Consultant on a non-confidential basis through disclosure by sources other than Voyager having the legal right to disclose such Confidential Information; or (d) is independently developed by Consultant without reference to or reliance upon Confidential Information.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Nothing in this Agreement prohibits Consultant from communicating with government agencies about possible violations of federal, state, or local laws or otherwise providing information to government agencies, filing a complaint with government agencies, or participating in government agency investigations or proceedings.  Consultant is not required to notify the Company of any such communications; provided, however, that nothing herein authorizes the disclosure of information Consultant obtained through a communication that was subject to the attorney-client privilege.  Further, notwithstanding Consultant’s confidentiality and nondisclosure obligations, Consultant is hereby advised as follows pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act: “An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.  An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			8.       Voyager Property. All documents, data, records, apparatus, equipment and other physical property furnished or made available by or on behalf of Voyager to Consultant in connection with this Agreement (“Voyager Property”) shall be and remain the sole property of Voyager and shall be returned promptly to
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			Page 3 of 7

		

		

			Confidential

		

 

		

		
			 
		

		
			Voyager if requested. In any event, Consultant shall return and deliver all Voyager  Property, including any copies thereof, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, irrespective of the reason for such termination.  Consultant will use Voyager Property only as necessary to perform the Services and will not transfer or make available to any third party the Voyager Property without the express prior written consent of Voyager.  Consultant recognizes that Voyager’s facilities are private and Consultant will abide by Voyager's security requirements and conditions for access and usage and agrees that only those subjects, areas and programs designated by Voyager as necessary to fulfill Voyager’s requirements will be accessed and/or perused Consultant.  In no event will any Confidential Information, programs or other information be copied or removed without Voyager's express written approval.
		

		
			 
		

		
			9.       Publication; Publicity.  Work Product may not be published or referred to, in whole or in part, by Consultant without the prior express written consent of Voyager. Consultant shall not use the name, logo, trade name, service mark, or trademark, or any simulation, abbreviation, or adaptation of same, or the name of Voyager or its subsidiaries for publicity, promotion, or similar non-regulatory uses without Voyager’s prior written consent.
		

		
			 
		

		
			10.     Independent Contractor Relationship. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute Consultant an employee of Voyager, it being the intent of the parties to establish an independent contractor relationship, nor shall Consultant have authority to bind Voyager in any manner whatsoever by reason of this Agreement. Consultant shall at all times while on Voyager premises observe all security and safety policies of Voyager. Consultant is excluded from participating in any fringe benefit plans or programs as a result of the performance of the Services, without regard to Consultant’s independent contractor status, including, but not limited to, health, sickness, accident or dental coverage, life insurance, disability benefits, accidental death and dismemberment coverage, unemployment insurance coverage, workers’ compensation coverage, 401(k) benefit(s), and any other benefits provided by Voyager to its employees.  Consultant agrees, as an independent contractor, that Consultant is not entitled to unemployment benefits in the event this Agreement terminates, or workers’ compensation benefits in the event that Consultant is injured in any manner or becomes ill while performing the Services under this Agreement.  Because Consultant is an independent contractor, Voyager will not make any withholdings, deductions, or contributions (e.g., social security, unemployment insurance, disability insurance) from Consultant’s fees, and will report Consultant’s fees and other payments to Consultant on a 1099 form.  Consultant shall bear sole responsibility for paying and reporting its own applicable federal and state income taxes, social security taxes, unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation, and health or disability insurance, retirement benefits, and other welfare or pension benefits, if any, and shall indemnify and hold Voyager harmless from and against any liability with respect thereto.
		

		
			 
		

		
			11.     Notices.  All notices required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing.  Any notice given under this Agreement shall be deemed delivered when delivered by hand, by certified mail, by air courier or via facsimile to the parties at their respective addresses set forth above or at such other address as either party may provide to the other in writing from time to time. Notices will be effective upon receipt or at a later date stated in the notice.
		

		
			 
		

		
			12.     Assignment. The rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by Consultant, and Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement may not be subcontracted or delegated by Consultant, without the prior written consent of Voyager. For clarity, this Agreement may be assigned by Voyager with prompt notice of such assignment to Consultant.
		

		
			 
		

		
			13.     Specific Enforcement. Consultant acknowledges that Voyager will have no adequate remedy at law in the event Consultant breaches the terms of Sections 4 through 9. In addition to any other rights it may have,
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			Page 4 of 7

		

		

			Confidential

		

 

		

		
			 
		

		
			Voyager shall have the right to obtain in any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive or other relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			14.     Prior Agreements; Governing Law; Severability; Amendment. This Agreement embodies the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that Consultant’s obligations pursuant to Sections 6, 7 and 8 hereunder are in addition to any and all similar ongoing obligations that Consultant has to Voyager pursuant to the Retirement Agreement and/or the Restrictive Covenants Agreement referenced therein.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to any choice of law principle that would dictate the application of the law of another jurisdiction, and Consultant submits to the jurisdiction and agrees to the proper venue of all state and federal courts located within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each provision in this Agreement is independent and severable from the others, and no provision will be rendered unenforceable because any other provision is found by a proper authority to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.  If any provision of this Agreement is found by such an authority to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision and the intent of the parties, within the limits of applicable law. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which together will be deemed to be one and the same instrument.  A facsimile or electronic copy of this Agreement, including the signature pages, will be deemed an original.  This Agreement may not be amended, and its terms may not be waived, except pursuant to a written amendment or waiver signed by both parties.
		

		
			 
		

		
			15.     Insurance. Consultant shall maintain such insurance as shall be reasonably necessary to insure itself against any claim or claims for damages arising out of the Services or this Agreement. Consultant shall provide evidence of such coverage to the Voyager upon request.
		

		
			 
		

		
			16.     Certain Other Conflicts of Interest; Trading in Voyager Securities.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)     Consultant represents that, except as disclosed in writing to Voyager, Consultant: (i) does not own directly or indirectly five percent (5%) or more of the stock or other equity securities of any entity which is a present or prospective competitor, customer or supplier of Voyager; (ii) is not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against Consultant, or any reasonable basis for such proceedings, which (1) would conflict with Consultant’s obligations hereunder or question the validity of this Agreement; or (2) may materially or adversely affect the business or prospects of Voyager; and (iii) is not aware of any fact concerning Consultant (either professionally or personally) which may materially or adversely affect the business or prospects of Voyager.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)     Consultant is aware that the United States and other applicable securities laws prohibit any person who has material, non-public information about a company from purchasing or selling securities of such company or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.  Consultant may gain access to information in connection with the provision of Services that could potentially subject Consultant to insider trading liability (as defined under the US federal securities laws and regulations adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission) in connection with trading in Voyager securities.  Consultant shall comply with all relevant laws respecting any trading in Voyager securities.

			ConfidentialAmended and Restated Dividend Reinvestment Plan

 AMENDED AND RESTATED DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN 

OF 
 AB PRIVATE CREDIT
INVESTORS CORPORATION 
 Effective as of August 6, 2018 

AB Private Credit Investors Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), hereby adopts the following
plan (the “Plan”) with respect to cash dividend distributions declared by its Board of Directors on shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”).

 1. Unless a stockholder specifically elects to have any portion of its cash dividend distributions reinvested by the Company in the
Company’s Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 3 below, all cash dividend distributions hereafter declared by the Company’s Board of Directors shall be paid in cash to each stockholder, and no action shall be required on such
stockholder’s part to receive such cash. 
 2. Such cash dividend distributions shall be payable on such date or dates (each, a
“Payment Date”) as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors to stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date(s) established by the Board of Directors for the cash dividend distribution
involved. 
 3. Prior to the initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock, the Company intends to use primarily newly issued
shares of its Common Stock to implement the Plan. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to a stockholder that has elected to have its cash dividend distributions reinvested in accordance with this paragraph 3 (each, a
“Participant”) shall be the amount determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such Participant by the net asset value per share of the Company’s Common Stock as of the Payment Date as
determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof (the “Payment Date NAV”); provided further that the number of shares to be issued to a Participant pursuant to the foregoing shall be rounded downward
to the nearest whole number to avoid the issuance of fractional shares, it being understood that any fractional share otherwise issuable to a Participant but for this proviso shall instead be paid to such Participant in cash. To exercise the option
of having its cash dividend distributions reinvested, such stockholder shall notify the Company and State Street Bank and Trust Company (referred to as the “Plan Administrator”), in writing (using the form of
notice set forth as an appendix to the Subscription Agreement signed by such stockholder or any other form of notice as distributed to such stockholder by the Company) so that such notice is received by the Plan Administrator no later than 10 days
prior to the record date fixed by the Board of Directors for the first distribution such stockholder wishes to have its cash dividend distribution reinvested. Such election shall remain in effect until the stockholder shall notify the Plan
Administrator in writing of such stockholder’s desire to change its election, which notice shall be delivered to the Plan Administrator no later than 10 days prior to the record date fixed by the Board of Directors for the first distribution
for which such stockholder wishes its new election to take effect. 
 4. Shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan in connection
with any cash dividend shall be issued to each Participant (i) in the event that the Payment Date NAV has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) prior to the Payment Date of such cash dividend, on the
Payment Date or (ii) otherwise, promptly upon the date such approval has been provided by the Company’s Board of Directors. All shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan shall be issued in
non-certificated form and shall be credited to such Participant on the books and records of the Company. Cash payable to a Participant in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to paragraph 3 shall be paid
contemporaneously with the issuance of such shares in connection with such cash dividend. 
 5. The Plan Administrator will confirm to each
Participant each issuance of shares of Common Stock made to such Participant pursuant to the Plan as soon as practicable following the date of such issuance. 

6. The Plan Administrator’s service fee, if any, and expenses for administering the Plan will be paid for by the Company. There will be
no brokerage charges or other charges to stockholders who participate in the Plan. 

 7. The Plan may be terminated by the Company upon notice in writing mailed to each
Participant at least 30 days prior to the effectiveness of such termination. 
 8. These terms and conditions may be amended or supplemented
by the Company at any time. Any such amendment or supplement may include an appointment by the Plan Administrator in its place and stead of a successor agent under the terms and conditions agreed upon by the Company, with full power and authority to
perform all or any of the acts to be performed by the Plan Administrator as agreed to by the Company. 
 9. The Plan Administrator will at
all times act in good faith and use its best efforts within reasonable limits to ensure its full and timely performance of all services to be performed by it under this Plan and to comply with applicable law, but assumes no responsibility and shall
not be liable for loss or damage due to errors. 
 10. These terms and conditions shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York,
without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof, to the extent such principles would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
