Drawdowns (a) With respect to drawdowns by the Company, each Subscriber will be required to fund drawdowns to purchase Shares (a “Drawdown Purchase”) up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitment each time the Company delivers a notice (a “Drawdown Notice”). Drawdown Notices will specify (i) the amount of the Drawdown (the “Drawdown Amount”); (ii) the portion of the Drawdown Amount to be paid by such Subscriber; (iii) the estimated number of Shares to be purchased by such Subscriber; and (iv) the date (the “Drawdown Date”) on which such Drawdown Amount is due. On the Drawdown Date, if, in connection with a per share price adjustment described in paragraph 4(b) below, the number of Shares to be purchased by a Subscriber differs from the amount set forth in the Drawdown Notice, the Company will deliver to the Subscriber an additional notice setting forth the actual number of Shares to be purchased by such Subscriber. Drawdown Notices will be delivered to each Subscriber at least seven business days prior to the Drawdown Date. All purchases pursuant to a Drawdown Notice will generally be made pro rata, in accordance with the remaining Capital Commitments of all Subscriber. To accommodate the legal, tax, regulatory or fiscal concerns of certain prospective investors, the Company may determine to allow certain investors to fully fund their Capital Commitment at one point in time, in lieu of sequential drawdowns of the Capital Commitment as described in this Section 4. No Subscriber shall be required to invest more than the total amount of its Capital Commitment.
(b) The initial price of Shares is $20.00 per share on the initial Drawdown Date. For each subsequent Drawdown Date, the price per share shall equal the Company’s net asset value per share as of the close of the last calendar quarter preceding the applicable Drawdown Date, subject to the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof making a determination, no later than 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) prior to the Drawdown Date or the Catch-up Date, as applicable, that the Company is not selling Shares at a price per Share that is below its then-current net asset value per Share.
(c) Each Drawdown Amount shall be payable in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds. Payment of a Drawdown Amount shall be made on or prior to the applicable Drawdown Date and as promptly as possible after delivery of a Drawdown Notice. The delivery of a Drawdown Notice to the Subscriber shall be the sole and exclusive condition to its irrevocable and unconditional obligation to pay the Drawdown Amount, without any right of offset, reduction, counterclaim or defense.
(d) Concurrent with any payment of all or a portion of the amount of a Drawdown Amount, the Company shall issue to the Subscriber a number of Shares equal to (i) the amount of such Drawdown Amount funded by the Subscriber on the applicable Drawdown Date divided by (ii) the price per Share as determined above. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not issue Shares for any portion of the Subscriber’s Capital Commitment that has not been paid to the Company and used to purchase Shares pursuant to one or more Drawdown Notices (the “Undrawn Capital Commitment”).
(e) The Company retains the right to exclude any Subscriber from purchasing Shares on any Drawdown Date if, in the Company’s reasonable discretion, there is a substantial likelihood that such Subscriber’s purchase of Shares at such time would (i) result in a violation of, or noncompliance with, any law or regulation to which such Subscriber, the Company, the Adviser, any other Subscriber or a portfolio company of the Company would be subject, (ii) subject the Company, the Adviser or any other Subscriber or a portfolio company to any material filing requirement or regulatory requirement or material tax or withholding requirement, (iii) cause the investments of “Benefit Plan Investors” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and certain Department of Labor regulations) to be significant and the Company’s assets to be considered “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (iv) impair, delay or otherwise have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to make or continue to hold an investment or require the Adviser to modify the terms of an investment in a manner materially adverse to the Company. Accordingly, the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Company may, in its reasonable discretion, from time to time require Drawdown Purchases from other investors and not the Subscriber. Accordingly, Drawdown Notices may be issued to only certain investors and stockholders of the Company (including or excluding the Subscriber) from time to time and require a purchase of Shares by such investors in amounts determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion.
(f) The Subscriber specifically agrees and consents that the Company may, at any time, without further notice to or consent from the Subscriber (except to the extent otherwise provided in this Subscription Agreement), grant security over and, in connection therewith, Transfer (as defined below) its right to draw down capital from the Subscriber pursuant to this Section 4, the Company’s right to receive the Drawdown Purchase (and any related rights of the Company), to lenders or other creditors of the Company, in connection with any indebtedness, guarantee or surety of the Company; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such grantee’s right to draw down capital shall be subject to the limitations on the Company’s right to draw down capital pursuant to this Section 4.
(g) In connection with any credit facility, the Subscriber, subject to the other terms of this Subscription Agreement, (i) acknowledges and confirms that (1) under the terms of and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement, such Subscriber is and shall remain obligated to fund its unfunded Capital Commitment required on account of capital calls duly made in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, without setoff, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation any defense of fraud or mistake, or any defense under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, including Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; provided that such agreement to fund, without defense, counterclaim or offset, shall not act as a waiver of any claim such Subscriber may have against any other Subscriber, the Company, the Adviser or a lender under any such credit facility (a “Lender”); (2) this Subscription Agreement constitute such Subscriber’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against such Subscriber in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity; and (3) the Lender is extending credit to the Company in reliance on such Subscriber’s funding of its Capital Commitments as such Lender’s primary source of repayment; (ii) agrees that such Subscriber will honor capital calls made by a Lender, or any agent acting on behalf of such Lender (an “Agent”), in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement; (iii) acknowledges and consents to the pledge of assets of the Company, including, without limitation, security (including an assignment by way of security) granted by the Company over all or a portion of the Company’s rights contained the Company Documents and this Subscription Agreement, the right to deliver written notices of a call for capital contributions and receive additional capital contributions and enforce all remedies against Subscribers that fail to fund their respective unfunded Capital Commitments in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement; (iv) acknowledges and consents that for so long as any credit facility is in place, the Company may agree with the Lender not to amend, modify, supplement, cancel, reduce or suspend any of such Subscriber’s obligations to fund its Capital Commitment or other payment obligations under this Subscription Agreement or the Company Documents without the Lender’s prior written consent; (v) acknowledges and confirms that, for so long as the credit facility is in place, all payments made by such Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement will, if the Lender so directs, be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account established by the Company which the Company may also pledge to any Lender for the benefit of the Lender to secure all obligations of the Company under the credit facility, including the payment obligations relating to loans made under the credit facility; and (vi) acknowledges and agrees that (1) any excuse right, exclusion right or other limitation with respect to any Drawdown Purchase shall not be applicable with respect to any capital call the purpose of which is to repay amounts due under the credit facility, regardless of whether the related capital call is issued by the Lender under the credit facility; and (2) in the event such Subscriber is entitled to Transfer its Shares or withdraw from the Company pursuant to any provision of this Subscription Agreement, prior to the effectiveness of such Transfer or withdrawal, as applicable, such Subscriber shall be obligated to fund such Drawdown Purchase as may be required under the terms of the credit facility as a result of such Transfer or withdrawal (but in no event in excess of such Subscriber’s unfunded Capital Commitment). For the avoidance of doubt, for all purposes under this Subscription Agreement, payments made by Subscribers directly to a Lender, Agent or account pursuant to written notice of a call for capital contribution issued in accordance with this Section 4(g) shall be treated as if such payments had been made directly to the Company by the Subscribers pursuant to a written notice of a call for capital contribution issued by the Company, and the Company shall make such adjustments as necessary or appropriate to effect such treatment.
