NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. | Amendment to Section 1(a). |
a. | This section shall be removed and replaced in its entirety as follows: “On a quarterly basis, FSH shall reimburse the Company for operating expenses in an amount equal to the difference between the Company’s cumulative distributions paid to the Company’s common shareholders in each calendar quarter less Available Operating Funds (defined below) received by the Company on account of its investment portfolio during such calendar quarter. Any payments required to be made by FSH pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be referred to herein as an “Expense Payment.” ” |
2. | Amendment to Section 2(a). |
a. | This section shall be removed and replaced in its entirety as follows: “Following any calendar quarter in which Available Operating Funds exceed the cumulative ordinary cash distributions paid by the Company on its common shares in such quarter (the amount of such excess being hereinafter referred to as “Excess Operating Funds”), the Company shall pay such Excess Operating Funds, or a portion thereof in accordance with Sections 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d), as applicable, to FSH until such time as all Expense Payments made by FSH to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter have been reimbursed. Any payments required to be made by the Company pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be referred to herein as a “Reimbursement Payment.” ” |
3. | Amendment to Section 2(c). |
a. | The third to last sentence of this section shall be removed and replaced in its entirety as follows: “For purposes of this Agreement, “Other Operating Expenses” means the Company’s total Operating Expenses (as defined below), excluding the base management fees, incentive fees, organization and offering expenses, financing fees and costs, interest expense, dividends paid on the Company’s preferred shares and extraordinary expenses.” |

b. Effect on the Agreement. Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement in all other respects remain unmodified and in full force and effect. On and after the date hereof, each reference in the Agreement to “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereunder” or words of similar import shall mean and be a reference to the Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

If any particular provision of this Amendment shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom the portion thus adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such amendment to apply only to the operation of such provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.
