Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned subscriber (the “Subscriber”) understands that Parkview Capital Credit, Inc., is a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) that has filed a registration statement on Form 10 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register its authorized shares of common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and, on a date following the date the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective, intends to elect to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Prior to and following the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC, the Company’s investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation primarily by making direct investments in lower middle-market companies in the form of subordinated debt and, to a lesser extent, senior debt and minority equity investments. In furtherance of its investment objective, the Company intends to provide customized debt and equity financing solutions to companies having annual earnings, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), of less than $25,000,000, and/or annual revenues of between $20,000,000 and $200,000,000 (“Lower Middle-Market Companies”), although the Company may opportunistically make investments in larger or smaller companies. The Company expects that its investments will typically range in size from $3 million to $10 million, although investment amounts may be smaller or larger than this range. In particular, the Company may make smaller investments in broadly syndicated loans in the early stages of its development. Capitalized terms used in this agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) without definition will have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offering Documents (as defined below). The distribution of this Subscription Agreement and the offer and sale of the Shares (as defined below) in certain jurisdiction may be restricted by law. This Subscription Agreement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Shares in any state or other jurisdiction where, or to or from any person to or from whom, such offer or solicitation is unlawful or not authorized. The Shares are offered subject to the right of the Company to reject any subscription in whole or in part.
FOR ALL SUBSCRIBERS

1. Subscription for Shares. The Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Shares”) through a capital contribution in the amount set forth above (the “Capital Contribution”), subject to Section 9.13, on the terms and conditions described or appearing herein, in the Registration Statement, in the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, dated as of March 11, 2015 (the “Charter”), in the Company’s Bylaws, dated as of March 11, 2015 (the “Bylaws”), in the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Company and Parkview Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), dated as of March 10, 2015 (the “Advisory Agreement”), in the Administration Agreement between the Company and Parkview Administrator, LLC (the “Administrator”), dated as of March 10, 2015 (the “Administration Agreement”), in the Summary of Terms attached hereto (the “Summary of Terms”), and, if subscription agreement is entered into after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, all periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as any such documents may be amended from time to time (all together, the “Offering Documents”). Subject to the terms of this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber’s obligation to pay for the Shares it is purchasing hereunder shall be unconditional, complete and binding upon the completion of the Initial Closing (as defined below).
2. Other Subscription Agreements. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company has entered into or expects to enter into separate subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and, together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with other subscribers (“Other Subscribers”), providing for the sale to Other Subscribers of Shares in the Company. This Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements are separate agreements, and the sales of Shares to the Subscriber and the sales of Shares to Other Subscribers are separate sales.
3. Closing. Subscriber shall be obligated to make the Capital Contribution as of the date that this Subscription Agreement (having been properly and fully completed and signed by the Subscriber) has been accepted by the Company (the date of such acceptance, which shall be indicated on the signature page hereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Closing Date”). All amounts necessary to satisfy the Capital Contribution must be provided to the Company within six (6) months from the date of the Initial Closing (the “Payment Period”). Each date on which funds are transferred to the Company during the Payment Period to satisfy the Capital Contribution will be a “Closing”. At each Closing, except for the Initial Closing, the Subscriber will provide an executed copy of the “Bring-Down Certificate” in the form attached hereto as Schedule 3 to this Subscription Agreement. Upon acceptance of the Bring-Down Certificate, the Company will issue Shares to Subscriber at a per share offering price of $10.00.
If the full amount of the Capital Contribution has not been paid by the Subscriber to the Company within the Payment Period, all remaining amounts shall be due upon expiration of the Payment Period. All Closings shall take place at the offices of the Company, or at such other location as may be notified by the Company to the Subscriber in writing.

4.1.2. If the Subscriber is an Individual: (a) the execution, delivery and performance by the Subscriber of this Subscription Agreement are within such person’s legal right and power, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official, or any third party, and do not and will not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law, rule or regulation or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon such Subscriber or any material agreement or other instrument to which the Subscriber is a party or by which the Subscriber or any of his respective properties is bound, other than contraventions or defaults that do not impair or otherwise affect the Subscriber’s ability to perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement or are not material to the Subscriber’s financial condition; and (b) this Subscription Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Subscriber enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with their respective terms, subject to any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally or to general principles of equity.

FOR ALL SUBSCRIBERS
-6- |
4.3. Acknowledgment of Risks; Access to Information. The Subscriber herby acknowledges it has been provided and has carefully reviewed the Offering Documents. The Subscriber understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the purchase of Shares, including, without limitation, the information appearing in the Registration Statement under the headings “Item 1: Business—Regulation as a Business Development Company,” “Item 1: Business—Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences,” “Item 1A: Risk Factors,” “Item 7: Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence” and “Item 11: Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered” and the information appearing in the Summary of Terms. Subscriber also has been afforded the opportunity to obtain any additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information in the Offering Documents to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company has answered all of the Subscriber’s inquiries, if any, concerning the business to be conducted by the Company, the financial condition and capital of the Company, the qualification and experience of the Company, the Advisor, the Administrator and their Affiliates, and the terms and conditions of the offering and other matters pertaining to this investment. In deciding to acquire Shares, the Subscriber has not relied upon any information or representation, whether written or oral, from the Company or any of its officers, employees, counsel, representatives or agents or any other person, other than information contained in the Offering Documents and in the answers provided by the Company to such inquiries.
4.4. Evaluation and Ability to Bear Risks. The Subscriber’s decision to invest in the Company was made by the Subscriber as person(s) who (a) are authorized to make such investment decisions, and (b) have relied on its or their own tax, legal and financial advisers with regard to all matters relating to the Subscriber’s investment in the Company (including federal, state, and local tax matters and tax matters relating to non-United States jurisdictions) and not on any advice or recommendation of the Company, Advisor, Administrator or any of its Affiliates, notwithstanding anything in Section 4.3 to the contrary. The Subscriber’s prior investment experience with other investment opportunities and its general knowledge about the management, proposed operations and prospects of the Company enable the Subscriber, together with the Subscriber’s advisers, to make an informed decision with respect to the merits and risks of an investment in the Company. After all necessary advice and analysis, the Subscriber has evaluated the risks of investing in the Shares and has determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Subscriber. The Subscriber has adequate means for providing for its current needs and personal or other contingencies and has no need for liquidity with regards to its investment in the Shares, and is able to bear the economic risk of its acquisition of the Shares, including a complete loss of its investment in the Company. The Subscriber understands that the Company does not now know what the capital to be contributed to the Company will be invested in or the total amount of capital the Company will have available to invest, and that the Company and Advisor will have complete control over the investments made by the Company. The Subscriber has not reproduced, duplicated or delivered the Offering Documents to any other person, except professional advisors to the Subscriber or as permitted in writing by the Company.
4.5. Purchase of an Investment. The Subscriber represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Shares for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution of all or any part of such Shares, and the Subscriber has no present intention, agreement or arrangement to divide its participation with others or to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, all or any part of such Shares. Further, Subscriber agrees that if it determines to transfer or assign any of its Shares of the Company pursuant to the provisions hereof, it will cause its proposed transferee to agree to the transfer restrictions and make the representations set forth herein. The Subscriber understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time, because, among other reasons, the offering and sale of the Shares are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), applicable state securities laws within the United States and securities laws of any non-U.S. jurisdictions, by virtue of the private placement exemption from registration provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and therefore any Shares acquired by the Subscriber may not be sold, offered for sale, exchanged, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of (each, a “Transfer”) in any manner that would require the Company to register the Shares under the Securities Act, under any applicable state securities laws within the United States or the securities laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction. The Subscriber understands that the Company requires each investor in the Company to be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act (“Accredited Investor”) and the Subscriber represents and warrants that it is an Accredited Investor.
FOR ALL SUBSCRIBERS

Other than as set forth herein and in the Offering Documents, the Subscriber is not relying upon any information (including, without limitation, any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, website or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, and any seminars or meetings whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or advertising) provided by the Company, the Advisor, any Affiliate of the foregoing or any agent of them, written or otherwise, in determining to invest in the Company.
The Subscriber understands that the Company will not be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Investment Company Act”) or regulated thereunder in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 3(c)(7) thereunder, until such time that the Company elects to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act. Shares acquired by the Subscriber may not be Transferred in any manner that would require the Company to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Subscriber understands that the Company will initially rely upon an exemption from registration which requires each Subscriber to be a “qualified purchaser” as defined in Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Act (a “Qualified Purchaser”) and the Subscriber represents and warrants that it is a Qualified Purchaser. The Subscriber understands that the Company intends to file an election to be treated as a regulated investment company within the meaning of Section 851 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes; pursuant to those elections, the Subscriber will be required to furnish certain information to the Company as required under Treasury Regulation § 1.852-6(a) and other regulations. If the Subscriber is unable or refuses to provide such information directly to the Company, the Subscriber understands that it will be required to include additional information on its income tax return as provided in Treasury Regulation § 1.852-7.
The Subscriber represents and warrants that the Subscriber: (i) is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act; (ii) has not elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act; and (iii) either (A) is not relying on the exception from the definition of “investment company” under the Investment Company Act set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) thereunder or (B) is otherwise permitted to acquire and hold more than 3% of the outstanding voting securities of a business development company.
4.6. Jurisdiction Governing Subscription.

The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company is relying on such information in connection with (a) the Subscriber becoming a shareholder of the Company, (b) not registering the offer and sale of the Shares under the Securities Act or any state or foreign securities laws, (c) not registering the Company under the Investment Company Act, (d) avoiding violations of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and Code Section 4975 (e.g. prohibited transactions involving retirement accounts and other employee benefit plans – see Section 4.11herein) and other comparable laws applicable to employee benefit plans not subject to ERISA, and (e) the management of the Company’s business. If at any time during the term of the Company any of the representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement (including the Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto) shall cease to be true, the Subscriber will promptly notify the Company in writing.
