to regulation under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); provided, however, that
investments by individual retirement accounts or other similar arrangements are permitted.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Investor has made or makes any representations or
warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set
forth in this Section 3.2. or as set forth in the subscription documents for the Common
Shares (including the Investor Questionnaire and the representations, warranties, acknowledgements
and agreements of the Investor included therein).
3.3. Representations and Warranties of the Adviser. The Adviser hereby makes the
following representations and warranties to each Investor with the intention and understanding that
such representations and warranties are made as of the Closing Date:
(a) Organization and Qualification. The Adviser is validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with the requisite limited liability company
power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as
currently conducted. The Adviser is not in violation of any of the provisions of its organization
documents. The Adviser is duly qualified to conduct its business and is in good
12
standing as a foreign limited liability company or other entity in each jurisdiction in which
the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary,
except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Adviser has the requisite limited liability
company power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement and otherwise to carry
out its obligations thereunder. Prior to Closing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement by the Adviser have been duly
authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Adviser and no
further limited liability company action is required by the Adviser in connection therewith. When
executed by the Adviser, and delivered in accordance with the terms thereof, this Agreement and the
Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement will constitute the valid and binding
obligation of the Adviser, enforceable against the Adviser in accordance with its terms, except as
(i) such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of,
creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application, or (ii) the
rights to indemnification and contribution may be limited by equitable principles of general
applicability or by Federal or state securities laws or the policies underlying such laws.
(c) No Conflicts; Filings, Consents and Approvals; Regulatory Permits.
(1) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Investment Advisory and
Administrative Services Agreement by the Adviser and the consummation by the Adviser of the
transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (a) conflict with or violate any provision of
the Adviser’s organization documents, or (b) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event
that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of
time or both) of, any material agreement, lease, license, indenture, note, bond, permit,
concession, franchise or other instrument (evidencing a Adviser debt or otherwise) or other
understanding to which the Adviser is a party or by which any property or asset of the Adviser is
bound or affected, or (c) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment,
injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Adviser
is subject (including Federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property
or asset of the Adviser is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (b) and (c),
such as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.
(2) The Adviser is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give
any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any United States court or other Federal,
state, local or other governmental authority or other Person in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance by the Adviser of this Agreement or the Investment Advisory and
Administrative Services Agreement, other than registration as an investment adviser under the
applicable Federal and state laws. The Adviser possesses all
13
certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate Federal, state, local or
foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct its business, except (i) registration as an
investment adviser under applicable Federal and state laws, and (ii) where the failure to possess
such permits could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, and the Adviser has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the
revocation or modification of any such permits.
(d) Litigation. There is no Action pending, or threatened in writing, against or
affecting the Adviser or its properties or adversely affecting or challenging the legality,
validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the Investment Advisory and Administrative Services
Agreement, which, if there were an unfavorable decision, individually or in the aggregate, would
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Adviser nor any
director or officer thereof (in his or her capacity as such), is or has been the subject of any
Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under Federal or state securities laws or a
claim of breach of fiduciary duty. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Adviser, there
is not pending any investigation by the Commission involving the Adviser or any current or former
director or officer of the Adviser (in his or her capacity as such).
(e) Compliance with Applicable Laws. The Adviser (i) is not in default under or in
violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time
or both, would result in a default by the Adviser under), nor has the Adviser received notice of a
claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit
agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its
properties is bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is not in
violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is not or has not
been in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, except in each
case as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.
(f) Registered Investment Adviser. The Adviser is not duly registered under the
Advisers Act but intends to register as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act within three
(3) calendar months following the date of this Agreement. The Adviser is not prohibited by the
Advisers Act, the 1940 Act or the published rules and regulations thereunder from acting under the
Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement. There does not exist any Proceeding or,
to the Adviser’s knowledge, any facts or circumstances the existence of which reasonably would be
likely to lead to any Proceedings which might adversely affect the registration of the Adviser with
the Commission.
Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Adviser has not made nor makes any representations
or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically
set forth in this Section 3.3.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1. Transfer Restrictions.
(a) The Common Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and Federal securities
laws. In connection with any transfer of the Common Shares other than pursuant to an effective
registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate of an Investor or in connection with a
pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to
provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of
which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer
does not require registration of such transferred Common Shares under the Securities Act.
(b) Certificates evidencing the Common Shares will contain the following legend, until such
time as the legend is not required under Section 4.1(d):
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE
SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR
SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO
AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF
THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL
OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN
ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge, and/or
grant a security interest in some or all of the Common Shares pursuant to a bona fide margin
agreement in connection with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such
agreement or account, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Common Shares to the pledgees
or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval or consent of the
Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be
required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in connection with a
subsequent transfer following default by the Investor transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be
required of such pledge. At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and
deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Common Shares may reasonably
request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Common Shares, including the preparation and
filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other
applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders
thereunder. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(d), any Common Shares subject to a
pledge or security
15
interest as contemplated by this Section 4.1(b) shall continue to bear the legend set
forth in this Section 4.1(b) and be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in
Section 4.1(a).
(d) The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate
without such legend to the holder of the Common Shares upon which it is stamped, if, unless
otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) such Common Shares are registered for resale under
the Securities Act, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder
provides the Company with an opinion of a law firm reasonably acceptable to the Company, in a
generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Common
Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, or
(iii) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurance that the Common Shares can be
sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144.
(e) The Company has not registered with the Commission as an investment company pursuant to
the 1940 Act in reliance on the exemption contained in Section 3(c)(1) thereunder. As a result,

until the Company elects to be regulated as a business development company: (i) the Company intends
to limit the ownership of its common stock to no more than 100 beneficial owners who meet the other
conditions described in Section 3(c)(1) of the 1940 Act, (ii) any transfer that would result in the
Company’s common stock (including the Common Shares offered hereby) being held by more than 100
beneficial owners will be void and any intended recipient of shares in violation of such provisions
will acquire no rights in such shares and will not be treated as stockholder for any purpose, (iii)
during the time that the Company is relying on Section 3(c)(1) exemption under the 1940 Act, if
such Investor is not a natural person, the beneficial owners of the equity securities of the
Investor does not, and will not, exceed five natural persons, directly or indirectly through
intermediary entities, and (iv) the Company will not sell, and is not soliciting any offers to buy,
Common Shares from any person or entity that is a benefit plan investor within the meaning of
applicable Department of Labor regulations, whether or not subject to regulation under the ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code; provided, however, that investments by individual retirement accounts or
other similar arrangements are permitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall retain
the authority to waive any such restrictions, in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that
any such waiver will not result in the loss of the exemption contained in Section 3(c)(1) of the
1940 Act or otherwise violate applicable law.
4.2. Reservation of Securities. The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly
authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement in such
amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations to issue such Common Shares under this
Agreement.
4.3. Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to
buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities
Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Common Shares in a manner that would
require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Common Shares to the
Investors.
16
4.4. Form N-2 Registration Statement; BDC Election. Within sixty (60) calendar days
following the final closing of the Offering, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission

Company shall also file its election to be regulated as a business development company on Form
N-54A with the Commission. The Company shall respond as promptly as reasonably possible, and in
any event within ten (10) business days (except to the extent that the Company reasonably requires
additional time to respond to accounting comments), to any comments received from the Commission
with respect to the Form N-2 Registration Statement or any amendment thereto.
4.5. Form D and Blue Sky. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the
Common Shares as required under Regulation D under the Securities Act and to provide a copy thereof

Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to obtain an
exemption for, or to qualify the Common Shares for, sale to the Investors at each Closing pursuant
to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States
(or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action
so taken to each requesting Investor on or prior to each such Closing Date. The Company shall make
all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Common Shares required under
applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States within such time
periods as required under such laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly
disclose the name of any Investor, or include the name of any Investor in any filing with the
Commission (other than the Form N-2 Registration Statement and any exhibits to filings made in
respect of this transaction in accordance with periodic filing requirements under the Exchange Act)
or any regulatory agency or OTC Bulletin Board, without the prior written consent of such Investor,
except to the extent such disclosure is required by law or regulations.
4.6 Indemnification of Investors.
(a) The Company will indemnify and hold the Investors and their respective directors,
officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, an “Investor Party”, collectively,
the “Investor Parties”) harmless from any and all Losses that any such Investor Party may suffer or
incur as a result of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement. In addition

reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation, preparation and
travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred.

Proceeding (including separate Proceedings that have been or will be consolidated before a single
judge) be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time
for all Investor Parties, which firm shall be appointed by a majority of the Investor Parties.
17
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no party shall be entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement in violation of the 1940 Act or the Advisers Act.
4.7. Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that from and after the
final Closing under this Agreement neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will
provide any Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes
constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Investor shall have executed
a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company
understands and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing representations in
effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
4.8. Use of Proceeds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of
the Common Shares hereunder to (i) enter into letters of intent with potential portfolio companies,
(ii) pay management and incentive fees to the Adviser as the Company’s investment adviser for
investment advisory services, (iii) pay administrative expenses incurred on behalf of the Company

the Company will invest the net proceeds primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government
securities and other high-quality investments that mature in one year or less from the date of
investment. The Company will not use the net proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares for the
satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables and accrued
expenses in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and consistent with prior practices), or
to redeem any Common Stock.
4.9. D&O Insurance; Indemnity Agreements. The Company: (i) within ninety (90) days of
the Final Closing of the Offering, shall obtain directors and officers insurance coverage for its
directors and officers in coverage and amounts determined reasonably sufficient by the Company’s

6.9. Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement
and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to the principles of conflicts of
law thereof. Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement

state or Federal courts sitting in Orange County, California (“California Courts”). Each party
hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
21
California Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or
with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the

6.10. Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained
herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Common Shares.
6.11. Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of
which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective
when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being
understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature
is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation
of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and
effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
6.12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt
to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon
so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
6.13. Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) this Agreement, whenever any Investor
exercises a right, election, demand or option under this Agreement and the Company does not timely
perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Investor may rescind
or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any
relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and
rights.
22
6.14. Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any
Common Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be
issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and
substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such
circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such
replacement Common Shares. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Common Shares
is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated
certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
6.15. Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein
or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will be
entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The parties agree that monetary damages may
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described
in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any
such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
6.16. Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments
to any Investor pursuant to this Agreement or an Investor enforces or exercises its rights
thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any
part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside,
recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the
Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any
bankruptcy law, state or Federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent
of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
6.17. Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of
each Investor under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other
Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of
any other Investor under this Agreement. The decision of each Investor to purchase Common Shares
pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor.
Nothing contained herein or in this Agreement, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such
