Ladies and Gentlemen:

Each of Source Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Fund”), and First Pacific Advisors, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Adviser”), hereby confirms the agreement with and appointment of UBS Securities LLC to act as dealer manager (the “Dealer Manager”) in connection with the issuance by the Fund to the holders of record (the “Record Date Shareholders”) at the close of business on the record date set forth in the Prospectus (as defined herein) (the “Record Date”) transferable rights entitling such Record Date Shareholders to subscribe for up to [·] shares (each a “Share” and, collectively, the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Shares”), of the Fund (the “Offer”). Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, the Fund is issuing each Record Date Shareholder one transferable right (each a “Right” and, collectively, the “Rights”) for each Common Share held by such Record Date Shareholder on the Record Date. Such Rights entitle their holders to acquire during the subscription period set forth in the Prospectus (the “Subscription Period”), at the price set forth in such Prospectus (the “Subscription Price”), one Share for every three Rights exercised (except that any Record Date Shareholder who owns fewer than three Common Shares as of the Record Date will be able to subscribe for one full Share pursuant to the primary subscription), on the terms and conditions set forth in such Prospectus. No fractional shares will be issued. Any Record Date Shareholder who fully exercises all Rights initially issued to such Record Date Shareholder (other than those Rights that cannot be exercised because they represent the right to acquire less than one Share) will be entitled to subscribe for, subject to certain limitations and subject to allocation, additional Shares (the “Over-Subscription Privilege”), on the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus. The Rights are transferable and are expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “SOR RT.”

The Fund has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form N-2 (File Nos. 333-232727 and 811-01731), including a related preliminary prospectus and preliminary statement of additional information under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Investment Company Act (the “Investment Company Act Rules and Regulations”) and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act (the “Securities Act Rules and Regulations” and, together with the Investment Company Act Rules and Regulations, the “Rules and Regulations”), and has filed such amendments to such registration statement on Form N-2, if any, as may have been required to the date hereof. If the registration statement has not become effective, a further amendment to such registration statement, including the final prospectus and final statement of additional information, necessary to permit such registration statement to become effective, will promptly be filed by the Fund with the

Commission. If the registration statement has become effective and any prospectus contained therein omits certain information at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations, a final prospectus containing such omitted information will promptly be filed by the Fund with the Commission in accordance with Rule 497(h) of the Rules and Regulations. The term “Registration Statement” means the registration statement, as amended, at the time it becomes effective or became effective, including financial statements and all exhibits and all documents, if any, incorporated therein by reference, and any information deemed to be included by Rule 430A of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations. The term “Prospectus” means (except as otherwise specified herein) the final prospectus (including the final statement of additional information incorporated by reference therein) in the form filed with the commission pursuant to Rule 497(c), (e), (h) or (j) of the Rules and Regulations, as the case may be, as from time to time amended or supplemented pursuant to the Securities Act.

The Dealer Manager hereby agrees to solicit the exercise of Rights in accordance with its customary practice subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the procedures described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and, where applicable, the terms and conditions of such Selling Group Agreement or Soliciting Dealer Agreement; and the Dealer Manager hereby agrees to form and manage the Selling Group to solicit the exercise of Rights and to sell Shares to the Selling Group purchased by the Dealer Manager from the Fund through the exercise of Rights as described herein in accordance with its customary practice subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the procedures described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and, where applicable, the terms and conditions of the Selling Group Agreement.

(ii) The Fund hereby authorizes the Dealer Manager to buy, facilitate the sale of and exercise Rights, including unexercised Rights delivered to the Subscription Agent for resale and Rights of Record Date Shareholders whose record addresses

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Fund agrees to furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Dealer Manager, lists, or copies of those lists, showing the names and addresses of, and number of Common Shares held by, Record Date Shareholders as of the Record Date, and the Dealer Manager agrees to use such information only in connection with the Offer, and not to furnish the information to any other person except for securities brokers and dealers that have been requested by the Dealer Manager to solicit exercises of Rights.

(c) The Dealer Manager agrees to provide to the Fund, in addition to the services described in Section 2(a), financial structuring and solicitation services in connection with the Offer. No advisory fee, other than the fees provided for in Section 3 of this Agreement and the reimbursement of the Dealer Manager’s out-of-pocket expenses as described in Section 5 of this Agreement, will be payable by the Fund, or any other party hereto, to the Dealer Manager in connection with the financial structuring and solicitation services provided by the Dealer Manager pursuant to this Section 2(c).

(d) The Fund and the Dealer Manager agree that the Dealer Manager is an independent contractor with respect to the solicitation of the exercise of the Rights, and that the Dealer Manager’s performance of financial structuring and solicitation services for the Fund is pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s length basis, and in no event do the parties intend that the Dealer Manager act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Fund, its management, shareholders, creditors or any other person, including Selling Group Members and Soliciting Dealers, in connection with any activity that the Dealer Manager may undertake or has undertaken in furtherance of its engagement pursuant to this Agreement, either before or after the date hereof.

subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence, in the performance of their duties, or by reason of their reckless disregard of their obligations and duties under this Agreement.

(e) In rendering the services contemplated by this Agreement, the Dealer Manager will not be subject to any liability to the Fund or the Adviser or any of their affiliates, for any act or omission on the part of any soliciting broker or dealer (except with respect to the Dealer Manager acting in such capacity) or any other person, and the Dealer Manager will not be liable for acts or omissions in performing its obligations under this Agreement, except for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses that are finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence or reckless disregard of the Dealer Manager or by reason of the reckless disregard of the obligations and duties of the Dealer Manager under this Agreement.

3. Dealer Manager Fees. In full payment for the financial structuring and solicitation services rendered and to be rendered hereunder by the Dealer Manager, the Fund agrees to pay the Dealer Manager a fee (the “Dealer Manager Fee”) equal to 3.75% of the aggregate Subscription Price for the Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Rights and the Over-Subscription Privilege.

(g) Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (excluding an amendment or supplement subsequent to the Representation Date), (i) there shall not have been any change, increase or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in Section 6(f), (ii) no adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in the condition (financial or other), business, business prospects, management, properties, net worth or results of operations of the Fund shall have occurred or become known and (iii) no transaction which is material and adverse to the Fund shall have been entered into by the Fund.

(h) Prior to the Representation Date, the Fund shall have furnished to the Dealer Manager such further information, certificates and documents as the Dealer Manager may reasonably request.

(i) If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be satisfactory in form and substance to the Dealer Manager and its counsel, this Agreement and all obligations of the Dealer Manager hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Expiration Date by the Dealer Manager. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Fund in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing.

7. Indemnity and Contribution.

(a) Each of the Fund and the Adviser, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Dealer Manager, each Selling Group Member and each Soliciting Dealer, and their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates and any person who controls the Dealer Manager, a Selling Group Member and or a

Soliciting Dealer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Dealer Manager, a Selling Group Member, a Soliciting Dealer or any such person may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Investment Company Act, the Advisers Act, common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Fund) or in a Prospectus (the term “Prospectus” for the purpose of this Section 7 being deemed to include any preliminary prospectus, the Offering Materials, the Prospectus and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented by the Fund), or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in either such Registration Statement or Prospectus or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager to the Fund or the Adviser expressly for use with reference to the Dealer Manager, Selling Group Members or Soliciting Dealers in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus.

If any action, suit or proceeding (together, a “Proceeding”) is brought against the Dealer Manager, a Selling Group Member, a Soliciting Dealer or any such person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Fund or the Adviser pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Dealer Manager, a Selling Group Member, a Soliciting Dealer or such person shall promptly notify the Fund and the Adviser in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and the Fund shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all reasonable fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Fund and the Adviser shall not relieve the Fund from any liability which the Fund or the Adviser may have to the Dealer Manager, a Selling Group Member, a Soliciting Dealer or any such person or otherwise, unless such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. The Dealer Manager, a Selling Group Member, a Soliciting Dealer or such person shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Dealer Manager, a Selling Group Member, a Soliciting Dealer or of such person unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Fund or the Adviser, as the case may be, in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or the Fund or the Adviser shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded (based on advice from counsel) that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to the Fund or the Adviser (in which case the Fund or the Adviser shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties, but the Fund or the Adviser may employ counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Fund or the Adviser, as the case may be), in any of which events the reasonable fees and expenses shall be borne by the Fund or the Adviser and paid as incurred in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties

to such Proceeding. Neither the Fund nor the Adviser shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent, but if a Proceeding is settled with the written consent of the Fund or the Adviser, then the Fund or the Adviser, as the case may be, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Dealer Manager, a Selling Group Member, a Soliciting Dealer and any such person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of this paragraph, then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 business days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such indemnified party unless such indemnified party gives written consent to such admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act.

(b) The Dealer Manager agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Fund and the Adviser, and their respective directors and officers, and any person who controls the Fund or the Adviser, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Fund or the Adviser to the Dealer Manager, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Fund, the Adviser or any such person may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Investment Company Act, the Advisers Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager to the Fund expressly for use with reference to the Dealer Manager in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Fund) or in a Prospectus, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in connection with such information required to be stated in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or necessary to make such information not misleading (with respect to the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made).

If any Proceeding is brought against the Fund, the Adviser or any such person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Dealer Manager pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Fund, the Adviser or such person shall promptly notify the Dealer Manager in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and the Dealer Manager shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all reasonable fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify the Dealer Manager shall not relieve the Dealer Manager from any liability which the Dealer Manager may have to the Fund or

any such person or otherwise, unless such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. The Fund, the Adviser or such person shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Fund, the Adviser or such person, as the case may be, unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Dealer Manager in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or such Dealer Manager shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded (based on advice from counsel) that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to or in conflict with those available to the Dealer Manager (in which case the Dealer Manager shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties, but the Dealer Manager may employ counsel and participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Dealer Manager), in any of which events the reasonable fees and expenses shall be borne by the Dealer Manager and paid as incurred in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding. The Dealer Manager shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without the written consent of the Dealer Manager but if settled with the written consent of the Dealer Manager, the Dealer Manager agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, the Adviser and any such person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of this paragraph, then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 business days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such indemnified party unless such indemnified party gives written consent to such admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act.

(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 7 in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Fund or the Adviser on the one hand and the Dealer Manager, Selling Group Member(s) or Soliciting Dealer(s) on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Fund or the Adviser on the one

hand and of the Dealer Manager on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to the Offer. The relative benefits received by the Fund or the Adviser on the one hand and the Dealer Manager, Selling Group Member(s) or Soliciting Dealer(s) on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the Offer (net of the Dealer Manager Fee but before deducting expenses) received by the Fund or the Adviser and the total Dealer Manager Fee received by the Dealer Manager, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Fund or the Adviser on the one hand and of the Dealer Manager, Selling Group Member(s) or Soliciting Dealer(s) on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Fund or the Adviser or the Dealer Manager and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding.

(d) The Fund, the Adviser and the Dealer Manager agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (c) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, neither the Dealer Manager nor any Selling Group Member or Soliciting Dealer shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the fees received by it. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Section 7, no party shall be entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Agreement against any loss, claim, liability, expense or damage arising by reason of such person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of such person’s reckless disregard of such person’s obligations and duties thereunder. The parties hereto acknowledge that the foregoing provision shall not be construed to impose upon any such parties any duties under this Agreement other than as specifically set forth herein (it being understood that the Dealer Manager, Selling Group Members and Soliciting Dealers have no duty hereunder to the Fund or the Adviser to perform any due diligence investigation).

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Fund and the Adviser contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager, a Selling Group Member, a Soliciting Dealer, and their respective partners, directors or officers or any person (including each partner, officer or director of such person) who controls the Dealer Manager, a Selling Group Member or a Soliciting Dealer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Fund or the Adviser, their directors or officers or any person who controls the Fund or the Adviser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the issuance and delivery of the Rights.

The Fund, the Adviser and the Dealer Manager agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Fund or the Adviser against any of their officers or directors in connection with the issuance of the Rights, or in connection with the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

(g) The Fund and the Adviser acknowledge that the statements under the heading “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing to the Fund by the Dealer Manager expressly for use in such document, and the Dealer Manager confirms that such statements are correct in all material respects.

8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Fund or its officers, of the Adviser and of the Dealer Manager set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Expiration Date and will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Dealer Manager or the Fund or the Adviser or any of their officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares pursuant to the Offer. The provisions of Sections 5 and 7 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

9. Termination of Agreement.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 5 and the Dealer Manager shall not have any obligation to purchase any Shares upon exercise of Rights.

UBS Securities LLC

0000 Xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxxxx

Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We understand that Source Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Fund”), proposes to issue to holders of record (the “Record Date Shareholders”) as of the close of business on the record date (the “Record Date”) set forth in the Fund’s Prospectus (as defined in the Dealer Manager Agreement (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”), dated September [19], 2019, among the Fund, the Adviser and UBS Securities LLC as the dealer manager (the “Dealer Manager”)) transferable rights entitling such Record Date Shareholders to subscribe for up to [·] shares (each a “Share” and, collectively, the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Shares”), of the Fund (the “Offer”). Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, the Fund is issuing each Record Date Shareholder one transferable right (each a “Right” and, collectively, the “Rights”) for each Common Share held by such Record Date Shareholder on the Record Date. Such Rights entitle their holders to acquire during the subscription period set forth in the Prospectus (the “Subscription Period”), at the price set forth in such Prospectus (the “Subscription Price”), one Share for every three Rights (except that any Record Date Shareholder who owns fewer than three Common Shares as of the Record Date will be able to subscribe for one full Share pursuant to the primary subscription), on the terms and conditions set forth in such Prospectus. No fractional shares will be issued. Any Record Date Shareholder who fully exercises all Rights initially issued to such Record Date Shareholder (other than those Rights that cannot be exercised because they represent the right to acquire less than one Share) will be entitled to subscribe for, subject to allocation, additional Shares (the “Over-Subscription Privilege”) on the terms and conditions set forth in such Prospectus. The Rights are transferable and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SOR RT.”

We further understand that the Fund has appointed UBS Securities LLC to act as the Dealer Manager in connection with the Offer and has authorized the Dealer Manager to form and manage a group of broker-dealers (each a “Selling Group Member” and collectively the “Selling Group”) to solicit the exercise of Rights and to sell Shares purchased by the Dealer Manager from the Fund through the exercise of Rights.

We hereby express our interest in participating in the Offer as a Selling Group Member.

We hereby agree with you as follows:

1. We have received and reviewed the Prospectus relating to the Offer and we understand that additional copies of the Prospectus (or of the Prospectus as it may be subsequently

supplemented or amended, if applicable) and any other solicitation materials authorized by the Fund relating to the Offer (“Offering Materials”) will be supplied to us in reasonable quantities upon our request therefor to you. We agree that we will not use any solicitation material other than the Prospectus (as supplemented or amended, if applicable) and such Offering Materials and we agree not to make any representation, oral or written, to any shareholders or prospective shareholders of the Fund that are not contained in the Prospectus, unless previously authorized to do so in writing by the Fund.

2. From time to time during the Subscription Period commencing on September [19], 2019 and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date (the term “Expiration Date” means October [17], 2019 unless and until the Fund shall, in its sole discretion, have extended the period for which the Offer is open, in which event the term “Expiration Date” with respect to the Offer will mean the latest time and date on which the Offer, as so extended by the Fund, will expire), we may solicit the exercise of Rights in connection with the Offer. We will be entitled to receive fees in the amounts and at the times described in Section 4 of this Selling Group Agreement with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of Rights and with respect to which Computershare Trust Company, N.A. and Computershare Inc. (the “Subscription Agent”) has received, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, either (i) a properly completed and executed Subscription Certificate identifying us as the broker-dealer having been instrumental in the exercise of such Rights, and full payment for such Shares, or (ii) a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery guaranteeing to the Subscription Agent by the close of business of the third business day after the Expiration Date a properly completed and duly executed Subscription Certificate, similarly identifying us, and full payment for such Shares. We understand that we will not be paid these fees with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to an exercise of Rights for our own account or for the account of any of our affiliates. We also understand and agree that we are not entitled to receive any fees in connection with the solicitation of the exercise of Rights other than pursuant to the terms of this Selling Group Agreement and, in particular, that we will not be entitled to receive any fees under the Fund’s Soliciting Dealer Agreement. We agree to solicit the exercise of Rights in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations under each such Act, any applicable securities laws of any state or jurisdiction where such solicitations may be lawfully made, the applicable rules and regulations of any self-regulatory organization or registered national securities exchange and customary practice and subject to the terms of the Subscription Agent Agreement between the Fund and the Subscription Agent and the procedures described in the Fund’s registration statement on Form N-2 (File Nos. 333-232727 and 811-01731) (the “Registration Statement”).

3. From time to time during the Subscription Period, we may indicate interest in purchasing Shares from the Dealer Manager. We understand that from time to time the Dealer Manager intends to offer Shares obtained or to be obtained by the Dealer Manager through the exercise of Rights to Selling Group Members who have so indicated interest at prices which shall be determined by the Dealer Manager (the “Offering Price”). We agree that, with respect to any such Shares purchased by us from the Dealer Manager, the sale of such Shares to us shall be irrevocable, and we will offer them to the public at the Offering Price at which we purchase them from the Dealer Manager. Shares not sold by us at such Offering Price may be offered by us after the next succeeding Offering Price is set at the latest Offering Price set by the Dealer Manager. The Dealer Manager agrees that, if requested by any Selling Group Member, and subject to applicable law, the Dealer

A-2

Manager will set a new Offering Price prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any business day. We agree to advise the Dealer Manager from time to time upon request, prior to the termination of this Selling Group Agreement, of the number of Shares remaining unsold which were purchased by us from the Dealer Manager and, upon the Dealer Manager’s request, we will resell to the Dealer Manager any of such Shares remaining unsold at the purchase price thereof if in the Dealer Manager’s opinion such Shares are needed to make delivery against sales made to other Selling Group Members. Any shares purchased hereunder from the Dealer Manager shall be subject to regular way settlement through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company.

4. We understand that you will remit to us on or before the tenth business day following the day the Fund issues Shares after the Expiration Date, following receipt by you from the Fund of the Dealer Manager Fee (as defined in the Dealer Manager Agreement), a fee (the “Selling Fee”) equal to 2.50% of the Subscription Price per Share for (A) each Share issued pursuant to the exercise of Rights or the Over-Subscription Privilege pursuant to each Subscription Certificate upon which we are designated, as certified to you by the Subscription Agent, as a result of our solicitation efforts in accordance with Section 2 and (B) each Share sold by the Dealer Manager to us in accordance with Section 3 less any Shares resold to the Dealer Manager in accordance with Section 3. We understand that with respect to each Share sold by the Dealer Manager to us in accordance with Section 3 less any Shares resold to the Dealer Manager in accordance with Section 3, such fee may from time to time vary from 2.50% of the Subscription Price per Share. Your only obligation with respect to payment of the Selling Fee to us is to remit to us amounts owing to us and actually received by you from the Fund. Except as aforesaid, you shall be under no liability to make any payments to us pursuant to this Selling Group Agreement. We also understand that the Fund and the Adviser have agreed to indemnify us pursuant to the terms set forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement.

5. We agree that you, as Dealer Manager, have full authority to take such action as may seem advisable to you in respect of all matters pertaining to the Offer. You are authorized to approve on our behalf any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

6. We represent that we are a member in good standing of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and, in making sales of Shares, agree to comply with all applicable rules of FINRA including, without limitation, FINRA Rules 2040, 5130 and 5141. We understand that no action has been taken by you or the Fund to permit the solicitation of the exercise of Rights or the sale of Shares in any jurisdiction (other than the United States) where action would be required for such purpose. We agree that we will not, without your approval in advance, buy, sell, deal or trade in, on a when-issued basis or otherwise, the Rights or the Shares or any other option to acquire or sell Shares for our own account or for the accounts of customers, except as provided in Sections 2 and 3 hereof and except that we may buy or sell Rights or Shares in brokerage transactions on unsolicited orders which have not resulted from activities on our part in connection with the solicitation of the exercise of Rights and which are executed by us in the ordinary course of our brokerage business. We will keep an accurate record of the names and addresses of all persons to whom we give copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Offering Materials and, when furnished with any subsequent amendment to the Registration Statement and any subsequent prospectus, we will, upon your request, promptly forward copies thereof to such persons.

A-3

7. Nothing contained in this Selling Group Agreement will constitute the Selling Group Members partners with the Dealer Manager or with one another or create any association between those parties, or will render the Dealer Manager or the Fund liable for the obligations of any Selling Group Member. The Dealer Manager will be under no liability to make any payment to any Selling Group Member other than as provided in Section 4 of this Selling Group Agreement, and will be subject to no other liabilities to any Selling Group Member, and no obligations of any sort will be implied. We agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, the Adviser, you and each other Selling Group Member and each person, if any, who controls you and any such Selling Group Member within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against loss or liability caused by any breach by us of the terms of this Selling Group Agreement.

8. We agree to pay any transfer taxes which may be assessed and paid on account of any sales or transfers for our account.

9. All communications to you relating to the Offer will be addressed to: UBS Securities LLC, 0000 Xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attn: Xxxxxx Xxxxxx.

Exhibit B

SOURCE CAPITAL, INC.

[·] Shares of Common Stock
Issuable Upon Exercise of Transferable Rights
to Subscribe for Such Shares

SOLICITING DEALER AGREEMENT

THE OFFER WILL EXPIRE AT 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME,

OCTOBER [17], 0000, XXXXXX XXXXXXXX

Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx
[·], 2019

To Securities Dealers and Brokers:

Source Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Fund”), is issuing to its shareholders of record (“Record Date Shareholders”) as of the close of business on September [19], 2019 (the “Record Date”) transferable rights (“Rights”) to subscribe for an aggregate of up to [·] common shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Shares”), of the Fund upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Fund’s Prospectus (the “Offer”). Each such Record Date Shareholder is being issued one Right for each full Common Share owned on the Record Date. Such Rights entitle their holders to acquire during the Subscription Period (as hereinafter defined) at the Subscription Price (as hereinafter defined) one Share for every three Rights (except that any Record Date Shareholder who owns fewer than three Common Shares as of the Record Date will be able to subscribe for one full Share pursuant to the primary subscription), on the terms and conditions set forth in such Prospectus. No fractional shares will be issued. Any Record Date Shareholder who fully exercises all Rights initially issued to such Record Date Shareholder (other than those Rights that cannot be exercised because they represent the right to acquire less than one Share) will be entitled to subscribe for, subject to allocation, additional Shares (the “Over-Subscription Privilege”) on the terms and conditions set forth in such Prospectus. The Rights are transferable and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange ( “NYSE”) under the symbol “SOR RT.”

The Subscription Price will be determined based on a formula price equal to the greater of 92.5% of the average of the last reported sale price of a Common Share on the NYSE on the date on which the Offer expires, as such date may be extended from time to time, and for each of the four (4) preceding trading days (the “Formula Price”). If, however, the Formula Price is less than 76% of the net asset value (“NAV”) per Common Share at the close of trading on the NYSE on the date on which the Offer expires, as such date may be extended from time to time, then the Subscription Price will be 76% of the NAV per Common Share at the close of trading on the NYSE on that day. The Subscription Period will commence on September [19], 2019 and end at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Expiration Date (the term “Expiration Date” means October [17], 2019, unless and until the Fund shall, in its sole discretion, have extended the period for which the Offer is open, in which event the term “Expiration Date” with respect to the Offer will mean the latest time and date on which the Offer, as so extended by the Fund, will expire).

For the duration of the Offer, the Fund has authorized and the Dealer Manager (as hereinafter defined) has agreed to reallow a fee to any qualified broker or dealer executing a Soliciting Dealer

Agreement who solicits the exercise of Rights and the Over-Subscription Privilege in connection with the Offer and who complies with the procedures described below (a “Soliciting Dealer”). Upon timely delivery to Computershare Trust Company, N.A. and Computershare Inc., the Fund’s Subscription Agent for the Offer, of payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of Rights and the Over-Subscription Privilege and of properly completed and executed documentation as set forth in this Soliciting Dealer Agreement, a Soliciting Dealer will be entitled to receive a fee (the “Soliciting Fee”) equal to 0.50% of the Subscription Price per Share so purchased subject to a maximum fee based on the number of Common Shares held by such Soliciting Dealer through The Depository Trust Company on the Record Date; provided, however, that no payment shall be due with respect to the issuance of any Shares until payment therefor is actually received. A qualified broker or dealer is a broker or dealer which is a member of a registered national securities exchange in the United States or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or any foreign broker or dealer not eligible for membership who is not making solicitations outside the United States, who is relying on Rule 15a-6 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to be exempt from registration in the United States as a broker or dealer, and who agrees to conform to the Rules of FINRA, including, without limitation, FINRA Rules 2040, 5130 and 5141 thereof, in making solicitations in the United States to the same extent as if it were a member thereof.

The Fund has authorized and the Dealer Manager has agreed to pay the Soliciting Fees payable to the undersigned Soliciting Dealer, and the Fund and the Adviser have agreed to indemnify such Soliciting Dealer on the terms set forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”), dated September [19], 2019 among the Fund, the Adviser and UBS Securities LLC as the dealer manager (the “Dealer Manager”). Solicitation and other activities by Soliciting Dealers may be undertaken only in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and only in those states and other jurisdictions where such solicitations and other activities may lawfully be undertaken and in accordance with the laws thereof. Compensation will not be paid for solicitations in any state or other jurisdiction in which, in the opinion of counsel to the Fund or counsel to the Dealer Manager, such compensation may not lawfully be paid. No Soliciting Dealer shall be paid Soliciting Fees with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to an exercise of Rights and the Over-Subscription Privilege for its own account or for the account of any affiliate of the Soliciting Dealer. No Soliciting Dealer or any other person is authorized by the Fund or the Dealer Manager to give any information or make any representations in connection with the Offer other than those contained in the Prospectus and other authorized solicitation material furnished by the Fund through the Dealer Manager. No Soliciting Dealer is authorized to act as agent of the Fund or the Dealer Manager in any connection or transaction. In addition, nothing herein contained shall constitute the Soliciting Dealers partners with the Dealer Manager or with one another, or agents of the Dealer Manager or of the Fund, or create any association between such parties, or shall render the Dealer Manager or the Fund liable for the obligations of any Soliciting Dealer. The Dealer Manager shall be under no liability to make any payment to any Soliciting Dealer, and shall be subject to no other liabilities to any Soliciting Dealer, and no obligations of any sort shall be implied.

In order for a Soliciting Dealer to receive Soliciting Fees, the Subscription Agent must have received from such Soliciting Dealer no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, either (i) a properly completed and duly executed Subscription Certificate with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of Rights and the Over-Subscription Privilege and full payment for such Shares or (ii) a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery guaranteeing delivery to the Subscription Agent by close of business on the third business day after the Expiration Date of (A) a properly completed and duly executed Subscription Certificate with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of Rights and the Over-Subscription Privilege and (B) full payment for such Shares. Soliciting Fees will only be paid after receipt by the Subscription Agent of a properly completed and duly executed Soliciting Dealer Agreement and a Subscription Certificate designating the Soliciting Dealer in the applicable portion

B-2

hereof. In the case of a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, Soliciting Fees will only be paid after delivery in accordance with such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery has been effected. Soliciting Fees will be paid by the Fund (through the Subscription Agent) to the Soliciting Dealer by check to an address designated by the Soliciting Dealer below by the tenth business day following the day the Fund issues Shares after the Expiration Date.

All questions as to the form, validity and eligibility (including time of receipt) of this Soliciting Dealer Agreement will be determined by the Fund, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. Unless waived, any irregularities in connection with a Soliciting Dealer Agreement or delivery thereof must be cured within such time as the Fund shall determine. None of the Fund, the Dealer Manager, the Subscription Agent, the Information Agent for the Offer or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any Soliciting Dealer Agreement or incur any liability for failure to give such notification.

The acceptance of Soliciting Fees from the Fund by the undersigned Soliciting Dealer shall constitute a representation by such Soliciting Dealer to the Fund that: (i) it has received and reviewed the Prospectus; (ii) in soliciting purchases of Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Rights and the Over-Subscription Privilege, it has complied with the applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, any applicable securities laws of any state or jurisdiction where such solicitations were made, and the applicable rules and regulations of any self-regulatory organization or registered national securities exchange; (iii) in soliciting purchases of Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Rights and the Over-Subscription Privilege, it has not published, circulated or used any soliciting materials other than the Prospectus and any other authorized solicitation material furnished by the Fund through the Dealer Manager and has not made any written representations concerning the Fund to any holders or prospective holders of Shares or Rights other than those contained in such materials or otherwise previously authorized in writing by the Fund or otherwise permitted by applicable law; (iv) it has not purported to act as agent of the Fund or the Dealer Manager in any connection or transaction relating to the Offer; (v) the information contained in this Soliciting Dealer Agreement is, to its best knowledge, true and complete; (vi) it is not affiliated with the Fund; (vii) it will not accept Soliciting Fees paid by the Fund pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to Shares purchased by the Soliciting Dealer pursuant to an exercise of Rights and the Over-Subscription Privilege for its own account or the account of any affiliates; (viii) it will not remit, directly or indirectly, any part of Soliciting Fees paid by the Fund pursuant to the terms hereof to any beneficial owner of Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer; and (ix) it has agreed to the amount of the Soliciting Fees and the terms and conditions set forth herein with respect to receiving such Soliciting Fees. By returning a Soliciting Dealer Agreement and accepting Soliciting Fees, a Soliciting Dealer will be deemed to have agreed to indemnify the Fund, the Adviser and the Dealer Manager against losses, claims, damages and liabilities to which the Fund may become subject as a result of the breach of such Soliciting Dealer’s representations made herein and described above. In making the foregoing representations, Soliciting Dealers are reminded of the possible applicability of the anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act if they have bought, sold, dealt in or traded in any Shares for their own account since the commencement of the Offer.

Upon expiration of the Offer, no Soliciting Fees will be payable to Soliciting Dealers with respect to Shares purchased thereafter.

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Dealer Manager Agreement or, if not defined therein, in the Prospectus.

This Soliciting Dealer Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
