WHEREAS, the Adviser is registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), as an investment adviser and engages in the business of acting as an investment adviser; and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Adviser desire to enter into an agreement to provide for investment advisory services to the Company upon the terms and conditions provided below.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Appointment of Adviser.

The Company appoints the Adviser to act as investment adviser to the Company for the period and on the terms provided herein. The Adviser accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services provided herein, for the compensation herein provided.

2. Duties of the Adviser.

Subject to the overall supervision and review of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”), the Adviser will regularly provide the Company with investment research, advice and supervision and will furnish continuously an investment program for the Company, consistent with the investment objective and policies of the Company. The Adviser will be available to provide managerial assistance requested by the companies or vehicles in which the Company invests (collectively, “Portfolio Companies”). The Adviser will determine from time to time what securities shall be purchased for the Company, what securities shall be held or sold by the Company and what portion of the Company’s assets shall be held uninvested as cash or in other liquid assets, subject always to the provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and any registration statement of the Company under the 1940 Act and under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) covering the Company’s shares, as may be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as any of the same may be amended from time to time, and to the investment objectives of the Company, as each of the same shall be from time to time in effect, and subject, further, to such policies and instructions as the Board may from time to time establish. To carry out such determinations, the Adviser will exercise full discretion and act for the Company in the same manner and with the same force and effect as the Company itself might or could do with respect to purchases, sales or other transactions, as well as with respect to all other things necessary or incidental to the furtherance or conduct of such

purchases, sales or other transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Adviser shall, during the term and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (i) determine the composition of the portfolio of the Company, the nature and timing of the changes therein and the manner of implementing such changes; (ii) identify, evaluate and negotiate the structure of the investments made by the Company; (iii) perform due diligence on prospective Portfolio Companies; (iv) close and monitor the Company’s investments; (v) provide the Company with such other investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of its funds.

3. Administrative Duties of the Adviser.

The Adviser agrees to furnish administrative services necessary to the operation of the Company, other than services provided by the Company’s custodian, accounting agent, administrator, dividend and interest paying agent, transfer agent, and other service providers. The Adviser is authorized to conduct relations with custodians, depositaries, underwriters, brokers, dealers, placement agents, banks, insurers, accountants, attorneys, pricing agents, and other persons as may be deemed necessary or desirable. To the extent requested by the Company and not provided by the Company’s administrator, the Adviser shall (i) oversee the performance of, and payment of the fees to, the Company’s service providers, and make such reports and recommendations to the Board concerning such matters as the parties deem desirable; (ii) respond to inquiries and otherwise assist such service providers in the preparation and filing of regulatory reports, proxy statements, shareholder communications and the preparation of Board materials and reports; (iii) establish and oversee the implementation of borrowing facilities or other forms of leverage authorized by the Board; and (iv) supervise any other aspect of the Company’s administration as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Adviser. The Company shall reimburse the Adviser or its affiliate for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing the services set forth in this Section 3.

4. Delegation of Responsibilities.

The Adviser is authorized to delegate any or all of its rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement to one or more sub-advisers, and may enter into agreements with sub-advisers, and may replace any such sub-advisers from time to time in its discretion, in accordance with the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, and rules and regulations thereunder, as such statutes, rules and regulations are amended from time to time or are interpreted from time to time by the staff of the Commission, and if applicable, exemptive orders or similar relief granted by the Commission, and upon receipt of approval of such sub-advisers by the Board and by shareholders (unless any such approval is not required by such statutes, rules, regulations, interpretations, orders or similar relief).

5. Independent Contractors.

The Adviser and any sub-advisers shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be independent contractors and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Company in any way or otherwise be deemed to be an agent of the Company.

6. Compliance with Applicable Requirements.

In carrying out its obligations under this Agreement, the Adviser shall at all times conform to:

all applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act and any applicable rules and regulations adopted thereunder;

the provisions of any registration statement of the Company, as the same may be amended from time to time under the 1933 Act, including without limitation, the investment objectives set forth therein;

the provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time;

the provisions of the Bylaws of the Company, as the same may be amended from time to time;

all policies, procedures and directives adopted by the Board; and

any other applicable provisions of state, federal or foreign law.

7. Policies and Procedures.

The Adviser shall adopt and implement written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violation of the Federal Securities Laws (as that term is used in Rule 38a-1 under the 0000 Xxx) by the Adviser. The Adviser shall provide the Company, at such times as the Company shall reasonably request, with a copy of such policies and procedures and a report of such policies and procedures; such report shall be of sufficient scope and in sufficient detail as may reasonably be required to comply with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act and to provide reasonable assurance that any material inadequacies would be disclosed by such examination, and, if there are no such inadequacies, the reports shall so state.

8. Brokerage.

The Adviser is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for the Company, broker-dealer selection, and negotiation of brokerage commission rates. The Adviser’s primary consideration in effecting a security transaction will be to obtain the best execution. In selecting a broker-dealer to execute a particular transaction, the Adviser will take the following into consideration: the best net price available; the reliability, integrity and financial condition of the broker-dealer; the size of and the difficulty in executing the order; and the value of the expected contribution of the broker-dealer to the investment performance of the Company on a continuing basis. Accordingly, the price to the Company in any transaction may be less favorable than that available from another broker-dealer if the difference is reasonably justified by other aspects of the execution services offered.

Subject to such policies as the Board may from time to time determine, the Adviser shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully, or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise, solely by reason of its having caused the Company to pay a broker or dealer that

provides brokerage and research services to the Adviser an amount of commission for effecting a Company investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Adviser’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Company and to other clients of the Adviser as to which the Adviser exercises investment discretion. The Adviser is further authorized to allocate the orders placed by it on behalf of the Company to such brokers and dealers who also provide research or statistical material or other services to the Company, the Adviser or to any sub-Adviser. Such allocation shall be in such amounts and proportions as the Adviser shall determine and the Adviser will report on said allocations regularly to the Board indicating the brokers to whom such allocations have been made and the basis therefore.

9. Books and Records.

The Adviser will maintain complete and accurate records in respect of all transactions relating to the Company’s portfolio. The Adviser will keep or will cause to be kept records in respect of all such portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Company. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Adviser shall provide such access to its books and records relating to the Company as the Company may reasonably request. The Adviser shall have access at all reasonable times to books and records maintained for the Company to the extent necessary for the Adviser to comply with all applicable securities or other laws to which it is subject, and further provided that the Company shall produce copies of such records and books whenever reasonably required to do so by the Adviser for the purpose of legal proceedings or dealings with any governmental or regulatory authorities or for its internal compliance procedures.
