WHEREAS, the Company intends to raise cash funds from investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to a public offering (the “Offering”) of not less than 250,000 (the “Minimum Amount”) nor more than 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 of the Company (the “Securities”), pursuant to the registration statement on Form N-2 of the Company (No. 333-166636 |) (as amended, the “Offering Document”) a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto.

WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent is willing to accept appointment as escrow agent only for the expressed duties outlined herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Proceeds to be Escrowed. On or before the first date of the Offering, the Company shall establish an escrow account with the Escrow Agent to be invested in accordance with Section 7 hereof entitled “ESCROW ACCOUNT FOR THE BENEFIT OF INVESTORS FOR COMMON STOCK OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA” (including such abbreviations as are required for the Escrow Agent’s systems) (the “Escrow Account”). All funds received from subscribers of Securities (“Investors”) in payment for the Securities (“Investor Funds”) will be delivered to the Escrow Agent within one (1) business day following the day upon which such Investor Funds are received by the Company or its agents, and shall, upon receipt by the Escrow Agent, be retained in escrow by the Escrow Agent and invested as stated herein. During the term of this Agreement, the Company or its agents shall cause all checks received by and made payable to it in payment for the Securities to be endorsed in favor of the Escrow Agent and delivered to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account.

The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to make any disbursement, investment or other use of Investor Funds until and unless it has good and collected funds. If any checks deposited in the Escrow Account are returned or prove uncollectible after the funds represented thereby have been released by the Escrow Agent, then the Company shall promptly reimburse the Escrow Agent for any and all costs incurred for such, upon request, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the returned checks to the Company. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility to enforce collection of any check delivered to it hereunder. The Escrow Agent reserves the right to deny, suspend or terminate participation by an Investor to the extent the Escrow Agent deems it advisable or necessary to comply with applicable laws or to eliminate practices that are not consistent with the purposes of the Offering.

2. Investors. Investors will be instructed by the Dealer Manager or any soliciting dealers to remit the purchase price in the form of checks (hereinafter “instruments of payment”) payable to the order of, or funds wired in favor of, “XXXXX FARGO BANK, NA, ESCROW AGENT FOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA” Any checks made payable to a party other than the Escrow Agent shall be returned to the soliciting dealer (the “Soliciting Dealer”) who submitted the check. By 12:00 p.m. (Noon) the next business day after receipt of instruments of payment from the Offering, the Company or the Dealer Manager shall furnish the Escrow Agent with a list of the Investors who have paid for the Securities showing the name, address, tax identification number and the amount of Securities subscribed for purchase. The information comprising the identity of Investors shall be provided to the Escrow Agent in substantially the format set forth in the “List of Investors” attached hereto as Exhibit B.

When Soliciting Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at the site at which the subscription agreement and check were initially received by Soliciting Dealer from the subscriber, Soliciting Dealer shall transmit the subscription agreement and check to the Escrow Agent by the end of the next business day following receipt of the check and subscription agreement. When, pursuant to Soliciting Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, Soliciting Dealer’s final internal supervisory procedures are conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), Soliciting Dealer shall transmit the check and subscription agreement to the Final Review Office by the end of the next business day following Soliciting Dealer’s receipt of the subscription agreement and check. The Final Review Office will, by the end of the next business day following its receipt of the subscription agreement and check, forward both the subscription agreement and check to the Escrow Agent. If any subscription agreement solicited by Soliciting Dealer is rejected by the Dealer Manager or the Company, then the subscription agreement and check will be returned to the rejected subscriber within ten (10) business days from the date of rejection.

All Investor Funds deposited in the Escrow Account shall not be subject to any liens or charges by the Company or the Escrow Agent, or judgments or creditors’ claims against the Company, until and unless released to the Company as hereinafter provided. The Company understands and agrees that the Company shall not be entitled to any Investor Funds on deposit in the Escrow Account and no such funds shall become the property of the Company, or any other entity except as released to the Company pursuant to Section 3 hereto. The Escrow Agent will not use the information provided to it by the Company for any purpose other than to fulfill its obligations as Escrow Agent. The Company and the Escrow Agent will treat all Investor information as confidential. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to accept any Investor Funds which are not accompanied by the information on the List of Investors.

3. Disbursement of Funds. Once the Escrow Agent is in receipt of good and collected Investor Funds totaling at least the Minimum Amount from Investors, the Escrow Agent shall notify the Company of same in writing. Additionally, at the end of the third business day following the Termination Date (as defined in Section 4), the Escrow Agent shall notify the Company of the amount of the Investor Funds received. If the Minimum Amount has been obtained on or before the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company and, upon receiving acknowledgement of such notice and written instructions from the Company’s President or Chief Financial Officer to disburse the Investor Funds, the Escrow Agent shall disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer, the funds in the Escrow Account, except for amounts payable by the Company to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Exhibit D to this Agreement that remain outstanding. The Escrow Agent agrees that funds in the Escrow Account shall not be released to the Company until and unless the Escrow Agent receives written instructions to release the funds from the Company’s President or Chief Financial Officer.

If the Minimum Amount has not been obtained prior to the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall promptly following the Termination Date, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Termination Date, refund to each Investor by check, funds deposited in the Escrow Account, or shall return the instruments of payment delivered to Escrow Agent if such instruments have not been processed for collection prior to such time, directly to each Investor at the address provided on the List of Investors. Included in the remittance shall be a proportionate share of the income earned in the account allocable to each Investor’s investment in accordance with the terms and conditions specified herein, except that in the case of Investors who have not provided an executed Form W-9 or substitute Form W-9 (or the applicable substitute Form W-8 for foreign investors), the Escrow Agent shall withhold the applicable percentage of the earnings attributable to those Investors in accordance with IRS regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to remit any payments until funds represented by such payments have been collected by Escrow Agent.

If the Escrow Agent receives written notice from the Company that the Company intends to reject an Investor’s subscription, the Escrow Agent shall pay to the applicable Investor(s), within a reasonable time not to exceed ten (10) business days after receiving notice of the rejection, by first class United States Mail at the address provided on the List of Investors, or at such other address as shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent by the Investor in writing, all collected sums paid by the Investor for Securities and received by the Escrow Agent, together with the interest earned on such Investor Funds (determined in accordance with the terms and conditions specified herein).

4. Term of Escrow. The “Termination Date” shall be the earliest of: (i) the close of business on [ ______, 20 __ ], the one year anniversary of the date the Offering Document was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission; (ii) all funds held in the Escrow Account are distributed to the Company or to Investors pursuant to Section 3 and the Company has informed the Escrow Agent in writing to close each of the Escrow Account; (iii) the date the Escrow Agent receives written notice from the Company that it is abandoning the sale of the Securities; and (iv) the date the Escrow Agent receives notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal or state regulatory authority that a stop or similar order has been issued with respect to the Offering Document and has remained in effect for at least twenty (20) days. After the Termination Date the Company and its agents shall not deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall not accept, any additional amounts representing payments by prospective Investors.

5. Duty and Liability of the Escrow Agent. The sole duty of the Escrow Agent shall be to receive Investor Funds and hold them subject to release, in accordance herewith, and the Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to determine whether the Company or the Dealer Manager is complying with requirements of this Agreement, the Offering or applicable securities or other laws in tendering the Investor Funds to the Escrow Agent. No other agreement entered into between the parties, or any of them, shall be considered as adopted or binding, in whole or in part, upon the Escrow Agent notwithstanding that any such other agreement may be referred to herein or deposited with the Escrow Agent or the Escrow Agent may have knowledge thereof, including specifically but without limitation any Offering Documents (including the subscription agreement and exhibits thereto), and the Escrow Agent’s rights and responsibilities shall be governed solely by this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for or be required to enforce any of the terms or conditions of any Offering Document (including the subscription agreement and exhibits thereto) or other agreement between the Company and any other party.

The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or liability to verify any such statement, certificate, notice, request, consent, order or other document, and its sole responsibility shall be to act only as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and the Dealer Manager shall deliver to the Escrow Agent an authorized signers form in the forms of Exhibit C and Exhibit C-1 to this Agreement.

The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of loss. The Escrow Agent is acting solely as escrow agent hereunder and owes no duties, covenants or obligations, fiduciary or otherwise, to any other person by reason of this Agreement, except as otherwise stated herein, and no implied duties, covenants or obligations, fiduciary or otherwise, shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. If any disagreement between any of the parties to this Agreement, or between any of them and any other person, including any Investor, resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with the matters covered by this Agreement, or if the Escrow Agent is in doubt as to what action it should take hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, refuse to comply with any claims or demands on it, or refuse to take any other action hereunder, so long as such disagreement continues or such doubt exists, and in any such event, the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way or to any person for its failure or refusal to act, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to continue so to refrain from acting until (i) the rights of all interested parties shall have been fully and finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) all differences shall have been adjudged and all doubt resolved by agreement among all of the interested persons, and the Escrow Agent shall have been notified thereof in writing signed by all such persons.

If any controversy should arise with respect to this Agreement the Escrow Agent shall have the right, at its option, to institute an interpleader action in any court of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights of the parties. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ESCROW AGENT BE LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF THE ESCROW AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION. The parties agree that the Escrow Agent has no role in the preparation of the Offering Documents (including the subscription agreement and exhibits thereto) and makes no representations or warranties with respect to the information contained therein or omitted therefrom. The Escrow Agent shall have no obligation, duty or liability with respect to compliance with any federal or state securities, disclosure or tax laws concerning the Offering Documents (including the subscription agreement and exhibits thereto) or the issuance, offering or sale of the Securities. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to monitor the application and use of the Investor Funds once transferred to the Company, that being the sole obligation and responsibility of the Company.

6. Escrow Agent’s Fee. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for its services as stated in the fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit D, which compensation shall be paid by the Company. The fee agreed upon for the services rendered hereunder is intended as full compensation for the Escrow Agent’s services as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that if the conditions for the disbursement of funds under this Agreement are not fulfilled, or the Escrow Agent renders any material service not contemplated in this Agreement, or there is any assignment of interest in the subject matter of this Agreement, or any material modification hereof, or if any material controversy arises hereunder, or the Escrow Agent is made a party to any litigation pertaining to this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, then the Escrow Agent shall be reasonably compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, occasioned by any delay, controversy, litigation or event, and the same shall be recoverable from the Company. The Company’s obligations under this Section 6 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the assignment or termination of this Agreement.
