2.2 In addition to and apart from the Prospectus, the Corporation intends to furnish to all appropriate regulatory agencies and use printed sales literature or other materials in connection with the Offering prepared by the Corporation, the Adviser or the Dealer Manager.

Manager’s possession. The Corporation will notify the Dealer Manager promptly following each date of (i) the effectiveness of qualification or exemption of Offered Shares in any additional jurisdiction in which the offering and sale of Offered Shares has been authorized by appropriate state regulatory authorities; and (ii) a change in the status of the qualification or exemption of the Offered Shares in any jurisdiction in any respect. The Corporation will file and obtain clearance of the Authorized Sales Materials to the extent required by applicable state securities laws. The Corporation will furnish to the Dealer Manager a copy of such papers filed by the Corporation in connection with any such qualification.

2.5 If at any time when a Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act any event occurs as a result of which, in the opinion of the Corporation, the Prospectus would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the Corporation will promptly notify the Dealer Manager thereof (unless the information shall have been received from the Dealer Manager) and the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealers shall suspend the offering and sale of the Offered Shares in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof until such time as the Corporation, in its sole discretion (a) instructs the Dealer Manager to resume the offering and sale of the Offered Shares and (b) has prepared any required supplement to the Prospectus or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement as shall be necessary to correct such statement or omission and to comply with the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.

2.6 The Corporation will apply the proceeds from the sale of the Offered Shares as stated in the Prospectus.

2.9 The Corporation will operate in a manner so as to enable the Corporation to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for each taxable year during which it elects to be treated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act; provided, however, that at the discretion of the Corporation’s board of directors, it may elect to not be so treated.

(a) except as described in the Prospectus, upfront selling commissions (the “Upfront Selling Commissions”) applicable to the total public offering price of Offered Shares of up to 3.00% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of Offered Shares accepted and confirmed by the Corporation.

fee-for-service basis by the investor; (ii) by a Selected Dealer (or such Selected Dealer’s registered representative), in its individual capacity, or by a retirement plan of such Selected Dealer (or such Selected Dealer’s registered representative) or (iii) by an officer, director or employee of the Corporation, the Adviser or their respective affiliates;

(b) a dealer manager fee in the amount of 1.25% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Offered Shares (the “Dealer Manager Fee”), all or a portion of which may be reallowed to Selected Dealers (as described more fully in the Selected Dealer Agreement entered into with such Selected Dealer), which reallowance, if any, shall be determined by the Dealer Manager in its discretion based on factors including, but not limited to, the number of shares sold by such Selected Dealer, the assistance of such Selected Dealer in marketing the Offering and due diligence expenses incurred, and the extent to which similar fees are reallowed to selected broker-dealers in similar offerings being conducted during the Offering Period; provided, however, that no Dealer Manager Fee shall be payable in respect of the purchase of Offered Shares by an officer, director or employee of the Corporation, the Adviser or their respective affiliates, or with respect to Offered Shares sold to any “benefit plan investor” as that term is defined in ERISA § 3(42), 29 U.S.C. § 1003(42);

(c) an annual distribution fee (the “Distribution Fee”) of up to 1.00%, of the estimated value of the Offered Shares, as determined in accordance with applicable FINRA Rules and subject to the annual approval of the Corporation’s board of directors and its acknowledgment of compliance with the terms of any distribution plan required to be adopted by it. In addition, as set forth in the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager, in its sole discretion, may reallow all or a portion of the Distribution Fee with respect to the Offered Shares to the Selected Dealer. The Distribution Fee will accrue daily and will be payable to the Dealer Manager on a monthly basis and in accordance with the offering terms and conditions as set forth in the Prospectus. No Distribution Fee will be payable for any Offered Shares issued under the Corporation’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”). All Distribution Fees payable with respect to the sales of Offered Shares will cease in accordance with the offering terms and conditions as set forth in the Prospectus; and

(d) as set forth in the Prospectus, each Class T Offered Share will automatically convert to a share of the No-Load Share Class (as defined in the Prospectus) subject to and upon the satisfaction of certain conditions as described in the Prospectus.

4.5 The Corporation will not be liable or responsible to any Selected Dealer for direct payment of Upfront Selling Commissions, Dealer Manager Fees or the Distribution Fees to such Selected Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager for payment of all such of Upfront Selling Commissions, Dealer Manager Fees or the Distribution Fees to Selected Dealers. Notwithstanding the above, the Corporation, in its sole discretion, either directly or through the Escrow Agent or such other agent appointed by it, may act as agent of the Dealer Manager by making direct payment of Upfront Selling Commissions, Dealer Manager Fees or the Distribution Fees to such Selected Dealers without incurring any liability therefor. The Upfront Selling Commissions, Dealer Manager Fees and the Distribution Fees payable to the Dealer Manager with respect to any Offered Shares sold will be paid or offered promptly following the acceptance of subscribers for such Offered Shares as stockholders by the Corporation.

4.6 The Dealer Manager represents and warrants to the Corporation, the Adviser and each person that signs the Registration Statement that the information regarding the Offering in the Prospectus and all other information furnished to the Corporation by the Dealer Manager in writing expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

4.7 The Dealer Manager represents and warrants to the Corporation and the Adviser that it will not represent or imply that the Escrow Agent has investigated the desirability or advisability of investment in the Corporation, or has approved, endorsed or passed upon the merits of the Offered Shares or the Corporation, nor will the Dealer Manager use the name of said Escrow Agent in any manner whatsoever in connection with the offer or sale of the Offered Shares other than by acknowledgment that it has agreed to serve as escrow agent.

5. Indemnification.

5.1 For the purposes of this Section 5, an entity’s “Indemnified Parties” shall include such entity’s officers, directors, employees, members, partners, agents and representatives, and each person, if any, who controls such entity within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act.

5.2 The Corporation and the Adviser, jointly and severally, will indemnify, defend (subject to Section 5.6) and hold harmless the Selected Dealers and the Dealer Manager, and their respective Indemnified Parties, from and against any losses, claims (including the reasonable cost of investigation), damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Selected Dealers or Dealer Manager, or their respective Indemnified Parties, may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) in whole or in part, any material inaccuracy in a representation or warranty contained herein by either the Corporation or the Adviser, any material breach of a covenant contained herein by either the Corporation or the Adviser, or any material failure by either the Corporation or the Adviser to perform its obligations hereunder or to comply with state or federal securities laws applicable to the Offering, (b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in the Prospectus or any supplement thereto, (ii) in any Authorized Sales Materials or (iii) in any blue sky application or other document executed by the Corporation or on its behalf specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Offered Shares for sale under the securities laws of any jurisdiction or based upon written information furnished by the Corporation or the Adviser under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”) or (c) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or in the Prospectus or any supplement to the Prospectus as necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,

and the Corporation and the Adviser will reimburse each Selected Dealer or Dealer Manager, and/or their respective Indemnified Parties, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Selected Dealer or Dealer Manager, and/or their respective Indemnified Parties, in connection with investigating or defending such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Corporation or the Adviser will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished either (x) to the Corporation or the Adviser by the Dealer Manager or (y) to the Corporation, the Adviser or Dealer Manager by or on behalf of any Selected Dealer expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any such post-effective amendment thereto, or the Prospectus or any such supplement thereto. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which either the Corporation or the Adviser may otherwise have.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification and agreement to hold harmless provided in this Section 5.2 is further limited to the extent that no such indemnification by the Corporation or the Adviser of a Selected Dealer or the Dealer Manager, or their respective Indemnified Parties, shall be permitted under this Agreement for, or arising out of, an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws, unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which the securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

5.3 The Dealer Manager will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Corporation and the Adviser, their respective Indemnified Parties and each person who has signed the Registration Statement, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any of the aforesaid parties may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims (including the reasonable cost of investigation), damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) in whole or in part, any material inaccuracy in a representation or warranty contained herein by the Dealer Manager, any material breach of a covenant contained herein by the Dealer Manager or any material failure by the Dealer Manager to perform its obligations hereunder, (b) any untrue statement or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in the Prospectus or any supplement thereto, (ii) in any Authorized Sales Materials or (iii) any Blue Sky Application, (c) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or in the Prospectus or any supplement to the Prospectus as necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that in each case described in clauses (b) and (c) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Corporation or the Adviser by the Dealer Manager specifically for use with reference to the Dealer Manager in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such post-effective

amendments thereof or the Prospectus or any such supplement thereto, (d) any use of sales literature by the Dealer Manager not authorized or approved by the Corporation or any use of “broker-dealer use only” or “advisor use only” materials with members of the public concerning the Offered Shares by the Dealer Manager, (e) any untrue statement made by the Dealer Manager or its representatives or agents or omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Shares, (f) any material violation by the Dealer Manager of this Agreement, (g) any failure by the Dealer Manager to comply with applicable laws governing money laundering abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts, including applicable FINRA Rules, SEC Rules and the USA PATRIOT Act or (h) any other failure by the Dealer Manager to comply with applicable FINRA or Commission Rules. The Dealer Manager will reimburse the aforesaid parties in connection with investigation or defense of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Dealer Manager may otherwise have.

5.4 Each Selected Dealer severally will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Corporation, the Adviser, the Dealer Manager, each of their respective Indemnified Parties and each person who signs the Registration Statement, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Corporation, the Adviser, the Dealer Manager, any of their respective Indemnified Parties or any person who signed the Registration Statement, may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims (including the reasonable cost of investigation), damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) in whole or in part, any material inaccuracy in a representation or warranty by the Selected Dealer, any material breach of a covenant by the Selected Dealer or any material failure by the Selected Dealer to perform its obligations hereunder or under the Selected Dealer Agreement, (b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or the Prospectus or any supplement thereto, (ii) in any Authorized Sales Materials or (iii) any Blue Sky Application, (c) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or in the Prospectus or any supplement to the Prospectus or necessary to make statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that in each case described in clauses (b) and (c) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Corporation or the Adviser or the Dealer Manager by the Selected Dealer specifically for use with reference to the Selected Dealer in the Registration Statement or any such post-effective amendments thereof or the Prospectus or any such supplement thereto, (d) any use of sales literature by the Selected Dealer not authorized or approved by the Corporation or use of “broker-dealer use only” or “advisor use only” materials with members of the public concerning the Offered Shares by such Selected Dealer or Selected Dealer’s representatives or agents, (e) any untrue statement made by such Selected Dealer or its representatives or agents or omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Shares, (f) any failure by the Selected Dealer to comply with Section VII or Section X of the Selected Dealer Agreement or any other material violation of the Selected Dealer Agreement, (g) any failure of the Selected Dealer to comply with applicable laws governing money laundering abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts, including applicable FINRA Rules, Commission Rules and the USA PATRIOT Act or (h) any

other failure by the Selected Dealer to comply with applicable FINRA or Commission Rules or any other applicable Federal or state laws, including its failure to ensure the appropriate FINRA licensing credentials for its representatives. Each Selected Dealer will reimburse the aforesaid parties in connection with investigation or defense of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Selected Dealer may otherwise have.

5.5 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof and the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will relieve such indemnifying party from any liability under this Section 5 as to the particular item for which indemnification is then being sought, but not from any other liability which it may have to any indemnified party. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section 5.6) incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party.

5.6 An indemnifying party under Section 5 of this Agreement shall be obligated to reimburse an indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses as follows:

(a) In the case of the Corporation and/or the Adviser indemnifying the Dealer Manager, the advancement of funds of the Corporation to the Dealer Manager for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought shall be permissible only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Corporation; (ii) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder of the Corporation or the legal action is initiated by a stockholder of the Corporation acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and (iii) the Dealer Manager undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Corporation, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases which the Dealer Manager is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

(b) In any case of indemnification other than that described in Section 5.6(a) above, the indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against

more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been selected by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.

5.7 The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of: (a) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Selected Dealer, or any person controlling any Selected Dealer, or by or on behalf of the Corporation, the Adviser, the Dealer Manager or any officer, trustee or director thereof, or by or on behalf of the Corporation or the Dealer Manager; (b) delivery of any Offered Shares and payment therefor; and (c) any termination of this Agreement or any Selected Dealer Agreement. A successor of any Selected Dealer or of any of the parties to this Agreement, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity agreements contained in this Section 5.

5.8 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5, no party shall be entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Agreement in violation of Section 17(i) of the Investment Company Act.

6. Survival of Provisions.

The respective agreements, representations and warranties of the Corporation, the Adviser and the Dealer Manager set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect until the Termination Date regardless of: (a) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager or any Selected Dealer or any person controlling the Dealer Manager or any Selected Dealer or by or on behalf of the Corporation, the Adviser or any person controlling the Corporation; and (b) the delivery of payment for the Offered Shares. Following the termination of this Agreement, this Agreement will become void and there will be no liability of any party to any other party hereto, except for obligations under Sections 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 15, all of which will survive the termination of this Agreement.

7. Applicable Law; Venue

This Agreement and any claim, counterclaim or dispute of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement, directly or indirectly, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts formed and to be formed entirely within the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles and rules thereof, to the extent such principles would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

8. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be an original contract, but all counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

9. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement and the Exhibits attached hereto constitute the entire agreement among the parties and supersede any prior understanding, whether written or oral, prior to the date hereof with respect to the Offering, including the Existing Agreement.

10. Successors and Amendment.

10.1 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Dealer Manager, the Corporation, the Adviser and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Selected Dealers to the extent set forth in Sections 1 and 5 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give to any other person any right, remedy or claim, except as otherwise specifically provided herein.

10.2 This Agreement may be amended only by the written agreement of the Dealer Manager, the Corporation and the Adviser.

10.3 Neither the Corporation or Adviser, nor the Dealer Manager may assign or transfer any of such party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Dealer Manager, on the one hand, or the Corporation and the Adviser, acting together, on the other hand.

11. Term and Termination.

11.1 This Agreement may be terminated by the Dealer Manager, on the one hand, or the Corporation and the Adviser acting together, on the other, in the event that (a) the Corporation or the Adviser, on the one hand, or the Dealer Manager, on the other, shall have materially failed to comply with any of the material provisions of this Agreement or (b) the Corporation or the Adviser, on the one hand, or the Dealer Manager, on the other, materially breaches any of its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and, in the case of the Corporation or the Adviser, such breach or breaches, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that no party may terminate this Agreement under this sentence unless such failure(s) or breach(es) under clause (a) or (b) above is or are not cured within thirty (30) days after such party has delivered notice of intent to terminate under this Section 11.1. In any case, this Agreement shall expire at the close of business on the Termination Date.

11.2 Notwithstanding Section 11.1, this Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the Corporation’s directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the Corporation and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Corporation’s distribution plan or this Agreement or by vote a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation or the affected class of Common Stock, on not more than sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Dealer Manager and the Adviser; and will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment (as defined in the Investment Company Act).

11.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in force until the first anniversary of the date hereof and shall thereafter

continue in effect from year to year only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote of the Corporation’s board of directors, including a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of the Corporation and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Corporation’s distribution plan or this Agreement, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the continuance of this Agreement.

11.4 The Dealer Manager, upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, shall (i) promptly deposit any and all funds, if any, in its possession which were received from investors for the sale of Offered Shares into the appropriate account designated by the Corporation, (ii) promptly deliver to the Corporation all records and documents in its possession which relate to the Offering and are not designated as dealer copies, (iii) provide a list of all purchasers and broker-dealers with whom the Dealer Manager has initiated oral or written discussions regarding the Offering and (iv) notify Selected Dealers of such termination. The Dealer Manager, at its sole expense, may make and retain copies of all such records and documents but shall keep all such information confidential. The Dealer Manager shall use its best efforts to cooperate with the Corporation to accomplish an orderly transfer of management of the Offering to a party designated by the Corporation.

11.5 Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Corporation shall pay to the Dealer Manager all compensation to which the Dealer Manager is or becomes entitled under Section 4 at such time as such compensation becomes payable.

12. Confirmation.

The Corporation hereby agrees and assumes, or will arrange for a party designated by it to assume, the duty to confirm, on its behalf and on behalf of Selected Dealers, all orders for purchase of Offered Shares accepted by the Corporation. Such confirmations will comply with the rules of the SEC and FINRA and will comply with applicable laws of such other jurisdictions to the extent the Corporation is advised of such laws in writing by the Dealer Manager.

13. Submission of Orders.

13.1 Each person desiring to purchase Offered Shares in the Offering will be required to complete and execute a Subscription Agreement substantially in the form attached as an Appendix to the Prospectus and to deliver to the Selected Dealer or Dealer Manager, as the case may be (the “Processing Broker-Dealer”), such completed Subscription Agreement, together with a check, draft, wire or money order (hereinafter referred to as a “Subscription Payment”) for the purchase price of the Offered Shares. The Dealer Manager shall ensure that any Selected Dealer shall only offer to sell and accept Subscription Agreements and Subscription Payments for classes of Offered Shares that it is authorized to sell pursuant to the Selected Dealer Agreement (including any schedules or exhibits thereto) and in accordance with the offering terms and conditions as set forth in the Prospectus. There shall be a minimum initial purchase by any one purchaser of Offered Shares of $5,000 (except as otherwise indicated in the Prospectus, or in any letter or memorandum from the Corporation to the Dealer Manager). Additional purchases of Class Offered Shares shall be in increments of $500 per transaction, except for purchases made pursuant to the DRP, as described in the Prospectus. Any minimum

purchase amount may be waived in the sole discretion of the Corporation. Prior to the Corporation meeting the Minimum Offering, persons who purchase Offered Shares shall make their checks payable to “UMB Bank, N.A., as escrow agent for FS Investment Corporation IV.” Subsequent to the Corporation raising the Minimum Offering, persons who purchase Offered Shares shall make their checks payable to “FS Investment Corporation IV.”

After meeting the Minimum Offering described throughout the Prospectus, the Corporation will sell the Offered Shares on a continuous basis at prices and in accordance with the offering terms and conditions set forth in and subject to any adjustment described or otherwise provided in the Prospectus. Each person desiring to purchase Offered Shares in the Offering must submit subscriptions for a certain dollar amount, rather than a number of Offered Shares and, as a result, may receive fractional Offered Shares.

The Processing Broker-Dealer receiving a Subscription Agreement and Subscription Payment not conforming to the foregoing instructions, or for a class of Offered Shares that such Processing Broker-Dealer is not authorized to sell, or for a sale of Offered Shares not meeting the offering terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus, shall return such Subscription Agreement and Subscription Payment directly to such subscriber not later than the end of the second business day following receipt by the Processing Broker-Dealer of such materials. Subscription Agreements and Subscription Payments received by the Processing Broker-Dealer which conform to the foregoing instructions shall be transmitted for deposit pursuant to one of the methods described in this Section 13. Transmittal of received investor funds will be made in accordance with the following procedures.

13.2 If the Processing Broker-Dealer conducts its internal supervisory review at the same location at which Subscription Agreements and Subscription Payments are received from subscribers, then, by noon of the next business day following receipt by the Processing Broker-Dealer, the Processing Broker-Dealer will transmit the Subscription Agreements and Subscription Payment for deposit to the Escrow Agent, or after the Minimum Offering has been achieved, to the Corporation or its designated agent.

13.3 If the Processing Broker-Dealer conducts its internal supervisory review at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), Subscription Agreements and Subscription Payments will be transmitted by the Processing Broker-Dealer to the Final Review Office by noon of the next business day following receipt by the Processing Broker-Dealer. The Final Review Office will in turn by noon of the next business day following receipt by the Final Review Office, transmit such Subscription Agreements and Subscription Payment for deposit to the Escrow Agent, or after the Minimum Offering has been achieved, to the Corporation or its designated agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Offered Shares to be purchased by a custodial account, the Processing Broker-Dealer shall cause the custodian of such account to deliver a completed Subscription Agreement and Subscription Payment for such account directly for deposit to the Escrow Agent, or after the Minimum Offering has been achieved, to the Corporation or its designated agent. The Processing Broker-Dealer shall furnish to the Escrow Agent, the Corporation or its designated agent, as applicable, with each delivery of Subscription Payments a list of the subscribers showing the name, U.S. address, tax identification number, state of residence, amount of Offered Shares subscribed for and the amount of money paid.

14. Suitability of Investors; Compliance with Privacy Laws

14.1 The Dealer Manager will offer Offered Shares, and in its agreements with Selected Dealers will require that the Selected Dealers offer Offered Shares, only to those persons who meet the suitability standards set forth in the Prospectus or in any suitability letter or memorandum sent by the Corporation and will only make offers to persons in the jurisdictions in which it is advised in writing that the Offered Shares are qualified for sale or that such qualification is not required. Offered Shares are available for purchase by persons meeting the suitability standards described in the Prospectus. Notwithstanding the qualification of the Offered Shares for sale in any respective jurisdiction (or the exemption therefrom), the Dealer Manager represents, warrants and covenants that it will not offer Offered Shares and will not permit any of its registered representatives to offer Offered Shares in any jurisdiction unless both the Dealer Manager and such registered representative are duly licensed to transact securities business in such jurisdiction. In offering Offered Shares, the Dealer Manager will comply, and in its agreements with Selected Dealers the Dealer Manager will require that the Selected Dealers comply, with the provisions of the FINRA Rules, as well as all other applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors.

The Dealer Manager further represents, warrants and covenants that neither the Dealer Manager, nor any person associated with the Dealer Manager, shall offer or sell Offered Shares in any jurisdiction except to investors who satisfy the investor suitability standards and minimum investment requirements under the most restrictive of the following: (a) applicable provisions described in the Prospectus, including minimum income and net worth standards; (b) applicable laws of the jurisdiction of which such investor is a resident; or (c) applicable FINRA Rules. The Dealer Manager agrees to ensure that, in recommending the purchase, sale or exchange of Offered Shares to an investor, the Dealer Manager, or a person associated with the Dealer Manager, shall have reasonable grounds to believe, on the basis of information obtained from the investor (and thereafter maintained in the manner and for the period required by the SEC, any state securities commission, FINRA or the Corporation) concerning his age, investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs and any other information known to the Dealer Manager, or person associated with the Dealer Manager, that (i) the investor can reasonably benefit from an investment in the Offered Shares based on the investor’s overall investment objectives and portfolio structure, (ii) the investor is able to bear the economic risk of the investment based on the investor’s overall financial situation and (iii) the investor has an apparent understanding of (A) the fundamental risks of the investment, (B) the risk that the investor may lose his entire investment in the Offered Shares, (C) the lack of liquidity of the Offered Shares, (D) the background and qualifications of the Adviser or the persons responsible for directing and managing the Corporation and (E) the tax consequences of an investment in the Offered Shares. In the case of sales to fiduciary accounts, the suitability standards must be met by the person who directly or indirectly supplied the funds for the purchase of the Offered Shares or by the beneficiary of such fiduciary account. The Dealer Manager further represents, warrants and covenants that the Dealer Manager, or a person associated with the Dealer Manager, will make every reasonable effort to determine the suitability and appropriateness of an investment in Offered Shares of each proposed investor by reviewing documents and records disclosing the

basis upon which the determination as to suitability was reached as to each purchaser of Offered Shares pursuant to a subscription solicited by the Dealer Manager, whether such documents and records relate to accounts which have been closed, accounts which are currently maintained or accounts hereafter established. The Dealer Manager agrees to retain such documents and records in the Dealer Manager’s records for a period of six years from the date of the applicable sale of Offered Shares and to make such documents and records available to (i) the Corporation upon request and (ii) representatives of the SEC, FINRA and applicable state securities administrators upon the Dealer Manager’s receipt of an appropriate document subpoena or other appropriate request for documents from any such agency. The Dealer Manager shall not purchase any Offered Shares for a discretionary account without obtaining the prior written approval of the Dealer Manager’s customer and his or her signature on a Subscription Agreement.

14.2 The Dealer Manager agrees, and in its agreements with Selected Dealers the Dealer Manager will require that the Selected Dealers to agree, (a) to abide by and comply with (i) the privacy standards and requirements of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999 (“GLB Act”) and Regulation S-P, (ii) the privacy standards and requirements of any other applicable Federal or state law and (iii) its own internal privacy policies and procedures, each as may be amended from time to time; (b) to refrain from the use or disclosure of nonpublic personal information (as defined under the GLB Act) of all customers who have opted out of such disclosures except as necessary to service the customers or as otherwise necessary or required by applicable law; and (c) to determine which customers have opted out of the disclosure of nonpublic personal information by periodically reviewing and, if necessary, retrieving a list of such customers (the “List”) as provided by each to identify customers that have exercised their opt-out rights.

In the event the Dealer Manager uses or discloses nonpublic personal information of any customer for purposes other than servicing the customer, or as otherwise required by applicable law, the Dealer Manager will consult the List to determine whether the affected customer has exercised his or her opt-out rights. The Dealer Manager understands that it is prohibited from using or disclosing any nonpublic personal information of any customer that is identified on the List as having opted out of such disclosures.

15. Notices.

Any notice, approval, request, authorization, direction or other communication under this Agreement shall be deemed given (a) when delivered personally, (b) on the first business day after delivery to a national overnight courier service, (c) upon receipt of confirmation if sent via facsimile or (d) on the fifth business day after deposited in the U.S. mail, properly addressed and stamped with the required postage, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, in each case to the intended recipient at the address set forth below:
