AGREEMENT

BETWEEN

AND

FS/KKR ADVISOR, LLC

This Investment Advisory Agreement (this “Agreement”) made this 20th day of December, 2018, by and between FS KKR CAPITAL CORP., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and FS/KKR ADVISOR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”).

WHEREAS, the Company is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”);

WHEREAS, the Adviser is a newly organized investment adviser that intends to register as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”); and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain the Adviser to furnish investment advisory services (the “Investment Advisory Services”) to the Company on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, and the Adviser wishes to be retained to provide such services.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Duties of the Adviser.

(a) Retention of the Adviser. The Company hereby appoints the Adviser to act as an investment adviser to the Company and to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Company, subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), for the period and upon the terms herein set forth, in accordance with:

(i) the investment objectives, policies and restrictions that are set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as supplemented, amended or superseded from time to time;

(ii) all other applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and the Company’s articles of amendment and restatement (as may be amended from time to time, the “Articles”) and bylaws (as may be amended from time to time); and

(iii) such investment policies, directives and regulatory restrictions as the Company may from time to time establish or issue and communicate to the Adviser in writing.

(b) Responsibilities of the Adviser. 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 and allocation of the Company’s investment portfolio, the nature and timing of any changes therein and the manner of implementing such changes;

(ii) identify, evaluate and negotiate the structure of the investments made by the Company;

(iii) execute, monitor and service the Company’s investments;

(iv) place orders with respect to, and arrange for, any investment by the Company;

(v) determine the securities and other assets that the Company shall purchase, retain, or sell;

(vi) perform due diligence on prospective portfolio companies; and

(vii) 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.

(c) Power and Authority. To facilitate the Adviser’s performance of these undertakings, but subject to the restrictions contained herein, the Company hereby delegates to the Adviser (which power and authority may be delegated by the Adviser to one or more Sub-Advisers (as defined below)), and the Adviser hereby accepts, the power and authority to act on behalf of the Company to effectuate investment decisions for the Company, including the negotiation, execution and delivery of all documents relating to the Company’s investments and the placing of orders for other purchase or sale transactions on behalf of the Company. In the event that the Company determines to acquire debt or other financing (or to refinance existing debt or other financing), the Adviser shall seek to arrange for such financing on the Company’s behalf, subject to the oversight and approval of the Board. If it is necessary or appropriate for the Adviser to make investments on behalf of the Company through one or more special purpose vehicles, the Adviser shall have authority to create or arrange for the creation of such special purpose vehicles and to make such investments through such special purpose vehicles in accordance with applicable law. The Company also grants to the Adviser power and authority to engage in all activities and transactions (and anything incidental thereto) that the Adviser deems appropriate, necessary or advisable to carry out its duties pursuant to this Agreement, including the authority to provide, on behalf of the Company, significant managerial assistance to the Company’s portfolio companies to the extent required by the Investment Company Act or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Adviser.

(d) Acceptance of Appointment. The Adviser hereby accepts such appointment and agrees during the term hereof to render the services described herein for the compensation provided herein, subject to the limitations contained herein.

(e) Sub-Advisers. The Adviser is hereby authorized to enter into one or more sub-advisory agreements (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with other investment advisers or other service providers (each, a “Sub-Adviser”) pursuant to which the Adviser may obtain the services

of the Sub-Adviser(s) to assist the Adviser in fulfilling its responsibilities hereunder, subject to the oversight of the Adviser and the Company. Specifically, the Adviser may retain a Sub-Adviser to recommend specific securities or other investments based upon the Company’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions, and work, along with the Adviser, in sourcing, structuring, negotiating, arranging or effecting the acquisition or disposition of such investments and monitoring investments on behalf of the Company, subject to the oversight of the Adviser and the Company, with the scope of such services and oversight to be set forth in each Sub-Advisory Agreement.

(i) The Adviser and not the Company shall be responsible for any compensation payable to any Sub-Adviser; provided, however, that the Adviser shall have the right to direct the Company to pay directly any Sub-Adviser the amounts due and payable to such Sub-Adviser from the fees and expenses otherwise payable to the Adviser under this Agreement.

(ii) Any Sub-Advisory Agreement entered into by the Adviser shall be in accordance with the requirements of the Investment Company Act, including, without limitation, the requirements relating to the Board and Company stockholder approval thereunder, and other applicable federal and state law.

(iii) Any Sub-Adviser shall be subject to the same fiduciary duties imposed on the Adviser pursuant to this Agreement, the Investment Company Act and the Advisers Act, as well as other applicable federal and state law.

(f) Independent Contractor Status. The Adviser shall, for all purposes herein provided, be deemed to be an independent contractor and, except as expressly provided or authorized herein, shall have no authority to act for or represent the Company in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Company.

(g) Record Retention. Subject to review by, and the overall control of, the Board, the Adviser shall keep and preserve for the period required by the Investment Company Act or the Advisers Act, as applicable, any books and records relevant to the provision of the Investment Advisory Services to the Company and shall specifically maintain all books and records with respect to the Company’s portfolio transactions and shall render to the Board such periodic and special reports as the Board may reasonably request or as may be required under applicable federal and state law, and shall make such records available for inspection by the Board and its authorized agents, at any time and from time to time during normal business hours. The Adviser agrees that all records that it maintains for the Company are the property of the Company and shall surrender promptly to the Company any such records upon the Company’s request and upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9, provided that the Adviser may retain a copy of such records. The Adviser shall have the right to retain copies, or originals where required by Rule 204-2 promulgated under the Advisers Act, of such records to the extent required by applicable law.

2. Expenses Payable by the Adviser.

All personnel of the Adviser, when and to the extent engaged in providing the Investment Advisory Services herein, and the compensation and routine overhead expenses of such personnel allocable to such services, shall be provided and paid for by the Adviser or its affiliates and not by the Company.

3. Compensation of the Adviser.

The Company agrees to pay, and the Adviser agrees to accept, as compensation for the services provided by the Adviser herein, a base management fee (the “Base Management Fee”) and an incentive fee (the “Incentive Fee”) as hereinafter set forth. Any of the fees payable to the Adviser under this Agreement for any partial month or calendar quarter shall be appropriately prorated. The Adviser may agree to temporarily or permanently waive, in whole or in part, the Base Management Fee and/or the Incentive Fee. Prior to the payment of any fee to the Adviser, the Company shall obtain written instructions from the Adviser with respect to any waiver or deferral of any portion of such fees. Any portion of a deferred fee payable to the Adviser and not paid over to the Adviser with respect to any month, calendar quarter or year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid over in any such other month prior to the termination of this Agreement, as the Adviser may determine upon written notice to the Company.

(a) Base Management Fee. The Base Management Fee shall be calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the Company’s average weekly gross assets. The Base Management Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, and shall be calculated based on the average weekly value of the Company’s gross assets during the most recently completed calendar quarter. All or any part of the Base Management Fee not taken as to any quarter shall be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the Adviser shall determine. For purposes of computing the Base Management Fee, cash and cash equivalents shall be excluded from gross assets.

(b) Incentive Fee. The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows:

(i) The first part of the Incentive Fee, referred to as the “Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income,” shall be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter. The payment of the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income shall be subject to a quarterly hurdle rate expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter, of 1.75% (7.0% annualized) (the “Hurdle Rate”), subject to a “catch up” feature (as described below).

For this purpose, “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, other than fees for providing managerial assistance, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses reimbursed to the Adviser under that certain Administration Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2018, as the same may be amended from time to time, whereby the Adviser provides administrative services necessary for the operation of the Company, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-

Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.

The calculation of the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income for each quarter is as follows:

(A) No Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income shall be payable to the Adviser in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the Hurdle Rate;

(B) 100% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than or equal to 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) shall be payable to the Adviser. This portion of the Company’s Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income is referred to as the “catch up” and is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 20% on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches 2.1875% (8.75% annualized) on net assets in any calendar quarter; and

(C) For any quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 2.1875% (8.75% annualized) on net assets, the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income shall equal 20.0% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, as the Hurdle Rate and catch-up will have been achieved;

provided that, the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income is subject to a cap (the “Incentive Fee Cap”).

The Incentive Fee Cap is an amount equal to:

(i)

20% of the Per Share Pre-Incentive Fee Return for the Current Quarter (as defined below) and the eleven quarters preceding the Current Quarter, less

(ii)

the cumulative Per Share Incentive Fees accrued and/or payable for the eleven calendar quarters preceding the Current Quarter.

multiplied by the weighted average number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding during the calendar quarter (or any portion thereof) for which the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income is being calculated (the “Current Quarter”).

For the foregoing purpose, the “Per Share Pre-Incentive Fee Return” for any calendar quarter (or portion thereof) is an amount equal to:

For any calendar quarter (or portion thereof) following the merger (the “Merger”) of Corporate Capital Trust, Inc. (“CCT”) and the Company:

(i)

the sum of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the period, realized gains and losses for the period and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the Company’s investments for the period, divided by

(ii)

the weighted average number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding during such period.

For any calendar quarter (or portion thereof) prior to the Merger:

(i)

the sum of the Company’s and CCT’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in the applicable investment advisory agreements then in effect) for the period, realized gains and losses of the Company and CCT for the period, unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the Company’s and CCT’s investments for the period and, in the case of the Company, for any calendar quarter ending prior to January 1, 2018, Base Management Fees (as defined in the applicable investment advisory agreement then in effect) for the calendar quarter, or, in the case of CCT, Management Fees (as defined in CCT’s investment advisory agreement then in effect) prior to November 14, 2017, divided by

(ii)

(x) the weighted average number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding during such period, plus (y) the weighted average number of shares of common stock of CCT outstanding during such period multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (as defined in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 22, 2018, among the Company, IC Acquisition, Inc., CCT and the Advisor).

For the foregoing purpose, the “Per Share Incentive Fee” for any calendar quarter (or portion thereof) is an amount equal to:

For any calendar quarter (or portion thereof) following the Merger:

(i)

the Incentive Fee accrued and/or payable by the Company for such period, divided by

(ii)

the weighted average number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding during such period.

For any calendar quarter (or portion thereof) prior to the Merger:

(A)

(i) the Incentive Fees (as defined in the applicable investment advisory agreements then in effect) accrued and/or payable by the Company and CCT for such period, divided by

(ii)

(x) the weighted average number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding during such period, plus (y) the weighted

average number of shares of common stock of CCT outstanding during such period multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (as defined in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 22, 2018, among the Company, IC Acquisition, Inc., CCT and the Advisor).

If the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value, the Company shall pay no Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income to the Adviser for the Current Quarter.

If the Incentive Fee Cap is a positive value but is less than the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income calculated in accordance with Section 3(b)(i) above, the Company shall pay the Adviser the Incentive Fee Cap for the Current Quarter.

If the Incentive Fee Cap is equal to or greater than the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income calculated in accordance with Section 3(b)(i) above, the Company shall pay the Adviser the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income for the Current Quarter.

For the purpose of calculating the Per Share Pre-Incentive Fee Return, any unrealized appreciation or depreciation recognized as a result of the purchase accounting for the merger of the Company and CCT shall be excluded.

(ii) The second part of the Incentive Fee, referred to as the “Incentive Fee on Capital Gains,” shall be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement). This fee shall equal 20.0% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains, which shall equal both CCT’s and the Company’s realized capital gains (without duplication) on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation (without duplication) on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any capital gain incentive fees previously paid by CCT and the Company.

4. Covenants of the Adviser.

The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and covenants that it will maintain such registration. The Adviser agrees that its activities will at all times be in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal and state laws governing its operations and investments.

5. Brokerage Commissions.

The Adviser is hereby authorized, to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law, to cause the Company to pay a member of a national securities exchange, broker or dealer an amount of commission for effecting a securities transaction in excess of the amount of commission another member of such exchange, broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Adviser determines in good faith, taking into account such factors as price (including the applicable brokerage commission or dealer spread), size of order, difficulty of execution, and operational facilities of the firm and the firm’s risk and skill in positioning blocks of securities, that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage

and/or research services provided by such member, broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or its overall responsibilities with respect to the Company’s portfolio, and is consistent with the Adviser’s duty to seek the best execution on behalf of the Company.

6. Other Activities of the Adviser.

The services provided by the Adviser to the Company are not exclusive, and the Adviser may engage in any other business or render similar or different services to others including, without limitation, the direct or indirect sponsorship or management of other investment based accounts or commingled pools of capital, however structured, having investment objectives similar to those of the Company, so long as its services to the Company hereunder are not impaired thereby, and nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any manager, partner, member (including its members and the owners of its members), officer or employee of the Adviser to engage in any other business or to devote his or her time and attention in part to any other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature, or to receive any fees or compensation in connection therewith (including fees for serving as a director of, or providing consulting services to, one or more of the Company’s portfolio companies, subject to applicable law). The Adviser assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder. It is understood that directors, officers, employees and stockholders of the Company are or may become interested in the Adviser and its affiliates, as directors, officers, employees, partners, stockholders, members, managers or otherwise, and that the Adviser and directors, officers, employees, partners, stockholders, members and managers of the Adviser and its affiliates are or may become similarly interested in the Company as stockholders or otherwise.

7. Responsibility of Dual Directors, Officers and/or Employees.

If any person who is a manager, partner, member, officer or employee of the Adviser is or becomes a director, officer and/or employee of the Company and acts as such in any business of the Company, then such manager, partner, member, officer and/or employee of the Adviser shall be deemed to be acting in such capacity solely for the Company, and not as a manager, partner, member, officer or employee of the Adviser or under the control or direction of the Adviser, even if paid by the Adviser.

8. Indemnification.

The Adviser and any Sub-Adviser (and their officers, managers, partners, members (and their members, including the owners of their members), agents, employees, controlling persons (as defined in the Investment Company Act) and any other person or entity affiliated with, or acting on behalf of, the Adviser or Sub-Adviser) (each, an “Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), shall not be liable to the Company for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any such Indemnified Party in connection with the performance of any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement or otherwise as an investment adviser of the Company (except to the extent specified in Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty (as the same is finally determined by judicial proceedings) with respect to the receipt of compensation for services), and the Company shall indemnify, defend and

protect the Indemnified Parties (each of whom shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof) and hold them harmless from and against all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) (“Losses”) incurred by the Indemnified Parties in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (including an action or suit by or in the right of the Company or its security holders) arising out of or otherwise based upon the performance of any of the Indemnified Parties’ duties or obligations under this Agreement, any Sub-Advisory Agreement, or otherwise as an investment adviser of the Company, to the extent such Losses are not fully reimbursed by insurance, and to the extent that such indemnification would not be inconsistent with the Articles, the laws of the State of Maryland, the Investment Company Act or other applicable law. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this Section 8 to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall protect or be deemed to protect the Indemnified Parties against or entitle or be deemed to entitle the Indemnified Parties to indemnification in respect of, any Losses to the Company or its stockholders to which the Indemnified Parties would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of the Adviser’s duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of the Adviser’s duties and obligations under this Agreement (to the extent applicable, as the same shall be determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act and any interpretations or guidance by the SEC or its staff thereunder). In addition, notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 8 shall not be construed so as to provide for the indemnification of any Indemnified Party for any liability (including liability under federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on persons that act in good faith), to the extent (but only to the extent) that such indemnification would be in violation of applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Section 8 to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9. Duration and Termination of Agreement.

(a) Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect for two (2) years commencing on the date hereof, and thereafter shall continue automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of the Board, or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Company’s directors who are not parties to this Agreement or “interested persons” (as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act) of any such party, in accordance with the requirements of the Investment Company Act.

This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment” (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 15(a)(4) of the Investment Company Act). Further, notwithstanding the termination or nonrenewal of this Agreement as aforesaid, the Adviser shall be entitled to any amounts owed to it under Section 3 through the date of termination or nonrenewal, the provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the Adviser shall remain entitled to the benefits thereof.

(i) After the termination of this Agreement, the Adviser shall not be entitled to compensation or reimbursement for further services provided hereunder, except that it shall be entitled to receive from the Company within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such termination all unpaid reimbursements and all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Adviser prior to termination of this Agreement.

For so long as the Company is regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act, this Agreement shall also be construed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act. In such case, to the extent the applicable laws of the State of New York, or any of the provisions herein, conflict with the provisions of the Investment Company Act, the latter shall control.

14. Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such provision shall be deemed to be severable from this Agreement (to the extent permitted by law) and in any event such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remainder hereof.

15. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original copy and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument binding on all parties hereto, notwithstanding that all parties shall not have signed the same counterpart.

16. Third Party Beneficiaries.

Except for any Sub-Adviser (with respect to Section 8) and any Indemnified Party, such Sub-Adviser and the Indemnified Parties each being an intended beneficiary of this Agreement, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and nothing herein express or implied shall give or be construed to give to any person, other than the parties hereto and such assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder.

17. Survival.

The provisions of Sections 8, 9(b), 9(c), 13, 16 and this Section 17 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

18. Insurance.

Subject to the requirements of Rule 17d-1(d)(7) under the Investment Company Act, the Company shall acquire and maintain a directors and officers liability insurance policy or similar insurance policy, which may name the Adviser and any Sub-Adviser each as an additional insured party (each an “Additional Insured Party” and collectively the “Additional Insured Parties”). Such insurance policy shall include reasonable coverage from a reputable insurer. The Company shall make all premium payments required to maintain such policy in full force and effect; provided, however, each Additional Insured Party, if any, shall pay to the Company, in advance of the due date of such premium, its allocated share of the premium. Irrespective of whether the Adviser and any Sub-Adviser is a named Additional Insured Party on such policy, the Company shall provide the Adviser and any Sub-Adviser with written notice upon receipt of any notice of: (a) any default under such policy; (b) any pending or threatened termination, cancellation or non-renewal of such policy or (c) any coverage limitation or reduction with respect to such policy. The foregoing provisions of this Section 18 notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to acquire or maintain any insurance policy to the extent that the same is not available upon commercially reasonable pricing terms or at all, as determined in good faith by the required majority (as defined in Section 57(o) of the Investment Company Act) of the Board.

19. Brand Usage

The Adviser conducts its investment advisory business under, and owns all rights to, the trademark “FS/KKR Advisor” and the “FS/KKR Advisor” design (collectively, the “Brand”). In connection with the Company’s (a) public filings; (b) requests for information from state and federal regulators; (c) offering materials and advertising materials; and (d) investor communications, the Company may state in such materials that investment advisory services are being provided by the Adviser to the Company under the terms of this Agreement. The Adviser hereby grants a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and royalty-free license (the “License”) to the Company for the use of the Brand solely as permitted in the foregoing sentence. Prior to using the Brand in any manner, the Company shall submit all proposed uses to the Adviser for prior written approval solely to the extent the Company’s use of the Brand or any combination or derivation thereof has materially changed from the Company’s use of the Brand previously approved by the Adviser. The Adviser reserves the right to terminate the License immediately upon written notice for any reason, including if the usage is not in compliance with its standards and policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term of the License granted under this Section 19 shall be for the term of this Agreement only, including renewals and extensions, and the right to use the Brand as provided herein shall terminate immediately upon the termination of this Agreement. The Company agrees that the Adviser is the sole owner of the Brand, and any and all goodwill in the Brand arising from the Company’s use shall inure solely to the benefit of the Adviser. Without limiting the foregoing, the License shall have no effect on the Company’s ownership rights of the works within which the Brand shall be used.
