Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned subscriber (the “Subscriber”) understands that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Capital Company, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Company”), is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as described in the Private Placement Memorandum of the Company (as such document may be amended, amended and restated or supplemented from time to time and together with any appendices and supplements thereto, the “Offering Document”). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties contained in this subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), the Subscriber irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Shares”), on the terms and conditions described herein, in the Offering Document, in the Company’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (as such document may be further amended, amended and restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Declaration of Trust”), and in the Company’s Bylaws (the “Bylaws” and together with the Declaration of Trust, the “Governing Documents”).
1. Subscription for Shares; Closing. The Subscriber hereby subscribes for Shares in the Company with a subscription amount in the amount set forth above (the “Subscription Amount”), subject to Section 13.11, on the terms described or appearing in the Offering Document and the Governing Documents. Subject to the terms of this Subscription Agreement and the Governing Documents, the Subscriber’s obligation to pay for Shares hereunder shall be unconditional, complete and binding upon the completion of the Closing (as defined below). For clarity, the Subscriber will be admitted as a Shareholder of the Company only after it has fully funded its Subscription Amount (the “Closing” and such date the “Closing Date”). Each Closing will generally occur on a monthly basis on the last calendar day of the month or on a date as determined by the Company or the Investment Advisor in its sole discretion. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it has received full and adequate consideration on the Closing Date for the entirety of its Subscription Amount and hereby waives any and all defenses of nonconsideration, including any defenses resulting from any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding of the Company, any material or total decrease in value of the Shares or any inability of the Company to actually issue Shares.
FOR ALL SUBSCRIBERS
2. Other Subscription Agreements. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company has entered into or expects to enter into separate subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and, together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with other subscribers (“Other Subscribers”), providing for the sale to Other Subscribers of Shares in the Company and the admission of the Other Subscribers as shareholders of the Company (“Shareholders”) at the Closing or at any subsequent Closings (each, a “Subsequent Closing”). In the event that the Subscriber or any Other Subscriber would like to purchase additional Shares of the Company at a Subsequent Closing, such Subscriber will be required to enter into a separate short form subscription agreement with the Company, it being understood and agreed that such separate short form subscription agreement will be considered to be an Other Subscription Agreement and the sales of Shares to the Subscriber or Other Subscribers, as applicable, are separate sales for the purposes of this Subscription Agreement.
3. Acceptance of Subscription Agreement. A properly and fully completed and executed Subscription Agreement shall be deemed accepted by the Company on the date that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Capital Holdings LLC (the “Investment Advisor”) emails a confirmation and acceptance letter, a form of which is attached hereto as Schedule 5 (the “Confirmation and Acceptance Letter”) to the Subscriber.
4. Subscription Amount; Price Per Share. The Subscriber is required to fully fund its Subscription Amount, which shall not be less than $10,000, by wire to the Company’s bank account (as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto) on or before the last business day of the month that it enters into the Subscription Agreement. In exchange for its Subscription Amount, Subscriber will receive an amount of Shares of the Company equal to its Subscription Amount divided by the applicable Price Per Share (as defined below). The Price Per Share shall mean the Company’s then-calculated net asset value per Share determined by the Company as of a date within 48 hours of the Closing Date, which will be determined in accordance with the limitations under Section 23 of the Investment Company Act. The Company may set the per-Share price above the net asset value per Share based on a variety of factors, including the total amount of the Company’s organizational and other expenses.
5. Dividends; Dividend Reinvestment Plan. As described more fully in the Offering Document, the Company generally intends to make quarterly distributions in such amounts as determined by the Company’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) in its discretion. The Company adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”), under which a Shareholder participating in the DRIP will have cash distributions declared by the Company and payable to such Shareholder automatically be reinvested under the DRIP in additional whole and fractional Shares. Shareholders will participate in the DRIP unless the Shareholder “opts out” of the DRIP by notifying the Company in writing through the account maintenance page of the Company’s Shareholder Account website (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/XXXxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxx) or by calling the Company’s call center at 000-000-0000, in each case, at least 20 business days prior to the distribution date fixed by the Board for such dividend, thereby electing to receive cash distributions or a combination of cash and Shares. Shareholders who receive distributions in the form of additional Shares generally will be subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as Shareholders who elect not to participate in the DRIP and receive cash distributions or a combination of cash and Shares.
6. Credit Facility. In connection with any financings, borrowings, indebtedness, or guarantees (any financing, borrowing, indebtedness or guaranty, a “Credit Facility”) of the Company and any of its subsidiaries that are party to a Credit Facility, the Company shall be authorized to directly or indirectly collateralize such financings, borrowings, indebtedness or guaranty, and pledge, mortgage, assign, transfer and/or grant security interests directly or indirectly to the lender of such indebtedness or guaranty in (i) investments in portfolio companies and the proceeds thereof and any other assets, (ii) the Company’s rights to enforce the funding of a Subscription Amount hereunder and under the Other Subscription Agreements; and (iii) a Company collateral account into which the payment by any Subscriber of its Subscription Amount may be made. Any such collateral pledge may be made directly by the Company to the lender of the Credit Facility or indirectly to such lender by first pledging such collateral to a subsidiary or agent of the Company, which subsidiary or agent then on pledges such rights ultimately to the lender under the Credit Facility.
FOR ALL SUBSCRIBERS
Subscriber hereby (i) acknowledges that the Company has informed Subscriber that the Company may enter into a Credit Facility at any time, including before and after the investment period, and that such Credit Facility may include a pledge of collateral referred to in clauses (ii) through (iii) above; (ii) acknowledges that for so long as the Credit Facility is in place, except with the prior consent of the lender, the Company has agreed not to amend, modify, cancel, terminate, reduce, suspend or waive any of such Subscriber’s obligations under this Subscription Agreement in a manner that could be materially adverse to the rights of the lender contemplated by this paragraph; and (iii) agrees, if requested by the Company, to provide to the Company, to the extent publicly available and if the Subscriber is an entity, as soon as reasonably available after the end of Subscriber’s fiscal year, a copy of such Subscriber’s annual report, if available, or such Subscriber’s balance sheet as of the end of such fiscal year and the related statements of operations for such fiscal year prepared or reviewed by independent public accountants in connection with such Subscriber’s annual reporting requirements.

The Subscriber was not solicited to invest in the Company by any form of general solicitation and has previously provided information regarding the Subscriber’s financial situation and sophistication as an investor.
FOR ALL SUBSCRIBERS

The Subscriber understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in Shares for an indefinite period of time, because, among other reasons, the offering and sale of Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and that they may not be resold or otherwise disposed of unless they are registered thereunder or an exemption from registration is available. The Subscriber also understands that transfers of Shares are further restricted by the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the Governing Documents, and may be restricted by applicable state and non-U.S. securities laws, that no market exists or is expected to develop for the Shares.
8.6. Share Transfer Restrictions.

No Transfer will be effectuated except by registration of the Transfer on the Company books. Each transferee must agree to be bound by these restrictions and all other obligations as an investor in the Company. Following an Exchange Listing, the Subscriber may be restricted from selling or disposing of its Shares by applicable securities laws or contractually by a lock-up agreement with the underwriters of the Exchange Listing.

(IV) | such Transfer will not subject the Company, the Adviser or any of their affiliates or any officer, trustee, manager, director or employee of the Company or the Adviser or any of their affiliates to additional regulatory requirements the compliance with which would subject the Company or such other Person to material expense or burden (unless such affected person consents to such Transfer). |
(B) The Subscriber agrees that it will pay all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Company in connection with any Transfer of all or any fraction of its Shares, prior to the consummation of such Transfer.
(C) The Company shall not recognize for any purpose any purported Transfer of all or any fraction of the Shares and shall be entitled to treat the transferor of Shares as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions or dividends made in good faith to it, unless the Company shall have given its prior written consent thereto and there shall have been filed with the Company a dated notice of such Transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, executed and acknowledged by both the seller, assignor or transferor and the purchaser, assignee or transferee, and such notice (1) contains the acceptance by the purchaser, assignee or transferee of all of the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement and its agreement to be bound thereby, and (2) represents that such Transfer was made in accordance with this Subscription Agreement, the provisions of the Offering Document and all applicable laws and regulations applicable to the transferee and the transferor.
